  • Toxoplasmosis

    A concern for pregnant women and anyone with a weakened immune system.
  • Biological contaminants

    Keeping these at bay is the main point in a lot of cleaning tasks.
  • Dander

    Control shedding where it starts – on your dog or cat – with regular brushing.
  • Feces

    Anyone who owns a pet will confront this cleaning challenge sooner or later.
  • Litter box

    Scoop daily for your cat’s health — and for the sake of your nose.
  • Pets

    No question about it, pets can be a joy, but they will add to the housekeeping load.
  • Microbes

    The scientific name for what many people call germs or bugs. Microbes contribute to bad smelling bathrooms, but also function as nature's cleaning agents.
  • Excrement

    This isn’t a pleasant subject, but pets do have accidents. Here’s how to deal with it.
  • Anti-bacterial products

    The scientific debate continues over whether soaps, sprays and wipes may end up doing more harm than good.
  • Vomit

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

    It’s how advancing technology helps people keep bacteria at bay.
  • Pole scrubber

    Hands-and-knees cleaning got you down? Try this instead.
  • Skunk odor

    A tomato-juice bath isn’t as effective as this home remedy, several experts say.
  • Urine

    Act quickly to prevent this spot from drying and becoming a permanent problem.
  • Bed bugs

    You’ll need the services of a pest-control professional to eliminate an infestation.
  • 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.
  • Leaf blower

    These handy tools also make quick work of cleaning hard surfaces outdoors. Pay attention to safety, though.
  • Sponge

    Some cleaning tools need cleaning themselves. This is one.
  • Room air conditioner

    Cleaning this appliance is best done in autumn.
  • Fungus

    The kingdom to which molds and mildews belong.
