Promising review: "This has been a great addition to our cleaning regime. We wash cars, sidewalks, and backyard pool areas. Today I am cleaning my outdoor BBQ and can't wait to get started. It is easy to use and set up and cleans everything easily. The canister is easy to pull around and never tips over due to its unique wheel design. I highly recommend this product." — Caroline Leary

Dilute it according to the instructions, apply to your surface, and wait for your jaw to drop. While it's excellent for the heavy duty problems, it is a tad harsh, so always test in a hidden area before using it on painted surfaces or fabrics. Promising review: "This stuff is like magic. I had used another brand always before, and ended up trying this one out. I used to have to scrub with a metal brush. This seems to melt the oil stain off the driveway and I have to scrub way less. It doesn't leave any residue after washing off with water." — Clay H. Pinkerton

Promising review: "I got an expensive sheep hair chair from CB2. I thought I could just vacuum it but it wasn't removing the dust/dirt/lint bits and the seat was matting after six months of daily use. This cleaned and smoothed it out well. I got the suggestion from professional furniture restorers. It WILL remove some hairs, particularly if matted, but the hairs are often loose anyway. All dust/dirt/lint bits combed right out and it looks new again." — SH

You also get a mesh bag for all those brushes and a hook for storing the scrubber. A little screen shows you the speed and battery percentage! Promising review: "This electric spin scrubber has completely transformed my cleaning routine! The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the three adjustable speeds provide the perfect amount of power for different surfaces. I love the eight replaceable brush heads — there's a perfect one for every cleaning task, from the shower to kitchen tiles. The adjustable long handle is a game-changer for reaching high or low spots without straining my back. It's durable, easy to use, and makes deep cleaning effortless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and effort on household chores!" — Eddie

My board looks beautiful, and my knives and scissors are back to their original condition." — ares"We've been using Thirteen Chefs Mineral Oil on all our hardwood cutting boards, and it's been fantastic!

This mineral oil has become a must-have for maintaining our kitchen tools!" — Perfect Cents

It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856

Promising review: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." — Bonzarelli

It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home INVEST IN THIS!!" — S.

The kit includes the pictured velvet record brush, a spray bottle of record cleaner, a stylus brush for the needle, and a small bristled cleaning brush for cleaning the dust off the velvet brush. Promising review: "I bought this kit immediately after getting some vinyls and a record player. I'm so impressed with how well it cleans! I should've taken pictures of what came off of the visibly dirty vinyls (a LOT of dust and a bit of cat hair). While you can make it harder for yourself and clean it on a flat surface, you can simply put your record on the player and hold the brush in one place! It's so quick and works so well!! This was the help my vinyls so desperately needed to boost their audio quality!" — Susie W

Promising review: "Extremely effective. I own a furniture store. We purposely spread some butter, french fry grease, and pomegranate juice on a Clean Code "S" fabric swatch, and let it sit for a day. Then we put on gloves, put some fluid on a small part of a rag, dabbed at the spill (didn't rub into it), which disintegrated the spill. Did this a few times, and lightly scraped sideways over the spill. You can't even see where the spills were. We keep this swatch on our desk when we write up our sales orders. Every one of our customers who buys a fabric sofa or chair, that has code S fabric, buys one of these or else we include it for free. I ordered a case for our stock." — J. Rasmussen

It's safe to use on silver, gold, brass, and silver-plated metals like aluminum. Promising review: "Before, my jewelry was so dusty and crusty that my jewelry box was like a doom box where rings and necklaces went to die. It was SO satisfying to do. I recommend wearing gloves, though. I was so excited to try the wipes that I went at it bare-handed, and after one necklace, my fingers were uncomfortably dry. Slid on some gloves, and the rest was a breeze. 10/10 recommend." — Sarah

A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane

I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I had previously bought some other adhesive remover which was so pungent. This stuff worked better than that at removing adhesive residue. The residue came off effortlessly by wiping with a cloth wetted with the fluid. AND: no discernible smell whatsoever. Just MAGIC." — AH

Can't recommend enough." — Madison Bean"I thought our dishwasher was just old and didn't clean well due to the hard water. But, when I gave these a try, I immediately had clean dishes without spots." — Rebecca Park Totilo

Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily. Plus, no chemicals needed, which I really like. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy

It quickly removed that stain and I continued to use the spray on a stain I got from my black jeans. Like magic the stain was gone and my bag has been restored!

