ANSWERS – Home Quiz 12
- The Sunbeam Mixmaster, introduced in 1930, was one of the first affordable, mass-produced stand mixers for home use. Invented by Ivan Jepson, it featured twin beaters and multiple speeds, making it a versatile tool for home bakers. The Mixmaster simplified baking tasks, increasing efficiency and inspiring creativity in home kitchens, solidifying Sunbeam’s reputation for innovative appliances.
- Home composting gained popularity in the late 20th century as environmental awareness grew. Composting transforms kitchen scraps and yard waste into nutrient-rich soil, reducing landfill waste and decreasing methane emissions. This practice not only enriches garden soil but also supports sustainable living by recycling organic matter, making it a vital component of eco-friendly home gardening.
- The first automatic dishwasher was invented by Josephine Cochrane in 1886. Frustrated with chipped dishes caused by hand washing, Cochrane designed a machine that used water pressure to clean dishes. Her invention, showcased at the 1893 World’s Fair, eventually led to the modern dishwasher, transforming home kitchens by saving time and improving cleanliness.
- Craftsman was founded by Sears in 1927 to offer high-quality, durable tools. The brand’s lifetime warranty and rigorous testing standards set it apart, making Craftsman a trusted name among DIY enthusiasts and professionals. Known for innovation and reliability, Craftsman tools have become synonymous with American craftsmanship and home improvement excellence.
- The trend of using reclaimed barn wood in home décor began in the early 2000s as part of the broader sustainability movement. Reclaimed wood offers a rustic, authentic look while repurposing materials that would otherwise go to waste. Its benefits include reduced environmental impact, unique character, and a connection to history, making it a popular choice for eco-conscious homeowners.
- The Roomba vacuum cleaner, developed by iRobot and launched in 2002, revolutionized home cleaning with its autonomous, intelligent design. Using sensors to navigate and clean floors, Roomba offered a hands-free solution to vacuuming. Its ability to adapt to different floor types and avoid obstacles made it a game-changer in household maintenance, popularizing robotic vacuum technology.
- The first self-cleaning oven was introduced by General Electric in 1963. It featured a pyrolytic cleaning cycle that used high temperatures to burn off food residue, reducing the need for manual scrubbing. This innovation made oven maintenance more convenient and less time-consuming, allowing home cooks to focus more on meal preparation and less on cleanup.
- The Fiddle Leaf Fig (Ficus lyrata) has become a popular choice in modern home décor due to its large, glossy leaves and sculptural form. Native to West Africa, it adds a touch of greenery and elegance to interiors. Proper care involves bright, indirect light, moderate watering, and regular dusting of its leaves to keep it thriving and looking its best.
