How to Get Your House in Shape for the Fall

Now that the kids are heading back to school, it’s important to consider how you can best update your home to keep your family healthy and safe all year round. One area often overlooked in the home is drinking water and at American Standard, we know just how important it is for you and your family to have easy access to clean, safe and fresh-tasting water. Our Saybrook Filtered Kitchen Faucet reduces 99.7% of lead, 96.9% of chlorine, and 92.6% of class I particulates* from your tap water at the push of a button. It also features an LED indicator light so that you’ll know exactly when the filter needs replacing.

Back to School means back to making lunches, playing chauffeur, and helping with homework, so it’s time to give yourself a well deserved break whenever possible. Thankfully, with American Standard’s ActiClean Self-Cleaning Toilet you can experience just that. This innovative self-cleaning toilet is equipped with a safe yet effective cleaning solution that cleans and removes stains with a simple press of a button. Featuring two unique cleaning cycles, Deep Clean and Quick Clean, you can enjoy a sparkling clean bowl without having to worry about spending time scrubbing and scouring. To help maintain a tidy bowl in-between ActiClean cleanings, the VorMax Flush Technology delivers a powerful scrubbing action, and has been tested and proven to clean 2x better than a conventional toilet.

Reinvigorate your home for the fall season with a sparkling clean bathroom. Have your faucets shining like new with simple yet effective deep cleaning solutions. To get out hard water stains or lime and calcium buildup, try using a soft-bristled toothbrush and baking soda to help lift stubborn grime without scratching or dulling your faucet.

If you find that your bathroom space is disorganized and filled with items that are no longer of use to you, it may be time to declutter. Attacking a cluttered vanity or cabinet can feel overwhelming but try doing it in stages to feel accomplished each step of the way. This could involve focusing on one part of the space at a time, or even one drawer at a time - whatever works best for you. Before you begin, it may be helpful to have containers defined for the following purposes to sort your items:

• Put away
• Fix
• Recycle
• Trash
• Donate

After you’ve decluttered your space, you may notice that you require additional storage space to properly store your belongings. American Standard’s Studio S Vanity is a great solution as it features two drawers conveniently sectioned for smart storage and organization. This vanity also offers unlimited versatility for a space that suits your personal style and needs perfectly.
