    37 Little Upgrades For Anyone Who Hates Their Current Kitchen Situation

    Your kitchen is about to become the best room in the house with these products.

    1. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of items and surfaces in your kitchen.

    Note that it shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces.

    Promising review: "This stuff is a do-it-all cleaner!!! I took it all over my home. From kitchen to bath to laundry room and it removed alllll the stains!!! Brought my chrome faucet's shine back, made my oven cleaning sooo much easier, and took the dullness out of my sinks! Get this one for an all-around all-purpose cleaner!! 👏🏾👏🏾 As instructed, rub gently as it is abrasive. And no harsh smells." —Tierra

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    2. A set of airtight storage containers that boast a multitude of good reasons to hit "add to cart" immediately. For starters, they'll help keep dry food (like cereal, crackers, dried fruit, etc.) fresh, they'll keep your kitchen nice and organized (because boxes and bags strewn all over is NOT it), and they look damn good. Hello, it's 2023, we're all about the aesthetics.

    Promising review: "I ordered a few different sets from this company and all seem really airtight so far. I like how they stack and am loving the label options. My pantry is looking really organized. Yay!" —Jackie

    Get a set of 15 from Amazon for $26.99+ (available with blue, black, and clear lids).

    3. wood polish and conditioner for bringing your precious wooden furniture and floors back to factory condition. Did you just get your kitchen redone by an HGTV crew, or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products?

    Promising review: "I have many antique pieces of furniture that are really dry and dull, so I was looking for a quick fix without stripping and restoring. This stuff is fantastic and did amazing. I even found my husband testing it out on furniture I hadn't got to. It goes a long way, smells great, and I just bought two more bottles for antiques and regular furniture I have in another home. It really is a miracle." —Amazon Customer Linda

    Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.60

    4. A super cool and useful magnetic stove shelf you simply put on top of your stove and boom — instant additional storage space for things like spices, oil, and anything else you may need!

    Amazon

    StoveShelf is based in the US and sells various options of shelves for your stove.

    Promising review: "There was no setup. Take it out of the box and place it on the stove. The magnets are very strong keeping the shelf fixed in place. The magnets are raised allowing air flow underneath preventing the shelf from heating up. Sizing was perfect. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in three sizes and in three finishes). 

    5. An ice tray for making the perfect spherical ice balls your heart desires. Your next glass of Diet Coke is about to be sooooo good with these.

    Promising review: "Worth every penny. I hit a wall with my ice trays always breaking, hard to get ice out, empty too quickly. I splurged on this set and am really impressed. I already have a bin (which it comes with) full of ice and two backups freezing. And the little scoop is fun as heck. Highly recommend if you don't have an ice maker!" —Kascidy Badon

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors). 

    6. garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and those nasty smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so...disgusting. The biodegradable packet cleans/scrubs away at buildup and yucky smells on sidewalls, blades, under the splashguard, and other hidden areas.

    Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.

    7. natural oven scrub cleaner so the appliance you use to roast yummy veggies, bake sweet treats, and heat up frozen pizzas will be clean as can be.

    Everneat / Etsy

    Everneat is an Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that sells 100% natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths. 

    This comes with the jar of oven scrub as well as a professional-grade metallic scrubber. You can use this to clean your enamel oven, racks, the oven door's interior glass panel. 

    Promising review: "I am in absolute shock over how well this works. I really wish I took a before picture. WOW! My oven door window had grime on it for years that i couldn't get off from the previous owners so I'm estimating it's been like that for 4+ years. Nothing helped to cut through it and finally this oven cleaner made it look brand new. Still in shock!! Would highly recommend. Also, the smell of the product is sooo delightful." —Vanessa

    Get it from Everneat on Amazon or Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).

    8. A knife organizer because opening up your drawer to a messy pile of sharp utensils is a pretty inefficient use of space. Whether you're looking for a tool to chop up an onion, cut into a piece of steak, or just butter some toast, this thing will make it easy to find what you need.

    Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and had to get it! It eliminated our knife block and helped clear up our countertops. It fits perfectly in our drawer next to the smaller Joseph Joseph silverware holder. Absolutely love it." —TWald88

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59.

    9. Reusable microfiber mop pads for a greener, more cost-efficient way of keeping your kitchen floors clean. Buying new mop pads every few weeks and then tossing them in the garbage will now be a thing of the past!

    Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I made and here’s why. It comes in a set of four pads and it will last you a long while. I have only used two of them and they come out of washer and dryer just as new as when they went in. It also absorbs any liquid cleaner you use and there’s no streak or damp spots where you can slip or fall while cleaning, like when you use dry/pre-soaked disposable pads — and it also cleans smoothly on the surface and picks up dirt 10 times better than disposable pads. My family has used them for about month to give it a fair shot and am so glad I got these pads. No more waiting for coupons to come in Sunday newspaper to buy throwaway pads! I highly recommend these guys!" —HJ

    Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $35.99 (also available in packs of two and four).

    10. self-adhesive paper towel holder to place on your wall or under a cabinet so you can finally clear up some precious counter space.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me do it, but I love it. The stainless steel blends so nicely with the rest of my kitchen, the install was as a simple peel and stick with small mounting screws and matching caps so you don't see the mounting screws, and it holds a seamless look." —Michaelle K.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in seven finishes). 

    11. A compost bin perfect for those who might be looking for a neater way to recycle food waste into compost for soil. Less garbage in the landfill and more green contributions to our beautiful planet. A win-win!

    Goodful

    Promising review: "This product was recommended to me as a newbie composter. It sits on my kitchen counter ready for the next stash, takes up little space, and is a good color match. The filter does a great job keeping any smell away as does the bucket itself. It's easy to transport, clean by hand, or in the dishwasher. I recommend!" —Diane M

    Get it from our Goodful shop for $40 (available in five colors).

    12. wall charger complete with six outlets AND two USB ports because not having enough outlets in your kitchen for all of your appliances and gadgets is such a last-year problem.

    Charger with several large plugs in it

    Promising review: "I was constantly having to unplug something in my kitchen to make room for charging my iPhone or watch or using the slow cooker or any of the other half dozen things I wanted to use at the most convenient spot in the house...the kitchen counter. My 140-year-old house has a distinct shortage of outlets in the kitchen, so this product looked like a good option. It exceeded my expectations, and has made my electronic life much simpler. Features that I love other than the excellent number of outlet options it gives are that it screws into place (so it doesn’t pull out of the outlet when you try to unplug something), the versatility of having the USB ports, and the light feature that I appreciate a stupid amount. Yeah, the light switch is right next to it on the wall, but who wants to flip on a light just to plug something in? So basically the price was great, it arrived quickly, and it looks nice. I have a cordless phone plugged in, plus an Echo Show, my Apple Watch charger, my iPad, and an iPhone plugged in, with outlets to spare. I’ll run out of counter space before I run out of outlets." —HappyCarnivore

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97.

    13. An expandable colander that'll help you make the most out of limited kitchen space by being able to rinse off your food right over your sink!

    reviewer's strainer with fruits inside

    Promising review: "I don't want a kitchen sink without this tool ever again. I love this! I have had it for a week and it just works for my needs! I ended up getting it for silverware and other small utensils because something got stuck in the garbage disposal somehow. However, it also works for rinsing vegetables and fruits when I have dishes in the sink to clean. I don’t have a dishwasher so being able to separate things is so useful. The size is adjustable and that makes it even more worth it!" —Jocelyn

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in six colors).

    14. sliding caddy set because trust, it'll be so much easier to just slide a caddy out to use your gadgets/appliances than pulling the appliance itself.

    Promising review: "I have a place under my counter that holds my Keurig and my toaster and I wanted/needed something that I could pull them out to toast bread and to put water in my Keurig, because it was a very very tight spot and I couldn’t do those things. This is a great product and I absolutely LOVE these for the use it has given me." —stephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99

    15. surface cover to revamp countertops, tables, and furniture and make them look like beautiful marble pieces.