It barely took any effort and soap scum and hard water stains just rubbed away instantly. I highly recommend it!!" — Seven"I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good....It's that good. It's better than good. My shower looks better than new.

I have a wall in my kitchen that my big dog likes to lay against and I have never been able to get it 100% clean. These wipes made it look like I put a fresh coat of paint on the wall.

And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time.

I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough but could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I'm a convert." — ss3745

Promising reviews: "My Yeti tumblers are used for tea. Every day. I've been using them for years. And there is a disgusting build up that I can never scrub off, not even with a magic eraser (its tannins). These are magical little nuggets of cleaning. My Yeti that is 5+ years old and had 5+ years of tea tannins built up is now sparkling clean like it was brand new!! I put boiling hot water in each cup, dropped in the magical nugget, and let it sit over night. A good scrub and I could sell this as an unused Yeti tumbler!! Worth the money and time!!!" — B.J.

You charge up the wand with a USB, put your brush in the wand, and choose one of three different speeds to spin it clean in a pretty little glass bowl. Promising Reviews: "Love this thing! It is amazing and works just as described. It cleans AND dries brushes in seconds!! Dense brushes take a little longer to dry, you just have to let them spin a little longer but it's far better then the day to two drying time I used to deal with. I can use them again immediately after because the brushes are spun completely dry! I used to completely dread cleaning my brushes. Now it's so easy that I do it frequently. Totally worth the investment for someone who hates cleaning their brushes like I did. I've recommended it to others and they love it too!" — A.Grant"This is such a gem.

Grout, tough mold, mystery sticky stuff, and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance.

Strongly recommended. Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail.

Angry Orange, a small business started in 2014, makes all kinds of supplies to clean up after your pets! Promising reviews: "I decided to buy this product after reading the reviews. I bought it because we have four big, BIG, HAIRY dogs that think they are Chichuahuas and should be inside all the time, and I'm very self-conscious of their smell any time someone comes to our house. I vacuum everyday, and I use carpet deodorizers often, but still... there is always a faint dog "scent" that remains. Angry Orange smells very orangey (of course!) when you apply it, but the scent doesn't last long. When it fades, it takes with it the dog scent also. It doesn't mask it, like other products, it takes it away!!! I have a couple of family members that have very good noses and who are very vocal and opinionated, and even they said that they could not smell dogs after using this magical concoction." — Miriam B

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. Literally double your closet's hanging space with a double closet rod. Because why is a T-shirt on a hanger taking up only 50% of the usable space? Not in this economy! Capitalize on any unused space in your closet with a pair of stacked baskets. They easily glide in and out, have built-in dividers, and even have handles so you can carry them from room to room. (Hey, you never know!) Promising review: "Love these in my linen closet for medicines, bandages, cosmetics, etc. All of the little items are contained, and you can adjust the dividers in each drawer to suit your needs. Drawers slide out smoothly and securely. Game changer!" —Florida32940Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four colors). If you have *a lot* of hoodies but no where to keep them, consider a space-saving hoodie hanger. 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). Keep your sneakers, heels, and "I'll swear I'll wear those someday" shoes on a rotating rack that spins like a lazy Susan. Its vertical design means it takes up minimal space while keeping every pair visible and easy to grab — because digging through a shoe pile stinks. Keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor with a broom and mop organizer that you put on your closet's wall. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis. Use some wall-mounted hat racks to give your baseball caps a dedicated spot *without* crushing them into a drawer or stacking them into a wobbly tower. These will keep your favorite hats organized, easy to grab, and looking fresh — because a good cap deserves better than the back of a chair. Each rack can hold up to 15 hats. 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. It keeps my caps organized and easily accessible without taking up too much space. Highly recommend for anyone looking to declutter their hat collection!" —Ryan KeithGet it from Amazon for $6.77+ (available in six colors and five multipacks). Or use some adhesive hat hooks to give your hat collection a more prominent home — a perfect option for those of you who have a hat collection worth showing off. Promising review: "Loved them, so easy to put on the wall and so far they are strong. It's been a week and none of my hats have fallen. So far so good! Will be purchasing more." —ValennaGet a 20-pack from Amazon for $9.99. Organize your brassieres with a pack of two bra hangers. Reviewers love these for holding negligees, shapewear, tank tops, and camis, too! Promising review: "Can't believe how AMAZING these are!!! These have helped me save so much space in my closet. If you are thinking of getting these, don't hesitate, just get them. They are very very sturdy — I have many items on them — and they have not broken or bent." —Continental travelerGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in white or wood). 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! All my sneakers, heels, and flats fit in the holes perfectly and make my floor a bunch neater." —SharonGet it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in five colors). And if you're a person who wears large shoes, a 24-pocket hanging shoe organizer made specifically for shoes up to a men's size 16 will do the trick. The Roomganize Store is a small business selling organization products for the home. Promising review: "It actually fits my size 13 shoes! Not a fan of the color but when something this useful comes along for me, who cares? I mean, it is behind the closet door. I recommend this for anyone who has large feet and is looking for an over-the-door shoe organizer." —C. CurateGet it from Amazon for $32.95 (available in white or brown). 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. Now you'll always be able to spot that *one* pair of black leggings in a sea of other black leggings! Use a hangable T-shirt organizer if you have a lot of T-shirts but nowhere to store them. 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 one holds several items while taking up the space of just one regular hanger; plus, the swivel hook makes grabbing what you need way easier. Or use a pack of 50 dedicated metal pants hangers if you want an aesthetically pleasing and very tidy way to store your pants. 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. Use some shelf dividers to stop your neatly folded stacks of sweaters, jeans, and linens from toppling over like a poorly built Jenga tower.

