1. A super popular pet hair remover you can use on furniture, bedding, clothes, or anything where shedding tends to accumulate. Best of all? It's totally reusable and doesn't require any annoying sticky film, making it eco-friendly!
Promising review: "This thing is magical and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can, while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start, because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will

2. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll replace lingering smells — you know, the ones that always make you think, Wow, should I be cleaning my garbage disposal? — with a bright, lemony scent. Plus, watching it bubble up is pretty fun!
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.
3. A pack of solar-powered, motion sensor-activated lights so you can see where you're going when you let the dog out at night, take out the garbage, or just enjoy an evening hang in the yard.
Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge. The light coverage was about what I expected from them and do the job well. The motion sensitivity covers all the side and lights turn on. It has rained about three times and still work great and hoping they last for a long time." —J. Argueta

4. A TikTok-famous Bissell 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 stubborn 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, a 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.
5. Or a nontoxic carpet cleaning solution any pet owner will want in their arsenal, stat. You can use it with your vacuum, and not only does it help remove those stubborn stains, reviewers say it'll take care of lingering odors with its refreshingly minty scent as well!
This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free.
Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.
Get it from Sunny & Honey on Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
6. A pack of shelf dividers that'll keep your closet from becoming a chaotic mess. No more ruffling through a pile of towels whenever you're looking for a pillowcase.
Promising review: "I was a little doubtful about these being able to stand up straight but was pleasantly surprised. I'm using them in an old antique cabinet/wardrobe to separate stacks of clothes that would otherwise turn into a pile of clothes on a shelf. I would definitely buy again." —the booniepepper
Get a set of two from Amazon for $25.98.
7. And some labeled Sheet Keeper bands, because how many of us can never remember which of our sheets are queen-size and which are full? Trick question, it's all of us.
Sheet Keeper is a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles and their adorable bedding bands will actually make staying organized fun!

8. A fan-favorite TubShroom (75,000+ 5-star ratings!) that proactively catches any hair that makes its way into your drain so the water doesn't take forever to go down. Plus, 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 six colors).
9. And 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!"
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).
10. A bamboo burner cover small apartment dwellers will be thrilled to learn exists, since it transforms your stove into extra counter space! It's essentially a big cutting board, so feel free to chop away right on it.
BuzzFeed's Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease: "OK so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there."
Promising review: "This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." —Talyn Amber Skye
Get it from Amazon for $25.95+ (available in three package quantities and in eight sizes).
11. A nifty little critter catcher, which traps those creepy-crawlies while keeping you at arm's length. And because 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 styles).
12. And a pack of disposable Houseplant Sticky Stakes for keeping pesky buggies off of your precious houseplants! Stick 'em into the soil and try staying calm when you realize just how many insects are in your home. 😬
Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time, I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan
Get a pack of seven traps from Amazon for $6.92 (originally $7.49).
13. A dryer vent cleaner attachment so you won't have to worry about extra lint buildup becoming a potential fire hazard. You probably didn't even know this existed (but you'll be glad/horrified you discovered it once you see how much filth it sucks up).
This adapter is compatible with most vacuum cleaner pipes, so all you have to do is attach it to your vacuum and guide it around your dryer to suck up excess and hard-to-reach lint. Too much lint buildup not only slows down the drying process, it's also a fire hazard, so this handy device can actually be considered a safety tool!
Promising review: "Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent!! This past summer, the lint trap broke on our dryer. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What a disaster. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock, as well as a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!" —Laurel Enoch
Get it from Amazon for $11.89+ (originally $19.99; available in four colors) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $1!
14. And a dryer vent lint brush with a long, flexible handle that'll get into those hard to reach crevices in your dryer gap and exhaust port.
Promising review: "Great product, much bigger than what the pictures show. I never thought I could have so much lint stuck in the vent. It helps keep clothes smelling better and I’m sure is overall easier on the dryer with better air flow." —Andrew Portus
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.95.
15. A drawer organizer, because there's only one junk drawer allowed in every home, and the utensil drawer isn't it. Now your soup won't get cold while you fumble around for a spoon.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor 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 $10.19!
