1. A pack of K-Cup cleaners you simply put in your coffee machine to help get rid of any leftover residue and old coffee grounds that might spoil that first cup of coffee in the morning. Using one of these bad boys makes cleaning so much easier and can increase the lifespan of your morning bestie (aka your Keurig).
Promising review:"Quick and easy way to clean my Keurig. I'm not a fan of cleaning, period, so when I saw these pods, I thought, what the heck, what do I have to lose, they're pretty inexpensive, so I gave them a go. Judging from the pod holder, they did a pretty darn good job in just a few minutes. I'll be using one of these periodically from now on to keep my Keurig clean. Very happy with the product and it couldn't be easier to use." — Amazon Customer

2. A Glisten garbage disposal cleaner capable of turning your food graveyard into a lemon-scented haven. I think we all can collectively agree that shoving our hand down the disposal to deep clean is not in our job description. Just place the packet in the disposal, let it soak, and turn on your disposal! Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
www.amazon.com
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 pack of two (good for eight uses) from Amazon for $7.56.
3. A pet hair remover that makes it easy to get all the little piles of hair on your couch and carpets that your pup or cat graciously "gifts" you. Roll this back and forth and press the release button to reveal all the hair that makes you ask your animal, "How are you not bald already?" This reusable tool is way more efficient than going through a whole lint roller with wasteful sticky sheets.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:" HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THIS PRODUCT, OH MY GOD. I have a big Great Dane/pit bull mix with black and white fur that gets everywhere and sticks like the devil. I've tried fancy vacuums, lint rollers, that weird yellow sponge thing that's supposed to be magic, crawling on my hands and knees, plucking each hair one by one, but nothing works. UNTIL NOW. I cannot believe my own eyes, and I can't wait to use this thing on every surface of the house and buy one for every dog owner I know. Seriously. I have a very clean home, and I can't believe how much hair I've been living within my rugs. It's disgusting. This product is worth every dang penny." — Amazon Customer

4. A pack of adhesive cable clips so you don't have to throw out your back trying to get your cord that fell behind your desk. Plus, they help keep your cables less tangled!
Promising review:"Sturdy, small charger clip that helps you easily manage cables. It blends easily with my white shelving and keeps me organized. Now my charger won't keep falling off the side of my nightstand. Simple fix for an annoying problem!" — Anastasia Laible
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in three color sets and multiple sizes).
5. A special brush to get in the deep, dark depths of the dryer and get anything that wasn't already caught in the lint trap. This is way easier than shoving your hand down the slim little opening, and it's a quick fix to make your dryer work more effectively!
Amazon
Also, built-up lint is a fire hazard! Make this a part of your weekly cleaning routine.
Promising review:"This brush is stiff but flexible enough to feed under my dryer's lint filter. Several weeks ago, a trouble light came on that indicated the airflow in my dryer was becoming obstructed. I had the dryer vent and area under the lint filter cleaned. (Not much lint was pulled out, so maybe the dryer sensor gave a false alarm.) I felt a small investment in a brush such as this is better than paying for a future vent cleaning. I've been using it once a week, and it picks up a little lint each time, but that's lint that won't have a chance to build up in the dryer vent!" — blueskys
Get it from Amazon for $5.45.
6. A jar of The Pink Stuff — it'll work wonders to remove dirt, oil, grime, rust, and stains from pretty much any surface. You'll be surprised that the ingredient list doesn't just say "magic" since it brings your things (stoves, pans, sinks, etc.) back to life with little to no elbow grease required.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" THIS STUFF IS MAGIC. If you're questioning getting this to clean harder stains or anything, this is your review to read! I was a little skeptical because I've tried many things to clean my shower door with the hard-water stains and nothing really ever got it completely clean...this stuff did! I wish I would have taken before pictures. It did take a couple of applications and some scrubbing, but honestly I didn't have to scrub hard, just used a wet cloth and this and my shower door is now completely clean without any hard water stains! I'm obsessed. Now to see what else I can clean with it." — R. Ford
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
7. A "Bug Bite Thing" that's designed to suck out the painful and itch-inducing irritant that those buggers left you with. This helps to reduce swelling and redness *and* you'll see results right away!
Rebecca O'Connell / BuzzFeed
Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products.
This works on mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies, sea lice, and more!
