It’s how advancing technology helps people keep bacteria at bay.
Water
This is the universal solvent for cleaning.
Cattle tracks
These paths aren’t caused by livestock.
Silk houseplants
Plastics clean easily. Check for colorfastness before cleaning fabric plants with water.
Degreaser
A wide range of cleaning liquids, from mild to caustic.
Bathtub ring
An easy way to keep a yucky problem at bay.
Air cleaner
There are several different types, but these useful appliances are no substitute for good cleaning and other preventive measures.
Automotive exterior
Vehicle paint is another durable, yet easily scratched surface.
Mop, mopping
A guide to the best tools and techniques for keeping many hard floor surfaces sparkling.
Mattress

Shower curtain
The best way to clean a vinyl, polyester or cotton shower curtain, plus the skinny on shower rods and curtain rings.
Rinse
This step in the cleaning process has the biggest impact on final results.
Sink, enameled metal
Enamel is a tough, attractive finish, but it can be scratched or chipped.
Fiberglass
Easy does it when cleaning. It’s all too easy to scratch this otherwise durable material.
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.
Laminate floor
These pre-finished surfaces are easily maintained by sweeping or vacuuming, and damp mopping. Avoid going overboard with cleaners and polishes.
Biofilm
More than just gross, that slime is a bacterial fortress.
Blot, blotting
Blotting isn't rubbing or scrubbing. Here's how it's done, from routine maintenance to emergency care.
Asbestos
What it is, and what to do — and not do — about it.
Leaf blower
These handy tools also make quick work of cleaning hard surfaces outdoors. Pay attention to safety, though.
