1. A jar of Museum Gel to 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 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 $14.49.
2. A tub of *iconic* cleaning paste The Pink Stuff, because once you realize how much stain-lifting power this unassuming stuff has, you'll wonder how you ever got anything clean without it. Not only does it get super caked-on stains out, it does so quickly and with minimal effort on your part.
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 the photos/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 (also available in packs of two or three).
3. And a pack of melamine sponges, which are fantastic for tackling 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

4. A super popular ChomChom pet hair remover to roll over furniture, bedding, clothes, or anywhere you'd like your beloved cat's out-of-control shedding to stop accumulating. Best of all? It's totally reusable and doesn't require any annoying sticky film, making it eco-friendly and cost-effective!
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
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $3!
5. An over-the-sink dish drying rack for anyone whose counter space is basically non-existant (gotta love those teeny city apartments!). You'll be really glad you bought it when you're cleaning up after dinner and realize, Hey, I actually have a place for this stuff that's not the kitchen table! It would also make an ideal cooling rack and conveniently rolls up when not in use, meaning it'll save even more space.
Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out “drying” for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me multiple times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri
Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in eight sizes).
6. And a bamboo burner cover people with small kitchens 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 $72.95+ (available in three sizes and in sets).
7. A fan-favorite carpet cleaner that'll help you keep your cool the next time your dog/kid/SO makes a mess on that white rug you insisted on getting. Don't worry, it'll make stains and regret vanish!
Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING. We have a 1.5-year-old puppy and have make several futile attempts to clean up carpet stains from her potty training days. Another dog owner clued us into this, and we cannot believe we didn't buy it sooner. Seriously, the same night this arrived, I spilled an entire bottle of beer on white carpet (oops), grabbed the Folex, sprayed a bunch onto the stain, massaged it into the carpet with my finger tips, and blotted with a damp towel. You can't see ANY remnant of a stain. I've also attacked old stains (like one-plus year old) and saw the same results. Seriously, buy this!!!" —AKM
Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (available in two sizes).
8. 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 Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).
9. And 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.
10. A pack of shelf dividers that'll keep your closet from becoming an absolutely chaotic mess. No more ruffling through piles 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 $12.99+ (available in platinum or bronze).
11. 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.
BuzzFeed Shopping's Heather Braga says: "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 (also available as a two-pack and with a stopper).
12. 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.
13. And a 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 SO putting dirty dishes into a dishwasher filled with clean ones, you need this in your cart, stat.
Promising review: "I bought this because of a TikTok video. Super cool and now nobody has to ask me if the dishes are clean or not." —D. Washington
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles).
14. A handheld mattress vacuum, because spoiler alert: You might not be aware of just how much dust you've been sleeping on (ew, I know). This bb comes with HEPA filtration and sucks up over 99.99% of small particles — plus, it has a UV light for eliminating icky bacteria. Breathe easy and sweet dreams!
Promising review: "So I bought this originally for my son, who has really bad allergies to dust. At first, we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bed sheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try and they were right! I couldn't believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa; it was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while. This product works for my family!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $104.99+ (available in two colors).
15. A plant-based Puracy spray reviewers say will send even the most stubborn tomato sauce, oil, sweat, and baby poop stains packing their bags. Now you won't have to throw out your favorite throw blanket after your very adorable (and very not-potty-trained) puppy has an accident on it 🙃
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: "With a little one, a dog, and an outdoor-loving family, I am constantly doing laundry. I have tried other natural stain removers and none really do the job. They get out some stains, or need to be washed within 15 minutes and retreated, which isn't always a reality in our home. This, however, is amazing! I haven't met a stain this can't handle! It has to soak for a long time, which makes laundry easy and allows for flexibility. Also, it has no odor, no residue, no damage to clothes. It is amazingly easy to use and does an amazing job. I have gifted this to a few friends with babies just because it really is that good!" —Trixie L
Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in three sizes).
16. And 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.
Wine Away is a woman-owned, US-based business!
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 $12.49.
17. 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 $6.93.
18. And a nifty little critter catcher, which traps those creepy-crawlies while keeping you — a person who is terrified of bugs — 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 $21.99+ (available in three colors).
19. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to 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. 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 $4.25 (also available as a pack of 24).
20. 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 $7.29+ (available in four colors).
21. 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 $89.99 (available in black or white and in a two-pack) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $15!
22. A Rubbermaid power scrubber that's like an electric toothbrush for your whole bathroom. Use it for reaching smaller grime-filled areas, like grout and fixtures, or anywhere that could use a little TLC (Truly Lustrous Cleaning). Ta-da, you can now let other people use your b-room without shame!
BuzzFeed Shopping's 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."
Check out Natalie's full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber review for more!
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
23. Or a water-based, nontoxic grout pen, which will have those gunk-coated spaces between your tiles looking downright dazzling without any heavy scrubbing. See, having white grout and not 100% regretting it is possible!
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).
24. An absolutely essential hanger stacker, because literally no one should ever have to deal with (or look at) a messy pile of tangled hangers EVER. Just seeing that first photo is making me cringe.
Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands-down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about is which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy!" —KatieLee333
Get it from Amazon for $22.88 (also available in packs).
25. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner for anyone who loved the look of their shiny appliances the first week they got them, then quickly wished they'd gotten a different finish once they realized they're actually a breeding ground for unsightly fingerprints. Regret not! This spray contains 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
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs of two or six).
26. A portable door lock to give you more peace of mind and help prevent potential break-ins. It works on pretty much any inward-opening door to keep anyone from being able to open the door from the outside (even with a key!) and requires zero tools or installation hardware.
Promising review: "My apartment door has a deadbolt but no lock on the door handle. The latch is also misplaced so if it’s not dead bolted anyone can just push my door open. Took a few tries to get this right but makes me feel much more secure, and it’s easy to use when you get the hang of it! I also take this with me when traveling as it fits almost all doors. Definitely recommend, thanks TikTok for showing this to me." —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available as a pack of two).
27. A cult-favorite TubShroom (77,000+ 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 six colors, including a set of two).
28. 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!" Save 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 $8.69+ (available in orange or green).
29. A pair of bamboo charcoal air-purifying bags that'll *finally* get rid of that rancid cheese popcorn smell coming out of your old sneakers (you know the one). Just place them anywhere that could desperately use some odor relief, and voila!
These can be reused for up to two years. To rejuvenate, simply place the bags in the sun once a month for at least one hour. To learn more, check out our Moso Natural air-purifying bags review.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about these when they arrived because I've never used anything like it before. I did NOT want something to cover up odors or make my feet smell like a robust dryer-sheet. I just wanted the odor gone. We've been having temperatures here over 100 degrees lately and although I wear socks with my Vans, they were getting a bit "pungent." I slid one of these into each sneaker and hoped for the best. Less than 12 hours later, the odor was gone... GONE! When a product works like it says it should = happy customer. I've only used them for about a week now, so I haven't had to recharge them yet, but I'm really happy I bought these." —C. Welte
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger packs).
30. And a Pet House candle specifically designed to mask all of those unpleasant odors any pet owner knows allll too well. No more mad dashes to spritz every corner in your home before company arrives!
It's made of soy wax and can burn for up to 60 hours!
Promising review: "These candles are fantastic! They smell great and do a great job of eliminating any odors in your house, not only those from pets. They do work best if you burn them for one to two hours at a time, but will get rid of the smells of wet dog, fecal smells, urine odors, and I’ve even found them useful for cooking odors. I highly recommend these candles. I purchased the Vanilla Creme Brûlée scent. I often get headaches from powerful scents, but have never gotten one from these lovely candles!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (also available in packs of two and dozens of scents).
31. A rust stain-removing gel that'll get rid of the orange grime covering your shower 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).
32. And 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 really a tub full of dirt. 🤢 The first few cleans will likely be eye-opening, but once you see how much grossness it extracts, you can rest assured you won't be bathing in filth!
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 stuff is great! We just bought a house and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" —Rebecca J Huges
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
33. A roll of window screen repair tape, which is an inexpensive, DIY way to finally patch up those holes and keep bugs out of your home for good! I mean, that's sort of the reason it's there in the first place...
