Tips for Preventing Mold Growth in Your Office
There's a certain bandit in town who visits offices but only steals the walls: mold. Every office that has ceiling leaks or other wet areas is susceptible to mold growth. The resulting damage from mold can be severe, especially if the walls are made of wood or paper materials.

Spring Cleaning Tips: Specialty Mattress Protector Exterminates Dust Mites
As spring arrives and we let the fresh air in, it may be dismaying to learn that millions of tiny bugs called dust mites are living active, productive lives inside all of our mattresses and pillows. They feed on hair and dead skin cells that we shed through out the night. Conscientious housekeepers in particular would be aghast to learn that millions of oval shaped, eight-legged organisms, hatching, growing, eating, defecating, mating, laying eggs, and dying inside our beds.

For many, the need to clean the house is met with procrastination, complaints and excuses. And who can argue? Cleaning can be a dirty, time-consuming job, after all.

Don't Let Household Pet Odors Spoil Your Winter Wonderland
Winter comes with a unique set of special aromas: pine needles, wood burning in the fireplace, hot apple cider with cinnamon, freshly baked treats. But all too often, with doors and windows closed, those wonderful scents are blunted or masked by household pet odors. Plus, the smells are continually recirculated by the furnace vents and build up to unpleasant levels that greet your guests at the front door.

Father Knows Best: The Story of an Inventor
They say necessity is the mother of invention. In at least one notable case, it served as motivation for a resourceful father as well. After the birth of his first child in 2000, inventor and entrepreneur Mark Rosenzweig was inspired to find a better way to clean up the inevitable messes of parenthood. His quest led to the introduction of some of the most innovative devices in the home-cleaning industry and the building of Shark Euro-Pro, a $350 million company.

How to Reduce Cleaning Time and Dust in Your Home
ACNielsen U.S. recently reported that nearly two-thirds of all heads of households are constantly looking for faster ways to do household chores. In today's busy world of hectic schedules and time-consuming obligations, frequent cleaning can be a burden and oftentimes may be overlooked.

How to Make Cleaning Up Life’s Little Messes Easier
If you had to venture a guess, which room in the house would you consider the dirtiest? Most people would probably say the bathroom, but according to a recent study by the Lysol Corporation, it actually comes in second. The dubious distinction goes to the place where you prepare food for your family -- the kitchen. In fact, the study found there are more bacteria in the kitchen sink after dishes have been washed than there are in the typical toilet.

In today's hectic world, it's not uncommon for a woman to bring home the bacon, fry it in a pan and clean that pan, too-as well as the crumbs on the countertops, the dust on the lampshades and the dirt on the carpet. According to a recent study in the Journal of Marriage and Family, women today say they do 67 percent of all housework.

The amenities of home aren't just popular with people. In fact, the number-one "nuisance pest" in the U.S. enters homes because that's where food and water are. The pests are ants, and experts say no matter how your home is constructed, where it's located or how old it is, it could be invaded by them. Homeowners and party hosts know this all too well-scurrying around to buy ant traps and over-the-counter bug sprays before guests arrive at parties, BBQs and get-togethers.

Most homeowners don't realize garbage disposals require routine cleaning. In fact, the majority of people only think about cleaning their disposal when they smell an unpleasant odor.
