Label removal
Think before you reach for the blade or scraper.
Alcohol
A solvent, degreaser and adhesive remover with many uses.
Denatured alcohol
This solvent is a capable spot cleaner on many hard surfaces.
Mirror
A clean mirror is a nice reflection on you!
Rubbing alcohol
An inexpensive, highly useful household solvent. Use carefully — it’s flammable.
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.
Telephone
Fingerprints and grime come off these hard-plastic appliances easily.
Ivory
If you have a genuine ivory heirloom, clean it with care. Plastic is easier to maintain and doesn't endanger wildlife.
Window cleaner
Consumer Reports offers an inexpensive, homemade cleaning solution.
Acrylic fixture
Stash the abrasive cleaners elsewhere. Abrasives will damage this plastic material.
Pets
No question about it, pets can be a joy, but they will add to the housekeeping load.
Silk
Your best bet? Read and follow the fabric-care label stitched into the garment.
Brass
Many brass objects have been coated with lacquer to help maintain the shine. Avoid using abrasive pads or cleaners, since abrasion will remove the lacquer.
Computer monitor
Flat panels are cleaned differently than the older CRT screens.
Inkjet printer
The automatic cleaning cycle helps keep print heads clean, but other measures may also be needed.
Bronze
An ancient alloy that might not need cleaning, after all.
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.
Plastic case, electronic
More and more electronic appliances are housed in this material. Cleaning is easy.
