1. A brilliantly engineered O-Cedar mop and bucket set even professional house cleaners swear by for spotless floors. Its hands-free wringing system essentially does all the hard work for you, and while it might not magically make you love cleaning, it'll probably get you to, you know, ACTUALLY clean for once.
Reviewers say the wringing system is a total game changer — all you have to do is press the pedal down with your foot, and it'll spin away excess water (like in the GIF above). Another plus is the mop head, which has a unique triangular shape for getting into hard-to-reach corners and can be cleaned in the washing machine!
Promising review: "This mop is fantastic!!! I clean for a living and use professional equipment provided to me...I use THIS mop at home and I like it even better! Easy to use, great on my vinyl plank flooring, and works great getting into small areas like around the toilet. I normally use a steam mop or a microfiber mop head on a push mop, and I think this mop does a much better job. Very happy with this purchase...would definitely recommend!" —Kellj23
Another promising review: "OK, I am like, obsessed with this mop. It is just extremely well designed in almost every way. The handle is extendable but collapses pretty small, the mop head is removable and can be put in the wash, the mop head is triangle shaped so it fits in corners, the spin pump is easy to use and gets water out super efficiently. The only small thing is that the mop bucket doesn't have wheels. But it's so forgivable given everything else." —Rex
Get it from Amazon for $34.97 (also available as a set with extra mop heads).
2. A jar of Museum Gel that'll keep your fragile possessions from toppling over like dominoes when there's unexpected movement. If you have little kids or pets and like nice things, this is a must!
Each jar is good for up to 300 uses. To use, just grab a bit of gel, roll it into a ball, and stick it to the bottom of any item you'd like to protect. It's removable, reusable, and won't ruin your furniture. Plus, some reviewers say it's great for keeping things like cabinet and drawer organizers and liners from sliding around.
Promising review: "This is AMAZING! I recently got a kitten and of course he loves to tap on things with his paws until he knocks it down. My friend uses this product and told me I had to get it. So worth it!! Once you apply the jelly and let it sit for a little while those objects will not move! And the best part is that it does not damage the surface that it was placed on. 10/10 would recommend!!!" —Darryl Hoard
Get it from Amazon for $15.13.
3. A lightweight deep-tissue massage gun to help soothe all of those kinks you randomly developed...out of nowhere?! Alas, we all knew the day would eventually come when mysterious aches and pains became a regular part of life, but having this on hand makes 'em a lot more tolerable.
It comes with five massage heads and five speed levels to try out — and weighs just 1.5 pounds!
Promising review: "I have had chronic issues with pain caused by severely knotted muscles. This massager changed my life! I have tried muscle relaxers, stretching, and many other things, but a couple of muscles in my upper back would just knot up with any stress, physical or emotional, and the pain was nearly constant. I used this for about a half hour on all of my muscles with the first use, and the effects were immediate and profound. Pain relief was instant, and occasional use for a couple of minutes to the affected areas has been able to maintain that relief. I loved it so much, I bought one for my brother, who says it is helping him tremendously, as well. I have charged my massager twice in the last two months, battery life is excellent!" —Patty S.

4. A tub of *iconic* cleaning paste The Pink Stuff, because once you realize how much stain-lifting power this absolute miracle in a jar has, you'll wonder how you ever got anything clean without it. Not only does it get stains out, it does so quickly and with minimal effort on your part, whether you're tackling crusty cookware or crayon catastrophes.
Check out yours truly using it three ways on TikTok!
After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out my TikTok for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN.
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
5. A game-changing Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser so you won't have to do the walk of shame every time you leave your dentist's office. With seven flossing tips and 10 pressure settings, it'll give your gums the most satisfying yet gentle deep-clean one can get in their own b-room — and it only takes 90 seconds a day! Plus, there's even a massage feature... 👀
Promising review: "I'm a dental hygienist and have known about the research with the Waterpik for years, and have seen how effective it is when recommending it to patients, but I just bought this for myself and I love it. When used for three seconds straight in between teeth, this product has been proven to be just as effective as floss while also flushing out any food debris or other irritants from below the gums and massaging them as well. You have to use the Waterpik and experience how well your gums feel afterward to believe it. Do yourself a favor and buy this product, whether you have severe periodontal problems or are perfectly healthy. The attachments that come with this make it perfect for anyone to use. It may get a little messy, but it's well worth investing in and getting a little wet while using to get the benefits this product has to offer. Another trick is to put mouthwash in the water reservoir and use it, diluted or not, to really get it below the gum, which normal swishing won't do. Throw in an electric brush and you have the perfect combination for a happy, healthy mouth." —Johnnybombplate
Get it from Amazon for $69.30+ (available in four colors).
6. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because how clean could your dishes really be if your dishwasher itself is a mess? Their subtle, crisp scent is a welcome change from those rancid odors that often creep up over time with dishwasher use, and in terms of your dishwasher's appearance, I think the photos speak for themselves.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising review: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" —Old Southern Charm
Another promising review: "Just get them. Changed the way my 20-year-old dishwasher works. Much cleaner dishes and the interior is like new. First time you use it, run it empty with just the cleaner. I didn't realize how much mold and ickiness it got out of my machine." —drpicard
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
7. Bissell's Little Green cleaner, which is essentially like having your own personal stain-lifting professional in your house 24/7. This small yet mighty machine effortlessly removes seemingly impossible stains from carpets and upholstery with its strong spray and suction functions, and its large tank means less refilling while cleaning.
It comes with a tough stain tool, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.
Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
8. A lazy person's dream Downy Wrinkle Releaser Fabric Spray to spritz over any creased clothing or linens when you just don't feel like busting out the iron (aka 24/7). Now you can look presentable by doing the absolute bare minimum (just spray, tug, smooth out, and hang to dry!).
It can also be used as an anti-static spray, and reviewers say it smells nice, too!
Promising review: "This stuff makes clothes smell brand new and it gets rid of wrinkles FAST. I only do laundry now to sanitize things like sheets and towels, or clothes I’ve been wearing while sweating. This stuff allows me to wear pants and button down shirts multiple times between washes. Sometimes I’ll spray a garment down heavily so it’s damp to the touch, then toss it in the dryer for five or ten minutes. It’s a miracle! And it helps knitted and woven cottons last so much longer because of less contact with harsh detergents and high heat." —Jesse Alan Marden
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.94.
9. A highly rated portable car vacuum, because while those fast-food crumbs aren't gonna clean themselves, a few seconds of using this speedy thing will sure make it seem like they are! It's compact enough for storing in your car at all times *just in case* and reviewers say its 16-foot cord is great for reaching the backs of larger vehicles.
It comes with three attachments: flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle, along with a carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "Decided to buy this vacuum cleaner because we have a baby and we need to keep our surroundings clean. We were pleasantly surprised with the quick delivery, packaging, and the bag that it came with, making it very convenient to carry around and keep at one place. The vacuum itself is powerful, easily cleaned out the sand from the car seats, as well as the other dirt from the floor mat. The chord is long, so you don't have to worry about the back seats and trunk. Easy to clean, comes with an extension to get into narrow spots. We're satisfied!" —AsadaFries
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in black or white, as well as a cordless option).
10. A popular and inexpensive cold brew maker that'll support your iced-coffee-is-appropriate-all-year ethos without going over your daily caffeine budget.
This product couldn't be more foolproof: Just pour any type of ground coffee into the filter, place it into the pitcher with cold water, shake, and refrigerate. It's BPA free, and can make up to 1 or 2 quarts at a time.
Promising review: "I love this cold brew system. I did have an expensive Pampered Chef system, but broke the pot. I bought this system as a replacement, and I like it much better. The coffee is great, and I have had zero problems with loose coffee grounds, even when I use bagged ground coffee instead of coarsely ground coffee, as is suggested." —Erin

11. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray you simply — as the name says — "wet and forget." Spray it on, let it sit overnight, and wipe it off the next day to reveal a stain-free shower — no intense arm exercise required.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two scents).
12. A lipstick-size cordless portable charger that'll reeeally come in handy when there are no outlets in sight. It'll give you extra juice while you're out and about, and it's *so* much sleeker than those bulky block chargers. No more of this "leaving the house while your battery's at 19% and hoping for the best" nonsense.
I'd had my eye on this bad boy for a while, and finally ordered it to take on a two-week trip to Europe. Let me tell you: LIFESAVER. I'm the type of person who loves to spend hours and hours exploring new cities, but with the amount of photos and videos I take, my phone's battery tends to drain really quickly (relying on Google Maps to get literally everywhere doesn't help, either). With this, I knew I'd have some backup when there weren't any outlets nearby, and it was *so* nice not having to connect my phone to a clunky charging bank via cord. 100% recommend!
