  • Alkalies

    Best for removing grease and oil.
  • Protective gloves

    We use this term often in describing how to perform various cleaning tasks safely. Here’s what it means.
  • Rubber gloves

    Some jobs require greater hand protection than others.
  • Lye

    Be careful — as your nose has warned you already, this is a powerful and caustic substance.
  • pH

    Following is a quick lesson in the chemistry of cleaning.
  • Grease

    Scrubbing won’t get rid of it. Here’s the easy way.
  • Grease, airborne

    Prevention is at least as important as cleaning here.
  • Dishwasher detergent

    A product that belongs in the machine, not on your hands.
  • Chlorine bleach

    This laundry aid is also an effective disinfectant, but be careful.
  • Ammonia

    Another fine degreaser, but watch that smell!
  • Range fan

    The hood has a removable filter that’s essential for reducing airborne grease.
  • Well-ventilated area

    Another term you’ll see frequently in HC-Pedia. What do we mean?
  • N95 respirator

    An essential tool used to protect people from hazardous fumes during certain jobs.
  • Degreaser

    A wide range of cleaning liquids, from mild to caustic.
  • Computer monitor

    Flat panels are cleaned differently than the older CRT screens.
  • Formica®

    Sharp objects and harsh chemicals will damage this widely used surface permanently.
  • Plexiglass

    You may not want to use even paper towels for this cleaning task.
  • Wilsonart® laminate

    Countertops for kitchens, baths and other applications manufactured by Wilsonart International Inc., Temple, TX.
  • Bathtub

    Enamel or plastic? Know before you clean.
  • Heater, portable

    If it has a plug, make sure it’s nowhere near an outlet before cleaning.
