Independent, unbiased testing since 1924. Good Housekeeping Institute put these CareCo products through the toughest testing process in the UK – and approved them.
What does this represent?
For over a hundred years, the Good Housekeeping Institute has tested products the way people actually use them at home, not the way a brochure describes them. Real testers put the product through real routines – all to find out whether it really does what it promises to do.
We’re proud that these CareCo products have now earned the approval of Good Housekeeping, recognised for their performance, ease of use and quality in everyday life.
The Good Housekeeping Testing Pillars
Every product approved by Good Housekeeping goes through the same rigour, whether it's a fridge or a fireside chair.
Lab tested
Each product spends time in the Good Housekeeping Institute’s own facility, where it’s put through structured trials designed to catch what a quick glance can’t.Home tested
Their testers use it the same way you would. And if it falls short, it doesn’t pass.A century of rigorous testing
Good Housekeeping have been testing products since 1924, so they know the difference between something that looks good on day one and something that still works years later.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Good Housekeeping Approved mean?
It means the product has been through the Good Housekeeping Institute's testing process and come out the other side with their tick of approval. GHI have been testing products since 1924, in a dedicated lab and in real homes, so you can buy with confidence.
How are products tested?
Products are assessed through a combination of laboratory testing and practical use in realistic home environments. The Institute evaluates how products perform in everyday situations before deciding whether they qualify for approval.
Does CareCo pay for approval?
No. The Good Housekeeping Institute carries out its own independent testing and only awards approval to products that meet its standards. CareCo cannot influence the outcome of the assessment.
