An Eco-Friendly Way to Clean Rust Off Metal
We just read that you can clean rust from metal by using white vinegar and a wire brush. Has anyone tried this? It might affect the way we look at rusty items at the flea market......
How To: Clean Everything
If you've ever been offended by someone's lack of cleanliness - be it crumbs between the couch cushions, rings in the toilet, or whatever funk you've encountered - try and remember that maybe they jus...
Non-Toxic Window Cleaning
We've heard of vinegar before as a good alternative to Windex, but this tip uses a breakfast staple for people all over the world. What is it, you ask? Answer below the jump....
Ornamented Life Lace Plates from Rose and Radish
We are one of those people who scrub out the sink every time after doing the dishes, rub the sides with spent lemon rinds and arrange things just so before leaving to flop out on the couch. Perhaps ...
Most Hated House Chores
See those piles? In our experience, most people would look at those dirty dishes in the back and run the other way. Us? We really don't mind washing up...someone once mentioned that they saw it as a...
Tip: How to Pick Up Broken Glass
We picked up a copy of O at Home last week in the airport, and in it there was a tip we will undoubtedly find useful at some point: How to pick up broken glass. It's so basic that we can't believe we...
Sweepa Rubber Broom
This picture does not exaggerate. The advertising for this product seems to revolve around pet hair, but that doesn't begin to describe how much of a miracle-worker the rubber squeegee-cum-brush has ...
Linen-Cotton Dishtowels at Crate and Barrel
We like to keep stacks of dishtowels in the house, they come in handy not only for drying dishes and hand but also are the perfect general (not to mention green) cleaning tool - polishing mirrors, wi...
Breathe Charcoal Sachets
On a visit to Clover House, the new home accessory store we wrote about a bit ago, we spotted these charcoal sachets from Breathe....
SPLAT Dish Rack by Jill Davis Design
We've had it all wrong. In the past we've always been tempted by the massive dish drying contraptions in the big box home stores; they feed our pitiful illusion that the more full-service the dish ra...
SF Survey: What Kind of Cleaning Products Do You Use?
Here at AT we're big fans of non-toxic cleaning products. They're better for the earth and better for your health. That said, we know some people are skeptical of their cleaning powers, and we admit t...
Concrobium Mold Control
Mold can be a big problem in homes - not only is having moldy walls, ducts, or windows just kind of gross, it can also make you really sick. Getting rid of it can be problematic, however, as most mold...
Leather Flyswatter by Tarmoset
Passing no judgement on those who do, we personally don't kill any creature that happens to wander inside our home. But as spring approaches, so does pest season, and this flyswatter at A + R Store...
Graduated Liquid Measurer
We're shocked that this container design hasn't swept store shelves like wildfire. It's a storage container and measuring cup all in one — it works by allowing you to tip liquid back and forth b...
Store 'n Slide Wall Organizer
The fact that our apartment has zero closets may come off as modern and vaguely Scandinavian in the bedroom, say, but it's not as easy to make the contents of a utility closet look cool....
SF Good Questions: How Do I Save My Burnt Non-Stick Pot?
We've moved this post over to The Kitchn as it deals with cooking. You can find it here: SF Good Questions: How Do I Save My Burnt Non-Stick Pot? All comments have been copied over as well....
Snowtone Wastebasket
Like it or not, reading material is something many of us turn to in the bathroom. Usually racks for storing our second office reading collection are made for the toilet tank or combined with the pap...
Reader Tip: HydrOxiPro Crystal Spot
AT:SF reader K. wrote to us with a tip about a green stain remover for carpets, as well as Oriental/Persian rugs: I'd been using HydrOxiPro Crystal Spot on regular carpets and found that it didn't le...
Howard Feed-N-Wax Wood Preserver
Most of the furniture in our house comes either from family or Craigslist, meaning that much of it comes to us in less than perfect condition. While in the past we turned down some pieces for being to...
Good Question Update: Stinky Vintage Kettle
A while back we were the happy winners of one fantastic Michael Lax vintage tea kettle. We were over the moon...for about 2 hot seconds. We opened the nicely wrapped package to the undeniable stink ...

AT:SF, I recently acquired one of my Grandmother's Le Creuset Enamel-Coated Cast Iron Pots. I was wondering if you or any of your readers would have ideas on how to clean or save this pot? I also wo...
Wine Away: Makes Red Wine Stains Disappear
We tend to mistrust single-use items. But we will admit that red wine stains have stymied us a few times, especially when we've let them sit. And that because of that we've become those people who dis...
Broom Lamp
So we know this is not the greenest product on the planet. Nor the most stylish. But vacuum cleaners have had headlamps on them for a few decades now, why not the broom? Sure, we can think of a c...
Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator by Biokleen
We don't use chlorine bleach -- both because we're allergic to it, and because we really try not to use toxic cleaning products. And we've never found non-chlorine bleach terribly effective. So we'v...