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).

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.

21 Products Reviewers Say They Used From College On
A shower curtain with pockets — a true space-saving legend you'll be glad you bought freshman year. In the dorms, it'll hold your endless shampoo bottles and face masks; in your first apartment, it might graduate to wine bottles, kids' bath toys, or even a waterproof speaker. Trust me, it's one of those 'why doesn't everyone own this?' items. Promising review: "This is by far one of the best inventions EVER! So, I started getting these in college instead of having shower caddies—all the girls got a big pocket and small pocket —GREAT IDEA! Way less bulk and soap scum around the ledges where normal caddies would get left. As there was an extra pocket, it was a great place to put your phone or even a speaker while in the shower (our phones having waterproof cases, of course). Much like other shower curtains, you can just wash them in the washer or by hand and they are like new! This super durable curtain can be useful if you have kids — you can put their toys! Dogs? Put a treat or tennis ball in the pocket to keep them occupied while bathing them. Need some personal time? The large pockets also easily fit a bottle of wine and can be reached while soaking in the tub. I mean the uses for this thing are endless!" —Ms. Mary Get it from Amazon for $ my colleague's Maytex Quick Dry Pockets Shower Curtain review for more deets! A set of blackout curtains designed to turn 'just five more minutes' into full-on hibernation. They'll help you snooze through your 8 a.m.s now (oops) and keep streetlights from ruining your REM cycles in your future city apartment. Extra perk: they also muffle noise and help control the temperature, which means they're pulling triple duty for years to come. If you don't want to drill into the wall to install curtains, we recommend going with either a tension rod, Command hooks or brackets that connect to existing review: "This is my third time buying these curtains, been using them since college apartments, and now bought them for our guest bedroom. Does a great job of blocking sunlight and more light. These pictures are of the grey curtains." —EdogGet them from Amazon for $15.93+ (available in a variety of sizes and colors). Some foam earplugs that'll be the unsung hero of your backpack. They'll save you from all-night parties in the room next door, rescue your sanity during red-eye flights, help you stay focused in the library, and provide sanctuary from any future partners who snore like chainsaws. Promising review: "I initially bought these to help during my college exams in a computer lab. The constant clacking of keys and clicks of everyone's mouse was distracting me. I only use one, and it completely drowned out the sound in that ear. I started using them when I sleep during the day (I work nights) and use them in both ears. It's silent. I can't hear anything. These are good. I highly recommend. I also have a child who doesn't like loud noises, and she used them during a fireworks show. They didn't fit all the way in her ear (I didn't force them either) and she said they worked well for her." —JASGet a bottle of 50 earplugs from Amazon for $16.49. A lap desk so your 'desk' can be wherever you want it to be. It's a lifesaver for Netflix-fueled paper writing in bed. After graduation, it's perfect for weekend emails, crafting sessions, or balancing your tablet while streaming a full season of your fave show in one sitting. Promising reviews: "I bought this for college. You don't always want to sit at a table or bar. It can be uncomfortable after a period of time. You can chill on your couch or recliner and use this. It works great. I should've bought this a lot earlier." —David"Going back to college has been a challenge for me working two jobs and having four kids. This has made it so much easier to sneak off in my room to do my school work!!!" —AshleyGet it from Amazon for $33.24+ (available in nine colors). A memory foam seat cushion that's basically an apology letter to your tailbone. You'll love it for marathon study sessions now, and it'll stick with you for remote work days, long gaming sessions, or anytime you're trapped in a chair longer than you planned. It's designed to relieve pressure on your tailbone, and reviewers say it's great for reducing lower back reviews: "I'm a college student, and I just moved not too long ago so a lot of my free time is spent sitting in my office chair (probably 10 hours a day). I have one of those gaming chairs that are really common, and in no time at all, the cushion decayed. This product has revolutionized my chair, making it feel brand new. I will probably continue to buy these over brand-new chairs every so often. This is cheaper and equally, if not more, effective than buying a new chair. 