16. A highly rated Levoit air purifier so you and everyone you live with can breathe a bit easier — literally and figuratively. If you're tired of sneezing from all of the dust and dander constantly swirling around your home, you're gonna wish you had this sooner.
Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes, two or three times daily, and general cleaning, I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished, no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! The room is 10×10, and I use it on the two setting. I also enjoy the night light. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." —victoria Mohagen
Get it from Amazon for $74.99+ (available in black or white).
17. A 100 percent natural oven scrub made of pumice that'll cut through tough stains just as well as chemical cleaners, meaning no unpleasant odors to see (smell?) here. In fact, reviewers say the slightly minty scent is actually a treat for the nose!
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).
18. Or a robot vacuum and mop if you're looking for a truly hands-off cleaning experience. It's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and you can even schedule cleanings and switch modes using the app.
Promising review: "My Coredy R750 robot vacuum does an amazing job of cleaning all the flooring in my home. We call her Molly because anyone working in our home deserves to be known by their name. Molly cleans hardwood, porcelain tile, area rugs, and carpet better than my upright vacuum. The fact that she goes under most of our furniture and our beds is an added benefit. She learns the places she won’t fit under and will avoid them. When you add in the damp mop feature Molly truly takes over a big part of my weekly cleaning. Being able to start her whenever needed or to preset a cleaning time when we are not home is a great feature as well. I am always amazed at how much is vacuumed up each time that Molly cleans. I am so glad that my daughter recommended the Coredy R750 to me. You will not regret purchasing one." —Carolyn Gilger
Get it from Amazon for $249.99+ (available in two styles)— don't forget to apply the coupon to save $80!
19. And a heavy-duty wet/dry vacuum that truly "sucks" in the best possible way. It picks up everything from dust to liquid messes, and if you have a yard full of trees, this bb works like a charm on leaves.
It comes with two extension wands, a dual-flex hose, utility nozzle, car nozzle, wet nozzle, filter, and dust collection bag.
Heather: "My husband and I recently bought our first home and it has been quite the learning experience. Luckily my father-in-law has a plethora of tools, such as this vacuum, that made most of our DIYs a breeze. After ripping up a carpet and removing all the staples that had been holding it down, I was amazed we were able to use this machine to clean all the debris up in one swipe."
Promising review: "I had a 40-year-old Craftsman shop vacuum that finally broke, I was not expecting a modern one to perform as well as the old one however this new one is better in every way. The hose holds its shape under the vacuum, the wheels turn easily allowing it to move freely. It’s so much quieter than the old model, I like the cart especially as it gives a handle to allow you to move the vacuum around without bending down which for someone with low back pain, this is a great relief" —Silver
Another promising review: "I gave it top rankings for suction because this thing will suck up anything not nailed to the floor. I went to work on my rooftop deck where there is a tall overhanging tree that left a seasons-worth of wet dead leaves in all the nooks and crannies, and because of the labor required to do that by hand, I never got around to it. With this vacuum, the whole job took me less than 10 minutes and it seemed to have mulched everything as well! No clogs, no hesitation. It just ate and asked for more!" —War Chicken
Get it from Amazon for $131.49+ (available in four sizes).
20. A set of Unpaper Towels, because not only are they more eco-friendly than the single-use rolls (these can go in the wash and be reused!), they'll also save you tons of money if you're prone to spills. Plus, reviewers say they're just as absorbent as the paper ones, and they'll look cute on your counter, too!
Marley's Monsters is a family-owned small biz based in Eugene, Oregon, making eco-friendly home goods, from reusable plastic wrap alternatives to garbage pail liners!
Promising review: "Really glad I invested in these! They do a great job cleaning up and it’s really easy to roll them back up on the holder. I wanted just basic, traditional white, but was really nervous doing so — however, the marks and stains remove fairly easily. If you’re on the fence about making the switch to reusable paper towels, just go for it and get these!" —Kayla Simons
Get a 24-pack from Marley's Monsters on Amazon for $64.99 (available in 18 styles) or a 24-pack with a wooden holder on Etsy for $96 (available in mixed solids, mixed prints, or white).
21. A water-based, nontoxic grout pen that'll have those gunk-coated spaces between your tiles looking downright dazzling without any bleach or heavy scrubbing.
