1. A jar of Museum Gel — a clear adhesive that parents, pet owners, and collectors swear by! You can apply it to the bottom of crystal or glass to secure it without leaving any residue behind.
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 $11.46.
2. A tub of The Pink Stuff because sometimes you need a miraculous cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes. You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been battling for ages.
Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans! —Britt
Promising review: "What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in various sizes and bundles).
3. And a pack of melamine sponges to tidy various surfaces in your home. They're super thick but gentle enough to tackle all types of grime. You *may* find yourself running around the house looking for new stains to conquer now that you've finally found an effective solution!
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 life-saving ChomChom pet hair remover roller for pet parents who love their fur babies but not the hair problem. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment! It can be that easy.
Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in colors white and black).
5. A roll-up drying rack so you can dry dishes without rendering your counter totally useless. Place this over the sink and let dishes dry without them becoming another obstacle you have to navigate around.
You can also use it to wash and dry produce!
Promising review: "This product is a game changer for small kitchens. Forego the large drying rack and get this sleek, stylish space-saver. I don’t like leaving dishes in the sink, nor do I have a dishwasher, and this is just perfect for keeping the sink clean and leaving the counter space open. It's also amazing for washing produce." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in nine sizes and in colors black or warm gray).
6. Plus, a bamboo burner cover when you're desperate for more counter space in your *extremely* tiny kitchen. It's basically a giant cutting board, so you can even chop veggies on it if you please.
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 $69.95+ (available in seven sizes and in multipacks).
7. A water-based Folex carpet cleaner that'll take care of ANY sick messes that occur. Unlike other harsh cleaners, this one is odorless, nonflammable, and contains no solvents.
Apply a generous amount on the stain, gently agitate, then blot with a clean absorbent cloth.
Promising review: “Love love love Folex!! Super easy to use. The bottle does exactly what it says. My chairs were SUPER DIRTY from my 2.5-year-old grandson eating and feeding dogs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how clean they got after just one use. Mind blown!!” —Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
8. Or Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner because sometimes you need a ~miracle~ to conquer messes around the house. You'll get professional-grade results that'll motivate you to always have a bottle on deck.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "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. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterward. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! The only thing I regret is not taking before and after pictures!" —Marie J.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents).
9. Plus, a portable Bissell Little Green machine — a lightweight yet efficient device to combat the sick stains in your home. You'll be so amazed by the results that you'll actually get excited about discovering messes that need to be cleaned.
The Bissell Little Green machine can be used on carpet, fabric, and upholstery. It offers strong spray and suction to remove tough pet stains with ease. It has a 48-ounce tank that allows you to do plenty of cleaning before a refill is needed. It comes with a 3-inch Tough Stain Tool, a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Hose Tool, and a trial-size of Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.
Promising review: "Wish I took a before and after. Had a spot in the passenger seat of my car that took 3–4 attempts to get out. This thing got it out in one try. It’s also so easy to clean after using it. I’m impressed! My Bissell carpet shampooer works wonders, and had to give this one a try. This is an investment I do not regret." —Samantha padgett
Get it from Amazon for $117.95+ (available in various styles/bundles).
10. A pack of shelf dividers so you can keep each section of folded clothes neatly organized. No more piles toppling over onto each other like you just lost a game of Jenga.
They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels! The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.
Promising review: "I love these! They fit snugly over my shelf, so they don't shift or move around. I have a lot of handbags and it's been a mess on my closet shelf for the ones that are floppy. I have limited closet space in a small home so my choices of where/how to store them are limited. This was the perfect solution. I plan on buying more when I get around to rearranging sweaters on shelves." —BarbraGenie
Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99.
11. A SinkShroom strainer if you're tired of you're sinking taking forever to drain — this will catch all those food bits for you. Place it in the opening and remove it when it's time to toss the scraps in the trash. Why you don't already own this is beyond comprehension, tbh.
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. Some dishwasher cleaning tablets that'll give your machine a super thorough cleaning while it runs. If you've been pulling out spotty dishes, your machine is basically begging for a good cleaning.
Promising review: "My dishwasher and garbage disposal stunk. I ran the tablets in the dishwasher twice and the garbage disposal three times. The mystery stench in my kitchen is now gone. I highly recommend both this product and their garbage disposal cleaner." —8675309
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.95.
13. And a dishwasher magnet to prevent those honest mistakes that happen in every household. You know, the ones where you discover someone put their dirty bowl in a dishwasher full of clean dishes— how dare they? Problem solved.
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 $6.38+ (available in four styles).
14. A handheld mattress vacuum for getting rid of all the dust you didn't realize you were sleeping on (ugh, gross). It uses HEPA filtration to suck up 99.97% of the small particles hanging around your mattress. There's also a UV light to help eliminate nasty bacteria.
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 $89.99+ (available in colors white and black — be sure to clip the $10 off coupon for this price).
