  • Vacuum system, central

    These powerful units offer many advantages over upright and canister vacuums.
  • Vacuuming

    Regular cleaning and proper technique will get you through this job quickly.
  • Ventilation

    Another word for “airing the place out,” ventilation is one of the top three ways to improve indoor air quality.
  • Vinyl

    Easy to clean and maintain, but don’t use strong solvents.
  • Vinyl flooring

    These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

    What they are, and how you can stay safe while using them.
  • Vomit

    Remove as much as you can immediately and dilute with water, experts say. Then follow these tips.
  • 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 softener

    A powder can help with laundering in hard water. There’s also a more permanent solution.
  • Wax, candle

  • Well-ventilated area

  • 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.
  • Wicking

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

    Sinks and bowls for solid-surface and laminate countertop lines manufactured by Wilsonart® International Inc., Temple, TX.
  • Wilsonart® laminate

    Countertops for kitchens, baths and other applications 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 cleaner

    Consumer Reports offers an inexpensive, homemade cleaning solution.
