  • Vinegar

    Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
  • Vinyl Floors

    Vinyl flooring

    These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.

  • Wall, painted

    First, vacuum or dry-sponge walls. Wash if necessary with the following method.

  • Wallpaper

    It’s best to follow instructions that came with the wallcovering. Read on if care tips can’t be found.

  • Water

    This is the universal solvent for cleaning.

  • Water heater

    These two simple tasks will help prevent costly plumbing services.
  • Water Softener

    Water softener

    A water softening additive can help with laundering in hard water. There’s also a more permanent solution.

  • Wet (soak) mopping

    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.

  • White vinegar

    Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.

  • Wicking

    An explanation of how dirt can re-appear on a (supposedly) clean carpet or sofa.

  • Wilsonart flooring

    A high-pressure laminate floor manufactured by Wilsonart International Inc., Temple, TX.

  • Window

    Where most people really need help is with large expanses of glass — this is where the streaks are.

  • Window screens

    Take screens down to clean them. It’s a lot easier — and sometimes safer — than cleaning them in place.

  • Wooden beams

    Use a vacuum cleaner occasionally to keep ahead of dust, grime and cobwebs.

  • Wrought iron

    To save its appearance, all of the rust has to go first.

  • Yellowing

    It happens to both fabrics and hard flooring. Here’s how to deal with it.

  • Zircon

    A gemstone which occurs naturally in parts of Asia.
