The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 23 July 2026 Leave a Comment

Count me in as a definite maybe: Swiffer Lemon dusters. "Swiffer created the new Swiffer Lemon Duster to add a bit of joy to one of America's most disliked household chores. While consumers love the feeling of a clean home, many dislike dusting and often put it off. By combining Swiffer's trusted dust-removal performance with a refreshing lemon scent, this new product helps transform dusting from a chore consumers avoid into a more satisfying cleaning experience", available in regular and heavy duty refills and starter kits. Target has the heavy duty refills for $15 for a box of 11.

Fresh, calming notes of sandalwood and lavender

Testers also liked The Laundress Beauty Sleep — a detergent meant for washing sheets and linens — and its fresh, calming notes of sandalwood and lavender. The fragrance easily lasted for a week on bedding, which was appreciated, and several testers ended up using Beauty Sleep on all of their laundry.

Detergent to make your clothes smell like food

Posted by Robin on 1 November 2025 Leave a Comment

 "We haven’t traditionally done fragrances that are gourmand, but we wanted to bring something fruity and fun [to market],” founder Ian Blair says. He was concerned that gourmand scents would be “too edible,” by which he means he didn’t want his detergent to make your clothes smell like food. He needn’t have worried. “It’s been a very well-received fragrance,” he says. “In fact, out of all of our limited edition fragrances, it’s the one that’s sold the fastest.”
