Spills, spots
A guide to the best ways of preventing stains on floors, rugs, carpet and upholstery.
Iron, clothes
A little maintenance goes a long way with this appliance.
Vinegar
Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
Floor Care: No Wax Floor
Not so fast with the finishing polish or wax! Do this first.
White vinegar
Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.
Acetic acid
The main active ingredient in vinegar.
Wool garment
Take it to the dry cleaner unless care instructions say otherwise.
Abrasive (scouring) cleaners
They're great aids in everyday chores, but be careful — don't cause damage that can only complicate future cleaning.
Haitian cotton
Cleaning this natural-look upholstery fabric is a real challenge, even for professionals.
Blood
A not-so-fearsome stain — if it gets immediate attention.
Fireplace ash
Clean the hearth first, before cleaning the rest of the room. Patience is a virtue!
Videocassette recorder (VCR)
Fighting back against dust is a priority with this electronic component.
Bathtub
Enamel or plastic? Know before you clean.
Ink spot
Fast action can prevent spots from becoming permanent stains.
Electrical cord
Cleaning is simple. While you're at it, perform this simple safety check.
Knives
Keep cutlery out of the dishwasher.
Lampshade
Cloth shades should be cleaned carefully with dry methods. Spot clean with wet methods only when absolutely necessary.
Freezer
Defrosting is another cleaning task that helps to save energy.
Acrylic fixture
Stash the abrasive cleaners elsewhere. Abrasives will damage this plastic material.
Wood paneling
Cleaning is a snap on permanent finishes. Waxed or unfinished wood needs special care.
