Dust mites
You can’t see them, but they can cause allergies and other respiratory problems.
Allergen slipcover
These bedding accessories are a must for people with severe asthma or allergic sensitivity to dust mites.
Edge cleaning
Carpets and floors next to walls aren’t daunting to clean. Here’s why.
Vacuuming
Regular cleaning and proper technique will get you through this job quickly.
Humidifier, portable
It helps if you hang onto the instructions. Here’s what to do if you can’t find them.
Laminate floor
These pre-finished surfaces are easily maintained by sweeping or vacuuming, and damp mopping. Avoid going overboard with cleaners and polishes.
Air cleaner
There are several different types, but these useful appliances are no substitute for good cleaning and other preventive measures.
Dry mopping
A cousin to dusting as it applies to hard flooring.
Backpack vacuum cleaner
Pros use this machine all day, avoiding back strain and repetitive stress injury.
Vacuum system, central
These powerful units offer many advantages over upright and canister vacuums.
Vacuum cleaner maintenance
A well-maintained machine is a real timesaver.
Mattress
Turn and vacuum twice a year for better sleep — and better health.
Rug, area
These efficient dirt collectors need regular cleaning to stay in good shape.
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.
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.
Pressed wood
Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
Vacuum cleaner dust release
The best vacuums minimize the amount of dust released into the air.
Juice spill
Even ugly blotches will come out completely using the right methods.
Dander
Control shedding where it starts – on your dog or cat – with regular brushing.
High traffic area
Flooring that gets the most foot traffic needs extra attention.
