About [ENTITY]

Who We Are

Kept Shiny is a reference site for US homeowners who want accurate, specific cleaning and maintenance information. Content is produced with AI assistance and reviewed by a human editor before publication. We have no sponsors and no products to sell.

What This Site Covers

We cover the cleaning, care, and maintenance of surfaces, materials, and fixtures found in a typical American home — floors, countertops, appliances, fabrics, metals, grout, glass, and more. The focus is on getting the right answer for what you actually have, not a general answer that assumes every kitchen counter or bathroom tile is the same. We explain how to identify materials when it isn't obvious, and we say clearly what products and methods will cause damage — staining, etching, discoloration, or worse. Most of that damage is permanent. We treat that fact seriously.

How We Work

Most cleaning advice is written to be safe to give at scale, which means it ends up vague. We try to do the opposite: start with a specific material, identify its properties and vulnerabilities, and give a recommendation that holds up for that material in particular. Where a method carries real risk, we say so upfront rather than burying it. We use imperial measurements throughout and US product names where relevant. We do not recommend something because it is popular or heavily marketed. We recommend it because the reasoning behind it is sound.
