If You Want To Get Ready For Spring, Give Your Home A Cleaning Reset With These 31 Products
Your neighbors are going to be like 👀 👀 👀 when they see what this lil' $6 bottle of wood polish did to jazz up your front door.
1. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess
Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99.
2. Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — if you want to use a squeegee, check out this reviewer-beloved squeegee on Amazon!
Promising review:"This is by far the best glass cleaner I have used. Wonder has no chance against this spray. I'm not sure why I haven't found this sooner. I will never go back to regular Windex spray. Recommend it!" — Hadassah E.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.55 (available in unscented and lavender).
3. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
4. An all-natural tea tree bathroom cleaner that may be made with plant-based ingredients, but gobbles up stains like nobody's business. Reviewers swear by this for saving time and energy, since it easily cuts through grime, mold, and mildew accumulating in bathroom spaces.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was surprised at how well this worked to clean my shower. In the past, I've used a homemade baking soda paste mixture to scrub my bath and shower, but I was excited to see that just spraying this tub and tile cleaner helped loosen the dirt so that it just wiped right off!! Yay! Saves me time and scrubbing energy :)." — Grover
Get it from Amazon for $21.77.
5. A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set designed with pet owners in mind — the bristle cleaner installed in the dust pan makes it *super* easy to dislodge pet hair into the dust pan so you're not sweeping the floor with it all jammed up in there.
Promising review:"Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced prope rly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." — DonnaMarie13
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).
6. A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine. Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a cheap secret weapon??
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. This stuff was like a Magic Eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." — Kris
Get a bottle from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in multiple sizes).
7. A bottle of Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that's working OVERTIME on preventing you from replacing your carpets — not only does this vanish the evidence of pet-related stains and odors, but it leaves the area smelling so nice that you'll be like, "Um, is this my new signature perfume??"

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products.
Promising review:"This product has become a must in our household! We discovered it while looking for another scent/odor control product that had a strong citrus scent to spray around a Christmas tree a year or so ago when one of our dogs suddenly decided that he was going to start peeing on the Christmas tree every night. Not only did it deter him from peeing on it, it smells fantastic, and now we use it all the time for any smells around the house, pet odor-related or not! It only takes one or two sprays as well, and the whole area smells fabulous afterward." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (available in four sizes).
8. Plus a Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner with a *MAJOR* fan following of parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened.

