  • Dander

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

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

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

    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.

  • Pre-finished floor

    Sweep or vacuum the floor at least weekly.
  • Vacuum cleaner

    Which style is best? Choose on personal preference and the jobs at hand.
  • Absorbents

    Granular substances that help clean up stains and spills without solvents or chemicals.
  • Rust stain

    Don’t reach for bleach — it will make this stain worse. Here’s what to do.

    An acrylic, solid-surface countertop for kitchens and baths manufactured by LG Solid Surface Inc., Peoria, Ariz.
