Terms of Use

Last updated: October 19, 2026

These terms cover your use of howtocleanit.org, published by How To Clean It. By using the site you agree to them. If you do not agree, please leave the site. Questions: contact@howtocleanit.org.

Information, not a service

The articles are general information about cleaning household surfaces. They are not a contract to clean your home, not professional restoration advice, and not medical, legal, or mechanical instruction for a specific object you own. You are responsible for the products you choose, the surface you put them on, and for following the label and any local rule.

Some jobs described on the site can hurt you or the object if they are done past the point the article marks. Chimney sweeping, pool treatment, dryer-vent cleaning, and fuel-system work have a point where a qualified person should take over. Stop there. A page about ears, skin, or anything you would ask a clinician about is household information only. It is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan.

No warranty

Guides are provided as-is. Finishes vary, including coatings that look like the material underneath. We do not warrant that a method will produce a particular result or that it is safe for every brand. If a guide is out of date or wrong, write to us and we will correct the page.

Your use of the site

You may read the pages and share links to them. You may not copy the articles onto another site, sell them, or present them as your own writing. Do not use the email address to send spam, malware, or threats.

Copyright

The text of the guides, as revised for this site, is published by How To Clean It. Photographs that remain from earlier versions of the site stay with their owners. If you believe a page uses your work, email contact@howtocleanit.org with the URL and a description of the work, and we will review it.

Advertising

The site may show third-party advertisements, including ads served by Google. Advertisers are responsible for their ads. A link from an ad is not an endorsement by How To Clean It. Advertising cookies are described in the privacy policy.

Other websites

A link that leaves this site is not under our control. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, How To Clean It is not liable for damage to property, injury, or loss that follows from using a guide, relying on an advertisement, or following an external link. If the law does not allow that limit, liability is limited to the amount you paid to use the site, which is nothing.

Changes

We may update these terms by posting a new version on this page. The date at the top will change. Continued use of the site after that date means you are reading the terms then on this page.