💯!" —cody"I broke my tailbone and was in excruciating pain for over 4 months. I got this cushion when I first broke it and was able to sit down, and it was AMAZING. Seriously!!! It allowed my tailbone to heal because it wasn't pressed down on when I sat down. It's been over 6 months (still in pain, but it's way less pain), and I use it every single day. It got me through some of my studies as a college student with mostly online classes. I now bring the cushion to the couch, dinner table, etc. I recommend this to people without injuries, too. It has helped improve my posture so much and takes away the strain of trying to maintain a good posture if you are injured or just too tired to sit up straight. Love this thing. Buy it, please." —Kel. C. Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in six colors). A power strip so you can keep every gadget, charger, and hair appliance plugged in at once. It'll be a dorm lifesaver when you're sharing two outlets with a roommate — and in your next apartment, it'll still be the reason your phone, laptop, lamp, and coffee maker can coexist. This power strip also doubles as a surge reviews: "This is an excellent option for a dorm room. Dorm rooms generally have limited outlets, and colleges often have restrictions on what types of extension cords are acceptable. This round power strip works well under a small desk, meets the residential hall guidelines, and includes ports for directly charging phones and other devices. Perfect." —bsaucoin"Y'all, I have had this thing since my freshman year of college (August of 2018) and I still have it!!!! It still works perfectly and I love it so so so so much! It's an essential for me, and it fits anywhere; it's great quality! They can be heavy, but I think that's a good thing because it isn't surprisingly heavy in weight. Great for the price, and the cord length has never been an issue for me from the bed or my desks in college! 5 stars all the way." —Gabrielle JamesGet it from Amazon for $25.99 (also available in black). A swivel desk chair which nails the sweet spot between comfort and style. It'll make late-night cram sessions feel less torturous, and when you've moved on to your first real home office, you'll be glad you didn't settle for the squeaky, lumpy alternative. Promising review: "Excellent product for a reasonable price! The product description/details were accurate. I am a 61-year old female, who put this together myself in approximately 45-minutes. It is lightweight, yet sturdy. I purchased this chair for my daughter, who is a college student and studies long hours at the table. She confirms that the chair is so helpful! It looks nice, too." —CherylGet it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in white). A pair of blue light–blocking glasses to save your eyes from the endless hours of screen time that college life demands. They'll carry you through late-night essay edits, gaming breaks, and online lectures, then stick around for your first desk job when spreadsheets and Zoom calls are your new professors. Electronic devices emit a lot of blue light, which your eyes do a terrible job of blocking. Over time, blue light may strain your eyes and lead to macular degeneration, the leading cause of vision loss. Computer glasses that filter blue light can help reduce the amount of blue light you're exposed to, plus you don't need a prescription to wear them and they work even if you're already wearing review: "I work at a job that requires me to look at screens pretty much all day. I'm also a college student who takes my classes online and looks at my phone regularly. I began getting increasingly bad headaches and researched possible explanations. Constant blue light screen exposure was the most likely for my specific lifestyle. Since getting these glasses, my frequency and severity of headaches has gone completely down from before. Not only that, these glasses are adorable and can fit just about any face shape. Great quality and work wonderfully. Highly recommend." —MadisonGet them from Amazon for $11.19+ (available in 34 colors and styles). A cold brew maker here to single-handedly slash your coffee shop spending. Freshman year, it's your antidote to overpriced campus lattes; later, it's your secret weapon for Monday mornings when you'd rather roll out of bed than roll into a café line. It brews a quart (4 cups), so you should have enough java to get you through the day (and maybe some left over to share with your favorite coworker).Promising review: "Bought this several times. Originally recommended by a friend and now we can't live without it! So easy to use and no bitterness. Only problem is we go through the cold brew so fast I usually put it in a separate pitcher so I can start brewing the next batch so we never run out!. We ended up using it so much I had to buy my daughter her own to take to college. The pitcher is plastic and I was initially disappointed but it turns out it is so much better in plastic and easy to use and clean." —OCMomEsqGet it from Amazon for $24.14+ (available in two sizes and three colors). A white-noise machine for transforming chaotic dorm acoustics into a calming backdrop of rain, ocean waves, or