    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.

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

    These are the dirt-busting powerhouses of carpet cleaning.
