I'll be honest: Washing my actual pillows (not just the cases) used to be one of those chores I knew I should be doing, but rarely actually did. As long as my pillows were tucked inside clean pillowcases, I convinced myself they were fine. But that all changed after I came across this article on Apartment Therapy where three popular pillow-washing methods were put to the test.

Stainless steel is known for its shiny look and incredible durability, which makes it a great choice in your kitchen, whether we're talking stainless steel appliances or cookware. But when cleaning cooking residue and grease from pans or polishing off your stainless-steel fridge, it's important you don't reach for the paper towels since they can leave scratches and leftover fibers on the surface of the material.

Real silver cutlery has a lovely, old-world elegance to it, but it's also pretty vulnerable, which is why it's often stored in a velvet lined box and kept for special occasions. Even then, it needs to be polished regularly and treated with care. The conditions inside a dishwasher create a caustic environment that strips away the shine and leaves blotchy patches, literally tarnishing its beauty. If you want your silver cutlery to shine, take care and use the proper cleaning procedure.
