Can I mix appliance brands in my kitchen? Short answer: Yes, when it makes sense.
If you&rsquo;re designing a new kitchen or upgrading your kitchen appliances, you might wonder: Should I stick to one brand or mix and match? The truth is today&rsquo;s kitchen trends are all about&nbsp;personalized design, performance, and flexibility and mixing appliance brands can be a smart move when done thoughtfully.
At KAM Appliances, we help homeowners and kitchen designers find the right balance between&nbsp;function, budget, and style, even if that means blending multiple top appliance brands.
When Mixing Brands Makes Sense
Many appliance brands shine in specific categories. For example:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/sub-zero">Sub-Zero&nbsp;</a>is world-renowned for luxury&nbsp;refrigeration</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/wolf">Wolf&nbsp;</a>dominates in professional-style&nbsp;cooking appliances</li>
<li><a href="https://www.subzero-wolf.com/cove/dishwashers">Cove&nbsp;</a>offers ultra-quiet, high-performance&nbsp;dishwashers</li>
</ul>
These brands are designed to work together, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean every kitchen needs to follow a single-brand rule. If you&rsquo;re passionate about cooking but want to save on refrigeration, combining brands allows you to&nbsp;prioritize what matters most.
Add Personality and Style to Your Kitchen
Want to make your kitchen stand out? Mixing brands gives you the chance to bring in unique, statement pieces.

By mixing and matching, you create a&nbsp;custom kitchen design&nbsp;that reflects your personality, not just a showroom replica.

Discover how to treat common summer stains and find the best laundry appliances for seasonal messes. Read KAM Appliances’ ultimate summer laundry and top 5 tips to treat stains and keep your clothes fresh.

<img alt="" src="https://cdn.avbportal.com/magento-media/KAM-Appliances/July_Promo_Laundry.jpg" />
Summer brings sunshine, sandy beach days, sticky ice cream hands, and more laundry than ever. Whether you&rsquo;re tackling watermelon juice stains or trying to revive beach towels, your laundry room deserves a seasonal strategy. At KAM Appliances, we know that small tips and the right tools can make a big difference. Here's your go-to summer laundry guide&nbsp;and top 5 tips&nbsp;for fresh, clean clothes all season long.
Top Summer Stains &amp; How to Treat Them
1. Watermelon &amp; Fruit Juice Stains&nbsp;
These sugary stains love to set fast. Blot the spot (don&rsquo;t rub!) with cold water, pretreat with a stain remover or vinegar solution, and wash on cold. Avoid the dryer until the stain disappears.
2. Ice Cream &amp; Popsicle Stains&nbsp;
The classic summer drip! Rinse with cold water ASAP, apply dish soap or laundry detergent directly to the stain, let sit, and wash normally. For stubborn stains, opt for a steam cycle if your washer has it.
3. Grass &amp; Dirt Stains from Summer Sports&nbsp;
Grass stains benefit from a pre-treatment using an enzyme-based stain remover or a paste of baking soda and water. Scrub gently, then wash on warm or heavy-duty depending on fabric.
4. BBQ Sauce &amp; Mustard Stains&nbsp;
Tackle these colorful condiments with dish soap or a pre-wash stain spray. Let sit for 10&ndash;15 minutes, then wash in warm water.&nbsp;Repeat if needed.&nbsp;Avoid&nbsp;the dryer until the stain disappears.
5. Sand &amp; Smells in Beach Towels&nbsp;
Shake towels outside to remove excess sand. Use warm water, vinegar, and a second rinse cycle to remove musty smells and residues. Skip fabric softener to keep towels fluffy and absorbent.
Laundry Tips to Simplify Summer Washing
<div class="s7">
<ul>
<li>Wash swimsuits in a mesh bag with cold water and mild detergent to preserve elasticity</li>
<li>Air-dry wherever possible to preserve energy and avoid shrinking</li>
<li>Sort laundry by use (outdoor, beach, daily wear) to customize wash cycles and avoid cross-contamination of sand or stains</li>
<li>Clean your washer drum regularly to keep it smelling fresh and functioning efficiently</li>
</ul>

