1. A rubber broom for your rugs and carpets, because it's basically a magnet for all that embedded pet fur, and you won't have to lug around a vacuum. The built-in squeegee is also effective on hardwood, tile, and other flat surfaces to clean up any messy spills. Plus, the handle extends up to 5 feet long!
Promising review: "I bought this broom two years ago and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." —Roseann

2. A far-reaching dryer vent lint brush capable of getting deeeep in there to scoop out all that gross trapped lint clogging your vents. Even if you clean out your lint trap religiously, there's still a ton of debris that falls through, which can be a fire risk and make your dryer run less efficiently.
Promising review: "Why didn’t I know about this sooner?! A must-have for anyone annoyed at the amount of dryer lint left behind when you pull out the lint catcher. Now I can get it all. Note: you’ll probably need to vacuum more after cleaning it out." —Interpreter
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99.
3. A two-tier, slide-out basket to tackle the mountain of mess underneath your sink. The space-efficient design is perfect for holding toiletries, makeup, cleaning supplies, and other supplies, with dividers in each basket adding yet another level of ~organization~. You could use these in the bathroom or kitchen!
Promising review: "These are great if you have limited bathroom storage. You can put several items in each drawer. They are easy to pull in/out, and if you want to take the drawers out completely to remove the basket, they aren’t stuck on a track, which I like. Great quality materials, sturdy, and easy to clean." —ee
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
4. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that vacuums and mops hard floors 👏 at the same time 👏 and does it well, because it always cleans with fresh water (the dirty water goes in a separate tank). It has a lightweight, self-propelled design and will leave your floors dry and streak-free in just minutes — on to the next cleaning task!
Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use.
"Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen and entryway and hall before self cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time) I would buy another." —Tsippi
Get it from Amazon for $219.
5. Clear fridge organizing bins for stashing your produce, drinks, and more. It won't just make your fridge look like something out of a magazine; it'll also help you get through all that expensive food you bought before it goes bad thanks to the clear design that lets you see everything at a glance.
Promising review: "Ok, I'm a bit of an over-organizer (if there is such a thing). But my refrigerator was seriously lacking in organization. These beauties did the trick. No more fruit rolling around, grapes being crushed, cheese sticks everywhere, cold cuts hiding. I love them. And they make keeping the refrigerator clean easy, pop them out and rinse." —DLWH
Get a set of eight bins for $19.98 (also available in other sets).
6. A pack of duster sponges to help you stay on top of all the dust that seems to magically reappear in your home every few days. Their curved ridges are designed to trap dust and pet hair (and actually pick it up, not just move it around). These are reusable and just need to be soaked and softened before use to unlock their full cleaning power!
These are super similar to the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster that's always sold out (and cheaper, too).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer says, "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!"
Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs).
7. And a slim microfiber duster for getting into those places you just can't reach, or maneuvering around tight areas. It attracts dust like nobody's business — no cleaning chemicals needed — and when you're done, the fluffy part snaps off so you can throw it in the wash.
Promising review: "Very practical, picks up a lot of dust and traps it. I love that I can throw the orange fluffy part in the wash and reuse it, much better than disposable dusters. I’ve used this on furniture, the fireplace mantel, light fixtures, lamps, electronics, ceiling fans. Works great." —TNTHE
Get it from Amazon for $11.99. (If you have lots of high, hard-to-reach spaces in your home, they also make an expanding duster for $17.99.)
8. A broom and mop organizer because you're tired of the broom, mop, and duster falling on top of you every time you open your utility closet.
This comes from Berry Ave, a small business that makes organization products.
Promising reviews: "Holds better than any rack I've had. Nothing falls off and the hooks are a welcome addition for holding the small items. This is my second one, as I liked the first one so well." —Jami Wallis
"Sturdy and strong. I tried other brands but they are not strong enough to hold brooms. This one really works. I wish there was more space between each holder, but otherwise I'm very satisfied." —eb
Get it from Amazon for $15.97 (available in four colors).
9. A bottle of Angry Orange citrus deodorizer for those reeeally strong pet odors that make you gag and form excuses to never invite guests over. It targets those awful pee smells and destroys them, leaving behind a heavenly citrusy scent that — bonus points — your cat or dog will hate, so it may even encourage them to stop targeting a certain area.
