1. A patented pet hair remover if you're tired of your home's infamous reputation for dog hair. Deploying this roller is way easier than lugging out the vacuum and it uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.
Promising reviews: "Finally a lint roller that really works. Now I have an obsessed husband picking up German shepherd hair off the couch. Worth the price paid. It will pay for itself. No more sticky tape rollers!" —Blanca LInda Hatter
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
2. A genius bag cleaner ball so when someone reaches into your purse or backpack they aren't greeted with gross piles of mystery dirt, crumbs, and sand. And it's reusable! Just take out the inner ball, give it a rinse, and it's good to toss back in your bag.
Promising review: "These are THE BEST. They collect so much dirt and dust from my tote bag and keep everything clean. Super small and easy to clean as well!!" —SueMagoo29
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in black).
3. A dryer vent cleaning kit because I can't think of a bigger red flag than not taking potential fire hazards seriously. This attaches to your vacuum to easily suck lint and other debris from the narrowest of crevices.
The entire set comes with a plastic hose, a Holikme adapter, and a vacuum hose for use with most any vacuum. Plus, a flexible lint brush!
Promising review: "I love this dryer lint extension for the vacuum. I wanted to try a cheaper option first before I spent way more money having someone clean the lint trap deep down. So much lint came out of my dryer, it was wild. I'm very good at cleaning it after using the dryer, but inevitably there's always more that we can't see or reach because it's too deep. It's a great way to keep it clear of lint to increase the efficiency of the dryer, which will save money from electricity and extend the life of the dryer, and prevent possible fires." —Cat L.
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in three colors).
4. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for taking your shower from always dirty to always clean with minimal effort. This solution not only cleans but prevents soap scum buildup, so all you have to do is give your shower a spray once a week, let it sit overnight, rinse off the next day, then — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
5. A handy bite suction tool to stop scratching your way through social situations. This will suck out the venom left behind by our bug and insect friends, reducing itchiness and swelling while getting things healed up a lot sooner.
You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice.
Promising review: "Everything that bites bites me. This easy-to-use gadget works like a charm. The itching stops within a few minutes." —Margaret M. Newburn
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors).
6. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll quickly get your feet sandal season ready by removing years' (I repeat, YEARS') worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing.
Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for five to 10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.
Promising review: "I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions...left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." —Kiki Del
Get it from Amazon for $13.87.
7. A TikTok-famous Little Green upholstery cleaner if you're tired of trying to explain away mystery stains. Take care of them once and for all with this machine's uncanny ability to effortlessly suck up messes and restore furniture, carpets, and even car interiors to their former glory.
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand-new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up: MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. If you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos
Get it from Amazon for $122.22.
8. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there's no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and smile knowing no one will suspect you picked this crumpled T-shirt from the floor.
I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer.

9. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because a less coffee-stained smile shouldn't come at the cost of increased teeth sensitivity. With this easy-to-use pen you can get fast results WITHOUT the lingering sensitivity. Now that's something to smile about!
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim when I saw someone review it on TikTok. After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

10. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches for taking care of that awful stench and the out-of-sight grime living in your garbage disposal with essentially zero effort.
Promising review: "This stuff works like no other that I know of. Just chuck it in the disposal unit per instructions and watch it do its thing better than ALL the other cleaners I have used before. Will be buying more without any doubt." —Amazon Customer
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.
11. A box of waterproof medicated pads you apply like bandages to finally force out the wart living rent-free under your skin.
Promising review: "I had a stubborn wart on my right thumb that has been there for almost a year. Went to the doctor the first time to freeze it, but it didn't completely remove the wart so I decided to try the gel. The gel helped but not for too long and the wart came back (in a couple of days). Long story short, I got these medicated Band-Aids and the results are incredibly satisfying. Used these Band-Aids every day for a week and the next week, my wart is gone. So far, it's been a week after and I haven't noticed any growth. Highly recommend!" —J

