Fireplace ash
Clean the hearth first, before cleaning the rest of the room. Patience is a virtue!
Charcoal grill
Maintenance is easy, even though ashes must be discarded after every use.
Ashtray
A mess that's pretty easy to clean up quickly.
Oven, self-cleaning
The self-cleaning cycle works by incinerating stuck-on food and grease at high temperatures.
Chimney
For most people, this is not a do-it-yourself cleaning task.
Drain
Homeowners can resolve many problems before calling a professional.
Barbecue grill
We’ve listed these patio appliances as separate entries by fuel type.
Skunk odor
A tomato-juice bath isn’t as effective as this home remedy, several experts say.
Biodegradable
A substance is biodegradable when natural biological decay processes can break it down into simple molecules.
Freezer
Defrosting is another cleaning task that helps to save energy.
Enamel, enameled surface
It’s a durable finish, but it’s not indestructible.
Sink, enameled metal
Enamel is a tough, attractive finish, but it can be scratched or chipped.
Carbon monoxide
You can’t see it, smell it or taste it, but that doesn’t make it any less deadly.
Blinds, window
How to be proud of their appearance again, the easy way.
Gutter, rain
Dirt streaks on gutter facings are hints that this job is overdue.
Rubbing alcohol
An inexpensive, highly useful household solvent. Use carefully — it’s flammable.
Grease, airborne
Prevention is at least as important as cleaning here.
Oven, convection
Even if your oven “cleans” itself, some tasks still need to be done by hand.
Vent, heating and air conditioning
Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.
Fungicide
Mildew and mold are fungi. Bleach, borax, and other common chemicals effectively fight outbreaks.