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review:"Saw this thing all over TikTok and caved because my couch was looking BUSTED. This little green monster was super simple to put together out of the box, easy to wrap back up after use and the water that came after cleaning my couch was literally black... My couch is light blue so, definitely gets things CLEAN. Do it, you don't know you need it but you do." — KD Krane
Get it from Amazon for $99.98.
9. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair and not only lock it in, but stash it inside the roller itself, so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles, i ncluding a mini version great for on-the-go and traveling!).
10. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.
11. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad that reviewers love not only because it's ready for action again right after a wash cycle, but because it picks up a *ton* more dirt, gunk, and debris than the disposable mops do. Your kitchen floor is finally gonna shine. ✨
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Turbo Mops is a small business that specializes in eco-friendly cleaning products.
Promising review: "If you have a Swiffer Wet Jet and are tired of having to buy those mop pads I would 10000x recommend these. All you do is stick it to the bottom of your mop like you would a mop pad and mop like normal. It stays on great and even picks up crumbs better than the store bought mop pads. Once you're done you just throw it in the wash and it's good as new. I'm not sure if you're supposed to dry them, but I do and they come out just fine! I love these!!" — Kate
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.49 (available in multipacks).
Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.06!
12. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to potentially pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was looking for something to get all the hair that was clogged in my shower drain. I was so over using liquid drainer solutions and them not working. It was a little hard to get down my drain, but after a few tries I got it down in there and twisted it to the right and pulled up. The amount of hair and gunk that came out was satisfying yet disgusting! I read a bunch of the reviews saying it broke but I didn't have any issues with the durability. They also provide 6 so if one breaks just use another one. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I'll never go back to liquid draining solutions ever again!" — BM
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.96.
13. A set of washing machine–cleaning tablets that'll tackle that weird mold + mildew smell in one cycle. Your laundry will come out so fresh that you'll hold your nose up to it like you're auditioning to play "Human in Scented Detergent Commercial."
Amazon
Promising review: My older model Whirlpool washing machine had been smelling very bad for about two months. We tried everything, white vinegar, bleach, etc., it would stay fresh smelling for two days then back to the bad moldy smell. I read this product works so I ordered it. Used one tablet and the smell is gone!!! It has been three weeks now and it just smells fresh, no strong perfume odor either! Buy this product you will not regret it!!!" — A.C.
Get a set of six tablets from Amazon for $11.98.
14. And a set of dishwasher-cleaning tablets you can pop into a cycle with your dirty dishes to wipe out all the extra grime and that funky smell you can never seem to get rid of no matter how hard you try. You don't even need to scrub — these do all the work for you!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I've noticed my dishwasher wasn't cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don't know why these tablets work but they absolutely did and I am a happy customer!" — B. Turner
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98.
15. A mold and mildew removal gel — leave this on the offending spots in kitchens and bathrooms for six hours, and you can wipe it off like nothing nefarious ever grew there in the first place.
www.amazon.com
WE SUPPORT A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!
Promising review:"It's a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn't caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" — Brooklyn Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
16. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover, a water-based cleaning spray that will rescue your carpets from juuuuust about any peril you put them in, whether it's ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, blood, or even *old* stains you've long given up on.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover in action.
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We've got this.'' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).
17. A set of quick-drying Swedish reusable dish towels that save the environment *and* a whole lot of your time and money. Each of these lil' bubs is durable enough to replace 15 paper towel rolls, and the ultra-absorbent cellulose makes it so much easier to scrub with.
Eparé is a small business that specializes in kitchen and cleaning products for home use.
Promising review: "Have been using these for a year now and absolutely pleased with replacing these for using paper towels. They are absorbent and easy to clean with dish soap and water, then hung to dry. I throw ones that have had several uses into the dishwasher at the end of the week. They hold their shape and absorbency, and while a duller pattern, does well for a couple of months each." — Ben McDonald
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four styles and in eight-packs).
18. And a " Skoy Scrub," aka the secret weapon in your cleaning arsenal — this reusable, dishwasher-safe scrub is tough as nails on stains and grime, but safe to use without scratching or damaging non-stick pans, ceramic, glass, and cooktops.
www.amazon.com
Skoy is a small business that specializes in household cleaning products.
Promising review: "At 67, I can say I've tried all kinds of different scrubbers, and these are definitely the best. These actually work better than Magic Erasers. They don't hold food like the common ones at the market. They haven't held any stains so far, they just rinse off, and are eco friendly but last forever. I'm still on my first one after eight months, and it looks like new. I've put it in the washer but not the dryer since they dry fast — and by the way, they don't stink. This is my second order because I'm bringing a couple to my second home, and I'm going to include one in my camping gear as well. I'm definitely impressed." — SoCalToyotas
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
19. A self-cleaning electric toilet brush to go full YEE! HAWWWW! on the grime in your toilet bowl. If you're dealing with hard water stains, this is an excellent way to get the toilet bowl sparkling again without having to scrub hard. When you put it away, the base will light up blue to let you know it's sanitizing the brush!
Promising review: "I always have a ring in my toilet because I have hard water and this brush does a wonderful job of cleaning it right off! It is so easy to use and I love the blue light that automatically comes on after cleaning to get rid of bacteria. This brush actually makes cleaning toilets fun!" — Ashley Picard
