    A clean mirror is a nice reflection on you!
  • Dander

    Control shedding where it starts – on your dog or cat – with regular brushing.

  • Acetone

    That bottle of nail-polish remover has more than just one purpose.
  • Ivory

    Flat panels are cleaned differently than the older CRT screens.

    No question about it, pets can be a joy, but they will add to the housekeeping load.
  • Acrylic fixture

    Clean gently without abrasives.
  • Silk

    Your best bet? Read and follow the fabric-care label stitched into the garment.
  • Inkjet printer

    The automatic cleaning cycle helps keep print heads clean, but other measures may also be needed.

  • Wool garment

    Take it to the dry cleaner unless care instructions say otherwise.
  • Residue

    Preventing this problem is why you’re frequently advised to rinse well.
  • Bronze

    An ancient alloy that might not need cleaning, after all.