15. A plant-based Puracy spray that'll remove even the most difficult stains. Think coffee, wine, blood, deodorant residue, AND old stains. Spray the stain at least 15 minutes before laundering and watch the magic happen.
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 $6.99.
16. A wow-worthy wine stain remover when your stunning area rug is starting to look a bit dull after one too many run-ins with a glass of Merlot. You'll get rid of the stain for good instead of playing musical furniture to hide it.
Good news! It works on stains new and old so don't be discouraged if you come across a spill after the fact.
Promising review: "A guest dumped an ENTIRE glass of red wine on my light cream/white living room carpet. I thought I was a goner, but I had nothing to lose — I had never tried it and it was just sitting under the sink. Wine Away was miraculous at getting the stain out. I now buy it for family and friends. It makes a great hostess gift!" —S. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
17. A critter catcher so capturing bugs is more tolerable, even for the biggest arachnophobes. It might not be a 10-foot pole, but it's close enough! And if you have empathy for these critters, this allows you to humanely release them — far, far away from your vicinity.
My Critter Catcher is a small biz ensuring you have an easy and nontoxic way to rid your home of pests.
Promising review: "I love this thing. I live in a forest area and we got some mammoth spiders who like to come inside, especially in the fall. I've caught tons of those critters with this catcher. Sometimes it takes a minute and they escape, depending on the spider, but I have usually triumphed and escorted their little butts right out the door. It's also good for catching those big mosquitoes. Highly recommend!" —Maggie T
Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three colors).
18. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to put an end to the gunk that's lurking down there — no elbow-deep dirty work required. It's pretty fun to watch the blue foam do its thing, so this may become your fave cleaning task.
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 House
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (also available in larger sets).
19. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner for addressing the caked-on food bits you've been eyeing for months. Fill it with water and a hint of vinegar, then pop it in the microwave. It'll loosen up the mess so it's easier to wipe away.
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped [it] down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four colors).
20. A top-rated Levoit air purifier tons of reviewers swear by, especially for households with pets! This'll help remove dander, dust, mold, and pollen from the air so you can breathe easier.
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 colors white or black and with a replacement filter).
21. A Rubbermaid power scrubber if you're finally ready to face the soap scum that's been living rent-free in your home since you did spring cleaning. This powerful device will have your bathroom sparkling clean before you know it.
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.
22. Or a water-based, nontoxic grout pen so you can stop buying multiple throw rugs to hide your filthy grout. Use it on the grout that needs whitening and BOOM, your work is done. No fumes and no hours lost to relentless 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 tip sizes).
23. A hanger stacker that'll help you organize that giant pile of messy hangers you wrestle with whenever you need to hang something up.
No more searching for missing hangers, no more cluttering up your space with empty hangers. We love an easy solution!
Promising review: "Great functionality. I gather hangers as I gather dirty clothes. This stacker lives in my laundry room between the washer and dryer. It keeps my plastic hangers under control and I no longer suffer 'clothes hanger rage' from them getting tangled and not cooperating with me." —msw
Get it from Amazon for $24.62.
24. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner, which works like an absolute charm when you need to remove all those stubborn smudges and fingerprints on your fridge or any other appliances.
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 two sizes and as a two-pack).
25. A portable door lock, aka a total game changer for solo dwellers (and travelers!) who want to put their minds at ease when it comes to safety. It's a breeze to install/remove, it'll fit most doors, and it's small enough to toss in your bag.
FYI, this may occasionally be flagged by TSA. You can also check out this other option with a sleeker design.
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 $14.99 (also available as a pack of two or four).
26. A TubShroom to prevent your worst nightmare: clogged shower drains. This thing will catch any hair that even thinks about going down the drain. Be sure to regularly remove buildup from the TubShroom and toss it in the trash!
Read my BuzzFeed coworker's review of this gross and satisfying tool.
Promising review: "Can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed having been using around a month. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five styles and as a two-pack).
27. And a drain clog remover so you don't have to explain to your house guests why the water is draining slower than molasses. This tool removes downright horrifying clogs that usually require the skills of a very expensive plumber.
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 $8.99 (available in colors orange or green and as a four-pack).
28. A pair of bamboo charcoal air-purifying bags you can easily toss in your shoes, gym bag, and anywhere else that funky smells tend to linger.
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." —CW
Get a pair from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger packs).
29. And a Pet House candle specifically designed for the homes of animal lovers! Yes, you can get rid of stubborn pet odors *without* resorting to a strong chemical fragrance that'll ruin your peaceful atmosphere.
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).
30. A rust stain-removing gel to battle rust stains and actually win (with hardly any effort!). Spray it on, give the rust a few minutes to dissolve, and then rinse.
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 $16+ (also available in larger sizes).
31. And a bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner because you shouldn't have to question whether you're bathing in the previous homeowner's leftover filth 🤢. Run the water, add the cleaner, and fire up the jets!

