Perks and Rec: Deals for a clean house

Yesterday, I saw a singular yellow-orange leaf on the ground, and while it made me excited for fall, I also felt a sense of dread: it’s almost time to break out the rake.

If your leaf-cleaning tools aren’t up to par, we recommend grabbing the best rake we’ve tried while it’s marked down. You can also get a leaf blower to make the job a little easier. We also think you should check the status of your year-round yard tools, like a hose or pruning shears , and pick those up if you need them.

When you come back from a hard day’s work, you want the inside of your home to be as clean as the outside. Our favorite air purifier can help with that. Pair it with this essential oil diffuser we love for a breath of fresh air in your home. Don’t forget the rest of your cleaning supplies—you can get a $10 gift card with the purchase of three home care essentials at Target today.

Happy shopping,
