    Just A List Of 20 Cheap, Incredibly Useful Target Products Homeowners Should Know About

    Handy household helpers under $20.

    1. A multi-use sponge and paste kit reviewers say can clean "just about anything." And that includes dirt, limescale, grease, food residue, and soap scum. Plus, the formula is biodegradable and non-toxic.

    2. A garbage disposal cleaner and deodorizer that'll do the job with basically zero effort on your part. No more weird smells emanating from your sink — just a fresh lemon scent. Delightful.

    3. A very convenient stamp-on gel disc to keep toilet rings, limescale build-up, and odors at bay with every flush. It'll save you so much scrubbing time.

    4. A Goo Gone spray for getting you out of any ~sticky~ situations. If you find yourself plagued by residue from tape, crayon, stickers, labels, gum, glue, grease, wax, or whatever else — this will remove it without damaging most surfaces.

    5. An indoor mechanical timer so you can program lamps, the A/C, or other small appliances to automatically turn on/off at certain times every day. It could help save you some money on utilities *and* doesn't require Wi-Fi to work.

    6. A carpet and upholstery cleaner that'll help you get rid of the most stubborn of stains. For example, the red wine you thought would be a good idea to sip on during an episode of American Horror Story. (Also note to self: white fluffy rug — only great idea in theory.)

    7. A handy wall repair tool to fix any nicks and nail holes. It's a putty knife, primer-enhanced spackle, and sanding pad all in one neat package. So go ahead and go for the gallery wall — you can always patch things back up if you change your mind.

    8. An over-the-sink dish drainer for tiny kitchens that lack counter space. It can be rolled up and put away when you don't need it.

    9. An overflow cover so you can enjoy a warmer, deeper bath with all your fave products without worrying about them literally going down the drain in minutes.

    10. A compact yet versatile ratcheting socket and screwdriving set that'll come in handy for all your home and car-improvement projects. No need to buy several separate tools because this one can do it all and will fit easily in your drawer.

    11. A can of WD-40 to properly lubricate the creaky old hinges on your basement door and the oven drawer that won't open properly. Soon you'll become one of those people who say, "Have you tried some WD-40 on that?"

    12. Colorful label tags for sorting out the mess of wires and cords behind your desk or TV. The end result will be so satisfying and you'll never have to wonder which cable is which.

    13. A pack of compression bags so you can maximize storage with limited closet space. You'll fit so much more stuff in with these, whether it's off-season clothing or extra bedding.

    14. An energy-efficient night light that'll automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn — and most importantly, stop you from tripping on the way to the bathroom in the middle of the night. (Bonus: wards off ghosts that live in the closet.)

    15. Felt pads to stick onto the legs of your gorgeous (but very heavy) dining chairs so they don't scratch up the wood floors.

    16. A washing machine cleaner because sometimes your washer needs washing — yep. These tablets will banish those mildewy smells and ensure your laundry loads come out super fresh.

    17. A stainless steel cleaner and polish so you can keep your appliances looking shiny and new, like when you first moved in.

    18. A fire extinguishing aerosol spray that'll be a lot less unwieldy than a traditional fire extinguisher, discharge four times longer than regular ones, and will put out most common household fires.

    19. Gorilla wood glue strong enough to repair broken picture frames, chipped cabinets, a souvenir from your S.O. that you accidentally dropped, etc. They'll never know...

    20. A pack of adhesive clips for holding your cables in place, if you get irrationally irritated when charging cords keep slipping off the nightstand. 😤 No more!
