Vent, heating and air conditioning
Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.
Vinegar
Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
Vinyl
Easy to clean and maintain, but don’t use strong solvents.
Vinyl flooring
These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.
Vomit
Remove as much as you can immediately and dilute with water, experts say. Then follow these tips.
Wall, painted
First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.
Water
This is the universal solvent for cleaning.
Water heater
These two simple tasks will help prevent costly plumbing services.
Water softener
A powder 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 sinks
Sinks and bowls for solid-surface and laminate countertop lines manufactured by Wilsonart® International Inc., Temple, TX.
Wilsonart® laminate
Countertops for kitchens, baths and other applications manufactured by Wilsonart International Inc., Temple, TX.
Wilsonart® flooring
A high-pressure laminate floor 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.
