Cellulosic Browning
Brownish discoloration on a carpet or rug after cleaning may be cellulosic browning.
CRI
An acronym for the Carpet and Rug Institute, an industry association.
Portable extractor
These machines are best for light cleanings. For tough jobs, call a professional.
Oil spill
Act quickly, or these spots can be a real nightmare to clean.
Backpack vacuum cleaner
Pros use this machine all day, avoiding back strain and repetitive stress injury.
Truck-mounted extractor
These are the dirt-busting powerhouses of carpet cleaning.
Edge cleaning
Carpets and floors next to walls aren’t daunting to clean. Here’s why.
Laminate floor
These pre-finished surfaces are easily maintained by sweeping or vacuuming, and damp mopping. Avoid going overboard with cleaners and polishes.
Mattress
Turn and vacuum twice a year for better sleep — and better health.
Rug, area
These efficient dirt collectors need regular cleaning to stay in good shape.
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.
Pets
No question about it, pets can be a joy, but they will add to the housekeeping load.
XRF
X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology is a fast, highly accurate method for analyzing the soil removal capability of cleaning products such as vacuum cleaners.

Pressed wood
Vacuuming is the best way to dust this porous surface.
Hair dryer
As with all electrical appliances, always unplug, and never get the insides wet.
Litter box
Scoop daily for your cat’s health — and for the sake of your nose.
Lead paint
If it’s in good shape, it just needs regular cleaning to avoid hazards.
High traffic area
Flooring that gets the most foot traffic needs extra attention.
Dry mopping
A cousin to dusting as it applies to hard flooring.
