    29 Products That’ll Help You Do The Bare Minimum

    Exerting more effort than necessary — no thank you.

    1. An acne patch because you simply slap it on a zit before bed and wake up with a dramatically less angry breakout. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil are gentle on the skin while still drawing out fluids and pus from your pimple — all without you needing to use approximately 10 different products and an extraction kit.

    2. A pet hair remover if you can't be bothered to vacuum your whole house every other day just to deal with all the fur. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    3. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray for making soap scum and shower grime buildup go bye-bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.

    Before: a dirty shower floor; after: the clean shower floor

    4. An Etude House drying powder to spare you from having to reapply messy powder every hour. This'll help control your skin's oil production and keep your face from looking greasy. You can also apply it to your hair (make sure you dust off the residue) so your roots look freshly washed.

    5. A jewelry-cleaning pen that'll make your jewels sparkle with just a few swipes. No more having to scrub...and scrub...and scrub some more with a toothbrush.

    6. A robot vacuum so the hardest you'll have to work is lifting a finger to press the start button on the remote. Having a mountain of pet fur to hoover on the weekend? No, thank you!

    7. A pack of stain-removing pads because you simply lay them over the spot, give 'em a stomp to activate their cleaning powders, and watch the stain disappear — no bulky carpet steamer necessary!

    8. A drill brush kit with three different heads if you gave up on baths a long time ago because getting your tub sparkly clean didn't feel possible. No more furiously scrubbing your tub; instead, just attach the brush head and flip the switch on your drill. Why work harder when you could work smarter?

    9. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaner for deodorizing your sink. Plop a packet in your disposal, run it, and watch blue cleansing foam bubble up (and the bad smells drift away). So easy!

    10. Dishwasher cleaning tablets to do practically all the work for you — no scrubbing needed! Say goodbye to having to wash your dishes and plates again by hand because they're coated in mysterious white crusty bits.

    11. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets that'll require zero elbow grease while removing stains and stinky smells you thought were imprinted on your travel mug forever.

    12. A Green Chef subscription so you can chow down on delicious organic and sustainably sourced meals without stepping foot in a grocery store. Hate all the prep work involved when you cook? Samesies! Thankfully Green Chef sends you pre-measured pre-prepped ingredients so you can toss it all right in the pan.

    13. A mold and mildew remover because you can set it, forget it, and come back in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. If your brain is filled with images of your dirty shower grout every time you close your eyes and try to relax...you definitely need this.

    14. A pack of hanging vacuum bags if the sign outside your closet says no vacancy. With these genius bags, you can shrink your bulky jackets while they're on the hanger instead of trying to fold and smush them in a regular vacuum bag.

    15. A variety pack of A Dozen Cousins ready-to-eat seasoned beans for those nights when you need a quick, easy meal. Just pop them in the microwave, and they're ready in 60 seconds. Or, use them to zhuzh up leftovers so you can finally clear some fridge space.

    16. A liquid tartar remover to help clean your doggo's teeth, because lord knows they will not let you within 5 feet of them if they see you coming with a toothbrush. Think of this as doggy mouthwash! Just add this to their water and you'll notice your dog's plaque and bad breath subside.

    17. A mounted brush that'll finally earn you your cat's affection. If kitty would prefer you brushed them for 23 hours a day, this'll keep them occupied for approximately 22 hours so you can still enjoy your brushies during mother-son bonding time but you won't have to brush them 'til your arm falls off.

    18. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you can polish your toilet without ever having to pick up a dirty toilet brush. *shudders* The stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet.

    19. Some stain-removing tablets because spending your Sunday scrubbing wine stains on your shirt from Saturday's movie night is for silly billies. Toss one in with a regular load and your whites will emerge dramatically whiter.

    20. A do-it-all cruelty-free lengthening mascara if you want a voluminous curl without having to apply a primer and two different mascaras. This one is lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — what more could you ask for?

    21. A set of wad-free pads for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. If you've ever opened the dryer expecting...well...dry sheets only to find them tangled in a damp ball, you need this. Doing the bare minimum = having to dry your bedsheets only once.

    22. A streak-free anti-fog spray to do the important task of keeping your glasses clear while you're wearing your mask. No more having to remove and wipe down your foggy spectacles every 10 minutes! It's also great for spritzing on your mirrors, goggles, and even your windshield.

    23. A teeth-whitening pen that'll be a heck of a lot quicker (and taste a lot better) than those irritating whitening strips that slip and slide all over your teeth. You can use each pen ~20 times and should expect your teeth to lighten four to eight shades.

    Reviewer before and after showing the pen noticeably whitened their yellow teeth

    24. An interactive cat toy so you can tire your energetic feline in just a few minutes instead of having to cycle through every toy they own in an attempt to calm them before bedtime.

    25. Some washing machine cleaning tablets that clean and freshen the inside while dissolving residue because having to deep clean your washer is *checks schedule* not on the calendar for this weekend.

    26. A pack of fizzing toilet tabs if you would be perfectly happy to never touch a dirty toilet brush again. These'll make your dream a reality. It's basically a sanitizing bath bomb that disinfects your toilet.

    27. A 2-in-1 highlighter and contour stick for making makeup application as minimal as possible. This tube will add depth and sparkle to your skin without taking up a ton of space in your purse or requiring separate brushes.

    28. A Revlon hot air brush to help you go from wet, tangled, frizzy hair to a shiny, salon-worthy blowout by literally brushing your hair. Tell your round brush and the inevitable wrist pain that comes 10 minutes into a blow-dry to get lost.

    29. A box of pore-tightening, skin-lifting face masks that'll truly terrify you at first because you'll look like a zombie once you've applied it, and second because it's so darn effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles. Ditch the complicated 10-step skincare routine and try this instead.

    Do yourself a favor and try some of these before you judge me!
