    Just 29 Things To Help Keep Your Home From Turning Into Shambles

    Between the dust, the clutter, and the pet fur, it's time to tidy your home with these helpful products.

    1. A pack of 12 pot and pan protectors in case you want a safer way to stack them in your cabinets, but don't want them to leave scratches behind in the process. These will keep your precious pans in good condition and allow you to maximize your space by nesting them inside of each other.

    2. A set of bedsheet holders because we all know the battle of them lifting off of the mattress. This will keep them in place so you don't have to struggle making the bed each morning.

    3. An all-natural surface scrub that'll have your countertops, shower, and sinks shiny and new. It features citrus essential oil that will smell lovely throughout your home and works hard so you don't have to.

    4. A set of Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets so you can wash the machine that does the washing for you. You wouldn't believe all the gunk and buildup that gets stuck in your dishwasher — with these tablets, you can ensure you'll keep it in great condition for many more washes.

    5. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers to effectively bridge the gap between your stove and countertop. This will prevent any unwanted crumbs from falling in to the dark abyss that can warrant little critters like ants.

    6. An eco glass pantry jar so you can be one step closer to organizing your ingredients and spices that are taking up space on your kitchen counter. Snag more than one so they look cohesive next to each other!

    7. An oven scrub if your roommate is still complaining about how dirty the oven is. You'll impress them with this 100% natural scrub. Pop it on and scrub away! *Use it for enamel ovens only!*

    CleaningStudio is a small business located in Fairfield, Connecticut, and sells 100% natural cleaning products. 

    Promising review: "I was skeptical because I had tried so many products to clean the glass on my oven doors with no luck. The auto clean cycle just baked it on the glass. THIS STUFF IS AMAZING! It took me about 15 minutes to get the glass on both my oven doors clean. Very minimal scrubbing effort required. I will be telling all of my friends." —Teresa Casner

    8. A Shoe Slotz Space-Saving Storage Unit that'll take your chaotic closet from messy to organized in a flash. These allow pairs of shoes to be stacked one shoe on top of the other instead of side by side (which takes up too much precious closet space)!

    9. Wood repair markers that'll be your new secret weapon when your dog takes to chewing the legs of your expensive dining room chairs. No need to have them re-stained, this marker will help.

    Promising review: "I can’t believe how well these work! Much better than I was expecting. I just had my home interior painted and the painters damaged a fiberboard medicine cabinet when they removed the masking tape. It ripped off the fake wood veneer. These markers completely filled in the ugly spots and the colors blended well. I love that it appears to have some clear coat in it too as it dries with a slight shine that makes it look more like wood stain rather than marker. I also used them to stain wood filler in two spots in my maple kitchen cabinets where a previous home owner had hung a paper towel holder and I really struggle to see the hole! It looks fantastic. I highly recommend this set. It’s a good value and works very well." —Shane

    10. A mold-resistant white grout pen if you've tried cleaning them but at this point the grout is just discolored. Use this pen to bring it back to life. One pen can cover up to 150 feet of grout.

    Be sure to clean your grout beforehand since this pen isn't a replacement for a cleaning! This will help you fix any stains that won't come off.

    There are 11 different grout colors available: white, winter grey, light grey, grey, dark grey, black, ivory, cream, beige, brown, and terra-cotta. You can view all the colors here.

    Promising review: "I have 12-inch white tile in my whole house that is 20 years old. Even though I have kept it looking nice, the grout still was getting dark. I cleaned the grout and let it dry good 'til the next day then used the grout pen. It looks like it is brand-new. One thing that I found out was that if the tip of the pen starts to look worn you can just pull it out and turn it over — it is the same tip on both ends. It will take some time to do the whole house but it looks so great that I will just do a section at a time 'til I finish. One other thing that I did was run my finger down the grout line after I apply the grout pen then wipe down the tile line with a paper towel so no other cleanup was necessary." —Amazon Customer

    11. A fabric defuzzer — perfect for refreshing that years old sofa or chair in your living room. If you've dealt with your pet scratching the heck out of your furniture, this will help remove all the fuzzies for a renewed look. 