12. A quart-size cold brew maker with an airtight seal that'll keep your coffee tasting so fresh, you won't even think about spending more money at your favorite caffeine chain.
Just add coarse-ground coffee into the mesh filter, pour water into the pitcher, screw the lid on (with the filter attached and submerged in the water), let it brew for 12–24 hours, and serve. You can pour it straight over ice cubes, or cut it with water or milk. Read our Tayeka cold brew maker review!
Promising review: "I have some stomach issues and hot brewed coffee can make me feel queasy, or make my stomach hurt. The reduced acidity of using the cold brew makes a marked difference for me. The flavor is smoother and more flavorful." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and in three colors).
13. A lemon-scented cleaning gel if you're a wee bit embaressed of your crusty car cupholders, but don't have hours to spend wiping out every last crumb. Just plop this gooey godsend on whatever needs cleaning and watch as it oh-so-satisfyingly lifts dirt and dust in a snap.
Promising review: "I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with random crumbs from my husband and dog hair and it works amazing. Picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. But this definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
14. A pack of AirPod-cleaning putty so you can finally excavate all the gross gunk living in your earbuds and get back to clearly hearing every 👏 last 👏 detail 👏 of your fave true-crime podcast.
Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up that's hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five mins to clean each earbud effectively, and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product a try. SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer

15. A fast-acting lawn repair formula because, thanks to your dog's peeing, playing, and digging, your lawn has seen better days. This easy-to-use combination of grass seeds, mulch, and soil amendment is specifically designed to repair pet-induced damage and get new grass growing ASAP.
Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn well, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five sizes).
16. A pack of Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for helping all your slightly neglected plant babies live their healthiest, happiest indoor lives without any constant tending. One fertilizer spike continuously feeds plants with nutrients they need to thrive for up to two months!
Promising review: "My mother has always used the MiracleGro plant food spikes, so I grew up familiar with them. Of all the products out there, these are the easiest to use and have never burned my plants. It works like a charm for plants that are droopy and out of sorts!" —BlueFug8
Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $2.79.
17. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip to keep bulky plugs and tangled cords from being an eyesore and tripping up your guests.
Promising review: "This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" —Jay
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in three lengths).
18. A pet stain and odor eliminator that'll eliminate new and old stains (and stank) on any surface with just a quick spritz and a rinse. And if they're not impressed by your ability to revive a once pee-stained area rug, they're not worth your time, anyway.

Promising review: "This product is great and works well. I have had a long standing pet urine smell in the 1930s wood floors from a prior occupant. After several applications, the smell is gone. The product has a mild pleasing smell that dissipates over time which I really appreciate given my sensitivity to smells. Highly recommended." —Roberto

19. These slip-on acrylic shelf dividers if you've got piles of jeans, towels, and leggings that always start organized, but never exactly stay organized.
Promising review: "Love these! I even bought a second set for another closet. Super easy to slide on and reposition. I was able to downsize to one dresser by using these in our closet for shorts, workout pants, etc. I totally recommend these." —Teresa P.

20. A pet-feeding tracker so you and your housemates can't be tricked into anymore accidental extra feedings by your furry friend and their very cute feed-me eyes.
This tracker comes equipped with magnets and self-adhesive backing for multiple mounting options.
Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us who 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 to 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 (available in six styles including cat and fish editions).
21. A reusable pumice stone because you know that brown ring has been there since you moved in, but they don't. Thankfully, this will quickly take care of those tough toilet, sink, and tub stains you thought you were just going to have to live with.
Promising review: "When we bought our previously owned condo, all three of the toilets had a permanent dark ring. I must have tried at least six different cleaning products that claimed to eliminate rings. None worked. I was actually considering buying new toilets as the ring was embarrassing to me. A friend recommended the pumice toilet bowl ring remover and I was prepared to be disappointed again. But it worked perfectly. The ring is gone on all three toilets and it only took a few minutes per toilet. I don't know when I have ever been so totally satisfied with a product. It just saved me a whole lot of money and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my toilets." —lynn mcdonald
Get it from Amazon for $11.15.
22. An LED tripod ring light for FINALLY nailing your WFH video meeting setup. You'll actually want to turn your camera on at next week's meeting, and show off just how good you look thanks to its adjustable tripod, three light modes, and 10 brightness levels.
It comes with its own easy-setup tripod *and* a clip that'll let you attach your phone to the tripod, so you can take photos from different angles and know what you're doing during a photo shoot!
Promising review: "I love how portable this light is! As a freelance makeup artist, I carry a lot. This light definitely lightens my load *and* helps in dark spaces. I was pleasantly surprised with the option to have either warm light or cool light. I also love the iPhone holder so I can even capture video as I work! Just a heads-up, you need to 'twist' each section to make the stand stay put and you need to bring a plug that a USB wire can plug into. So worth the money!" —Veronica N.G.

