1. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner to refresh the drain — aka the place you pour all your leftover noodles that linger on your plate after dinner. Keep the garbage disposal squeaky clean so you can continue to use it in all your lazy glory.
Look at that foam go!
Promising reviews: "So far, we love this product. It cleans nicely, doesn't smell like chemicals, and it's easy to use." —Shannon
"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS

2. A container of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste that can tackle any scuff, stain, or mess like an absolute superhero. It's amazing for all surfaces and it won't leave behind any scratches once you're finished cleaning. It does such an amazing job at removing stains that you can give your arm a rest from all that intense scrubbing.
BTW, it's vegan!
Promising review: "This is a truly amazing product!! I was making New England clam chowder using evaporated milk. Before I had a chance to add my starches to prevent scalding, an emergency situation took me out of the kitchen...needless to say, by the time I returned the bottom of my favorite Faber Ware stainless steel pot was burned and scalded to a big, black, crisp!!! I tried my Dawn Powerwash, soaking it, SOS pads, Brillo....nothing was working!! Then I happened to remember I had ordered some of that "Pink Stuff" cleaning paste! I hadn't even taken it out of the box yet, but figured it was a good time to give it a try! It passed the test!! That burnt on milk didn't stand a chance!! It worked amazing! My pot looks brand new! I was so inspired, I even scrubbed my kitchen sink and it was amazing!!! Love this stuff!! Do not hesitate, order it, you won't regret it!!" —Jenna critelli

3. A set of cleaning K-Cups since we're "technically" supposed to clean our beloved coffee machines but odds are...we usually don't (guilty). These pods make it easy breezy to get a good descaling done without the mess of trying to use vinegar and do it yourself.
Promising reviews: "I love these! I used to spend hours running water through the machine after a vinegar flush! Not anymore with these little gems!" —angelwings
"I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West

4. A pack of Affresh washing machine cleaning tablets for keeping the machine that washes your clothes squeaky clean without having to clean it by hand. Who wants to wash their things in a dirty washer? Not me.
Promising reviews: "I love this product because it is so easy to pop it in the wash and run a cycle. It helps to clean out my washer, which I have a hard time with because of the hard water In our area. This product not only helps clean my washer but it has also helped to break down some of the mineral build up in the washer." —Lex
"I live in an apartment with truly terrible maintenance. My washer/dryer unit had to be replaced when the dryer started leaving rust streaks on my clothes, and first they brought me a replacement that didn't work at all. Then they brought me a working but DISGUSTING one that was full of somebody else's dirt, lint, and caked-on blue detergent. The washer had been left closed for an extended period of time, and even though it's not a front loader, it smelled utterly vile. The liquid detergent had both molded and then dried out to form a crust. Ewwwwww!!! I debated whether it was worth the effort of fighting with management further and decided I'd deal with it myself. (Yes, I know I should move rather than put up with this nonsense. It's just an awful lot of trouble.) I tried running a hot water wash, which helped a little. Bleach was some help too. Vinegar didn't seem to do much. After my home remedy tricks, it was better, but still not usable. Finally, Affresh fixed the mess. I got the tablets and the wipes and between the two, succeeded in getting rid of the grossness. So if you've got a college boy-level of disgusting going on in your washer, this will do the trick." —M

5. A car cleaning gel so you can rid your vehicle of dust and crumbs that have been lurking on your dashboard, in your air vents, and yep — in those cup holders. This slime-like putty can fit into even the smallest spaces to pick up debris. Bonus: This also works on laptops and keyboards!
Promising review: "Love this stuff! It’s way better and easier to use than wipes and I feel like it’s more effective. I do not recommend using it if it’s super cold in your car. Let the goo warm up a little. I tried to use it when the container was really cold and it kind of crumbles. Once it warmed up, it was back to its original consistency." —Shianne M.
Get it from Amazon for $6.88.
6. A jewelry cleaning brush if your precious gemstone jewelry is looking a bit lackluster. This will bring them back to life and have them sparkling like new with practically zero effort on your part.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

7. Dishwasher cleaning tablets for cleaning your (potentially smelly) dishwasher. These will do all the cleaning for you so you don't have to get on your hands and knees and stick your head into the depths of that stainless steel beast.
Promising reviews: "I use this every other week or so to clean my dishwasher to keep it fresh. Love this product and have it on automatic order. Would definitely recommend this product!" —Gale Lynsky
"Worked very well! We’ve lived in our home a while and small remedies haven’t done much to help clean the dishwasher. I finally decided to give a cleaner a try, and this one worked exceptionally well. The pics above are after one use of two packs (as per instructions for a particularly dirty washer). I'll definitely be getting more when I run out to help maintain a cleaner dishwasher!" —chocobeanie
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
8. A hand vacuum that's portable and can travel with you anytime, anywhere, i.e. your car, the closet, your pantry, or the living room. This'll help you pick up those hard-to-reach messes that the regular vacuum is just too big to grab.
