  • Cattle tracks

    These paths aren’t caused by livestock.
  • Silk houseplants

    Plastics clean easily. Check for colorfastness before cleaning fabric plants with water.
  • Automotive exterior

    Vehicle paint is another durable, yet easily scratched surface.
  • Mop, mopping

    A guide to the best tools and techniques for keeping many hard floor surfaces sparkling.
  • Mattress

    Turn and vacuum twice a year for better sleep — and better health.
  • Shower stall

    Preventing the buildup of soap scum and water deposits is a lot easier than removal later.
  • Rinse

    This step in the cleaning process has the biggest impact on final results.
  • Sink, enameled metal

    Enamel is a tough, attractive finish, but it can be scratched or chipped.
  • Window

    Where most people really need help is with large expanses of glass — this is where the streaks are.
  • Fiberglass

    Easy does it when cleaning. It’s all too easy to scratch this otherwise durable material.
  • Grout

    It’s a pesky cleaning problem. Here’s a tip for making it less of a drag in the future.
  • 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.
  • Laminate floor

    These pre-finished surfaces are easily maintained by sweeping or vacuuming, and damp mopping. Avoid going overboard with cleaners and polishes.
  • Blot, blotting

    Blotting isn't rubbing or scrubbing. Here's how it's done, from routine maintenance to emergency care.
  • Asbestos

    What it is, and what to do — and not do — about it.
  • Leaf blower

    These handy tools also make quick work of cleaning hard surfaces outdoors. Pay attention to safety, though.
  • Iron skillet

    Here’s one instance where lots of scrubbing can actually be harmful. Do it the easy way!
  • Fungicide

    Mildew and mold are fungi. Bleach, borax, and other common chemicals effectively fight outbreaks.
  • Knick-knack

    Postpone cleaning — Display ‘em behind glass.
  • Houseplants

    Dusting and rinsing are the answers.
