1. Wad-Free, an ingenious device to solve all your sheet-washing woes. It'll help your sheets dry faster and with fewer wrinkles, and prevent them from trapping all the clothes you throw in there with them in the dreaded tangled-up ball. Where have these been your whole laundry-doing life?!?
They're reusable, BPA free, and from a small business that launched during the pandemic.
Promising review: "This product has changed my world! Washing and drying my sheets is a breeze! The sheets are not bundled up in the washer and they also dry quickly with no wrinkles!

2. A trio of power scrubber brushes you can attach your drill and instantly create a super-powered deep-cleaning device.
Promising review: "These brushes are freaking fantastic. I tried them on a portion of my shower and bathroom floor tiles and grout. I immediately had to do the rest because it made the cleaner sections look dirty. I also tried it on the side of my fridge that is next to my stove top. It did a pretty good job there as well at removing grease and stains. The only downside is that it made me enjoy cleaning!" —Eric T. Ma
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in six colors, each with a different stiffness/purpose).
3. A handy-dandy dish squeegee sure to make anyone who has ever done dishes and touched icky leftover food or struggled to clean up a spill say, "Why didn't I buy this sooner?!?!" One side is curved so it works on bowls as well as plates, and it can clean up sinks and countertops just as easily as it can dishes.
I make a lot of orzo pasta, and anyone else who does knows those suckers really like to stick to the sides and bottom of the pot. This product is PERFECT for scraping those stubborn grains out. It feels so much less gross than a sponge, since your hand stays farther away from whatever you're cleaning and it doesn't just sit there wet and festering after you use it. You can rinse it off and toss it in the dishwasher!
Promising review: "This product is AMAZING. We live in a studio apartment with a small kitchenette. Our sink likes to spray everywhere, and we don't have a garbage disposal. This product is not only is fantastic at scraping food off of our plates (so it doesn't go down the drain), but it helps to squeegee the countertop when water has sprayed everywhere!!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Amazon for $7.95.
4. An instantly downloadable and printable cleaning checklist divided by day and room that'll help you break up the seemingly overwhelming task of cleaning your home while making sure you don't miss a spot.
This Canada-based small biz specializes in printable organizing aids. Once you order and download, you can customize the list yourself with Adobe Reader.
Promising reviews: "I have adult children living with me at the moment. I needed clear cleaning instructions/expectations for them to contribute with the house. This easy printout has solved so many arguments. It works great for our situation." —Jennifer Jarvis
"I ended up editing this a little bit to better fit our needs but this was perfect! It made it so easy. My house hasn’t been this clean in a while. Lol." —Kathleen Cronin
Get two sizes in JPG format and two sizes in PDF format from CreativeTypeStore on Etsy for $4.48.
5. A roll-up dish rack that's so much more than a dish rack. It'll save you a ridiculous amount of counter space, both during cooking and cleanup, since you can use it to dry dishes, thaw meat, and strain veggies, or even as just another place to put cutting boards and dishes during meal prep. And when you're done, you can just roll it up and put it under the sink!
Promising review: "How did I ever get along without this thing? We were looking for a way to dry dishes without taking up counter space with a dedicated drying rack. I decided to give this little contraption a try, and boy, am I glad I did. It is incredibly versatile and is a wonderful addition to our kitchen. So far I have used it for drying large items over the sink, filling a pot when the sink was already full, and as a counter trivet for a hot pan, and it performs beautifully in all these roles. The metal rods are strong and sturdy enough to hold heavy items, long enough to span our sink from multiple angles, and, best of all, it rolls up for easy storage when not in use. All around a great kitchen tool, and I'll never be without one again." —T. Eicher
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in three sizes).
6. An endlessly reusable, nonadhesive hair remover roller you can just glide over your furniture to suck up the seemingly impossible amounts of fuzz your beloved fur baby deposits on a daily basis. Yes, you can now wear black pants and have company over! Maybe even both at the same time!