Promising review: "This RHO screen repair tape is fabulous and simple to use! Just cut to size, pull off the clear protective film, and press onto the tear or hole in your screen. That's it! There are 15 feet on a roll and it couldn't be easier. I've patched my screened porch now in five to six spots and while the tape is visible, it prevents bugs from crawling through, which was my goal. If you don't have the time, money, or inclination to completely replace a screen, this is the perfect solution...and the fastest! Will buy again in a heartbeat if I run out of this roll." —sallywally
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in black or silver colors).
34. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit complete with refill heads so you're not stuck with a gag-inducing brush in the corner of your b-room — we all know there's no way of really cleaning those! 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 $9.38 (also available in two bundle sets).
35. A four-tier kitchen organizer to maximize storage space, since it can slide into those wee little spaces that are likely just collecting dust. Now you'll actually be able to see the contents of your spice collection (without a bunch of crammed-in jars falling on you the way they do every time you open a cabinet).
It's perfect for things like condiments, baking ingredients, and canned goods, though many reviewers use this for their bathrooms and laundry spaces, too!
Promising review: "This is pretty fantastic. I had the exact amount of space needed to put this little pantry between my refrigerator and cabinets. It was easy to install and holds quite a lot of stuff. I put about 24 bottles of water and juice and some cereal and I still had space. Highly recommend it for small spaces." —SIMARA
Get it from Amazon for $27.21.
36. 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. "But, where do I charge my PHONE?!" one might ask. With this, you can get more than two times the use out of the outlets you do have! Panic = gone.
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 (available in black or white).
37. And a six-outlet wall charger complete with USB ports so you'll ~never~ worry about running out of places to plug in your phone, and your laptop, and your tablet, and...you get the idea. Plus, it comes with a handy tap-on/tap-off light!
Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have one in almost every room of my house. The light is just enough to be able to see at night to use the restroom or navigate the house without turning every light on. I love that the USB ports are built in — no more looking for an adapter. AND the plugs are set far enough apart you can plug some of the bigger things like Google assistant or large AC adapters and still have plenty of room!!! These are a must have in a tech or smart home." —SeiranCrow
Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two styles).
38. Some washing machine cleaning tablets for extra assurance that your linens aren't mingling with odor-causing residue while they're being "cleaned" (yuck). 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 six from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in packs of three or five).
39. 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).
40. A roll of adhesive weather stripping for sealing up drafty windows, or any other gaps that might be letting cold air into your home. If you're like me and feel chilly 24/7, this is a game-changer.
Promising review: "Just received and installed. Quick and easy to install. One roll split in two covers one standard doorway. It works great at keeping the cold draft out. Stopped it completely. I’ll be using the other roll to fill gaps around a couple of window AC units. I would recommend this to friends and family." —Amazon Customer
Another promising review: "I recently bought an older house where all the windows are out of square. These strips have filled the gaps. I have no doubt that my next electric bill will be significantly lower after applying these to all my windows." —Nolan
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in two sizes and four colors).
41. 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+ (available in three colors).
42. And a dryer vent lint brush with a long, flexible handle for getting into those hard-to-reach crevices in your dryer gap and exhaust port. You can never be too careful!
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.
43. A 100% 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. One of your least favorite chores just got a whole lot more tolerable.
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).
44. 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.
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 $12.99 (also available in a combo pack).
45. A very user-friendly TV wall mount you don't need to be remotely handy to install — if you can hammer a nail into a wall, you're good! It doesn't require studs or anchors (hooray!), and no drilling = no wall damage. Many reviewers said they had it up within 15 minutes!
It can accommodate TVs from 26"–55".
Promising review: "This product is extremely easy to install yourself on almost any type of wall because it distributes the weight so well. It works on drywall or plaster. I double checked the position by sliding the provided level across the wall and started by putting one nail in the center and then carefully at one end using the level. Once I was sure it was level, I carefully put in a half dozen more. You don’t need to use all of the nails provided! After I hung the TV I realized that one side seemed a little higher than the other and I took the TV off and realized I just needed to make sure the screws on the back of the TV were positioned properly." —Venona
Get it from Amazon for $28.02 (also available as a set of two).