Get it from Amazon fo r $31.99 (available in white, black, and a two-pack).
20. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that uses vinegar and water to blow hot steam into your microwave oven and loosen up all the old food and stains in a mere seven minutes (approximately two Lizzo songs, if anyone's keeping track).
www.amazon.com
Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action.
Promising review:"This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" — Desiree Barlow
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles).
21. A fast-acting, plant-based Keurig machine cleaning kit you can use to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time. It works in less than five minutes, and has enough product to keep your Keurig running clean and smooth for a full year.
www.amazon.com
New England Stories is a small business established in 1987 that specializes in plant-based cleaning products.
Promising review: "I've had my coffee machine for a year now, and I have never washed it. I didn't know what these products were! The solution is odorless, which is super nice! Works very well with Keurig machines and is user-friendly. It takes about five minutes to complete the cleaning process from start to finish, which is very speedy. A great value, you get four uses out of this product!" — Matteo's Mom
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A ceiling fan carbon filter that's about to be any allergy-prone human's hero — you can hide it on top of a ceiling fan blade, where it will secretly pick up dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens and improve the air quality of the room. Take THAT, pesky particles.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79.
23. A bottle of Goo Gone for banishing all those mysteriously sticky, tough-to-scrub stains, like toothpaste or shampoo residue or the adhesive left on your windows or cars from sticker decals.
People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products in their kitchens and bathrooms, too!
Promising review:"Goo Gone has a million different uses. Highly recommend this product to anyone. You are bound to find a use for it at some point and it's pretty easy to store at home. Recently, I used some for removing the packaging of glass mason jars. I noticed the jars of tomato sauce I was buying from the grocery store were actually really nice mason jars. Felt like a waste throwing them out. Why buy a set of mason jars when, instead, you could just buy some Goo Gone and restore your own set? The process was pretty easy for removing the stickers that were glued to the jars." — Ryan
Get it from Amazon for $8.09.
24. A watermark remover cloth to easily remove marks left by water, alcohol, and heat after those moments you accidentally disrespected the coasters on your coffee table by setting your glass literally anywhere else.
Psst — this can also be used to polish metal and chrome.
Promising review:"I was beside myself! I had a haze right in the middle of my carved waves dining room table! Not a ring, but a big 3"x5" area! I tried all the usual remedies, mayonnaise, beeswax, etc., to restore the surface, and NOTHING was working! So I turned to Amazon, and when I saw Guardsmen, I jumped on this! Our family has used Guardsmen products since I was little, and I am 65 years old! This worked exactly like the video showed, BUT it took doing it a little at a time, over and over... BUT OMG it WORKED! If you have any problem with haze caused by moisture and heat, TRY THIS! It's a MIRACLE!" — MaggieB
Get it from Amazon for $7.82.
25. A set of little cast-iron scrapers designed with a durable polycarbonate plastic to easily scrape off grease, cheese, and burnt sauce from cookware without scratching or messing with the seasoning.
Promising review: "These are smaller than the photos indicate, but they are very good at their job of removing crud. Love them. I have only needed to open one of the three included in the set, and I suspect this first one will last indefinitely, so I may give away the others. This is one of those small, cheap products that is incredibly helpful. Why didn't I buy this years ago? Used to leave some pots and pans for my spouse, but now it's almost fun to clean them using this." — 4eyeslab
Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a five-pack).
26. A heavy-duty grout cleaner you only need to let sit for 10 minutes before you can scrub the dirt and grime off all those sneaky crevices of your old kitchen and bathroom tiles.
Promising review:"We moved into our house a year ago and I've been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. I've tried everything — store products, DIY solutions, Pinterest recommendations, you name it. As a last resort, I got this, and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first, and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds, letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." — Britney Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
27. And a grout paint pen to revamp your bathroom and kitchen tiles so fast that you'll start taking videos of them like you're showing off a home on HGTV.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Best product! My house was built in the early 1960s and the bathroom grout was becoming discolored in spots. I had used every product on the market before buying this pen to see if I could brighten the grout with no luck. I could have just saved so much money if I had went with the pen in the first place! It worked throughout the shower with more product to go! Easy to clean up and lasts a while!" — Kelli
Get one on Amazon for $8.99 (available in two sizes and three colors).
28. A clever silicone " Broombi," designed to flex harder than most of us have in a calendar year — it's an all-surface broom, squeegee, *and* pet hair remover, making it your one-stop shop for all your "fix this grimy floor IMMEDIATELY" needs.
Promising review:"Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilt messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
29. A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime busting for you, so you don't have to have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.
Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A. Givens
Psst – each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the 'all-purpose' medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you're cleaning (but none of them will scratch!).
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles).
30. A bottle of jetted tub cleaner so easy to use that literally all you have to do is run your bath water, pour in the cleaner, and run your jets.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Go buy this NOW. I moved into a new house and wanted to do a deep clean before we got settled in. No matter what cleaning products I used, I kept finding weird black dots floating in the water when I turned on the jets, so I never used the tub. I saw Oh Yuk recommended by a ton of people on TikTok and decided to give it a try. OMG I wish I took pics of how bad it was. I followed the directions, and it took **eight cycles** of filling up the tub, adding Oh Yuk, running the jets for 15 mins, draining, scrubbing the whole tub and the gross ring that was left, rinse and repeat. I had no idea what was stuck in the jets, and I feel so much better seeing the water perfectly clean." — Courtney F.