    Promising review: "I took a chance and bought this originally as a 'Band-Aid fix' to re-finish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that...paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl (?) with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and re-finished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don't have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop." —Z

    Get it from Amazon for $5.39+ (available in five sizes).

    16. A pair of stove gaps so you can finally put an end to the annoyance that is grains of rice, tiny produce seeds, and other crumbs falling into the space between your oven and your countertops. It's too small of a space to vacuum things that do fall there, but somehow plenty big enough for them to fall there in the first place. UGH!

    Promising review: "My daughter recently shared a TikTok video of this item, and it's a treasure! We highly recommend this, as it eliminates the difficult task of cleaning between the stove and counter/cabinet." —allycat

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

    17. A pack of storage bins to keep the contents of your fridge and freezer more organized and easier to find. Every time you clean the inside, you promise to stay more organized next time around, and it just never happens. Not this time!

    Promising review: "My daughter wanted to organize the fridge after watching a series of TikTok videos! These were exactly what she wanted! Download TikTok for your kids and maybe they will want to help organize, too!" —Timothy C.

    Get a set of eight bins from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four sizes and in packs of 2, 4, 6, 10, and 14).

    18. And customizable labels that'll help take the guesswork out of finding exactly you need. Looking for a bag of carrots? Check the bin labeled "veggies." Need the mustard? Check the "condiments" area. You get the point.

    KW Printables is a woman-owned small biz based in Florida that sells custom gifts, planning printables, and vinyl decals! 

    Promising review: "Lovely shop owner, extremely prompt with answering all my questions. Very helpful to ensure I got the correct sizes for my labels. Fast turn around time and speedy shipping! I decided on gray labels and love that they almost blend in and aren’t so bold!!! Love having my fridge labeled!" —Krysta Buchholz

    Get it from KW Printables on Etsy for $2.50 per label (available in five colors and sizes).

    19. can organizer for keeping your favorite sodas, seltzers, and beers in a tidy spot in your fridge.

    Promising review: "Fits great in my standard fridge! These keep soda organized and well placed, and I love not having to keep the boxes in the fridge to keep them up and organized! I would 100% recommend these for families that keep more than one type of soda in at once. ❤️" —Andrea Anderson

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $24.87 (available in four colors). 

    20. pan rack that you are definitely gonna thank yourself for buying. The struggle of having to dig through all of your pans just to find the right one is now a thing of the past.

    Promising review: "Totally bought these because of TikTok but I love them! They are exactly what I never knew I needed. Very easy to set up and help keep my cabinets organized so I can always find what I am looking for right away without having to take everything out of my cabinet to get to it." —Joni Thomas

    Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (available in three colors).

    21. roll-up dish drying rack anyone with a kitchen on the smaller side (especially when it comes to counter space) is gonna be so thankful exists because now you don't need to contemplate if you have enough room to squeeze a whole drying rack between your coffeemaker and air fryer. 

    Promising review: "I bought this because I saw it on TikTok and I’m so glad I did! I hate having things on my counters that don’t belong. I have a dishwasher but I have some things (like most everyone) that aren’t dishwasher safe. I love that I can just roll this out and dry my dishes over the sink. The fact that air is able to get to all sides allows dishes like cups and bowls to actually get dry. Prior to this I was using a drying mat next to my sink, but I was always having to towel dry items that had been sitting out 'drying' for hours. Even my husband is impressed. He has told me multiple times it was such a good buy!" —Sheri

    Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in nine sizes and two colors).

    22. cord organizer for attaching to the back of appliances and keeping their wires neatly rolled up when not in use. BRB, buying one for every single kitchen gadget.

     Tidywrap is a small biz that specializes in these handy appliance cord organizers. 

    Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.95

    23. cabinet Lazy Susan to hold spices, condiments, or even things like vitamins and medication, so when you need to find one of those things, you can just give this a little spin, and voila!

