    30 Things That'll Make Your Home Look Better In Under An Hour

    If you've got guests coming over in a few, have no fear — these will help.

    1. These eucalyptus toilet-cleaning bombs because cleaning toilets is not a task you're jumping up and down to do. These freshen the bathroom and leave the toilet sparkling in a jiffy. You can use them for sinks, tubs, and garbage disposals too!

    2. Or these Clorox toilet tablets to disinfect your toilet in just five minutes. Drop them in, watch the water turn blue like you've cast a spell, and voilà!

    3. A statement-making boho color-block wall decal that'll lighten up your walls without requiring the huge effort of hanging wallpaper or spending hours painting. And no worries, this is removable.

    4. A cotton swab holder that's as a cute place as you'll find to hide your toothpicks, dental flossers, and cotton swabs.

    5. A super pretty rainbow prism suncatcher so you can instantly bask in tiny little rainbows that'll really perk your mood up!

    6. A ChomChom pet hair roller if your pet sheds a lot...like a lot, a lot. And you're tired of cleaning up after it. And if guests are coming over in an hour? Just roll, roll, roll, and watch the fur lift away!

    7. A decorative irregular-shaped mirror because it's funky and cool and will give your space an airy, breezy feel.

    8. A cult-fave jar of The Pink Stuff paste that'll remove everything from stains, rust, and discoloration to stubborn marks from metal, ceramic tiles, saucepans, barbecues and yeah, more. If you spilled dinner all over the table and your mom is just about to come home, have no fear — this'll get off any gunk or mess you can imagine.

    11. An all-natural, vegan, non-toxic, and cruelty-free Puracy stain remover for getting rid of evidence of your wine spills, pet messes, dirt, and so on. It's like a stain-vanishing potion! You'll be surprised how easy it is to use.

    12. A time-saving robot vacuum to make yourself feel like you live in the future — never again will you touch a broom. All you have to do is set the robot's cleaning schedule and it's got you the way its got the backs of over 34,000 5-star reviewers!

    13. A pumice stone to make the inside of your toilet look totally spotless and pretty because, ya know, pretty toilets are a thing. And hopefully the friends you have coming over in an hour will keep it that way!

    14. A power scrubber brush you attach to an actual drill (um, wow) to do all the backbreaking work for you. You'll be done before you've even finished saying "power scrubber brush."

    19. A pack of (reusable) watermark remover cloths so your guests won't get wind of those unsightly water and heat stains from the five cups of coffee you had just that morning.

    20. A storage box for all those pesky cables, cords, and loose wires that make your room look ugly. This doubles as a charging station for your devices too (and of course, looks nice in your room)!

    21. And an ultra thin electrical cover connected to a power strip that lets you charge six devices at a time! No more bulky plugs and tangling wires your friends might trip over. And they won't see all the scratches from dragging furniture either because there won't be any when you have this!

    22. A charming vines wall decal to transform your bedroom into a fairytale castle or sun-soaked cottage. Your pick!

    24. A rolling utility cart for a sleek touch to your decor and also more space anywhere you need it in your home. Use it in the dining room as a bar cart or in the bedroom so your books and skincare aren't cluttered everywhere.

    25. An add-on storage shelf you'll probably cry over because you don't need any tools to install it. (Just expand it to the size you need and tighten the screws with your hand!) That empty space above your closet finally becomes useful, and your floor finally becomes clear of towels, shirts, and bags so it'll look fresh and ready for new decor once again.

    29. A microfiber duster that actually traps all the dust that arises when you're cleaning so it won't float around the air and make you sneeze — and then feel like you haven't even cleaned at all because there's so much dust. When you're done, just remove the cloth and throw it in the wash!

    30. A frankincense and myrrh all-purpose cleaner you'll reach for to clean everything from floors and cabinets to windows, sinks, cars, and even dirty mop heads. You can also use it to boost your laundry detergent or as a spot cleaner for stains. This one's not kidding around!
