1. A stationary vacuum that'll hopefully encourage your messy roommate to sweep up since they won't have to grab a dustpan or carry messes all the way to the garbage bin. It's touchless and doesn't require bags.
Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $109+ (available in six colors).
2. A weekly shower spray if you don't want to spend a long time scrubbing your shower because your kiddo used a bath bomb to draw all over your tile (again). All you have to do is spray, go to bed, and wash it off in the morning. This cleaner is bleach-free and prevents soap scum buildup when used regularly.
3. A robotic vacuum so you won't have to follow your messy roomie around with a vacuum. This device can be controlled from the comfort of your couch with a remote. It'll also charge itself!
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robotic vacuum for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Teach3
Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two colors).
4. Or a robotic mop because you won't have to carry a heavy bucket around your home when your dog tracks mud all over your tile floor. You'll never have to worry about a dirty mop again because this uses "smart mapping" to clean up messes for you.
Promising review: "I was a little price leery on this but I've just been struggling to mop as much as I need to. I have three cats and I already have a regular vacuum robot that is amazing, but the idea of a mopping robot seemed different, like it wouldn't be helpful. Then after falling behind on cleaning we finally decided to splurge and buy one and omg — it's amazing. I should have given in a long time ago. My floors are so much cleaner and I have the reusable pads and when I clean them I see just how much dirt this little mop robot is helping me clean." —Christina H.
Get it from Amazon for $349.99.
5. A bag of fizzy toilet cleaners that work like bath bombs for your toilet. These are so easy to use, you might be able to pass your least fave chore on to your messy roommate. All they'll have to do is pop one of these in, let it fizz, brush, and flush. The fizzing action will deodorize and clean your bowl.
Blue Poppy Bath is a small biz based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin that sells homemade bath and body products.
Promising review: "Made my toilet fresh and sparkling clean with just ONE bomb. I ordered the lemon as well as the eucalyptus. I loved both scents!! I will be ordering again!" —Lori.
Get a bag of 10 from Blue Poppy Bath on Etsy for $9.50 (available in six scents).
6. Or a Lysol click-on automatic toilet bowl cleaner because it sticks to the inside of your bowl and it will deodorize, remove stains, and freshen your toilet with every flush. So, when your roomie actually remembers to flush, they'll be cleaning the bowl without even realizing it. The best part? You can apply these without touching your toilet and you'll be able to go longer in between cleanings.
Promising review: "This is a nifty design. Easy to use and press on without being a mess using the one-piece design. Beautiful scent. It really does release a pleasant scent each time without being overwhelming." —outlander22
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $4.58.
7. Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads if you live with someone who is always spilling something on your carpet. All you'll have to do is place one of these pads over a stain, stomp on it, and the stain will be removed. There's no need to whip out a bunch of cleaning supplies.
The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved! Everything you need is on the pad already.
Promising review: "I never ever write reviews for anything, but I just had to write one for these. We have two dogs and one of them will get sick or have an accident in the house a few times a month. I've used all kinds of carpet cleaner as well as the SpotBot, but they never seemed to really get the stains out. I bought these on a whim because I was desperate to find something that might work and guess what? THEY WORKED! No joke, every stain I have put these on has come out of the carpet. I have told everyone I know about these and have heard great things from them as well. If you are on the fence, just give them a try!" —Angela Mimm
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.49.
8. A set of oven liners to help with messes your "cook" makes but totally ignores. This will catch any drippings from their famous casserole that bubbles over. You won't have to scrub the oven after spills. And they're reusable and easy to clean — just pop them in the dishwasher!
Promising review: "I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning oven and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" —Vicky
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.
9. And a pack of stove burner covers because they will catch all the messy splatters your ~at-home chef~ doesn't seem to notice after they've thrown down in the kitchen. You can just throw these out and replace them when they're dirty.
Promising review: "One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" —Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $10.99+ (also available in a 100-pack and for electric burners).
10. A self-cleaning litter box if you love your cat but not the messes they leave behind. It's basically like a magic cat toilet that flushes and cleans itself. Now you can be just as carefree and spoiled as your cat since you won't have to constantly clean their litter box.
This litter box is anything but ordinary — it doesn't require litter! It uses septic-safe washable granules that you never have to change. When your cat goes, the liquids drain through the nonabsorbing granules and The Cat Genie scoops and liquefies the solids.
Promising review: "Works like a charm. Forget scooping litter ever again! This thing is amazing. You never have to change out the granules, just refill when they get low. I take mine apart and give it a good deep clean twice a year, but that's really all the maintenance it requires. I highly recommend!" —Kristen I.
Get it from Amazon for $379.
11. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you don't have to freak out every time your little artist draws on the walls or on furniture. This magic cleaner can also be used all over the house to remove stains, grime, and grease.
Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness; legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà — magic!" —May
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in three sizes).
12. A mess-free toothpaste cap if you're tired of everyone in your household leaving toothpaste all over your sink or buildup all over the tube. This cap is self-sealing and dispenses the right amount of paste every time.
Promising review: "I found a miracle product! After lesson after lesson on how to use toothpaste failed, I went online for help! The photo (above) is after two days (with old tube for reference). This cap really works! No longer will I be cleaning toothpaste from every surface! No longer will I stare at the ceiling wondering how toothpaste got there. Goodbye golfball-sized globs, hello slightly cleaner sink!" —Christina
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
13. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers to encourage your fam to keep cereal and chips sealed shut so they'll stay fresh and won't topple over and spill crumbs everywhere. These clear containers will also make it way easier for them to find what they're looking for so they won't have to pull everything out of the pantry.
Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problem." —R M
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in three colors).
14. A set of grocery organizers if your fridge is a mess and no one puts things in there rightful place. With these clear bins, your fridge will be more orderly and have sections to hopefully encourage your disorganized roommates to put things where they belong.
Promising review: "These are so helpful if your fridge is cluttered. I bought these for my mom who is an extremely cluttered person. I love her to death, but she is not an organized person. Her fridge used to look wild. There would be food piled on top of food, and small jars and containers EVERYWHERE. I bought her these to help her organize everything. Now she can see what she has and everything has a place. Thank you for making something like this to help those that are so cluttered." —MioRioZio
Get a set of six from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in five colors in a 12-pack).
15. And customizable refrigerator labels so you can remind everyone where to put stuff (because they always seem to forget). There will be less chaos in your fridge and now you won't need a search party to find something.

