Last summer, Courteney Cox’s home-care brand, Homecourt, sold out of its Mandarin Basile scent in just one month. It’s no wonder people snapped it up: The citrus-inspired fragrance—which initially launched in the hand wash, dish soap, candle, and surface cleaner—was concocted to “recall a crisp morning walk through an herb garden.” Who wouldn’t want to feel surrounded by that 24-7?

The speed in which the limited-edition scent flew off the virtual shelves is not lost on Cox. She’s giving us something extra-special to look forward to this spring by reintroducing Mandarin Basile—and its comforting notes of mandarin peel, Nigerian ginger, Egyptian basil, and fig leaves—to the Homecourt line. Right now, the popular aroma is available for preorder, but don’t fear a long lead time: The products are expected to begin shipping in early April (and if you bundle them with in-stock items in your cart now, they could arrive at your door even earlier than that). 

Mandarin Basile Collection

Like the rest of the Homecourt line, the hand wash, dish soap, and surface cleaner come in post-consumer recycled bottles with a reusable pump. The candle is hand-poured into a kiln-fired ceramic vessel and delivers 60 hours of burn time.

If you want to take the refreshing feeling a step further, let the combination of mandarin and basil inspire your next party. Last summer, Cox hosted a cocktail-making contest around the beloved combo.

Even though our closets hold some of our most important possessions, we inevitably end up neglecting them. So we’re asking clever homeowners and renters to share their time-tested organizing methods that really (really!) work in our new series, Reclaim Your Closet.

Why is it that you never notice a wrinkle until you’re pressed for time to get out the door? Which gives you mere minutes to run to the closet and wrangle the ironing board, let alone wait for the iron to get hot. Design blogger and DIYer Stefana Silber, however, no longer knows this sense of panic. 

When Silber spots an unwanted crease, she simply opens her husband’s closet door and—whoosh!—down flips the retractable ironing board folded neatly inside. The $85 tool is a must for anyone who is prone to ironing on the fly or simply doesn’t have room to store a regular-size board, period. It also just makes the chore simpler: The board can rotate 180 degrees, so you don’t have to struggle with flip-flopping your clothes. Plus you just need to know how to operate a drill to install it. Ahead, in her own words, Silber shares her experience with the hidden Amazon gem. 

It used to be that I would iron a large batch of clothes (mostly my husband’s shirts) on a full-size board right after doing the laundry while watching the TV, which I can see from our laundry room–slash–kitchen. But because my husband no longer wears dress shirts, that routine has changed. I find that I use the retractable board more often as needed. I can quickly do a touch-up—mostly on my clothes—if they arrive wrinkled in shipping or after I wash them.

The small folding board, which took probably 10 to 15 minutes to install, can fit at the bottom of the cabinet without any need for reorganizing clothes (I keep a small iron next to it). At the same time, it’s tucked out of sight, meaning I still have a pretty closet aesthetic when the doors are closed.

Swiffer, watch your back: Every millennial’s favorite stick vacuum just got a serious upgrade. Dyson has introduced a wet vac called the Submarine. 

Similar to its current stick models, which include laser heads that detect dust and a pet-grooming brush, the Submarine is its own attachment that includes a microfiber roller head and two chambers: one that pumps clean water onto the roller and one for waste. It’s a dream situation for spills of all kinds—even dry ones—and will practically eliminate your need for a traditional mop. (The only bummer is that it won’t work on any current stick vacuum models; you’ll need to buy a new one, the V15 Detect Submarine, but on the bright side, it comes with two other heads for dry vacuuming.)

Earlier this summer, Dyson debuted two new cordless options: the Gen5detect and Gen5outsize, both with the most suction power the brand has ever released, and the latter of which holds 150 percent more dust and debris than the former. Plus both run for 70 minutes—not that you would want to vacuum for that long, but you could. Dyson also announced a new robotic vacuum and a massive air purifier, though we’ve got our eye exclusively on the Submarine. Our floors can’t wait, either.