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! 😊" —Becky
Get it from Amazon for $17.84 (available in two sizes and as a two-pack).
32. Window screen repair tape if buying a whole new screen isn't in the budget right now. This will allow you to patch up any holes and keep critters out.
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 three sizes and in colors black or gray).
33. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit so you can clean your porcelain throne with ease. These come loaded with cleaner, so just wave the wand around the bowl and it'll be clean before you know it.
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 (also available in two other bundle sets).
34. A double extension cord for addressing the severe lack of outlets in your home. Now you'll get double the use out of a single outlet, so you never have to panic about not being able to charge your phone next to your bed again!
Each cord is six 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 $14.81 (available in colors white or black).
35. And a six-outlet USB wall charger and surge protector that'll handle all your charging and plugging needs. It has a smart night-light with a sensor that turns on automatically when ambient lighting is insufficient. There's also a touch sensor and three adjustable brightness levels.
36. Some washing machine cleaning tablets to prevent your dirty loads from getting even dirtier due to lingering grime and odors. Your machine will literally look brand-new in no time at all.
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 $10.16+ (also available in packs of three or five).
37. A timed outlet so you don't have to spend half the day worrying about whether you remembered to unplug that one appliance. Put this in your outlet, plug in your device, and set the timer to shut it off automatically.
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).

