Wayfair’s 72-Hour Clearout event offers up to 77% off (and sometimes more) on furniture and home goods, and it typically runs for three days. It consistently takes place in the summer (overlapping with Prime Day), plus it'll pop up a few other times in the year. We expect it back in August.

Love saving money at Wayfair? The Wayfair sales schedule is robust, with Wayfair deals and markdowns. Plus shipping is always free on Wayfair orders of $35 or more, so there are always ways to save.

Wayfair 72-Hour Clearout is a 3-day event that happens multiple times a year, with discounts on indoor and outdoor furniture.

Wayfair's 72-Hour Clearout events (one of which always coincides with Amazon Prime Day) include significant discounts on summer and outdoor furniture, home goods, and lawn and garden decor, among other product categories. While Wayfair advertises this sale as up to 60% off, we often find select items discounted by 70% or more. It's an ideal opportunity to refresh living spaces with furnishings at discounted prices.

KCL predicts the next Wayfair 72-Hour Clearout sale will start Aug. 23.

Wayfair 72-Hour Clearout Sale 2025 Date

How do we make our prediction?

Predicting the Wayfair 72-Hour Clearout is a bit of a shot in the dark, because for the first time in 2024, they ran this sale twice (in both July and August). Then they surprised us again with a version of this sale in January 2025, March 2025, and June 2025. So we think Wayfair will skip July this year and run the sale again in August, same timing as last year.

Past 72-Hour Clearout Dates:

  • June 21 - 23, 2025

  • March 29 - 31, 2025

  • Jan. 11 - 13, 2025

  • Aug. 24 - 26, 2024

  • July 16 - 18, 2024

Best Deals From the Last Wayfair 72-Hour Clearout Sale

To give you an idea of what to expect, here are some of our favorite finds during the last time Wayfair threw this sale in June 2025:

You can get an extra 10% off when you sign up for texts.

We just tested this on March 27, 2025, to confirm. You must be a new text subscriber to get the deal.

  1. Enter your number on Wayfair's homepage.

  2. Opt in to texts.

  3. You'll get a promo code that you can use for 10% off your next order.

You can get 5% back on your 72-Hour Clearout purchases if you're part of Wayfair's (paid) rewards program.

Wayfair has a rewards program, but it's not free to join (it's $29 a year). The main draw is the 5% back that you get in rewards. You'll earn back the $29 fee (through your rewards) after you spend $580. So if you're making a big haul during the 72-Hour Clearout sale (and plan to shop Wayfair after that), it could be worth signing up. We suggest pricing out your cart first to see if you'll hit that $580 threshold.

The rewards program also gives you free shipping with no minimum. But Wayfair has free shipping on orders over $35 anyway.

Save even more with Wayfair open box deals.

If you fall in love with something on sale, you may be able to find an even cheaper price with Wayfair open box deals. Wayfair's open box items are items that have been returned but that have been verified to be "like new." To find them, just type "open box clearance" into Wayfair's search bar.

Expect to get around 20% off full price when you shop open box, with bigger savings on the occasional item. One of our favorite Wayfair Open Box items? Bedding. We're talking queen quilt sets for as low as $25.

Just note you won’t be able to return your open box items unless they arrive damaged.