Promising review:"If I could give this more than 5 stars, I would! Never in my life would I think I would use this or suggest this product as often as I do. It works amazingly well to suction out mosquito bite juices, wasp butt needles, playground wood splinters, and SO MUCH MORE. Worth every penny!" — Jessica DeGroot
Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in five colors and multipacks).
8. A fabric defuzzer, which comes with two extra blade replacements, to turn your clothes from "well-loved" to "like new" in seconds! Also, the protective cover allows you to work on delicate fabrics (like thin knits) without accidentally catching a thread and ruining your clothing.
Promising review:"I don't typically review items, but I couldn't pass on this one. I was skeptical at first but willing to give it a try. I have a new pair of sweats from Champion that were covered in pills after one washing. Disappointed but still comfortable, I bought this machine. Incredible results. Like a newly mowed green on a golf course. I hope it stays good because it's probably the best device I have in my home. Hope you find it as incredible." — Peter J Hopely
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors and two styles).
9. A durable plastic clear toy blocker that deters all your kid's or pet's toys from entering the Dark Side (aka under the couch, stove, or fridge). Plus, the clear plastic is durable and blends in, so it's not a total eyesore.
It can also be used to help discourage smaller animals from hiding under furniture!
Promising review: " This product is GENIUS! My husband and I jokingly said how we wished there was something we could put under our couches to block toys from being lost under there, and with one good old Amazon search, of course, it exists! We used to spend literally a half hour each night trying to knock the toys back out from under the couch with a broom, and now we never have to do that again. It was quick and easy to install, and now toys bounce right off of it and go back to the center of the living room, making for the easiest cleanup ever." — Truthful_Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in eight sizes).
10. A Click & Carry bag holder to save you from the disastrous event of a fallen grocery bag when your hands are too full, resulting in broken pickle containers and spilled milk. But no need to cry here; this little thing helps you hold up to 100 pounds, saves you a couple of trips back to the car, and has a soft gel grip that can even be put over the shoulder, so it's truly a hands-free and hassle-free experience.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This small business was seen on Shark Tank, and the founder, Kim, wanted a painless solution for lugging all her grocery bags in after shopping.
Promising review: "These are great for consolidating trips to the car/truck to carry in items. I only have one functional hand, so it used to take forever to bring items into the house. Now, I just load up four or five bags onto the click-and-carry grip carrier, and off I go. Easy to use as the handle turns counter or clockwise direction, and you just turn it back in place until you hear the click sound, which indicates it's locked in place. I've had these for about a year now, and they haven't worn out or broken yet, so I'm extremely happy with them." — Susan Hardee
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors).
11. A WD-40 pen that will turn any squeaky, rusty, or unlubricated hinge that goes "eeeeeeeeeeee" every time you open it to sheer 🔇 nothing. 🔇 It's super easy to use, and you'll finally be able to get a good night's sleep without hearing the creak when your partner opens up the bathroom door in the middle of the night.
Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.86.
12. A popular long-lasting eyeliner stamp where all you need to do is stamp the wing on the outer corner of your eye and flip it over to the fine tip to finish off the job! Now you can quickly get ready for the day and not redo your eye makeup like a bajillion times.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
One side is the curved wing stamp, and the other is a regular fine tip liner for defining the rest of the eye. It comes in a pack of two, one for each eye.
The Flick Stick comes from New Zealand-based brand and small biz Lovoir Beauty.
Promising review:"Got this before a trip I took a few days ago. I have never been able to do wing eyeliner properly so I was excited to try this. It's very pigmented and goes on beautifully! I've tried other liquid eyeliners before, and they were so watery and not close to the dark black I wanted at all, but this product was great. I did my makeup and put this eyeliner on at 9 a.m., traveled for two hours, walked around a city for about three hours, and it was warm, so I was sweating, and then went to an NBA game. After all that time (about 16 hours!), the eyeliner was just as perfect as I had put it on! I love this product and can't wait to use it more often!" — Elizabeth
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.98 (available in three sizes and a combo pack).
13. A vitamin E-infused makeup-correcting stick that comes in real handy when you've gone a little overboard trying to match your left eye's winged liner to your right's or for any other makeup mishaps. It's gentler than traditional makeup wipes and perfect when you're on the go!