“The name Grossy is ironic,” says Dan Pelosi, Internet-famous chef (as @grossypelosi) and author of a new book, Let’s Eat. “I am very much cut from the same cloth as my mother and sister—we are all clean freaks. The kind of people who clean before we clean.”

Even though Pelosi’s book is filled with Italian American–inspired recipes (including his famous vodka sauce and a fold-out of a hoagie), he says that tidying up as he cooks makes him happy. “I am a clean-as-you go person, which keeps cooking joyful and not chaotic,” he says. “Even still, I have to do dishes at the end of a meal, usually surrounded by a few lingering guests, which leads to great conversation and laughter.”

But his absolutely favorite cleaning partner is his mother, who taught him all he knows: “All that time I spent complaining about having to help clean when I was a kid? Turns out it made me into a self-sufficient domestic queen myself, and I could not be more grateful.” In this excerpt from his book, Pelosi shares his mom’s best tidying-up tricks.

Grossy’s Mom’s Guide to Cleaning

When it comes to cleaning her house, my mom is an unmatched force—except maybe by my sister, who is equally intense. The two of them will clean you out of house and home. In fact, when they come to visit me, they do. Some of you are probably thinking, Dan’s mom should meet my mom; no one cleans like her. And you are absolutely right, no one cleans quite like your own mom. Others of you are probably thinking, My mom did not clean a thing, please help! This guide is for children of dust busters and dust bunnies alike. I asked my mom to list her best cleaning tips, thinking she would type them up and email them. Instead, a few days later, she handed me an envelope with handwritten instructions on folded notepad paper. That dossier is transcribed for you here, word for word.

Cleaning Your Oven
Combine 1 cup distilled white vinegar and 2 cups water in an ovenproof pot. Set the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and leave the pot in the oven for 20 minutes or up to an hour. Remove the pot and turn off the oven. Once the oven is cool, wipe it clean.

Cleaning Your Fridge
Fill a spray bottle with 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar and 2 cups water. Spray and wipe the fridge, inside and outside. Old socks work well for wiping.

Cleaning Your Sink
Plug the sink. Add 2 tablespoons baking soda and plenty of water and let it soak. Drain and it sparkles. For tougher stains, like rust, lime stains, and tarnish, apply Bar Keepers Friend with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse well.

Cleaning Your Faucet
To clean buildup on the faucet, fill a plastic sandwich bag with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of essential oil (optional, but it smells nice). Secure the bag over the faucet with a rubber band and leave it overnight. Rinse in the morning and all grime will be gone!

Cleaning Your Countertops
Fill a spray bottle with 1/4 cup distilled white vinegar and 2 cups water. Spray and wipe with a soft cloth daily.

Cleaning Your Dishwasher
When the dishwasher begins to smell, add 2 tablespoons baking soda and 2 cups distilled white vinegar to the bottom of the basin. Let that sit for 20 minutes, then run a rinse cycle.

Cleaning Your Microwave
Combine 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar and 1 cup water in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and turn the microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove the bowl and wipe down the insides of the microwave with a soft cloth. The old sock works well here, too.

Cleaning Your Dutch Ovens, Pans & Sheet Pans
Always let pans cool before cleaning or the bottom will warp and the pans will no longer lie flat on the burner. For light cleaning, use Dawn dish soap. Heavier cleaning calls for Bar Keepers Friend. The heaviest cleaning requires soaking overnight with water and kosher salt and rinsing in the morning. Stuck-on food sometimes calls for boiling a mixture of water and white vinegar in the pan on the stovetop, which works well to loosen up the food and stains before washing.

Cleaning Your Kitchen Cabinets
Add 1 capful Murphy’s Oil Soap to 1 gallon warm water. Wipe the cabinets with a soft cloth. This also works well on woodwork, baseboards, and wood doors.

