Videotape cassette
Dusting videocassettes keeps the inside of your VCR cleaner.
Duct
These metal conduits distribute heated or cooled air from a furnace or central air conditioner. No one’s sure whether they need regular professional cleaning.
Lead paint
If it’s in good shape, it just needs regular cleaning to avoid hazards.
Radiator, steam (upright)
These are the simplest, safest type of radiator to keep clean.
Microfiber mop
A relatively new material that removes soil by "hooking" it.
Pressed wood
Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
Wall, painted
First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.
Audio/video components
These things are dust magnets. Upkeep, thankfully, is pretty easy.
Trisodium phosphate (TSP)
An old standby that is still useful for cleaning walls and other surfaces.
Furnace
Replacing or cleaning the filter each month is key.
Toaster oven
Another kitchen appliance where it will pay to stay ahead of crumbs, grime, grease and spatters.
Broom
Old-style corn brooms are much harder to use than their modern counterparts.
Baskets
A tisket, a tasket ... here's how to clean your basket.
Vent, heating and air conditioning
Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.
Backpack vacuum cleaner
Pros use this machine all day, avoiding back strain and repetitive stress injury.
Mattress
Turn and vacuum twice a year for better sleep — and better health.
Bathroom fan
Exhaust fans aren’t just for keeping the bathroom from smelling bad.
Knick-knack
Postpone cleaning — Display ‘em behind glass.
Wooden beams
Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.
Wet-dry vac
Wet-dry vacuum cleaners are best suited to garages and unfinished basements since they tend to spew fine dust out with the exhaust air if you don’t install an optional filter. They can come in handy for limited jobs in the home, such as clearing out a clogged sink, sucking up pet accidents, etc.
