    Just 38 Products To Help You Solve Your Homeowner Problems In The New Year

    Bring in 2024 with products that'll make your home a more functional, organized, and neater place to live.

    1. pet hair roller you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie. It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!

    Promising review: "This thing is magical and I wish I had found it sooner. Even the most stubborn of dog hairs that have been seemingly woven into the fabric of your couch are no match for the ChomChom. The satisfying click of the roller will have you ChomChom-ing every surface you possibly can, while your dog looks at you in cold betrayal for removing his precious fur deposits. He plots revenge against this new nemesis, revenge that is doomed to fail from the start, because the ChomChom is far too powerful. Meanwhile, you are transfixed by the serotonin rush filling your brain as your ChomChom fills with more and more hair, leaving a path of de-furred sofa in its wake. The dog barks in disapproval. You smile, finally sitting on fur-free furniture for the first time in a long time. Maybe you’ll even have friends over now." —Will

    2. garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and odor on sidewalls, blades, under the splashguard, and other hidden areas — smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so...disgusting.

    They come in pre-measured drop-in packets and are recommended to use about once a week!

    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 House

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78

    3. A pack of solar lights so you can see where you're headed when taking the trash out at night, walking Fido, or just hosting a little outdoor gathering.

    Promising review: "I purchased these to cover the side of my house. Installation was easy and I left them outside for two days to charge. The light coverage was about what I expected from them and do the job well. The motion sensitivity covers all the side and lights turn on. It has rained about three times and still work great and hoping they last for a long time." —J. Argueta

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $29.99.

    4. portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.

    Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

    Get it from Amazon for $117.95.

    5. carpet cleaning solution for those whose home deserves a million-dollar-looking floor...for under $20 that is.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that sells home cleaning products. This stuff both cleans AND deodorizes carpets. It can be used in pretty much all machines — Hoover, Bissell, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, Carpet Express. The solution works on all water-safe surfaces like carpets, rugs, furniture, and automobiles. Plus, it's biodegradable and nontoxic.

    Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents).

    6. Shelf dividers to help you better utilize the space in your closet. Rather than cluttering all your things together, use these babies to organize and manage your belongings.

    They're also great for bulky items like linens and towels! The dividers are 12 inches tall and can slide over any standard shelf up to 7/8 inches thick.

    Promising review: "I was a little doubtful about these being able to stand up straight but was pleasantly surprised. I'm using them in an old antique cabinet/wardrobe to separate stacks of clothes that would otherwise turn into a pile of clothes on a shelf. I would definitely buy again." —the booniepepper

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99

    7. drain snake so you can unclog your hair-filled drain by simply ~snaking~ this tool down there, letting it grab the hair, pulling it back up, and deciding whether you should marvel at its abilities or gag.

    Just stick it down your drain and it'll lift out all of that gunk — try not to be too grossed out when you see what's been hiding down there.

    Promising review: "When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly and oh-so-rewarding job." —Chocolate and Chips

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in orange or green).

    8. Or a TubShroom that'll collect your hair while in the shower/bath, so it doesn't go down the drain and clog it in the first place.

    Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and (as you can see from the picture) stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.

    Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (availble in five colors and in a two-pack). 

    9. A set of sheet keepers to well...help keep sheet sets and sheets of the same sizes bundled up nicely together. Not to mention, thanks to the labels stating the sizes, you won't have to fumble around with three different sheets of the same color just to find which one goes on your bed versus your kiddo's bed.

    Promising review: "Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!" —devonhansen1

    Get a set of two from Sheet Keeper on Amazon for $9.99 or Etsy for $11.99+ (available in sizes twin—California king, as well as in duvet and comforter labels).

    10. A bamboo burner cover perfect for anyone with a kitchen that's only really even considered a kitchen because it has a fridge and a stove. If you have ZERO room to prep anything, this little board will fit right over your stovetop and give you the prep table you've never had but always needed.

    BuzzFeed's Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease: "OK so I just bought this for my own tiny apartment (pictured above) and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there."

    Promising review: "This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." —Talyn Amber Skye

    Get a 20" by 20" cover from Amazon for $69.95 (available in smaller and larger sizes).

    11. A critter catcher tool because an unfortunate reality we all have to face is that bugs WILL find their way into our living spaces. And if the thought sends creepy crawlies up your spine, then you'll at least be happy to know this product exists. The long handle ensures you don't have to get too close to the tiny creature, and allows you to catch it without hurting it and then easily release it back into the wild where it belongs.

    Promising review: "This thing is awesome! Initially I was hesitant that it would squish the little guys or they would fall out in transport but it's great! Highly recommend! Sorry your GPS brought you into my house, little guy, I will help you find your way back outside :)" —Crystal R

    Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three styles).

