In “This Clean House,” from the May 2005 issue of Real Simple, deep-cleaning tasks — from washing walls to scrubbing kitchen appliances — are broken down into three simple steps. Here’s a guide to where you can find some of the cleaning tools mentioned along the way. (Note: The reference on page 230 to a “white (low-abrasion) S.O.S. pad” for use on oven racks is incorrect. What’s needed is a low-abrasion sponge or scrubber, such as the blue S.O.S. All-Surface Sponge, listed below.)
