GH Institute's home appliances lab

Knock on the door at the Good Housekeeping Institute's Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Lab, and Director Carolyn Forte can advise you on just about everything: the best washer/dryer units, vacuum cleaners, and even detergents. Forte says her lab isn't just about product testing; it's about helping Good Housekeeping's readers with tips and tricks to get through their home care chores with ease. That, she says, is the bottom line.
