  • Lead paint

    If it’s in good shape, it just needs regular cleaning to avoid hazards.
  • HEPA

    A term relating to filter effectiveness. HEPA filtration removes 99.97 percent of all particles 0.3 microns and larger.
  • Radiator, baseboard (electric)

    For safety’s sake, cut power to these units before cleaning them.
  • Radiator, steam (upright)

    These are the simplest, safest type of radiator to keep clean.
  • Automotive exterior

    Vehicle paint is another durable, yet easily scratched surface.
  • Ladder safety

    How to do it right when you have to work high off the ground.
  • Concrete floor

    Seal these floors, and you’ll simplify this cleaning hassle once and for all.
  • Microfiber mop

    A relatively new material that removes soil by "hooking" it.
  • Pressed wood

    Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
  • 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.
  • Broom

    Old-style corn brooms are much harder to use than their modern counterparts.
  • 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.
