It’s True: Clean Kitchens = Better Health

Nov 12 2019

We can all agree that maintaining kitchen cleanliness is important. No one wants to spend time in a grimy kitchen: not family, guests, or even hosts themselves. But keeping a clean kitchen is about much more than just creating a visibly clean space that limits embarrassment. When you clean your kitchen, you support everyone’s health. Here are the top 5 ways keeping a cleaner kitchen will lead to better health.

The Best Farmhouse Sinks

Pumpkins in the best farmhouse sinks, what can be any more fun than that? Well, I know just the sink that can hold all of the pumpkins that you need to wash.

Bathroom Ventilation 101

Out of all the rooms in your home, your bathroom holds the most moisture. Everyday personal care tasks completed in the shower and at the sink are centered on water. With all that water use, it’s easy to accumulate excess moisture in the air. And while a steamy shower may be the absolute best way to freshen up after a long day, but in a poorly ventilated bathroom, it’s the worst thing you can do for the room and your well being.

Get Back to Bathroom Routines

Summertime comes with slower mornings and fewer responsibilities. But just because the school year requires an earlier alarm and a regular get-ready schedule doesn’t mean that the easy lifestyle of sweet summer has to end. Yes, preparing entire families for the day can be stressful…but it doesn’t have to be. Routines can – and should – be enjoyable for all, as they provide consistent expectations and familiar structure everyone can depend on. The trick is to find a routine that suits each family member’s personality and needs.
