    34 Products You Never Knew You Needed (But Absolutely Do)

    Painless hair ties, a rechargeable lighter, waterless pet shampoo, and a whole bunch of other game-changers.

    1. A dryer vent cleaning kit that attaches to your vacuum to suck lint and other debris (aka major fire hazards) from the narrowest of crevices.

    2. A six-outlet extender with two USB ports and a built-in night-light for quickly powering ALL your devices (yes, even the ones with huge charging cords) and freeing your feet from the tangled wire nest under your desk.

    3. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can finally tackle all those annoying scuffs and stains other cleaners couldn't handle without abrasive scrubbing, which sometimes causes more harm than good.

    4. A patented pet hair remover if Fido's hair is taking over every surface in your home. This roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint, meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.

    5. A volcanic stone face roller to soak up excess face oil even if you have makeup on! Unlike blotting papers, this roller is able to be washed and reused, reducing waste and saving you $$$.

    6. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because the inside of your Keurig is likely coated with residue from old brews. Now you can give your machine regular deep cleans in the same amount of time it takes to make a cup o' joe. Side effects may include better-tasting coffee.