Promising review: "The holy grail of portable chargers!!! I was traveling to Disney for vacation and knowing me, I would drain my battery with just taking pictures alone. I wanted a portable battery but didn’t want a carry a cord either, so I was excited when I found this little baby! It does exactly as described, pretty pink color, and I get one full charge of battery for my iPhone 11. Get it, you will not be disappointed!" —Meghan Doble

13. A plant-based Puracy spray reviewers say will send even the most stubborn tomato sauce, oil, sweat, and baby poop stains packing their bags. Apply it to your stained fabrics, let it sit, then just toss in the washing machine. Now you won't scream, "NOOOOO!" as you watch your very adorable (and very not-potty-trained) puppy use your favorite throw blanket as a pee pad 🙃.
Based in Austin, Texas, Puracy was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children.
Promising review: "I try to use more natural products when possible when it comes to cleaning and laundry and I won’t lie, it can be hard to find ones that work. I saw this one mentioned on a blog and the author insisted it worked amazingly well. Well, I’m here to tell you it does. This is literally the best stain remover I have ever used. Better than even the chemical-laden, big brand stuff! The pictures are of my son’s baseball pants after a muddy game. The front and backs were both completely stained with grass, mud, and other grime. I sprayed liberally and used an old toothbrush I keep on hand for stain-agitation to scrub it in a bit, then let it sit for a few hours before washing as usual. This was the biggest/toughest job I’ve tried it on and dang! They came out nearly brand new! I wish I’d had this stuff last year. We might not have had to toss his used baseball gear. I’ve had it for a few months and even though I use it pretty regularly (I have two very active boys), I still have plenty. The value for the price is really fantastic." —AshleeOdee
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
14. A Roomba robot vacuum that'll effortlessly pick up the dust bunnies and crumbs all over your floor while you...literally do nothing except push the "on" button and go about your day. Isn't technology the best?
It's compatible with Alexa and runs for up to 90 minutes before automatically returning to its dock to recharge. So smart! 😭
Promising review: "So easy to set up! I use it daily. It does a fantastic job on the pet hair! And it even gets up the very fine soot from the the wind blowing into my living room! Really makes a difference!!! My white floors are shining!" —Liz H.
Another promising review: "Life changing. My Roomba is one of my favorite things I have ever bought myself. It’s incredible! It cleans so thoroughly, and I am so impressed by how well it cleans under furniture. As a two-cat owner who is not the best at maintaining a cleaning schedule, I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. It is also great on both carpet and hard wood!" —Katherine Hanson
Get it from Amazon for $179+ (also available with a virtual wall barrier or replenishing kit).
15. A teeth-whitening pen you'll appreciate having on hand when you're between cleanings and notice those pearly whites are looking a liiittle less than ivory (no, giving up coffee is NOT an option!). Just swipe some of this on and say, "Cheese!"
Apply for just 30 seconds once or twice daily for a smile that's 4–8 times brighter. And, you'll get over 20 uses out of each pen!
Promising review: "My teeth have been coffee stained for years. I’ve tried everything to whiten them, lucky I ordered these pens about a month before prom and within two uses I already noticed a huge difference! Unlike whitening strips it doesn’t leave your teeth splotchy and the taste is okay! I totally recommend this product!!!" —Allie
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $4!
16. A popular Levoit air purifier, because now that you're an adult, you should *probably* start thinking about how to optimize your surroundings a bit more, and what better way to start than with the very air you breathe! Plus, it's really a twofer, since reviewers also say it's effective at eliminating bad odors (not that your impeccably clean home has any). 😉
In addition to a regular filter, this little machine comes with pet-allergy- and toxin-absorbing filters, and can refresh the air five times per hour in rooms spanning up to 219 square feet.
Promising review: "Bought because of California wildfires. I put it in a room that is roughly 200 square feet that reeked of wildfire smoke. Set it on the highest setting and closed the door/windows. Within an hour the smell was GONE. I am thoroughly amazed. (BTW this was with the filter that came in the box.) The highest setting is kinda loud, but it's definitely quieter than a normal room fan. Doesn't bother me as long as it serves the main purpose. Setting two is really quiet; you can sleep through that. Lowest setting is so quiet you can't even tell it's on. Highly recommend. Make sure you measure your room for square footage, as that definitely matters." —Jay777
Get it from Amazon for $98+ (available in two colors and styles).
17. A Squatty Potty which, despite sounding like a product for kids, will help you experience quicker, more comfortable BMs. It props your feet up for the optimal colon-opening position, meaning your current "push (and wait), push (and wait)" routine's days are over. Isn't this what you'd always imagined adulthood would be like?
FYI — many reviewers with chronic constipation and other gastrointestinal issues swear by this!
