  • Wall, painted

    First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.

  • Wallpaper

    It’s best to follow instructions that came with the wallcovering. Read on if care tips can’t be found.

  • Water

    This is the universal solvent for cleaning.
  • Water Softener

    Water softener

    A water softening additive can help with laundering in hard water. There’s also a more permanent solution.

  • Well-ventilated area

  • Wet (soak) mopping

    What to do when damp mopping no longer effectively cleans a vinyl, tile or sealed-stone floor.

  • 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.

  • White vinegar

    Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.

    Where most people really need help is with large expanses of glass — this is where the streaks are.

  • Window cleaner

    Consumer Reports offers an inexpensive, homemade cleaning solution.

  • Window screens

    Take screens down to clean them. It’s a lot easier — and sometimes safer — than cleaning them in place.
  • Wood Paneling

    Wood paneling

    Cleaning is a snap on permanent finishes. Waxed or unfinished wood needs special care.

  • Wooden beams

    Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.
  • Wool

    Wool garment

    Take it to the dry cleaner unless care instructions say otherwise.

  • Zircon

    A gemstone which occurs naturally in parts of Asia.
