OUR FAVOURITE AMAZON BUYS TO MAKE HOUSEHOLD CHORES A WHOL LOT EASIER

We don’t know about you, but the household chore list seems never-ending, even when we manage to tick off some chunky to-do items. Whether it’s the endless washing pile or simply keeping on top of the vacuuming, these mundane tasks can feel like such a burden in the minimal downtime you have around work and childcare. And as much as we love our little ones, they’re experts at being little tornados in the home. Anything that can help us keep on top of the chaos and make life that bit easier is a big win in our eyes.

Thankfully, there are some products out there that can help make the Sunday reset a breeze. Closer’s Editor, Katie Banks, and Lifestyle Editor, Neeru Sharma, have pulled out their favourites from Amazon that’ll serve as a saving grace in the hubbub of everyday life.

Philips HomeRun 7000 Series Robot Vacuum Cleaner

Vacuuming is one of those household chores we can’t stand, but thanks to the Philips Robot Vacuum Cleaner, it’ll do the hard work for you. Music to our ears. This handy gadget can be operated from your phone and can clean all your floors – both carpet and hardwood – and can even raise itself over thresholds to go between rooms. It has strong suction for picking up dirt but also has a mop function to remove more fine dust than vacuuming alone. And don’t worry, its sensor will mean it won’t try to vacuum up the family cat.