Promising review: "I have severe stomach issues, which typically make me extremely constipated and cause going #2 to be very painful. I swear to you, I am so thankful for this thing that I'm buying a second one for my downstairs bathroom. I am able to go in a quarter of the time it normally took. It's like it does the work for you. This is extremely embarrassing to write but I'm doing it cause maybe it will help someone else. I promise it's not a waste of money and it's probably one of the best things I've bought off Amazon, and I buy a lot. Don't wait if you have problems or someone you love does. This is going to be a game changer." —Justin Younce
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
18. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll rid your kitchen of those gross, lingering smells coming from your sink — you know, the ones that always make you think, Wow, should I be cleaning my garbage disposal? The answer is a resounding YES!, since this stuff will replace those yucky odors with a bright, lemony scent. And watching it bubble up is pretty fun!
Just turn the water on, place a packet into the disposal, turn on the disposal, and let it work its bubbly magic!
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in boxed or bagged packaging).
19. A compact 'LectroFan white noise machine to keep distracting sounds to a minimum and make falling asleep a little easier — even when your neighbors decide to throw a rager on a Tuesday night. 🙃 Welcome to adulthood, where getting enough sleep is now your top (only?) priority.
This is the exact machine I use to help me fall asleep each and every night, and it's an absolute game changer. When I first moved to my current house, I quickly realized I'd been ~blessed~ with neighbors who think it's perfectly acceptable to throw outdoor parties at midnight on a Tuesday, and I knew I'd need something to drown out their literal shrieking in order to get any sleep. Enter: my beloved 'LectroFan, which I'll be the first to admit is nothing fancy, but 100% gets the job done. It comes with 20 nonlooping sounds, and you can let it go all night or set it for an hour (I'm of the "all night" persuasion and it usually has me conking out like a baby). I'm not the most savvy when it comes to tech and gadgets so I appreciate the minimalist interface, and it's proven to be incredibly user-friendly, even for me. Plus, since it weighs just over a pound, it would be a great thing to pack on a trip juuust in case your hotel room neighbors like to rage at 3 a.m. so you're not laying in bed like 😳.
Promising review: "I live on an extremely busy city street, and I have sensitivity to constant, random noises. This little slice of heaven got delivered less than an hour ago, is set at brown noise volume 3, and I’m at peace. I truly am so glad I stumbled upon this device. Extremely easy to use, nice to look at, tiny but plenty of volume. Cheers to finally sleeping again!" —Cat
Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in black or white, and with two packaging options).
20. A pack of melamine sponges, which are fantastic for tackling those mysterious wall smudges, dirt, and grime without the need for chemical sprays. Just wet with water and wipe!
Reviewers say they're an excellent dupe for the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!
Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

21. A pack of gentle flossing toothbrushes, because time is money, so why not cut down on your nighttime routine? These bristles are 10 times thinner than the ones on your average toothbrush to get into all of those nooks and crannies harboring loads of bacteria in your mouth. 😬
Mouthwatchers is a small biz founded by Ronald Plotka, DDS. Their toothbrushes are made with silver-infused bristles to eliminate 99% of bacteria, and the dual-layered design helps the brush reach those deep areas where 95% of cavities form.
Promising review: "Let me preface this by saying, I hate flossing! I could never get through my entire mouth without setting off my gag reflex at least twice, and even then it never got fully cleaned. My gums are also extremely sensitive and bleed easily. To combat this, I have tried every toothbrush imaginable to get me a good clean with minimal bleeding; regular ones, electric, three-sided, 10,000 bristles — nearly everything besides a robot that will brush my teeth for me. I found these on BuzzFeed and immediately ordered them. I am so impressed with the way they clean, my teeth and gums feel so damn clean and my gums aren’t even swollen, or bleeding. It’s like being fresh from the dentist! These are certainly a toothbrush that I will purchase again and again!" —Katelyn
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $16.06+ (available in four colors and a variety pack).
22. A 100% natural oven scrub made of pumice that'll turn what is probably your most dreaded chore into a much more bearable experience, since it doesn't contain headache-inducing chemicals. Now when your parents visit, they won't say, "Um, sweetie, when was the last time you cleaned that thing?"
It also comes with a metallic scrubber!
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising review: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe
Another promising review: "This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!" —Traci Hutchinson
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
23. And a pack of oven liners future-you will thank current-you for buying when you realize they prevent your famous lasagna's overflow from becoming a sticky mess on the floor of your oven. We love a good proactive product!
Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil, which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a combo pack).