gentle thunder. After graduation, it'll keep your sleep sacred in noisy apartment buildings, during hotel stays, or even in your own home when the neighbors get too chatty. It has six built-in sleep sounds — rain, brook, ocean, thunder, white noise, and summer night — as well as an auto-off timer that you set for 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Plus, it's lightweight and portable so you can bring good sleep with you reviews: "This product is amazing as I have just moved into my college apartment. It perfectly drowns out the noise as you can adjust the volume and change sounds depending on which in you like. Personally I enjoy the white noise feature and I leave it on all night. I also chose to plug it into an outlet since it comes with the plug and block but you may also decide to use batteries. If you use batteries I suggest you leave it on the timer setting which allows for a 15,30, or 60 minute timer and then it will automatically turn off. It's been a game changer for my sleep and I highly recommend!!!" —Gianna Moraci"I use this every night! My roommate in college got me hooked on a rain machine to help me sleep and even years later, I still have to have it to sleep! Great quality and awesome functionality." —amb0319Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors). A truly ~egg-cellent~ rapid egg cooker you can count on to make a delicious breakfast happen in literal minutes. You'll rely on it for quick protein before class now, then keep it in rotation for speedy brunches, packed mornings, or lazy Sunday omelets well into adulthood. Promising review: "I got one as a gift in college, and my roommates and I ate so many eggs throughout the busy year, and I decided to get a second one for my mom. When we graduated, my former roommate said she also got one. Once you have one, you can't go back. It's so useful if you want a quick snack or addition to a meal, especially when you're busy with other things." —Joanne AhnGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).Check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review for more deets! A heavy-duty alarm clock that can *shake* you awake when your willpower won't. Ideal for making sure you never miss an exam, and equally valuable years later when you have to catch an early flight or log in for a 7 a.m. meeting. Promising reviews: "I got this for my son, who is such a deep sleeper. He's at college now and there's no one to wake him up 10x every morning, just to fall back asleep. He texted me this morning and said that it was incredible! Said 5 units away from his apartment properly heard it, but it works!" —Katheryn Webster"This is the best alarm clock I have yet to own. I am a college student and there have been times when I would sleep through my alarms and would miss class. I tried different methods, like changing up my alarm and setting one far away. I even used an alarm app that made me solve math problems to turn it off, but that failed because I would just delete the app in my sleep to shut it up. This alarm clock has been a lifesaver in making sure I wake up in time for class. It always startles me awake and gets my heart racing, so I don't even feel like going back to sleep. I like how it has the option for you to choose the pitch of your alarm if you choose to use the you are a heavy sleeper, have trouble getting up in the morning, and have a risk of sleeping through your alarm, this is the alarm clock for you!" —Thomas RGet it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in six colors). A mug warmer here to rescue your coffee from the fate of going lukewarm mid-sip. In college, it'll be your desk mate during late-night cram sessions; later, it'll keep you caffeinated and happy through endless meetings or cozy weekends staying in and reading. This mug warmer does *not* have an auto-off feature, so we recommend also getting an auto-off outlet if you're prone to forgetting to unplug review: "I bought one of these before I went to college. It's been about 10 years and it's still going strong. I use it almost every day at work and have used it pretty consistently over the last decade. No issues whatsoever with overheating (even when I accidentally leave it on for longer than planned), and it keeps my drinks perfect. I also have one of those cute little iron teapots, and it keeps that thing perfectly warm for hours and hours. When (if?) mine dies, I will definitely buy another. I got my grandma a much more expensive one from Sharper Image, and it doesn't keep things nearly as warm, and it randomly shuts itself off every hour or so. This one isn't flashy, but it's definitely a great simple little gadget." —AlisonGet it from Amazon for $11.99. A three-tier rolling cart that turns 'where do I stash all my stuff?' into 'dang, I'm finally organized.' It'll corral your dorm toiletries, snacks, and mini-fridge essentials now, and later cruise beside your bedroom dresser, hold your kitchen gadgets, or even act as a mobile office triage station during those early WFH days.

