Promising review: "Perfect for what I needed. I do not have real counter space and my bathroom sink was starting to look cluttered. This holds everything I need and gets it off the counter. Plus, it has a clean look to it so it looks great too! Bottom comes off for easier cleaning too!" —Bella Boo

Promising review: "I love the Shower Gem. I have four in my shower and they work great! Everything has a place and when it needs cleaning I just put them in the dishwasher. I would recommend it to everyone!" —pam griffith

Promising review: "We are apartment living, so storage is always an issue, and the bathroom is no exception. No one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you're knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each that I actually have space left over. My husband's back scrubber, my shampoo and haircare, and my daughter's bubble baths and bath floofies all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height so I'm not crouching to find anything. The curtain is clear so I didn't have to change the "pretty" one for decorative purposes, and it doesn't affect light that way either. Either way, I am super pleased, and I am keeping this link handy in case another one is EVER needed." —goodnite.graci

Promising review: "I bought a few of these for my bathroom cabinet, and am now faced with a neatly organized assortment of my OTC products, cosmetics, etc., instead of having stuff tumbling out all over the place. Well-made, well-priced, and useful." —Lynda Spiegel

Promising review: "My bathroom is all tiled so it's kinda risky to drill. I also living in NY where you don't have much space. These shelves were the perfect solution to my issues. They're not hard to install at all, just have in mind that they're made of plastic and they look like it. Also the adhesive plastic squares are visible after installed, so have that in mind. It fits my needs perfectly. They hold the weight I need them to hold: toilet paper, some jars with cotton and Q-tips and some decor." —Jorge Novelo

Promising review: "Not only is there plenty of room for six rubber animals — complete foam alphabet and 10-digit numbers, and other random toys — this organizer also actually sticks to the wall! I used Windex on the wall just like the instructions explained, turned the hook, and voilà! They stuck to a wall that's not exactly a flat surface. Also, I love this toy bag because it leaves corner tub space available for shampoo, conditioner, and soap bottles. In my house, that extra space is priceless! Don't look any further than this product. It is AWESOME." —Sara

Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer and the cords were a pain, but this metal basket minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and also looks nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable as well, but the basket fit perfectly to my cabinet. Worth the buy." —Alyssa Jewell

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and 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

Pardo Naturals is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business helmed by Rita Pardo, a mom who was looking for natural hair, body, and home products that wouldn't irritate her daughter's severe eczema.
For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (although that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes a while for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup.

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still managed to grow mold and turn brown/black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product and the transformation is huge. First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." —Rochelle

Promising review: "If I could give it 10 stars I would. If you have a tile shower that is the bane of your existence like mine...you need these! They clean what no human hands can in half the time. Still hard work to use but way better then the old-fashioned way!" —jennifer

Promising review: "I have long hair and recently had a baby. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamo

Promising review: "Me and my roomie use it right after the shower, and it keeps our shower pretty immaculate. All the shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair, and water spots are swiped clean from the glass shower doors to be washed away on the bottom of the shower. I hate walking into my bathroom and seeing a dirty, cloudy shower door. This does the job beautifully. The suction on this is AWESOME! I've had it for a month and it hasn't separated from the shower wall, and we use it every day. The actual blade is easy to clean, I just spray some bleach-free cleaner on a paper towel to wipe off any grime. I also like to use this squeegee to get the condensation off the mirror. I typically stay in the bathroom for 15 minutes after I shower to do my skincare routine, and I like to be able to see my reflection. This wipes that right off without leaving streaks and also leaves the mirrors immaculate. BUY THE SQUEEGEE. It's worth every penny. I don't even use a 1/3 of the window cleaner or bathroom cleaner I was using before buying this squeegee since it does such a good job of just wiping all that daily grime down the drain. I like saving money and time, so I'll be using this daily to cut down on money spent on cleaning products and time." —MsDbone

Promising review: "This is the best thing I've found to use for my shower stall. I have hard water in my house so if water is left on any glass surface, the water stains of calcium buildup leave a rather nasty look. After using this the water beads up and rolls down. It works really well. I'm thoroughly impressed with it." —Amazon Customer

My coworker Natalie Brown swears by this tip:
"I've tried this, it 100% works: Those are literally my before and after pics above! (The exception? If you have incredibly hard water — then you may need to use something stronger than vinegar, like CLR, $13.98 on Amazon.) Simply guide the bag over the shower head, bunch it on the pipe at the back fo the head, and loop a rubber band around that bunched spot a few times until it seems like it'll hold."

Natalie also tested these slippers and said they were surprisingly helpful:
"No, they're definitely not even close to as effective as a broom or even a focused dust mopping would be, but their microfiber bottoms will still pick up *some* dust and grime. When I wore them for a week, I ended up using my feet as little brooms, sweeping everything into one pile that was easier to pick up. So my floors were actually a little cleaner!"

Some genius reviewers had the idea of labeling each bag to make it clear what's what. To do that, you'll need some letter stencils and a permanent marker.
Promising review: "It will make sorting and doing laundry much easier. The cart has locking wheels to keep it in place. Also, each section is separate and can be lifted out on its own. Will work out much better than some previous versions I've had where compartments where stitched together. I'm excited to use this. Was pretty easy and straitforward to put together." —Cassandra Samuels

Promising review: "The brush works like any other toilet brush, but we love that it is hidden. You have to look very hard to see it but it is easily accessible if you need it. It was also easy to assemble — just click two parts together and hang off the toilet bowl. I would recommend buying this product." —Ariel

My fellow BuzzFeed editor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this organizer. In her own words:
"I'm not exaggerating when I say this thing is the best investment ever. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawered thing. Here are all the products that I currently have in there: 32 lipsticks, six blushes and bronzers, two large highlighter sticks, one foundation bottle, three concealers, two contouring sticks, two rollerball perfumes, two primers, and the bottom drawer contains so many lip pencils, eyeliners, and eyeshadow sticks that I actually didn't even bother counting (but I'm going to guess AT LEAST 30 of them, I swear). If you have A TON OF MAKEUP (which I do), then you may still have to store some extra stuff in your bags — but either way, this container holds SO much."
