CLEANING

Your mattress harbors up to 10 million dust mites and sheds a pound of dead skin cells every year , which means that cozy sleep surface needs more attention than most of us give it. We found three surprisingly simple methods that tackle stains, odors, and allergens without harsh chemicals or expensive equipment.

TIP OF THE DAY

Does Your Mulch Double as a Termite Welcome Mat?

Replace wood-based mulch within three feet of your foundation with gravel, rubber mulch, or cedar chips. Pull existing mulch back to create a six-inch bare zone against the house, and keep the mulch layer shallow.

Wood mulch holds moisture against your home's exterior and gives termites a hidden highway straight to your walls.

NASA research found that certain houseplants can remove up to 87% of indoor air toxins within 24 hours. We rounded up 14 beautiful, hardworking varieties that clean the air while adding life to any room.

FUN FACT

Can a tray actually tell you which egg to crack first?

Rafael Hwang filed a patent in 2019 for an egg-storage device that automatically tracks freshness and inventory.

The smart egg tray uses weight sensors and connectivity to alert your phone when eggs are running low or aging past their prime.
