Affiliate Disclosure

The short version: if you buy something through a link on this site, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra.

How this site earns money

The Tidy Scout is a reader-supported site: when you buy something through certain links on this site, the retailer may pay us a small commission — at no extra cost to you. That commission is what keeps the research free to read.

As an Amazon Associate, The Tidy Scout earns from qualifying purchases.

What this does NOT change

• Our rankings. Products are shortlisted by research before affiliate links are ever added. Commission rates play no role in what we recommend or how we rank it.
• Your price. You pay exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate to the retailer directly.
• Our honesty. Every product listing includes drawbacks. A commission is never worth a reader's trust — readers who feel burned don't come back, and this site only works if you do.

Why we're telling you this

Because it's the law (the FTC requires clear disclosure of material connections), and because we'd want to know. If you have questions about how any of this works, contact us.
