1. A bottle of deep stain- and odor-removing "Carpet Miracle" shampoo solution so darn effective at tackling pet stains, ingrained dirt and grime, and food stains both old and new that you'll be able to erase all evidence of carpet shenanigans.
You can use this this with carpet cleaners from Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express, as well as rented machines from stores and steam cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a US-based, family-run small business that specializes in nontoxic, natural enzyme cleaners.
Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).
2. A bottle of wood polish to make all your scuffed-up cabinets and hardwood floors look brand spanking new in mere seconds, even if you're pretty sure the damage is older than you are.
Promising review: "AMAZING product!!!!! My daughter ate a hot bowl of soup on my wooden table and left numerous white ring marks. I tried everything to get them off and failed every time. As soon as I put the product on, it was practically brand-new again. Highly recommend this product!" —Diana V
Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.68+ (available in nine finishes).
3. Or a reviewer-beloved bottle of wood polish and conditioner to get your lackluster old floors, cabinets, and closets looking so spiffy that your friends will ask where you're hiding the time machine when they see what you've done with the place.
Promising review: "I got this product a few hours ago from Amazon and now have shiny floors! It gave the really dull hardwood floors of my prewar NYC apartment an impressive shine. Really impressive. A little goes a long way: I used only about two ounces to shine about 500 square feet of clean floors. Before using it on the floors, I tested the polish on an old wooden side table that is scarred and needs sanding. It looked a lot better afterwards." —KindleCustomer2
Get it from Amazon for $10.04.
4. The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray, which lives up to its name and *then* some considering the feats it can accomplish — people compare it to a Magic Eraser for everything from scrubbing the oven to caked-on pans to cleaning walls to getting stubborn stains off tiles and mirrors and sooooo, so much more.
Promising review: "Love the scent and how it leaves such a pretty shine and smooth feel on my counters and stovetop! A little goes a long way which makes it a very economical purchase. It is so easy to use and requires very little (if any) scrubbing. Simply spray and wipe. We have very hard water and the stains have been removed by the first use! Was so impressed with this product, I bought it for my mom and my best friend (who are all cleaning obsessed liked me). There is a bottle in the kitchen and both bathrooms as well as stocked in my cleaning closet!" —EJ
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
5. An Erase-A-Hole putty that's basically an $11 investment in keeping your walls in tip top shape no matter *how* ambitious you get with your decor. This easy three-step process will have the walls looking brand spanking new in no time flat.
Promising review: "Recommended off TikTok and I love. I didn’t realize how many holes were in the walls until I got this product! Easy to use and good filling. Much better than a tub of spackle for small fixes." —Leigh Helsel
Get it from Amazon for $10.95.
6. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk that's collected over time all in one go instead of calling a plumber.
Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.98.
7. An all-in-one picture hanging and leveling kit to accurately hang picture frames in your home *without* doing any measuring — the MagneKey in the set is designed so that it accurately marks your nail holes the first time, then adapts to your frame to perfectly level it as you put nails or hooks into position. Your walls have never been so relieved to see a new gadget in their lives!!
Go Hang It! is a father-daughter owned product started by their joint venture INSP!RED Product Development Group, which specializes in functional and stylish products inspired by their combined experience with engineering and design.
Each kit includes MagneKeys, a detachable leveler, a hardware case, 6 D-ring hangers, an 8-foot picture hanging wire, 20 nails, 22 picture hooks for various weights, 24 self-tapping screws, and 12 single-notch precision hangers.
Promising review: "We've been using Go Hang It! for a couple of weeks now. It would typically take my husband and I both to hang pictures, but now I can do it easily by myself. The magnetic keys that attach to the back of the picture frame mark exactly where my nails need to go, and I love the level that I can place at the top of the frame. I've also used it with a couple of wire frames which were easy as well! I watched their video online to make sure I did it right, but the packaging has detailed instructions too. I'll definitely recommend this to several of my friends!" —Kerry
8. Or try out a set of lightweight, stick-on "Mixtiles," which are framed photos and designs you can either choose from a vast selection on their site *or* upload directly from your own photos and order directly from them. They arrive in efficient packaging, are so lightweight that you don't have to worry about heavy lifting, and stick to any type of wall with a strong peel-off adhesive that doesn't damage the wall on removal.
