Home Routines Made Easier: Favorite Kitchen + Cleaning Amazon Finds
If your cleaning routine feels like a struggle and dinnertime always sneaks up on you, a few well-chosen tools can make home life a whole lot easier—especially when they’re on sale.
Sometimes the best homemaking tools aren’t the trendy ones—they’re the ones that are just really practical and help you get dinner on the table or tidy the floors when the dog tracks in mud on a rainy day. If you’ve been meaning to upgrade a few essentials or streamline your routine, Amazon has some genuinely helpful deals this year!
I’m not big on overbuying – I try to be careful with my purchases and stay within my budget. And if you watch my YouTube channel, you know I’m always saying I don’t want to add clutter to my life so I try to mindful when shopping!

So, I want you to do the same thing! But if you’re needing new cleaning tools and it’s in your budget, Prime Day is a great time to grab some new household items.
So, here are a few practical tools that I either use or have on my own wish list—each one simple, sturdy, and perfect for keeping your home rhythms running a little smoother.
Kitchen Tools That Pull Their Weight
Crock-Pot 7-Quart Slow Cooker
If you’re a fan of set-it-and-forget-it meals, this is a good one – I have an older version of this. I love using mine for Sabbath lunch or busy weeknights when I just don’t want to think about dinner at 5 p.m. This one’s roomy, reliable, and on major markdown right now.
Lodge Cast Iron Skillet with Handle Cover
A cast iron skillet is a Southern kitchen staple for a reason. I use mine for everything from cornbread to skillet dinners. In fact, my cast iron is what I use every single day in my kitchen. It may not be fancy, but it does the job beautifully—and it lasts forever. Cast iron isn’t hard to take care of – despite what you may have heard! And well seasoned cast iron is naturally non-stick and healthy for you to eat off!
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System
If you’re trying to waste less food or stretch your grocery budget a little further, this vacuum sealer is a game-changer. It keeps leftovers, freezer meals, and bulk buys fresh way longer than zipper bags alone. It’s easy to use—just press the button, and it seals everything up tight. It even has a built-in roll cutter, so you can make bags exactly the size you need without the fuss.
Cleaning Tools That Make It Easier to Keep Up
Shark Upright Vacuum
If you’ve got pets, kids, or a husband haha, I’ve owned my Shark vacuum for years now. It’s one of the few I’ve used that has worked well long-term. Right now this one is around $120 off for Prime Day—worth grabbing if you’re due for a new one.
Bissell Little Green Machine
This one is a lifesaver for spills on the couch or carpet. It’s compact and easy to store. I don’t own this one, but it has great reviews! Bonus: it doesn’t take forever to set up or clean. It’s currently $40 off – plus there’s a $20.00 coupon you can clip!!
Yocada Outdoor Broom + Libman Tornado Spin Mop System
If your porch or kitchen floors take a beating, these are both solid picks. I love a good broom that doesn’t scatter everything around, and the Libman mop makes cleanup quick. I actually own and use the O-Cedar Mop and it’s on sale too! You can grab the O-Cedar Mop System here.
A Few Thoughts Before You Click “Buy”
If you’re anything like me, you want your home to run efficiently, without feeling like you need a hundred gadgets to do it. I try to be thoughtful about what I bring into our home. These items are the kind I keep reaching for week after week.
And honestly? Sometimes having the right tools can make the whole rhythm of your home feel calmer.
If you’re looking to simplify your days or reset your routines, I’d love to have you inside The Homemaker’s Society. That’s where I share more helpful routines, encouragement, and resources to help you manage your home with intention—not perfection.
Let me know if you grab any of these tools—I love hearing what works for you!