Get it from October Sky Design Co on Etsy for $1.90+ (available in multiple sizes, colors, and fonts).
16. A pan organizer because it'll give your sous chef a subtle hint to stack pans neatly instead of leaving them on the stove or in random places around the kitchen.
Promising review: "I bought this rack to organize my pans in the cupboard but ended up keeping it on the counter because it looks so nice! Having the pans on the counter is extremely convenient and this rack keeps them neat. It is very sturdy. Actually you dont really see it. I am so pleased with it." —Joann Tenney
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven colors and a silicone-coated version and two sizes).
17. A Sheet Keeper, an elastic band labeled with sheet sizes to prevent anyone from unraveling your perfectly folded sheets when they're looking for the right size.

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 two from Sheet Keeper on Etsy for $15.99 (available in six sizes including comforters and duvets).
18. A flexible silicone kitchen sink organizer because I can't be the only one that gets super annoyed when *someone* leaves soap and water on the counter. This prevents a soapy mess and keeps your dish soap and sponge organized. It's also great to use in the bathroom for hand soap.
Promising review: "My wife and I both like to keep the kitchen counter clean and clutter-free. Unfortunately, you need a convenient spot for those extra 'crucial' items that you frequently use like a scrubber, drain plug, hand soap, etc. One night she handed me her phone and told me she bought this item for our counter. I thought it would be a flimsy piece of crap. But it’s not flimsy. More like pliable and sturdy. It works great, blends in with the counter, and cleans up nice. My wife was right...again." —AbiNormal
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four colors).
19. A pack of shelf dividers if you share a closet with someone who has trouble keeping things neat. These dividers will create sections for hard-to-fold clothing like T-shirts and underwear. And they'll prevent items from toppling over.
Promising review: "These work great! They work so well I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I'm pretty organized with my T-shirts." —Pathfndr
Get a set of two from Amazon for $15.04+ (available in two styles).
20. An odor- and stain-eliminating spray to help clean up messes your four-legged BFF leaves behind. This spray contains natural enzymes that are activated on contact with odors and stains. It basically feeds on ammonia crystals and organic matter to eliminate urine, feces, vomit, and more. It sounds gross, but it's practically magic.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "I love EVERYTHING about this. Like every other reviewer, we've tried every other option we could find to get rid of urine stench and stains. Ours were from an elderly dog who couldn't make it through the night sometimes. Long story short, we have YEARS of urine stains that, after being 'cleaned,' continued to reappear. Now every single recurring stain on our carpet is GONE! Not a single one has returned. I don't have sufficient words for how truly thankful we are for this product. It's like NOTHING else. And the cherry on top is the wonderful scent when you first apply it and NO scent once it's done its job. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for these amazing products." —Anita McCarty
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

21. And a ChomChom pet hair remover because although you totally love being a pet parent to your paw-fect baby, you simply don't want to drown in their fur. Just roll this over your couch, bed, or your car to lift fur away. The best part? Unlike lint brushes, it's reusable.
Promising review: "This thing is aahhhh-mazing! I’ve had several kinds of cat hair removers — adhesive strips, sticky rollers, rubber nubby gloves. Nothing else works as well and as quickly. Easy to clean out, too. I bought one handheld and a bigger one on a long handle for carpet and area rugs. Love them! They even clean the hair off the stupid red velvet drapes that came with the house when we bought it." —M. Bauer
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
22. A pack of sweeper slippers that you can probably convince your entire fam to wear around the house under the guise of keeping their feet warm. Aside from keeping their toes toasty, these slippers will pick up dirt, hair, and dust so you don't have to clean up behind them as often.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my feet...hardly notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wish in Tide and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" —Tim S.
Get five pairs from Amazon for $12.99.
23. A rolling laundry sorter because it'll encourage your household to sort dirty clothes so laundry day will be way more manageable. These come blank so you can use a stencil and a permanent marker to label each bag by the type of clothing (whites, delicates, etc.) — or you could even separate them by family member.
Promising review: "It's exactly what I was looking for. We’re a family of five so I always have something to wash and I was tired of separating by colors. Now it's easy and everybody can do it. It's a simple process for everyone, now my kids think that is fun to be separating the clothes and I’m fine with that, ha. I used stencil and a Sharpie to tag the bags — so easy and l loved the results! Took me 20 minutes to assemble with my 9-year-old son. Looks nice and the bags have a good quality and also they have a great capacity. It’s make laundry so easy!!!!" —Lourdes
Get it from Amazon for $39.97 (available in five colors).
24. A compact cutlery drawer organizer to declutter your unruly utensils. This space-saving organizer is sleek and will give everyone the *subtle* hint where to put everything, making sure all of your spoons, forks, and knives stay put.
Promising review: "I was stunned at how much space this cleared in our constantly cluttered silverware drawer! It took a little getting used to since you don't see the tops of the cutlery. This saved us so much space and I plan to get a couple more for the other drawers!" —PassionBuzz
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
25. A lazy Susan turntable so they won't have to knock things over when they reach in to find something — they can just spin to get what they want. And it's perfect for small spaces.
