Umbrella
The two kinds of umbrellas need different care, according to the experts.
Upholstery
Vacuuming is your first line of defense against big cleaning hassles.
Urine
Act quickly to prevent this spot from drying and becoming a permanent problem.
Vacuum cleaner
Which style is best? Choose on personal preference and the jobs at hand.
Vacuum cleaner maintenance
A well-maintained machine is a real timesaver.
Vacuum system, central
These powerful units offer many advantages over upright and canister vacuums.
Vent, heating and air conditioning
Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.
Videocassette recorder (VCR)
Fighting back against dust is a priority with this electronic component.
Videotape cassette
Dusting videocassettes keeps the inside of your VCR cleaner.
Vinegar
Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
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 heater
These two simple tasks will help prevent costly plumbing services.
Water softener
A powder 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.
