  • Water

    This is the universal solvent for cleaning.
  • Pressed wood

    Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
  • Phosphates

    Once widely used to soften water for use in washing machines, some makers have reduced use of these chemicals.
  • Dry sponge

    Removes dirt where you can't use liquids.
  • Fungicide

    Mildew and mold are fungi. Bleach, borax, and other common chemicals effectively fight outbreaks.
  • Gas grill

    These patio appliances need occasional safety checks to ensure an enjoyable summer.
  • Blender

    Separate the parts, and clean this kitchen appliance easily.
  • Rinse

    This step in the cleaning process has the biggest impact on final results.
  • Blinds, vertical

    Introducing a handy tool for making quick work of this task.
  • 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.
  • Laminate floor

    These pre-finished surfaces are easily maintained by sweeping or vacuuming, and damp mopping. Avoid going overboard with cleaners and polishes.
  • Radiator, baseboard (electric)

    For safety’s sake, cut power to these units before cleaning them.
  • Glassware

    Another straightforward task, but be careful with crystal and other fine glasses.
  • Blinds, window

    How to be proud of their appearance again, the easy way.
  • Damp mopping

    Used where lots of water could damage the floor or the subfloor.
  • Dilution

    Proper dilution is key to making cleaning concentrates work best, but how do you figure out those ratios?
  • Absorbents

    Granular substances that help clean up stains and spills without solvents or chemicals.
  • Bathtub

    Enamel or plastic? Know before you clean.
  • Baskets

    A tisket, a tasket ... here's how to clean your basket.
  • Lampshade

    Cloth shades should be cleaned carefully with dry methods. Spot clean with wet methods only when absolutely necessary.