Got Fruit Flies? These Products Can Get Rid Of Them.
They linger around fruit bowls, hover above trash cans and seem to multiply by the thousands. Fruit flies are some of the most obnoxious household pests around, and Amazon is here with some pest control options that reviewers say really work. If you're at your wits' end with gnats and tiny flies, keep reading to find options including a popular UV light that attracts and traps bugs, incredibly effective sticky tape traps, and other handy products that are safe for inside your home. Drain sticks for your toilet tanks, sinks, tub trains and more Executive editor Kate Palmer recommended these drain sticks. Not only do they help to prevent bad smells, but they can help to break down grease, food, fats and oils that can clog up drains and attract fruit flies. These deodorizing sticks are highly concentrated and designed to dissolve slowly. You only have to use one stick a month, and since each pack comes with 12 sticks, you're set for the whole year with a single purchase. Get two 12-packs from Amazon for $15.98. A flying insect trap that our shopping team can't live without Shopping writer Lourdes Avila Uribe relies heavily on the Zevo insect traps every summer. They use blue + UV light in combination with sticky paper to attract and trap flies, fruit flies, gnats, mosquitoes, and even little spiders and other undesirable critters. "As soon as the weather starts to warm up, I put one of these in just about every room of the house. It's astonishing to me how much they catch. I have three of these in my house right now and I would not be able to manage without them," she it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four-pack styles). A discreet outlet fly trap This fast-working and indoor-safe trap plugs into an electric outlet and can attract a number of different kinds of insects in spaces as large as 400 square feet. The non-toxic and discreet device has a UV light to lure bugs and then uses a hidden, dual-sided glue card to trap them. When the glue card is full, simply replace it and keep using the review: "I normally don't write reviews when a product works as expected, however this bug catcher deserves a rave review. We live in the country and are plagued by gnats. This product is so effective I didn't know I had so many gnats finding their way into our house. It was so effective I ordered two more for different areas of our house, and ordered this product as gifts for my daughter, my neighbor and my sister in law. It also catches the occasional moth, fly and so far a dozen mosquitoes that I didn't suspect were inside. No more flying bug spray needed. This product exceeded my expectations." —B. GrimmGet it from Amazon for $14.52+ (available in two sizes). A four-pack of trusted bait fruit fly traps Made by Terro, a trusted brand in pest control, these traps can help eliminate large scale fly infestations in just a few days. Each one offers up to 45 days of protection and uses a non-staining liquid bait to attract and trap bugs, and you can monitor progress with the convenient fill window on the side of the trap. Promising review: "[A] recent grocery delivery resulted in a swarm of fruit flies that remained [even] after fogging [the] kitchen and adjacent areas with a full can of Raid Flying insect spray. Desperate, I searched Amazon for an alternative and ordered these traps. I prepared two and by the next morning, there was NO SIGN OF FRUIT FLIES. It's truly MIRACULOUS how quickly and thoroughly they worked!" — FORGOT_PASSWORDGet four traps from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in two other pack sizes). 20 sheets of versatile sticky gnat traps These dual-sided sheets use a non-toxic sticky residue to capture everything from fruit flies to aphids without the use of chemical-based insecticides. The waterproof and sun-proof sheets can be cut and customized to allow you to hang them, make plant stakes or secure them along windowsills. Promising review: "I'm so glad I found these. I was having a fruit fly problem, which as we all know, is very annoying. I couldn't get them to go away with any weird soap and vinegar hacks so I thought I'd at least catch them in this sticky trap when they were flying around. It totally worked, and the best part is that I likely won't have any fruit flies at all anymore, cause they can't multiply if they die on the paper. Yay!" —SofiGet a 10-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in two other pack sizes). A fruit fly trap liquid Made with plant-based ingredients that are non-toxic and safe for kitchens, Aunt Fannie's Fly Punch is a powerful fruit fly attractant that lasts up to 30 days and prevents flies from multiplying. Just open the lid and place it in your most affected areas or fill an existing reusable trap with the solution. Promising review: "This is the fourth year in a row that I have purchased this product. Needless to say, I am very happy with it. Around this time of year we usually get some gnats or fruit flies buzzing around the kitchen sink or more annoyingly, the computer monitor. When that happens, we open this product and the critters are all gone within 1-2 days. They are attracted to the scent this bottle emits once it is opened. They fly right into it and drown. You can see them floating around in it. Once they're gone, this can be easily disposed of by just tossing it in the garbage. Goodbye gnats and fruit flies." —1GLENCoGet it from Amazon for $7.96. A no-zap indoor bug catcher This soundless compact indoor catcher uses an insect-attracting UV light, fan-induced suction and a sticky interior glue board to capture bugs without you having to lift a finger. It's small enough to place on end tables or kitchen counters, and the low-maintenance design has earned this automatic catcher more than 57,360 five-star ratings on review: "A couple weeks ago I was suddenly inundated with gnats. In bed at night they were flying in front of my face every night. I tried insect sprays but that did nothing. Desperately I ordered this Katchy trap, based on the reviews. I set it up on my nightstand, plugged it in and turned it on. It's very quiet so it won't disturb my sleep. The soft blue glow of the UV light is barely noticeable with my Google Assistant only two feet away. But quite amazing to me is that it's already captured about thirty of those nasty little buggers! I am so impressed that I just ordered a second one for my kitchen. I think anyone with small flying insects will benefit from at least one of these Katchy traps!" —Joseph Van GyzenGet it from Amazon for $35.99 (available in two colors). A fruit fly drain solution This drain treatment by Green Gobbler puts an end to gnats that circle and fly up from kitchen drains. The thick citronella-based gel will coat the interior of drain pipes to kill flies on contact. The non-corrosive formula promises to be safe and gentle on garbage disposals and septic systems. Promising review: "I'd been dealing with a drain fly infestation for months and was at my wits end. I was killing 20-40 each day by hand or more. Tried all kinds of things to get rid of them - bug spray, lining my windows with bug spray, baking soda and vinegar down the drains, bug killer down the drains, sticky paper, and several other methods you've probably read about online... I used this pleasant smelling goo a few times as instructed and it seems to have taken care of much of the problem. After applying it to my shower drain and bathroom sink, the leftover gel around the drains had a bunch of drain fly carcasses in it the next day. I did the same thing over a period of about a week and more carcasses would appear each time. I have effectively eliminated a drain fly infestation which was driving me mad. Very cool!" —Amazon customerGet it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes). An 18-pack of highly rated plant stakes Made using long-lasting, UV-resistant and waterproof materials, these plant spikes are coated front and back with a super sticky adhesive that's both odorless and non-toxic. Perfect for use in your outdoor garden or indoor potted plants, these traps have pointed stake bases for stabbing into soil and are thoughtfully designed with a glue-free portion so you can remove them without getting adhesive on your fingers. Promising review: "This product WORKS BEYOND WORKS!! In Florida we get fruit flies out of nowhere. We have tried every product and old wives tale, nothing works long term until spring THIS!! From the very first day, the fruit flies haven't made it past the drain. Wow.. Just Wow! We get a small cocktail glass, put a small amount of cheap apple cider vinegar and sit this inside and all I can say is, UNBELIEVABLE... Woke up the next day to more than 20 caught onto this butterfly trap, FRONT AND 20 more on the BACK!!" —SwnsasyGet an 18-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles).