Promising review: "Another 'TikTok made me buy' purchase. I absolutely love this thing. It helps with cleaning my daughter’s desk since she’s homeschooled, and it's easy to use to clean inside of drawers." —Manisha Roopnarine
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in four colors).
9. An internet-beloved pet urine stain-removing spray because a sprinkle of tinkle on the carpet is a big old no-no. This magic in a bottle just has to sit on the stained spot for a bit, and can then be blotted up with paper towels. It's also chlorine-free and color-safe.
Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.
Promising reviews: "I used this product to get rid of kitty urine odor! I LOVE that it does what it advertises! I thoroughly spray the areas and it has made the odor completely disappear!" —Kay Savant
"I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5 and $10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not house broken and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and more importantly the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelly
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
10. Or Bissell Stomp 'N Go Pads for tackling tough surface stains like wine, pet pee, mud, blood, and juice. Simply place the pad on the affected area, stomp on the pad, and then leave it be for 30 minutes. Once you peel it off the floor, your stain should have magically lifted — hallelujah!
Promising reviews: "Use these with any wet stain on the rug (made by dogs or people spilling stuff). You just put it on the stain, weigh it down with something, and then come back the next day to a spotless rug! The thing actually sucks the dirty wetness into it. Didn't work well on dirt or poop, but juice and pee were no problem. Even fixed a leftover vomit stain that a different cleaner left. Love these things for a quick cleanup." —Sasha Bear
"OMG I am SO HAPPY that they are making these again. They are the absolute best. Nothing comes close! I even called and wrote to Bissell twice when they discontinued this item asking them to bring it back. Then I bought all I could from Amazon and on eBay. Now they are back! I have an older dog who sometimes has accidents and NOTHING works as well and as easily as these. Some people say they are small but I say they are perfect! In fact, because they are relatively expensive, I cut these into small pieces and use just what I need. If you rub the pad into the carpet it will completely remove the stain. Stomp on it and leave it there. The stain will be gone. I seal the bag with a bulldog clip to keep the remaining pads moist." —kscoco
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.90.
11. Icebreaker — the best, most ideal way to freeze and utilize ice that keeps it sanitary. No more exposed ice cube trays; this keeps the ice contained (so no weird tasting ice from the smells in your freezer). When you want a few cubes simply pull apart the device and the ice will break apart making it ready to pour into your drinking vessel.
Icebreaker, a small business started by Danish engineer Kim Jensen, was created in Texas after Kim realized there had to be an easier way to get ice from an ice tray. He completely redesigned the tray and the Icebreaker was born!
Promising reviews: "You know that icky 'freezer taste' that you get from regular ice cube trays? Not a problem with this tray. You also don’t need to play roulette with where to place the tray so it doesn’t spill while freezing. It takes up very little space when compressed. Easy to use, very straightforward, we love it. Buying a second one and recommending to all our iceless friends." —Ariana
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).
12. An over-the-door hanging purse organizer so you can finally take them out of that lumpy basket at the bottom of your closet and make them easier to display and grab. This nifty organizer also rotates 360 degrees so you can get a good look at what bag will go perfectly with your next OOTD.
Promising review: "This has been a lifesaver for me! My purses are no longer all over the floor in my closet. They all fit nicely on here. I love this so much. The packaging was nice and everything came in perfect condition. I have about 10 purses on it right now and it's really nice and strong. It fits on my door perfectly but you do have to push on the door a bit in order for it to fully close and open. However, that is not a problem for me at all. It's very easy for me to see all my purses now and my closet is no longer a mess. From other reviews I've seen, I know this can definitely hold a lot of weight and way more bags then I have on it. I love the way it looks!" —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $29.95.
13. A Flush 'N Sparkle Toilet cleaning system to install in your toilet's water tank so your porcelain throne sparkles and shines with each and every flush, and you have to do basically nothing. These cartridges last up to three months!
Promising reviews: "I love this toilet cleaner! It works as promised. We have a terrible problem with hard water stains and they really stick to the toilet. The Flush 'N Sparkle has kept the hard water deposits from building up in the toilet. I’m thinking about buying a second one for my other bathroom." —Mary M.
