We haven’t posted clean dreams friday in some time, but New York City will be 90+ degrees and sticky today and the shower for viteo just might be the answer.
No, these aren’t hot plates for a deck. By stepping onto the circular platform, jets of water are engaged that magically spray up and about you [...]
In the beginning there was the Bubble Chair by Phillippe Starck. And that was good.
Weatherproof, UV resistant, in roto-molded polypropylene. Inset grooves along the seat allow for water drainage. Perfect for outdoor applications. Tough enough for commercial purposes and still good, after all these years, for the modern home with a [...]
Control device manufacturer IDEC has developed a high-tech dog bath system called Wan Love Yu (”Dog Love Bath”), which eliminates the need for shampoo. Instead it relies on technology typically found in industrial water treatment systems.
Wan Love Yu features a special shower head that discharges water containing approximately 600,000 tiny air bubbles per cubic [...]

Open shelving certainly make for beautiful photos…
…but they must [...]
Decks look better and last longer with regular maintenance. Of course you already knew this after reading our “spring cleaning: pressure washers” post in April. Nothing disappoints Clean+istry more than grungy decking, when all we really want to do is remove our shoes.
Jay Romano recommends several cleaning solutions, sealers and stains for [...]
ASKO, the Scandinavian appliance maker, wants your laundry room to be as beautiful as the kitchen. And we think they’ve done such a great job that you will be tempted to park a Barcelona Chair in front of the washer/dryer.
We love a good cleaning story and this is one that particularly inspires. ASKO [...]
Breathe easier and more beautifully. The Alen Paralda is an air purifier that you might welcome into your living room for purely aesthetic reasons. As for performance, it features “true” HEPA filtration and a long-life UV lamp for bacterial control. The Paralda is RoHS compliant (no lead), Energy Star qualified and kind [...]