Transform Your Messy Closet With These 28 Tips
Use some space-saving storage bags to help you free up more space, because why let bulky winter jackets take up a whole section of your closet when you can store them away until the cold weather hits? These are great because they don't even require a vacuum, you just fill the bag with clothing and roll the air out. Promising review: "This product is great! I actually use these to store my off-season clothes in my closet to save room. Not only do these save room, but protect my clothing from moths and mildew. They are very easy to use." —N. Christie Get 12 bags from Amazon for $17.64. Or use a set of vacuum storage bags to shrink your bulkiest blankets and puffiest coats down to the size of a pancake. Just load 'em up, suck out the air (use your own vacuum or the included hand pump!), and enjoy your reclaimed space. Definitely consider these if you have *a lot* of clothing and bedding you want to store away. Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE these! They fit WAY more than they say they do. I fit my whole linen closet in three bags. And all five of my family's jackets and sweaters in three bags. Regular bags or boxes would have taken up way more space. I wish I had bought these years ago." —Ashley Get a set of six jumbo bags from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in small, medium, large, and jumbo sizes). Magically multiply your closet space by hanging several garments *vertically* with a 10-pack of Wonder Hangers. Perfect for anyone battling overstuffed hangers just to grab a single shirt.

Instead of draping them over chairs and hanging them on doorknobs, keep your collection together with this handy tool that can hold up to six per hanger. It also spins — how convenient! Promising review: "These are great for closet organization. My husband uses them for his hats and hoodies. He used to just pile his hoodies in a drawer, now he actually hangs them up so they are more visible and easy to grab. I use them for my tanks and camis. So versatile and great quality. Items stay on the hook easily and they increase storage capacity in the closet." —isk8erGet it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in three finishes and three quantities).

