Promising review: ""Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new.

2. A create-your-own countertop kit that'll change up your surfaces and make them *look* like granite instead of spending a small fortune and far too much time actually replacing them.
Promising review: "I hated my stock builder counters, a horrible washed out mustard color. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough money to get the real marble counters that I covet. I found this product on TikTok and was immediately intrigued! Of course, I had to purchase it. I bought the two-pack because the per the instructions, I wouldn’t have enough to cover all of my counters. The process took two days with the waiting between application, but it was extremely easy to use. I’m giving it 5 stars because of ease of applying, appearance, and the fact that it changes the whole look of my kitchen!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in five colors).
3. A fabric defuzzer so you can refresh your furniture and hide the evidence of all the strings your cat decided to pull out. Reviewers love this as a MUCH more affordable solution than actually buying a whole new couch.
The battery-operated model does need two AA batteries to work!
Promising reviews: "This is a great TikTok buy! It's a really fun and easy way to clean the lint off of anything. The cleaning is also very simple. It might slow down sometimes when I do a big piece of cloth, which means that the spinning blade has lint tangled around it. You can remove that with tweezers. It’s really easy and satisfying. All in all, it's a great buy." —Edita
"This is amazing!!! I have a chair that when my cats were kittens, they shredded. It was brand new, and they destroyed it within six months. I live alone and no one ever comes over, so I just deal with the chair with dreams of reupholstering it someday. I've seen articles for defuzzers but never used one and always thought they were for sweaters or things that have just balled up, not that had entire threads ripped out. A few days ago I saw someone's review for this one, used on loose threads, so I immediately bought it. It arrived today, and I used scissors to trim the threads. It was so easy to use and did an amazing job! I spent probably 90 minutes total doing my entire oversized chair and then spot-cleaned it. It looks brand new! I have my awesome chair back! I almost donated this chair a hundred times over the last four years but didn't want to part with it. Now I'm so glad I didn't. $12 and less than two hours of my time, and my favorite chair is restored. I'm so happy!!" —StormyMorning

4. Some mosaic film to give you a little extra privacy in your room so you don't roll over in the morning to see your neighbor mowing their lawn right outside your window. Unlike regular window film, this will create gorgeous rainbows all over your room.
The film sticks with static cling, so it can be removed very easily and won't leave behind any residue. Plus, it claims to block out 84% of UVA rays and 99% of UVB rays to help protect you and your home from being directly exposed to sunlight.
Promising review: "Honestly, TikTok made me buy this, and I am not disappointed. It’s beautiful and better than anticipated. Although it is possible to apply it alone, I highly recommend two people. The peeling and spraying and placing and squeegeeing is much easier with two people." —Itsxbritt
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 11 sizes).
5. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner with a cult following of parents, pet owners, and clumsy people. This compact device gets alllll the stains (grass! pet accidents! food! mud!) from almost any surface. Now you can finally feel comfortable inviting your accident-prone friend over again.
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and our toddler has turned our apartment in such a dirty place. Stains everywhere! Our sofa was in such bad condition (which we only got it two years ago) that we were thinking of getting a new one. We decided to try this, and it is a miracle worker. I’m so glad we bought this. It’s worth every penny!" —shahzad mahmood
Get it from Amazon for $116.23.
6. Some under-cabinet lights so you can have that extra bougie feel of hidden lighting without having to pay for something to be built in that has the exact same effect but for some reason costs *hundreds* of dollars.
Promising review: "I've been complaining for two years about the crappy lighting we have in the kitchen. I saw these on TikTok and knew I had to have them. They're SUPER bright, which is exactly what I wanted. So easy to install. Just cleaned under the cabinets really quick, peel, and stick!" —Tehryn & Alex VanSickle
Get a 10-foot strand with 60 lights from Amazon for $19.80 (available in white or warm white lights).
7. Or a battery-operated light that turns on by sensing movement so when you wake up parched in the middle of the night you can find your way to the fridge without stubbing your toe or crashing into anything along the way. Orrr stick it inside your closet or under your bed if you're in need of some illumination but don't wanna turn on your super bright overhead lighting.
See it in action on TikTok here.
It comes with a rechargeable battery that can last three months in auto mode (or 33 hours of use). It is also detachable, so you can take the light out and recharge easily.
Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it! (I know, insert eye roll). I recently bought a '90s home with terrible lighting. I have cherry cabinets and just wasn’t getting enough light when cooking. I purchased one to see what I thought, and I love this thing! I will be ordering three more to get under each section of cabinets. Surprisingly, the charge is holding well. I haven’t had to recharge going on two weeks now, and it’s just as bright as day one." —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two versions).
8. Grandma's Secret, which, contrary to its name, actually has a cult following of people obsessed with this stain remover. It'll work to tackle allll your stains from grease to oil to blood to ink to whatever else may be haunting you from your carpet.
Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok video after I just so happened to get grease stains on my brand-new shirt that didn’t come out after washing. I decided to try it, because I’ve never been able to successfully get grease stains out of anything, especially after I had already washed and dried it. I applied a little bit to each stain, and then I used a wet toothbrush to scrub it a little bit. I let it sit for about 10 minutes, washed it, dried it, and the stains had vanished!!! This stuff is amazing and so easy to use. I highly recommend!" —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two sizes and multipacks).
9. A Govee smart floor-standing lamp with 25 color preset modes you can control from your phone, a music mode that'll have the lights dancing with sound, *AND* Alexa compatibility.
See it in action on TikTok here.
Promising review: "Bought this light because I thought it was cool, but it is more than that! I use it every day, and it has many colors and patterns to choose from. The thing I love the most is you can set up times for it to come on and turn off. You can set how bright you want it, so I had it turned on with a dimmed light to help me wake up in early mornings." —Rueben Thao
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (available in two colors).
10. A Go Hang It! picture hanging and leveling kit so you can finally put those photos up on the wall that have just been sitting on the ground since you bought them…months ago. This'll help make sure you put holes where they're supposed to go (so you don't end up with like five misplaced ones that you have to deal with covering) and keep your piece level.
Go Hang It! is a small business that created this kit to help making hanging saw-tooth and wire picture frames easier with zero measuring. There are two magnetic keys you stick into the hangers on the back of your picture frames and then put up on the wall exactly where you want. It will leave a small indentation so you know exactly where to put your nails. And if you have a frame with a wire hanger, it also works. You can see exactly how it works in this TikTok. Plus, there's an included level to make sure the pictures are even. The kit also incudes 85 pieces of picture-hanging hardware.
Promising review: "I moved to my apartment a few months ago and haven’t hung anything because it is difficult/annoying to do my myself without it being crooked. Walls are plaster, so if I measure incorrectly and make nail holes, it is a pain to fix. I saw this product on TikTok (of all places) and immediately purchased. The day it arrived, I hung a mirror perfectly! I love that it has the attached kit, so when I want to hang something everything is in one place. Super easy to use and absolutely worth every dollar." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $29.59.
11. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that will remove all those mysterious drippings on the front of your oven, fridge, and honestly all your stainless-steel appliances. Just spray it on, wipe it away, and watch your streak- and smudge-free appliances shine.
Plus, it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth!
Promising review: "I saw this on a TikTok and checked it out. I didn’t want to pay that much for it, but no other product I’ve used has worked. I am so glad I did!! My stainless-steel appliances look brand new again! I am so happy to walk in the kitchen and not see little fingerprints and smudges all over everything. Totally recommend!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
12. A peel-and-stick faux-tile backsplash to give any room a ~trendy~ backdrop that doesn't require actually figuring out install new tiles. Since this is a temporary solution, you don't have to feel guilty about wanting to switch it up down the road, either.
Promising review: "This is a must-buy! I have a small kitchen in my apartment. I brought three. If it's too many, you can return them. It makes a whole difference. I wish I knew about this a year ago. Thanks TikTok!" —Jenece Brown
Get a 10-pack of 12"x12" tiles from Amazon for $29.60+ (available in two styles).
13. A mold and mildew removal gel that you simply layer on, leave for a few hours, and wipe clean. Yes, that means NO SCRUBBING.
14. A FURemover squeegee broom with a magnet-like rubber head to attract the massive amount of hair that is lodged in your carpet. This thing will pull up piles of pet hair (and probably your hair, too) that you thought you got rid of vacuuming.
The broom is made with 100% natural rubber that attracts hair. It can be used on carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat. Being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can’t always get in deep enough. This actually works, and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." —Theo Ackerman
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
15. A marble self-adhesive film that'll automatically upgrade your countertop, table, or other surface by covering whatever ~out of date~ color your landlord installed years ago. And the beauty of this film is it's easily removable if you change your mind down the road or decide to move out.
See it in action on TikTok here.
The film is made from vinyl/PVC film and is water-resistant. To apply, you cut the film to the size you need, remove the backing paper, put it on any dry and flat surface using a smoother or cloth, and it will look as good as new.
Promising review: "Wow!!! I can't believe how much this brightened up our bathroom!! The paper is very thick and seems very durable!! It looks beautiful! It is mostly easy to install. Just takes some patience. I watched videos on how other people did it first before attempting it myself which I think really helped!! Using a blow-dryer to smooth it on helps prevent bubbles from getting caught underneath the paper. This cheap update made such a difference!!!"—Anna F.
Get a two-roll pack from Amazon for $25.20+ (available in a variety of pack sizes).
