HAPPY PLACE CLEANING SERVICES’S FAIR CONTENT COMMITMENT

At Happy Place Cleaning Services, we are committed to providing our readers with fair and accurate information about the places, items, and concepts we love. Your trust is paramount to us.

Our content is purely editorial, crafted by Happy Place Cleaning Services editors who feature places, items, and concepts we genuinely believe are worthy of your time, energy, and money. Importantly, no one can pay to be included in our editorial content.

Occasionally, we may receive a preferential editorial rate or a complimentary experience as part of our review process. However, this does not influence our coverage decisions; we only include content that meets our standards and is Happy Place Cleaning Services approved. We will never suggest or recommend sub-par experiences.

We also use selective affiliate links, which means Happy Place Cleaning Services may earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links. The price you pay remains the same, whether you click through from Happy Place Cleaning Services or go directly to the vendor’s website. We only use affiliate links for items we love and would include regardless.

By maintaining these practices, we aim to uphold the highest standards of editorial integrity and transparency.

HAPPY PLACE CLEANING SERVICES PRODUCT COLLABORATIONS AND SPONSORSHIP

At Happy Place Cleaning Services, collaborating with designers, labels, and brands we love is integral to our identity. We curate exclusive products that resonate with our audience through these partnerships. It's important to note that while we receive a portion of sales from items sold on Happy Place Cleaning Services, these collaborations are initiated solely based on our genuine interest in working with these entities; no one can pay to collaborate with us.

Occasionally, Happy Place Cleaning Services partners with brands to present unique sponsored content, for which we receive compensation. We are committed to transparency and will always inform you when content is sponsored. Only brands we trust and believe in are selected to sponsor our editorials, and all content is authentically crafted by Happy Place Cleaning Services editors—sponsors do not write our editorial content. Any paid or sponsored links embedded within our content will be clearly identified as such, ensuring full disclosure.

By maintaining these practices, we aim to uphold the highest standards of editorial integrity and transparency.
