Clean out those cabinets and wipe down your appliances with these easy tips this spring...

Clean out those cabinets and wipe down your appliances with these easy tips this spring!

<h2>1. Declutter your Kitchen</h2>
<img alt="woman puts cup away in cupboard" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/spring-clean-kitchen.jpg" title="woman puts cup away in cupboard" />
Spring cleaning is all about getting into the deep, dark corners that never get washed, and thoroughly cleaning them. But it also means purging your home of unnecessary items you don&rsquo;t need anymore. Start your mission off by opening each cabinet and kicking out the Tupperware, cups, and other utensils that clutter your space.

<h2>2. Make a DIY Cleaner </h2>
From glass cleaners to wood cleaners, when it comes to your kitchen, all you need is one to do the job. Make your own organic, all-purpose spray with only a few simple ingredients: vinegar, baking soda, lavender or lemon essential oil, and water. Use this concoction on everything from your oven to your walls and wipe off with a microfiber washcloth.


<h2>3. Use Your Dishwasher</h2>
Obviously, you already use your dishwasher, but you probably only use it on things like your dirty dishes. It&rsquo;s time to think outside the box for this spring cleaning, and throw in a few unorthodox items that could use a good washing. Soap dishes, pet dishes,&nbsp; sponges, microwave trays, drip pans, spice containers, fridge shelves, and more!

<h2>4. Look for Expiration Dates</h2>

While the milk may be able to go a day or two longer than its expiration date, it&rsquo;s important that you throw out everything that has already moved past its &ldquo;best if used by&rdquo; date. Remember that canned goods, pasta, and other nonperishables may last longer, but they still have a date they expire by.

Keep the place you eat spotless by using these tips while spring cleaning. And if you are looking to add pristine new appliances to your kitchen, stop by to see what we have in store for you!

When it comes to Samsung dishwashers, you've got a lot of options to pick from, but here are a few great choices to help you start your search!

<img alt="Which Samsung dishwasher is right for you?" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/F800_009_Detail-Stom-Wash_Silver.jpg?w=700" width="1000" />
How does one choose anything these days when there are so many options to decide from? Like which meal to pick at a popular restaurant, where to find the perfect birthday gift for your ten-year-old nephew, or even why you should get a new dishwasher from Samsung. While the internet is helpful at times, it can give almost too much information, making it hard to know exactly what&rsquo;s true and what&rsquo;s not.
But, just like you&rsquo;d go to a car dealer for help on your automobiles, you&rsquo;d come to us for help on all your dishwasher appliance needs. That includes helping you figure out which dishwasher would be best for you. There are so many features and styles to pick from that it can be a very overwhelming activity to do alone! Here are a few Samsung dishwashers that will wash and sanitize your dishes like it&rsquo;s nobody&rsquo;s business.


<h1>1.&nbsp;Samsung Top Control Dishwasher with StormWash</h1>
If you are a firm believer of never having to clean off a plate before placing it in the dishwasher, a Samsung dishwasher with StormWash may be exactly what you&rsquo;ve been looking for. The StormWash feature has the power to destroy grease and really wipe out those baked-on pots and pans that not even a scrub brush couldn&rsquo;t cleanse. The circular motion of the jets really gets ALL the nooks and crannies of your dishes so you never have to give them a look-over after they&rsquo;re done.


<img alt="Which Samsung Dishwasher is Right for You?" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/WaterWall_Samsung.jpeg?w=700" />
<h1>2.&nbsp;Samsung Top Control Dishwasher with WaterWall Technology</h1>
Some dishes need a little extra washing, but with a Samsung dishwasher with WaterWall Technology, you&rsquo;ll never have to rewash them again. This linear wash system powerfully shoots a streaming wall of water on your dirty dishes, creating remarkable cleaning results. When the cycle is done, the door automatically opens to allow steam to escape, while a fan creates a curtain of air to protect your worktop. This AutoRelease feature improves drying results up to 35-percent!


<h1>3.&nbsp;Samsung Front Control Dishwasher with Hybrid Interior</h1>
Need a dishwasher that takes both powerful cleaning and functional rack space to the next level? You are in luck! With a Samsung dishwasher with a Hybrid Interior, you can officially fit all your pots, pans, Tupperware, dishes, silverware, utensils, and more inside without struggling to find room. The three adjustable racks are made to accommodate various dishware shapes and sizes, making your job of placing them in the dishwasher easy and quick.
Aside from the rack space, this dishwasher also leaves your dirty dishes looking immaculate. The Advanced Wash System that provides heavy-duty washing power to your dirty dishes is just what the doctor ordered after a big Thanksgiving dinner. You&rsquo;ll want this appliance by your side during those times you just can&rsquo;t get the burnt scrambled eggs off the pan, or when the spaghetti sauce has decided to permanently reside on your pot.

Which Samsung Dishwasher is Right for You?

Ever wondered what you're REALLY supposed to be storing in those little drawers at the bottom of your fridge? Learn how to make the most of your refrigerator's crisper drawers!

<img style="width:100%;" alt="How to Make the Most of Your Refrigerator's Crisper Drawer" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Appliance _ How to Make the Most of Your Refrigerator_s Crisper Drawer1.jpg?w=700" />

Ah, the crisper drawer. Or, as it’s more likely known in your home, the “anything that doesn’t fit anywhere else in the fridge” drawer. Those little drawers near the bottom of your refrigerator always seem to collect things like string cheese, yogurt cups, and granola bars (seriously? Who put those in the fridge?), but what are they actually for? 

