With most people spending a lot more time at home these days, their appliances are seeing more activity than ever before. Since that’s on our mind, let’s talk about ways that we can use our appliances safely.
It’s important to know that frayed wires cause fires. If you have appliances that you regularly move – perhaps taking it out of the cabinet and then putting it away after using it – there is likely an increased possibility that those appliances may have some frayed wiring. However, there are plenty of other ways that electrical wiring can be damaged, like electrical shorts or pests.
Also, you’ll want to keep your electrical appliances away from water. This seems like a no-brainer, but it’s all too common that appliances (and people) are severely damaged by a stray puddle of water.
In any case, checking your appliances regularly can help you prevent bad things like electrocution or property damage.
