    31 Products That Are Basically Life-Hacks You Never Knew You Needed

    Just when you thought you've seen it all, here come some more helpful tricks for you to help make life a little easier.

    1. pair of fluffy slippers with microfiber mops on the soles, so you can pick up dust and spills by shuffling across the floor. Spill a couple of drops on the way from the kitchen? No need to turn back for a paper towel, just glide right over it!

    Promising review: "So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes. Drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim

    Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in 17 styles and in women's sizes 3-10).

    2. A set of stove counter gap covers, because the space in between your stovetop and countertop has enough crumbs to make a meal. Just place the cover in between the gap, and anything that would've fallen into the crack of no return will be spared.

    3. A stain repellent to protect your couch, rug, pillows, and other fabric surfaces from accidental spills. Just spray, let it dry, and go on living your normal life. An added bonus — it's odorless and colorless, so you can feel safe using it on your light-colored fabrics.

    4. A click-on automatic cleaning pack that fights toilet stains and stays fresh for up to 12 weeks. Just pop one inside of the bowl and you'll practically clean your toilet with every flush.

    5. A set of sheet detanglers to keep your bedsheets from coming out of the dryer in a balled-up mess. You should already know that if your sheets are jumbled, then they're guaranteed to have some wet spots. I just know you've got to be tired of drying your bedding more than once.

    6. A pack of cute little snails that exist to hold your tea bag in place. Just wrap your tea string around its small body and it won't move around so much. Plus — these adorable, tiny creatures will definitely make tea time more enjoyable!

    7. An easily washable drip catcher if water goes everywhere when you wash, or simply rinse your dishes. Use this instead of folding up a towel and putting it behind your faucet or cleaning up a watery mess.

    8. A nifty device that can turn hot coffee into iced coffee in 60 seconds, because who has time to actually wait for their coffee to cool down? Just pour a hot (or room temperature) beverage into the Hyperchiller, give it a good swirl for a minute, then pour and enjoy a pleasantly chilled drink.

    9. An ice cube tray with a lid that will keep freezer burn odors out and will prevent spilling. If your freezer is usually low on space, this will be your best friend during the warmer months because you can stack it any way you'd like.

    10. A three-pronged duster to pick up layers of dust that seem to be fused to your blinds. You'll be both disgusted at how much debris is collected and surprised at how clean your blinds actually are after using it 😬.

    11. A TubShroom if you're disgusted with the water building up in your tub when you shower. Just like the over 83,000 Amazon reviewers, you'll be surprised to see how much hair could've clogged up your drain.

    12. A power scrubber brush that can be attached to a drill. Now you don't have to use as much elbow grease or spend as much time cleaning your bathtub or shower. It'll also work to clean your glass doors without leaving behind any scratches!

    13. A pack of toilet bowl bombs for anyone who enjoys a clean bathroom without having to use harsh chemicals. Just toss one of these fizzy bombs into the toilet, wait 15-30 minutes, do a little scrubbing, then flush!

    14. A tiered bowl with a designated section for your phone so you can watch your favorite show while you have a little snack — practically hands free.

    15. A dishwasher magnet for a ridiculously easy way to help you remember whether the dishes are clean, or if you should avoid the filth at all costs — while you're at it, you should probably wash the next load.

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.97 (available in four styles).

    17. A bracelet fastening tool so you can put on your favorite accessory without anyone's help. It shouldn't take 100 tries just to fasten jewelry.

    18. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray you'll literally "set and forget." Spray your shower from top to bottom, wait for 8-12 hours, and rinse. Not only will your shower stay clean for a week, it will also smell like vanilla. No more elbow grease, and no more strong chemical smells for you.

    19. A pack of body wipes for the days when you go a little too hard in the gym, but you still have more things to get done before you can hit the shower.

    20. An absolutely genius tool that lets you get an even coat of butter on your pans, cake tins, and muffin trays. Keep your fingers clean and keep the dirty utensils to a minimum.

    21. A roll-up drying rack because you might need a place to quickly dry a few dishes, without taking up precious countertop space. It's also super convenient to have if you love to cook and believe in cleaning as you go.

    22. A refreshing spray that removes wrinkles, eliminates odors, and leaves a light, fresh laundry scent. Basically, your somewhat dirty clothes will look and smell like they could easily pass the sniff test.

    23. A nifty silicone colander you can clip on to the sides of your pots or pans, and keeps your hands safe from being burned by hot lids. It's also smaller than a traditional colander, so it's quicker to clean and easier to store.

    24. A grout ink pen that doesn't require scrubbing, and doesn't leave a mess. It's perfect for whitening the space between your tiles and making them look brand new. Just trace over the grout lines and see a real difference within a matter of seconds!

    25. A mountable jar opener for when you've tried tapping the lid, running it it under hot water, and slapping the bottom of the jar; but the lid won't budge. You won't be stuck with a cursed jar, when you slap one of these bad boys under your cabinet! Plus, it takes up basically no space at all.

    26. A wall-mounted toothpaste dispenser that also holds toothbrushes and cups for rinsing. Give your countertop some space with this dispenser-storage combo.

    27. A game-changing pan and pot lid organizer, because you should spend less time playing pan Jenga and more time keeping your pans free from scratches. You can stack your pots and pans horizontally or vertically, whichever maximizes storage space.

    28. An absolutely ingenious purse-cleaning sticky ball, that will pick up all of the crumbs that have found their way to the bottom of your bag. Good thing you can just drop this in your purse, and let it go to work. Then when you suddenly remember to clean out your purse, the only thing you'll have to do is empty it, wash it, dry it, and put it back in your bag like nothing happened.

    29. A sleek lid and utensil rest so you'll finally have more room to work with when you cook. Now you can keep all of your cookware in one convenient place. And it'll prevent your counter from getting food and water all over it.

    30. A pack of three washable oven liners to keep your oven base protected from dripping messes — like when you over-filled the cupcake tray and the batter just kept spilling. No one wants to have to clean burnt food or liquids from the bottom of their stove; with this liner, you won't have those problems.

    31. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can keep your counter top space clear of scraps while you're cooking. Save yourself the extra steps and just drop your peels and crumbs into the bag as you go.
