56 Products For A Clean, Organized Home

Buzz Feed12-07-2025
A durable honeycomb drawer insert, because it's borderline impossible to keep those sock and indie drawers organized, even if you're the most Type A human. These neat little compartments are designed to corral your socks, scarves, ties, undies, etc. in style, because a more organized drawer = a drawer that can hold more.
A pack of damp sponges that make dusting almost effortless (and are an alternative to the more expensive and always sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster). Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface instead of flying into the air. Just rinse clean and you're done!
A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and included labels so you can star in your very own restocking TikTok — even if it's just pretend. Plus, they'll look so neat and organized in your bathroom or on your vanity, and you won't have to rifle through your medicine cabinet next time you need a cotton swab.
Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately."
A foaming carpet shampoo people love to use on their car interiors. And with all the ice cream cones I've dribbled in my life, I can CERTAINLY understand why. And anyone with a dog? Yep, you need this. It's citrus scented so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "Old McDonald's Fries."
And a vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because your ride deserves to be as crumb-free as your home. This lil' guy plugs into your 12V outlets and sucks up all of the dirt, dead leaf particles, McDonalds french fry salt, and all the other detritus accumulating on the floors and seats — it has three attachments for detailing in alllll the nooks and crannies.
A retro acrylic beauty organizer *with a lid* if you hate the messy look of open storage solutions (that also make it much harder to dust!). This'll look gorgeous sitting out on your bathroom counter or vanity while neatly organizing all your fave skincare and makeup products so your morning and evening routines can be seamless.
A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad if you'd like to cut down your use of disposable mopping pads...without cutting down on the efficacy of your clean. Reviewers actually think these pick up more than the disposable ones (especially pet hair and crumbs), and clean up easily right in the washing machine!
Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that too, cutting through the toughest messes!
A set of Rubbermaid Brilliance containers to streamline your food storage cabinet once and for all. Once you try them, you'll be ruined for your old containers. They're completely clear, shatter- and stain-resistant (no lingering tomato sauce stains!), leakproof, and have built-in venting lids to make mess-free reheating (no microwave splatters!) a breeze.
And a storage lid organizer you'll wish you bought years and years (and years) ago. It'll end the nightmare of trying to figure out which lid belongs to which container (or losing a lid...sigh) and put a stop to the cascade of containers that rain on your head when trying to find the right size. Virgos, rejoice!
A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that does *both at the same time* (gasp), always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank) and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. And unlike regular mops, this guy retains 90% of dirty water, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. Monica Gellar would be so excited by this.
Or for automatic mopping only, the Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop with two rotating microfiber pads (they deliver 150 ~scrubs per minute~), easy maneuvering, and headlights built in so you can see every stuck-on particle and sticky stain that's in your path before it gets wiped away. There's no cleaning solution involved, but the steam sanitizes your floors!
A wall-mounted rack to keep your broom, Swiffer, and mop out of the dust before they can even sweep it up. And now you can actually (::sheds tear::) walk into your broom closet or pantry without seeing all the handles going this way and that — out of sight, out of mind (until your next cleaning day, of course).
A set of bed bands that will keep your fitted sheets neatly tucked under your mattress, if that ~loose~, wrinkly feeling keeps you up at night (honestly, same). Now you'll sleep more comfortably *and* be able to make your bed wayyyy faster in the morning. And as any self-proclaimed neat freak knows, making your bed is really the best way to start a productive day.
The Chom Chom, because it's every pet-owning neat freak's dream that shedding simply...didn't exist. And this genius roller is the closest we can possibly get to that dream. It has a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in just a quick roll! All the hair will bunch up inside the roller, ready to be dropped into the trash with the push of a button.
And Rocco & Roxie's odor-eliminating spray, an enzyme-based potion that feeds on the stains *and* stinks your pets leave behind (we love our pets! we love their messes...less) on tons of surfaces, including carpet, flooring, furniture, litter boxes and kennels, and more. If it weren't for all the cuddles, no one would even know a dog or cat lived in your house!