I've ordered from Mixtiles four times now, and as a short individual who lives alone and has no patience for leveling or nails or any kind of DIY, I am absolutely *obsessed* with this site. So far I've blown up some fun Etsy digital downloads to go behind my bar cart, some photos from my own life for gallery walls, and a beautiful beach design from the Mixtiles site for my own room. I can attest that they're ridiculously easy to stick to the walls, and if you want to move them a second time, just as easy to peel back off and on without any issues. For being so lightweight, the framed ones look *genuinely* like they're nice, heavy, wooden frames. I feel like this is also a great deal for families, because heavy frames always make me nervous around kids — if anyone ever knocked these off a wall, it wouldn't hurt anyone like a real frame would.
Oh, and the biggest perk of all — free shipping!!!
Get it from Mixtiles at $11+ per tile (available in various sizes, frame styles, and preset designs.
9. A TubShroom, a little gizmo you can stick in your shower drain to catch all your hair before it clogs up your pipes and you have to call a professional. The hair coils around it to make it even easier to remove, making it both handy *and* semi-horrifying!
Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
10. Or if it's entirely too late for that, a drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to potentially pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners.
Promising review: "I have tried everything I could think of to unclog my tub drain, all the nasty chemicals, plunging, auger, and then I came across these plastic strips with evil teeth LOL. They arrived today, didn't come with instructions, not that you really need any. I worked and worked and pulled out the horrific, nasty, slimy hair clog. It even pulled out a plastic razor cap (thank you teenage daughters). Mind you, that clog didn't come out in one full piece (gag), but in many pieces at first, the appetizers if you will. Finally, the main course reared its ugly head. Gross. These things work and work well. A little elbow grease and will power and voilà. My tub drain completely drains now. I couldn't be happier!" —GaPeach
Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.22+ (available in two lengths).
11. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner that has a *MAJOR* fan following of parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about 150 dollars for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING 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 $108.
12. A bottle of wallpaper stripping spray so you can take care of that mildly haunted pattern the previous owners put up without feeling like you are, in fact, exorcising demons trying to tear the stubborn paper off the walls.
You can use the Chomp wallpaper scoring tool for $12.97 on Amazon to ease the process!
Promising review: "I have been putting off removing this horrid wallpaper for years, mainly because of the removal horror stories. As it turns out it was rather easy. 1. I used the Chomp scorer. Use it gently moving it in concentric circles, horizontal and vertical. 2. Use the Chomp liquid liberally, let it soak, use more, let it soak until you see paper bubble up. If paper is not coming off easily use more and let soak. Key is letting it soak. 3. Use scraper to start removal. On a large part of mine the paper and glue came off in sheets with no scraping. Other times the top layer came off and the backing and glue needed some scraping. If it's not coming off easily use more liquid and let it soak." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.97.
13. A mold and mildew removal gel you can leave on the offending spots in kitchens and bathrooms for six hours, then wipe away like nothing nefarious ever grew there in the first place.
WE SUPPORT A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!
Promising review: "I was to the point of having my shower retiled when I discovered this product. I got a grout brush and cleaned my shower the best I could like always and there were still mildew and mold stains on the grout and the seals. After I rinsed and dried my shower, I used this product, Skylarlife Home Grout Stain and Sealant Stain Whitener. It was like a miracle! After about five hours, I rinsed my shower. It looks AMAZING! Almost like new! My home is over 50 years old and this shower looks clean and in great shape! Thank you so much for this product. I will always keep a bottle on hand for touch-ups. It is the best I have ever seen." —J. Shaw
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
14. A set of discreet, dimmable strip lights so you can actually, uh, see the knife you're using to chop veggies — the lack of overhead lighting in some kitchens is no joke. Bonus — these come with a mini remote to control the intensity of the light!
You can easily install it with included adhesive that won't damage cabinets, no tools required!
Promising review: "Awesome product!! I love the ease of installation, extra pieces for a good fit. Perfect for adding some much needed light to my dark kitchen. Dimmable and comes with a remote! There's no downside!" —Breezy Lady
Get a set of six from Amazon for $20.99 (available in "white" and "warm white").
15. A fume-free oven cleaner that's gentle enough that you don't need protective gloves to use it, but tough enough that it'll erase the evidence of all your baking misadventures and that time you fell asleep while cooking pizza rolls.
