Ladder safety
How to do it right when you have to work high off the ground.
Extension pole
Also known as extension handles, these tools help keep your feet on firm ground instead of on a shaky, wet ladder.
Wooden beams
Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.
Gutter, rain
Dirt streaks on gutter facings are hints that this job is overdue.
Awnings
Tread lightly while cleaning these sun screens.
Dry mopping
A cousin to dusting as it applies to hard flooring.

It’s best to follow instructions that came with the wallcovering. Read on if care tips can’t be found.
Wall, painted
First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.
Smoke alarm
Since the introduction of smoke detectors 40 years ago, deaths from residential fires have been cut in half. Here’s how to ensure maximum protection from your alarms.
Vacuum system, central
These powerful units offer many advantages over upright and canister vacuums.
Electrical cord
Cleaning is simple. While you're at it, perform this simple safety check.
Fire alarm
Professionally monitored systems are most often found in commercial settings.
Scuff mark
The best advice is “easy does it” when trying to remove scuff marks.
Toothbrush, old
Toothbrushes are re-usable for cleaning tasks. They’re gentle and effective.
Damp mopping
Used where lots of water could damage the floor or the subfloor.
Carbon monoxide alarm
Every home should have at least one CO detector.
Coffee maker
Keep it clean, and your coffee will taste noticeably better — guaranteed!
Radiator, baseboard (forced hot water)
Regular dusting and vacuuming will make them look better, and they’ll work better, too.
