How To: Wash Your Sheets
Ask the Decorator online home-improvement and decorating show host Meghan Carter interviewed Alan Jesseman, the creative director at Anichini, to learn the right way to wash your sheets. He offered some expert tips on the task, some of which may make you realize you've been doing it all wrong! I've summarized a few for you:
- Sheets should always be washed; you don't want dry-cleaning chemicals close to your body.
- Use a mild detergent or soap, something that doesn't have any whiteners or brighteners, and something that has minimal fragrance or colorings to it.
- Test oxygen bleaches on a corner before using to make sure it won't take the color out.

Ask Casa: An Energy-Efficient Washer and Dryer?
Hi CasaSugar,
I'm going to have my first baby in August, and my mom wants to gift me a washer and a dryer to help me with all of the added laundry. I'm really grateful, but I'm not sure where to start looking. I know that I want something that's Energy Star rated, can be separated or stackable, and has a good warranty.
Sugarbabies: The Washer, Dryer and Lost Sock
This post comes from the Sugarbabies group from member Birkah.
Here are my 6 and 7-year old peanuts Nate and Ben as a Kenmore washer and dryer set, and my 2-year old Jonas as a missing sock. We took the photo while trick-or-treating in the mall, at the Sears store in front of their fellow appliances!

Coveted Crib: A Paper-Perfect Studio Loft
If I had my druthers, I probably wouldn't choose to live in a studio. But if I had to, I cannot imagine a more perfect space than this studio loft in Lägenhet, Stockholm (which is for sale). With tall ceilings, a bed and extra storage are tucked up high, making for a true living room.
Consumer Reports: How to Make Pricey Appliances Last
The cost of maintaining a home and appliances is often a major deterrent for those debating whether to rent or purchase a home. The unexpected expense of fixing leaky gutters and broken dishwashers can be budget breaking if it comes at the wrong time of month. Not to mention it's a huge pain.

How-To: Clean Your Deck with a Pressure Washer
As much as I love to sit and muse over the saturated sunset views I have from my deck, eventually it comes time to clean the deck after the long winter, and prepare for Summer entertaining. If your deck has seen better days, there are several options for cleaning it, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. Today, I'm going to tell you how to clean it with a pressure washer.
Kenmore's High-Efficiency Washer
The washer at our house has been on the fritz for a while. It's an obscure, European brand, and while it has some awesome features (requires hardly any detergent, frontloading, highly water- and energy-efficient), the fact that there's only one repair company in the entire San Francisco Bay Area that will service it, and that the repair company routinely charges $150 every time we have it fixed, is making me consider changing machines.
I was further tempted when I read about the Barolo Kenmore washer.