"I have one of those water saver toilets. It was almost impossible to keep clean. While this cleaning system doesn't completely eliminate the problem, it helps a lot. Instead of needing to clean the bowl daily, I can clean it once a week. I liked it so much, I purchased one for my sister. One of the best features of this system is that it puts the cleaner directly into the water stream instead of into the tank. You don't have to worry about it attacking the metal parts of the tank. It was easy to install. It is real easy to install and replace the cleaning cartridge." —Mikkel
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
14. Or a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp for anyone who thinks, Why the heck am I going to clean my toilet today? I have better things to do. And you know what, you're probably right. This cleaning stamp will make your wildest ~I don't want to clean the toilet~ fantasies a reality by basically keeping it clean for you.
Promising reviews: "I love this product! Every time I flush, it has a great fresh smell." —cindy g osborne
"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet
Get it from Amazon for $4.67.
15. Baby cup catchers if you want to secure your little one's sippy cup or bottle and prevent it from hitting the germ-y floor. This attaches around their drinking vessel and clips right to their high chair or stroller so you won't have to worry about leaving their bottle behind (or it getting gross for that matter). You can also use it for toys, teethers, and plushies.
Promising review: "I love this bottle holder! Toddlers throw everything and with this product attached to the bottle and strapped to a high chair for example, you don’t have to get up to pick up the bottle. Not the best articulation but you get the idea right? #mombrain" —Randi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $20.99 (available in five colors).
16. Sheet pan dividers so you can cook multiple items at once with ease. These are all separate pieces so if you're cooking multiple items and one is ready before the other, simply pull that one divider out no problem. These are also microwave-, dishwasher-, and oven-safe.
Prep'd, the small biz that created these handy dividers, was founded in 2015 by two industrial engineers who believed cooking should be simple, easy, and ultimately fun.
Promising reviews: "These work amazing! This is my second set and I love them so much." —Caitlyn Welschmeyer
"These are great for so many reasons. We're in a mixed gluten household (one person has celiac and is diabetic, but we are not all doing a gluten-free diet). We can portion control for carb counting and separate out gluten-free vs. none on one pan. Plus, cleanup is just throwing in the dishwasher!" —J Fans
Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.
17. A pet hair remover if your upholstery is starting to look like it's covered in shag from your pets shedding so much. Roll this bb around and pick up every last piece of hair. Even for the laziest of peeps, you'll probably find some joy in using this rolling contraption on your furniture. #Satisfying
Promising review: "This is the best pet hair remover I have ever used. I have tried so many and even have a motorized pet hair attachment for my Dyson. Nothing has ever gotten all of my cat's white hair out of my brown microfiber couch until now. I love the ChomChom so much. It's easy to use, easy to clean, and it WORKS! I even use it on my black pants. The sticky tape rollers leave behind hair!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
18. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner to tackle the gunk and stains that have been overstaying their welcome in your tub or shower. Spray it on, let it sit for a few hours (some reviewers left it on for 24 hours), and then rinse or wipe it clean! Yes, it can be THAT easy.
Promising reviews: "Love this baby. I hate getting in and scrubbing the shower. This bad boy is as simple as spray, forget, and rinse. The longer you leave it on the better it works. I usually wait about 15 hours or so, and spray it down with my shower head. It has made upkeep a lot easier." —Celeste
"I have been having shower draining issues so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
19. A natural fabric refresher in case you're on the go and don't have a washer nearby. It eliminates odor on fabric surfaces so while you're spraying your clothes, you can also spray your couch for a nice refresh.
Garma Guard is a family-run small business that was created by a US Army veteran to remove odor-causing bacteria from clothing, a problem both he and his wife, a nurse, dealt with. *Bonus* this was featured on Shark Tank!
Promising reviews: "I love this spray for work. I am always highly recommending this product to my coworkers. It really gets rid of terrible odors such as cigarette smoke, and decay. It doesn't just mask the smell, it really does erase the odor and replace it with a pleasant scent. Bonus is that it also sanitizes my equipment and you can use it for all materials and objects." —Amazon Customer
"Bought this the night that I saw them on Shark Tank. The item works great! Has a great smell to it. I sprayed a pair of my husband’s shoes and the smell came right out. I will definitely buy again!" —Cassie
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in a two-, four-, six-, and 12-pack).
20. A dog paw cleaning device because the muddier it gets outside, the more you may find dark brown tracks on your precious carpets and hardwood floors. Well, not anymore. This easy-to-use cleaning device only requires you to gently pop your pup's paw in and out a few times for perfectly clean paws (as opposed to chasing them around the house with a towel).
Promising reviews: "I really love this product. I use it around three times a week, depending on the weather and my puppy's muddy paws. It's very easy to use and clean, and saves a lot of time cleaning her paws." —Diana
"Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer that likes to dig, a mini golden doodle that is picky about her paws, and a standard labradoodle puppy that is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws now. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
21. A splash catcher mat in case you're a hurricane when it comes to cleaning dishes at the sink and manage to flood the entire sink area with gross dish water. This splash catcher mat will make your "post dish-cleaning sink cleanup" a breeze.
