  • Sodium metasilicate

    This highly effective cleaner is a phosphate-free substitute for trisodium phosphate.
  • Carbon Monoxide

    Carbon monoxide

    You can’t see it, smell it or taste it, but that doesn’t make it any less deadly.
  • Flooring

    Flooring

    Formal floor covering over a subfloor, which can include carpet, hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile.

  • 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.

  • Pole scrubber

    Hands-and-knees cleaning got you down? Try this instead.
  • Air Cleaner

    Air cleaner

    There are several different types, but these useful appliances are no substitute for good cleaning and other preventive measures.
  • Concrete

    Concrete floor

    Seal these floors, and you’ll simplify this cleaning hassle once and for all.

  • Trisodium phosphate (TSP)

    An old standby that is still useful for cleaning walls and other surfaces.

  • Humidifier, portable

    It helps if you hang onto the instructions. Here’s what to do if you can’t find them.
  • Baking Soda

    Baking soda

    This mild abrasive is also a decent deodorizer.
  • Duct Cleaning

    Duct

    These metal conduits distribute heated or cooled air from a furnace or central air conditioner. No one’s sure whether they need regular professional cleaning.
  • Indoor Environment

    Environmental agents

    Environmental agents are conditions such as humidity extremes, drafts, lack of ventilation, and overcrowding that cause stress, discomfort, or health problems.
  • Mold

    Mold

    The term is interchangeable with “mildew.” However, mold can be very destructive to the home itself.

  • Surfactant

    It makes water wetter!
  • Absorbents

    Absorbents

    Granular substances that soak up stains and spills.
  • Grease

    Grease, airborne

    Prevention is at least as important as cleaning here.
  • Central Air

    Central air conditioner

    Keep components clean — you'll reduce dust and save energy.
  • R-Value

    R-value

    An R-value indicates an insulation's resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness.
  • Grout

    Grout brush

    The best tool for cleaning grouted tile.

  • Soap

    The old standby is mild enough for personal use, but doesn’t work too well in hard water.