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving, and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I'm very happy with this product!" —Jenelle
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).
22. 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.
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+ (originally $13.99; also available in a combo pack).
23. 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.
24. A three-outlet power strip that plugs into your wall outlet so all you see is one sleek, white cable rather than a bunch of clunky cords snaking their way everywhere.
Promising review: "Did y’all know they made these?!? Okay, I was moving some furniture around in the guest room and my beautiful bride just wasn’t happy with how far the dresser stood out from the wall because of the TV plug. She said there has to be some way to fix that in this day and time. Know what? She was right! I did some searching on the old internet and found these. I put it on the outlet behind the dresser and shoved it into place. Just so y’all know, the wall plug is indeed flat and it’s designed to cover the whole plug when you use it. Please don’t ask me how thin or thick it is, cause I already put it behind the dresser and I dang shore ain’t about to pull it out to measure it for someone’s question. Just know that it’s flatter’n a bug in a windscreen and works great!" —James P.
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in two sizes, as well as five other styles).
25. And a double extension cord for anyone who was so excited about moving into their new home, and then promptly realized the outlets were few and far between. With this, you'll get more than two times the use out of the ones you do have!
Each cord is 6 feet long and has three available plugs.
Promising review: "I have no idea why these are not sold everywhere. PERFECT for my room! I ended up getting this due to my king size bed being against a wall with only one outlet. I needed a way to connect my two lamps on my nightstand and this is absolutely, without a doubt, the very best solution to connecting my lamps and also not having all my outlets taken up. I recommend this to everyone! Also perfect for outlets connected to a switch to turn on and off both lights at the same time." —Ryan
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (originally $19.98; available in black or white).
26. A SinkShroom 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 gunk out with your fingers.
Heather: "I bought this for myself (since I'm clearly a REAL adult) and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer."
Promising review: "I've gone through quite a number of sink strainers in my life and ALL of them have either broken or the little pop-up part won't stay in the up position... especially when there's a couple of pots in the sink that have been soaking. It doesn't seem like a big thing, but day after day, cleaning out the sink drain, trying to get the little bugger to stay in the 'up' position, wrapping rubber bands around that pop-up thingy, only to have them become really yucky from the stuff I'm attempting to keep from going down the drain and I'd about had it! Then I find this SinkShroom. It's been about two weeks and yes, it has CHANGED MY LIFE! I keep expecting a mini mess in the morning (my kids are usually up late at night, cooking and then cleaning their mess so it's usually full in the a.m.) and there's my SinkShroom... half filled with food pieces but EASY TO EMPTY!! No yucky wet mess. Just a simple flick into the garbage can. HALLELUJAH!" —Elizabeth B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (originally $19.99; also available as a two-pack, with a stopper, and with a hair catcher).
27. A 64-piece iFixit kit that'll make you feel so handy and thrifty when you realize you can just repair your devices and gadgets yourself rather than spending money on professionals or replacements.
Heather: "My husband is admittedly a 'gadget guy' and has had one of these kits for as long as I can remember. He's a big fan of the brand and loves that every set comes with a lifetime warranty."
Promising review: "Seriously, I have been repairing small electronics for decades now, over 30 dang years, and I will say this is probably the best deal and collection you can get for simple to even complicated repairs. It has a crapload of bits, but essentially everything you will need as opposed to the next larger offering, though I am still considering getting that for my dungeon downstairs. I keep this upstairs literally in the kitchen since a lot of impromptu repairs occur at the dining room table, but I have not been let down. This is top notch/quality material and manufacturing. It not only feels comfortable but is very strong and bits do not let go of screws. It has a great deal of bits too, 64 in fact. It pretty much covers all the phone and laptop screws you will encounter and even has some socket ones too. Nice touch." —Riboild
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
28. A magnetic stove shelf to keep the ingredients and cooking tools you find yourself reaching for most often close at hand (and from cluttering up your pantry). You'll instantly get more storage space, and there's no assembly required!
This handy contraption is made by StoveShelf, a small biz that was founded by Scott Fleming with the intention of maximizing precious kitchen storage space.
Just a note that storing oils and spices close to a heat source can impact their taste and longevity, so only keep the ones you use often and go through quickly above your stove!
