1. A Roomba because how the heck is something declared "self-vacuuming" not a low-effort essential? A Roomba is the textbook definition of tidy on wheels, and all you need to do is turn it on, charge, and repeat.
2. A double storage ottoman that'll look so fancy, all while giving you the luxury of keeping the household tidy. You can store a ton as this is double the size of a normal ottoman and perfect for storing a living room's miscellaneous items.
3. A set of pantry bins to help you keep the often tough-to-organize refrigerator living its best life with perfect uniformity. You would be shocked how easy it is to keep the refrigerator (or "Icebox" if you were born shortly after WW2) looking neat with just a few bins.
4. A set of under-the-bed-storage containers so you can reduce the clutter in your room into unassuming bins under the bed. The ample room beneath the mattress is just free real estate for storage, and these containers are fit for your queen- or king-size bed.
5. A hanging shoe storage organizer because sometimes a tidy house can be as simple as just picking up your shoes (or your roommate's shoes if need be). If you have a rail, all you need to do is attach this and witness once unfathomable organization.
6. A ToiletWand that'll deliver crisp azure blue water to your toilet every time. Cleaning the bathroom is not enjoyable for many reasons; however, these disposable scrubbing pads sanitize the throne with little effort on your part.
7. A loveseat cover to show you that Spot can still enjoy her afternoon naps while you can still appreciate resting on a loveseat without any fur. Just drape your loveseat with this cover and prevent any particulates from intruding, and then pop it in the washer when it's time for a refresher.
8. An automatic cleaning litter box — even Whiskers will tell you that cleaning the littler box isn't the easiest task in the household. Let's hold the gags and barfs and opt for a little box that does almost all the cleaning for you.
9. A bottle of oven cleaner that'll help you keep your oven sparkling with little more than some spritzing and wiping. A nifty little bottle of oven cleaner can purify the most heinous oven accidents in a breeze.
10. A laundry hamper because the best way to ease the laundry bottleneck scattered about is to put the dirty laundry in a designated space. This hamper can hold a ton while having a nice minimal aesthetic.
11. A hand vacuum aka the perfect middle ground between a big, bulky vacuum and trying to clean the couch with a Roomba. This vacuum is suspiciously powerful given how lightweight it is — pet fur and ambient dust will stand no chance.
12. A seven-pack of Magic Erasers to help assure you that doing the absolute bare minimum is the best move ever. As a proud owner of Magic Erasers, I find that these are (obviously) ~magical~ when it comes to erasing grime from the bathroom or anywhere in the house with little more than some elbow grease.
13. A bottle of Clorox spray that'll actually keep your surfaces clean while also looking sleek and sparkling. Not much to this one; I use it all the time to clean with and trust that it will always get the job done.
14. A key rack because no one wants to spend their morning trying to find their car keys under piles of mail and pizza boxes. This little rack will get rid of any morning stress with a few hooks for your keys, purse, and umbrella.
15. A box of roach bait so you can turn a very, very unenjoyable task into a slightly better obligation with little more than laying some bait stations around the home. Nothing in the rulebook says that this can't be simple, and it doesn't get any easier than this.
16. A shower caddy for providing you the extra space needed to have the most enjoyable showering experience possible. Simply connect some rails, hang over the shower head, and bear witness to seemingly unlimited space.
17. A parts cabinet that'll help you keep all the proverbial tools of your trade tucked away and free from damage. The messy tiny bits add up and create a huge mess over time; instead, one humble cabinet will be enough to keep your garage looking tidy 24/7 no matter the project.
18. A trash can because a wise raccoon meme once told me that there is no trash cannot, there is only trash can 🦝. A trash can will, of course, keep the home tidy, but one as big as this one (45 liters) will prevent you from making trips to the curb multiple times a week.
19. A bottle of Clorox disinfecting wipes if that gross spot by the shower is starting to become sentient and it's not pretty. But don't fret; a few simple swipes with one of these will turn dank into dazzling.
20. A toy organizer — while there's no morning rush like that of stepping on a Lego, you could also, you know, just get a cup of coffee. It's never too early to teach the little ones quick, efficient cleaning methods, and simply having them put their toys in designated bins — so you can see the floor again — is an excellent first step.