Promising review: "I have no idea how I lived so long without it. I literally wish I could find the words to describe how incredible this thing is. I could slap myself for not buying it sooner. I have an 85-pound golden retriever who SHEDS. Not normal shedding — I'm talking this dog has so much hair it's ridiculous to clean up. I vacuum every day and run the Roomba when I'm working. But there was nothing besides lint rolling that I could do for the couches, pillows, sheets, etc. Until this. When I got it, I used it really quickly on our ottoman, which has a ton of dog hair on it just from existing in our living room. Ran this back and forth a little and I kid you not, all the hair was gone. Took it to the couches, sunroom furniture, all the throw pillows, and the bed sheets (which is absolutely life changing), and it removed 98% of the hair. I contemplated buying another one so my husband and I could tag team everything that needed fur removal. I cleaned the couch cushions tonight and when I sat down on the couch (IN A BLACK SHIRT) I had no dog hair on me when I got off the couch. This thing is absolutely incredible and has surpassed any expectation I could have had. I'm not one to give into gimmicky 'miracle' products but this one is legit. Just buy it!" —Nichole
Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
7. A sponge holder that doubles as a dish soap pump — just press down to immediately get the perfect amount of soap ready to use on your sponge, without making a sticky, sudsy mess of your sink area.
Promising review: "Family approved! Amazing soap dispenser!! Easy soap installation. To activate the pump, push down at least four times. Perfect amount dispensed for effectively washing dishes or using in the sink area; two pushes down with wet sponge seems to be sufficient. I have adult children who pour dish soap on the sponge, with so much wasted, we lose money on soap. This is a game changer! Our family loves this soap dispenser, looking forward to not wasting so much dish soap at one time." —M.Mercer
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
8. A handy toilet wand with disposable cleaning pads that'll make cleaning the john so much less gross, you'll actually DO IT for once, dammit. Reusing that toilet brush crusted with old who-knows-what? I'll pass, thanks.
Because I mean actually, you DO know what's on that old brush.
Instead having one toilet brush that you always reuse to clean the crap (sometimes literally) out of your toilet and then store in your bathroom to be used another day (ick), this lets you use dispose of the cleaning pad after each use. Just press the button on the handle, and it'll eject the pad right into the garbage! Plus, each cleaning pad is already loaded with Clorox Cleaner, so it's the only product you'll need. Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on Clorox toilet wands.
Promising review: "This is the best toilet cleaner EVER! It contains a cleaning product, plus the sponges conform to every bend in the toilet and work easily in the rim. It didn’t require any elbow grease either! I promptly threw away my top-of-the-line brush with its fancy under-the-rim attachment that never worked. I am 100% all about this." —Kingfisher
Get the wand, caddy, and six cleaning heads from Amazon for $9.38 (or $8.91 with the Subscribe & Save option), and get more refill heads here.
9. Or a miraculous automatic bleach toilet-cleaning system that'll actually *eliminate* a regular chore from your to-do list completely. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush, so your toilet will basically clean itself!
It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review: "I've installed these in all six toilets in my home and they are a great idea. I've been using this for about four to five years. This device circulates bleach product into the toilet bowl after every flush, where it is needed to prevent staining such as water lines from calcium buildup. The chlorine water is restricted to the bowl, not the tank. If chlorine is in the tank it will erode away the flapper and foam seal which separates the tank from the bowl, requiring more expensive repairs. This product solves that problem with no drawbacks and don't look unsightly like the clamp-on bars of chlorine that are permanently inside the bowl." —Dr. D123
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
10. Beyond handy bag handles made for anyone whose least favorite chore is grocery shopping simply because of the schlep, and/or who REFUSES to make multiple trips into the house with their baggage. These babies make it possible to carry way more at once (up to 50 pounds!!!) and can even hold the bags together in the back of the car so they don't spill.
Promising review: "It usually takes me a dozen trips from my car to my house to get my groceries inside, and if I carry too many at one time, the handles cut off the circulation in my hands and arms. These special handles solved all my problems. Today, I only made three trips from the car to the house! When I had to put the bags down to open the door, these handles laid on top of the bags and I only had to grab them instead of searching for all the plastic handles as they flopped around. Now there are no more bag marks on my wrist and my hands don't go numb! Who would have thought that something so simple could make my life so much better?" —Rosemary Smith Dattler

11. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, an awesome grease-buster that'll save you scrubbing and change the dishwashing game for good — by making it actually kinda...fun?!?
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly loves this stuff! She says: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout instead of cooking. But as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas in, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."