Cleaning Your Hardwood Floors
Combine 1/2 cup Windex and 1 gallon water. Wash the floors with the mixture—a Swiffer fitted with another old sock works great.

Dusting Your Everything
Wear old wool gloves to use as dustcloths so you can easily get everywhere, especially around hard shapes or all those knickknacks. Throw them in the laundry and use them again and again. Once a month, spray Pledge on the gloves.

The post We Got Grossy Pelosi’s Mom’s Hack for Speedy Oven Cleaning appeared first on domino.

You can’t convince me that anyone actually likes mopping. Having a clean home? Of course. The act of cleaning? Not so much. If there’s a faster, easier way to get it done, I’m here for it. That’s why I initially thought getting an app-operated robot vacuum-mop combo would undoubtedly ensure spick-and-span floors in my apartment at all times. Then I realized how often I actually had to refill the reservoir and that I had to put the tiny mop attachment into the washing machine after Every. Single. Use. Hard pass. I also tried a high-tech steam vac that promises to cut cleaning time in half (and it really did!), but I soon got too overwhelmed—okay, fine, lazy—to properly clean out the gnarly tank of watery muck that got sucked up with every run. When I saw that Swiffer launched its first major revamp in more than 20 years, I thought, maybe a simpler approach will actually make mopping, I don’t know, simpler. Here’s how it went when I gave up all the fancy-schmancy alternatives. 

The very first thing that thrilled me when I unboxed the Swiffer PowerMop was discovering that it actually came with batteries. Is there anything worse than opening a new toy only to realize you have to steal some AAs from your TV remote just to use it? After unpacking the bottle of cleaner and two mop heads that come with the starter kit, I snapped together the rod (which easily comes apart, a detail that also is handy if you don’t have a ton of vertical storage), clicked the bottle into the holster, and stuck the pad of scrubbing strips onto the bottom. Boom. Ready to mop in under one minute. 

Swiffer PowerMop Starter Kit

If you’ve used a Swiffer, there’s not much difference in the way this one operates—push the button on the handle, get a spritz of solution across the floor, and start swiping. Though there is one new feature that’s a major upgrade for me: a 360-degree swivel and the ability to lock the head into a completely vertical position. Being able to easily clean up splatters of dog food from the bottom of my kitchen island was a game changer. And a quick trip around the perimeter of my one-bedroom apartment had my baseboards looking (and smelling!) as fresh as move-in day. This simple addition also makes it that much easier to store the Swiffer in the awkward sliver of space I reserve in my laundry closet for cleaning tools. The scent is strong, but not too, and lasts long enough to make me feel accomplished several hours later. As for the pads, the package says they’re good for about 485 square feet before you should toss them, but I’d say that also depends on how dirty your floors are. 

Other new perks include a base that’s 30 percent larger than past versions, which means more cleaning in fewer swipes, and a quick-dry solution that doesn’t have me tiptoeing around the kitchen for the next hour. I have to say, I do find myself reaching for the Swiffer a lot more often than I’m activating the robot mop or steam cleaner these days. Do I like cleaning now? Not really, but for just $30, it’s feeling like the low-tech route at least makes life (and chores) much more manageable.

The post Why I Swapped My Fancy $600 Steam Vacuum for This $30 Classic appeared first on domino.

My cats, Penny and Tiny, have been a part of my family for more than 10 years. We’ve lived together in a college house in North Carolina and several cramped apartments in New York City; we currently reside in a lakeside bungalow in the Hudson Valley. Throughout all these living scenarios, their litter box setup has stayed relatively the same: two separate boxes, each enclosed with an opening on top, which need to be kept meticulously clean to live up to their standards.

There have been countless hours of lugging cat litter, sifting, scooping, and scrubbing. When I became pregnant, I was given a directive to stay far away from used cat litter to avoid a potential toxoplasmosis infection, and I began to look for options that could make litter life a bit safer and easier for us all. Enter the Litter-Robot 4. 

