  • Ventilation

    Another word for “airing the place out,” ventilation is one of the top three ways to improve indoor air quality.
  • Video Players

    Videocassette recorder (VCR)

    Though DVDs and Blu-Rays have largely replaced VCRs, many folks still have their video recorders/players and tape collections to maintain.

  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

    What they are, and how you can stay safe while using them.

  • Wallpaper

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

  • Water heater

    These two simple tasks will help prevent costly plumbing services.

  • 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.

  • Wicking

    An explanation of how dirt can re-appear on a (supposedly) clean carpet or sofa.

  • 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.
  • Wood Paneling

    Wood paneling

    Cleaning is a snap on permanent finishes. Waxed or unfinished wood needs special care.

  • Wooden beams

    Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.

  • Wrought iron

    To save its appearance, all of the rust has to go first.

  • Yellowing

    It happens to both fabrics and hard flooring. Here’s how to deal with it.