A Scrub Daddy sponge, because it is one of the all-time greatest Shark Tank hits for a reason, and the ultimate tool for cleaning enthusiasts. All the Sharks (except Lori, of course) may have laughed at first, but this smiley lil' guy just plain works on whatever mess you need to clean up — and almost 50,000 5-star reviewers agree.
And a Scrub Daddy sponge holder to keep your very favorite cleaning tool suctioned to the side of your sink, ready to tackle any grimey task you want to throw his way. He'll drip dry right in the sink between uses without leaving a mess all over your counter (ew!) *and* the area around your sink will look so much better free of clutter.
A self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush, so it always looks like it's *just* been cleaned. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*.
A minimalist silverware tray that'll help you save drawer space and keep the cutlery from becoming ~clutter-y~. This is so easy to keep organized, even your messy roommate/partner/family member won't mess it up when they put silverware away, so you don't scream in frustration every time you open the drawer.
An adhesive cord organizer you can stick right on any appliance that has an annoying cord that's a total eyesore or gets in your way — from your coffee machine to your vacuum, fan, or more. Ah, so much neater!
Hope's Perfect Sink, a sink cleaner and polish formulated to use on stainless steel AND porcelain sinks (plus cast iron, corian, acrylic, and more) to restore that just-like-new shine *and* protect against further damage. It creates a water-repellant barrier, so instead of your morning coffee, lunchtime soup, and evening pasta sauce just sitting in the bottom of the sink, it'll actually rinse clean with ease.
A Furemover rubber broom made of ~electrostatic~ rubber that's designed to attract and trap dust and hair. Despite the name, it isn't just for those with shedding pets (although it's great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleagues knows firsthand, it's also great at getting *human* hair out of carpet in just a few quick sweeps (once you realize how much hair is trapped there...you'll never be able to un-know it). You'll be surprised how much more vibrant and clean-looking your carpets and rugs will be!
A laundry folding board that'll take your already-good folding skills to the NEXT level. In just a few quick moves, every piece of clothing will become perfectly neat and crisp, and (bonus) take up less room in your drawers, closet, and even your suitcase on your next trip.
A spice *drawer* organizer so you can turn the messiest part of the kitchen into a clear, easy-to-read assortment of jars and labels. You'll save cabinet space AND never accidentally add cumin where you meant to add coriander again.
A genius cleaning ball you can just toss into your bag, give your bag a shake, and watch the sticky inside collect crumbs, dust, and anything else living in there. Ew! And you can reuse it over and over — just give it a quick rinse first!
A set of glass food storage jars with bamboo lids to make your baking ingredients, pasta, cereal, nuts, and more look sooooo much better, whether they're displayed on your counter or tucked away neatly in your pantry.
And some sleek and minimal spice and pantry labels to neatly display what your canisters contain in a Pinterest-worthy fashion, so you don't have to do a taste test to determine whether you're about to add flour or powdered sugar to your frosting...
The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that basically...works miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture.
An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part. Just squirt in some makeup brush shampoo (I recommend the EcoTools one!) and water, plug 'er in, press the button, and away the bowl spins, scrubbing your brushes clean while you simply hold them in place!
A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner if you love having a clean shower...but don't actually enjoy the cleaning process itself. Now you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*, waiting 8-12 hours, and then rinsing to reveal a cleaner shower over time. And it's bleach-free, so no harsh smells!
An over-the-cabinet storage system to finally neaten up your three curling irons, plus your straightener and blow dryer, so you don't full-body cringe every time you look in your bathroom cabinet. Bonus? No more tripping over random cords on your way to pee.
A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that'll deep clean your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk.
A set of Shoe Slotz for any Carrie Bradshaw with way too many pairs of pumps to fit into an NYC-sized closet, or simply to make the most organized dream of any limited shoe storage you currently have. Just put one shoe on the shelf, top with a ~Shoe Slot~, and stack the other shoe on top. You just DOUBLED your storage space.
Or a ~secret~ slim profile shoe rack, because even shoe racks might be too much visual clutter for you in your front closet or mudroom — and can make it harder for you to actually look through and wear your favorite shoes. Plus, it's actually such a chic piece of furniture!