It comes with five separators to cordon off different sizes/shapes of lids (see photos) and consolidate two of three previous lids bins into this one. Plus, according to their card insert, the company is a small, women-owned business, which I’m always happy to support." —Bridget D.

25. A bottle of wine drops if your before-bed glass of wine too often ends in a pounding headache. A few drops added to your glass works to naturally reduce sulfites and tannins in wine — the frequent culprits of "but I only had one glass" headaches.
Promising review: "Like others, I have had morning headaches after even just one glass of wine. I saw this on Amazon, and all of the reviews were favorable and had lots of detail on how well this product worked. I decided to give it a try, and YES! It does work!!! I personally do not detect a change in the taste profile of the wine, and neither could my sister who also tried it one evening. I use three drops for both red and white. For the price, I would say give it a try because I am so happy that I can now enjoy a glass or two and not worry about the onslaught of an allergic reaction!" —Vellichor
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "I bought the scratchpad as a last-ditch effort to trim my dog's very long nails. He won't let anyone touch his feet and my vet suggested putting him under sedation to get the job done. He figured out this 'game' in 15 minutes and his nails look great! I couldn't be happier! Thank you so much for creating an easy and fun alternative to clippers!" —astacy051
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in four styles and three coarseness levels).
27. A beloved-by-the-internet detangling brush because screaming pain-induced swears at your old brush is warranted, but occasionally frightening for bystanders. It's time to finally upgrade to something that will treat your kinky-curly locks with the respect they deserve.
Promising review: "I purchased this brush three weeks ago and have used it every day. I like the brush so much I ordered three more for my adult daughters. Not only is the brush gentle on my gray hair, but it also feels like I am giving myself a head massage. Also, I appreciate the wide hand base design. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is not always easy to grip an ordinary hairbrush. Plus, the brush is easy to clean. It truly glides through my wet hair." —ANS
Get it from Amazon for $12.49 (available in six colors).
28. A fragrance-free litter deodorizer for enjoying a better-smelling home without endless poop scooping. Plus, it'll help extend the life of your litter, saving you $$$.
Promising review: "This stuff works really well. My upstairs bathroom has no vent and no window, so it gets kind of stuffy, and that's really the only place upstairs that makes sense to keep a litter box. I never used that bathroom really ever because the smell of the litter box just sort of lingers in there, even when it's clean. This stuff has eliminated the smell completely. It's amazing. It does have a little bit of a chlorine smell when you first sprinkle it on, but it goes away quite quickly and doesn't bother my cat. It keeps the litter fresh for so much longer, and I don't find that I need to use very much. I just sprinkle in a bit after I clean the box and no smell." —Marie
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
29. A variety pack of ready-to-eat beans to make the responsible choice to cook instead of ordering take-out easier, even if you're short on time. Simply warm up a packet in the microwave or on the stove and you've got a delicious (and nutritious) protein to mix into any meal in minutes.
A Dozen Cousins is a small biz aiming to create healthy, plant-based options that are actually convenient and authentic. The Black-owned brand is based in San Francisco and is named after founder Ibraheem Basir's daughter, her 11 cousins, and all the family dinners they've shared.
My colleague Katy Herman is a big fan of these beans:
"This pack is from Black-owned, San Francisco–based bean brand A Dozen Cousins and comes with black beans, pinto beans, chickpea curry, red beans, refried black beans, and refried pinto beans. They're all vegan and made with avocado oil. I personally swear by their black beans, which I have just recently become completely obsessed with. They're so flavorful and perfectly seasoned and shockingly easy. Plus, one bag has about two small servings for one person, so I have leftovers the next day. I've been enjoying them with quesadillas and nachos, in homemade burrito bowls, and over microwave seasoned rice."

30. A cozy travel blanket if you're that notoriously cold person tired of aggressively air conditioned movie theaters, restaurants, and flights putting a damper on your fun. This is no wimpy shawl, but rather a nearly six-foot-long, medium weight blanket with an included carrier handle you can keep in the car for emergencies or mount on your carry-on.

Promising review: "If you have gaps between your stove and your counters (like most of us), you need these! They wipe up nicely, and I throw them in the dishwasher every couple of weeks for maintenance. The best part? NOTHING falls in that little gap anymore! :)" —Chelzie