Promising reviews: "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
"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

39. A dryer vent cleaner attachment with results that may cause you to gag, but the sheer relief of eliminating fire hazards will be worth it! This vacuum attachment sucks out all the lint and dust trapped in your dryer vent.
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

40. And a dryer vent lint brush for accessing hard-to-reach areas without breaking your back. It has a long, flexible handle so you can easily remove lint from the 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

41. A 100% natural oven scrub if you've been avoiding your oven because you have no idea how to remove all the ancient food remnants in there. Apply the paste, scrub, and your job is done.
It also comes with a metallic scrubber!
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products.
Promising reviews: "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
"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

42. And a pack of oven liners to make kitchen cleanup quicker *and* easier. Future you will be sooo thankful you preemptively took care of all those fallen crumbs.
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 three-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a combo/variety pack).
43. A very user-friendly TV wall mount you'll wish you'd found *much* sooner. It doesn't need any studs, anchors, or drilling so there's no major wall damage. As long as you can hammer a nail, you'll have this baby installed in 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 $35 (available in two sizes).
44. And a clever hanging tool because what's worse than a crooked picture frame? It comes with everything you need to hang stuff properly, including built-in wall markers and a level.
This all-in-one tool is essentially a tape measure with sliding pins and a built-in leveler.
Promising reviews: "For some reason, I’ve always had trouble hanging pictures on the wall. ESPECIALLY pictures with two hangers. A typical picture hanging session used to look like this: measure, measure again, mark the wall, measure again, measure yet again, drill holes in wall, hang picture, step back and look at my CROOKED picture. Repeat. I have no clue why or how my pictures ended up crooked after measuring and leveling so many times. It was quite frustrating and left my wall with lots of extra holes. Well, this tool changed ALL that! It makes it so easy to hang pictures...STRAIGHT...the FIRST time! A chore that used to take 30 minutes now only takes five. Would be a perfect gift for new homeowners." —SouthernMommaRN
"Wow, this tool is awesome! It makes picture hanging so easy. I wish I had it sooner. It would have saved me a lot of time and aggravation. Well worth the money!" —Geni
Get it from Amazon for $14.98.
45. A countertop dishwasher when you love everything about your apartment *except* having to do all your dishes in the sink. It's the perfect size for small kitchens, and it can fit four standard place settings inside! It comes with a hose that attaches right to your sink faucet, so there's no complicated installation to worry about.
It has five different wash cycles (standard, fast, eco, strong, and fruit) and a drying function. It comes with an inlet hose that can be hooked up to your sink, a built-in water tank so you can use it without a connector, and a detachable filter. PS: You can also purchase an adapter if the included inlet hose is not the right size for your sink!
Promising review: "What a great invention for those of us that don’t have a lot of space. You can fill the tank (which the first time needs more water than directed — just keep filling till the red light goes out), or you can hook it up to the spout. You can also let it drain into the sink or drill holes to attach to your pipes. It is perfect for a single person, takes auto dish soap, and cleans perfect. There are lots of variations in cycles. It is quite advanced for a ‘portable, countertop’ dishwasher. Very impressed. If you’ve been considering this, this is the one to get. So many features, so easy to use, and it is the #1 pick. Soooo worth the money. I wasn’t born to stand at the sink washing dishes. This is one of the best purchases I’ve made." —D. Green

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

47. A window blind duster brush for cleaning those tricky areas you tend to have trouble with, like AC vents, fan blades, and between the blinds. Dust is notorious for accumulating in these areas, but this tool will get rid of it in a flash!
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

Promising review: "I will never ever ever ever have to deal with stupid sheets again. These things are the best invention money can buy. They work, they are easy to use and the company stands by their product as they should! These things have saved us from many nights of frustration and I am so glad I decided to buy them!" —DMM

49. And a pair of blackout curtains if you're someone who can't have even a sliver of light coming through the window while you sleep. These curtains block up to 99% of light *and* UV rays. They also provide extra insulation against summer heat and winter chill, so say hello to 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 $24.59+ (available in 22 sizes and 38 colors).
50. A cute crocheted remote caddy you can drape over the arm of your sofa or accent chair for easy access to the remote at all times. No more destroying the entire living room to find the missing remote.

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.

51. Finally, a TikTok-famous O-Cedar mop and bucket set that's machine washable and has an auto wringer, so your hands stay dry. It's designed to access deep corners for a thorough cleaning. The mop fabric is so efficient that you won't need chemical cleaners, just water!
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 an extra mop head).
