1. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to stop mold and mildew from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray and walk away — your future self will be SO grateful.
Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

2. A washable, reusable sponge with scrubby mesh on one side and soft cotton terry cloth on the other. Plus, those prints are way more adorable than those green and yellow sponges you have in your sink right now.
Promising review: "So glad I finally found an environmentally friendly sponge THAT WORKS! I tried all the other kinds of eco-friendly sponges before these - silicon (don't work on stuck stuff), vegetable fiber (got so mildew-y so fast), and even crocheted (felt so gross and didn't work great). These do the job and then after a few days I just throw them in the wash! Hooray! And they're cute!" —willowbe0416
Porter Lees is a family-owned Etsy shop based in Portland, Oregon that specializes in homemade reusable goods.
Get it from Porter Lees on Etsy for $9 (available in two terry cloth backing colors and various pack sizes).
3. A dishwasher magnet to help you keep track of the last time you did your dishes...and to prevent any dish-related quarrels in your home.
Promising review: "A stylish, functional little magnet. Eliminates the need to wonder if that cup looks dirty or is it just hard water etc. Also just looks cute on the dishwasher. I do not run mine daily as I have a small household and when it does get filled, more often than I'd like to admit, the clean dishes live in the dishwasher, getting picked off as needed. This makes that process much simpler." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.69.
4. A charcoal-based toothpaste that has thousands of 5-star ratings from reviewers with healthy, shiny, very white teeth. If you're a frequent coffee, tea, or wine drinker, this was practically made for you. Also, you're running dangerously low on toothpaste right now and you know it.
Promising review: "Love love love it! It made my mouth feel clean and fresh — and my teeth have been whitened!! I've tried the powder charcoal teeth whitener and I hated it. This product is amazing!" —Misty O'Brien-Barques
Get it from Amazon for $5.97
5. A set of bag sealers for the rare times you don't actually devour the whole bag of chips in one sitting. This will create a perfect vacuum seal to keep your food fresh, and it even has a cutting tool for when you're ready to continue your snacking sesh.
Check it out in action on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I love this little gadget. Believe it or not, I saw this on TikTok as an 'Amazon product you didn’t know you needed.' Since my older sons are on their own at college, they eat a lot of pre-packaged items. So we got one for each boy as a stocking stuffer. They were actually excited to try them out so the boys went in our pantry, opened new bags of chips and crackers just to re-seal them. Lol! It works pretty good for such a small device. The cutter even works so the bags that are mostly empty aren’t as big and don’t take up as much room. My husband wants one for our house now. Guess we’re getting another one." —Can7
Get a set of two from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four colors).
6. A reusable and machine-washable duster that fits onto the Swiffer duster handle so you can stop wasting money on the flimsy disposable refills. These will quickly get rid of the layer of dust that's been accumulating since you moved in. No judgment.
Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don’t worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch
TS Designs US is a small Etsy shop based in West Leroy, Michigan.
Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $5.49 (available in 10 colors).
7. A six-outlet wall charger, because all outlets should have room for at least six plugs at this point. This even has two extra USB ports and a night light so you and your fam can truly feel like you're living in 3008.
8. A laundry kit that lets you freshen up your dry clean only items at home — because honestly, has anyone been to the dry cleaners in the last two years? Simply pop your garments and one of the sheets in the dryer for 20 minutes — then get excited that your A-list clothes are back in the game!
Promising review: "Recently I purchased a gorgeous peacock blue, knee-length winter coat from a thrift store. I was not eager to take it to a dry cleaner due to the high charges in our area. My dear friend recommended Woolite At Home Dry Cleaner. I purchase this item from Amazon and was so very pleased with the outcome. It is fresh, clean and substantially less expensive than a commercial dry cleaner. This product did an awesome job and will recommend to all in the future!" —Nina
Get a box of six from Amazon for $8.97 (also available in packs of 14, 24, and 42).
