  • Vinyl

    Easy to clean and maintain, but don’t use strong solvents.
  • Vinyl Floors

    Vinyl flooring

    These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.

  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

    What they are, and how you can stay safe while using them.

  • Vomit

    Remove as much as you can immediately and dilute with water. Then follow these tips.

  • 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.

  • Wax, candle

    Successful removal depends on the surface.

  • Well-ventilated area

    Another term you’ll see frequently in HC-Pedia. What do we mean?

  • 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.

  • Wicking

    An explanation of how dirt can re-appear on a (supposedly) clean carpet or sofa.

  • Wilsonart laminate

    Countertops for kitchens, baths and other applications manufactured by Wilsonart International Inc., Temple, TX.
  • Wilsonart

    Wilsonart sinks

    Sinks and bowls for solid-surface and laminate countertop lines manufactured by Wilsonart® International Inc., Temple, TX.

  • Window

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

  • Window screens

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

  • 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.
