Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: May 2, 2026
📌 Quick Summary
HomeGlean earns a commission when you purchase products through links on our site. This does not affect the price you pay. We only recommend products our editorial team has independently selected and believes in.
1. What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a arrangement where we earn a commission when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase on a third-party retailer's website (such as Amazon, Walmart, or other merchants). This commission is typically a percentage of the sale price or a fixed amount.
Affiliate marketing helps support HomeGlean and allows us to continue providing free, high-quality content to our readers.
2. How It Works
When you make a purchase through our affiliate links:
- You click on a product link on HomeGlean
- You're redirected to the retailer's website
- You complete your purchase on that retailer's site
- We receive a commission from the retailer at no additional cost to you
The entire process happens on the third-party retailer's website. We have no access to your payment information, and we don't process your transactions.
3. Our Affiliate Partners
HomeGlean participates in affiliate programs from various retailers and brands, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates Program
- Target Affiliate Program
- Walmart Affiliate Program
- Direct brand partnerships
- Affiliate networks (ShareASale, Commission Junction, etc.)
We may have different affiliate relationships with different retailers, which means we may earn different commission rates on different products.
4. Editorial Independence
Our Promise to You
Our editorial team operates independently from our business team. Affiliate relationships never influence our editorial decisions, product recommendations, or ratings.
We will never recommend a product simply because it offers a higher commission. Our recommendations are based on:
- Real-life testing and hands-on experience
- Quality, durability, and value
- User reviews and feedback
- Alignment with our "lived-in home" philosophy
5. How We Identify Affiliate Links
To maintain transparency, we clearly mark affiliate links throughout our site. You may notice:
- Button labels: Buttons may include text like "Check Price on Amazon" or "Buy Now"
- Disclosure badges: Some product cards include small disclosure indicators
- URL tracking: Affiliate links often contain tracking codes (but you won't notice this as a user)
However, you should assume that any product link on HomeGlean that leads to a retailer may be an affiliate link.
6. Impact on Your Purchase
✅ What Affiliate Links DON'T Do
- ✗ They don't increase the price you pay
- ✗ They don't affect your warranty or return policy
- ✗ They don't give you worse customer service
- ✗ They don't change the product you receive
ℹ️ What Affiliate Links DO
- ✓ They help support HomeGlean at no cost to you
- ✓ They enable us to keep creating free content
- ✓ They track which products our readers are interested in
7. Price Comparison
When we show price comparisons, we always show you the best available prices. Being in an affiliate program does not mean we show inflated prices—the prices you see are the same prices available to all shoppers.
We encourage you to check prices across multiple retailers, as prices and availability can vary.
8. Your Support Matters
Many of the products and services we recommend are things we use ourselves or have thoroughly researched. When you purchase through our links, you're supporting:
- Our team of editors and researchers
- The creation of free, unbiased buying guides
- Long-term follow-up reviews and updates
- The continued operation of HomeGlean
If you prefer not to support us through affiliate links, you can always search for products directly on retailer websites—though we hope you'll consider supporting HomeGlean!
