  • Paint spot

    Latex or oil-based? Either way, take action quickly before it dries into a permanent stain.
  • Knives

    Keep cutlery out of the dishwasher.
  • Soap

    The old standby is mild enough for personal use, but doesn’t work too well in hard water.
  • Wallpaper

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

    Vacuuming is your first line of defense against big cleaning hassles.
  • Microban®

    It’s how advancing technology helps people keep bacteria at bay.
  • Microfiber mop

    A relatively new material that removes soil by "hooking" it.
  • Hydrogen peroxide

    The pharmacy antiseptic makes a good, inexpensive spotting agent because of its mild bleaching action. It's also an effective germ-killing agent.
  • Grout brush

    The best tool for cleaning grouted tile.
  • Silk houseplants

    Plastics clean easily. Check for colorfastness before cleaning fabric plants with water.
  • Shower curtain

    The best way to clean a vinyl, polyester or cotton shower curtain, plus the skinny on shower rods and curtain rings.
  • Computer tower

    Dusting reduces buildup on sensitive components inside the case.
  • Blinds, vertical

    Introducing a handy tool for making quick work of this task.
  • Humidifier, whole house

    Basic tips follow on keeping your unit in tip-top shape. Don’t have one? You might not need it after all.
  • 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.
  • Lint

    It’s unavoidable, just like death and taxes. Here’s how to make it bearable.
  • Odor

    Don’t cover up, clean up. Here’s how.
  • Awnings

    Tread lightly while cleaning these sun screens.
  • Wool garment

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

    Carpets and floors next to walls aren’t daunting to clean. Here’s why.