Litter-Robot 4

The Smooth Setup 

Setup for the Litter-Robot 4 was just as easy as the decision to try it. The self-contained unit arrives already constructed and simply needs to be plugged into a standard outlet. Adding litter is a simple process: Open the waste drawer compartment and insert a liner to catch the goods (the unit comes with one bag, which you can reorder, or you can opt to use a standard garbage bag instead); add 8 to 10 pounds of clumping litter to the globe (which denotes a max-fill line); and scan the QR code to download and connect the Whisker App to Wi-Fi. After an initial spin of the globe to get into position, a light ring on the unit let me know that the setup was now complete, while the app informed me that the robot had an optimal amount of litter.

It took a few days for my pets to grow accustomed to their new litter palace. Tiny, in particular, as well as our dog, Milly, were perplexed when the globe would start a clean spin cycle. Luckily Litter-Robot’s website provides several resourceful tips that would encourage both cats to acclimate fairly quickly. We placed treats around the unit and on the step up to it to create a positive connotation, and instead of immediately swapping out their previous boxes for the Litter-Robot 4, we removed one box and slowly let the other become dirtier to entice them to use their new, always-clean commode.

The Spotless Self-Cleaning

The automatic self-cleaning function itself is pretty straightforward: After a cat has been detected entering and exiting, the unit pauses for a countdown before starting a two-minute cycle (which you can also initiate yourself at any time). While slowly spinning, the sifting system separates the clumps and drops waste into the drawer, while an integrated weight encourages the liner to actually fall away from the globe to ensure any stuck-on clumps are removed. Then it begins a cycle back to its original position, which causes the clean litter to again spread into the bottom of the globe. After that, it’s ready for the next use. Even though there is some cajoling of the litter and waste during the cleaning cycle, the replaceable carbon filter sitting directly over the waste drawer greatly minimizes any odors. 

After about a week, both cats started using the Litter-Robot 4 regularly, but even within those first few days it was surprising how much I myself became interested in their use of it. Now armed with an app, I’m alerted when a cat is detected inside the globe, how much that cat weighs (Tiny is smaller than Penny, so I know exactly which cat the app is referring to), when the unit completes a clean cycle, how much waste is in the bin, and when litter needs to be replaced. All of a sudden, a lifelong onerous chore became something I was personally intrigued by, even from afar. 

The Minimal Maintenance

Since waste is removed immediately after being used, we only need to manually swap out the liner about once a week. There’s been no trace of wafting litter smells, and our need for two litter boxes is no longer mandatory (the Litter-Robot 4 can apparently handle up to four cats). Aside from the complete automation and keeping on top of the litter situation so I don’t have to, we’re not using as much litter because of how efficient it is at cleaning, and the sleek design takes up less of a footprint and isn’t as much of an eyesore as our regular boxes. 

The Tricky Transition

Going from a top-down to a forward-entry litter box proved challenging for Tiny, as she prefers to bury her business and is still kicking litter out the front of the Litter-Robot 4. This previously wasn’t much of an issue since there were walls to contain her mess, but even with the low shield that comes with the Litter-Robot 4 she manages to spread litter onto the floor. Adding a mat out front has been helpful, and I’m hoping with time she’ll come to realize that the litter is always clean when she enters and there is less of a need for her to kick and bury.

The Price Tag

While there is a steep price tag, the biggest selling point of the Litter-Robot 4 was an investment in getting my time back. Automating this chore will save me legitimately dozens of hours annually to focus my energy elsewhere, with the reassurance that I will receive prompts when it is time to refill the litter or empty the waste. It also cuts down on the amount of litter I need to cycle out. With a 37-pound box of my preferred litter clocking in around $60, a single box lasts me almost twice as long than when I was using conventional litter boxes. My hope is the greater up front cost will save both time and money for the foreseeable future. And, since the Litter-Robot can also easily contain the waste of up to four cats, it becomes even more cost efficient if you have multiple feline friends.

