29 Things That'll Improve Life For Your Household
A box of cleaning K-Cups — if your coffee's been tasting a lil' funky lately, it's probably because your machine is overdue for a cleaning. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run! It'll rid your Keurig of old grinds and residue, help extend its lifespan, and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh!
A pack of stain-removing pads that don't require any scrubbing — what!? When you're halfway out the door to work and notice your puppy had a little accident on your brand-new carpet, just use one of these bad boys! Place it on the stain, give it a stomp to activate it, and the mess will be gone when you return.
A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because even though that savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and silverware, it doesn't clean itself. Just pop in a tablet and run a cycle (with or without dishes) to remove limescale and mineral buildup that's making your machine and dishes smell funky. No need to shell out for a new dishwasher after all!
An air purifier if you just want to relax at home but the dust lurking around has different plans for you — aka congestion, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. This baby captures dust, pollen, smoke, pet dander, and even odors (like the stink from your cat's litter box) so you don't have to live with all those miserable allergens and smells circulating in the air.
A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 147,000 5-star ratings (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it the "best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out!
A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray down your shower once a week, wait 8–12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to showers surrounded by scum, grime, oil, and mold, and hello to your shiny new tiles.
A set of kinda genius soda can covers if you're the type of person who simply can't finish a drink (guilty). Instead of dumping a half-filled can of Bubly into the sink, just snap on one of these lids and you'll have a still-carbonated drink left to enjoy later!
A Yonanas fruit soft-serve maker because your sweet tooth always craves ice cream, but you're trying to buy less Ben & Jerry's. This ingenious gadget can turn any frozen fruit into a smooth, delicious sorbet without any additional ingredients! Another huge bonus: If you or any family members are vegan, lactose-intolerant, or have other dietary restrictions, this lets you tailor the sweet treat to everyone's needs!
Some washing machine cleaning tablets that'll remove grime and odor-causing residue because yes, you should be cleaning the machine that cleans your clothes — oh, the irony. After running a cycle with just a tablet inside, your washing machine will be sparkling clean *and* your laundry won't stink like mildew after your next wash.
A set of wad-free pads so your sheets actually come out dry instead of as a dripping ball of fabric. These prevent your sheets from getting tangled and twisted up with other wet laundry caught inside! Once you use these and take out dry, unwrinkled sheets, you'll realize it was never your poor dryer's fault.
A compact silverware sorter for your kitchen drawer so you're not playing "I Spy" every time you need a utensil. Thanks to its stacked compartments, it saves so much space that you'll realize you can actually store other things in there, too!
An inflatable pool so you and your fam can take a nice little dip to ward off the heat. Sure, it's not an infinity pool, but who needs that when this has a ~built-in bench~??? I think that's equally impressive.
A high-voltage bug zapper because A Bug's Life made those pesky critters seem a lot cuter than they actually are. The blue-violet light draws in bugs, and the voltage zaps 'em upon contact. Now you'll be able to chill in the backyard as long as you like without swatting the air and looking like you're fighting invisible demons.
A bag of Dr. Elsey's premium clumping litter since no one in your fam wants to scoop crumbly, stinky litter, nor should they have to. This magical formula creates easy-to-scoop clumps *and* prevents odors from wafting around the house! Plus, it's dust-free and hypoallergenic (so better for you and your cats).
A set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets so you don't have to pull out your phone with messy hands after marinating or seasoning your chicken. It'll let you know the temperature and time at which to cook your food. Sorry Google, you won't be needed today!
A two-tier sliding shelf if you've made a habit of just shoving anything and everything under the sink, and there's an avalanche waiting to happen. This lets you see everything you own at a glance, and the baskets slide right out so you won't have to awkwardly reach allll the way to the back to find what you need.
A garbage guard so you don't have to deal with a swarm of flies and gnats whenever you take out the trash. Just stick it inside your garbage can, and it'll release an odorless vapor to keep those pests away (for up to four months)!
A set of two adhesive shower shelves because balancing all your shower products on the bathtub rim is way too chaotic (and you're tired of knocking bottles over). The adhesive is way stronger than suction cups (each shelf can hold up to 20 pounds!) so you won't have to worry about them falling. And the little hooks at the bottom are so handy for holding razors and sponges!
A hanging curved lounge chair to make your WFH setup a little less work and a little more paradise. 🌴 Thanks to the attached umbrella, you'll be able to enjoy the warm weather without feeling the sun beating down on you and your laptop. And on the weekends? This chair + a good book = the best time ever.
A memory foam seat cushion with cooling gel if you want your tushy to be cushy while commuting in your car, working at a computer, or even just eating your din-din. It helps support and relieve pressure on your tailbone, and reviewers say it's helped with their lower back pain!
A microwave veggie steamer so you can make a quick and easy meal, because even though you're super busy, you gotta eat! Just add in your greens of choice, fill the bottom with water, pop it into the microwave, and voilà — a side of veggies without any hassle.
A leave-in conditioner that detangles and revives curly hair. Though made for children, this bestselling spray is beloved by curly-haired folks of *all* ages. Formulated with olive oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin B5, it helps maintain bouncy curls and prevent frizz!
An easily washable drip catcher if you're tired of yelling at your family for leaving a puddle behind the faucet every time they do the dishes. This bb is a win for all — no more watery messes to wipe away!
A foaming garbage disposal cleaner, because even though you can't *see* your week-old pasta, that doesn't mean it's not still down there. Just insert one of these packets, let the water run, and turn on the disposal — it'll basically start self-cleaning so you don't have to reach down there and do it yourself, *ick*. Once you see the bath bomb-like blue fizz, the job is done, and your sink will be free from the smelly, backed-up gunk.