It turns out, these nifty compartments serve an important purpose when it comes to keeping your food fresh!

What is a Crisper Drawer?

A crisper drawer is basically a sealed off area within a fridge set to lower or higher humidity than the rest of the unit. Some fridges come with multiple drawers with pre-set humidity levels, while others let you adjust drawers to any humidity level you need. 

The adjustment mechanism is deceptively simple: when you set it to high humidity, a little vent in the back of the drawer closes, sealing the compartment shut. As you set the humidity lower, the vent opens, letting out some of the moisture trapped inside. Easy! But what can be slightly more complicated is figuring out which foods go where.

What to Store in a Crisper Drawer

Even though you can keep all kinds of things in your crisper drawer, you’ll see the best results with fresh produce. If you always seem to be throwing money at grocery stores and farmer’s markets, only to find your beautiful organic veggies wilted beyond reason just days later, a crisper drawer might be able to save your wallet and your dinner plans.

But before you start tossing everything leafy into the crisper, keep in mind that different produce has different needs. Some will need lower humidity and others need higher humidity, and you can do some serious damage to your food by putting in the wrong drawer.

Low Humidity

A common rule of thumb for determining what should go in each drawer goes like this: “rot, low; wilt, high.” That means foods that rot as they go bad should be kept in the low humidity drawer. Fruits and other produce that don’t lose moisture easily should be top candidates for this drawer. 

These types of produce emit gases as they age, but the open vent in the back lets those gases out of the drawer, so the fruit stays fresher for longer. Here are a few things to try storing in a low humidity drawer:

•	Avocados
•	Peaches
•	Apples
•	Pears
•	Grapes



High Humidity

Leafy greens and other foods that wilt as they get older should be kept in high humidity conditions. These foods won’t release much gas while they’re being stored, but they’ll lose moisture like crazy. Keeping these veggies in the crisper drawer set to high humidity should help keep them fresh and…well, crisp!

•	Lettuce
•	Broccoli
•	Carrots
•	Cucumbers
•	Strawberries

Now quick, get to the fridge! Rearrange your drawers with all this in mind and notice how much longer your food lasts. Another pro tip: crisper drawers tend to work best when they’re nearly full. So, go crazy next time you’re feeling the need to freshen up your diet! The more fruits and veggies you can pack in, the better—as long as you remember to eat them all! 

If you’re still struggling to keep food fresh, the problem might be your fridge. Come on down to BrandSource Canada to check out our selection of new fridges, and ask us about anything and everything appliance!

How to Make the Most of Your Refrigerator's Crisper Drawer 

Tired of your fruits and veggies going bad after a couple of days? With a few tips and a Samsung refrigerator, your produce will stay fresh for longer than ever

<img style="width:100%;" alt="Preserve Fruits and Veggies Better in a Samsung Refrigerator" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Samsung _ Preserve Fruit and Veggies Better2.jpg?w=700" />

Keeping fruit and vegetables in ripe condition after a couple of days seems like an almost impossible feat. The moment you leave the store, the fruits already seem like they’ve aged. So, doing your part to preserve produce properly will help you keep them delicious for longer, and hopefully you’ll never need to waste any ever again.

With the assistance of a Samsung Refrigerator and its extra-large capacity (some have enough room to fit up to 28 bags of groceries), you’ll find that storing your fruits and vegetables for more than a week won’t leave you with a moldy problem. 

Follow these guidelines to help preserve your fruits and vegetables like a pro in your awe-inspiring Samsung Refrigerator.

Separate the fruits and veggies

Fruits and veggies may mix together well for a diet, but when it comes to them being in the same drawer, they couldn’t be worse for each other. As fruits slowly age, they give off an ethylene gas which helps them ripen but ultimately makes vegetables spoil quickly. So, whatever you do, separate your fruits and vegetables into different drawers in your Samsung Refrigerator.

Let them have space

After a big grocery trip, it’s easy to just shove everything in the refrigerator and call it a day. But, your healthy treats need space in order to last a while, so storing them without strategy could cause them to rot rather quickly. 

On a positive note, most Samsung refrigerators are built with an immense amount of space, so finding room for all your vegetables and fruit shouldn’t be an issue. 

As long as you do the following with your produce before storing, you should be fine:

<img style="width:100%;" alt="Preserve Fruits and Veggies Better in a Samsung Refrigerator" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/blog/2018/Samsung _ Preserve Fruit and Veggies Better1.jpg?w=700" />
-	Remove any ties and rubber bands
-	Cut leafy ends off
-	Allow for a good airflow by poking holes in bags
-	No need to refrigerate your tomatoes

Use the Twin Cooling Plus feature

Refrigeration has evolved so that your fruits and vegetables can stay cooler and fresher for longer. With the Samsung Twin Cooling plus technology, your food will stay fresh for twice as long. 

Because there is 70 percent humidity in these fridges, opposed to 30 percent in a conventional fridge, your food will never dry out. Produce will look so good that after a couple days, you won’t be able to tell how long they’ve been sitting in your fridge.

Humidity Controlled Crisper Drawers

For those fruits and veggies that need extra attention, find a Samsung refrigerator with Humidity Controlled Crisper Drawers. The compartments will help keep your produce crisp and fresh while providing a generous amount of space for all your greens and goodies.

If you’re looking for ways to keep your produce in good condition for more than a couple days, look no further than Samsung refrigerators. They have the capacity, the storage setup, and the advanced technology to prevent your produce from going bad.
