  • Hard water

    Water chemistry has an important bearing on many cleaning tasks.
  • Fabric filter

    Any fabric that captures dust particles from a stream of moving air.
  • Chelating agent

    A "builder" that gets dissolved minerals out of the way of laundry detergent.
  • Biodegradable

    A substance is biodegradable when natural biological decay processes can break it down into simple molecules.

  • Laminate countertop

    Cleanup is a snap, but be careful to prevent surface damage.

    What to do when damp mopping no longer effectively cleans a vinyl, tile or sealed-stone floor.
  • Blinds, window

  • Damp mopping

    Used where lots of water could damage the floor or the subfloor.
  • Automotive exterior

  • Detergent

    A cleaning agent that, unlike traditional soap, works well in hard water.
  • Pressed wood

    Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
  • Bathroom

    It's easier and quicker than you think if done regularly.
  • 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.
  • Concrete floor

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