Promising review: "I was looking for a way to neatly store my baseball caps, and this Durmmur hat rack works perfectly! The stainless steel design feels sturdy, and I love that it comes with both adhesive and wall-mounting options. The adhesive holds up well on my closet door, even with several hats on it.

Instead of keeping your shoes in a pile on the floor, hang an over-the-door shoe organizer so they're stored there. This way you can see all your options with just a quick glance. Reviewers use it to store everything from stuffed animals and water bottles to knitting supplies and review: "This was the perfect addition to help finish off my new bedroom and closet setup!

The Roomganize Store is a small business selling organization products for the home. Promising review: "It actually fits my size 13 shoes!

Finally put an end to the avalanche of athleisure in your closet with a pack of two leggings organizing hangers. Each hanger holds up to 10 pairs, keeping them neatly displayed and easy to grab.

Instead of taking up closet rod or drawer space, hang this from your closet door. The Roll Keeper is a woman-owned small business based in Kelso, review: "I've been looking for a way to store my T-shirts and save space and this is exactly what I need. It's great quality and I will most likely be ordering another one soon!" —SueAlex WrightGet it from The Roll Keeper on Etsy for $19.99 (available with white or black elastic). Keep your closet from turning into a black hole of forgotten jeans and tangled skirts with a set of space-saving pants hangers.