Use a UV blacklight (as shown above) to find urine spots you didn't even know were there!
Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.
Promising reviews: "We have three cats, two of which are Maine Coons, and one of our young female Maine Coon cats has been urinating on the rug in the bathroom. We bought this stuff, sprayed it on the rug, and she went in to investigate — smelled the rug, pretty much gagged, and hasn't been in the bathroom since. Highly recommend, this stuff smells great!" —TBOZ
"I love my dogs, stink and all. But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can't afford the water to wash their beds every week. I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed, and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell. 👍👍👍" —ocdmax
Get it from Amazon for $17.96+.
10. And a ChomChom pet hair roller if your pets love to sprawl out on your furniture and leave a thick layer of hair behind. The ChomChom roller doesn't mess with sticky tapes or paper; instead, you get a reusable brush that grabs up every bit of hair and lint as you clean — just empty it out after, and you're good to go again!
The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).
11. Some Rain-X shower door cleaner so you can roll up your sleeves and go to town on those cloudy shower doors you haven't been able to see out of for like...years. Get ready for them to sparkle like they're brand new.
Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Get it from Amazon for $11.65.
12. And an all-purpose squeegee that'll feel *extra* satisfying against your shower walls, windows, and mirrors as it wipes away all that nasty buildup. Bonus: It comes with a suction hook for hanging and comes in several finishes (including brass and bronze) to blend in with the rest of your bathroom ~aesthetic~.
Many people end up just hanging this inside their shower so it's always there for some quick cleaning!
Promising review: "I bought this squeegee to replace our plastic one that was old and warped. I love that this one is much wider than our previous squeegee, so it takes less time to clean our glass-enclosed shower. It also has a really nice weight to it. It feels sturdy in your hand, and the weight helps to pull it down to the bottom of the glass wall/door. The hanger feels secure, and I love having it out of the way (our previous one sat on the shower bench). Happy so far." —shellyrae1
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
13. A set of two adhesive shower shelves if you're tired of accidentally knocking over your shampoo and conditioner every time you step into the bath. These look super nice and have plenty of room for all your shower supplies, so they're not haphazardly scattered around the edge of your tub.
Promising review: "This is my second time purchasing!! When I moved into my house, both of the showers had no shelving or anywhere to place my bottles without blocking the entrance/exit to the tub. My family mainly uses the second bathroom, and they would leave bottles covering the tub floor so you could hardly stand comfortably in the shower. I tried these shelves out previously in my first master bath, and they are absolutely perfect!! They give off such a simple industrial look, and they are nice quality and pretty sturdy. They even were able to hold all of my bottles!!! So I repurchased these for my second bathroom and I am again very satisfied with these!! They come with a thick plastic sticker with little plastic hooks that the metal storage pops into place, and this is all very easy to install!!" —Sierra Ravinski
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).
14. A foaming carpet shampoo — next on your list: your car interior and the cookie crumbs, spilled McDonald's ketchup, and muddy boot prints that have lingered there for far too long. Its foaming formula actually floats dirt particles to the top for easy cleaning and leaves the fabric feeling soft and smelling fresh.
It's citrus scented so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "last week's Taco Bell."
Promising review: "Sorcery. The only possible explanation. I would’ve been happy if this stuff worked half as well as the reviews made it seem. But holy cow, this fabric cleaner is ~ i n c r e d i b l e ~. I bought a '93 Jeep recently, and the inside was pretty gross (check out the photos). The fabric upholstery looked like someone’s Pepsi had exploded everywhere, with dark, drippy stains and spots all over the seats. After using this cleaner with a drill brush, these seats look amazing! It takes some work to really get in there and work a lather, but hoo boy is it worth it. Check out the before and after photos! I’m so pumped. This stuff is great! Definitely a lifelong customer now." —S. Wheeler
Get it from Amazon for $14.98+ (available in four sizes).
15. A vertical shoe tower so you can stop tripping over the boots, sneakers, and sandals piled up by the front door. It's sleek and space efficient!