Promising review: "Mine just came in the mail today and I used it right away — it works fantastically! My oven is an electric, probably slightly on the older side, and has been badly stained since before I moved into my current unit. I have tried everything I could think of to get it clean prior to finding this product and nothing worked. But after doing the two hour treatment it is almost all gone but for a few small specs here and there. I have just sprayed it again to see if those will come off too without an overnight treatment (just out of curiosity, it's perfectly clean as it is). I would recommend this product to anyone who wants an oven cleaner that works and is easy to use." —Lis Zupp
Get it from Amazon for $4.47.
16. An insulated soundproofing strip that easily sticks to the outer rims of your door, giving you some much-needed peace and quiet between thin walls while also working to make sure drafts don't get in or out of the room, preserving your heat in the winter and your AC in the summer.
17. An effective fruit fly trap for anyone who is sick and tired of bringing home a few extra flying roommates every time they buy a few bananas (pay rent, why don't you??). Each of these traps lasts up to 45 days, so you'll finally get some peace in your kitchen without getting an exterminator involved.
Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil monsters took over our house. These apple jobs are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $5.88.
18. Plus a moth trap for your pantry, so you never again have to wage war with them for the sake of your hard-earned Ritz crackers.
Promising review: "Dr. Killigan’s works better than any of the other moth traps that I have tried. Each year I’m amazed by how many moths have been caught in the traps. I have an old house with a moth problem and can’t imagine the amount of clothing damage that I would have had if we weren’t using Dr Killigan’s. I use the traps for pantry moths but have found that they work beautifully for clothing moths." —Elizabeth Prokop
Get a set of six from Amazon for $16.97 (psst — you can get a set of clothing moth traps for closets as well!).
19. An extended garden weed removal tool designed with a sharp blade and comfy handle grips to minimize pushing or pulling so you don't have to ~put your back into it~, even when the weeds are in tough spots or burrowed in deep.
Skidger is a woman-founded, US-based small business that specializes in garden weeders, garden tools, and soap.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? I love this tool! I can clean out my flowerbeds in a matter of minutes and there is no stress on my back. I have bought two more for my mom and friend." —Jai Jai
20. A fillable touch-up paint pen so you can make quick fixes on chipped paint in odd spots without going to absolute clown town with a roller and making a whole production of it.
Promising review: "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints and so far they've stayed usable, without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." —Hooked on Amazon!
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99.
21. Or if you don't have the OG paint at your disposal, a paint touch-up that comes in common present wall colors you can match to the shade of yours — especially handy if you're renting and want to make a quick fix to a scuff left by you or the humans who lived there before!
Promising review: "This product is excellent. It goes on easily and covers paint scrapes very well. I used it on a door frame that had been chipped. Now the chip is practically unnoticeable. I asked for a sample of colors before buying and received a color chart promptly. I appreciate the customer-friendly attitude of this company." —Educator
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in eight shades).
22. A set of peel-and-stick tiles so you can turn your boring old kitchen into a snazzy modern one that will make you want to film a home improvement TikTok. These are self-adhesive and strong enough to stick, but gentle on the walls for later removal!
Promising review: "I loved everything about it. I used this product in my kitchen. I like that they had a protective clear removable film on the front. It looks like real tile and you can feel the different layers of stone." —Danette Smith
Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in five styles).
23. A heavy duty grout cleaner you only need to let sit for 10 minutes before you scrub the dirt and grime from all those sneaky crevices on your older floors like it's your superpower.
Promising review: "I never leave reviews on Amazon but this grout cleaner definitely deserved a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-eez and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." —Tyler
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
24. Plus a grout pen for all those tricky areas where all the cleaning supplies and scrubbing in the world won't fully get the job done — this lets you restore your floors back to their fresh grout glory in the nick of time.
Promising review: "These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady who lived there before me really let it go. A few places stayed stained and I was worried it wouldn't cover them, but all grout areas are bright white and look new now!" —Donna Cook
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors).
25. A roll of clear heavy-duty double-sided removable tape, which did NOT come here to play — people use this for everything from mounting wall hangings and electronics to securing their vases and glass objects to tables to keeping their rugs in place. It's also easily removable and leaves no residue behind!
Promising review: "So, I bought these beautiful acrylic shelves from Amazon and the sticky adhesive wasn't bad, it just wasn't sturdy and one of my shelves fell. Luckily nothing broke, but after that I immediately ordered this tape, which I got in two days, and I installed it as soon as I got it. Beautiful!!!! Works well, very sticky, I love that it's thick because it also helped with balancing. My walls seem to not be completely straight. So with this product I was able to stick the shelves up perfectly without them looking like they are dropping over. And on that note they are great and amazing with the help of this company. Thank you!" —Trinity
Get a roll from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two sizes).
