    30 Products For People With Perpetually Messy Apartments

    Ingenious organizers and powerful, easy-to-use cleaning supplies that'll help you get your space into tip top shape.

    1. A fast-acting carpet-spot-removing spray that'll remove those stains you thought would never ever come out.

    2. A laundry hamper you can hang on the door to help keep your floor free of dirty towels, clothes, and space-hogging laundry baskets.

    3. A set of bedsheet suspenders so when you wake up, your fitted sheets are still in place and looking neat and tidy, instead of slipping off the corners and getting all tangled up with your blankets.

    4. A Furemover squeegee broom reviewers thought couldn't be that much better than other brooms. Turns out, this thing attracts hair like a magnet and will remove way more from deep carpets and surfaces than you thought possible. While pet hair is the focus, it'll do a great job cleaning up water, dirt, and dust too.

    5. Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit that'll make it easy peasy to remove the year's worth of crud stuck to your stove top that you've been staring at, hoping it'll magically disappear one day.

    It comes with a bottle of cleaner, a scraper, and a cleaning pad.

    Promising review: "Works amazing! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B Smartwood

    Get it from Amazon for $13.14.

    6. Some Command hooks — they're strong enough to hold a wide variety of items and require *no tools* to install. Plus, you can move or remove them whenever you want without leaving behind any damage or annoying sticky residue. Now you can use your walls to reduce clutter!

    Promising review: "Absolutely love these! I have bought them three times already on Amazon. I have been trying to organize my kitchen utensils. I have minimal counter space and ceramic tile walls behind my counter. I am unable to risk drilling into the tile or to the underside of my cabinets. These sticky hooks are perfect!! They adhere to the tile AND to the wood laminate of my upper cabinets. They also are great on the painted wall and the bumpy side of my refrigerator. I started using these around March of 2020 and I have not had a single one fall down. I have various sizes of kitchen utensils and items hanging from them." —Tigerakp

    7. Some stackable corner shelves to keep your various bathroom essentials from crowding your sink area.

    8. A silverware sorter that'll hold up to 24 pieces of cutlery while taking up barely any space at all so you can actually fit all your tools in one drawer.

    Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors).

    9. A tiny outlet shelf perfect for storing an electric toothbrush, your glasses, or any other odds and ends that need a home. It installs just like a regular outlet cover, and you just might find yourself wanting one in every room.

    10. Some cable clip organizers to keep your chargers and cords from ending up in a tangled mess on the floor.

    11. A macramé produce hammock if you've completely run out of surfaces but still wanna store your fruits and veggies in a way that is pleasing to the eye.

    12. A stackable shoe rack that'll stop your shoes from taking over your home. Maybe now you'll be able to make it from your bedroom to the bathroom without tripping over your spreading footwear collection.

    13. A powerful, but gentle silicone paw cleaner — it'll make cleaning your pet's cute lil' feets a lot less of a hassle. Just add water, insert filthy paws, give 'em a little twist, and dab till dry! No scrubbing, no pain, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, and other grime getting tracked around your otherwise spotless home. Sounds like a win-win!

    Promising review: "I have to admit that I was skeptical... but this is worth EVERY PENNY and more! Our Great Dane's paws would track in huge amounts of dirt/mud, and wiping them down with a towel was never good enough. This is definitely big enough for his huge feet, and he doesn't even fight it. I wonder if it feels good on his paws? The fact that the rubber 'bristles' are removable for cleaning out afterward is an awesome bonus, too. You can actually see all the dirt it's cleaning off. Thanks for a great product!!!!" —Bitsy C :-)

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).

    14. Or a robot vacuum if you're too busy to vacuum often enough to keep your apartment as clean as you would like.

    15. A roll-up drying rack that'll free up soooo much precious counter space that used to be occupied by piles of damp pots and pans.

    16. A lid organizer so your drawers stop looking like a tornado whipped through them. Plus, that'll make sealing up your leftovers less of a hassle.

    It'll hold round and square lids up to 9 inches wide and it only takes one minute to set up! Also, one reviewer shared that a sweet note from the brand in their package revealed that this YouCopia brand is a woman-owned small business!

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. In under 15 minutes, I took my nightmare lid drawer and turned it into a functional, convenient storage space. The dividers were simple to install and provide flexibility. Slowly but surely I am getting my tiny, chaotic kitchen under control, and this got me a huge leap closer." —S. Hawthorn

    Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in four sizes, a set of two, and with expanders).

    17. A pumice stone that makes it easy to keep the inside of your toilet nice and clean. Plus, now you don't have to suppress a gag every time you catch a glimpse of the gross grime building up in there.

    18. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so the splatters inside can wipe right off with a paper towel.

    19. A set of drawer organizers, because a hidden mess is still a mess.

    22. A pet hair remover that'll easily pull way more pet fur off your carpets, comforters, couches, and clothing than you expect.

    26. A rustic, wall-mounted coat rack — it'll keep your variety of jackets from piling up on a chair that was meant for sitting, while also offering some shelf space to hold extra items that might not fit anywhere else.

    27. A garbage disposal cleaner that requires basically zero work on your part, and even puts on a bubbly little show while getting rid of that vom-inducing smell you thought would never leave your sink.

    Promising review: "I bought the yellow and use it regularly for cleaning shower tile, removing hard-water stains from glass (with Lime-A-Way) and even for my oven top. For the price you can't beat it. They are good quality and the different sizes are convenient for different jobs. Gonna get a red set next for the tougher jobs!" —Emir D Hayic

    Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in six colors and five bristle stiffnesses).

    29. A shower curtain with pockets here to help keep the sides of your shower from becoming a graveyard of half empty shampoo bottles just waiting to be knocked over.

    30. And finally, a speedy oven cleaner designed to blast through baked-on crud, so all you have to do is simply wipe it clean.

    If your oven is in need of a deep, deep clean, you may need to let this cleaner sit longer, but it'll do a heck of a job lifting all the barnacles of food bits that are crusted on your oven.

    Promising review: "Oh man, this stuff is awesome! I sprayed and left it on overnight. I had no idea what to expect. I took a paper towel and started wiping out the oven. The grime just melted away. It was awesome! I am VERY pleased! And it is truly odor-free. I was shocked! —KsGrl444

    Get it from Amazon for $16.60.