Promising review: "Buy this. Life-changing magic. This shelf is absolutely magnificent. The top part of my stove is rounded and the spices constantly fell about and caused a ruckus. NO LONGER. So much room for spice activities. Do yourself the favor and purchase this." —DJ
Get it from StoveShelf on Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in six colors).
29. A universal remote attachment, because watching a movie is waaay more enjoyable when it doesn't require half an hour spent searching for three different clickers.
It's compatible with Amazon Fire, Echo Voice, and IR remotes.
Promising review: "This is a great little accessory for your Amazon remote. I was tired of always getting my TV controller out to change the volume or input or turn the TV on or off, but this little addition does it all and attaches right to the Fire TV remote." —TDS
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (originally $29.99) .
30. A rust stain-removing gel that'll get rid of the orange grime covering your shower, toilet, and sink so you'll actually feel clean while you're taking a bath and washing your hands. These photos are giving me so much drama I think I need some popcorn.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —T-urtle
Get it from Amazon for $4.26+ (available in three sizes).
31. Or a bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner, because if you're one of the lucky people who actually has a jetted tub, the last thing you probably want is a luxurious soak in what's actually a tub full of dirt. 🤢
It only takes 15 minutes to clean — just run the water, pour it in, and turn the jets on!
Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review: "This product works! We stopped using our jetted tub because of all the nasty stuff coming out of the jets when we turned them on. Nothing seemed to work to clean them until I tried this. The first time I used it .... oh my gosh.... so much stuff came out. So the next day I did the same thing and it was an amazing difference. Since we had not used the jets in so long I gave it one last run. Now we can use our jets and have a wonderful bathing experience. It only takes a small amount so even after three times we have plenty left for many more cleanings. I will be using this on a regular basis to keep things nice and clean. Glad I finally found a good product!" —Cynthia Kachnic
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
32. A Nest thermostat, which not only looks cool and sleek on your wall but also lets you set your desired temperature from anywhere using your phone, laptop, or tablet. Plus, it's got a money- and energy-saving eco-mode to keep your empty house from using unnecessary resources.
Heather: "The Nest thermostat learns your schedule and the temperatures you prefer and shifts into Eco Temperature mode when you leave to conserve energy. This smart thermostat will do all the work for you — and when you *do* actually have to make any updates to the temp in your home you can do it all from your phone, tablet, or laptop. I just installed two into my new home and am really impressed so far. It's been super convenient being able to put the heat up from my phone before heading over while we're still somewhat under construction."
Promising review: "We have had our best thermostat for a little over a year now and I have to say we love it. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! The features are amazing. I like that. You can adjust the temperature when you’re not home plus it syncs with the weather and knows when to adjust the temperature. Plus it knows when you’re home or away and learns your routine. We keep it set to a temperature range where in the winter it won’t go below a set temperature and in the summer it won’t go above a set temperature. No more switching back and forth between heat and AC in our crazy Texas weather. Our electric bill is significantly lower. It takes a couple of weeks for it to learn your routine. We don’t ever even have to touch the thermostat." —geogg arvesen
Get it from Amazon for $195.95 (available in seven colors).
33. A dedicated red wine stain remover that'll ease any apprehensions you might have about hosting friends now that your new white couch has finally arrived.
For best results, absorb the excess liquid, then saturate the spot with the stain remover. Let it sit for one to five minutes, and 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!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.90.
34. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner for anyone who loved the look of their shiny appliances the first week they got them, then quickly realized they're actually a breeding ground for fingerprints. It's made with aromatic lavender essential oil, which polishes and shines without streaking and creates a protective barrier for preventing future smudges.
Promising review: "The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless-steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana

35. A drill brush kit you simply attach to your drill to give your toughest stains a run for their money. This set includes three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes to suit corners, flat surfaces, and everywhere in between.
Need a drill? Here's one.
Promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before (even with using tough elbow grease and a standard bristle brush). No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot. Used the large flat circular brush for the door and walls, and the round toilet bowl type brush worked great in the corners and on fixtures." —Molly
Get a set of three brush heads from Amazon for $17.95+ (originally $18.95; available with soft, medium, stiff, and ultra-stiff bristles, and in six colors).