Promising review: "Is it wrong that I wish this came with a holster for the spray gun? Seriously, I see a dirty dish and I want to pull it out, twirl the gun around my finger, and spray, just like in the wild, wild West. The soap is superior to any other; I even use it as a pre-wash for stains on my clothes. There's nothing it hasn't removed. The power wash sprayer is superior. It's easy to use, easy to whip out, soap stays soapy, and rinses clean. I don't feel like I'm wasting any or need to spray more. You can get in close and spray a cup; spray a little further back and you can hit a whole plate. I know it's sad to be this happy over something so simple, but it really does make a task that much easier, and that is appreciated. I will have a Power Wash spray bottle in the bathroom, laundry, kitchen, and pet area, because those are all the places I've carried it. Great product. The soap never fails, cuts through everything, gets rid of any greasy feeling on any material — pans, plastic, walls, and counters — and the spray is fun." —Sssshhhh
Get a spray bottle and a refill bottle from Amazon for $8.44.
12. Wet & Forget shower spray, which'll revolutionize the way you clean your bathroom. True to its name, all you have to do is spray your shower or tub, let it sit overnight, and rinse it the next morning to reveal a cleaning miracle. It works so well, you only need to use it once a week — which is perfect since the last thing you need is another thing on your daily to-do list.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

13. An easily accessible hanging changing table organizer new parents absolutely swear by for keeping everything right at hand when things get messy. One time you never want to be disorganized? When there's baby poop involved.
It can also be hung on a wall!
Promising review: "Don't know how I lived without it! Before I bought this, I had to stash diapers and wipes under the changing table and bend down and grab when needed. I also had a pile of burp cloths on a side table, and all the baby's outfits in drawers. I bought this and it CHANGED MY LIFE. I keep the wipe warmer on it, as intended, always have easily and readily accessible diapers, burp cloths in one side pocket, and outfits in another. I hung this on the wall next to the changing table so I have it at an easily accessible height, ready to use and to grab whatever I need. I Love the nursery organizer and would recommend to anyone who asks." —Louis Klapper
Get it from Amazon for $26.92+ (available in two colors).
14. The cult-fave Instant Pot Duo, a programmable wonder that can serve as a pressure cooker, slow cooker, yogurt maker, sauté pan, steamer, and rice cooker. All you have to do is toss in your ingredients and hit a button, and this baby will take it from there, so get ready to do all your cooking in it (or rather, let it do all your cooking for you).
Check out BuzzFeed's full Instant Pot review.
Promising review: "Although it can be a bit pricey, the Instant Pot is a fabulous appliance to have when cooking in a reduced sized kitchen or dorm. Also it is great for students, athletes, and working people who need to start a meal early in the day and don't have time to tend to it or cook during the day. As a collegiate athlete, the Instant Pot has made a world of difference in meal prep. I've used it to make Bolognese/spaghetti squash from scratch, chili, pulled pork for tacos, turkey stock, roasted pork tenderloin, and many soups, which is a lifesaver in the busy winter/competition season. It's worth noting that there's a genuine learning curve to the Instant Pot and it is advisable to follow recipes for the first time you use it. Additionally, the size is perfect for dorm storage and makes enough to feed a small family, a few roommates, or a single person for about four meals on most dishes." —Sola
Get it from Amazon for $69+ (available in three sizes).
15. A handy little gadget to prevent you from doing essential chores twice (or not at all). It's designed to ensure you never accidentally forget about your furry friend — and so you can stop second guessing whether or not you did when they give you those puppy dog eyes.
Promising review: "I use this to keep track of whether or not I gave my dog his pill in the morning and evening. It has eliminated the 'did I or didn't I' question. I'd recommend this to anyone with a dog or who needs to remember anything." —Rachel Senterfeit
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in five other versions, like "Did you feed the fish?" and "Did you take your pills?").
16. Or an automatic pet feeder you can program to dispense noms at your pet's deeply-enforced mealtimes, so they don't start planning a revolt on days when you aren't able to pour their 5 p.m. dinner until — *gasp* — 5:03.
Promising review: "While you’re away for several days or just away for the day at work, you can rely on the Roffie to deliver exactly how much food you want at exactly the time you want. And it’s easy. Easy to program. Easy to use. Easy to maintain. You gotta love the simple yet sophisticated design, much like Apple products. Right down to the easy-to-use control panel that takes about two minutes to master. Plus, you can record a message that’s played at each feeding. How cool is that? So, based on the design, engineering, and precise manufacturing, you get a product that will help keep your pet healthy and do so in a way that gives you peace of mind." —robby lee
Get it from Amazon for $69.99.