A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser (it's pre-mixed so it makes less of a mess than the original powder), because it's a cult-fave for a reason. Seriously. It works on SO. MANY. SURFACES — sinks, cookware, stainless steel, faucets, countertops, tubs, toilets, glass, grout, and more — so you can get to work and see results with only one product.
The Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you if you're TIRED of all the dust that accumulates on your trim and baseboard every. single. day. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360° swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees, so you can get your heavy-duty cleaning done AND make regular dusting touchups easier too.
And for wayyyyy up high surfaces (including the ceiling fan), an extendable (it'll reach over five feet!) duster that'll get the job done in no time flat, no matter where the dust bunnies are hiding. It can rotate and bend at multiple angles, and it even has a microfiber head you can toss in the wash and reuse.
Washing machine cleaning tablets formulated to blast away any hidden residue or grime, meaning your towels will come out of the wash smelling like clean laundry, not mysteriously stinky. They don't just clean the drum, but in all the places you can't see or reach, like the washer pump, valve, agitator/filter, and drain hose.
And a cleaning gel designed to help you banish that icky growth on your front-loading washing machine gasket (just take a peek at yours right now, I dare ya). Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, and then just wipe away with a damp cloth — all gone!
A bottle of almond-scented Method hardwood floor cleaner to make the floors that have just lost their *sparkle* look shiny and smell fantastic (seriously, people looooove the smell) — just squirt and mop, no rinsing needed! As Ina says, how easy is that?
A bottle of Quick N Brite fireplace cleaner designed to remove soot, creosote, ash, and any other grime that's built up on your stone, brick, tile, or rock fireplace.
A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to remove streaks, marks, residue, and fingerprints from all of your appliances with *one* wipe of the included microfiber cloth. And it helps keep fingerprints and smudges away — reviewers say the shine lasts for days!
A pack of restorative wipes designed to make your faded and oxidized items look refreshed and brand-new — they work on vinyl, plastic, stone, fiberglass, metal, painted surfaces, and more — so everything from your car bumpers to your mailbox to your front door looks years newer *and* is protected from future damage. That goes for the outdoor furniture that you're taking out for the first time since last year, too!
A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers to streamline your closet, and make it visually appealing, so when you open the door, you see a beautiful row of neat, identical hangers. And bonus: since they're thinner than most hangers, they'll allow you to hang way more tops, blazers, and dresses (oh-so many dresses) in your space.
Shelf dividers so you can stack *HIGH* and *NEAT* without your teetering tower of sweaters toppling when you're rushing in the morning. No one likes a jumper jumble, and these'll help keep your flawless folding pristine.
A Bissell CleanView bagless vacuum designed with a specialized brush roll for picking up embedded pet (and human) hair, powerful suction on carpet and hard floors, and an easy-empty tank so you don't have to (gag) touch all of that icky stuff.
Or a basic Roomba robot vacuum (with 18x more suction and 33% more battery life than previous models!) that'll do the work *for* you, navigating around your home, picking up crumbs, pet hair, dust, and anything else that keeps your house from feeling clean on a regular basis so you can sit back and relax but still enjoy all the thrill of a clean home. It even works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it with your voice!
A three-part microfiber wand so you can dust your blinds, air-conditioner vent, and any of those other narrow, hard-to-reach areas quicker and easier than ever before. When you're done, just take the covers off and pop 'em right in the washing machine!
A set of three scrubbing attachments for serious cleaning jobs on your to-do list — you can simply add an attachment to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy.
Garbage disposal cleaning tablets that'll fizz up to blast off any stuck-on food particles, leaving a lasting lemony fresh scent instead of those gross sink odors that tend to linger...and linger... Drop it in, run your disposal, and you're done.
A dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant to remove limescale, rust, grease, and other nasty buildup so your machine runs more efficiently than ever — while you just sit back and relax.
A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which includes cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of baked- and caked-on food from any smooth range — no matter how long it's been there and what other cleaning products and DIY solutions you've tried in the past.
A 20-pack of extra-thick melamine cleaning pads that'll tackle your toughest messes — from your sneakers to your stove to your walls — just with a little water and elbow grease. Everything will be cleaner than ever, and you'll save money compared to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers — I call that a win-win.
