    40 Things To Help You Take Care Of That Task You Said Could Wait Until Spring

    Consider your to-do list a to-done list.

    1. A flexible drain snake to trick you into thinking you're a plumber with its "micro-hook" head and rotating handle for 360-degree clog removal. Just keep a barf bag nearby for when you pull up the wet, hairy monster living in your pipes.

    2. A headlight restoration kit if you've spent the winter squinting because your lights just aren't shining as bright as they used to. This kit attaches to your standard electric drill, so you can get crystal clear headlights without the expensive trip to the repair shop.

    3. A reusable pumice stone because you just can't stand the sight of those toilet, sink, and tub rings any longer.

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

    5. A space-saving drawer organizer so you can actually find the cutlery you need when you need it instead of rummaging through a pile of potentially painful pointy things.

    6. A white and marble cosmetics organizer for finally getting a handle on your ever-growing pile of lotions and potions and probably discovering one or two you forgot about along the way.

    7. A makeup brush cleaner to give your brushes the deep cleaning they (and your face) have been craving instead of the usual cursory rinse. This handy gadget will whip and whirl your brushes around until nary a speck of makeup or water is left.

    8. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste if you're looking for a spring cleaning multitasker to tackle everything from burnt-on food to scuff marks without endless, abrasive scrubbing that might end up doing more harm than good to the surface underneath.

    9. Dishwasher cleaning tablets because the funky smell emanating from your dishwasher has been haunting you since Christmas and these tablets make giving your cleaning machine a deep internal clean as easy as...well...running the dishwasher.

    10. A wall-mounted yard tool storage rack that'll eliminate the precarious pile of rakes and shovels dominating that one corner of your garage. Now that you're not getting attacked by falling tools, you might actually be motivated to start tackling your outdoor spring checklist!

    11. A gutter scoop so you can spare your hands from the terrifying sludge fest going on in your gutters and get all those dead leaves and mud out of there without, ya know, actually touching it.

    12. A fast-drying grout paint pen for help covering up years of dingy staining in your tile cracks. Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities.

    13. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches to take care of all the out-of-sight grime that's living in your garbage disposal and causing that stench you're getting just a little too used to having around.

    14. A microfiber window blind cleaner if your regular feather duster is failing to clean every last nook and cranny. This genius solution has three blades so you can clean the tops and bottoms of two blinds at once — effective and efficient!

    15. A pack of chipboard ribbon spools because you've got a long list of springtime crafts to get to, and your exploding craft drawer is currently in no shape to make that happen.

    16. A hard water stain remover that'll take care of the questionable film making your shower glass look permanently foggy. Side effects might include running into your nearly invisible shower door — it'll be that clean.

    17. A stackable bottle rack so you can finally take down the "DO NOT ENTER" sign on that one cabinet that's guaranteed to pummel you with bottles and thermoses every time you open it.

    18. A bottle of Goo Gone degreaser spray for quickly banishing grease and baked-on food from counters, stoves, and cookware without waiting around for hours to see results. This one-step cleaner requires zero presoaking and is gentle enough to use daily.

    19. Plus, a nonscratch cooktop cleaning kit with everything you need to make your always vaguely greasy stove top look as good as the day you moved in (or better).

    20. A tiered under-sink organizer rack that's both height- and width-adjustable if a future where you're no longer attacked by tumbling spray bottles whenever you go under your sink for a garbage bag sounds appealing to you.

    21. A jetted bathtub cleaner because it's not-so-secretly been ages since you fished out the grime living in your Jacuzzi jets. Now just fill your tub with water, pour the cleaner in, run your jets, and let the "yuck" seep out.

    22. A wood polish that'll revitalize your banged-up coffee table after a year of heavy use with a combination of beeswax and orange oil that simultaneously conditions and protects wood.

    23. A set of refrigerator bins so you can get organized and enjoy opening your fridge to find a snack almost as much as you enjoy eating said snack.

    24. A lightweight carpet shampooer for lifting years worth of caked-on stains (Fido's contributions included) and cutting down on those exorbitant professional carpet-cleaning bills.

    25. A two-sided tea bag organizer to clear up some major cabinet space by finally throwing out all those half-empty tea boxes.

    26. A felt purse insert if finding something in your purse tends to feel like a full-on archeological dig.

    27. A self-adhesive door draft stopper because you're still raging about last spring's astronomical electric bills thanks to your good friend the ~air conditioner~. Simply cut to size and stick on any door to guard against drafts, noise, under-door lights, and wasted money down the drain.

    28. A pack of moldable glue that'll quickly become your go-to for tackling a range of repair projects from sealing off a leaky tap to reinforcing the frayed ends of your phone charging cord.

    29. A rubber wheel so you and your car can forget about those bumper stickers you picked out in college. This drill attachment will make quick work of stuck-on decals and stickers without damaging the paint underneath one bit!

    30. A game-changing pan and lid organizer for turning your cabinet, which is home to a teetering pan pyramid, into an organized oasis where loudly banging cookware is not permitted.

    31. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner to finally take care of all that cooked-on food splatter. Just fill her with vinegar and water, pop her in the microwave, and she'll blow off enough steam to leave you with a squeaky clean microwave.

    32. A cleanser and polishing powder if your pots and pans are looking a little dingy and your spring plans do not involve forking over hundreds of dollars for a new set. A little powder and elbow grease and your well-loved skillet will look years younger.

    33. A pet nail file board because your dramatic doggo can't stand to have their nails trimmed, but it's gotta happen! This works just like an emery board to file down any sharp edges scratching up you, your floors, and your furniture.

    ScratchPad for Dogs is the Atlanta-based Etsy shop that created this genius paw maintenance invention. 

    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

    34. A pack of vacuum storage bags that'll give you back SO much storage space whenever you get around to swapping out your spring and winter clothes. Just fill up a bag with clothes, towels, or other linens, suck out the air, and watch the pile shrink down to a fraction of its original size!

    35. A folding board so you can return to your retail job roots and make reorganizing drawers or just folding laundry as quick and painless as possible.

    36. A zipper repair kit with easy-to-install replacements for easily fixing the jacket zipper you broke last spring and forgot about until you pulled it out to wear this spring.

    37. A set of reusable Wad-Free tools (from Shark Tank!) to help you get through laundry day without getting derailed by tangled bedsheets. You've got loads of linens to wash, and these help maintain a balanced washer drum, reduce dry times, and prevent wet clothes from getting trapped in the sheets.

    38. A grill scrubbin' stone if you need to get your grill in fighting shape for backyard BBQ season.

    39. A slim cleaning brush for going where no sponge or rag has gone before. Its ultra-thin design can fit into hard-to-reach window and door tracks, and the handle doubles as a scraper for stuck-on debris.

    40. An all-purpose car cleaner that'll leave every plastic, leather, rubber, carpet, and fabric nook and cranny of your car's interior squeaky-clean without the expensive trip to the detailer.