17. Lemon-scented, Shark Tank-famous Scrub Daddy sponges ingeniously designed to be odor-resistant and scratch-free, with eye holes that make an easy grip and a mouth for scrubbing both sides of smaller objects at once. It'll also adjust to your needs by becoming soft in hot water and firm in cold. Forgive me for saying this, but yes, Daddy.
You can even clean 'em in the dishwasher! Check out BuzzFeed's full Scrub Daddy write-up.
Promising review: "Best sponge best value. This product is awesome. My wife and I live in a dishwasher-free apartment so we wash everything by hands. I decided to give this a try in lieu of microwaving my sponges in vinegar to get rid of the smell...ugh I hate sponge smell. This sponge never smells. Like ever...no more sponge smell on your hands! It slowly disintegrates, which basically has very small pieces flake off and go down the drain. Mine using it daily (multiple times a day) lasted one month. I use this sponge on all my pots and pans and nonstick areas...it is awesome! It cleans very well and for really tough areas and with the cold water it gets very hard and you can scrub away without fear of ruining your nonstick. Again...it is awesome!" —TyToshi
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99.
18. An efficient blind cleaner brush that recognizes how tough it is to reach those crevices, it really does. But letting all that dust sit there would just be (window)sill-y.
It comes with five microfiber sleeves!
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years, and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
19. The Laundress Crease Release spray, aka vegan and cruelty-free magic in a bottle that can make wrinkled clothes wearable with just a few spritzes — and no iron. Best of all, you can even use it on clothes you're already wearing and didn't have time to press...because you were, well, ~pressed~ for time.
BuzzFeed shopping writer Stephanie Hope swears by this stuff. She writes, "I'm 28, and I never actually learned how to use an iron. I mean I *get* how to do it, but have never owned one or done it myself. However, that doesn't mean that I walk around with wrinkled clothes! I own a personal steamer that I absolutely love, but when I'm feeling ~extra~ lazy or just running out of time, I have a secret weapon: the Laundress Crease Release spray. Hang your piece of clothing on a hanger or, if you're like me, just place it flat on your bed. Now you can either spritz all over *or* only on the wrinkled spots. Finally, give it a few gentle tugs to help smooth out the clothing and relax the fibers. And just like that, your shirt is looking way crisper and ready to be worn out! It's so simple to use, and it smells SO good! Sometimes I'll even just spray it on myself while I'm wearing the clothing! I find it so perfect for traveling, because I swear I have the Wrinkled Clothing Curse. Seriously, friends, this spray will save you time from ironing when you have simple little creases that don't require a whole ironing board to remove." Check out her full Laundress Crease Release review.

20. Adjustable bedsheet fasteners so making your bed doesn't have to entail fixing your so-called "fitted" sheet after all your tossing and turning. These will make it really fit — and STAY.
Promising review: "My husband turns a lot in his sleep and has always woken up with the fitted sheet halfway off his side of the bed. We bought these and we have NEVER once had to adjust the sheet in the morning! These are amazing! They're the kind of thing you'll never know how you lived without before." —LinseyB
Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.95 (available in three colors).
21. An amazing automatic spinning makeup brush cleaner and dryer that'll turn a tedious chore into a super-quick and satisfying one. Just put soap and water in the jar, attach the right size "collar" (there are eight, so together they can fit almost any brush) to the spinner, and let 'em spin away in the liquid to clean and in the air to dry.

Promising review: "I usually don’t write reviews, but this is a game changer! I bought this with very low expectations. I didn’t think it would clean the brushes, but I heard these devices are great for drying brushes. This cleaned my brushes and dries them in no time. This is probably my greatest Amazon purchase to date." —Dianna K.
Get it from Amazon for $17.98 (available in two colors).
22. An oh-so-helpful plastic bag holder for those moments when you feel like you'd need one or two additional limbs to stop your Sunday evening meal prep from being such a mess. We've all been there — so why have we gone without these for so long?
