In service of romanticizing our lives, a few things that make cleaning and tidying just a little more chic, and proof positive that you can find beauty/joy in even the smallest and most trivial of places in your daily life at home:
DISHWASHING LIQUID // CANDLE // LAUNDRY WASH // FLAMINGO ESTATE DUO // DISH BRUSH // WOODEN PEDESTAL // LAUNDRY BASKET
Stylish Kitchen Gear.
01. Durable, high quality dish brush.
02. This wooden pedestal is perfect for displaying soaps, scrubbers, etc. I’m eyeing this because we have a cluster of three items always by our sink and I’m constantly rearranging them to make them look tidy/”together” versus just randomly on the counter.
03. Countertop spray with a rosewater scent. Smells like Jo Malone cleaned your kitchen.
04. Cleaning duo from Flamingo Estate — would also make a chic hostess gift.
05. I love the tea towels from Geometry. Highly absorbent but come in the cutest patterns.
06. I would leave this dishwashing liquid on the counter! The packaging is so elegant. (Might refill with less expensive liquid afterwards – does anyone else do this?)
08. Water-absorbing stone sink caddy.
10. Dish rack. Compelling solution to the eyesore that is the towel constantly holding half-dry items right next to the sink.
11. This brush for cleaning produce.
13. Food recycler.
TEA TOWELS // COPPER SPONGES // DISH RACK // DISH BRUSH // CLEANING DUO // DISHWASHING LIQUID // FOOD RECYCLER // PRODUCE CLEANING BRUSH // WOODEN PEDESTAL
Stylish Laundry Room Gear.
01. Have you seen the Koala Eco x Christy Dawn collab? I love this detergent so much and had to get my hands on this limited-edition scent.
02. Luxe pillow mist from Jo Malone.
03. Space-saving laundry rack — we have something similar but I love the natural wood grain and extra rungs on this version.
04. Rattan laundry basket. Who knew a pile of dirty clothes could look chic?
05. Wool laundry dryer balls. I swear by these. No more gross dryer sheets with their plastic scent! These are absolutely essential for bedding, too — prevent them from balling up into a big twisty knot that never dries.
06. This laundry stain brush is a lifesaver. My trick to getting almost any stain out: immediately apply a little bit of laundry detergent to the spot and scrub vigorously with a small laundry brush. Then rinse with really hot water. Repeat until stain disappears.
LAUNDRY BASKET // DRYER BALLS // LAUNDRY STAIN BRUSH // DRYING RACK // LAUNDRY WASH // LINEN SPRAY
Stylish Utility + Storage Gear.
01. These to organize bed linens. Can you imagine. I have ambitions to achieve this level of tidiness.
02. Odor-removing candle. (Has anyone tried this? Intrigued for the day after we prepare fish in our kitchen…)
03. Glass jars for organization.
05. Shower squeegee in a beautiful gold finish. Stylish enough to leave out!
06. Refillable glass spray bottles. (Mix your own cleaning solution!)
07. Brick red dustpan and broom set.
09. Minimal design soap dispenser. We have these in our kitchen!
10. Wired pantry baskets are my go-to for organizing bulky items and dirty kitchen towels.
14. Wall mount for storing mops, brooms, etc.
15. Hachiman bucket.
16. Wooden toilet brush + a concrete holder.
18. Sensor-operated waste bin in different metallic finishes.

I’m looking for a good sensitive skin laundry soap for my top loading machine. They usually are free of scents. Any ideas????
Hi! My MIL swears by Persil and they have a free and clear version that might be worth investigating! Hoping some other Magpies have recs here, too!!