    12. Houseplant insect traps that work like magnets to catch little buggers who dare to mess with your plant babies. You can easily pop them into the soil of your houseplants.

    Promising review: "Holy cow these suckers work! I'm so grossed out by the result, but at the same time, I have a sick sense of satisfaction. I used these in my house plants that are breeding fungus gnats like crazy. I used them in conjunction with beneficial nematodes, and they definitely cut down on the number of gnats in our house. I'm buying another package of sticky traps as soon as I finish this review!" —Megan

    Get a pack of seven traps from Amazon for $6.99.

    13. dryer vent cleaning kit because be honest, when's the last time you checked and cleaned out all the lint accumulating in your machine? Don't worry, we're not here to judge; we're just here recommending that you buy this kit so your dryer can run more efficiently. 

    Reviewer using the dryer vent cleaner

    This adapter is compatible with most vacuum cleaner pipes, so all you have to do is attach it to your vacuum and guide it around your dryer to suck up excess and hard-to-reach lint. Too much lint buildup not only slows down the drying process, it's also a fire hazard, so this handy device can actually be considered a safety tool!

    Promising review: "Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent!! This past summer, the lint trap broke on our dryer. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What a disaster. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock, as well as a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!" —Laurel Enoch

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).

    14. And a dryer vent brush designed to reach into the tough-to-reach crevices of your machine. Your dryer deserves a deep cleaning and this is what you need to really achieve that. 

    Promising review: "Great product, much bigger than what the pictures show. I never thought I could have so much lint stuck in the vent. It helps keep clothes smelling better and I’m sure is overall easier on the dryer with better air flow." —Andrew Portus

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99

    15. 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

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

    Promising review: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe

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

    16. cutlery drawer organizer to help consolidate all of your forks, knives, and spoons into one fabulous little space-saving tool.

    Promising review: "I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap it changed my life. So. Much. Room. There is so much room left in my drawer now that I moved stuff from another drawer and I have an entirely empty drawer in my kitchen now. Now only HALF the drawer is silverware and the other half is spatulas and cooking utensils. It is great. It also seems very sturdy. Highly recommend." —van31050

    Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

    17. An robot vacuum and mop so you can ditch vacuuming and mopping your own floors and sit back on the couch while you watch your robot BFF get busy.

    Promising review: "My Coredy R750 robot vacuum does an amazing job of cleaning all the flooring in my home. We call her Molly because anyone working in our home deserves to be known by their name. Molly cleans hardwood, porcelain tile, area rugs, and carpet better than my upright vacuum. The fact that she goes under most of our furniture and our beds is an added benefit. She learns the places she won’t fit under and will avoid them. When you add in the damp mop feature Molly truly takes over a big part of my weekly cleaning. Being able to start her whenever needed or to preset a cleaning time when we are not home is a great feature as well. I am always amazed at how much is vacuumed up each time that Molly cleans. I am so glad that my daughter recommended the Coredy R750 to me. You will not regret purchasing one." —Carolyn Gilger

    Get it from Amazon for $199.99.

    18. An air purifier to assist in reducing the level of allergens, bacteria, dust, odors, smoke, and pet dander in the air so you can breathe a sigh of (clean air) relief.

    Promising review: "I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes, two or three times daily, and general cleaning, I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits' end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished, no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! The room is 10×10, and I use it on the two setting. I also enjoy the night light. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." —victoria Mohagen

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors).

    19. Nonstick oven liners for catching things like crumbs and other food particles/residue, so all you have to do is clean these liners and not the oven itself.

    Amazon

    Promising review: "These liners are life-changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil, which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99.

    20. Reusable cloth towels prepared to tackle spills, messes, or anything else you'd typically use paper towels for minus all the paper waste.

    Marley's Monsters / Etsy

    Marley's Monsters is family-owned, based in Eugene, Oregon, and sells eco-friendly home goods!

    Promising review: "I’ve been using these for a few weeks now and I love them more and more. I’ve been very surprised by how much paper towels I’m saving. Even my kids are using them and they’re paper towel hogs — never could break them of that habit til now. A very good purchase — I’ll definitely be buying more." —cchapmanjr75

    Get a 24-pack from Marley's Monsters on Amazon for $62.91 (available in 18 styles) and Etsy for $64 (also available in a 12-pack).

    21. 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!

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

    Promising review: "Buy this. Life-changing magic. This shelf is absolutely magnificent. The top part of my stove is rounded and the spices constantly fell about and caused a ruckus. NO LONGER. So much room for spice activities. Do yourself the favor and purchase this." —DJ

    Get it from Amazon for $35.59 (available in three sizes and in three colors). 

    22. grout pen to get your floors shining like the top of the Chrysler building in no time at all. Did you hire a fancy schmancy service to clean your tiles? Nope, you used a PEN to cover it all up.

    Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving, and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I'm very happy with this product!" —Jenelle

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and a variety of colors).

    23. A universal remote attachment because you'd think by now, we wouldn't need numerous remotes to control access to streaming apps, switch between streaming and cable, controll the volume, etc. Now with this attachment, you really will only have to use one remote. Phew!

    An attachment on an Amazon Fire Stick remote

    It's compatible with Amazon Fire, Echo Voice, and IR remotes.

    Promising review: "This is a great little accessory for your Amazon remote. I was tired of always getting my TV controller out to change the volume or input or turn the TV on or off, but this little addition does it all and attaches right to the Fire TV remote." —TDS

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99.

    24. A double-ended extension cord to turn ONE outlet into THREE! Yup, triple the amount of available outlets for you and your loved ones to plug in your phone chargers, to juice up your own devices, or anything else you might need them for!

    Amazon

    Each cord is 6 feet long and has three available plugs.

    Promising review: "I have no idea why these are not sold everywhere. PERFECT for my room! I ended up getting this due to my king size bed being against a wall with only one outlet. I needed a way to connect my two lamps on my nightstand and this is absolutely, without a doubt, the very best solution to connecting my lamps and also not having all my outlets taken up. I recommend this to everyone! Also perfect for outlets connected to a switch to turn on and off both lights at the same time." —Ryan

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in black or white).

    25. rust stain remover spray that is basically fairy pixie dust in a bottle. That rust stain that's been living rent-free on your shower wall since you moved in? The one you always have to be sure to cover up with a shower curtain? Yeah, time to say goodbye to it for good.

    the same shower completely white with no rust

    It comes in an easy-to-use trigger spray and is ideal for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. Plus, it's non-abrasive, and made with non-hydrofluoric acid based formula which is safer than other similar liquid rust stain removers.

    Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —T-urtle

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50+ (available in three sizes).

    26. A SinkShroom to help prevent your bathroom/kitchen sinks from getting clogged with things like food, hair, or anything else that might end up down there and cause you the headache of having to unclog it.

    Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon

    BuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves hers: "I bought this for myself (since I'm clearly a REAL adult) and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom. My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer."

    Promising review: "I've gone through quite a number of sink strainers in my life and ALL of them have either broken or the little pop-up part won't stay in the up position...especially when there's a couple of pots in the sink that have been soaking. It doesn't seem like a big thing, but day after day, cleaning out the sink drain, trying to get the little bugger to stay in the 'up' position, wrapping rubber bands around that pop-up thingy, only to have them become really yucky from the stuff I'm attempting to keep from going down the drain and I'd about had it! Then I find this SinkShroom. It's been about two weeks and yes, it has CHANGED MY LIFE! I keep expecting a mini mess in the morning (my kids are usually up late at night, cooking and then cleaning their mess so it's usually full in the a.m.) and there's my SinkShroom... half filled with food pieces but EASY TO EMPTY!! No yucky wet mess. Just a simple flick into the garbage can. HALLELUJAH!" —Elizabeth B.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.42+ (also available as a two-pack, with a stopper, and with a hair catcher). 

    27. jetted bathtub cleaner — just fill up your luxurious bath, add a quarter of the bottle, and watch it work its magic by removing gross residue inside your tub's jets.

    Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic-safe! Only takes about 15 minutes to clean! 

    Promising review: "This product works! We stopped using our jetted tub because of all the nasty stuff coming out of the jets when we turned them on. Nothing seemed to work to clean them until I tried this. The first time I used it...oh my gosh...so much stuff came out. So the next day I did the same thing and it was an amazing difference. Since we had not used the jets in so long I gave it one last run. Now we can use our jets and have a wonderful bathing experience. It only takes a small amount so even after three times we have plenty left for many more cleanings. I will be using this on a regular basis to keep things nice and clean. Glad I finally found a good product!" —Cynthia Kachnic

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    28. An iFixit kit complete with 64 precision bits to solve all of your little tech repair needs. No need to panic rush to the nearest electronics store. 

    Promising review: "Seriously, I have been repairing small electronics for decades now, over 30 dang years, and I will say this is probably the best deal and collection you can get for simple to even complicated repairs. It has a crapload of bits, but essentially everything you will need as opposed to the next larger offering, though I am still considering getting that for my dungeon downstairs. I keep this upstairs literally in the kitchen since a lot of impromptu repairs occur at the dining room table, but I have not been let down. This is top notch/quality material and manufacturing. It not only feels comfortable but is very strong and bits do not let go of screws. It has a great deal of bits too, 64 in fact. It pretty much covers all the phone and laptop screws you will encounter and even has some socket ones too. Nice touch." —Riboild

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    29. Nest Learning Thermostat that'll literally learn your temperature patterns and control the thermostat in your house accordingly throughout the day and night. It'll help lower energy bills, so you're not using too much AC or heat at times when it's not needed.