Each garment gets its own hanger, so you never have to wonder where your favorite pair of slacks are. Make laundry day more management with a rolling laundry sorter that you can use to sort your clothes into groups. These come blank, but a lot of reviewers (myself included) use a stencil and marker to label each bag by what type of garment. 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; my kids think it's fun to separate the clothes, and I'm fine with that, ha. I used a 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 are good quality and have a great capacity. It makes laundry so easy!!!!" —LourdesGet it from Amazon for $33.88+ (available in five colors). Or keep dirty clothes in a laundry hamper that'll hang from your closet door. This product is great because it unzips from the bottom, so you don't have to take it down and stick your hand in the bag to fish out all the dirties. This is also a great solution if you're running low on floor space. Promising review: "We've been using this for a while now. Our bathroom layout is too narrow for a traditional hamper, but we wanted something near the shower. This can definitely hold a full load of laundry. The design makes it so it doesn't bulge out so much. It keeps its lay-flat design. The zipper is borderline genius. We put a laundry basket underneath and unzip to transfer the laundry. Nothing ever gets stuck since the zipper is the full length of the bottom. Even with a large load of laundry, the zipper is easy to slide. It has not pinched or gotten caught on any of our clothes. Helpful." —Leah BatchelorGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors). Organize your hangers with a hanger stacker if you have a lot of hangers but no home for them. Keeping your closet tidy and organized will be a breeze thanks to this! Promising review: "Working in retail for a million years, I know how amazing these can be in keeping your life less chaotic! I put off ordering for months, and I'm mad at myself that I did, because these beat a box of hangers hands down! I ordered two, one for dress/shirt hangers and one for skirt/pant hangers. They arrived today, seem to be made of the same metal that I've used in retail stores, appear to be sturdy, and are super easy to assemble! The only thing I had to stop and think about was which side of the base should face up. It comes with all the hardware and tools for assembly. A great buy!" —KatieLee333Get it from Amazon for $29.08.

Or use a pack of two transparent dividers if you want something that's chic. Sweaters, pants, T-shirts, and other foldable items can be sorted into specific areas and easily found. Promising review: "These dividers have changed my life! I put them on the top shelf of my clothes closet and divide sections into the type of clothes I want. One section has blue jeans, another section has black pants, another section has lightweight summer pants, and I can see everything just looking up at the shelf. My closet is no longer a mess, and the top shelf above the hanging clothes is no longer the place where I just throw things and can't keep track of them. I never knew what was up there and now I do! As I said, I just bought a second set of them for my second closet." —Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in clear, black, or white and in packs of two, four, six, or eight).

Promising review: "I got this organizer for my daughter's drawers. I was so tired of putting her clothes away and barely closing the drawer because she had so much stuff packed into it. These organizers fit in her drawers perfectly. They came ready to go. All I had to do was zip the bottom to make it stable and put it in the drawer. I used one in her underwear drawer and the drawer looks so wonderful and organized. The compartments are a good size. I was able to get two pairs of underwear into most of the compartments. This is a sturdy organizer and a well-made product." —Kari and KevinGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors). Keep your jewelry organized with a dust-free, sectioned tray that'll make you feel like you run a very tiny, very chic jewelry boutique out of your closet. Each tray has compartments for rings, earrings, bracelets, and other sparkly bits, so your jewelry's not just tossed in a tangled heap anymore. They stack neatly, look expensive (without actually being expensive), and will make finding the right pair of hoops feel like less of a scavenger hunt.

Promising review: "I emptied two under-the-bed storage containers filled to the top into this organizer. The pockets are convenient, and they fit so much! I put 24 rolls of wrapping paper and at least 50 bags (if not more) into it, along with bows and some small boxes. So far, it is holding the weight on the back of a door. I would highly recommend this product." —Jess"I used to store all the decorations in a long plastic box which was heavy n cumbersome. Then, I'd have to go through it to find what I wanted. The hanging decoration is wonderful! A spot for everything you need and hangs on a rod in your closet. Highly recommend!" —Charles V. Lavander Get it from Amazon for $21.87.
