Ammonia
Another fine degreaser, but watch that smell!
Computer monitor
Flat panels are cleaned differently than the older CRT screens.
Hairbrush
Simply comb clean, then soak, scrub with a small discarded toothbrush and rinse.
Brick, interior (untreated)
This porous surface can be cleaned using the right methods.
Plastic case, electronic
More and more electronic appliances are housed in this material. Cleaning is easy.
Well-ventilated area
Another term you’ll see frequently in HC-Pedia. What do we mean?
Knick-knack
Postpone cleaning — Display ‘em behind glass.
Brick, exterior
Do these things if your chimney really needs cleaning.
Leaf blower
These handy tools also make quick work of cleaning hard surfaces outdoors. Pay attention to safety, though.
Fireplace ash
Clean the hearth first, before cleaning the rest of the room. Patience is a virtue!
Sink
Whether in the kitchen or bath, a sink’s material — not location — determines the cleaning method.
Paint spot
Latex or oil-based? Either way, take action quickly before it dries into a permanent stain.
Pre-finished floor
Sweep or vacuum the floor at least weekly.
Household Prod. Database
Interested in green cleaning? Chemical safety? The Household Products Database (HPD) can be a good place to look for information.
Excrement
This isn’t a pleasant subject, but pets do have accidents. Here’s how to deal with it.
Feces
Anyone who owns a pet will confront this cleaning challenge sooner or later.
Dust mites
You can’t see them, but they can cause allergies and other respiratory problems.
Comforter
Care is fairly easy for inexpensive comforters. Protect expensive down comforters with a duvet cover.
Deck
They need a physical exam yearly, just like you do.
Hardwood floor
Sweep or vacuum often, and clean with minimal water.
