Ditch that unsightly bath mat once and for all. More

Jerrod Blandino, co-founder and chief creative officer of Too Faced Cosmetics, gave us a glimpse inside his home (which he shares with his husband, Too Faced co-founder and CEO, Jeremy Johnson) to show off his kitchens (yes, plural!), pantry, and beauty skincare closet.
While looking at the beautiful decor, products, and more is so much fun, the best part of the tour is that Jerrod shares all of his tips and tricks for keeping each room perfectly organized.
For instance, with a little help from his friends at Well Organized, Jerrod has transformed his main kitchen into a chef’s dream by organizing his most frequently used cooking tools and accessories in a functional and low-stress way.
Jerrod follows the same rule when it comes to his baking kitchen (some the brand’s most popular products are inpsired by Jerrod’s love of baking!). That means, all the important baking items (sugar, candy, chocolate, mixes, etc) are front and center (and labeled!).
For all of Jerrod’s great tips, watch the video above, and shop a few of his favorite products below:

Expert pointers for a stylish and functional space. More

More plants! Fresh hardware! New gutters (seriously)! More

In the last several months, we have all come to appreciate that cleaning is an essential part of caring for our family’s health, not just another chore. More than perhaps ever before, consumers wonder before purchasing a cleaning product: Are the ingredients safe? Will this work effectively? Who can I trust to give me accurate information about its contents and usage?
On October 14, Good Housekeeping hosted our first-ever cleaning summit, in partnership with the American Cleaning Institute, to address those questions and a host of other concerns. In addition to exploring how COVID-19 has changed the way we clean our homes, experts gave detailed advice on the proper and most effective ways to clean and addressed what the industry is doing to increase the safety of and transparency around product ingredients.

Generation to Generation

REBECCA CULLEN
Senior Household CareAnalyst, Mintel

“We could see natural products being used for those day-to-day ad hoc spot-cleaning needs, but when it comes time to have to kill germs — such as flu season or those deep-cleaning needs — we’ll see them revert to more traditional formulas.” —Rebecca Cullen on how product use may change post-pandemic

It turns out Baby Boomers and Gen Z aren’t so dissimilar… when it comes to their pandemic-motivated preference for purchasing cleaning products online, anyway. During this engaging presentation of the latest research on consumer cleaning and shopping behavior, Cullen shared comparisons between the generations and genders, as well as a host of brands and services that are already meeting our safety needs and wants.

“Turns out the toilet is not the highest risk area at all. The high-risk areas are firstly our hands, paramount, and then secondly the hand-contact surfaces that we touch.” —Dr. Liz Scott on where pathogenic microbes are likely to be transmitted in the home

Still-bare shelves are evidence that we’re buying and using cleaning products more than ever — but how many of those sprays and wipes are being used correctly? In this session, panelists explain the science of how cleaning products work and give detailed instructions on using them to get the best germ-killing results.

PAMELA HELMSExecutive Director, RD&E, SC Johnson

People will use a product for the appropriate amount of time when it smells pleasant.” —Cynthia Reichard on the health benefit of fragrance in cleaning products

Fragrance isn’t just included in cleaning products because people enjoy when their homes smell like a field of alpine flowers.

MELISSA MAKERCleaning Expert, Founder & Host of the Youtube channel “Clean My Space”

“A lot of people never learned how to properly clean, myself included. When I was growing up it was like, ‘Clean your room!’ But it was never like, ‘And here’s how to do it.'”—Melissa Maker on what inspires the kind of advice she shares online

No one would blame you for assuming that a “cleanfluencer” loves nothing more than keeping their home spotless. Not Melissa Maker, host of the Youtube channel “Clean My Space.” She’s the first to say that she’s always hated cleaning and didn’t really know how to clean well. She built her cleaning service and Youtube channel into successes by targeting people that relate.