24. A pack of earbud-cleaning putty because, as you've probably figured out, adult life largely revolves around cleaning, and no space is too small to clean. The putty sticks to the earbud (or whatever electronic device you're trying to clean without wetting) and pulls out earwax and other debris that may have found its way into those tiny pockets for better connectivity and sound quality.
Promising review: "After seeing this on BuzzFeed and looking at the reviews along the way, I literally bought this because of another review that said it fixed her muffled iPhone 11. So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of and for the first time in months I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone. I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase." —jtd
Get a 24-pack on Amazon for $15.99 (also available as a 12-pack).
25. A nifty little critter catcher, which traps those creepy-crawlies running around your house while keeping you — a person who is terrified of bugs — at arm's length. And since it doesn't kill them, you can release those spiders outside where they belong.
Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Initially I was hesitant that it would squish the little guys or they would fall out in transport but it's great! Highly recommend! Sorry your GPS brought you into my house, little guy, I will help you find your way back outside :)" —Crystal R
Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three colors).
26. A memory foam seat cushion that'll make you wonder how the heck you put up with that hard as a rock desk chair for so long as soon as you feel it cradle your bum. If you're WFH, you're gonna want one not only for comfort, but to provide support and promote better alignment!
Promising review: "A few weeks into working from home five days a week I started having a lot of hip/leg/back pain. I have a good Herman Miller task chair that had been fine for one to two days of WFH a week, but wasn't working for me full time. In the early afternoons my lower back would start cramping. I did some research and bought this pillow and it immediately helped! I also took it on a two-week road trip since a three day road trip earlier this year had made a mess of my lower body that lingered for weeks — and no pain! What really drove me to write this review was that yesterday, unknowingly, I worked all day sitting on my chair without my cushion. I had removed it to use as a spare chair at my dinner table and forgot to put it back. At the end of the day hip was aching and I realized why! Today it's back on my chair and I'm already feeling better." —Lorene
Get it from Amazon for $51.95 (available in three colors).
27. A tiered drawer organizer, because there's only one junk drawer allowed in every home, and guess what? The utensil drawer isn't it! With this, your cutlery will finally have a designated place, and the "bleacher-style" design takes up way less space than your standard utensil divider. Now you won't panic whenever a guest asks if they can grab a fork.
BuzzFeed Shopping's Chelsea Stuart has used this product to make her kitchen feel more organized: "Just got this and it has freed up SO much space in our cutlery drawer that we can now store teas, small Tupperware, etc. vs. before it was just a mess of utensils."
Promising review: "I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap it changed my life. So. Much. Room. There is so much room left in my drawer now that I moved stuff from another drawer and I have an entirely empty drawer in my kitchen now. Now only HALF the drawer is silverware and the other half is spatulas and cooking utensils. It is great. It also seems very sturdy. Highly recommend." —van31050
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors, a bamboo option, and a larger style).
28. A set of Kegel weights that'll help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles with just 15 minutes of daily use. Having a stronger pelvis helps with things like bladder control, uterine support, and childbirth recovery, and can also improve comfort during sex.
This set comes with six weights designed for everyone from first-time users to "kegel experts"!
Promising review: "Since starting, my bladder control has significantly improved. I am now able to sneeze or cough without peeing myself. Yes, that's right. I am able to hold my pee longer, which means I can actually make it to the bathroom without dribbling on myself. The best part is that just a few short weeks into the program you will have results you can feel. I think every woman who has ever had kids should try this, out. The overall quality of my life has improved. Ditch your panty liners, stop the embarrassing dribbles, no more mad dashes to the rest room because of a weak bladder. Even my sex life has improved; I have control of those pelvic muscles now. Just remember to wash the weights before and after each use with an antibacterial spray, and allow time to air dry before putting them away. I say air dry because if you wipe them dry with a cloth you run the risk of giving yourself a bladder infection or urinary tract infection, and those are no laughing matter. Easy to use, easy to clean, stores away quickly." —Lady Tauber
Get a set of six weights from Amazon for $54.99 (also available with lubricant).
29. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets, because doing a load of laundry alone just won't cut it when it comes to keeping the appliance itself clean. You'll be amazed by how much gunk is really in there once you wipe it out, and with these, you can rest assured your linens aren't mingling with odor-causing residue while they're being "cleaned."
The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle, then wipe away the residue — easy breezy!
Promising review: "I didn’t think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn’t smell musty, and it removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." —AVDW
Another promising review: "I did notice my clothes smelling, let's say, not so fresh. Kinda funky. After reading the reviews, I purchased a box (which according to the box, lasts six months). OK, I'll try it. I've got a new washer with a button that says 'Clean Washer.' How easy can it get? The first load of clothes after using this product, I was an immediate fan. Wow! What a difference! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Love the side panel to check off the month you used it. Thank you!" —Two Fishes
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.18 (also available in packs of three or five).
