Lead paint
If it’s in good shape, it just needs regular cleaning to avoid hazards.
Lint
It’s unavoidable, just like death and taxes. Here’s how to make it bearable.
Marble
Solid as a rock? Not quite, if it’s unsealed marble.
Microfiber mop
A relatively new material that removes soil by "hooking" it.
Mildew
It’s a persistent, worthy enemy of the healthy housekeeper.
Mirror
A clean mirror is a nice reflection on you!
Mold
The term is interchangeable with “mildew.” However, mold can be very destructive to the home itself.
N95 respirator
An essential tool used to protect people from hazardous fumes during certain jobs.
Non-stick cookware
Easy does it. Leave the gritty cleansers and rough pads to more demanding jobs.
Odor
Don’t cover up, clean up. Here’s how.
Oriental rug
This is another easy-does-it job. When in doubt, seek professional help.
Oven, continuous-cleaning
Abrasive pads and harsh cleaning agents can degrade this oven’s ability to keep itself clean.
Oven, convection
Even if your oven “cleans” itself, some tasks still need to be done by hand.
Oven, conventional
Clear winner of the Worst Job in the House Award.
Oven, self-cleaning
The self-cleaning cycle works by incinerating stuck-on food and grease at high temperatures.
Paint cleaning
Here’s the safe way to spot clean any painted surface.
Phosphates
Once widely used to soften water for use in washing machines, some makers have reduced use of these chemicals.
Plastic furniture
The garden hose is the easiest and best tool for routine cleanings.
Portable extractor
These machines are best for light cleanings. For tough jobs, call a professional.
Pressed wood
Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