The Final Word

I feel much more secure keeping my baby and myself shielded from toxoplasmosis, and tracking my pet’s usage of their business has never been easier—or more enthralling. Most important, the Litter-Robot 4 is clearly appreciated by Penny, as there have been no accidents outside the box since we brought it into our home. That’s a win I will absolutely take any day.

The post My Self-Cleaning Litter Box Is So Sleek That I Keep It in the Living Room appeared first on domino.

Staff just made us rethink this cleaning tool altogether. The cheeky brand founded during the pandemic has dropped a series of head-turning household items over the past few years—from turkey basters to toilet plungers—and its most recent release is what we’d call a beautified version of the wet mop. The color-blocked, jewel-toned acrylic handle isn’t just for show either.

The mop ships in three separate segments that easily screw together, which is a bonus if you’re tight on storage space. That cutesy top hat could have been added simply for humorous flourish, but there’s a dual purpose: It helps grip the wall and protects your floor if the whole thing tips over after tackling all that work.

Designed to work with Clorox’s Scentiva line, all you have to do to kick-start the chore is clip in one of six scented disinfecting cloths (in Tahitian Grapefruit Splash, Tuscan Lavender, or Pacific Breeze and Coconut) the gadget comes with.

Why should you spring for it over a Swiffer? Other than its looks, the major plus is that the mop’s head is bigger; our deputy editor, Julie Vadnal, can confirm it covers more ground in a shorter amount of time. Another win: The size keeps the cleaning cloths taught while clipped into the four tabs, so you don’t have to fret about one coming loose after a particularly passionate scrubbing session. And in the world of mops, where many leave much to be desired in the appearance department, Staff’s eye-catching iteration almost makes wiping down floors feel like a party. Needless to say, it’s a welcome addition to the smiley-emblazoned lineup.

During Dry January, Martha Stewart came through by sharing her favorite hacks for leftover vodka. (Turns out the spirit makes for a great room spray and even flower food.) But she’s not the only celebrity who likes to get creative with common household items. Queer Eye’s Bobby Berk is focused on managing the surplus of lemons that come from the trees in his and husband Dewey Do’s California backyard. His solution? Get an early start on spring cleaning. “I like to be as natural as possible, because I don’t like chemicals, so I use a lot of them for cleaning,” he says. 

That white, mineral-water residue left behind on faucets? Rub it with half a lemon. Stubborn countertop stains? Squeeze some juice on the surface and use the produce like a sponge. After a minute or two, wipe it down with a damp cloth. Berk even uses the fruit to get his grimy refrigerator shelves sparkling again. For a brand-new-looking microwave (and for keeping harsh household cleaners away from your food), Berk also swears by putting a bowl of fresh lemon water in the zapper for three to four minutes and then watching caked-on food wipe right off. 

His other sustainable trick? Use old socks for dusting. “They’re going to go into the landfill anyway,” he explains. “So you might as well get more life out of them instead of buying something just for dusting.” But before kicking up all that debris, Berk recommends preparing your space with a quality air purifier like his favorite, Molekule, because one of the biggest spring-cleaning nuisances is powering through a sneezing spell or struggling with congestion for the rest of the day. “I usually get the socks slightly damp so the dust doesn’t fly everywhere,” he says. But the great thing about the tool is that if particles do end up blowing around, it will catch them (the larger model is able to handle rooms up to 1,000 square feet).

If you’re ready to try Berk’s fruit-infused cleaning tips, the good news is you don’t even need a backyard to grow your own citrus supply. There are several dwarf species like Meyer and Eureka trees that can thrive indoors. With enough sunlight, proper drainage (terracotta pots are best), and a light breeze (try a rotating fan inside), you’ll be well on your way to a naturally clean home this coming season.

The post Bobby Berk Uses the Same Simple Hack to Clean His Fridge, Sink, and Microwave appeared first on domino.

