  • Vacuum cleaner maintenance

    A well-maintained machine is a real timesaver.

  • Vacuum filtration

    Keeping the dust inside your vacuum.

  • Vacuum system, central

    These powerful units offer many advantages over upright and canister vacuums.

  • Vacuuming

    Regular cleaning and proper technique will get you through this job quickly.

  • Vent, heating and air conditioning

    Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.

  • 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.

  • Vinegar

    Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.

  • Wall, painted

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

  • Water heater

    These two simple tasks will help prevent costly plumbing services.
  • Water Softener

    Water softener

    A water softening additive can help with laundering in hard water. There’s also a more permanent solution.

  • Well-ventilated area

    Another term you’ll see frequently in HC-Pedia. What do we mean?

  • 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.

  • White vinegar

    Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.

  • Wicking

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

  • Window screens

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

  • 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.