9. A two-pack of reusable mop pads because it's time to say goodbye to the wasteful disposable ones you've been spending way too much money on. These even have helpful Velcro straps so the pad won't go flying off when you're in the middle of a good scrub session.
They're compatible with both the original Swiffer and the Swiffer Wet Jet!
Promising review: "The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary P.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.95.
10. A carpet cleaner that'll clean up everything from spaghetti mishaps in the living room to coffee spills in your car. This will basically be a lifesaver if you accidentally spilled that takeout you were eating while binge-watching the new season of Bridgerton.
Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $11.94+ (available in two sizes and various packs).
11. Or a pack of Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads to make cleaning up after pet accidents so much easier — seriously, you don't even have to scrub. Simply place a pad over the stain, press down with your foot, then remove to reveal a good-as-new carpet.
Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog that was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.90.
12. A natural all-purpose cleaner — it's safe to use on basically any surface, so you can mindlessly clean your entire home with just one bottle. It's so easy even the most cleaning-challenged person in your household can use it.
Promising review: "This cleaner is wonderful on anything! The smell is amazing and does a great job of cleaning." —JoAnn Fliehs
Humble Suds is a small Etsy shop based in Denver, Colorado.
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $24.95 (available in three scents).
13. A box of individually wrapped Shout wipes to make the mustard and wine stains on your shirt magically disappear in just a few swipes. If you're attending any Memorial Day barbecues, you'll definitely want to bring a few of these with you. Thank me later.
Promising review: "These little towelettes work amazingly well! I was first introduced to them when I was buying a beautiful white dress at a department store and I noticed that makeup line around the neck from other ladies trying it on. When I told the sales girl she said she'd get it out and whipped out one of these. Naturally, I wasn't very optimistic that it would work and boy was I wrong! She pulled out the towelette and started lightly rubbing and the foundation marks were gone!! Not only that, but it smells good and it didn't ruin the fabric she used it on! I have NEVER had a product like this work but THIS ONE DOES. I'll never be without it now!" —Erin L
Get a box of 12 from Amazon for $6.01.
14. A mountable jar opener because you shouldn't have to use every bit of your upper body strength just to open a jar of jelly.
Promising review: "I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." —Addie
Get it from Amazon for $14.49 (also available in a pack of two).
15. A set of sheet detanglers to stop your bedding from becoming a tangled mess in your washer and dryer — because there's nothing more annoying than realizing your pillowcases are still wet after getting caught in your fitted sheet during the dryer cycle.
Promising review: "I saw Wad-Free featured on a local TV segment. I was mildly skeptical. However, it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases or other items balled up and still wet when the dryer timer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the bottom so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these for gifts. LOVE this item!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.99.
16. A wrinkle releaser and fabric-freshening spray that over 15,000 Amazon reviewers swear by. It'll help you get rid of all those creases and crinkles with just a few simple sprays, so it's perfect for when you can't be bothered to pull out the iron.
Promising review: "This is literally like an iron in a bottle. It's fantastic. This morning my shirt had a crease from being folded but I didn't have time to change, so I misted just one spray on the shirt, shook it out while I was wearing it, and the crease was gone. I cannot express how much I love this! I spray it over my shirts and shake them out a couple of times then hang them up and they are completely wrinkle-free, and it smells like everything just came right out of the laundry, which is also a plus." —Kayla
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.94.
17. A bathroom cleaner made with natural ingredients to leave your tiles shining and your tub as sparkly as the day you moved in. Plus, it's free of fumes and synthetic dyes, so you won't have to worry about any mid-chore headaches.
Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try to clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." —Amber Erwin
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two sizes).
18. A dog food tracker so your fam can easily keep track of your dog's feeding schedule — because let's be honest, you can barely keep track of your own schedule these days.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just see if it's green and if not I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni Deegan
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in five other styles).
19. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray specifically designed to win the fight against the greasy nastiness that's been living on your oven door for far too long now.
20. A cleaning kit to make your ceramic cooktop look so shiny and flawless you can practically see yourself in it. It can easily chip away at all the boiled-over sauces that have accidentally become a permanent part of your stovetop.
