  • Upholstery

    Vacuuming is your first line of defense against big cleaning hassles.
  • Urine

    Act quickly to prevent this spot from drying and becoming a permanent problem.
  • Vacuum cleaner soil removal

    How much soil do the best vacuum cleaners remove from carpet? The answers might surprise you.
  • Wall, painted

    First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.
  • Wallpaper

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

    This is the universal solvent for cleaning.
  • 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 cleaner

    Consumer Reports offers an inexpensive, homemade cleaning solution.
  • Window screens

    Take screens down to clean them. It’s a lot easier — and sometimes safer — than cleaning them in place.
  • Wood paneling

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

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

    X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is a fast, highly accurate method for analyzing the soil removal capability of cleaning products such as vacuum cleaners.
  • Yellowing

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