Radiator, baseboard (forced hot water)
Regular dusting and vacuuming will make them look better, and they’ll work better, too.
Hi-Macs
An acrylic, solid-surface countertop for kitchens and baths manufactured by LG Solid Surface Inc., Peoria, Ariz.
CADR
Look for these numbers when comparing portable room air cleaners.
Fiberglass
Easy does it when cleaning. It’s all too easy to scratch this otherwise durable material.
Window
Where most people really need help is with large expanses of glass — this is where the streaks are.
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.
Fungicide
Mildew and mold are fungi. Bleach, borax, and other common chemicals effectively fight outbreaks.
Damp mopping
Used where lots of water could damage the floor or the subfloor.
Vacuum cleaner dust release
The best vacuums minimize the amount of dust released into the air.
Acetic acid
The main active ingredient in vinegar.
Gibraltar
A solid-surface kitchen and bath countertop line manufactured by Wilsonart® International Inc., Temple, Texas.
Vinyl flooring
These are frequently called “no-wax” floors, whether in sheet or tile form.
Microban®
It’s how advancing technology helps people keep bacteria at bay.
Mold
The term is interchangeable with “mildew.” However, mold can be very destructive to the home itself.
Automotive interior
That new-car appearance and smell won’t last forever. These tips will keep the ride pleasant for many years.
Soap
The old standby is mild enough for personal use, but doesn’t work too well in hard water.
Paint spot
Latex or oil-based? Either way, take action quickly before it dries into a permanent stain.
Room air conditioner
Cleaning this appliance is best done in autumn.
Humidity
What this term means for a clean, healthy home.
Upholstery
Vacuuming is your first line of defense against big cleaning hassles.