The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.
Promising review: "As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new." —Christi Lambertson
Get it from Amazon for $9.80+ (available in two packaging styles).
21. Or a gas range cleaning spray that'll cut through grime and grease and eliminate any evidence that your significant other is a total slob — but you love them anyways.
This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let's just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I'm not particular fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we're even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about 5 minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe.
Get a two pack from Amazon for $14.87.
22. OR! A tub of cooktop wipes so you can easily swipe up any mess before it has time to become caked-on grime. It also works on microwaves if that's the only kind of oven you use on a regular basis.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I can't stand when after I am cooking how I always have oil stains and grease on my cooktop! But with one wipe I am able to now get everything off the stove. It is very convenient to be able to just use one wipe for everything!" —Debra E.
Get a pack of 30 wipes and a large microfiber cloth from Amazon for $9.97.
23. A 10-foot lightning cable that lets you charge your iPhone and iPad from basically anywhere, meaning you can avoid that dreaded moment when your phone's about to die and you're nowhere near an outlet.
Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D
Get it from Amazon for $11.04+ (available in five colors and four other sizes).
24. A granite and stone cleaner — not only will it have your countertops looking ready for the pages of Architectural Digest but it also kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria.
25. An absolutely genius tool that lets you easily spread butter on your pans before cooking or directly on hot foods like corn on the cob or fresh bread. No more ~butter fingers~!
Promising review: "Absolutely perfect. It holds a whole stick of butter and the butter stays in place, unlike with some of the other products on the market that are supposed to serve the same purpose." —Michelle
TheMagnetack is a small Etsy seller based in Miami.
Get it from TheMagnetack on Etsy for $12.95.
26. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover so you won't have to panic the next time you accidentally spill some tomato sauce on your favorite top.
Promising review: "For whatever reason, I am ALWAYS spilling things on my shirts and I cook every night (sometimes I remember the apron, sometimes I don't). My clothes are a mess by the end of the day. I'm not proud of it, but there it is. I have tried EVERYTHING there is to remove stains and this is the absolute BEST thing out there. (There is simply not a major stain remover that I have not tried.) The only thing close is a long presoak (I mean like six hours) in Oxyclean. With Puracy, you get the best result by doing it well in advance, but for me that is another plus because I would far rather spray them when I put them in the hamper than do it all at once just before I do the laundry. It seems to get everything out and I've never had any trouble with damaged fabric. I don't really review very much, but this is seriously outstanding." —NYC Buyer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).
27. A handy brush that will scrub away at every nook and cranny of your utensils, because giving them a quick swipe with your sponge is really not cutting it.
Promising review: "I recently bought a new set of knives and, even though they can go in the dishwasher, I wanted to wash them by hand so that they last longer. This is an excellent product. It allows me to wash my very sharp, new knives quickly and easily. I just put a drop of cleanser on the first knife I wash and then the soap stays in the brush while I wash many other knives! Because of the bristles on the brush, I can get even the crustiest of messes off of the knives. I just rinse the brush out when I am done and put it on the drying rack for the next use." —Erin O.
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
28. A jar of toilet fizzies — which are basically bath bombs for your toilet. Simply plop one in the bowl and let the blend of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid break down stains and kill any lingering bacteria. Oh, and it's also loaded with eucalyptus essential oil to make your porcelain throne smell like a fancy spa.
Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" —kd Bromley
Happy Earth Boutique is a woman-owned small business making healthier alternatives for your health and home.
Get it from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $12.99+ (available with or without a refillable jar).
29. A three-pronged duster to reach in between your blinds, because they are probably way dirtier than you think 😬.
The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves so you can take care of all your windows at once before giving the sleeves a good wash.
Promising review: "A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." —R.D.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
30. A 20-pack of cleaning erasers — they're more affordable than name brands but still...um...magic, if you catch my drift. These little sponges use just water to lift away tough stains — and the results are downright soothing.