Chomp!, a stain remover designed to pull up those annoying oil- and petroleum-based messes from concrete and brick, so your outdoor space looks refreshed! Just cover the stain, let it dry, and you'll be able to brush it away (like chalk dust!) to find the stain gone.

News about Bill Gates' absurd perks from McDonald's sparks outrage: 'I've never found one person who could give me a genuinely good reason'

A recent post about billionaires receiving free McDonald's for life brought up hard feelings on social media, with many questioning why the ultra-wealthy get special perks while food waste and hunger remain massive issues. The controversy began when an X user shared that Bill Gates holds one of McDonald's Gold Cards, which grants the owner free meals for life. They also noted that Warren Buffett has one of the cards. The post gained over 8.6 millions views — and sparked heated debates around inequality. One user responded with frustration: "They give billionaires free food for life but throw away good food that could feed the homeless ok bro." The message garnered 42,000 reposts and 376,000 likes. The Gold Card represents a striking contradiction in how society treats wealth and waste. While billionaires enjoy lifetime dining privileges, restaurants discard millions of pounds of perfectly edible food annually; those in the United States alone waste 11.4 million tons of food per year. Food waste can have serious environmental consequences. Food decomposing in landfills produces methane gas, a pollutant 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat. Meanwhile, producing food that gets tossed wastes enormous amounts of water, energy, and land resources — let alone human time and labor — that could be used to support sustainable food systems. Over 47 million Americans experience food insecurity annually, including 1 in 5 children. Programs that redirect surplus food to those in need help to address both waste and hunger across the nation. Social media users voiced their frustrations. "I've never found one person who could give me a genuinely good reason as to why people who have amassed such a fortune deserve free food ever," one said. Another replied: "Of course they do. Giving a billionaire a Gold Card generates countless headlines for them, and by extension, millions of dollars worth of free advertisement." "Companies have to [throw] away food at the end of the day due to government health regulations," someone else noted. While it's true that some large corporations are doing more to reduce waste and support environmental health, real changes start with the choices we make every day. Reducing your own food waste and composting your scraps can help your home be part of the solution, and prioritizing businesses that align with your values brings attention to cleaner shopping options in your community. What single change would make the biggest dent in your personal food waste?

Why So Many Restaurants Use A Red And Yellow Color Palette

What do McDonald's, Carl's Jr., Five Guys, and Chick-fil-A have in common? The easy answer is they're all fast food restaurants, but they share another common thread: Each chain uses a red and yellow color scheme. There are a ton of theories on why this is, but Chowhound spoke to Eddie Fahmy, franchise director of German kebab chain Döner Haus, to understand the true reasoning behind this phenomenon. "There's an old myth that red and yellow are colors that make people hungry and want to eat more," Fahmy said. "But, if that's the case, then every restaurant that isn't those colors would be out of business. Choosing a color palette is more about continuity with the restaurant's branding without creating a dizzying look." The atmosphere of a restaurant does play a role in perceiving food differently, but the correlation is not so direct. Rather than decorating the interior with a ton of red and yellow décor and paint, the color of the food is actually more impactful when it comes to appeal and increasing appetite. A study published via Research Gate found that when participants were shown photos of food with either a warm (red, yellow, orange) or cool (blue, green, purple) tone, the majority went for the warm filter. Read more: 12 Fast Food Burgers, Ranked Color Psychology And Restaurant Color Palettes It's true that exposure to the color red can increase your heart rate and make you feel excited, while yellow is generally thought of as pleasing and upbeat. These feelings and sensations don't directly translate to making you hungrier, though. Some studies that have analyzed this, such as one (via the National Library of Medicine) that showed participants images of food colored differently to see if it garnered more appeal, were inconclusive, stating that further research was needed. When it comes to all of the best fast food chains in America, those using red and yellow know that, at the very least, these colors are bound to grab our attention. Stop signs are bright red after all, and it's the first thing we notice when driving. If you're driving and a big red fast food sign is on the side of the road, chances are you're going to look at it. Sometimes, a quick look is all restaurants need for you to make a split-second decision to stop for a burger. Read the original article on Chowhound. Solve the daily Crossword