Promising review: "I prep my meals a month at a time and these make it much more convenient. These are especially helpful with raw meat, as I can use two hands while prepping the food and don't have to worry about keeping one clean to open the bag. I've also used them to portion out servings and ounces of meat when placed on a scale. They're not made of anything incredibly strong, but they're sturdy enough for full Ziploc bags of food." —Julie M
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99.
23. A revolutionary ScratchPad that'll basically get your dog to file their *own* nails while scratching away. The long-suffering, paw-scratched surfaces in your home will be oh-so-grateful, and you will be too now that you no longer have to wrangle your pup into a pedi.
It's from a small biz based in Atlanta, Georgia!
Promising review: "Like many, my fur child will not allow anyone near his nails. After the first two attempts with this, I thought it wasn't going to work — he just did not want to scratch. But the third day, I got it out and asked him to scratch and off he went! You definitely want to check his nails to make sure they are somewhat even. Mine had a nail that was shorter than the others so it was getting close to the quick. We use hotdogs (chicken and turkey) as his treat, and we made sure that this is a treat he only gets when doing his scratches, which makes it even more exciting. Still have to work on the back paws but I'm confident he will get there. We got the medium and coarse, the medium is just fine. I think the coarse would be too much when first training since you'll want to do it more often. Highly recommend!!" —tinarydar3
Get it from ScratchPadForDogs on Etsy for $44.95+ (available in medium or coarse grit or a combo and in four styles).
24. A helpful as heck moisture meter if you need some assistance figuring out how often and how much to water your plants to, ya know, actually keep them alive. You just pop this in the (indoor or outdoor) soil to determine whether it's time to water your leafy pals, for yet another tool in your "I won't kill it this time!!!" arsenal.
Promising review: "Who knew that one needs an accurate way to measure soil moisture levels? I saw a gardening expert using one of these, and it clicked. Earlier this summer I asked a friend why so many plants die so easily, and she said the number one problem is over-watering. Well, no more. I've only had this for a month, but my plants are looking perky and happy. So far this appears to be accurate, and I now feel more confident investing in more houseplants. Very easy to use, and no special care required." —empower7
Get it from Amazon for $9.32 (available in two colors).
25. A shirt-folding board, because maybe Sheldon Cooper was on to something. This wonder will make folding clothes more satisfying and fun (a low bar, I know) and get your tees and other garments folded so well that they'll actually take up less space.
Promising review: "My first reaction? 'Why did I buy this?' Then I opened the box and wasn't too convinced about the way it looked, as some edges look like they would quickly snap with use. Then I gave it a try with a couple of shirts I had just washed, and next thing you know I simply had to do my entire drawer! Everything folds so pretty, neat, and easy. I still couldn't believe it, so I ended up organizing our bedsheets and towels. I am amazed at how much of a game changer this is. Must try! Am in love with how beautiful it left my clothes." —Jesus Antonio Vedia
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in four colors).
26. Natural, cleansing, and odor-eliminating Bottle Bright tablets to make one of your least favorite chores — cleaning out your gross water bottle or travel mug — unbelievably easy, not to mention eliminate coffee and tea stains in there you thought were permanent.
Promising review: "I have glass and stainless steel water bottles that I love to use, but hate to clean. It's a pain trying to clean with a traditional brush and dish soap. Plus, there's always the issue of your water tasting soapy if you use just a little too much dish soap, yuck! These tablets are great and so easy to use! I just fill up the bottle with warm water and drop in a tablet. I leave it for 10 or 15 minutes, and then dump out the tablet water. I'll fill it up with water again, dump that out and it's ready to use. My water tastes fresh and there's no weird aftertaste or chemicals. I would definitely recommend this if you want to keep your reusable water bottles clean, but without all the hassle." —Alyssa Rose
Get three packs of 12 from Amazon for $24.
27. A super-helpful strainer bin set for anyone who has v little patience for hand-washing clothes (same). It not only speeds up the process, but also works great for small spaces (it's designed to fit in sinks) and saves you from sticking your hands in the icky water. You don't even need to tip it over to empty it when you're done — the base bucket has a drainage plug!
It's from a small business and was invented by a mom who was tired of being grossed out when washing cloth diapers!
