Corrections Policy

Homeowners make real decisions based on our guides, about safety, about cleanup and about what to spend. When we get something wrong, we fix it quickly and say so openly.

This page explains what we treat as an error, how to report one, and how you’ll know when a guide has been corrected. It works alongside our Editorial Policy, which describes how we research guides in the first place.

What we treat as an error

We want to hear about anything in a guide that is inaccurate, out of date or misleading.

We correct

  • Wrong facts, figures, costs or measurements.
  • Safety guidance that is incorrect or incomplete.
  • Product details that are wrong, or products that have been discontinued or recalled.
  • Guidance that has changed since we published, such as updated federal agency advice.
  • Sources that are misquoted, misattributed or no longer support what we wrote.
  • Broken links and missing affiliate disclosures.

We also welcome

  • Disagreement with a recommendation or product choice. It isn’t an error in itself, but if your reasoning or evidence is strong, we’ll review the guide.
  • Suggestions for missing information or topics. Send these to hello@gladewick.com.

How to report an error

Email support@gladewick.com with “Correction request” in the subject line, and include:

  • The link to the guide.
  • The sentence or figure you believe is wrong.
  • What you believe is correct and, if you can, a source that shows it.

You don’t need to be an expert, and you don’t need a source to report something that looks wrong. We’ll check it either way.

Report an error

What happens after you report

  1. We log and prioritize it

    Every report is read by a member of our team. Anything that affects someone’s safety is handled first.

  2. We check it against the source

    We go back to the primary source, such as agency guidance, manufacturer instructions or product labels, rather than taking either the report or our original text on trust.

  3. We fix the guide

    If we got it wrong, we correct the article and review nearby guides that may contain the same mistake.

  4. We note the change

    Significant corrections are noted on the article itself, as shown below. We don’t quietly change facts.

  5. We reply to you

    We let you know what we found and what we changed. If we decide the guide was correct, we explain why.

How you’ll know a guide has changed

We label changes according to how much they matter to you.

  • Safety corrections

    An error that could affect someone’s health or safety. The note appears at the top of the article, so readers see it before anything else.

    Safety correction (date): An earlier version of this guide said [what it said]. That was wrong. [What is correct, and what to do if you followed the earlier advice.]

  • Corrections

    A factual error, such as a wrong figure, cost or product detail. The note appears at the end of the article.

    Correction (date): An earlier version of this guide stated [what it said]. The correct figure is [correct information].

  • Updates

    New information, such as changed guidance, new products or updated prices. The article’s “updated” date changes and a short note explains what’s new.

    Updated (date): We added [what was added] and revised [what was revised].

  • Minor fixes

    Typos, grammar, formatting and broken links that don’t change the meaning. We fix these without a note.

If a guide turns out to be wrong at its core, we rewrite it or take it down rather than patching it, and explain the change.

We don’t wait for reports

Our team reviews published guides when guidance, products or prices change. When our own checks find an error, it gets the same correction note as one a reader reported. Sameer Patel, Founder & Editor of KCS Global Group, is responsible for this policy and for making sure corrections are carried out. You can read more about our team on our About Us page.
