Did you know you that your dryer vent needs to be cleaned periodically? Because I did not.
Promising review: "Such a simple concept. Genius! It's difficult to find the perfect dustpan, but this is it. The brush has an angled tip that gets into corners, but the best part is that the small strip of rubber that edges the pan actually lays flat, unlike countless other brands I've tried. I am no longer chasing crumbs around the floor!" —L.

Promising review: "Works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and the sliding dish trays were tough to pull out or push in, there was detergent build-up all over the inside, and there was a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. There was still some build-up and I figured it would require another cycle, so I popped another two tablets in, ran the machine a second time, and now it looks and sounds brand new. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors." —Martoune

Promising review: "I love, love, LOVE this drying rack. I got so tired of having a bulky metal dish rack sitting on my counter taking up space, so I decided to give this a shot and I'm so glad I did. I really like that you can move the rack to different positions, the microfiber is very absorbent, and the rack itself is strong. The best part is that when dishes are done drying, it can be folded up and stored under the sink to make my counters less cluttered." —Stephanie Jones

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so I was hand scrubbing it for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it only took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower to a point where it looked cleaner than it had been in years; in the corners, the floor, the glass door, everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

This lightweight dehumidifier has a 16-ounce water tank capacity, can remove up to 9 ounces per day, and is ideal for small rooms! Plus, it's ultra quiet. You'll barely realize it's there.
Promising review: "This is a perfect size for my apartment. It is so quiet, you can't hear anything running! The price is great, and I can really feel the difference with the humidity. Before I bought this, I would get out of the shower and try to dry off, but my hands still felt damp and I would have to sit for about 30 minutes to feel dry." —Cynthia Barnes

Promising review: "Best purchase I’ve ever made. Literally so convenient to have so many of these for such a cheap price! Absolute lifesaver. Also, I know it’s trashy, but just an example of another one of their uses — you could loop some of these together and make yourself an 'emergency belt' and it would work wonderfully." —Abacus

Promising review: "Do you find yourself hating the knifes you cut with? I certainly did. Always grumbling about not being able to cut a freakin' bagel or tomato! Although, as they say, it's often more difficult to cut something soft than it is something hard. In any case, do yourself a favor and get this very cheap sharpener. It works like a charm in a mere two or three swipes/pulls on the unit. Honestly, I can't believe I never thought to have one on hand before. It should be a staple in every kitchen." —Matt

Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching." —Happy Retiree

This multi-purpose tray is perfect for both indoor and outdoor use!
Promising review: "This is great for stowing wet shoes and boots when you get home. I live in an apartment where I have no mud room or garage to walk through first when I get home, so I take my shoes off at the door then put them directly on this, as does my boyfriend. Very sturdy, plus it's easy to clean and sanitize!" —Suze

This FlexiSnake is great for sinks and showers in which the water takes forever to go down, plus it's reusable — just clean with hot water and soap after each use.
Promising review: "I tried every drain cleaner known to mankind in an attempt to clear my bathtub's drain and nothing worked. Seriously dudes, NOTHING worked. After reading the reviews on this I figured what the heck, let's give it a try. I wore elbow length rubber gloves and a medical face mask; I was ready for battle (I highly recommend you do this as well because the splash back is REAL and it smells of demon butt). After shoving it down the drain just once the most god-awful-looking sea monster of a stinky hair clump came out. I did it about a dozen more times until no more hair monsters came up. I turned on the faucet and that sound of water finally draining through the pipes was like angels singing the Hallelujah choir. That pipe is CLEAR, my dudes! I can finally take showers again without feeling like I'm standing in a goopy stank pond!" —Kayla Cooper

Psst, this organizer doesn't NEED to be used for shoes. Snacks, toiletries, charging cables, yarn, you name it!
Promising review: "Just what I was looking for to help me organize all of my shoe! My regular shoe rack by the door is full, and this one did not disappoint. This is the perfect space-saving storage solution!" —Kris

Promising review: "One of my best purchases on Amazon! We took these out to the coast with us as we like to sip a bottle of wine and watch the waves roll in. The problem with regular glasses is that you have to be so careful not to drop them for fear of breaking them, plus they don't fit well into the cup holders on folding chairs. These are so much more convenient! I dropped one and lost some wine, but not the glass. They also fit in my cupholder and was able to throw them in the dishwasher." —Rob & Robin

Promising review: "Yes! This turned my nasty yellow bathtub white again! I don't have to keep my shower curtain closed anymore while I have guests come over because I don't have to be embarrassed by my tub. You do have to scrub, but it WORKS and I'm really happy with the result!" —Cassie B.

The best part? These are super easy to install! Just peel back the attached adhesive, carefully place it on any surface, and that's it! You're done! No more stumbling in the dark.
Promising review: "These lights have worked out great around the house. I've put them on the stairwell and true to their description, they light up well when sensing motion. They won't light up as easily when sufficient sunlight is on them because they are meant to only function in the dark. (Sometimes, near dusk, I would have to get fairly close to them before they would turn on.) But once night hits, those things light up as soon as I come down off the other stairwell when ready to pay the basement a visit an perhaps do some laundry. I will note that the adhesive tape is VERY strong, as in MAKE SURE that you have them exactly where you want them before applying." —Kristopher D. Penland

Feeling extra fancy? Add a drop of essential oil to give your laundry an even more delicious scent. (I would opt for lavender. Hello, calmed nerves.)
Promising review: "We purchased these to replace our dryer sheets because we wanted something more eco-friendly that would save us money in the long run. Our clothes feel nice and soft, plus they dryer balls themselves are super cute! I love that we’re able to save the planet while using them and that we’re avoiding using toxic chemicals." —Max

