Housekeeping doesn’t have to be drudgery. Taking care of your living space is self care: It allows you to appreciate your home in its most sparkling state and feel relaxed in knowing the clutter is cleared and surfaces are germ-free. But the fact is, cleaning a home is tedious work—and it doesn’t make it any easier when your cleaning products emit strong smells that leave an unpleasant, lingering chemical odor.
Fortunately, The Laundress is back to solve that dilemma. Known for its sweetly scented laundry products, the cleaning brand has launched a new line of home cleaning supplies, stepping outside the laundry room and allowing you to infuse every surface in your home with a pleasant aroma.
After recalling eight million products in December 2022, devoted Laundress customers were devastated—but they were able to resume buying the brand's products when they returned to shelves seven months later. The brand moved to a new third-party manufacturer, and since then, there have been no quality issues. As CEO Clemens Herrmann said at the time of the reintroduction, «We've also taken this as an opportunity to reassess the suppliers of our raw materials, to reassess our raw material standards and the ingredients that we use.»
All products from The Laundress are formulated with its signature no. 247 fragrance: fresh eucalyptus and earthy moss, tempered by soothing lilac, jasmine, and lavender notes.

The thought of a professional organizer entering your home may send you into a cleaning frenzy. Even if you’re naturally tidy, piles of items can easily stack up, whether due to a lack of storage or a lack of a system.
Jasmit Singh Rangr, a Berkeley-based architect, founder of Rangr Studio, and a lecturer in architecture at the UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design, is technically responsible for building his family’s stylish, minimal, cost-conscious home near the Grizzly Peak summit in the Berkeley Hills. But the behind-the-scenes mastermind who made it possible is his wife, Abigail Dillen, president of Earthjustice, a nonprofit, public interest environmental law firm. Anyone familiar with the area’s cutthroat real estate market won’t be surprised to hear that the search for a vacant, buildable lot in one of the most coveted neighborhoods in the West required Dillen to use all of the skills that make her a great lawyer: creativity, a knack for analysis and research, perseverance, and the art of persuasion.
Given how often your home requires cleaning, it's worth taking some time to brush up on essential tips and tricks that experts rely on to help streamline your process.
Happy Friday GPODers!
