Paint cleaning
Here’s the safe way to spot clean any painted surface.
Formica®
Sharp objects and harsh chemicals will damage this widely used surface permanently.
Damp mopping
Used where lots of water could damage the floor or the subfloor.
Toothbrush, old
Toothbrushes are re-usable for cleaning tasks. They’re gentle and effective.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
What they are, and how you can stay safe while using them.
Vinyl
Easy to clean and maintain, but don’t use strong solvents.
Window screens
Take screens down to clean them. It’s a lot easier — and sometimes safer — than cleaning them in place.
Butcher block
A place where cleanliness really helps keep the family healthy.
Computer monitor
Flat panels are cleaned differently than the older CRT screens.
Boots
They'll last a long time with proper care.
Vent, heating and air conditioning
Regular vacuuming is a must. Here are some other tips.
Wallpaper
It’s best to follow instructions that came with the wallcovering. Read on if care tips can’t be found.
Yellowing
It happens to both fabrics and hard flooring. Here’s how to deal with it.
Odor
Don’t cover up, clean up. Here’s how.
Dilution
Proper dilution is key to making cleaning concentrates work best, but how do you figure out those ratios?
Acrylic fixture
Stash the abrasive cleaners elsewhere. Abrasives will damage this plastic material.
Iron skillet
Here’s one instance where lots of scrubbing can actually be harmful. Do it the easy way!
Driveway
Sweep and spray to remove dirt. Also, the right way to soak out oil stains.
Floor Care: No Wax Floor
Not so fast with the finishing polish or wax! Do this first.
Bed bugs
You’ll need the services of a pest-control professional to eliminate an infestation.
