A dirty window treatment doesn’t just spoil your view: It can also harbor dust, pollen, and mold spores, which all can exacerbate allergies. But luckily, curtains, blinds, and shades are much easier to clean than they look. Most people can get away with maintaining their window treatments by simply dusting them every few weeks. Deep-cleaning is typically needed only every five to 10 years (though every year or two works best if you live in a particularly dusty or humid environment or have pets).

Who cares about a bath mat? I mean really. Who cares? Those were my first thoughts when my editor asked me to write Wirecutter’s guide to them.

In The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, one pair of jeans miraculously fits an entire group of friends. The book and the subsequent film are fiction, but they may as well have been fantasy: Women’s sizing is a minefield, and there is no way the 5-foot-10 Blake Lively would fit into the same pants as the 5-foot-1 America Ferrera. It would be unbelievable for even one style to suit them both. And yet, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
