Keeping a home running smoothly is no mean feat. It can often feel as though we have hundreds of chores and jobs to worry about, nevermind how much it is costing us on top of it all. But, that’s where Amazon’s sale event of the summer comes in.

So keep reading to find out more about the sale event of the season, plus some tips on how you can save big on your household essentials, and some handy deals you can shop for right now.

When will Prime Day household essentials deals start?

While Amazon has once again given the go-ahead for Prime Day to take place this year, it has yet to confirm the specific date. Never fear though, as thanks to our internet sleuthing we have a pretty good guess.

In recent years the sale has always taken place in July, excluding the years impacted by the pandemic, during which they happened in the less sunny month of October. So we feel pretty safe in assuming July will be the month to watch out for. If we had to guess based on previous Prime Day sales, the two-day event will likely start on either Tuesday 9 July or the following week on Tuesday 16 July.

Featuring in our round-up of the best toothpastes, our tester said it was the best one for clean-feeling teeth. “Our teeth not only looked cleaner, but felt cleaner too, and we suspect this is down to Oral-B’s four-pronged approach – the brand claims this toothpaste doesn’t just loosen, lift and lighten stains, but polishes and protects teeth, too,” they wrote.