16. A set of NoNo Brackets designed to attach to your existing blinds so you can swap them out for an actually attractive curtain without having to drill any holes. This is a great alternative for anyone who isn't specifically handy with a drill *or* renters who are still hoping to get their security deposit back at the end of their lease.
Promising reviews: "Saw this on a TikTok hack. Perfect for renters. Worked great and easy to install." —Jennie R Trujillo
"This bracket is awesome and was extremely easy to install. We were able to hang curtains over our vertical blinds in just a few minutes and didn't even need any tools. Great product!!!" —Amazon Customer
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.95.
17. A set of amber soap dispensers you can decant your shower products into to give your bathroom an upgraded ~spa~ vibe.
18. A Rubbermaid power scrubbing brush because your old toothbrush that you use to clean just isn't cutting it anymore. This electric power scrubber is small but mighty. Stop breaking a sweat every time you find a new gross stain, and instead, break out this scrubber that will do all the heavy lifting.
Promising review: "You need one. Seriously. Saw this brush several times on TikTok. It sold me. When I got it, I went into clean mode and the darn thing is just amazing. You'll love it. It's so sturdy and works very well." —Kristin Haadsma
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

19. A set of easy-to-install garage magnets you can add to your garage doors to give them an entirely new look, without actually having to get a new door — and they don't require any drilling or tools. Just stick them on and watch your neighbors stare with envy.
And you can easily take them off if you move! Plus, if you really want to complete the look, you can also add some magnetic windows to the top (like the picture above shows).
Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok, and it got my curiosity so I had to try them. I was very surprised at how sturdy these metal accents are, and they look real. I found them to be very easy to place on and take off the garage door because they're magnetic. I would recommend this product. I think they're realistic looking and a fun way to dress up the garage door." —Paige
Get a set of six magnets from Amazon for $13.53 (available in three versions).
20. An outlet plug designed to hide all the cords by plugging in flat and utilizing a power strip that you can attach to your baseboards to create a seamless look. Plus, since the actual plug is flush against the wall, you can stick it behind furniture without worrying about ruining your cords.
Promising review: "I saw this while randomly swiping through TikTok one day. As soon as I saw it, I immediately went to Amazon to find it. We have an electric fireplace that is centered on our wall. Unfortunately, the plug/outlet is not (about one foot over). It has driven my wife and I bananas that there was a plug strung along the wall. This took seconds to install. Love it!" —Alex Soper
Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in 13 different lengths/configurations).
21. A set of two adhesive shelves because you're an adult now, so you probably shouldn't have your bottles of body wash and shampoo lying around on the shower floor. Bonus, these come with adhesive sheets so you don't have to worry about the commitment that comes with drilling something into your walls.
I have a set of these and I love them. The matte black color fits my vibe perfectly and they are surprisingly large, easily fitting all my products and my husband's. The hooks they come with are super convenient for hanging our luffas and my body brush, and having it not be a solid shelf is great to make sure there aren't puddles of water that have built up. The adhesive is incredibly strong, we've had ours up for a year and there is no doubt in my mind they will stay up for years to come.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors).
22. A touchless stationary vacuum that will completely eliminate the need for a dustpan. Honestly, good riddance, those things never work anyway…you always have to reposition them a million times. This vacuum will change the way you clean by sucking up all the dirt and dust you've collected.
An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove it and dump the debris in the trash.
EyeVac is a small biz that specializes in stationary vacuums to make home cleaning easier.
Promising review: "I saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into, and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in nine colors/styles).
23. A cable-concealing box, which will finally hide all those hideous cords you have plugged in. IDK about you, but I personally designed my home to never see a loose cord hanging around again…something about them all tangled up or dangling from a mounted TV just sends shivers down my spine.
Promising review: "I bought it because I saw a woman on TikTok showcase something similar like this on her page (on how to keep a home tidy) and I was like I HAD to buy! It’s wonderful! I have ALWAYS hated seeing all the clutter of cords stick out from cord extenders and having this makes my small place look cleaner and organized! I would recommend this for anyone!" —Chidi
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
24. An Erase-A-Hole putty to quickly and easily patch up those holes when you decide again that the picture doesn't actually look good in that spot. BONUS: you don't even need any tools to use. (Yes, that means no spackling paste that is somehow impossible to get perfectly smooth).
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 $11.89.
25. A soft runner that'll add the much-needed pop to your kitchen while also giving you a comfortable spot to stand while you spend hours over the stove cooking up your latest feast. Plus, there's nonstick backing so you don't have to worry about it sliding from under your feet and making you spill your vat of freshly made soup.

Promising review: "This rug is amazing. It’s soft, washable, stays down, super cute. Just FYI — the tag in the rug says it should be washed in a commercial machine. I haven’t needed to wash it yet because it have a carpet shampooed and anything that’s spilled on it so far just wipes off." —Nadia
Get it from Amazon for $72.99 (available in 10 sizes and 18 colors).