46. And a convenient Hang-O-Matic picture hanging tool, which includes a level and two anchor points that help you properly position your artwork before it's mounted onto your wall at an awkward tilt. SO much easier than using a tape measure, and makes hanging things a one-person job!
Promising review: "While hanging shelves and frames and other wall decorations shouldn't be rocket science, I make things more complicated than they should be. Leveling is where I normally falter. With the Hang-O-Matic it becomes an exact science! It's so simple to use! I've hung over 10 items on our walls this past weekend and it was a breeze with this tool. Just measure, put the tape to the wall where you want it, ensure your tape is level, and then push the marker pins in to know where you need to put in your anchors/hooks. When you're doing it solo, this tool is absolutely priceless!" —Shameel Kumar
Get it from Amazon for $13.
47. A countertop dishwasher, because having a small kitchen doesn't have to mean subjecting yourself to a life of cleaning every last plate, bowl, and utensil by hand. This small but mighty machine can fit six standard place settings and comes with a hose to attach to your faucet — no complex hookup required!
It's got six different wash cycles (normal, heavy, glass, speed, eco, and rinse) and comes with an adapter to hook the included hose up to your sink.
Promising review: "My place did not have a dishwasher. I begged the landlord to install one (as most of the units have one), but he's too cheap. I loathe washing dishes by hand. There were always dirty dishes in the sink. I've had this for a couple of months now, and it is one of my best purchases in the past decade. I ran it the night it arrived and have run it virtually every night since. If you follow the directions, you can fit a decent amount inside, but it is what it is: a very compact dishwasher that comfortably fits on the countertop next to the sink, where the dish strainer used to live. It will fit underneath cabinets if they are to code. It's pretty quiet, except when it expels water into the sink, but that's only a few seconds a few times during the wash. I have never had to wash anything a second time. Ever. I rinse a little but do not believe in washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I named it ('Dishy,' because I am not that creative) and it is now a member of my family. My daughter doesn't quite grasp why I love it so much, but then again, she is 7 and has never had to do dishes. Personally, I think she's just jealous that I give it so much attention. If one were to ask me to decide between this and a PS4, I would choose this every time (and I am an avid COD player)." —HoopdySF
Get it from Amazon for $320+ (available in white or stainless steel).
48. 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 $30.99+ (available in three colors).
49. 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).
50. A set of bed bands that'll secure that oh-so-wriggly fitted sheet so you can *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).
51. And a pair of blackout curtains for anyone who requires absolute darkness in order to sleep. These block up to 99% of light and UV rays and provide extra insulation against extreme outdoor temps — hooray for lower utility bills!
Promising review: "Love these! My son’s room was consistently warm despite having central air. It’s also freezing in the winter. He’s got five windows, and this is an old house, so I figured there was nothing I could do. After 20+ years I had a lightbulb moment and decided to purchase these curtains and see if they helped. WOW, not only is it almost completely dark in there, but the temperature has gone way down! These aren’t the hardcore insulated ones, but they are much thicker than the drapes they replaced, and the light blocking is almost 100%. I threw them in the dryer with a sheet of Bounce for 10 minutes or so, and the wrinkles from being packaged came right out." —what.it.is
Get it from Amazon for $22.45+ (available in 16 sizes and 40 colors)
52. A cute crocheted remote caddy that drapes over your armrest so you can stop doing the "check under every blanket, pillow, and cushion until you find the clicker" dance every time you wanna watch something.
Charolette's Attic is a small biz based in Fort Polk, Louisiana, that specializes in handmade crocheted accessories.
Promising review: "It looks great on my husband’s recliner! Now the remote controls are within reach, and they are no longer getting lost since there’s now a designated place for them. I also love that it’s crocheted! Thank you so much!" —Kimberly A.
Get it from Charolette's Attic on Etsy for $20+ (available with one, two, or three pockets and in six colors).
53. And finally, a TikTok-famous 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 get you to 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: "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).