30. A bottle of seemingly magic Wine Away red wine stain remover you should have at the ready when one of your friends inevitably spills their drink on the pricey white couch you insisted on buying. Seriously, what kind of sorcery is this?!
Wine Away is a woman-owned brand based in the US!
For best results, absorb the excess liquid, then saturate the spot with the stain remover. Let it sit for one to five minutes, then blot it out. This product can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint and grease.
Promising review: "When you have anything white in your house and you have a love for red wine THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST! We had a dinner party of about 15 people in our house so I bought five bottles just in case. Someone spilled red wine on our brand-new white couch. I was so mad, but I used this stuff and it was GONE. It didn't just take most of the red wine out — the red wine was GONE! No trace of it at all! I will buy more!" —Alial
Get it from Amazon for $11.90.
31. A faucet splash catcher that'll sop up all of the water that always accumulates around the top of your sink so you're not constantly wiping up counter puddles throughout the day. And you can toss it into the washing machine when it starts getting a little funky! Yes, these are the kinds of things adults get excited about.
Hustle and Sew is a small biz based in Saint Helens, Oregon, that specializes in cute, personalized accessories and handmade goods.
Promising review: "Literally solved my splashing problems!!! Wow!!! This is great... I don’t have to wipe my faucet literally every time I use my kitchen sink anymore!! I’m so excited and even happier I thought enough ahead to purchase two :)" —Ginger
Get it from Hustle and Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors — if your faucet requires different dimensions than the ones listed, just contact the seller about other options!).
32. A window blind duster brush, because even though the thought of cleaning each of those slats probably sounds nothing short of extraordinarily taxing, it's gotta happen. Luckily, this handy device seriously cuts down on the amount of time it takes to do what is likely one of the least enjoyable tasks — you're welcome!
Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioners and car blinds.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in blue or green).
33. A pack of denture cleaning tablets that'll remove those gnarly stains from your night guard in as little as 15 minutes — your mouth deserves better than crusty dental appliances! Oh, and they'll kill 99% of odor-causing bacteria, which equals better breath.
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.
Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $23.50 (also available in a pack of 240).
34. A clever dishwasher magnet you can toggle to say whether the contents inside are clean or dirty — a seemingly small gesture with potentially major peace-keeping results. If you've ever experienced the horror of your roommate putting dirty dishes into a dishwasher filled with clean ones, you need this in your cart, stat.
Promising review: "What took them so long?? Every household should have one of these. Does your partner point to the dishwasher and ask you, 'Hey, are these good?' Mine did, almost daily. Not anymore, though! A breeze to install (our dishwasher is magnetic, but I'm really glad it came with adhesive pads — someday when we move, if we need them we have them!), and even though I bought it (mostly) as a joke, I use the heck out of it. Slides easily when it needs to." —Andrea Braun
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles).
35. A colorful set of absorbent wool coasters, which serve as both condensation collectors for icy drinks *and* fun decor (gotta love a good 2-in-1). Your antique wooden coffee table will thank you.
Felts By Ava is a Dallas, Texas-based small biz making not only the cutest coasters, but also the most adorable felt ornaments and finger puppets!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh. These were one of the best purchases I’ve made for my new house. I hate when glasses get condensation, then leak all over the table, but these cute lil felt guys absorb all the condensation before it makes a mess, and are also literally so adorable and aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend!" —Emma Holt
Get a set of four from Felts By Ava on Etsy for $16.99 (also available as a pair).
36. A cult-favorite TubShroom (80,000+ 5-star ratings!) that proactively catches any hair that makes its way into your drain so the water doesn't take friggin' FOR-EV-ER going down. And it'll save you money on plumber visits!
Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention, and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in five colors, as well as a set of two).
37. Plus a drain clog remover for any respectable adult who's ever witnessed a plumber pull a humiliating amount of hair out of their backed-up drain and is like, "Nope, never again!" Preserve your cash and your pride!
Just stick it down your drain and it'll lift out all of that gunk — try not to be too grossed out when you see what's been hiding down there.
Promising review: "When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly and oh-so-rewarding job." —Chocolate and Chips
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.29+ (available in orange or green).
38. A set of grocery organizers, because throwing out moldy food you forgot about is a sad, sad thing, and a surefire way to avoid it is by using see-through compartments that provide each item with a designated place. Oh, and if you love a good TikTok organization video, these will let you feel that same satisfaction IRL.
Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom, who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —MioRioZio
Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors, as well as a set of 12).
39. Plus a set of food storage containers with labels so you'll stop mistaking your barley for farro once and for all. And not only are they great for organization and convenient browsing, they'll also help keep flour mites (yes, that's a thing) far, far away.
This epic set comes with 15 canisters and 24 labels!
Promising review: "Fits and stacks not only on my counter, but in my cabinets, too! Instead of the boxes, I dump it all into the containers and label them. Gives me more space in my cabinet. Great buy!" —Doreem
Get a set of 15 from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in three colors).
40. An effective mold and mildew remover, which actually sticks to grime and buildup to leave your backsplash (and any other dirty caulk) looking like new. Let it sit overnight, then wipe away and voilà!
Promising review: "Best grout stain cleaner ever! I was to the point of having my shower retiled when I discovered this product. I got a grout brush and cleaned my shower the best I could like always, and there were still mildew and mold stains on the grout and the seals. After I rinsed and dried my shower, I used this product, Skylarlife Home Grout Stain and Sealant Stain Whitener. It was like a miracle! After about five hours, I rinsed my shower. It looks AMAZING! Almost like new! My home is over 50 years old and this shower looks clean and in great shape! Thank you so much for this product. I will always keep a bottle on hand for touch-ups. It is the best I have ever seen." —J. Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
41. A pair of blue-light-blocking glasses that'll help combat the harmful effects of the light emitting from those electronics you stare at 24/7/365. Not only will you feel more ~responsible,~ you'll also look pretty stylish, too!
Promising review: "These are actually amazing!! I can wear them all day and never notice them on my face due to the lightweight material, and being someone who works on the computer all day I can absolutely notice a difference with eyestrain. In addition, they are so super cute and they come with so many fun little accessories (soft case, lens-cleaning cloth, etc). I absolutely recommend buying these." —Audrey Brown
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.98+ (available in nine color combos).
42. An instant-read thermometer so you'll never have to worry about overcooking the pricey steak you bought from an *actual* butcher shop ever again. It'll display the temperature in just 3–5 seconds!
I sincerely hope you'll never have to suffer through a burnt steak ever again (the same goes for anything that's too raw as well), and using an instant-read thermometer is the best way to monitor the cooking process along the way and ensure your food is at its safest — and most delicious — temperature. This one might not be quite as durable as the pricier options on the market, but it's much more affordable and will cover any basic cooking needs — just don't leave it in the oven, like one reviewer did!
Promising review: "I like to make jam, and since moving to Denver I've had trouble accurately adjusting my recipes for the altitude. Things were coming out too soft (but still delicious!). This was a small investment that is making all the difference; I just cook to temperature now rather than time. I've made several batches and it is accurate, cleans up easily, and is sturdy and easy to use." —Jen P
Get it from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in red or black, as well as a set of two).
43. A set of bed bands that'll secure that oh-so-wriggly fitted sheet, meaning you'll *actually* get a restful night's sleep rather than it turning into a bedding-versus-you battle. Plus, the sight of your now-smooth mattress will turn you into the IRL version of the 🥰 emoji.
Promising review: "I hate myself. I'm 30 years old. Why didn't I buy these sooner? If you are sick of sleeping on wrinkled or pulled up top sheets these will change your life. For 13 bucks. Buy it." —Bonus Joe
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors, two sizes, and in larger packs).
44. An Oxo sink strainer you should probably get if you're the type of person who avoids doing dishes because your sink takes FOR-EV-ER to drain. It'll catch all of those bits of food before they become an issue, and when it's full, just *pop* the remnants into the trash without scraping any gross gunk out with your fingers.
My sink used to get clogged all the time, leaving me with a foot of dirty water just hanging out for half the day until it would *finally* make its way down (disgusting). Now that I have this bad boy, I can toss out all of those icky particles before they make a mess of my pipes by simply flipping it inside out. For such an inexpensive product, it really is a daily lifesaver and could even save you lots of money on plumber visits in the future! Oh, and now you won't have to worry about any precious jewelry slipping down into the depths of your sink while you're doing dishes. 🙏
Promising review: "I just recently moved and was looking for a solution since I no longer have a garbage disposal. My sister told me not to waste my time with any of the mesh/grid-looking strainers. She told me specifically about this strainer and said it's the easiest to clean and keep clean by far. She certainly wasn't lying. It fits perfectly over my drain and doesn't move around or lift at all when there is excess water in the sink. When it comes time to clean it I just dump it first, and then if there are any stragglers I just pop up the bottom and give it a good shake. Works every time. No weird goop residue like in previous strainers. I love it. It works for my home perfectly." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
45. A food container lid organizer, because if there's anything we can all agree on, it's that lids have a mysterious way of disappearing when they're just shoved into a drawer. Look at you taking initiative!