Promising review: "I have a lot of hand-washing tasks that need quick attention. The Strucket provides just the answer, and without a lot of complexity or heavy lifting. An all-in-one tool for soak, wash, and rinse is just what I needed. We have used ours for about a year and don't want to go back to the old technique. Saves time and effort for such a common task." —Michael
Get a regular bucket and a strainer bucket from The Grommet for $59.95 (available in three colors).
28. A clean/dirty dishwasher magnet that's so simple yet game-changing, because apparently shouting, "HEY, ARE THESE DISHES CLEAN OR DIRTY," doesn't need to be a constant refrain in your home.
29. An unbelievably ingenious sock organizer made to fight back against the phenomenon that's plagued humankind since the invention of the washing machine — disappearing hosiery. You can throw this thing right in the laundry (!!!) so you'll never loose half of a pair of socks in the abyss again, or even have to spend time matching them up when you unload the dryer!
Promising review: "Totally obsessed with this! I’ve been using it a few weeks now and have zero complaints! I haven’t lost a single sock since! They always come out paired and completely dried (which was one of my concerns; I wasn’t sure if they were going to dry properly). I would definitely recommend this! It’s amazing and makes life so much easier! Especially with a toddler and baby on the way!" —Sarah Elizabeth

30. An efficient nonstick, carbon steel lasagna pan that'll allow you to prep dinner for folks with different preferences and diets all at once and offer triple the variety *without* taking triple the time.
I'll also turn every piece into the best kind of piece — an edge piece. In addition to lasagna, you can also use it for baking bread or layers for a layer cake!
Promising review: "As someone who has a child (now a teenager) who will not eat any form of cheese, this pan is amazing! I typically avoid making any food that has cheese mixed into it, but now I can make him a section without cheese and the rest of us our regular cheesy goodness. Another benefit to this pan is how well the portions slice. One cut with the spatula gives you a perfectly formed square. Each section makes four regular-sized portions for our family." —TLC101
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
31. A magnetic laundry cheat sheet set you can pop right on your washing machine to help you decode those mysterious laundry instruction symbols on clothing tags, figure out how to get stains out, and remember to clean your lint trap. Turns out adulting is an open-book test — plenty of people need to consult their notes!!!
This Denver-based shop also sells magnetic charts for other useful adulting info, like kitchen measurement conversions.
Promising review: "I LOVE these magnets! Makes my life so much easier; stuck right to my washer and dryer. They're very high quality." —Theresa S

32. A shockingly stylish treat pouch to solve the eternal do-I-bother-bringing-a-purse-just-to-walk-the-dog-and-what-kind struggle once and for all. Like New York's hottest club, it has everything — room for both doggo and human essentials, the ability to be worn as a crossbody or fanny pack, and even a poop bag dispenser on the side!
Promising review: "Practical and stylish. This treat pouch is so much better than the fanny pack I used to use! The strap sits comfortably across my body or around my waist, the divider inside keeps my phone and keys away from the dog treats, and the poop bag holder is an awesome feature! I got it in black, and I love that it doesn’t scream 'dog treat bag' like a lot of bags you see at pet stores. " —Nicole D.
Get it from Wild One for $44 (available in three colors).
33. Easy-Off Professional Fume-Free Max Oven Cleaner, a lemon-scented miracle that'll dissolve baked-on stains and grease you thought would be there till the year 3022. You'll be able to wipe 'em away without tons of elbow grease, so cleaning your oven will be so easy you'll actually, uh, do it.
Promising review: "WHAT WITCHCRAFT IS THIS?! Simply UNBELIEVABLE. Fume free and no gloves needed, but dissolves ANYTHING cooked on! I hadn't cleaned my oven EVER. I simply sprayed it on, shut the door overnight, and wiped it off with paper towels. You don't have to dread cleaning the oven ever again! You can use it for everyday spot cleaning and only have to let it sit for a couple of hours for minor things. I used it on a broiler pan that would not scrub clean with even steel wool. No need to scrub ever again now! My Crock-Pot leaked over the bowl and got burned on the inside heating chamber; I just sprayed, covered, and wiped in the morning.

Promising review: "I'm sad I found this after my kids were done with baby bottles, but happy to have it now to use with water bottles. It's a much more stylish version of the typical bottle scrubber. It very easy to clean as the top pops off and you can scrub the inside. I love that I can buy the refill brushes as the current ones wear out too." —Brittany
