  • Mineral scale

    That white or beige crust is coming from your tap water.
  • White vinegar

    Think of it as an inexpensive mineral scale remover. It's not the best solution for most cleaning situations.
  • Vinegar

    Not an all-purpose cleaner, though it does have several effective uses around the house.
  • Acetic acid

    The main active ingredient in vinegar.
  • De-scaler

    These products help remove crusty scale from plumbing fixtures and other surfaces.
  • Rust Remover, Plumbing

    These products help remove crusty scale from porcelain fixtures and other surfaces.
  • Stainless steel

    Its name refers to rust and stain resistance, but it’s not stain-proof. Here’s how to deal with everyday blemishes.
  • Acid

    It's helpful — and hazardous — at the same time.
  • Bathtub ring

    An easy way to keep a yucky problem at bay.
  • pH

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

    Water chemistry has an important bearing on many cleaning tasks.
  • Chelating agent

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

    Regular, thorough cleanings will make this job much easier.
  • Water softener

    A powder can help with laundering in hard water. There’s also a more permanent solution.
  • Iron, clothes

    A little maintenance goes a long way with this appliance.
  • Humidifier, portable

    It helps if you hang onto the instructions. Here’s what to do if you can’t find them.
  • Rust stain

    Don’t reach for bleach — it will make this stain worse. Here’s what to do.
  • Coffee maker

    Keep it clean, and your coffee will taste noticeably better — guaranteed!
  • Shower stall

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

    Whether in the kitchen or bath, a sink’s material — not location — determines the cleaning method.
