"Those of us who work at GHRI (the Good Housekeeping Research Institute) learn something every day. It&amp;#039;s not just the discoveries we make about which products really work\u2014and not\u2014but it&amp;#039;s the daily observations and casual comments that clue us in to how one of the engineers or chemists or food experts or other scientists uses products at home so they perform more effectively or efficiently It was from the casual aside that I found out yesterday from Sharon Franke, our Kitchen Appliances and Technology Director, that she never leaves the coffeemaker on to keep coffee warm. Instead, she sets the coffeepot aside and microwaves a cup of java later when she&amp;#039;s ready for more\u2014a strategy, she says, which keeps coffee from tasting bitter. And thanks to Kathleen Huddy, our Textiles Director, I now turn clothes inside out before buying, checking to see if the color of the lining and stitching is the same as the fabric (a sign of quality). When we evaluated bathing suits, I learned that red and blue are the colors most likely to fade...and so one more reason to buy black. Carolyn Forte, our Director of the Home Appliances and Cleaning Products Department, introduced me to Downy Wrinkle Releaser, a new staple in my home (and a lifesaver when you&amp;#039;re about to leave for work and discover your pants are wrinkled). The list of tidbits we all pick up here from each other goes on and on. And now that there&amp;#039;s this GHRI blog, we have a place to share some of our musings with you\u2014and you with us. As we talk about some of the fun, mayhem, and planning that goes on behind the scenes here at GHRI, please chime in and let us know what&amp;#039;s on your mind.