36. Or a Rubbermaid power scrubber that's like an electric toothbrush for your whole bathroom. Use it for reaching smaller areas, like grout and fixtures, or anywhere that could use a little TLC (Truly Lustrous Cleaning).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is a fan of this: "I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.
"Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."
Get it from Amazon for $32.15.

37. A wireless remote kit, which lets you turn on lights and appliances from up to 60 feet away. Listen, it's not being lazy if it's efficient! Plus, you'll save yourself tons of aggravation when the holidays roll around and you can switch on those pain-in-the-butt decorations with the push of a button.
Each kit can control up to three devices.
Promising review: "I have three sets of these and use them at home and at my cabin in the Rockies. They work great and power through walls. I use one to turn on and off a painting light that otherwise could only be turned on by climbing onto the fireplace and carefully reaching up and behind the painting to turn on. Why get up and stumble around to turn on a light?" —Lee
Get it from Amazon for $24.46 (originally $33.51).
38. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit complete with refill heads so you're not stuck with a gnarly brush. Just stick one of the disposable sponges on, give your bowl a good scrub, and pop it off into the trash.
The kit comes with a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy. The wand has a convenient button you can use to dispose of the used sponge heads in the trash, and the heads are uniquely shaped to fit under the rim of your toilet.
Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
39. An unassuming O-Cedar mop and bucket set that even professional house cleaners swear by for spotless floors. It might not magically get you to love cleaning, but it'll probably get you to, you know, ACTUALLY clean.
Reviewers say its hands-free 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: "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." —Rexana
Get it from Amazon for $34.97+ (originally $39.99; also available as a set with extra mop heads).
40. An electric pressure washer, because your outdoor space needs some attention, too! Its super strong water pressure means less work on your part, and the five included spray nozzles target messes big and small.
It's great for washing down cars, houses, boats, patios, and outdoor furniture, and it comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, and a clean-out tool.
Promising review: "I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." —Tim S.
Get it from Amazon for $169 (originally $199.99).
41. Some washing machine cleaning tablets for extra assurance that your linens aren't mingling with odor-causing residue while they're being "cleaned." Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle — easy breezy!
The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.
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 three from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in packs of five or six).
42. A bottle of Goo Gone kitchen degreaser, because you don't actually have to live with those slimy spots on your oven hood you assumed were permanent. Spray it, leave it, and wipe it!
It's safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!
Promising review: "I moved into a new apartment in September, and the kitchen was full of grease stains on the floor, floorboards, walls, and cabinets. They must have been there for a long time, since I was never able to get them up. I tried every type of cleaning solution, brush, sponge, wipe, you name it. The second I used this product on the stains they came up immediately. I didn't even have to put any elbow grease into it, I literally just wiped over it a few times and it was gone. I would leave more than 5 stars if I could." —alysonnnnn__
Another promising review: "Works well at getting out turmeric stains from my formica countertops and kitchen sink. I have used other degreasers, but this is the best one so far. Also, it doesn't generate fumes that make me cough." —s patel
Get it from Amazon for $11.42+ (available in two sizes).
43. An electric lighter that'll have you lighting all of your new candles with confidence (let's face it, matches can be scary!). Plus, it's conveniently rechargeable — delicious-smelling house, here we come.
Promising review: "I’m not sure about battery life because it’s rechargeable. My daughter has one, it’s been over a year and she’s never charged hers. I will NEVER go back to the traditional, long flame lighters. This thing is AMAZING! It’s worth the money. I burn candles every day. This will be an awesome gift for any candle loving person. Very easy to use." —JMR
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (originally $14.99; available in four colors).
44. And finally, a timed outlet so you'll never panic about having left the toaster oven on ever again. Set it to turn on and shut off at whatever times you'd like, and it'll automatically do so — even if you're not home.
Promising review: "I've been using this for about a month now and love this timer. I had a bad habit of leaving my hair straightener on, but I set the timer to come on for one hour in the morning while I get ready and stay off the rest of the day. I haven't left my hair straightener on since I bought this timer. Highly recommend for anyone who doesn't want to disrupt their morning routine, but wants to be safe during the day while you're out!" —AmznUser181921
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available as a set of two).
