    You’ll Wanna Check Right Now To Make Sure You Have These 31 Home Essentials

    If you don't have multi-use cleaning cloths, airtight food containers, or an air purifier, we can change that right now.

    1. An over-the-door laundry bag for easy hamper access that doesn't take up floor space. And that means fewer of your dirty ensembles end up on chairs so you can actually use them for sitting.

    2. 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.

    3. A pack of 12 super absorbent coral velvet dishcloths to cut down on dish-drying time so you can do something you actually enjoy. These can also be used for dusting, cleaning windows, and even as a cheese strainer!

    4. A eucalyptus and mint room freshener that'll help give your entire home — from your bathroom to your pillows — the refreshing spa-like feel you deserve.

    5. A stainless-steel kitchen sink organizer so you never lose your sponge at the bottom of the sink under a stack of dirty dishes...that you can't clean...because your sponge is...well, you get it.

    6. A three-pack of Grandma's Secret Spot Remover for easy and nontoxic stain removal. There's really no other choice. Simply apply a drop and wait for the magic to happen. No grass, blood, coffee, rust, or ink stains on your white couch shall prosper!

    7. An ultrasonic cool mist humidifier whose 360-degree nozzles will make sure that every inch of your space maintains a humidity between 40%–60%, because you don't have to surrender to heat, dry throat, and sinus discomfort.

    8. A set of four eco-friendly dryer balls made of 100% New Zealand wool to replace toxic dryer sheets and fabric softeners. They'll also help make sure your sheets don't get all wadded up into a moist ball. Save on drying time while also helping to save the planet.

    9. A set of versatile, space-saving non-slip hangers that can be used to hang pants, dresses, shirts and hoodies. These durable hangers won't buckle under the weight of your favorite dungarees. What more could you ask for?

    10. A bottle of Poo-Pourri toilet spray so when you do your business, it stays *your* business. Just spray into the bowl a few times before you poo, and leave the bathroom smelling like a spa since Poo-Pourri is actually made of essential oils!

    11. A compact air purifier to help get rid of any smoke, odors, dust, mites, allergens, or mold hanging around in your air.

    12. A pack of two adjustable under-the-bed organizers for storing anything that refuses to fit in your overstuffed closet. And you'll be able to keep everything organized with their adjustable dividers.

    13. A kitchen sink drain cover with a stainless-steel rim and invertible silicone strainer because it is possible to avoid clogging your drain with leftover bits of food cleaned off pots and plates.

    14. A set of drawer organizers that'll help keep your socks, bras, scarves, and more from overflowing and taking over your bedroom floor.

    15. Two packs of streak-free stainless steel wipes so your appliances always look as sleek as they did the day you bought them. These will remove residue, water marks, and grease while leaving behind a protective barrier to prevent smudges that'll keep your stainless steel stain-free!

    16. A natural lemongrass-scented panty detergent designed to remove discharge stains so your undies look and feel good as new! Its formula is anti-bacterial, anti-yeast, and anti-mold, so you don't have to worry about any ickies getting back to you.

    17. A windproof rechargeable lighter for all your candle, grill, and joint lighting needs. It has a flexible neck so you don't have to contort your arm into strange shapes to get faraway wicks lit.

    18. A nontoxic leather conditioner that'll restore your leather throne to its former glory. Just spread a thin and even layer of conditioner to reveal rejuvenated (and water-repellant) furniture.

    Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need a small amount per use!" —David H.

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

    19. A pack of vacuum-seal bags to tidily store any bulky comforters, clothes, and coats as the seasons change. Why overwhelm your closet? It's going through enough as it is.

    20. A pack of two retractable razors so you can stop ruining the foil cutter on your wine opener by using it to open boxes...or is that just me? You'll also get a pouch full of replacement razors. Boxes, stubborn plastics, and thick ropes/twine don't stand a chance!

    21. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers because you've got six open boxes of rotini taking up way too much space in your pantry. Trust me, there's an easier (and more streamlined) way.

    22. A beeswax furniture polish and conditioner made with olive oil and your choice of essential oil that's sure to give your wood pieces a natural shine.

    23. A pack of reusable stainless-steel straws so your desire to be eco-friendly isn't sabotaged by paper straws that'll just dissolve in your homemade iced coffee.

    24. A pack of absorbent and multipurpose microfiber cloths you can use to clean pretty much anything from electronics to glass surfaces! And it'll always leave you with a much-coveted streak-free finish.

    28. An ergonomically designed 12-in-1 screwdriver so you're always ready to construct new furniture, tighten the nails on your door hinges and cabinet knobs, and anything else that might come up around the house!

    31. 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.