Prepare For Hosting the Holidays with these Oven Cleaning Tips
Before the turkey goes in, make sure your oven is up for the challenge. The holiday season is one of the busiest times for your kitchen, and a clean, well-functioning oven can make all the difference when you&rsquo;re cooking for family and friends.
Here&rsquo;s how to get your oven spotless and holiday-ready &mdash; safely and efficiently.
How Often Should You Clean Your Oven?
Ideally, the inside of your oven should be cleaned once every three to six months, depending on how frequently you use it. Regular cleaning not only keeps your food tasting great but also prevents smoke, lingering odors, and uneven heating. Also, following any spills once your oven cools down, wipe up any spills as soon as it&rsquo;s safe to do so &mdash; it&rsquo;ll prevent messes from baking in and make your next clean much easier.
What Should I Use to Clean?
Avoid using strong chemical cleaners or oven sprays &mdash; they can corrode your oven&rsquo;s enamel surface and leave behind unpleasant fumes. Instead, go natural:
<ul type="disc">
<li>Mix baking soda and water into a paste.</li>
<li>Spread it over the interior surfaces.</li>
<li>Let it sit overnight, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.</li>
<li>Spray white vinegar to help lift stubborn spots and add shine.</li>
</ul>
This method is gentle, effective, and safe for both you and your oven.
What Should I Clean?
Oven Racks &ndash; Remove your oven racks and soak them in hot, soapy water for a few hours. A sprinkle of your baking soda mixture can help loosen up grease and burnt-on residue. Use a soft sponge or brush to scrub, rinse thoroughly, and dry before placing them back inside.
Once the inside is spotless, give attention to the parts you see and touch most often:
Clean the doors and knobs &ndash; Wipe down the oven door handle, knobs, and control panel with a mild dish soap solution. For stainless steel, use a microfiber cloth to prevent streaks, and dry with a soft towel for a polished look.
Shine the oven window &ndash; For the glass, spray a mix of vinegar and water and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe clean for a streak-free finish. If grime is stubborn, apply a thin layer of the baking soda mixture, let it rest, then gently scrub and rinse.
Use the self-clean function (if available) &ndash; If your oven has a self-clean cycle, this is the time to use it. Run it well before your holiday cooking so any heat or odors can dissipate. Be sure to crack a window or turn on your hood for good ventilation. Always follow your oven manufacturer&rsquo;s self-cleaning instructions &mdash; some models require you to remove racks and rails, while others have specially treated racks that can stay in during the cycle. If so, remove racks first, and when the cycle is done, wipe out the remaining ash with a damp cloth.
KAM COMMENTS:
A little cleaning and care this fall will help your oven perform its best &mdash; cooking evenly, efficiently, and ready for all the holiday feasts ahead. And if it needs a little extra attention, our KAM Service Team is here to help. Appointments fill up quickly this time of year, so reach out early to make sure your oven is ready for every festive meal.

Prepare For Hosting the Holidays with these Oven Cleaning Tips

Today&rsquo;s ovens come packed with advanced features designed to make cooking easier and more versatile. But even if you&rsquo;re just working with basic functions, there are plenty of creative ways to make the most out of your oven. Here are some fun and unexpected things you can do:
<ol>
<li>Dehydrate Fruits and Veggies Transform your oven into a dehydrator by setting it to a low temperature (around 140-170&deg;F or 60-75&deg;C) and leaving the door slightly open to allow moisture to escape. Slice fruits like apples, strawberries, or even herbs, and dry them out over several hours for healthy, homemade snacks. </li>
<li>Make Your Own Yogurt Use your oven&rsquo;s "keep warm" function (100-110&deg;F or 37-43&deg;C) to incubate yogurt. After heating the milk and mixing in the starter culture, place it in the oven for 8-12 hours to ferment. If your oven doesn&rsquo;t have a "keep warm" function, simply preheat it to the lowest temperature, then turn it off an hour before adding the yogurt. Place the yogurt inside, close the door, and leave the oven light on to maintain warmth during fermentation. </li>
<li>Proof Dough You can proof bread dough in your oven by using either the proof setting or just the oven light. The gentle warmth helps your dough rise faster. Simply place the dough in the oven with the light on, and let it rise until doubled in size. </li>
<li>Slow Cooking Turn your oven into a slow cooker by setting it to a low temperature (around 200&deg;F or 93&deg;C). Use it to cook stews, braises, or even pulled pork over several hours for melt-in-your-mouth results without needing a dedicated slow cooker. </li>
<li>Toast Nuts and Spices Toasting nuts or spices in the oven ensures even roasting and enhances their flavor. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast at 300&deg;F (150&deg;C) for 5-10 minutes, shaking the tray occasionally. This method is more hands-off than stovetop toasting and gives a consistent result.</li>
</ol>
With these simple techniques, you can unlock even more potential from your oven. Whether you&rsquo;re making snacks, experimenting with homemade yogurt, or creating deeper flavors with toasted spices, your oven is a versatile tool that goes beyond traditional baking.
KAM COMMENTS: You don&rsquo;t have to be a gourmet cook to make the most of your kitchen appliances. Pick one thing to try and see what happens. For me, toasting nuts in the oven has been a game changer. It takes all the guess work out of knowing when they&rsquo;re done, and no more burnt nuts. Toasted nuts have much more flavor and stay crisper in your foods.
