Heads up: ifEva Mendesever darkens your doorway, you’ll win major neat-freak points by polishing those doorknobs before she rings the bell.
And don’t stop there: “Any handles—especially refrigerator handles,” says the actress and entrepreneur, demand regular love. (Yes, she knows most people ignore them. No, that doesn’t let you off the hook.) “It’s wild how little attention they get,” Mendes adds.
She’s not messing around when it comes to clean—she’s actually a co-owner of Swedish-inspired home brandSkura Style. They’re famous forsmell-resistant spongesand “Skrubby” tools, basically designed for people who find vacuuming therapeutic.
Mendes—whose personal nightmare is scrubbing the shower because “that’s where the loose hair goes to party”—swears bySkura Style’s Wipe Envy microfiber cloths. They come in a 10-pack, survive up to 20 laundry cycles, and she uses them on literally everything, doorknobs included. She’s also the kind of DIY queen who whips up her own deodorizing sprays with essential oils and squeezes every last drop out of a lemon. “If I’m not eating it, I’m cleaning with it. When it’s done, I toss the rind in the garbage disposal as a natural freshener.” Below, in her own words, she runs through her other household MVPs.
Clean ingredients, zero perfume, luscious lather. Doing dishes just got dangerously enjoyable.
I know the rules say wear gloves and moisturize daily, but… I don’t. My mom never wore gloves at the sink, and dish duty always makes me think of her. Plus, I liketactile contact with my plates, and my Skura sponge feels so good in my hand it’s basically self-care.
It just feels right. Trust me, you’ll get it.
It’s clean in every sense of the word. I love the ingredients, the lather, the lingering lavender—and the matchinghand sanitizer sprayis chef’s kiss.
I reach for these constantly on mirrors, counters, sinks—you name it. And when I’m feeling extra fancy, I dampen one and add a drop of eucalyptus oil. Spa vibes, minus the spa bill.
