If you read my recent letter in the magazine…you may remember that my sister was looking for a new washing machine. She wanted a front loader that wouldn’t stay wet or get that mildewy smell. I reached out to Carolyn Forté, executive director of the Good Housekeeping Cleaning Lab, who suggested the GE UltraFresh Front Load Washer (one of our GH Seal stars!). It has a special self-dry cycle, plus most interior parts have a special treatment to prevent mold growth. These are the kinds of household problems that our GH Lab experts are focusing on every day — and just some of the insights I’d love to bring to you every other week.
Whether it’s a last-minute idea for dinner tonight, inspiration for my 9-year-old niece’s birthday gift or how to get that balsamic drip out of my new linen top, come on my journey while I find all the answers.