Promising review: "These babies have transformed and reformed my slobby life. My dog sitter thought I got a new sink and fridge. I have never had more fun cleaning in my life — wait, I have never had any fun cleaning. But these magical creatures make it so freaking satisfying. No toxic stuff. No fumes. Just heavenly cleanliness." —Jimmy Jim Ereeno
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $12.95.
31. A pet hair remover that will pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in its wake. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again.
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion, and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open; empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
32. A pack of mosquito wipes — they're so much easier to travel with than a can of bug spray. You can directly wipe these onto any exposed skin and watch as those mosquitos fly away in pure disgust.
Promising review: "I’m that person who always gets eaten alive by mosquitoes. It’s been such a problem that I normally use heavy sprays like Deeps Woods OFF. I got really tired of how greasy and stinky these sprays were. So I tried these wipes and LOVE them. They have a pleasant scent and are not greasy at all. I went outside at 7:15 a.m. on a muggy overcast but warm morning to do yard work– prime conditions for skeeters – and am pleased to say I got ZERO bites!" —lthornton79
Get a pack of 15 from Amazon for $4.98.
33. The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray, which is everything you love about The Pink Stuff in a ridiculously convenient spray bottle. Just roam around your home and spray it all over your dirty sink, crusty oven, or grimy tub.
Promising review: "Glad I found this product on TikTok. Does 95%–100% of the job in seconds! Definitely worth the money." —Mother of 4
Get it from Amazon for $9.75 (also available in a pack of two).
34. A magnetic weekly meal-planning pad to help keep your breakfast, lunch, and dinner on track. There's even a special spot to keep your grocery list, because a meal plan is useless if you have nothing to actually cook.
Promising review: "I got this because I wanted to have some structure in my week and not have to think about what to cook for dinner every night. It has helped tremendously and I recommend it to anyone who struggles with coming up with meals on the day of. At the end of each week, I pick out everything I’m going to cook for the next week's meals and write them down and put anything I don’t already have on the shopping list. Now instead of not making something or having to make an extra trip to get ingredients, I just make one trip a week to the store and have everything I need. This definitely helped with the stress of cooking." —Chante
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five styles).
35. A reading light you can hang right around your neck so you won't disturb your partner during those nights when "just one more chapter" accidentally becomes a three-hour-long reading session.
Promising review: "This product is excellent. I was looking for a reading light to attach to my bed but none would fit. I saw this and ordered it. The light is bright and provides excellent reading quality. It is infinitely adjustable and has two settings on each side. I use both lights to read. The single flood light is good for walking around in the dark." —Beantowndoc
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors).
36. A extendable basboard duster, because be honest — when's the last time you actually cleaned them?! It can extend up to 4 feet, so you won't even have to bend over to get rid of those pesky cobwebs lingering in the corner.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." —retired
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
37. A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — quickly plop on any pimple and sit back while it shrinks your zit in just a few hours. Your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it!
Check these out on TikTok here!
Promising review: "I heard all about these on TikTok so I decided to order. I switched my birth control and was having a ton of breakouts, these are amazing! They helped me stop picking at my face and my skin is so clear now. Will always have these in my house from now on!" —Kiara Galloway
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
38. And a hand-powered chopper to make slicing veggies SOOOO much easier. Just crank the handle like a lawn-mower and let the blades do all the work for you. No more crying while chopping onions and then spending two hours trying to wash the stench off your hands!!!
See it in action here.
Promising review: "This chopper is amazing!! I love cooking, but used to absolutely HATE chopping onions... until someone gave me this chopper! Now I simply have to quarter the onion, throw it in the chopper, pull the handle about 10–15 times, and they're ready to be used! No more teary eyes or spending a long time chopping onions. The cup is big enough to fit a whole onion... I think the capacity is 3 cups. There's tons of other uses to this as well... you can chop pretty much anything from herbs, veggies and fruits, to making salsa and guacamole." —Valjulia