Amazon
Promising review:"Why didn't someone think of this sooner? For years, I've been using cotton buds dipped in makeup remover to remove little goofs or mistakes. This is so much better and portable! Erases waterproof mascara marks around my eyes easily. Must-buy product!!" — Katherine
Get it from Amazon for $10.
14. A Downy fabric spray here to turn your clothing from looking crunchy to fresh and crisp in a matter of minutes. Spray, shake out the clothing, and see how your clothes look magically ironed even when you didn't have the time or patience to iron (who does these days???).
www.amazon.com
Here's what BuzzFeed editor Danielle Healy has to say about it: "I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer."
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.
15. A pack of Bissell Stomp N' Go stain-removing pads that relieve you of getting down and dirty and scrubbing those pesky stains. Instead of investing in costly carpet replacements or professional cleaning services, these pads easily get rid of tough spots at home. All you have to do is place the pad on the stain, stomp on it, and let it sit for 30 minutes. It'll *look* and *smell* like the stain was never there!
www.amazon.com
They're also great for things like wine, mud, coffee, blood, and juice.
Promising review:"WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try them out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow, the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." — Matt
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $25.89.
16. A pack of bottle cleaning tablets with no scrubbing required: Add hot water, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, and rinse away all that gross buildup. Not only is it ~so~ satisfying to dump out all the residue down the drain, but you'll have proof that you now have a sparkly clean bottle!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"These tablets really do work. My husband has a huge Stanley Thermos that he uses daily for coffee. I have tried everything I could think of to clean that thing nothing worked. These tablets made it look brand new on the inside." — middletonbrat
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99.
17. A splurge-worthy rapid cold brew maker that saves you from having to prep your cup o' joe the night before. This makes 40 ounces of ice-cold coffee in under NINE minutes and is super easy to clean!
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the rapid cold brew maker in action.
Promising review: "I like cold brew year round and this may be my favorite method/machine yet! It's so easy to assemble, use, and clean. In about 15 minutes I was impressed with how rich and bold the brew was, with no grounds like others I've tried. It looks great on my kitchen counter. It's lightweight and stable with the base suction cups. It makes a little noise but much less than I expected (and less than my Nespresso machine)." — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
18. A pack of earbud-cleaning putty because somehow earwax and dirt always find their way into the smallest of places. Instead of trying to manually get it out with a Q-tip or tweezers, just press the earbud into the putty and enjoy your favorite album or podcast without gunk causing a muffled sound quality.
Promising review:"After seeing this on BuzzFeed and looking at the reviews along the way, I literally bought this because of another review that said it fixed her muffled iPhone 11. So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of, and, for the first time in months, I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone. I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase." — jtd
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
19. A hair finishing stick so you can sllliiicccckkkk back those flyaways and make sure your Hailey Bieber-inspired look stays all day and night. It's quicker to apply than a messy gel or pomade and can fit in your bag for on-the-go touchups.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have super fine hair with lots of breakage. No matter how I put my hair up I have bad flyaways. This stuff is great! So easy and it stays better and looks smoother than stiff hair spray." — Jill Stilfield
Get it from Amazon for $6.79.
20. A standing weeder because I don't know what's worse, kneeling for hours plucking weeds or paying someone to do something you know you could do yourself. This tool has three steel claws that grip weeds and roots so you can pull them out sans the back pain.
www.amazon.com
Grampa's Gardenware Co. is an Oregon-based, family-owned small business.
Made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG
Get it from Amazon for $36.97.
21. A jar opener so you don't have to muster up the courage to go ask your neighbor to help you open the pickle jar. This grabs the lid with a firm silicone hold, and with a simple twist, you'll be enjoying your pickle spears without having to put your back into it to do so.
This is especially useful for people with limited mobility or a weaker grip.
Promising review: "I have had a difficult time trying to open a large Costco-sized jar of marinated artichoke hearts. To the point that I was sorely tempted to ask my neighbor to open it, a neighbor I don't know well (which seemed to be a little old lady thing to do.) And then I opened up the Amazon envelope and with very little effort, this jar-opening tool opened the jar with amazing ease!! I mean really!! Whoever invented this is pretty darn clever. I recommend it for anyone whose hand strength has lessened but whose yearning for independence (and artichoke hearts or similar food item) is strong." — Nancy C.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 15 colors and styles).
