Answer B:
We have many appliances at home but the only ones we always use are those used for cooking
like the oven and the refrigerator because my family is inclined to eating. To keep them in good
condition, we make sure to operate them properly. When using the oven, we see to it that all the
food placed inside are sealed in a container to keep them from smelling. We regularly wipe the
inner part of the oven with a cloth dipped into a solution of water and baking soda. Cleaning the
fridge regularly ensures longer storage life of our foods. We do it by wiping off spills, removing
spoiled foods, wiping the doors and the interiors, and keeping leftovers airtight.