They're machine washable, too!
Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon based small biz featuring beautiful and customizable hand-sewn goods!
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. Made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care. Highly recommended!" —Alina
Get one from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
22. An elegant earrings display because that jewelry dish you have them currently piled up on is not conducive for accessorizing when you're in a rush and desperately need some ear candy. Now you'll be able to see everything and think, Wow, I have ~options~.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this jewelry holder!!! I was trying to decide between this white one or the black and I am super glad I chose the white. The white with the light wood at the bottom looks absolutely perfect together. It is super sturdy and definitely fits all of my jewelry (for now!) when I have too much jewelry I will be buying another one!I am so happy I bought this and tell anyone who is hesitant, just buy it!" —Gail
Get it from Amazon for $10.98+ (available in five colors).
23. A dishwashing spray since not everyone has the luxury of a dishwasher and a few spritzes of this cleaner will make scrubbing even the toughest baked-on grease off your plates superrrrr easy.
Promising review: "I love this stuff so much! I use it for EVERYTHING! I sprayed it on a part of my stove up top where grease from cooking had just accumulated and I tried to get it back to its former glory before with NO luck. I sprayed some of this on it and it came back two minutes later and my husband was like, 'Wow, is that coming off?!' I looked and was amazed!!! It was melting it right off the stove!!! This stuff is powerful and the scent is AMAZING. Now I use it to clean everything lol." —Tawny
Get a bottle and three refills from Amazon for $23.90.
24. A ramen cooker so you can cook all the noodly goodness in under three minutes. Then when you're done, pop it in the dishwasher for safe cleaning.
Rapid Brands is a small biz whose rapid cookers will make cooking meals for yourself an absolute breeze. They're dishwasher safe, microwavable, and BPA-free. *Bonus* this was featured on Shark Tank!
Promising reviews: "I really love this ramen maker. I always eat soup and this maker is cutting down my time of making ramen in half, so I love it." —imanni
"I actually bought this Rapid Ramen Cooker to give to a relative as a gag gift! This person loves ramen so I thought it would be funny. I have to say that this gag gift turned out to be quite a handy little tool! It is the perfect size for ramen and allows you to cook it in the microwave in just three minutes. The neat thing is that the water line is marked so it takes the guess work out of it." —Patricia D
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in 11 colors).
25. A rapid egg cooker because cooking the perfect hard-boiled egg can be such a chore (and also difficult if you're not paying attention). The amount of times I have undercooked or overcooked a hard-boiled egg is ridiculous. I actually own this egg cooker and it is INCREDIBLE. I can put eggs in it to cook and go sit on my couch until they're done.
And of course all the nonelectric parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe, which means cleanup's just as low-effort as cooking.
Promising reviews: "I love this thing!! I'm in a fitness challenge, and eggs are a staple for me. I love poached eggs and wanted a quick way to cook them without having to stand over the stove." —Courtney Renae
"I saw this on a BuzzFeed list and, even though I am a fully functioning adult who has never had trouble cooking eggs, I had to have it. I have not been disappointed. It makes especially lovely, perfectly round omelets with minimal cleanup required. Hard and soft boiled eggs cook evenly and taste great. The poached eggs are tender and melt in your mouth over toast. As other reviews have mentioned, the timer alarm is LOUD. Like, a fire alarm mixed with an incoming nuclear missile alarm, but make it about 12 times louder. There's no way to turn it off, so prepare to muffle it up with some cotton and tape if you want to keep your ears. It's the perfect kitchen appliance. I grin from ear to ear every time I use it." —Sonnet A. Fitzgerald
Get it on Amazon for $16.99+ (available in eight colors).

26. A plant fertilizer in case you're not particularly gifted in the "keeping plants alive for longer than a month" category. This "plant food" will keep them thriving or revive them back to life.
Promising reviews: "My monstera had stopped growing and shooting out new leaves. I’ve been fertilizing as I water (every 1.5 weeks or when my top soil is dry) and already five new leaves!!!! Will definitely buy again! Just follow instructions on the back. Love this!" —Joann
"I have a ton of indoor houseplants that I got over the fall/winter, so I wasn't using fertilizer since they were all dormant. Now that it's spring/summer I needed to purchase a fertilizer to encourage growth. I came home one day and saw one of my birds nest ferns was drooping and looked like it was dying. I ordered this fertilizer and watered/fed it the next day. These pictures are about 24 hours apart. The fertilizer perked the poor guy right back up!! This stuff is a great value and super easy to use. So happy with my purchase. Thanks for saving my plant!!!" —Melissa C