There hasn’t been a lot of innovation in the world of paper towel holders aside from a few sleek designs. Until now. The latest launch from Simplehuman, the Container Store–favorite brand best known for its streamlined trash cans, has given us the kitchen upgrade we didn’t know we needed: the Paper Towel Pump. In place of your standard wood or metal dowel in the middle, this game changer features a detachable pump in the center that you can fill with cleaner, that way you can tackle messes right after they happen. 

With a starting price of $80, the double-duty product is pricey compared to its more basic counterparts, but as the first of its kind, it may pay for itself by making life a little easier and more eco-friendly. The 6-ounce sprayer is refillable (the company is also selling multisurface cleaning tablets in three scents to go in it) and delivers a continuous and even mist. Plus the two-in-one design means fewer bottles cluttering up your under-sink cabinet or countertops. At the very top of the pump, you’ll find an easy-to-grab loop that essentially turns the entire thing into a cleaning caddy that you can tote from room to room. Even better? It’s available in matte black, white, brushed, and brass colorways, so it’s bound to blend with any existing fixtures.

To make it a touch more planet-friendly, swap out the Scott for a reusable cotton roll. And while the Simplehuman citrus grapefruit tablets are included, you could fill the vessel with any all-purpose cleaning favorites you already have at home. So you don’t have to wait until spring cleaning is in full swing to stock up on the best new products.

When it comes to efficient kitchen layout designs, the work triangle has long reigned supreme. The time-tested setup revolves around an imaginary blueprint that prioritizes the proximity of the sink, refrigerator, and stove. But imagine for a moment a work square that allows you to tick off another important task while you’re cooking: the laundry. 

Having a washer and dryer in the kitchen isn’t a foreign concept to city dwellers who have long relied on combining the two zones out of a sheer lack of square footage. And while we get that a designated room for cleaning and folding clothes is preferable for most, when it’s not in the cards, the next logical place to put your machines is near or in the kitchen. After all, the room is already hooked up for plumbing and it’s where we tend to spend the most time. So picture this: You toss in a load of darks and then, in just a few steps, you’re firing up the Crockpot for dinner. In the spirit of staying very on top of chores, we rounded up six well-designed kitchen-laundry combinations that prove the more appliances, the merrier. 

The Faux Pantry

The simplest way to hide your washer and dryer from view is with a tall cabinet. In this Austin guesthouse, designer Marie Flanigan concealed a basic white laundry center behind dark wood doors that, when closed, look as if they could lead to a pantry. 

This similar arrangement by Studio McGee offers extra flexibility with two stacked doors (if you only want access to the bottom machine, you can quickly open just the one cupboard). The designers also carved out extra room for a small shelf of essentials at the tippy-top. 

The Disappearing Act

For a side-by-side front-load arrangement, pocket doors offer a seamless solution, especially in a tight galley kitchen like this one by OAK Design Project. By being able to tuck the fronts away within the base frame, one person can throw in a load and another can buzz around cooking without having to squeeze around each other. 

The One Round the Bend

If you don’t want to bother with camouflage, consider investing in minimalist appliances that you can tuck into the corner of your space. After shifting the fridge in their Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, apartment, Jeremiah Corley and Anthony Espino bought new stackable machines from GE, splurging more than they originally intended on a washer with a reversible door (that way it wouldn’t be opening into the wall). 

The Base Camp

To make up for the lower cabinetry that side-by-side units naturally soak up, mount your pots and pans on the wall like food blogger Christine Han and her fiancé, Joon, did in their Brooklyn apartment. 

For a middle-of-the-road setup, take a page out of Kate Voegele’s book. The We the Dreamers blogger decided to minimize the look of chunky white appliances in her cooking zone (and all the pipes and cords that come with them) by framing them in a sleek waterfall butcher block countertop. The wood top provides crucial surface space for sorting, folding, chopping, and dicing.
