    Ordering These 40 Products Might Actually Motivate You To Cook, Organize, Or Clean

    Sometimes, it just takes a little push (and possibly a little lavender baking set) to encourage us to cook, clean, and organize our lives.

    1. A stuffed waffle maker — this applause-worthy appliance is designed with a deep, bowl-like griddle which allows you to cook the batter with fillings (we're talking chocolate, fruit, cheese, meat...the works). Upgrade your morning routine from frozen waffles to a homemade meal that'll look straight off a "best of" brunch menu.

    Promising review: "I bought this after I saw a video on TikTok, so I had an idea about the yummy waffles I could make. First waffles were stuffed with apple pie filling. Second ones scrambled eggs with bacon and cheese. Just amazing!!! The only way you could make this better is to send a chef!! I definitely recommend watching a video on TikTok or YouTube to inspire you before you start!!" —Adirondackdarling

    2. daily shower cleaner from Method you better believe I personally bought in bulk! I've been using this for several months, after being brutally embarrassed while watching cleaning videos on TikTok and realizing people wash their shower/bath after every use. Which I totally do too...um, now. This spray is simple *and* washed away my shower shame. Thank gawd.

    Promising review: "This works well as a daily shower treatment. I have used this product for years and like that it has a pleasant scent and it does seem to reduce the build-up of soap scum in between routine shower scrub-downs. I am glad to order it on Amazon." —Sheila

    5. A *lavender* baking set perfect to put on a wedding registry or a birthday wish list. Each piece is made with heavy-duty aluminized steel and a ceramic finish. Dare I say...these might be even more *delicious* than the foods we all make in them (oh yeah, you bet I'm getting myself a set).

    Promising review: "This set has everything! I’m so happy that I finally have a matching set! I love the color too! The large baking dish is perfect for large portions. I doubled a recipe of my shepherd's pie and still had plenty of room. The pans have been great — nothing has stuck to them yet and they clean up so easily. I’m loving this brand. Everything has been great quality and a really reasonable price." —JackieG

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

    Several utensil holders side-by-side with tons of utensils in the individual slots

    I use this in my kitchen! I have to admit...it hasn't exaaactly helped with organization. What it *has* done is created a neat and orderly spot for my utensils...opening up a ton of extra drawer space for my unruly stash of pens, bouillon cubes, drink flavor packets, and the like. Long story short — I recommend this for tidy and messy folks alike!

    Promising review: "My mama found herself needing this after a funeral when somehow she wound up hosting several guests from the funeral for lunch. She had no meat defrosted and had little time to spare. She had not used this before and she is not tech savvy at all. She did not have any directions whatsoever. But between my dad and she, they were able to cook a frozen (whole) turkey in minutes (and were able to figure out how to use it easily without killing themselves). This is a miracle machine! They were amazed how brilliantly the turkey turned out. It was cooked perfectly!" —Southern Charm

    Get it from Amazon for $79.95+ (available in three sizes).

    Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin

    Get it from Amazon for $6.80 (also available in multipacks).

    12. A crepe maker with its own easy-to-use batter spreader. With this nifty tool you can effortlessly make a brunch worthy of a 5-star Yelp review from the comfort of your own kitchen.

    Promising review: "This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus of water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I’ve been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!" —Amazon Customer

    16. A pie bird — place this in the center of your unbaked pie and it can prevent the filling from boiling over while baking. The design helps distribute moisture throughout the dish to keep the bottom from getting soggy *and* it even helps up top by making sure the crust cooks evenly and doesn't split!

    This pie bird is safe for the freezer, microwave, oven, broiler, and dishwasher!

    Promising review: "Amazing what difference this bird can make to your pie! I definitely made the best apple pie I've ever made with this little device. For the first time ever, my pie did not spill out juices onto the pan below or into the stove, and the crust was flaky and crisper than it has ever been. I really cannot speak highly enough of how well this pie bird worked. If you make pies, you need one of these!" —Happylakedreamer

    Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in five colors).

    17. A TubShroom that'll keep your drain hair-free. Your dad did his best to instill in you a lifelong fear of what comes out of clogged drains...use this and you won't ever see what he was pulling out of them.

    Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, but with this it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock

Assorted sizes made it easy to sort out what I had and make best use of the space. The bins are beautifully made and look great on a shelf, in a drawer, in a cabinet, or even on the countertop. I would definitely buy again and have already suggested them to my friends. Happy to find quality products that are Made in the USA!" —Linda

    Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'with all the science and technology in the world we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds.

    If you'd like to make a checkerboard cake – you need this piece! 

    Promising review: "I was scared to work with layer cakes before because I fail miserably in leveling cakes. Ruler and knife just do not work for me! I can't do it! I decided to give this a try and, boy, I feel like I am an expert cake maker. It's so easy to use and it works perfectly. So far I have tried it on white almond sour cream cake and it has done great. I was able to do a checkerboard cake and I couldn't imagine pulling it off before. Can't wait to make more fabulous cakes! If you suck at leveling cakes, do not hesitate to get this tool! I promise you are going to love it!'' —E. Champion

I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes.

Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." —Romario

    Promising review: "In looking for a new hand blender I felt fortunate to find this. At 500 watts this one is more powerful than most, the steel feels substantial, and the attachments are very easy to change. I am impressed with how fast it is and cleanup is super easy. This one is perfect for my needs, no frills, just a very sleek tool for a serious cook!" —farm folk

    Promising review: "I grew tired of throwing my empty hangers into a pile in my closet. They would get all tangled up and really frustrated the heck out of me every time I had to put away clothes! This hanger stacker seemed like an easy solution and boy, was I right! It assembles really easily (just two screws and an Allen wrench) and it is good at keeping my hangers organized. Buy one — you won't regret it!" —Bubbles456

Whew! Sorry for all that, I really got Caraway'd away! 

    The set has a 10.5 inch fry pan, a 3 quart sauce pan and lid, a 4.5 quart sauté pan and a lid, a 6.5 quart Dutch oven and a lid, and storage for the pans and lids. 

    Promising review: "I absolutely love my Caraway cookware! They are so easy to clean and the magnetic organizers are great for easy storage in kitchen cabinets. I love the hanging lid holder as it saves space and is super convenient (and renter friendly with the adhesive hooks). The only thing I would mention is that they are not super lightweight. Otherwise, they are superb quality, non-toxic, non-stick, and beautiful!" —Rachel

    Get it from Amazon for $395 (available in seven colors).

    26. An ammonia-free glass and window cleaner that'll wipe away fingerprints and dog drool off the inside of your sliding doors without filling your home with a chemical smell. This is also a great option if you have a glass dining room table, like the reviewer below! 

    Promising review: "I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." —ASull

    Promising review: "I have been swapping out my plastics for glass and I am so very grateful I found these. They are durable, do well in the microwave (even with the lid), and they create a wonderful seal on your food. The colors are fun and playful. The price compared to what you get is spot on. They are stackable and you can store the small dishes in the bigger ones. Great for kids lunches or a busy adult." —Amanda Lovell

    Get them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in six colors).

    28. Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner for jets that have filled with dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria-filled buildup because your "treat yourself" baths did not involve cleaning up afterwards.

    It's from a family-owned, Minnesota-based company!

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets). Almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then most came out as the chemical had time to circulate. So glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house and I thought, 'Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.' Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out." —Aaron Johnson

    29. And a bleach-free weekly shower spray — this both cleans your shower *and* prevents soap scum buildup in the future. Spray this in the shower one a week before bed, go snooze, wash it off in the A.M. and then your shower is gonna be shining, shimmering, and splendid.

    Promising review: "I love this product. I've made so many different rices in it. The only thing I suggest is when making rice that might end up sitting in the pot for a while, put some olive oil on the bottom as the rice tends to stick if it's sitting on the 'warm' setting for too long, or add some extra water. The rice cooker is wonderful though. It's a real time-saver." —Michelle

    31. A set of four cabinet shelf organizers for maximizing awkward cabinet space. They also stack, so feel free to put your puzzle skills to use and fit short, tall, and awkwardly shaped cookie jars in a neat and tidy setup. 

    Promising review: "Randomly write reviews, but you need this! EXACTLY what we were looking for. Oak color blends right into interior of cabinets and white supports match our dishes. Going to, for sure, buy more for every cabinet in the house. Instantly gained twice the storage. No longer have to pick up a stack of dishes to grab a tray, etc. Bargain as well. Looks way better and supports so much more than old wire shelves... Solid wood/metal. Easy to install each shelf with nothing but the four screws included and a Phillips head screwdriver. Had all four "built" in less than five minutes. 100% recommend! —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "We recently had the inside of our garage finished, which meant we could no longer hang stuff on the wall. We had to find something to hold things. We have dozens of Rubbermaid products around the house, from shelf liners to laundry basket and hamper. It arrived in a couple of days. My wife assembled it in a few minutes and loaded it up with the shovel, rake, broom and whatnot. It's perfect. It may not be the pretties thing in the garage but it does what it was make for. I would we recommend this to others, you bet." —Edward L. Piltch

    Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups.

    Promising review: "I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." —tunisianswife

    Promising review: "This digital meat thermometer is the best I've ever had. I own others but they are either too bulky to fit in the drawer, or too hard to read. This one is small, lightweight, it's easy to pull out the probe, and very easy to read the temperature. I purchased several as stocking stuffers for Christmas – just three months away! I highly recommend getting several with the holidays coming up. They make a gift that will be appreciated for it's size and ease of use, but, most importantly, it will be a gift that gets used instead of put away in the closet." —Kat29

    36. A stovetop cleaning solution with tools for times when your kitchen is so messy you're worried it'd be a fire hazard to make anything fancier than a sandwich. 

    This set comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper.

    Promising review: "As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand new." —Christi Lambertson

    Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in two styles).

    37. A bottle of Folex spot remover — this water-based cleaning spray is designed to dissolve ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, and even wine. So go ahead, get messy. 

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

    38. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher!

    39. A 10-piece mixing bowl set you can use as mixing bowls, serving dishes, leftover containers, and the family popcorn bowls. I own these and have told my whole family to get them. You all were next on my list! Get them.

    I bought these bowls after a coworker found them (you bet I'm a sucker for BuzzFeed shopping posts) and I can't help but rave about them! They all nest easily, which makes storing simple in my tiny Brooklyn kitchen, and the lids are a major bonus for storing leftovers. They're also practically indestructible – my cat has knocked these off the counter as a set and individually (he's a monster) and they've held up great!

    Promising review: "I love these bowls! Not only are they pretty, but they are the right size for my everyday needs. I honestly think I've used one of them nearly every day since I got them. I'm extremely happy with my purchase." —J Owens
