About

How To Clean It publishes practical guides for cleaning a home: floors, kitchens, grills, metals, fabrics, and the outdoor pieces that live in the weather. The site is a reference, not a cleaning service and not a store.

The guides were rewritten on October 15, 2026. Older pages that repeated the same job, or that used a different design from an earlier version of the site, now point at one current article. Dates on the articles are update dates, not a claim that the method was invented that week.

Start with House, Kitchen, Materials, Grill, or Outdoors. Clothes, gadgets, pets, food, vehicles, and hobbies are listed in the footer. The site map lists every guide.

The advice is general household information. Surfaces, finishes, and local rules differ. Test a cleaner on a spot that does not show, follow the label on the product you buy, and stop if a material softens, changes color, or smells wrong. Jobs that involve gas lines, tall chimneys, pool chemicals at scale, or fuel systems are described only so you can see the limit of a home job. Nothing here is medical, legal, or professional restoration advice. Read the terms of use.

We do not take payment to rank a product, and the guides do not exist to funnel you to a single brand. The site may show third-party advertisements, including ads from Google. Those ads pay for keeping the guides online. What advertising and analytics cookies do is described in the privacy policy.

How To Clean It is the publisher of this site. The public name of the publication is the name on the logo. Corrections, takedown requests, and privacy questions go to contact@howtocleanit.org or the contact page.