22. A set of Dr. Scholl's self-heating foot masks made with lavender, Epsom salts, and peppermint so those feetsies of yours can go from ouch and oof to ooohs and ahhhs of relief! Just leave these on for 30 minutes, put your feet up, and enjoy having no more achy feet.
Get a closer look on TikTok!
BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord has these in her self-care toolkit: "I'm a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!"
Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation, and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97.
23. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp — it'll hang out on the inside of your bowl and give it a lil' clean with every flush...so you don't have to get in there and do the cleaning yourself! Simply stamp it on, and it'll ward off gross toilet rings and keep your throne smelling nice and fresh for up to 12 days before you have to add another one. Problem solved!
Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%!" — Janet
Get one dispenser with six stamps from Amazon for $4.67.
24. An I Dew Care dry shampoo powder if your hair is looking like it's been a while since wash day. Tap this on to say goodbye to greasy roots and make it look like your hair got a nice lil' refresh. Plus, this is TSA-friendly which makes it great for traveling.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
BTW, this is cruelty-free and benzene-free!
Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it lasts longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa
Get it from Amazon for $18 (available in six shades).
25. A bookish disguise to hide your Wi-Fi modem or other electrical eyesores. Not only will it look like you're an avid reader, but it'll make it seem like you are organized to a tee without actually having to do the darn organizing.
Covogoods is a Utah-based shop that specializes in storage solutions.
Promising review: "I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one, and I've been a Prime member since Day 1. This product is EXTREMELY well-made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this, but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme
Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29 (available in a variety of colors and sizes).
26. A three-piece drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to a regular drill for some serious scrubbin'. If you've ever broken a cleaning brush scrubbing with too much elbow grease, this is the thing for you. Your back will thank you, your bathroom surfaces will sparkle, and you will be so thankful cleaning took half the time it usually does.
www.amazon.com
Founded in 2007 by a former electrician who has 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 Amazon for $18.95 (available in a variety of brush stiffnesses).
27. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner if it looks like the food you just heated up went KABOOM! This mama will tackle any microwave mess with just a little bit of water and vinegar. Just heat her up for a few minutes and wipe away the residual food scraps.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action.
Promising review:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors).
28. A jetted bathtub cleaner so you can enjoy that big ol' tub of yours without the creeping thought of, "Has anyone ever cleaned these jets?" The results might make you gag a little, but it's way better than having to get down and dirty in each jet because you just pour this in with a full tub, run the jets, and scrub away all the yuk!
www.amazon.com
Oh Yuk is a family-owned company based in Minnesota that's been making home cleaning products since 2011.
Promising review:" This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often and always get grossed out if I don't. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I'd have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! The first photo (above) is of my tub running with the solution. Then, I drained it (second photo) and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up and reran the jets, I kid you not, the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! See for yourself in the last photo! I'm so impressed!" — Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes).
29. A jewelry-cleaning stick to finally turn your tarnished jewelry into a sparkling accessory you'll want to wear every day. Simply twist the pen, brush on the built-in cleaning gel, and wash off the excess gel with warm water! Reviewers have been amazed at how quickly this cleans some of their oldest and yuckiest pieces.
Promising review:"I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste, and toothbrushes, you name it, I tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" — Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.48.
30. A MudBuster paw cleaner — your secret weapon to stop muddy paw prints from ever setting foot in your home. It's much faster than cleaning with a wipe or paper towel and the soft, silicone bristles easily get in between those toe beans!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The reason why I gave this product five stars is because it works. My dog does not like the sound of the shower or tub water running. She does not mind sticking her paws in the mud buster cup. She stop being nervous about thinking that she may get a bath. It's quick it's easy and it's a perfect size. Now I don't dread having to take her for walks because I know I can just use the mud buster and we're done in no time." — Liz
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors).
31. Lumify Eye Drops, which reduce redness and brighten up your eyes in just one minute! These are meant to last for up to eight hours, and reviewers say these are worth the price!
www.amazon.com
Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what's right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you're looking for dry eye relief.
Promising review:"I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness." — Angela Leonard
Promising review: "My eyes are sensitive and get red easily. These drops are a necessity for me. If you think they work as well as $3 clear eyes redness relief, think again. It takes me four drops of clear eyes to do what one drop of these do. They're expensive, but sometimes you can catch them on sale, and either way, they're so worth the money, in my opinion." — M
