1. A set of two collapsible sock (or underwear) drawer organizers to help you save space in your overflowing dresser by giving each article of clothing its own dedicated square.
Promising review: "Confession: I've done battle with an unruly sock drawer for many years. This has been a personal battle, one I don't discuss during fancy dinner parties or top-secret business meetings. Nevertheless, it has been a burden I've shouldered far too long. I ordered a pair of these organizers in hopes of quickly bringing this struggle to an end. The build is good and they hold my dress/athletic socks perfectly (side note: if your socks don't fit the slots, it's probably because of how you fold them). After thinning the sock herd, I only needed one of the organizers! I mean, seriously...do I really need more than 24 pairs of socks?? My wife liked them so much she 'borrowed' the other one to use as a jewelry organizer. " —RoosterCogburn

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 bag (good for four uses) from Amazon for $5.12.
3. 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
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
4. A few under-the-bed containers for storing clothes, blankets, towels, and whatever else is eating up all the space in your home. Simply pack it away in this sturdy and durable container and slide it under your bed or couch for easy access later.
Promising review: "I LOVE these drawers. I went through two other options of the flimsy drawers that just collapse when you have items in them and everything spills out. These have a sturdy bottom and sturdy sides and keep all contents inside under the bed and nothing falls over or spills out when sliding." —Brooke Pigott
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors and two styles).
5. 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.
6. An extendable baseboard cleaning tool and three reusable pads so you can finally get the dust and dirt that's been calling your trim and moldings home without having to crawl on your hands and (aching) knees. Its flexible head design swivels for optimal cleaning and can be used either wet or dry.
Promising review: "I have lived in my house for three years and have never cleaned my baseboards. We are a busy, active family and 'clean the baseboards' is never on the immediate list of things to be done…not to say that it doesn’t need to be done. I just don’t have time. Then I spotted the Baseboard Buddy. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. It showed up today and I put it together in about two minutes and took it for a test drive. I dusted my entire downstairs, above the doors and along the stair rails in about 15 minutes! I used it dry and it worked great. I’ll probably use a multipurpose cleaner with it next time. The head swivels, which is great. There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy." —Jennifer H.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
7. An over-the-cabinet-door hair tools organizer because the inside of your bathroom sink is not actually a shelf.
Promising review: "My styling tools have always just been thrown in a drawer and get so tangled! I purchased this to try to get them more organized, plus I was running out of room. This is great!! It fits right over my cabinet door so it barely takes up any room. Plus all my styling tools fit in there." —Kaylen
Get it from Amazon for $23.49 (available in six colors).

