From dishwasher tablets to velvet hangers, all the best Amazon Prime Day household deals you'll actually use

An electric cleaning brush will revolutionise your household chores, saving you precious time and elbow grease – so they’re definitely worth the hype! Think of it like a large electric toothbrush that scrubs and buffs on demand, reaching into awkward spaces and leaving surfaces squeaky clean in seconds.

This Bosch model took the top spot in the Good Housekeeping Institute's best electric cleaning brush review, scoring 93/100. Plus. I’ve tried it myself and can’t fault it. It removed what seemed to be a permanent limescale film from my bathroom sink, left my hob gleaming and even tackled burnt stains on the oven floor. All the accessories are dishwasher-safe too so clean up is a breeze. It might not sound like much, but the 15% saving takes it to the cheapest it’s ever been at £46.11, I’m even thinking of investing ahead for Christmas.

I always seem to be low on dishwasher tablets, and every time I pick them up as part of the weekly shop, my card takes a significant hit at the check-out. So it only makes sense to stock up when there are savings to be had. I don’t have the space to store several packs, but one large pack containing 126 tablets is more than enough to keep me going – maybe even until the next Prime Day!

Fairy’s Platinum Dishwasher Tablets are currently 29% off, taking the price down to £20.49 for 126; that’s just over 16p per tablet.

And as a bonus, Fairy claims these tablets will help to clean your dishwasher at the same time.

Winner of our window vacuums test, this model left windows and tiles sparkly clean and streak free, as well as drying each surface in a couple of streaks. It lifted condensation from testers' bathroom mirrors in one swipe, and I can't get enough of mine. I even use it to dry my freshly clean hob after I've wiped it – talk about a multi-use tool!

Better still, you can bag this time-saving gadget for £33 less until midnight tonight. Your windows will thank you.

Velvet hangers are one of the best purchases you can make when decluttering your wardrobe. They take up less room on the rail compared to plastic, saving precious space. Plus they provide better grip for your clothes and don’t distort them like wire and plastic does.

I tried to buy some only last weekend, but they were out of stock everywhere I looked. So I’m definitely taking advantage of this Prime Day deal. These slimline velvet hangers are 24% off right now and are the cheapest they’ve ever been at £13.48. Couple them with wooden hangers for your suits and coats for the ultimate wardrobe.

Where it’s cheap, it’s always a good idea to stock up on laundry detergent too. Pods are generally the most expensive of the laundry detergent types (including powder, liquid and gel). So when I spotted these popular Ariel bio pods on sale for £24.55 with 32% off, they had to make the list.

You get two packs, giving you 120 capsules in total; that works out at just over 20p per pod. And with a bio formulation, you know the enzymes it contains will do the work for you, helping to break down the amino acids in protein-based stains, such as blood and egg. Ideal for stubborn stains and saving precious dosing time!

If you're in the market for a great mop, I recommend this GHI Approved one, which scored an impressive 95/100 in lab tests. Its spin technology means you don't have to deal with a dripping mop and the microfibre swivel head will get into every nook and cranny.

And if you prefer a non-bio detergent, or just want a more sustainable formulation, this deal from Ecover is worth checking out too. A 5-litre Non-Bio Refill is currently 23% off, priced at just £24.65. That gives you a whopping 142 washes (just over 17p per wash) and it comes with a pleasant lavender and sandalwood fragrance (ideal for keeping moths at bay).

As it's non-bio, it's not as powerful a cleaner when compared to a bio formulation, but for heavy stains you can improve the performance by soaking items with the detergent beforehand or turning up the temperature of the wash.

Note, this is the subscription price, which is a handy way to make sure you never run out of your favourite products. Simply select the number of products, your delivery frequency and a start date.

Speaking of removing stains, one product most of us will have under the kitchen sink is Vanish Stain Remover. And right now, it’s shockingly cheap for Prime Day at just £8.49 for a 1.5kg tub, down from £16.29 (that’s 48% off). Currently it’s £21.21 from B&Q by comparison.

This product is ideal for your colours but Vanish also offers one dedicated to whites which contains optical brighteners to help brighten the load. Thankfully that’s on sale too if you get a lot of stains on your whites!

I’m a real advocate for wool dryer balls; pop these into your tumble dryer and they’ll soften your clothes, reduce wrinkles and static too. Not to mention, they will speed up the whole process, saving previous energy.

There’s really no reason not to use them, and right now you can get six wool dryer balls in the Prime Day sale for just £7.99. Want to make your laundry smell even better? You can add a couple of drops of essential oils to the balls before you toss them in the drum.

Another cleaner I always keep on standby is this Dr. Beckmann Carpet Stain Remover. The design couldn’t be more convenient; you just apply in the solution directly using the built-in scrubbing brush on the bottle. Then wait a few minutes and wipe away once time is up. It lifts stains brilliantly and always comes to the rescue with sudden spills.

Right now, you can stock up and get two bottles for just £5.80 this Prime Day. If you’ve got pets, then Dr. Beckmann’s Pet Stain & Odour Remover is also handy to have on stand-by.

Some of us use the washing machine daily, or if not at least weekly. Yet, few of us take the time to clean the appliance. This results in residual soap scum breeding bacteria after each wash, encouraging smelly laundry. That’s why you need a dependable cleaner to hand that you can routinely run through the machine.

Calgon’s 4in1 Power Tabs are ideal for preventing dirt, rust and odours. Plus, they help to soften the water, deterring limescale, which will also take its toll on this appliance. And right now you can get 75 tablets for just £12.99 this Prime Day (that’s 54% off).

Finally, if you’re keen to declutter your wardrobe over the weekend, I strongly recommend buying some fabric garment bags to store items long-term. Look for a design that is breathable, with a viewing window, offering sealed protection from moths and damp.

I’m kicking myself now that I’m seeing these bags from Wellong in the Prime Day Sale for just £13.99; I only bought some garment bags a few weeks ago, and these look to be a better quality and a better length too.