Promising review: "This little guy is great. Normally, my staircase has shoes all over it. Now, the shoes are in their tower by the staircase, and it’s pretty awesome...maybe in part because my partner and I can now see who isn’t putting their shoes up! It’s a great, sleek design and takes up so little space. I can walk around with it if I need to because it’s durable and sturdy, and was ridiculously easy to put together. Yes, it’s more than many other shoe trees, but it’s worth it for the footprint (or lack thereof!) and that it’s going to last for a really long time." —Skyrocketocelot
Get it from Amazon for $61 (available in black and white and five styles).
16. Or a hanging shoe organizer to take advantage of space I'm guessing is currently unused: the back of your closet door. It has 24 clear pockets so you can quickly grab the pair you need without having to search for your other sneaker, buried somewhere under a mountain of shoes.
And check out more of the best shoe organizers to explore other solutions!
BTW, this is great for storing all sorts of things beyond just shoes, including fashion accessories and pantry essentials, so you could use it to declutter many different areas.
Promising review: "Prior to making this purchase, my family would toss their shoes in an empty diaper box that immediately invaded the entryway space. It was chaos but this product has provided a place that is close to the front door and out of the walkway. Plus I enjoy having the ability to neatly organize all of our shoes." –Cayja Vu
Get it from Amazon for $7.47 (available in seven colors and two sizes).
17. Some Goo Gone that'll cut through sticky residue, grease, gum, glue, and any other gooey messes driving you wild. There's nothing worse than feeling that slimy layer and watching your usual cleaning attempts fall short of removing it all — with this stuff, it's about to be a thing of the past.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown says, "I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling.
"Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged."
Get a bottle from Amazon for $8.26.
18. A 20-pack (!) of extra thick magic cleaning pads most reviewers agree is a great swap for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They're extra durable, so you can put them to work on your toughest cleaning jobs and watch the mess just ✨ disappear ✨.
Promising reviews: "I use them for cleaning all over my apartment. Brought my semi permanent hair dye-stained tub back to life!" —Hogan
"I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies." —Heather C
Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos).
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.
19. A slim magnetic stove shelf, perfect for smaller kitchens where counter space is at a premium. This magnetic shelf attaches to the top of your stove with zero installation required, giving you a very handy spot to store your oil dispenser, salt and pepper, and other go-to cooking spices and tools.
StoveShelf is a US-based small business that specializes in stove shelves for various sizes of stoves.
Check it out on TikTok!
I picked up the StoveShelf in the white 20-inch apartment size a while back, and I'm *obsessed* with how it uses and fills the space above my teensy stove. The magnets under are S-T-R-O-N-G, but you can still move them around with ease. That's a good thing, because if your stovetop is curved (or straight-up dented on top, like mine...lol), you may need to adjust the positioning of the magnets so that the StoveShelf sits flat on top and items don't slide off. (I found that positioning the magnets near the front allowed the StoveShelf to sit further back and maintain a flat level position.) As a backup option, though, I found that it works just as well when you put it on backwards so that the lip on the back faces the front — this keeps any items on top from sliding off!
Promising review: "This is amazing, and I have no idea I didn’t buy one of these years ago!!! My new stove wouldn’t get close enough to the wall to allow me to rest anything on top without it falling behind. This was absolutely PERFECT. I am very happy that the magnets provided were able to be moved. This allowed me to place them perfectly for maximum hold because my top was slightly curved." —JStill
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three colors and three sizes).
20. And for your cabinets: A U-shaped shelf organizer that'll make better use of your vertical cabinet space so you can quickly find what you need at a glance.
You can get several if needed, arranging them side by side if your shelf is wide enough, or stacking them if you have a tall cabinet.
Promising review: "Product is perfect for what I need it to do. Fits just right, is more than sturdy enough, and has made my absolutely nightmarish spice cabinet look awesome. No more duplicate spices going bad in the back of the cabinet! It’s not at all difficult to assemble. Watch the assembly videos (they’re short) before you start opening the parts bags. Otherwise, it’s easy to get intimidated by all of the extra pieces." —Congaree
Get it from Amazon for $27.98.
21. An eco-friendly oven scrub, because that baked-on grease and food from years ago is no match for this all-natural paste. It's handmade with a blend of plant- and mineral-derived ingredients, like eucalyptus, lemon, and peppermint essential oils; pumice stone; and baking soda.
Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based Etsy shop filled with natural cleaning products and tools.
Promising review: "LOVE IT! Oven door is a constant struggle. I hate chemical cleaners, so I thought I would try this. I bought the Lift scent and the unscented. The Lift smells fantastic, natural, not chemically, and the Clear truly is unscented. Works beautifully! I think the combo of grit in the scrub plus the metal scrubbie are magic together. I wore nitrile gloves and the scrubbie did end up poking a hole in them, so keep that in mind if you just got a mani or don’t want rough nails — use thick gloves. It does require elbow grease, because, hello, baked on bits of grease! But was very simple to use. Just smeared it on, added a little H2O to the scrubbie and went to town. Very impressed! I used not even 5% of one jar (for just the very dirty door) so it seems like it will last a while. Way better than BKF and wipes off easily. LOVE IT!!" —aniebauer
Get it from Everneat on Etsy or Amazon for $19.99 (available in three scents).
22. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets capable of removing the nasty buildup inside your dishwasher that's looking so gross, you might be thinking about replacing the machine entirely. Just add a tablet, run a normal wash cycle, and watch lime and mineral buildup disappear, leaving your dishwasher clean and shiny.
Promising review: "Works really well! It's easy to use, can be done with or without dishes in there. It REALLY helped clean the dishwasher and now I use one each month as suggested to keep it clean. The glasses don't have that 'film' anymore (and I always used a rinse agent too, but we have a lot of lime in our water). I feel like the dishwasher is working better too, not that it had any problems before but it seems quieter now. I'm very satisfied with these." —BH
Get a pack of six tablets on Amazon for $8.49.
23. An automatic makeup brush cleaner because you know your makeup brushes are due for a wash, and while you're on a cleaning spree, why not do something about it! Combined with some water and makeup brush shampoo, this spinning textured bowl will remove all the caked-on foundation, blush, and powder lingering on your brushes until they take on a whole new color: their original one, hiding under all that buildup.
This has a one-button operation and achieves a faster, deeper clean that'll be soooo satisfying to witness.
Promising reviews: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty well. I added a few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… it’s amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it, girl!" —Mariela
"I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors).
24. And a large capacity rotating makeup organizer to tidy up all the cosmetics scattered across your dresser or vanity. You can spin it all the way around to find what you need, like you're shopping in a store (but it's your own collection)!
25. An over-cabinet hair care station so you can address the absolute chaos that is your hair dryer, straightener, and curling iron all tangled together in a drawer or under the sink. This'll keep them neatly separate and out of the way, which also frees up space to store other things.
Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but this metal basket minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. Worth the buy." —Alyssa Jewell
Get it from Amazon for $15.74+ (available in five colors).
26. An effective grout cleaner that'll let you get deep into the crevices and scrub away years of built-up dirt — if you've owned your home for a while, you may have even forgotten what it used to look like! Time to turn back the clock to the day you moved in.
Promising reviews: "Did a great job cleaning grime off of the 15-year tile. Wished I had known about it years ago. I’ve used different products and had tile professionally cleaned with poor results in the past." —ML
"I wish I had bought this sooner. I knew my grout was dirty but I didn't realize how disgusting it was until I used this cleaner. Sprayed it on and waited three minutes. I then used the brush to agitate the dirt in the grout, which was much easier than I expected it to be — I thought I was going to have to scrub hard. Instead, it was a very simple back-and-forth motion and the dirt immediately came loose and out of the grout. I then used a very wet dish towel to clean up the cleaner and dirt. The results were significantly better than I anticipated. I'm buying more to finish my entire home." —FatherOf4
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (also available in packs with a scrubber brush).
27. And a Rubbermaid power scrubber if you really want to show your grout who's boss. This electric toothbrush-style scrubber takes some of the manual work out of this often tedious cleaning process, and once your tile floors are left sparkling, you can put it to work on dirty fixtures, tight corners, and other small areas.
It comes with four AA batteries to get you started!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is obsessed with this lil' tool: "This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.
"Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."
Get it from Amazon for $22.43.

28. A toddler-size storage shelf perfect for storing and organizing your kiddo's toys. It'll also keep everything visible so they can actually see and play with *all* of their figures, blocks, and plushies.