26. A gallon of self-priming paint as an easy fix for dreary walls that demand *immediate* sprucing up.

Promising review: "Love this showerhead so dang much. I replaced my standard 20-year-old apartment showerhead with this and boy oh boy does it feel like a dream. The mist feature (which I’ve never really enjoyed on previous shower heads) is so powerful and relaxing. Great product for the price!" —Maggie
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
28. A set of stainless steel cleaner and polish wipes to give all your impossible-to-clean kitchen appliances that brand-new, streak-free kind of gleam, from the fridge to the stove to the dishwasher.
Promising review: "If it was possible to give 10 stars, this product is definitely worth it. I originally bought this in the store and was most impressed with how well it cleaned the refrigerator from all finger and watermarks. My friend came over and said, 'What in the world did you clean your refrigerator with because it looks brand new?!' It is the best product I have ever used on my refrigerator and stove! Just wipe down and let it sink in, then wipe over with a clean soft towel for a polished shiny look! IT IS MARVELOUS! I SAY MARVELOUS! Don't bother with sprays! I bought two containers so that I will not run out for a long time!" —Roie

29. An electric pressure washer you can use alllllllll over your outside space on everything from the deck to the house to the outdoor furniture. Come for the cleanliness, stay for the ridiculously satisfying results.
30. A bottle of jetted tub cleaner so easy to use that literally all you have to do is run your bathwater, pour in the cleaner, and run your jets.
Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and had never used our jetted tub. One day last week I decided I needed a nice long soak, filled up the tub only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up online what the best way to clean a jetted bathtub was and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why, this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. We were so impressed, I purchased another bottle for my sister-in-law who is moving into her new house next week as a house warming gift. You will not be disappointed." —Kimmy D
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
31. A hard-water-stain remover that will spare you hours of fruitless scrubbing, plus spare your poor eyeballs the cringe of seeing a stain massacre every time you open your shower curtain.
It also works on shower doors, windshields, toilets, and tile, so you can get a ton of bang for your buck.
Promising review: "Miracle!! I really thought my shower glass was hopeless. I have tried CLR, vinegar, citric acid, a steam cleaner, and a multitude of other cleaning products, all without any luck. I didn't have high hopes for this product but it totally worked. My glass looks so much better. Mine wasn't just stained either; it had loads of mineral buildup that was hardened and nearly impossible to remove — it looked 'dirty.' I am thankful it's fixed. I would definitely recommend this to others and I will buy it again." —Kabuki
Get it from Amazon for $18.77.
32. A watermark remover cloth to easily remove marks left by water, alcohol, and heat after those moments you accidentally disrespected the coasters on your coffee table by setting your glass literally anywhere else.
Psst — this can also be used to polish metal and chrome.
Promising review: "I was beside myself! I had a haze right in the middle of my carved waves dining room table! Not a ring but a big 3"x5" area! I tried all the usual remedies, mayonnaise, beeswax, etc. to restore the surface and NOTHING was working! So I turned to Amazon and when I saw Guardsmen I jumped on this! Our family has used Guardsmen products since I was little and I am 65 years old! This worked exactly like the video showed BUT it took doing it a little at a time, over and over... BUT OMG it WORKED! If you have any problem with haze caused by moisture and heat TRY THIS! It's a MIRACLE!" —MaggieB
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
33. A fireplace cleaner kit complete with a bristled brush that will make getting rid of soot and ash stains a *total* cinch, whether your fireplace is brick, stone, or tile. (You're welcome, Santa.)
Promising review: "This product works wonders! The difference in the before and after is jaw dropping. I have never ever been able to truly see through the glass doors on my fireplace in the ten years I have lived in my home until now. I almost purchased both this product and the fireplace glass cleaner to clean my entire fireplace but am glad I saved my money. This product is all you need to clean up your fireplace, glass included. My husband and I still just cannot get over how well this stuff worked!! Now I am going to give my fireplace the makeover it deserves. Although giving it a simple cleaning with this made it look like a brand-new fireplace in itself!!!

Promising review: "I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved... Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+ year old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Ten minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" —Becky Adie
