In the spirit of being honest with you — the way I’d want a friend to be honest with me — here’s exactly how The Calm Roost makes money and what that means for you as a reader.
Effective date: June 3, 2026
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and advertising. The Calm Roost (thecalmroost.com) is operated by Fuente Empresarial S.A.S.
We display ads
The Calm Roost shows display advertising, primarily through Google AdSense. These are the banner and in-content ads you see around the Site. Ad revenue helps keep this site free for everyone to read. We don’t control exactly which ads appear — they’re served automatically based on factors like the page content and, where you’ve consented, your interests. To learn how advertising cookies work and how to opt out of personalized ads, see our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy.
We may use affiliate links
Some posts on The Calm Roost contain affiliate links — often to storage products, cleaning supplies, or organizing tools we’ve actually used. This means that if you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or not; the retailer simply shares a little of their margin with us as a thank-you for the referral.
As an Amazon Associate and a participant in other affiliate programs, we earn from qualifying purchases. These small commissions help support the time and work that goes into creating free content here. We’re genuinely grateful when you choose to use them, but you are never obligated to, and it never affects what we write.
Our opinions are always our own
Here’s my promise: I only ever mention products, tools, or services that I genuinely think are useful and that fit what we do here. A commission never buys a recommendation. If I don’t believe something would actually help you, you won’t find it on this site — affiliate link or not. Any opinions, reviews, and before-and-afters I share are honest and entirely my own.
When a post contains sponsored content or affiliate links, we aim to make that clear so you always know what you’re reading.
This is not professional advice
Finally, an important reminder that goes hand in hand with this disclosure: everything on The Calm Roost is general educational information about home organization and cleaning, not professional advice. Lena is not a certified professional organizer or licensed professional. Always follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions for any product, and evaluate any tool or technique against your own home and situation. You can read the full details in our Terms of Service & Disclaimer.
