R&B laundry carts have been the commercial standard since 1946. We think the sturdy, industrial design is a perfect illustration of form-meets-function. Why should local coin-operated laundromats have all the fun? They’re perfect for the home too.
Store laundry soap on the bottom shelf of the elevated cart.

Is the endo magnet the last refrigerator magnet you’ll ever own? Maybe. Made from neodymium, silicone and steel, the endo is a single springy mass of silicone with no moving parts that acts like a clip. It won’t scratch your refrigerator. It won’t leave a black mark.

Clean+istry spent part of the New Year’s holiday catching up on posts we missed last year like, for instance, this Consumer Reports Home & Garden piece about the growing scandal involving mold and front-loading washing machines.

The bag is actually two bags in one: a garment bag that can be used as a duffel bag to transport laundry to [...]

Picking up on yesterday’s “no wire hangers, ever” theme, the “Lean-On” self-standing closet rod, designed by Peter Van de Water for Cascando, seems like the perfect closet solution if you happen to be a minimalist who dresses in a single color. But wait, we can think of more applications…