It has 12 standard-size open storage plastic bins and four double-size open storage plastic bins.
Promising review: "Now my daughter can see all of her toys. Before, everything was in the toy box, which itself took up a lot of room, but my daughter only played with the toys at the top. Now that all of her toys are visible, she plays with all of them all the time. I love that the bins are interchangeable too. They don’t have a set spot and can go anywhere." —Rachael_Roc
Get it from Amazon for $54.98+ (available in 10 styles).
29. And for the fur babies: A large woven basket to throw all those cat toys into when guests are coming over, or after evening playtime — because the last thing you want is to step on a plastic mouse toy during that 3 a.m. walk to the bathroom.
I have this exact basket (as shown above) and absolutely love having it to throw my cats' many, many toys into while tidying up. It's super cute and spacious enough to hold all of their toys, even the bigger ones. One thing I especially love about it that was unexpected is that the soft outer walls make it easy for my cats to reach in and pull toys out of it themselves, if they're in the mood to play when I'm busy or not around. I'll often look over to find my youngest, Chicho (that's him above) diving into this basket with his lil' butt up in the air — it's the cutest thing ever, and it also lets me know he's ready to PLAY.
Get it from Amazon for $22.09 (available in nine styles, including other animals).
30. Some Keurig cleaning pods if your morning cup of joe is starting to taste a little funky. Just run a couple of regular cycles using one of these bad boys, and it'll remove the built-up grinds and residue without you needing to lift a finger.
You can use it up to once a week or so. Basically, it cleans all the built-up coffee residue and oils from the brew chamber and the pour spout, which will keep your coffee tasting more like it's supposed to (especially if you switch between different coffees on a regular basis). It's also good to use right before a tea or hot chocolate K-Cup so you don't have any coffee flavor contaminating it. Note that you'll still have to occasionally do the vinegar descaling process — these don't touch the water chamber or the other inner parts that get the mineral buildup from water — but you can use this along with that for for a truly deep clean.
Promising review: "I could not believe the gunk this product removed from just the dispenser portion of my machine. It only requires the time it takes to run the cycles, too — no long waiting for the product to work. It actually looks and smells like denture cleaner, creating a thick foam over blue solution on the first cycle. Then it's just running the rest of the solution through, which is minimal, and then rinsing. Couldn't be much easier unless you get someone else to do it for you. If you have a K-cup machine, get these." —Robin Alwine
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $13.50.
31. A pumice cleaning stone to tackle the buildup in your toilet — it's capable of removing the rust, mineral deposits, and stains that you can't bear to look at for one more day without damaging your porcelain.
Use gentle back-and-forth motions to remove stains and deposits from inside the toilet bowl, and voila!
Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves hard water buildup and nasty stains. It’s embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. I had many failed experiments and one that was semi-successful. The before picture [above] of the toilet was after five sessions of an hour plus scrubbing with the semi-successful option (you can see where the ring is more faint to the left). Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn’t break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" —Stephanie Ray
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a two-pack).
32. A popular set of clear drawer organizers you can use to finally declutter *that* drawer (you know the one!) that's simply overflowing with small, jumbled items. It's a simple yet game-changing solution for separating your pens from your pencils, your mascaras from your lipsticks, your bobby pins from your scrunchies, and anything else that could use its own, dedicated spot.
This six-piece stackable set gets you two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins. And you can use them everywhere, from your work drawer to the bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom vanity.
Promising review: "I was able to take this mess of a junk drawer, where I couldn't find a dang thing, and turn it into a work of art. It was so satisfying to make this drawer functional. These containers fit really well into this oversized drawer and I'm able to see what I need clearly." —akrei7
Get it from Amazon for $13.49 (also available in an 12-piece set).
33. A two-sided tea stand to get rid of the mountain of open tea boxes currently occupying a cabinet in your kitchen. It takes up a fraction of the space and makes it easier to find the exact blend you're craving for your daily brew.
You can choose between 80-bag or 120-bag stands with eight or 12 removable bins, respectively. Also, reviewers split this in two to mount them all the way vertically as a DIY solution!
BTW, this is from woman-owned small biz YouCopia.
Promising review: "Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That's what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But, as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!" —Sarah C.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two sizes).
