The best Amazon Prime Day household essentials
Now is the opportune time to grab products from big brands such as Lenor, Fairy, and AirWick for heavily discounted prices. But we understand that with so many deals on offer, it can be hard to know what to buy. That’s why we’ve put together our top picks for the best Amazon Prime Day household essentials.
Lenor Laundry Perfume In-Wash Scent Booster Beads (6 pack) | Was £34.50, now £21.30 at Amazon
No matter if you want to stop your clothes from smelling damp when you dry indoors or if you just want to add another layer of freshness to your laundry, scent boosters will definitely get the job done. You can save over £10 if you buy a 6-pack this Amazon Prime Day - and with a discount like that, you should definitely be able to find space in your utility room to keep these safe for the next year.
MR.SIGA Microfibre Cleaning Cloth (24 pack) | Was £19.99, now £13.99 at Amazon
Cleaning cloths are a household staple every homeowner needs. Having them in the cupboard ready to use whenever you need to clean your hob or your sofa is always a good idea, as you’ll never be left short-handed when you have to deal with an unexpected spill. This 24-pack will certainly keep you going for a few months, too. Our Editor Heather Young has these and says: 'I colour-code my cleaning and use different colours for different cleaning tasks around the house.'
L'OR Favourites Assortment Nespresso Compatible Coffee Pods (80 pods) | was £27.92 now £19 at Amazon
Is there anything worse than running out of coffee for your best coffee machine? No, we thought not. That’s why we’d suggest that everyone stock up on some extra coffee pods this Amazon Prime Day. These L'OR Favourites are Nespresso-compatible and also come in eight different flavours. Plus, they’re extremely affordable at just under £20 for 80 pods.
Dettol Antibacterial Biodegradable Surface Cleaning Disinfectant Wipes (330 wipes) | Was £10.50, now £7.19 at Amazon
Whether you have kids or you’re just a little clumsy in the kitchen, having disinfectant wipes on tap is essential for a clean and germ-free household. This Amazon Prime Day, you can pick up a pack of 330 wipes for just £7.19 - and if that’s not enough to make you buy a pack (or five) then we’re not sure what will be.
Calgon Antibacterial Gel Hygiene Plus Refills (3 pack) | Was £34, now £25.49 at Amazon
If you have a washing machine at home, you’ll know that it can get pretty smelly - and this can, in turn, make your clothes smell. Combat this by stocking up on washing machine cleaner refills and ensuring that you never run out again. And with a discount of almost £10 for a pack of 3 refills, how could you resist?
Command Picture Hanging Strips | was £11.97 now £9.59 at Amazon
Whether you live in rented accommodation or you can’t use power tools, Command Strips are a household essential that everyone should have lying around in the drawer. After all, you never know when you’re going to use them! This pack comes with both medium and large strips, allowing you to hang everything from smaller wall art to larger mirrors.
Fairy Non-Bio Platinum PODS (120 pods) | Was £36, now £24.55 at Amazon
If you’re well and truly team liquid laundry detergent in the liquid vs powder debate, you’ll know that using pods is often the easiest way to keep your clothes (and your washing machine) smelling fresh. If you’re also on team non-bio, you can pick up a whopping 120 pods for just under £25 this Amazon Prime Day. So, if you wash your clothes just once a week, you’re set for over two years!
Amazon Basics AAA Alkaline Batteries (40 pack) | was £11.94 now £9.46 at Amazon
There’s nothing more annoying than buying a new gadget on Amazon Prime Day and forgetting to buy the batteries to go with it. So, take this as your reminder to stock up on batteries during this discounted event. These Amazon Basics will definitely do the trick, and they’re an absolute bargain, too.
Air Wick Smooth Satin & Moon Lily Freshmatic Auto Spray Refill (4 pack) | Was £17, now £11.40 at Amazon
Air Wick is often at the top of our best air fresheners list, and if you already have the Freshmatic at home, it might be a good idea to pick up some refills during this day of discounts. Although there are so many different scents to choose from, there’s something about the ‘Smooth Satin & Moon Lily’ that we can’t get enough of.
Presto! 3-Ply Quilted Toilet Tissues (45 rolls) | Was £27.15, now £23.08 at Amazon
As a nation, we’re used to bulk-buying toilet paper. But now it’s socially acceptable to stock up on this household essential again, there’s no better time to ensure that you never get caught short in your house. For 45 rolls of this 3-Ply Quilet Toilet Tissue, you’ll only have to part with £23.08 of your hard-earned money. That’s just over 50p a roll!
PawPride Biodegradable Dog Poo Bags (240 bags) | was £12.99 now £10.39 at Amazon
Don’t forget about your pooch this Amazon Prime Day. Never run out of poo bags again by bulk buying your poo bags - and as we’re all about eco-living here at Ideal Home, we’d always recommend using biodegradable poo bags. For just over £10, you’ll be able to fill your dog cupboard with 240 bags that should keep you going for months.
Zoflora Linen Fresh Concentrated 3-in-1 Multipurpose Disinfectant (6 pack) | Was £32.70, now £22.49
A Mrs Hinch favourite, Zoflora has the ability to do everything - from helping you clean your toilet brush to cleaning your kitchen bin. And while you might normally buy this product individually, what’s the harm in stocking up in your cupboard? You can now buy a 6-pack of this 3-in-1 multipurpose disinfectant for just £22.49.
Spontex Thick Moppets (12 sponges) | Was £15, now £9.98 at Amazon
Now is the perfect time to stock up on the best Amazon Prime Day household essentials, and while you can certainly stock up on cleaning products, you also need a way to use these cleaning products - and that’s where cleaning sponges come into the picture! Stock up this Amazon Prime Day on these biodegradable extra thick sponge wipes to keep your home in ship shape.
Presto! Jumbo Kitchen Rolls (12 pack) | was £23.15 now £17.20 at Amazon
Kitchen roll is always handy to have around the house, even if you’re not the kind of person to spill your dinner all over your countertops. It’s also good to drain off excess oil on your food and even for cleaning your windows. But if you always forget to buy kitchen rolls at the supermarket, take advantage of this impressive Amazon Prime Day offer.
UniBond AERO 360° Moisture Absorber Refill Tab (2 pack) | was £8 now £4.90 at Amazon
It’s important to try and get rid of damp in your home, and these moisture absorbers can help to do just that. If you’ve already realised the impressive potential of this product, though, you might be in the market for some refills. As these refills are currently reduced by 39%, now is the time to snap them up.
Bolsius Cranberry Scented Tealights (18 pack) | was £5.28 now £4.49 at Amazon
Some may question whether tealights are essential - but what happens if there’s a power cut?! More than anything, tea lights are a great way to add ambience to your home. But with Halloween around the corner, it might be worth stocking up to make sure you have enough candles for your pumpkins, too.
With so many Amazon Prime Day deals on offer, there’s no better time to stock up on your household essentials. So, will you be joining us?