Promising review: "I'm obsessed with these hoodie hangers!! I have a really small closet, but I find these hangers are a great way to save space! They also make it super easy to throw your hoodie up in a rush or grab it on the go. I will definitely be buying more." —Sara
Get a five-pack from Venalli on Etsy for $18.86+ (available in three colors and in packs of 10).
9. A nontoxic pet urine stain removing spray to help you finally and fully reclaim your home from years-old dark spots on your couch, and the scent of cat pee emanating from your rug.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-run small business making everything you and your pet need to live a clean and fun life. From treats to toys, they've got what you need!
Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelly
Get it from Rocco & Roxie on Amazon for $19.97.
10. A two-tier under-the-sink organizer with a minimalist style that'll keep your cleaning supplies organized and out of sight.
Promising review: “I love this product! I bought two for our new bathroom vanity, one for my side and one for my husband’s side. Oh my goodness do they hold tons of items. And they are super easy to put together. I bought another one for under my kitchen sink as I have an RO tank there and not much room. It also works fabulously there. If you are looking for storage, buy this!” —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $15.39+ (available in two styles and two colors).
11. A set of four stackable bins with handles so you can easily see and grab whatever it is you need from the fridge.
Promising reviews: “I am so happy I bought these storage containers. They keep my vegetables fresh.” —Davina L.
"I have a side-by-side freezer and fridge, which means both sides are skinny. These clear containers have been extremely helpful to be able to stack small items like lunch meats and cheeses, produce, and single-serve hummus." —walkinggirl1234
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
12. A Weiman granite and stone cleaner whose disinfecting formula cleans, shines, and kills germs! Your countertops never looked so good.
13. A pack of microfiber cleaning cloths you can use to get a streakless clean!
Promising review: “I couldn't get my windows clean using Windex and newsprint and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today.” —Xena the Warrior Mama
Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $16.98.
14. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
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).
15. A pack of vacuum-seal bags perfect for storing all the warm weather clothes you have that would otherwise take up allllll the space in your closet.
Promising review: "I used to store seasonal clothing in plastic bins. No more! It’s amazing how much these bags compress. Really saves closet space. Plus, you can see what’s in them without opening multiple bins. I packed RV bedding (pillows/comforter) in one jumbo bag." —Mary
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four sizes and larger pack sizes).
16. A fume-free oven cleaner so powerful you might just convince yourself you replaced your oven altogether. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove grime, stains, and caked-on food in 30 seconds!
Promising review: "This stuff is awesome! My oven was setting off our (apartment) smoke detector every time I would preheat it, so I knew it was time to clean it. I have never cleaned an oven before, so I searched Pinterest for tips and I found this product. It works VERY well!" —Sadie
Get it from Amazon for $12.07.
17. An 18-inch over-the-door rack whose eight adjustable tiers are sure to help you organize your kitchen pantry or hall closet! You can even mount this accommodating organizer on the wall.
Promising review: "I love this door organizer!!! I used Command hooks (the ones with the metal hook but plastic back) to keep the organizer extra stable. I used the bottom shelf to store my plastic wrap, foil, wax paper, and more, so if you're not needing storage for these, you should be able to use all the shelves. This organizer has really helped alleviate my pantry clutter! I highly recommend this item!!!" —Super Momx2
Get it from Amazon for $48.66.
18. A hanging shoe organizer if you don't have the floor space to keep your shoes neatly arranged. It has 24 sections so you'll be able to hang several pairs of shoes, keeping them both easily accessible and smartly stored.
Promising review: “I hung this in the entryway coat closet, which had plenty of room. It's great! All the shoes are now organized instead of being in a pile on the closet floor. Two shoes fit in each slot so it's easy to keep pairs together. The fabric is strong and the frame is sturdy so this was a great buy!” —BD
Get it from Amazon for $22.97 (available in four colors).
19. A kitchen cart that can be used to store your coffee machine or microwave, utensils, and more. Wheel it over to the sink to use the countertop to chop freshly washed veggies and wheel it back over to the corner when you don't need it.
Promising review: “Great cart! I bought this to use as a coffee cart in the kitchen. The drawer holds filters and stirrers, the shelf accommodates large cans of coffee, and the cabinet holds enough sugar and creamer for an army. The hooks on the side even hold our favorite mugs. I couldn’t be happier with it!” —Pamela T.
Get it from Amazon for $94.99+ (available in two colors).
20. A set of three power scrubber brush attachments whose nylon bristles will clean your stained bathtub without leaving behind any scratches.
Founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, DrillBrush is a small business committed to making cleaning easier and less painful.
Promising reviews: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so I've been hand-scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. It cleaned in the corners, the floor, the glass door...everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry
Get it from DrillBrush on Amazon for $17.95+ (available in a variety of brush stiffnesses).
21. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner.

It can also be used to store belts, ties, or leggings.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying, because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem." —Nikolette
Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three colors).
23. A sliding two-tier countertop organizer if your kitchen's lack of cabinet space has meant spices, spoons, and spatulas have overwhelmed all the countertop space you have left.
Reviewers have also used it to organizer their pantries, and, like the reviewer below, as under-the-sink storage.
Promising review: “I love this product! I wanted to have my cleaning products more organized under the kitchen sink and this did the trick.

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.

Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably.
Promising review: "The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary Patterson

"I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

32. A grout and sealant stain remover because your tiles deserve to gleam against a clean background. Just apply it, wait, and rinse the stains away. You read that right, there's no scrubbing needed!
Promising review: “The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub. The cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I was scrolling through Facebook as you do and came across one of those BuzzFeed lists. I am a sucker for those lists. But this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it. Like today.” —KarynB

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

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

Promising review: We built in a new community and the construction dust is a constant battle. I've been using the Swiffer Duster on my blinds, but it just didn't seem to do that great of a job.

I also like that I'm not adding to the landfill when I use this product. —Chris K

42. A freestanding bike rack that can hold two bikes so they're not cluttering up your entryway.
Promising review: “This stand doesn't seem like it should work, but it does and it's amazing! Putting the stand together took just a couple of minutes. It literally just leans against my wall and takes up very little space on the ground. It's been so nice being able to get my bike up and out of the way. Also, I think it looks cool. Everyone is always surprised when they first see it and they have to go touch it to believe it's so sturdy. The way it's made the bike actually is pulled towards the wall, so there is absolutely no chance of the stand tipping over.” —Mrs. Fischer
