    28 Home Improvement Products You Should Buy Now That Winter’s Over

    Get your home and yard ready for the spring.

    1. Water- and shatter-proof outdoor lights because not only are they solar-powered, but they will turn your patio into a total dreamscape! That's right, no outlet needed.

    Promising review: "The lights are heavy-duty, obviously made to withstand weather, easy to install, and brighter than I expected (normally solar lights are dim). We couldn't be more pleased." —DocHodges

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two colors).

    2. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been plaguing your home this shedding season. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...

    Promising review: "I have a long-haired cat, and when spring hits, there is a ton of hair left on my rug and couch for a couple of months. I tried sticky strips, but they did not do a great job. I ordered this tool and was blown away by how great it worked. It not only picked up the hair and stored it, but it also kept on working until all the hair was gone off my couch. I love it, and I am very pleased with [how easy it is] to clean it up and throw the hair away. I give this a 5-star rating." —gcommon

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors).

    3. A hot tub cleaner scientifically engineered to remove all the gunk hiding in the plumbing. So all the dirt, grime, oil, and sweat will go bye-bye in exchange for improved water clarity and filtration.

    Promising review: "Our hot tub was so much grosser than I could have imagined. The amount of ick that this stuff got out of the jets was surprising. Honestly so embarrassing. I drained and cleaned the tub a few months ago but did not think of getting this jet cleaner. I will not make that mistake again. The hot tub smells so so clean now. I will definitely use this again next time I drain the tub." —Kaerlia

    Get it from Amazon for $18.36.

    4. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner — it's time for spring cleaning but you still don't wanna scrub your shower clean. And with this, you won't have to. Just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!

    after image of the same shower completely clean

    Promising review: "I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet and Forget Shower Spray, really coated the shower walls and floor pan, and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes and scents).

    5. Some restorative wipes whose technologically advanced formula restores and protects your faded, oxidized, sun-damaged, and water-stained possessions. If your front door has seen water and salt damage this past winter, these wipes are for you. They can also be used on tires, patio furniture, and more!

    Promising reviews: "I used this on a 15+-year-old patio table whose paint was fading. It brought it back to life, and I only had to use one sheet." —O. Diaz 

    "This stuff restores just about anything! So far, it seems to last. One little wipe can do all the plastic on an SUV and probably more. Used it on household stuff and yard stuff, too. Plan to always have this on hand!" —Vanessa H

    Get five wipes from Amazon for $13.05.

    6. And a bottle of Feed-N-Wax wood polish because this will not only enhance your floor's and furniture's shine but will also layer them with a protective coating of carnauba wax and beeswax, so there's less polishing for you to do in the future. This will be especially useful if the winter air really dried out the wood in your home.

    Promising reviews: "I use it once a year on my inside doors and cabinet doors and window frames and sills and it looks good all year long! It is my spring cleaning routine. Takes me several weeks to finish, but once you start you can't stop because it makes such a difference!" —Pat Sikorski

    "I LOVED using this in my kitchen. It made my cabinets look like they were recently redone. I didn't do anything extra; I just wiped my cabinets with my normal cleaner and then used this and like magic my kitchen was brand new. I also used it on some shelving, banisters, and my hutch and they all looked amazing. And the hutch wasn't as annoying to dust for a while." —tiffany b

    It even comes with five spray tips to help you attack light to heavy-duty cleaning tasks.

    Promising review: "Time for spring cleaning, and I wanted a pressure washer that I could crank easily. Searched online and saw this is electric and corded with a GFCI connection and has a turn knob ignition. No more pulling or cranking the dreaded string over and over, trying to start it. Bought this after seeing mostly 5 stars and reading through Amazon comments about how great it works compared to competitor's other name-brand green pressure washers. I tested it on the patio and erosion wall, and it works great!!!" —Cheri Bradley

    Get it from Amazon for $129.

    8. A glossy white enamel paint to refurbish your old and dingy appliances. This paint dries in up to nine hours and offers a hard enamel finish that looks super shiny!

    Promising review: "All the varieties grew, and I was very impressed by how they stayed nice and neat when planted in a row. I used them to edge one side of my garden. Several strong storms came through this summer and didn't break even one! They drew all types of pollinators: bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds." —Taryn Fellinger

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    10. A lawn repair formula because either your peeing pup or the lack of winter sun has turned your backyard into a barren wasteland. Its special salt neutralizer formula repairs any damage done so you can proudly host the next barbecue.

    Promising review: "We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. This seed works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off, though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!" —Jessica N.

    Get it from Amazon for $16.44+ (available in five sizes).

    Promising review: "Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers' couches, and [there's a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the 'looking like brand new,' but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn't believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed." —edina bajraktarevic

    "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it.

    Promising review: "I have been using this for a few days now, and so far so good. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment with my husband and 3-year-old son, and we have odors and debris coming from our neighbors and back alley (i.e., smoke, barbecue charcoal, dust, etc.). We asked our pediatrician about the cough my son seems to have most of the year, and she said this could be due to the outdoor debris/smell and/or the dust and dander that comes from his bed sheets, blankets, pillows, etc. So I did some spring cleaning and cleaned our bedroom curtains, washed all sheets, pillows, etc., and kept this thing on during the day for a few hours (on speed three) and through the night (speed one) the last few days, and he has not coughed since." —baddie.xo

    Promising review: "I love this. They're absolutely perfect for touchin' up the little spots that need touchin' up.

Popped it into my hot tub and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better, but smells better too! Highly recommended!" —Mickey D.

    Promising review: "After one year of having an in-ground pool in Florida, the water was cloudy. I tried to get the water clean by running the filter 24/7 and brushing daily for a week to no avail. I used 1 1/2 ounces of this and the water was clear a day later.

    Promising review: "I'm so happy I got this meter. It works great and is easy to use. I wish I had bought this a long time ago. Living in the Arizona desert, I tend to overwater some of my pots in the summer, eventually killing some plants. With this meter, I can check all my potted plants and get an accurate reading of moisture and the nutrients that are needed. I love it!!" —Grandma Susi

    Get it from Amazon for $13.58.

    Promising review: "Got an outdoor can, the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid, near the hinge, to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying and no flies/maggots! No apparent odor. Just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)." —Michael E. Bradley