A microwave pasta cooker guaranteed to take you from hungry to carb-loaded without dirtying half the kitchen. It'll see you through dorm dinners *and* those nights when you just want comfort food without the whole boiling-water ordeal. Read our Fasta Pasta Microwave Cooker review for more!Promising review: "When I first bought these, I was in the position where I needed to cook all of my meals in a college dorm without a kitchen and with limitations on which types of appliances I could purchase. I had a microwave, a toaster oven, a coffee maker, and a to say, this microwavable pasta maker saved my life in college.I cooked pasta (and ravioli/tortellini!) for nearly all of my meals, and this little tool made that process SO easy for me, AND could hold a hefty few servings of pasta on top of that! I just filled it with as much pasta as I needed to prepare, filled with water, added a splash of olive oil to prevent sticking, and my pasta was done in minutes! No waiting for a pot to boil, no needing to set a timer to avoid forgetting about your pasta, no need for a separate pot and strainer, AND it was super easy to clean." —Brenda PelletierGet it from Amazon for $16.99. A memory foam mattress topper for transforming a dorm-issued slab into a bed you actually want to sleep in. And once you've moved, it'll follow you to your first apartment, guest room, or anywhere a little extra cloud-like comfort is needed. Promising reviews: "I was in search of a mattress topper when moving off to college and this one has satisfied all of my needs. It has just the right amount of firmness and softness allowing for a good nights sleep. After placing this mattress topper on top of my hard mattress, I no longer experienced restless nights of sleep. I would highly recommend this product if you are moving into a dorm or apartment." —Brynlee Urbantke"AMAZING! It slides around a little bit and that's the only con. I got it for college and it's so amazing I'm getting one for my bed at home while I'm there in the summer too. Very comfortable and soft, I was worried but I'm glad it worked out exactly how I wanted it." —Liz a two-inch topper from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes twin–California king as well as a three-inch-thick version). A velvety soft microfiber duvet ready to earn permanent status in your bedding lineup. You'll love it for movie nights in your dorm now (and using it to make your bed for years to come). Promising reviews: "I bought this comforter for my son for college and it is perfect! It's medium warmth, very soft and fluffy. Exactly what I was looking for. The square stitching keeps the stuffing perfectly in place. My favorite feature is the loops on the corners that tie to a duvet cover to keep the comforter from shifting. I loved this comforter so much, I ordered one for my other son and am going to order one for every other bed in the house. An amazing find! Love everything about it!" —Sonja M. Ocker"Bought it for my daughter's college apartment. She absolutely loves it! Super comfortable! Not too warm. Perfect!! She wants to buy another for her bed at home for when she visits! :)" —Shannon D. Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes twin–California king and six colors). A combination oil diffuser and humidifier for when your dorm smells… lived in. It'll make your air fresher, your room calmer, and your sleep better — and you'll keep it for every future home that needs a little mood and moisture boost. Promising review: "I bought this as a gift for my teenage daughter, and she loves it! I also purchased a set of essential oils. The scent is very light, not too strong and very spa like. I like to borrow it whenever I take a hot bath. The colors are beautiful and makes it extremely pleasing to the eye. I now want to purchase one for myself, especially since I know she will be taking it with her when she leaves for college!" —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three colors). A Brita water dispenser proving staying hydrated doesn't have to mean hauling 24-packs of plastic bottles up three flights of stairs. You'll appreciate it in the dorms, and even more in your own kitchen years later when cold, clean water is just a fridge-door pull away. A huge backpack laundry bag that lets you transport a week's (or two's) worth of clothes without breaking your back. Great for laundry room treks in college, and just as handy for trips to the laundromat or packing up linens as a grown-up. A pair of hybrid over-ear headphones here to turn any noisy dorm hall into a personal study bubble. With up to 60 hours of juice (40 with noise cancelling on) and fast-charging that gives you four hours of playback from just five minutes plugged in, they're a nonnegotiable for late-night cramming (and they're not going anywhere when you start making caffeine-fueled commutes). Promising review: "I bought my college-age son a pair of these, and he liked them so much, I bought myself a pair and I'm glad I did. I use them mostly at the gym and the sound quality is very good. They are comfortable to wear and have a very good battery life. The noise cancelling mode is great, knocking out most of the background noise you hear, so I'm not blasting them so loud. They are also well-made and sturdy. Would recommend!" —Gregory MGet them from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four colors).