These non-toxic silicone baggies are both microwave- and dishwasher-safe, are designed with a pinch-lock seal, and are available in four sizes to suit your food-from-home needs.
Promising review: "I love these things! They seal quite well and prevent liquids from leaking, are easy to clean with both the dishwasher or just hot soapy water, and they work great for leftovers. These are also my solution for no longer throwing away plastic bags used to store leftover food." —Alex

This is one of those purchases that you will never ever regret.
Promising review: "I've owned this dish rack for over a year and can state unequivocally this is the best dish rack in the history of man. (How's that for drama?) While it sits on the counter, there is a pan beneath the rack that drains all water into the sink; it is just wonderful. You may pay a bit more, but you won't be disappointed in any way. There is even a rack for hanging your wine glasses to dry." —TobiGail

Promising review: "This product is my saving grace. I have two young kids, a dog, and an affinity for light gray couches and rugs. Those things do not work well together in the normal world, but these cans of Woolite Upholstery Cleaner have saved my life (and my couches, and my rugs, and my carpets). One of my kids even got Behr PAINT from our drying fireplace on the couch, and the Woolite cleaner took that off, too! It’s absolutely incredible. Food, marker, pens, snot, poop, puke... you name it; this removes the stain and the smell. I will forever be indebted." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug and I tried everything, but there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY without any scrubbing necessary. They look brand new and there was no weird smell or taste afterward, either. Absolute magic!" —Amazon Customer

And yep, this is dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "This is a great cutting board. Easy to clean, has the black rubbery sides for easy grip when cleaning or moving, and it even has little feet so that it doesn't sit flush on your counter, making it easier to pick up and move around. Haven't been terribly careful with the surface so far and I can confidently say that you don't even see many marks on it from aggressive knife work. There is like a little trough (for lack of a better word) around one of the sides that works great to prevent meat juices from running off onto the counter top." —M

Each divider has four measurement lines, and the trays themselves come with clear lids that keep out odor and maintain freshness.
Promising review: "These are fantastic. I live in Alaska and not-gross produce is something we only get in the summer time, so I make tons of veggie soup and tomato sauce all summer to get us through the winter. I heart the planet and was using glass containers, but they’re kind of a pain. THESE SOUPER CUBES ARE AMAZING! So far I’ve done ratatouille stew, tomato vegetable soup, and marinara. Not only are my cubes not stained, they work perfectly. I’ve been flash freezing two trays at a time in my deep freezer, transferring the cubes to a silicone freezer bag, and then freezing the next batch. I’ve had no issue with release or buckling, and the portion sizes are PERFECT. The only irritation I have is that the teenager keeps thawing the marinara and dipping *everything* in it and he’s totally hogging it. I think I have to hide the next batch at the neighbor’s." —Knitting in the last frontier

It's perfect for used q-tips and cotton balls! The stainless steel finish is beautiful, the lid swings easily, the black plastic on the lid is durable, and I've been using these for over a year and its not scratched or faded at all." —Ange

Promising review: "I've had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They're much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer and more absorbent. I've washed the first ones I've torn off the roll several times now and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I've only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them and re-used. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of paper towels by now." —A.Clark

This stuff also works great against alllllllll types of pesky problems. Mildew! Mold! Rust! Say goodbye to all of it.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, this product is amazing! I didn't have much faith initially since we have extremely hard water and it usually takes over two hours with a magic eraser to budge it. But in under an hour and hardly any effort later, this product wiped out my shower like magic. You do have to use it on a dry surface with the included cloth." —Alicia A Dennis

Promising review: "I swear by these plant food spikes!!! The package says they are for indoor plants, but I actually use them for all of my outdoor plants, especially my herbs. I first tried these after planting some basil and other herbs that seemed to be taking an eternity to grow. I went to a local home improvement store and searched the garden center for plant food, but many of them were priced much higher than I was willing to spend until I found these spikes. I figured I'd give them a try since they were so inexpensive and wow! Within just a few days, my plants had grown more than double what they had grown in the previous several weeks. One of my friends (who also enjoys gardening) came over to my house and was in awe of how big and healthy all of my herbs were. When I told her about these spikes, she went straight from my house to purchase some and had the exact same growth results." —GatorDO17

Promising review: "We are living in an apartment, so storage is always an issue and the bathroom is no exception. No one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you're knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each, I actually have space left over. My husband's back scrubber, my shampoo and hair care, my daughters bubble baths, bath floofies, all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height so I'm not crouching to find anything." —goodnite.graci

This kit comes equipped with a bottle of cleaner, one cleaner, and one scraper.
Promising review: "I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years and had only wiped down with random multi-cleaners, which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product...AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. This will leave your cooktop shiny and new, and even marks that had been on there for years came off almost completely. The key is to use very little product! Let it dry to a haze and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel (just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish, it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B. Swartwood

Promising review: "I have been eating chips and various food products sold in bags for over 30 years and these are the best dang chip clips I have ever used! Don't look at any others, stop here, you found the best. Not the wider ones that slowly slide to the edge of the bag and finally slip off, not the small ones that pinch one tiny area. These chip clips are just NO JOKE. They have a great magnet and a serious chomp, reinforced by sturdy grippy plastic at the clamp part. Your chips are safe!" —S. Hoffman
