1. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising reviews: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup and my glass is clear again and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden
“I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman

2. A garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS
Get a box (good for four uses) from Amazon for $8.
3. A powerful lemon-scented shower door cleaner to get rid of soap scum and hard water stains, because right now your shower door looks like a surrealist painting in a horror movie. Get the sparkling shine you deserve!
Promising review: "Holy cow I've been trying to get my clear glass shower doors clean using other products and to no avail. This product is AMAZING! Worth every penny! You will not be sorry you bought this. After using this product to get the doors sparkling clean I also used the Rain-X Shower Door Repellent to keep water stains from building up again so that it doesn't have to be cleaned as often. Buy them both. You won't be sorry." —Melanie Barka
Get it from Amazon for $11.65.
4. A pack of two ready-to-use fruit fly traps for luring and killing the fruit flies trying to take over your home. And each trap lasts for up to 45 days!
5. A nontoxic pet odor and stain remover so you can finally and fully reclaim your home from years old dark spots on your couch and the scent of cat pee emanating from your rug.
6. Or a pack of stain removal pads — you can get rid of those pesky pet stains by simply setting a pad down and stepping on it. No scrubbing needed! They'll lift away even the most set-in stains!
Promising review: “These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward.” —Lisa Koivu
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.49.

Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis

13. A set of bedsheet detanglers so you don't have to spend hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hair ball.
Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn't in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets — which you may recognize from Shark Tank!
Promising review: "I was mildly skeptical, but it works exactly as promoted! I've used it five times and each time there's been no twisting of the sheets and no pillowcases balled up and still wet when the dryer goes off. Super helpful that it comes with two units, one for the top sheet and one for the fitted sheet, so I don't have to split them into separate loads. I no longer dread washing sheets and plan to buy some of these as gifts. LOVE it!" —Amazon Customer
14. A plant-based stainless steel cleaning kit made with lavender essential oil that's safe to use on all of your stainless steel appliances and will also leave behind a protective barrier to help resist smudges and fingerprints, so you don't have to clean as often.
Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz whose cleaning products blend safe-to-use plant-based ingredients with aromatherapeutic scents!
Promising review: “I am a sloppy person by nature, so God only knows why I decided to get stainless steel appliances that are constantly riddled with my greasy finger prints. Once I saw that this kit came with a microfiber cloth, I added it to my cart and checked out without delay. Fast-forward to its arrival at my house. I took it out of the box, directed a few sprays at my fridge, and used the microfiber cloth to wipe with the grain of the stainless steel. My fridge was SHINING! GLOWING! I couldn't believe how good it looked. This cleaner works so well that it some how repels my finger prints and I'm not spraying down my doors every time I touch them.” —Jessica Groves
Get it from Therapy Clean on Amazon for $19.95.
15. A pack of felt furniture pads to protect your hardwood floor from scratches and scuff marks. Feel free to rearrange your living room to your heart's content without worrying about your furniture blemishing the floor.

Promising review: "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
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
18. A garbage guard if you've ever opened your trash can and been welcomed by a host of pests. These not only kill insects but also prevent future infestations. And don't worry, it's completely odorless (though I can't say that about your trash).
19. A pair of reusable mop pads so you don't have to keep buying dozens of single-use Swiffer pads. Made using extra-thick microfibers, these mop pads are super absorbent!
20. A portable ceramic space heater whose three levels of intensity will keep you warm if your radiators are a little lackluster on the heating-your-home front.
21. A food container lid organizer because not only will it help you save space, but it'll also help you save time searching for the right top to cover your veggie lasagna.
22. A natural, pet-odor-eliminating soy candle to fill your home with soft and soothing scents. Instead of, you know, kitty litter and wet pup.
23. A rubber broom so you can keep your carpet free from your purrfect pet's fur. It's also great for mopping up liquid spills and squeegee-cleaning your windows!
Promising review: "I bought this broom two years ago and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." —Roseann

24. Elegantly frosted privacy film for your windows if your neighbors have waaaay too much access to what you do in your home.

26. A surge protector with six pivoting heads because you shouldn't have to choose between keeping your laptop, phone, Echo, electric toothbrush (why is that in your living room BTW?), or cordless vacuum alive. That's just inhumane.
27. A Wi-Fi extender so you can boost internet range throughout your home because you should be able to scroll for memes in every single room of your house, not just where the router is. It has a smart indicator light to help make sure you're installing it in the best location.
28. An insulated weather- and soundproof strip you can install on your windows and doors to keep cold air where it's supposed to be — outside!
29. And a pack of two door draft stoppers with adhesive strips that make for easy install. No more losing precious warm air when you turn your heater on!
30. A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners because there's likely a bunch of trapped lint causing your clothes to still come out kinda damp. Use this to get all that gunk out, which will also help to prevent dryer fires!
31. A multi-fabric cleaner if your couch, mattress, and carpet look incredibly, uhhhh, lived on. This formula will remove stains caused by makeup, food, coffee, wine, and more.

Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two scents).
38. Or a fast-acting mold and mildew remover for everywhere else — all you have to do is spray and watch as stains melt away. No scrubbing required here either!
39. A flexible drain snake that'll descend into the pits of your drain and pull out the monstrous blobs of hair and gunk that have turned too many showers into swamps.
40. And, of course, a stainless-steel TubShroom because no one wants to have to pull a glob of hair out of their drain that's so big it looks like a catatonic possum.
