Somebody please give us a lump of coal! Specially, we want a Kuro Charcoal Refrigerator Cube ($25). It'll give that ancient container of baking soda a real run for its money in the odor-eating department. Let it dry out in the sun every once in... [More]
Got yourself a mean pistachio craving while you're still stuck at work, but don't want to risk the incriminating mess of a million shells? Now you can have your cake nut and eat it too with some cleanup help from the Tabletop Hand Held Vacuum... [More]
Unless you're a raccoon, trash is not fun. At least, it isn't unless you're stuffing it into these Pet Goldfish Garbage Bags ($15). They make trash day almost as much fun as those days when you don't have to drag bags of stink to the... [More]
You won't easily mistake your living room couch for a dirty tissue receptacle when you have the York Trash Bucket ($24) nearby.... [More]
Sure, chores are going to be a pain in the ass no matter how much fun we try to make them. But we could stand to lighten our mood, if not our workload, with the Striped Dustpan & Brush Set ($52) from Alice Supply Co.... [More]

No, we aren't suggesting you wear these Slipper Genie Microfiber Cleaning Slippers ($22) around your house in place of mopping. But what we are suggesting is that you convince your drunk best friend to wear them while she screams "Oh, Mr. Clean, I've been so... [More]
As handy as they are for carting and transporting laundry, traditional baskets are a bit on the bulky side when you're looking for a place to store them, especially in closet-sized studio apartments. Those of you tired of tripping over yours when you get up... [More]
We'll frankly admit that we have no intention of using this adorably vintage-looking Crank Clothesline ($13) to actually dry clothes. It would, however, be the perfect anchor for our cherished snapshots and antique postcards. After all, what's our priority? Energy-efficient laundering, or gush-worthy home decor?... [More]
Now that our apartment is sweltering, we're missing the cool winter weather. We never thought we'd say that. Walking In The Air Home Spray ($45) is like traipsing over fresh, snow-covered mountains, with the scent of the pine boughs wafting by. We like to pull... [More]
We'd like to say that we bought the Norwex Enviro Cloth ($16) because we really want to up the earth-friendliness of our cleaning techniques. But the truth is, we got it because it seems like we're perpetually running out of some vitally important cleaning product.... [More]
We all know what the worst part about sweeping is: bending over to maneuver that dustpan. We try to brush our dust into that bent piece of plastic, and half the crap we were trying to get off the floor just scoots underneath it. And... [More]
We cherish the way our freshly laundered clothes feel when they come out of the dryer, but we're not so fond of using chemicals to get them that way. We're getting a lot of use out of these Dryer Mate Balls ($4), which are reusable... [More]

It's something we know we really ought to be doing: line-drying our laundry. It's better for the environment. It lowers our electric bills. And our clothes end up smelling like heaven...or car exhaust or the neighbor's dogs, depending on which way the wind is blowing.... [More]
We love Big Sur. Ever since that one post-college road trip through its unspoiled mountain-meets-beach paradise landscape, we've been wishing we could find ourselves a hidden wilderness cabin there to grow dreadlocks and do some watercolor painting. Until that day arrives, we'll have to keep... [More]
We're tired of wearing pink clothes that were never supposed to be pink. We need to save our laundry from our own hangover-or-otherwise-impaired states. With this laundry bag ($20), we'll be hard-pressed to screw things up. It'll get us to separate our light and dark... [More]
We're pretty sure the Yellow Floral Dishtowel ($20) by lisa rupp design is one of those dish towels that's not really a dry-off-damp-dishes-and-clean-up-dirty-counters dish towel, you know what we mean? It's more of a look-pretty-hanging-off-of-the-oven-door-handle-but-never-get-messy kind of towel. All the same, we'd be fine with... [More]
We hate the ironing board. Somehow the prospect of pulling it out of the closet and unfolding it feels like an effort equivalent to climbing a mountain or discovering cold fusion. We'd rather just look like we slept in our clothes. This Quilted Ironing Mat... [More]
