From furniture to countertops, walls to stairways, wood is probably the most common material in our homes. But this well-known material is all too often abused by daily wear and tear, and even by housecleaning products. If you want to keep the wood surfaces in your home clean and beautiful without damage, you need to consider the kind of wood and the treatment it's received. Here are some tips for cleaning and preserving wood surfaces.General Cleaning for Wood Furniture and PanelingOne of the first rules of cleaning wood is this: never soak it with water. Wood is porous, and applying water will swell the pores. Water can also damage many types of finishes-most of us have a table or desk with tell-tale rings on them left by wet cups. While dusting with a barely-damp cloth shouldn't harm painted wood surfaces, any application of water to oiled, lacquered, or unfinished wood is likely to leave permanent, disfiguring marks. Opt instead for a dry dusting cloth, or use the dusting attachment on your vacuum cleaner to keep wood furniture and paneling clean. Clean Wood With VinegarIt isn't a good idea to clean wood with pure, undiluted vinegar-in addition to leaving water marks, the acid...more

Pressure washers are often the cleaning machine of choice when it comes to tackling really tough cleaning jobs. Unlike steam cleaners which tackle dirt by dissolving them from the surface, pressure washers take a much stronger approach. They literally blast stains and sedimentation from the surface - this makes them an ideal tool for cleaning projects in commercial and industrial areas. But before you invest in one, it's important to understand why investing in the right kind of pressure washer is so important. Pressure washers are one of the few cleaning machines that can really make a dent in an industrial cleaning situation. The reason for this is simple - most industrial units have unique and difficult cleaning needs. Apart from the ordinary dust and dirt these places face on a daily basis, these areas also have to deal with industrial stains and deposits made from a variety of different materials. Ordinary grime deposits can be difficult enough to handle; but, add some industrial debris and grease to that grimy sediment and you have a very tough cleaning job on your hands. To make matters worse, a number of these residues tend to solidify, making them even harder to remove....more
