We’ve got your kitty covered.

Dryer lint is known to cause house fires. And while this isn’t an episode of “Scared Straight,” we are here to shed (as it were) light on an important topic when it comes to home safety. Don’t worry, our PSA also comes with a solution: this dryer vent vacuum attachment from Amazon, which is currently on sale before Prime Day kicks off. Here’s why any home with a drying machine needs one.

Starting off the new year with new rugs could be just the refresh you and your home needs. Luckily, this typically expensive home essential is much more accessible thanks to Boutique Rugs‘ holiday sale, which is already on now. You can save 15 percent on thousands (yep, thousands) of styles by checking out using the promo code XMAS15. And if 15 percent doesn’t seem like much now, trust me: The savings on rugs priced as high as $100 to $1,000 definitely add up.

These aren’t your typical shapeless cushions.

My cat, housemate, and I live in a small apartment in a questionably secure walk-up — cue the violins.

Macy’s Cyber Monday deals have landed and the retailer is featuring some of the best deals of the season. With literally thousands of items on major sale, it can feel overwhelming to try to sort through it all — but that’s why we’re here. Not only are many of our tried-and-true, editor-adored favorites — from bedding to kitchen wares — included in these deals, but they’re at some of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen before.

The debate over real vs. artificial Christmas trees is one of the great dividers of the holiday season. If you’re one of those people who prefers artificial trees or doesn’t mind having both in your home, your use of an artificial tree is likely contingent upon how realistic it looks. For these reasons and more, we’ve decided to put a bunch of faux Christmas trees to the test to see how they stack up against the real thing… and each other.

I’ll venture to say purchasing a bath mat usually goes one of two ways. Either we opt for the cheapest one with the fastest delivery — knowing full well we’ll need to replace it soon, but accepting the consequences of bath time grime — or we go for the design-y, maybe even pricey one that speaks to the mood of our decor. If you’re not familiar with either route, congrats, you’re a sensible shopper.

Vacuuming tends to be a pretty time-consuming chore, but thanks to Amazon’s second Prime Day event this year, finding the best vacuum cleaner for the job doesn’t have to be. In fact, with the totally-worth-it ones on sale now, your new vacuum could end up being one of your most beloved home essentials, cut down on the time and effort spent on cleaning and even make it a satisfying experience.

Fall is here, winter is around the corner, and in a matter of weeks it’ll be time for those who celebrate to hang stockings on the chimney with care and set up ye ol’ Christmas tree. Thankfully, artificial Christmas trees these days aren’t as plasticky as many of us remember them being. Many are designed to be hyper-realistic and span the broadest imaginable range of tree types, from alpine fir to blue spruce.

Amazon’s (second!) Prime Day has arrived, and we’re welcoming the bonus opportunity this year to level up on bedding and create our perfect cozy sleep space, just in time for hibernation season. All-season comforters, cozy quilts, plush (or firm!) pillows, and, of course, mattresses are all marked down for one day only.

I’ve been a fan of my marigold Caraway cookware set since the color’s launch in 2020. The set has everything I could possibly need … but I also live in a very small apartment. My storage space is limited, my stove’s burners are miniature, and my beautiful cookware started to go unseen — or even ended up being stored inside my oven. In my little world of little space, even standard-sized cookware gets in the way.

Many of us home-shopping enthusiasts count on Amazon as a reliable source for all the essentials we could ever need to stock, decorate, fix, and furnish our homes. But, it’s also one of our favorite sources for essentials-in-the-making — things even we may not have known we needed.

Summer is wrapping up, and what better way to usher in all things autumn than by scoring some big home essentials for less? Luckily, it’s already time to take advantage of Labor Day weekend’s deals. There are tons of discounts on things like mattresses and rugs, but we’re paying close attention to deals on that one major investment piece of functional decor: the sofa.

A great rug has the power to completely transform a space. If you’re looking to give any room a refresh, there’s no better time than Labor Day weekend to take advantage of low prices. Thanks to ongoing discounts, scoring that cool checkered area rug you’ve been wanting or upgrading to a luxe Moroccan-inspired piece is a lot less daunting.

The resemblance between my grandma’s attention to detail — those you can see, at least — and my own is uncanny. I didn’t, however, get her same attention to the details you can’t see, so my methods for cleaning those deep, dark crevices were lackluster at best. So, when she recently pulled out her latest Amazon buy, I took furious notes.

Wayfair did the math on its most popular furniture and home decor items to celebrate its 20th anniversary and found which categories have been the most-loved over the years. Not only did the home retail giant name which products buyers have purchased the most over time — we’re talking over 15 million rug orders, 6 million accent mirror purchases, sofas with over 17,000 reviews, and so much more — they also did us all a favor and put them on sale.

Amazon Prime Day has arrived, and with it comes a plethora of deals on home essentials like bedding, mattresses, and pillows. The sale is dedicated to Prime members, but even if you’re not a member, you can still sign up for a free 30-day trial to shop these once-a-year markdowns. Brand names like Casper, Tuft & Needle, and Serta have select products on sale, and we’ve rounded them up along with the gamut of Prime Day deals on best-selling mattresses and pillows.

We may already be in the thick of backyard barbecue season, but thanks to Amazon Prime Day’s major deals (and 2-day shipping!), there’s no better time to break in some new outdoor furniture, decor, and essentials. Furnish your deck, add some character to your patio…whatever your outdoor oasis may ne…

If there were to be one thing I could love as much as my pets, it’s watching the messes they tend to leave behind disappear. Watching the Folex Instant Carpet Cleaner dissolve stains young and old from my rugs and upholstered furniture is so satisfying — I all but wait for the next stain I get to battle it out with.
