Abrasive (scouring) cleaners
They're great aids in everyday chores, but be careful — don't cause damage that can only complicate future cleaning.
Vinegar
Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
Concrete floor
Seal these floors, and you’ll simplify this cleaning hassle once and for all.
White vinegar
Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.
Ammonia
Another fine degreaser, but watch that smell!
Hydrogen peroxide
The pharmacy antiseptic makes a good, inexpensive spotting agent because of its mild bleaching action. It's also an effective germ-killing agent.
Radon
Why you should care about this odorless and colorless gas — and what you can do about it.
Pressed wood
Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
Upholstery
Vacuuming is your first line of defense against big cleaning hassles.
Stainmaster
Since 2004, this former Dupont trademark name for carpet fiber has been owned by Invista of Wichita, KS, a division of Koch Industries, Inc.
Wax, candle
Successful removal depends on the surface.
Iron, clothes
A little maintenance goes a long way with this appliance.
Toilet cleaners
Some thoughts on different products for easing this task.
Houseplants
Dusting and rinsing are the answers.
Awnings
Tread lightly while cleaning these sun screens.
Well-ventilated area
Another term you’ll see frequently in HC-Pedia. What do we mean?
Sodium metasilicate
This highly effective cleaner is a phosphate-free substitute for trisodium phosphate.
XRF
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is a fast, highly accurate method for analyzing the soil removal capability of cleaning products such as vacuum cleaners.
Vinyl flooring
These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.
Carpet
Vacuum often to maintain appearance and long life.