    Promising review: "I didn't think it through when I threw some dark shirts and sweaters in the wash with a couple of light towels. They came out with all those fuzzies. I ordered one of these based on the price and customer reviews and I can see why this is rated so high. Since it's so portable, I just sat on the couch and shaved two shirts and a pair of cottony exercise pants while watching TV. I probably would have never worn these items (at least not outside the house!) again if it wasn't for this great little gadget." —Paula Nelson

    Get it from Amazon for $12.04 (available in six colors).

    12. A tub cleaner — ideal for jetted tubs because the gunk that builds up in them is disgusting. No one wants to be soaking in a tub of filth or have to call the plumber to handle it.

    Promising review: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong Clorox solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" —Rebecca J Flores

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    13. An easily hangable T-shirt organizer in case folding your clothes in a way that would make Marie Kondo proud is just not in your repertoire of talents.

    14. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner so you don't have to call the plumber about the funky smell coming from the sink. This will reduce clogging and those unwanted stanks.

    This gets rid of any odor, although it won't unclog your garbage disposal — for that, you'll have to call a plumber.

    Promising review: "Holy cow I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal. Very simple instructions, literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILA! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Anytime I get a whiff of an odor, all I do is drop one of those packs in the disposal and the smell is GONE! Plus the blue foam bubbling through the sink was amusing to watch." —VadersGirl

    Get 12 packets (which TBH will probably be enough for an entire year) on Amazon for $15.99.

    15. A conditioner and polish to spruce up those cabinets that were scratched when you moved in. Time for a fixer upper.

    Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs who jumped up and scratched places, we also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were, and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let is sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris

    It works both on finished and natural woods, including wood floors. Get a bottle on Amazon for $8.98.

    16. A TubShroom that'll assist in keeping your drain clog free by trapping all rogue hair and anything that probs shouldn't be taking a trip down there.

    17. A simple dryer vent cleaning kit and brush because odds are there is an overabundance of lint in your dryer vents that you don't even know is there. (You can even attach a drill to it for more cleaning power and efficiency.)

    18. An adjustable blind duster to clean tough-to-reach places like blinds and car vents from the rogue dust that can start to build up over time.

    19. A hanger stacker so grabbing a hanger for that new dress you bought can be easy and "fight-free." You know what it's like to try to tango with a jumble of twisted hangers...it's truly the fight of all fights.

    20. A silverware drawer organizer in case your utensil drawer is looking a bit wild and needs some order. Keep your different utensils in organized slots so you'll never have to wonder if you're grabbing a spoon or a fork ever again.

    21. An over-the-door shoe organizer you can use for not just shoes to save on closet space, but practically anywhere in your home you need some additional space. Use this in your pantry for even more storage or in your bathroom for hosting your hair tools and toiletries.

    22. A paw-cleaning device to keep your furry friends' paws clean and free from mud that they often tend to drag into the house with them.

    23. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because you'll need a saving grace when you accidentally spill your soda or precious dinner on the carpet. (These would've worked wonders for Kevin from The Office — just sayin'.)

    24. A set of stainless steel curved hooks you can use to maximize various spaces in your home such as using them for hanging pots in the kitchen or hanging pants, belts, and bags in your closet.

    25. A set of vacuum storage bags in case you're unwilling to part with your overabundance of sweatshirts and need to compact them to take up less precious room in your closet.

    26. An over-the-door hamper to stop letting your laundry collect in a heap in the corner of your bedroom floor.

    27. A drawer divider set so you can "Marie Kondo" your dresser to keep particularly your undergarment drawers organized.

    28. An extendable microfiber duster set so you can access those hard to reach places that still need to get cleaned. AKA the ceiling fan, or your foyer windows.

    29. Or this reusable and machine-washable duster that perfectly works in tandem with the Swiffer duster handle. No need to keep purchasing throw away duster heads, this one can be tossed in the wash after several uses and utilized over and over again.
