    36 "Boring" Products That Actually Deliver Exciting Results

    These before-and-after photos have got my heart racing.

    1. A non-toxic ink remover that'll hold its own against permanent markers.

    2. A hanger stacker so you can keep all the hangers neat, untangled, and ready-to-use for the next laundry day.

    3. A microplane foot file to polish away layers of dead skin. It works disgustingly well.

    4. Downy Wrinkle Release spray for people who don't have time to iron their clothes in the morning (or...for people who just don't own an ironing board).

    5. Anti-dandruff shampoo formulated with wheat protein and wheat germ oil that'll help control flaking, scaling, and itching. These before-and-after photos speak for themselves!

    6. A tea bag organizer so you can declutter your cabinets and get rid of those half-empty boxes.

    7. A pack of spice liners to control the chaos in your kitchen drawers.

    8. A bottle of fume-free cleaner for giving your oven a thorough wipe down. Haven't cleaned your oven in over half a decade? After this, no one will be able to tell.

    9. A plastic storage container that'll make your fresh produce last a lot longer.

    10. A hanging jewelry organizer so all your accessories are untangled, visible, and ready to wear. It's perfect for anyone who doesn't have enough room for an armoire or jewelry box.

    11. A cleaning kit to transform your stained cooktop into a flawless mirror.

    12. A pack of cleaning tablets for removing the lime and mineral build-up (as well any food residue) in your dishwasher, leaving it clean and odor-free.

    13. A jewelry cleaning solution that'll leave your precious stones sparkling in no time.

    14. A drain millipede so you don't have to call the plumber for the third time this year.

    15. A cable box to tame those unruly cords and cables under your desk.

    16. A bottle of Barkeeper's Friend soft cleanser for tackling anything from rusty knives to grease-marked pans to stained porcelain sinks.

    17. A pack of thin velvet hangers that'll save you so much closet space. Plus, they're grippy so slippery tops won't fall off.

    18. A tire spray so people will think you got new wheels (but in fact, you just cleaned them for the first time in...a while).

    19. A wood polish and conditioner made of beeswax and orange oil to completely transform your old cabinets and tables. Water marks, begone!

    20. A spray gel for melting away rust stains right before your eyes. Watching it work its magic is almost as satisfying as the final result.

    21. A handheld milk frother that probably attended barista school because it'll help you whip up a cappuccino that looks and tastes incredibly ~profesh~.

    22. A set of clear plastic bins so you can finally organize your bathroom drawers and find the lipstick you want in the morning without digging for half an hour.

    23. Ice molds to make perfectly round spheres for your glass of whiskey. Not only will they look satisfying, but they'll also melt slower than regular ice cubes.

    24. All-natural bottle cleaning tablets for dissolving decade-old coffee stains in your (supposedly) stainless steel thermos. The best part? No scrubbing required!

    25. Pimple patches that'll work overnight to extract the gunk out of your zits while you sleep. They're truly a dream come true.

    26. A cleaning kit so you can clean the dirt off your favorite shoes and squeeze a few more years of use out of them.

    27. A carpet cleaner potent enough to destroy all evidence of a ketchup crime scene. It'll also work on upholstery like car seat covers.

    28. An all-natural universal conditioner for breathing new life into leather shoes, bags, jackets, and more.

    29. A disposable cleaning wand that even the grossest toilet won't stand a chance against.

    30. A two-stage knife sharpener so you can restore dull blades to a razor sharp state. And when you're done, it'll fit nicely in the drawers.

    31. A scratch remover to buff out surface blemishes on your car and possibly save you a trip to the auto body shop.

    32. Heavy-duty cleaning wipes for removing stains and splatters in any part of the house, from the kitchen to the garage.

    33. A concentrated mold and mildew remover that'll work on grout, showerheads, or even ceilings with little to no effort on your part.

    34. A wine stain remover, because you shouldn't feel anxious about sipping on some Merlot while cuddling with your fave throw blanket.

    35. A mini bottle of touch-up paint to cover up any chips, stains, or scratches on your walls and furniture.

    36. An electric fabric shaver for rescuing five-year-old sweaters that still spark joy but are starting to look a little worse for wear.
