Why Trust Us

When you first start looking for new kitchen appliances, everything seems to be in stainless steel. These appliances are made to look shiny and technological, so customers associate them with modern advances in refrigerator or gas range designs. However, it’s possible to have a high-tech appliance in your home without making your kitchen look like a spaceship.

White appliances are still in style. If anything, they are making a comeback as customers want warm colors and bright hues in their kitchens. White appliances have the same tech capabilities as stainless-steel models and are just as easy to clean. Learn more about designing with white appliances and get to know a few popular models on today’s market.

The Timeless Appeal of White Appliances

White appliances have maintained popularity in kitchen design due to their classic look and versatility across various styles, from modern to rustic.

Their main advantage is their ability to brighten spaces, as they reflect light and enhance the sense of openness, making them ideal for smaller or dimly-lit kitchens.

Moreover, white appliances serve as a neutral backdrop, allowing other design elements to stand out, and offering flexibility to adapt to any future changes in decor. This blend of aesthetics and practicality ensures their continued appeal in home design.

Considerations for White Appliances

White appliances are a popular option for people who want to brighten up their kitchens. They can add warmth to a space and provide a neutral palate for designers. You can match your white appliances to your cabinetry and paint or use them to contrast against deep blues and farmhouse greens. However, there are still a few things you need to consider when shopping for white appliances:

• Do All Your Appliances Match? A creamy white refrigerator might clash with a bright white microwave. You don’t want multiple shades of white ruining your kitchen design.
• Are You Looking for Warm or Cool Appliances? The different shades of white can change the feel of your kitchen. A cool white appliance can stand out in an overall warm home.
• Do Your Favorite Brands Have Models That Come in White? Don’t sacrifice your cooking ability to buy white appliances. You still need a reliable refrigerator, dishwasher, range, and oven.
• Are the Appliances Easy to Clean? Make sure you can keep your appliances looking good as new, even if they are white. You don’t want a curry dish or pot of spaghetti sauce to permanently stain these exteriors.

Two ways to effectively shop for white appliances are to read reviews from existing customers and to look at the appliances in-person at our showroom. Spencer’s TV & Appliance has 10 different locations across Phoenix and surrounding areas where you can look at white appliances. Find the right models for your needs.

Maintenance and Longevity of White Appliances

White appliances not only enhance the visual appeal of a kitchen but also require specific care to maintain their pristine condition over time. Here are some practical tips for keeping your white appliances looking as good as new:

Regular Cleaning: Routine cleaning is crucial. Wipe down your white appliances with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution or a mixture of vinegar and water. This will help remove smudges, spills, and fingerprints that are more visible on white surfaces.

Stain Removal: For tougher stains like food splatters or grease, use a baking soda paste (three parts baking soda to one part water) applied gently with a soft sponge. This mild abrasive can help lift stains without scratching the appliance's surface.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Steer clear of bleach or chlorine-based cleaners as they can discolor the white finish over time. Instead, opt for gentler alternatives like hydrogen peroxide or magic erasers for spot cleaning.

Protect from Scratches: Be mindful of objects that could scratch the surface, such as metal utensils or abrasive cleaners. Always use soft cloths and non-abrasive sponges when cleaning.

Polishing: Occasionally, use a polish designed for appliances to enhance the shine of your white appliances. This not only brings back the luster but also adds a protective layer that repels dirt and fingerprints.

Regular Inspections: Check seals and handles regularly for dirt build-up that can accumulate in crevices. Clean these areas thoroughly to prevent long-term damage and ensure the appliance functions efficiently.

By following these care guidelines, you can extend the life and appearance of your white appliances, ensuring they continue to brighten your kitchen effectively for many years.