    Promising review: "We have had our best thermostat for a little over a year now and I have to say we love it. I would give 10 stars if I could!!! The features are amazing. I like that. You can adjust the temperature when you’re not home plus it syncs with the weather and knows when to adjust the temperature. Plus it knows when you’re home or away and learns your routine. We keep it set to a temperature range where in the winter it won’t go below a set temperature and in the summer it won’t go above a set temperature. No more switching back and forth between heat and AC in our crazy Texas weather. Our electric bill is significantly lower. It takes a couple of weeks for it to learn your routine. We don’t ever even have to touch the thermostat." —geoff arvesen

    Get it from Amazon for $179 (available in seven colors).

    30. wine stain remover so you can sit back, relax, and ENJOY your red wine without having any fear whatsoever about what might happen if a spill occurs.

    It works on both fresh and dry stains, as well as coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine, and pet accidents, latex paint, graffiti, and grease.

    Promising review: "When you have anything white in your house and you have a love for red wine THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST! We had a dinner party of about 15 people in our house so I bought five bottles just in case. Someone spilled red wine on our brand-new white couch. I was so mad, but I used this stuff and it was GONE. It didn't just take most of the red wine out — the red wine was GONE! No trace of it at all! I will buy more!" —Alial

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    31. stainless steel polishing spray with a microfiber cloth that'll make your stainless-steel appliances look as if they were just delivered to you yesterday.

    Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products boasting cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents. 

    Comes with a microfiber cloth! This is good for use on stainless-steel refrigerators, stoves, sinks, dishwashers, microwaves, grills, and other appliances!

    Promising review: "The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good and price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now my stainless-steel appliances look shiny and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana,diana,diana

    32. power scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your living space look brand freakin' new.

    Useful Products is a small business based in New York — its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.  

    It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW, the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!  

    Promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before (even with using tough elbow grease and a standard bristle brush). No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot. Used the large flat circular brush for the door and walls, and the round toilet bowl type brush worked great in the corners and on fixtures." —Molly

    33. Or a power scrubber that makes quick work of dirty grout, soap scum, and other tough gunk in tighter, harder-to-reach nooks and crannies.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is a fan of this: "I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."

    34. toilet wand to prove wands of all sorts, even ones for cleaning toilets, are truly magical objects. Refer to disgusting photo below for evidence.

    Comes with one ToiletWand, one storage caddy, and six disposable ToiletWand refills to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Just click the wipe onto the wand, swish, scrub, and clean the bowl, pop the wipe off, and dispose in the trash.

    Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney

    35. microfiber spin mop so you can clean away dirt, grime, and whatever else is living on your floors with...get this...JUST WATER! Plus, the mop heads themselves are reusable for about three months and you can toss them in the washing machine to clean them!

    Promising review: "I am like, obsessed with this mop. It is just extremely well designed in almost every way. The handle is extendable but collapses pretty small, the mop head is removable and can be put in the wash, the mop head is triangle shaped so it fits in corners, the spin pump is easy to use and gets water out super efficiently. The only small thing is that the mop bucket doesn't have wheels. But it's so forgivable given everything else." —Rex

    Promising review: "I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." —Debbie

    Get it from Amazon for $149.

    37. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets so you can ensure your clothes are being washed in a machine that's shiny and clean.

    These are safe to use with front-load washing machines and top-load washing machines, and both high efficiency and conventional machines. Recommended to use once a month!

    Promising review: "I did notice my clothes smelling, let's say, not so fresh. Kinda funky. After reading the reviews, I purchased a box (which according to the box, lasts six months). OK, I'll try it. I've got a new washer with a button that says 'Clean Washer.' How easy can it get? The first load of clothes after using this product, I was an immediate fan. Wow! What a difference! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Love the side panel to check off the month you used it. Thank you!" —Two Fishes

    38. A bottle of Goo Gone adhesive remover for making sticky things get...unstuck. This stuff works FAST and I can personally attest. This stuff has taken gum that got stuck on my jacket and gunk from my laptop stickers off within SECONDS. And all I used with it was a microfiber cloth!

    Promising review: "I moved into a new apartment in September, and the kitchen was full of grease stains on the floor, floorboards, walls, and cabinets. They must have been there for a long time, since I was never able to get them up. I tried every type of cleaning solution, brush, sponge, wipe, you name it. The second I used this product on the stains they came up immediately. I didn't even have to put any elbow grease into it, I literally just wiped over it a few times and it was gone. I would leave more than 5 stars if I could." —alysonnnnn__
