The comfiest seat cushions and a $9 kitchen scrubber: nine things you loved in April
This month you were busy getting rid of the stale winter energy with products to help with spring clean the house
silverguide.site –
In April, we hit the reset button. This month was reserved for cleaning, decluttering and refreshing our spaces, from testing Dyson’s new cordless vacuum by dumping granola on the floor to revamping our spring wardrobes based on celebrity stylists’ tips. We also reviewed the prettiest trash and recycling bin we’ve probably ever seen.
All our recommended products help you rid your space of winter’s stale energy – but some made a bigger impression than others. Below are nine of your most shopped products of April, based on the anonymous purchasing data we have access to.

Unlike your basic kitchen sponge, this plastic-free option is made to last. “I used it constantly for over a year and it barely showed wear,” wrote Karen Yuan, the Filter US commissioning editor. The brush is made of natural coconut fibers.
Many of you must’ve been stuck on dishwashing duty, as this Japanese scrubber was your absolute favorite item of April.