34. An acrylic belt organizer to wrangle your belt collection into a sleek, organized package that'll take up very little space, help you grab the one you need quickly, and display them nicely.
You can even mount several of these on the wall, as shown above on the right! Do note the dimensions for this on the listing, as some larger belts may not fit.
Elypro is a small biz that makes all sorts of genius organization products — check out their coffee mug organizers that let you stack them on top of each other safely if you need more space in your cabinet!
Promising review: "Love this thing. I try to keep all the basic belt colors I need, like black, gray, brown, white, and navy blue, so the five slots work perfectly. I like having the option of mounting it on the wall, but it is pretty sleek on my dresser. I was getting tired of my belts looking like snakes on my dresser since I like to keep them coiled." —Aaron Ortiz
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
35. A set of two invisible floating shelves if you don't have a bathroom cupboard, or simply need more space for all your toiletries. This'll let you display them neatly without them cluttering up your counter (shoutout to those NYC bathrooms with approximately 1 inch of space on each side of the sink).
These are narrower than most, so they don't add much bulk to your wall. You could also set these up inside a shower, as there are actually discreet drainage holes on each side.
Promising review: "I wanted a very simple look to hold all my skincare products. I have a tiny bathroom so I figured a couple of small shelves would look best. This was the perfect buy! I fit all my skincare products between the two shelves and now my bathroom is clutter-free! They are super sturdy and easy to install." —Cecily
Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and an option with ends).
36. Hope's Perfect Sink Cleaner and Polish, made to restore brushed stainless steel, porcelain, cast-iron, and other surfaces to their former glory so you can skip replacing your entire sink.
Promising review: "We bought our house two years ago. Prior to us, it had been used and abused as a rental house for about a decade. Our porcelain kitchen sink was just disgusting. My husband tried his best when we first moved in to get it to even resemble the original white, but the bottoms were just permanently stained a tan color. I gave up. Installing a new sink was added to the to-do list. I saw this product on a BuzzFeed article and bought it on a whim; it was cheap and I figured it couldn’t make the sink any worse. Holy crap! I’m absolutely blown away. I put a bit on the side with the disposal that was the most stained. I used a scrubbing brush drill bit on my power drill and went in a quick circle around the basin. 10 seconds tops. Boom. The sink was white. Not just white. The brilliant, bright original white it was supposed to be. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I went to town on both sides excessively for probably 10 minutes total and my ugly sink looks shiny and white again. No more new sink for us. I couldn’t be more impressed." —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in multiple sizes and packs).
37. Floating bookshelves if you've run out of space on your bookshelves and need to address that growing pile of books on the floor. These clever shelves make it look like the books are floating there in place, and they'll double as decor you'll want to just stand back and admire every time you walk by.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has these! "I love my floating bookshelves because they save a lot of space and since I colorized them, they look like fun decor in my room. It definitely helps me get excited about reading more since they're so cute and visible. The shelves were also super easy to hang and, as you can see, they're very sturdy."
Promising review: "Super chic way of organizing our many books and keeping them off windowsills and other non-book surfaces. This was a great solution and we didn’t have to buy ANOTHER furniture piece — win!" —EmGeeBond
Get them from Amazon for $17.19+ (available individually or in a set of three, and two sizes).
38. A Hoover PowerDash carpet shampooer to face off against the final boss of your cleaning mission: the stubborn dark spots in your light-colored carpet, whether from pet accidents, spills, or just high traffic. This powerful machine can scrub away years' worth of mess until your carpet is clean and one consistent color once more.
It also works wonders on area rugs! And it only weighs about 13 pounds — heavier-duty carpet cleaners usually weigh around 20 — so you won't feel completely exhausted by the time you're done with your living room.
Promising review: "I run dog services, boarding, and daycare out of my home. My carpet sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion. Love this Hoover! Holy moly! It picks up an INCREDIBLE amount of deeply imbedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair. The difference in how much cleaner my carpet is after using it is OUTSTANDING!! I regularly vacuum and spot clean with other carpet cleaners and couldn’t fathom the filth I was actually living in after using the Hoover. It’s easy to assemble and light weight too. You can’t deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank. Easily the best purchase I have made for my small business! Very impressive!" —Patty DeCarlo
