What to do when damp mopping no longer effectively cleans a vinyl, tile or sealed-stone floor.
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.

Window
Where most people really need help is with large expanses of glass — this is where the streaks are.
Window cleaner
Consumer Reports offers an inexpensive, homemade cleaning solution.
Window screens
Take screens down to clean them. It’s a lot easier — and sometimes safer — than cleaning them in place.
