The Good Housekeeping Institute
, or GHI, is the beating heart of our brand, where everything from slow cookers to sports bras is poked, prodded and put through its paces by our experts. On any given day in our west London lab, we could be testing the water-resistance claims of walking jackets by soaking them in the shower, or analysing hair swatches to see if a conditioner truly shines. We go to extreme lengths to ensure you can trust our product recommendations. We know the details matter. They’re what keeps your life running smoothly. Getting it right is simply good housekeeping.
Our expert testing team is made up of engineers, cosmetic scientists, food developers and chemists. They review thousands of products annually (3,548 last year, to be exact), with every item assessed against a strict set of protocols. Only those that pass get our endorsement, so when you see that GHI Approved logo, you know you can trust it.