    Promising review: "I keep buying these. They provide great help with organization. I try to add one to my cart every time I order anything else. These are great in my kitchen cabinets for different sauces and spices. I have one in my refrigerator for small condiments (capers, mustard, olives etc) I plan to add at least one more. I use these in my craft room for paints, ribbons, tapes, office supplies. I also plan to add more, in larger sizes too. So many uses. This spins smoothly, and doesn't rock or tip is weight isn't distributed evenly, especially in the fridge. These would make excellent wedding shower, baby shower, house warming gifts." —APPLE

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 17 colors/styles).

    24. silicone utensil rest with a drip pad so you can put cutlery and cooking tools down between stirring and flipping your food in the pan without worry of sauce and crumbs getting on the counter or floor.

    Gray version holding tongs and spatulas

    Promising review: "I bought this on impulse and I am glad I did. It does a great job of holding multiple utensils and keeping them from touching all while not taking up a great deal of space. The lip around the edge works well to keep any drips from getting on my counter and when I am done cooking I just throw it in the dishwasher. My counters are cleaner and less cluttered while cooking (I have limited counter space) and cleanup is a breeze. Before this I had a cute ceramic owl spoon rest which I loved the look of but was always afraid of breaking it, and it only held one utensil. Since this one is silicone I don’t have to worry about it chipping or breaking. It is also easy to stick it in a drawer until you need it. I would definitely recommend this product, without hesitation, to anyone." —A. Jessup

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 30 colors and 2 sizes). 

    25. A shelving unit that'll fit into the smol crevices between your fridge and counters (or other little areas in your kitchen) so you can make the most out of the room you have with some additional storage space.

    Amazon

    Psst — lots of reviewers use this for their bathrooms and laundry spaces, too!

    Promising review: "This is pretty fantastic. I had the exact amount of space needed to put this little pantry between my refrigerator and cabinets. It was easy to install and holds quite a lot of stuff. I put about 24 bottles of water and juice and some cereal and I still had space. Highly recommend it for small spaces." —SIMARA

    Get it from Amazon for $32.56

    26. cooktop cleaning kit because you're using this thing to make your meals, so naturally it's going to get dirty. Sometimes things fall out of the pot, sometimes things splatter from the pan, and sometimes burns happen because you're too busy dancing to the Jonas Brothers and forgot about your pasta...not speaking from personal experience!

    Promising review: "This product is amazing!!! I cannot believe what it took off our stovetop! We bought a house and the electric stove was left and I had tried everything to get it looking new and clean, EVERYTHING. I'd seen this on TikTok and figured I’d give it a shot and WOW am I glad I did. Hello new clean stove." —Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.98

    27. A set of reusable (machine-washable!!!) Swedish dish cloths that can replace up to 15 rolls of paper towels (yes, 15!!!), are great to use on most surfaces, and are 100% biodegradable. 

    Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and had to order them as I love products that reduce my carbon footprint! I am very impressed and recommend 100%!" —Emilia

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four color variations). 

    28. An outlet concealer kit because while you love all your appliances and gadgets, you don't love that their cords stick out like a sore thumb and ruin the aesthetic of the kitchen. Why can't everything just be WIRELESS?!  

    Promising review: "This electrical extender is wonderful. My kitchen has a really awkward outlet for the coffee pot. The outlet is close to the front of the counter, leaving a tangle of cords in front of the coffee maker and my electric kettle. I used the extender to move the outlets to the back of the counter. Now the counter is neat and untangled! I even have an extra place to plug in my phone charger!" —Margo

    Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in multiple lengths and outlet styles). 

    29. Peel-and-stick backsplash tiles that'll make those otherwise boring bits of wall (like the space between the counters and cabinets) really pop.

    Promising review: "I loved everything about it. I used this product in my kitchen. I like that they had a protective clear removable film on the front. It looks like real tile and you can feel the different layers of stone." —Danette Smith

    Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six styles).

    30. spice rack drawer organizer to make looking for your favorite seasonings super simple. Plus, this is an easy way to prevent messy clutter.

    Promising review: "This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." —Kerry