Promising review: "This is a great caddy for all of those maverick Tupperware lids that disappear like socks in a laundry room. I was able to fit quite a few into it. It comes with five separators to cordon off different sizes/shapes of lids (see photos) and consolidate two of three previous lids bins into this one. Plus, according to their card insert, the company is a woman-owned small business, which I’m always happy to support." —Bridget D.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five styles).
46. A pack of slip-resistant velvet hangers for a less cluttered closet which — dare I say — might actually bring you joy when you look at it?! Gone are the days of opening your closet and seeing your most delicate dresses and blouses collecting dust on the floor, and since these hangers have an ultra-thin design, you'll save precious storage space, too.
Promising review: "OMG! These hangers are excellent! They are so sturdy and look great! Before, I used the standard plastic hangers, and I had a hard time going through my clothes. They were so cramped! Then I decided to spruce up my closet and buy these bad boys! Not only do they look great, I now have more room to continue to buy more clothes so that they can just hang there with tags and go unworn! I’m so excited!!! I highly recommend purchasing these hangers!!!" —Jess
Get a pack of 30 from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of 50 and 100).
47. And a set of shelf dividers that'll finally put an end to the disorderly state of your linen closet. Separate the towels from the washcloths and the sheets from the quilts, and feel a sense of pride when you open the door and know *exactly* where your extra pillowcases are.
48. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner for anyone who wants those gross, caked-on food remnants gone, but would rather not spend hours doing any hard scrubbing. Just fill with vinegar and water, heat in the microwave for 5–7 minutes, and marvel at how effortlessly the stains from last month's tomato soup explosion wipe right off.
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four colors).
49. A set of cleaning K-Cups that'll flush out all of the residue that's been making your morning bevs taste...off. Unacceptable at 7 a.m.! Pop one into your single-serving coffee maker and brew as if you were making your favorite hot drink, then brew again without the cup to rinse it out — no wiping or scrubbing!
Promising review: "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
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a 12-pack).
50. A handy pack of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets you should slap right onto your fridge so you can stop Googling "how long do I cook mozzarella sticks for and at what temperature?" every time you're craving a crunchy snack.
Promising review: "Got an air fryer for Christmas and still working out the timing. This cheat sheet is easy to read, hangs on the fridge (magnetic!), and saves so much time and effort in looking up time and temp for a multitude of foods including roasting fresh meats/vegetables or crisping up pre-packed frozen goodies." —Bob Romero
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in black or white, English and Spanish, and in multipacks).
51. Some plush bath towels, because it's about time you tossed your threadbare ones from college and upgraded to a nice, presentable set. New year, new bath linens.
Reviewers recommend washing these before using to get rid of any excess lint. Don't forget the matching washcloths!
Promising review: "Great towel set! These far exceeded my expectations! They are SUPER soft, fluffy, and thick! They look great, and I will be purchasing an additional set for a second guest bathroom. Highly recommend!" —Carrie Kirkes
Get a set of four from Amazon for $46.99 (available in 16 colors).
52. A set of under-bed storage containers that'll make use of the space that would otherwise be used for hiding monsters (jk). In all seriousness, storing seasonal clothes and shoes under the bed is one of the easiest space-saving solutions, and these containers come with see-through tops so you won't forget what you stashed in them a month from now.
And not only clothes, these storage containers are perfect for bedding, accessories, and basically anything you feel the need to keep around but don't want on display.
Promising review: "These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." —Kimberly Dorn
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.97+ (available with soft or firm side walls and in three colors, as well as sets of four).
53. And finally, some in-flight earplugs, which won't only drown out the sound of the screaming toddler in back of you, they'll also help prevent air pressure discomfort and popping. Congrats, you're now a certified curmudgeon AND someone who cares about ear wellness! 👏
Promising review: "Never fly without these! Before I found these, I endured excruciating pain in my ears upon descent and landing. Felt like a hot poker being driven into each ear. My ears would also be plugged up, and it would often take two to three days for them to resume their normal state of being. I insert them about an hour before landing, as the plane is making its slow descent. I'm comfortable, and the most discomfort I experience is a slight 'adjustment of pressure' feeling in my sinus. NO PAIN. NO TEARS." —K. Tombrella
