  • Litter box

    Scoop daily for your cat’s health — and for the sake of your nose.
  • Lye

    Lye

    Be careful — as your nose has warned you already, this is a powerful and caustic substance.

  • MERV

    A standard for rating heating and air-conditioning filter efficiency.
  • Germs

    Microbes

    The scientific name for what many people call germs or bugs. Microbes contribute to foul smelling bathrooms, but also function as nature's cleaning agents.
  • Mold

    Mold

    The term is interchangeable with “mildew.” However, mold can be very destructive to the home itself.

  • Mud

    Spatters, spatters everywhere? Whatever you do, don’t spread them around.

  • Oven, continuous-cleaning

    Abrasive pads and harsh cleaning agents can degrade this oven’s ability to keep itself clean.
  • Oven

    Oven, convection

    Even if your oven “cleans” itself, some tasks still need to be done by hand.

  • Pets

    No question about it, pets can be a joy, but they will add to the housekeeping load.
  • PH

    pH

    Following is a quick lesson in the chemistry of cleaning.
  • Quartz

    Quartz surface

  • Quilt

    This is another cleaning challenge with no one-answer-fits-all solution.

  • Radiator heating system

    Cleaning is straightforward when you think safety first.

  • Range fan

    The hood has a removable filter that’s essential for reducing airborne grease.

  • Refrigerator interior

    Clean up all spills right away. Here’s how to do that occasional, thorough cleaning.
  • Rust

    Rust stain

    Do not reach for bleach - it will make this stain worse. Here is what to do.

  • Silk

    Your best bet? Read and follow the fabric-care label stitched into the garment.

  • Sink

    Whether in the kitchen or bath, a sink’s material — not location — determines the cleaning method.
  • Enamel Sink

    Sink, enameled metal

    Enamel is a tough, attractive finish, but it can be scratched or chipped.

  • Sink, porcelain

    Be gentle, since true porcelain cracks and scratches easily.
