Cleaning can sometimes feel like a waste of time, but it should never be a waste of resources. Here’s a list of our favorite eco-friendly cleaning products. If you buy something using our links, WIRED may earn a commission. wired.trib.al/Sxq4p38 1/
Our top pick is Supernatural. Might be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. The products smell amazing—like fresh botanicals, not artificial or chemical like other cleaning solutions. The bottles are made of glass and the nozzles don't clog. wired.trib.al/XHbfpsW 2/
Ditch the paper towels. Marley's Monsters Unpaper Towels are the way to go. These bright cotton flannel towels are durable and really absorbent. Much like paper alternatives, you can roll them up on a cardboard tube. wired.trib.al/vKFSbHR 3/
Not a fan of liquid detergent? Dropps Biodegradable Laundry Detergent Pods smell fantastic, work with high-efficiency (HE) machines, and are made of plant-based ingredients. Also, shipping is both free as well as carbon-neutral. wired.trib.al/MlCuFVj 4/
Stains are the worst. We tried Defunkify Stain Remover Spray on blood, coffee, red sauce, and makeup. It removed them all. It’s plant-based and doesn't contain common irritants typically found in other stain removers. wired.trib.al/63GSyQT 5/
From the biggest tech companies to the best laptops. Our journalists deliver the story.

The McDonald’s ice cream machine is notoriously fickle. Like an Italian sports car, it’s efficient and powerful, but temperamental and fragile. Two entrepreneurs invented a device to improve them. Then things got weird 1/
Photos by Gabriela Hasbun wired.trib.al/fw0OVcf
This all started with the Frobot. A decade ago, Jeremy O’Sullivan and Melissa Nelson invented an automatic frozen yogurt dispenser built around a Taylor soft-serve machine—the same kind used by McDonald’s restaurants. But they found it was constantly breaking 2/
In fact, the Taylor ice cream machines inside McDonald’s are infamous for being constantly out of order. According to stats collected by the website McBroken.com, between 5% and 16% of all US McDonald’s ice cream machines are offline at any given time 3/

In 2019, @LaurenGoode canceled her wedding and ended an eight-year relationship. But the painful decisions didn’t end there: As an avid user of technology, she found that it was impossible to escape the digital remnants of the relationship 1/ wired.trib.al/Mr98Ziw
For months afterwards, Goode saw wedding-related ads, anniversary reminders, and photo memories of her ex on all of her devices. Pinterest continued to suggest collages of wedding paraphernalia. Even her Apple Watch would surface painful memories. 2/
Pinterest has an internal name for this: “The miscarriage problem.” Algorithms show people more of the content they’ve searched for, but don’t always take into account when a life event ends—when the wedding is canceled, when the baby isn’t born, or when someone passes away. 3/

It's late, you're tired, you know you should go to bed, and yet you continue to doomscroll deep into the night. Why? You’re procrastinating.

That may seem obvious, but there are deeper factors at play 1/ wired.trib.al/f4R8Avt
Sleep procrastination was first introduced in a 2014 study, which defined the act as “failing to go to bed at the intended time, while no external circumstances prevent a person from doing so.” Since the onset of the pandemic, it’s been dubbed revenge bedtime procrastination 2/
The phenomena is common in people who feel they don’t have control over how they spend their day (such as those in high-stress occupations) and, driven by a sense of retaliation, are looking for a way to regain some personal time 3/

Writer/Producer/Director Ava DuVernay can add advocate to her long list of credits. @ava says everyone deserves a place on set. And that is why the Emmy Award winner, Golden Globe, and Oscar-nominee is a #WomensHistoryMonth honorees 1/ Image
She’s helping make Hollywood more inclusive.
DuVernay says when she’d ask why most film and TV sets looked the same, she’d get the same answer. “The industry often tells us they’ve looked for Black folks, people of color, and women crew members, but simply can’t find us.” 2/
So this year, in direct response to that excuse, DuVernay launched @ARRAYNow, a database full of diverse creative talent. It's an equal opportunity hiring platform, with a mission to support professionals in the film & television industry from underrepresented populations. 3/