A TubShroom to catch all the hair before it clogs your drain so you won't be showering in a puddle up to your ankles. This cute little trinket just stays in the shower drain until the hair needs to be removed.
A jar opener because opening jars with your bare hands is a struggle that no one should have to go through — especially just to get one pickle spear. It's a truly magical product for everyone, but especially useful for folks with limited mobility or a weaker grip.
A eucalyptus lavender pouch to not only give you a relaxing, aromatherapy-filled shower, but also give your bathroom some unbe-leaf-ably cute decor.
A genius silicone freezer mold for saving hard-to-freeze liquids like sauces and soups, especially if you like to distribute them in portions. This will definitely cut down your meal prep time and makes for a quick, easy dinner!

33 Products *Thousands* Of Reviewers Love
A super popular ChomChom pet hair remover to pick up all the pet hair that is still on your couch with just a quick back-and-forth rollover. This little tool works on pretty much any surface — furniture, upholstery, blankets, clothes — and you don't have to worry about constantly ripping off *another* sticky sheet because one quick swipe typically fills those regular rollers up. (At least it does when I try to use one to clean my clothes...). A pair of high-rise, full-coverage undies that may not look like much but are *beloved* by reviewers for their comfort and coverage. They're designed to be super stretchy and breathable with a waistband that doesn't roll down. (Thank goodness! That's honestly such a pain.) And these aren't just great for every day; some say they are a must-have for maternity and postpartum! An OmieBox which takes the ever popular bento box but ~elevates~ it with a thermos inside so your kiddo can actually have some warm chicken nuggets or pasta instead of a soggy mess when lunch rolls around. TBH you can even get one for yourself so you don't always have to eat that same boring sandwich for lunch at work. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel so you can quickly and painlessly get rid of allllll your calluses. Reviewers praise this for dissolving dead skin in ~minutes~ so buckle up, your feet are about to be as smooth as a baby's bottom. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer, which will help make sure the smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. Affresh washing machine tablets because I feel like we never remember to clean the things that are supposed to be cleaning other things… Like, of course our clothes come out stinky when we've literally never thought to clean the actual machine. A tea tree and peppermint remedy soap made with aloe vera and vitamins C and E to help combat a plethora of skin irritations. (We're talking dry skin, acne, athlete's foot, jock itch, and more!) Plus, it's just nourishing overall for everyday use. Dare I say we have found the holy grail of soaps?! A set of cult-favorite, absurdly affordable low-cut running socks to add a little extra cushion to your feet while supporting your arch and your heels. You'll have a pep in your step knowing you won't be covered in blisters and your wallet won't be empty. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that is SO easy to use. Just throw one down the drain, run some water and the disposal at the same time, and watch the blue foam come up, cleaning out all the gunk and grime from years of testing new recipes. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara because idk about you, but the thought of putting on fake lashes every day sounds like ~a lot~ of work, especially when products like this exist and can give you the same look with sooo much less effort. A set of Wad-Free pads so you don't have to run your dryer like three times just to have your sheets actually come out dry. (Can you tell this just happened to me last week?) First Aid Beauty's KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub Exfoliant, because even though I promise no one other than you actually notices those little bumps on your arms, you want them gone, and all power to ya!! Reviewers with skin conditions like keratosis pilaris swear by this product! A set of safe-locking magnetic duvet pins so your duvet doesn't get all lumpy shoved up into one corner, leaving your partner to freeze with just the cover. Just attach your duvet to the cover and this'll lock it in place, and when you need to get it undone you just use the magnetic key to open it right up. A pack of hat liners designed to absorb your forehead sweat so it doesn't end up in your eyes. Not to mention they can help prevent that gross yellow stain situation that always happens after you wear your fave baseball cap all summer long. A game-changing deep exfoliating shower glove so you can finally ~effectively~ remove all the dead skin that has been building up on your body than you might like to admit. Is it gross? Maybe. But is it satisfying? Absolutely. A TubShroom to protect your drain from the *disturbing* amount of hair that comes out of your head every time you shower. Maybe it's just me, but I would rather prevent the hair from going down the drain than have to dig soggy, dirty hair out. Ugh, that sends shivers down my spine just thinking about it. 😖 A jar of Museum Gel so you don't have to worry about your cat, dog, or kid knocking over your framed photos whenever they play a little *too* rough. A bottle-emptying cap since somehow no one has designed a bottle that will perfectly empty out every last drop of the product?! IDK about you, but I would rather cut open my bottle of lotion than let like one sixth of it go to waste just because it won't pump out any more. But with this, I won't have to!! A set of bedsheet fasteners designed to prevent you from waking up in the middle of the night frustrated that the fitted sheet isn't staying ~fitted~ to the A box of wart-removing pads so you can finally rid yourself of the bump that has been tormenting you day in and day out. All you have to do is apply the self-adhering bandage and watch as the wart eventually starts to peel away. A DogBuddy pooper scooper to put an end to picking up hot, smushy dog doo doo with only a thin layer of plastic to protect you. This has built-in bags so you can just pull one over the scoop and bag the 💩 up. Reviewers also love that you can use the same bag several times during one walk! A three-pack of vintage-inspired sunglasses just as stylish as Ray-Bans *AND* they're even polarized! Yep, go ahead and buy yourself a few colors to match your outfits. A cult-fave supportive seamless compressive bodysuit that some reviewers are saying is just as good as the Skims version (and like half the price). It'll help support and smooth you either under your fancy new dress or on its own with a pair of jeans. A set of chic, highly popular wireless Bluetooth earbuds comparable to AirPods, except these are actually waterproof… like accidentally-step-into-the-shower-with-them-still-in waterproof!! You can even jam out to your fave songs up to one meter deep for 30 minutes. A set of sophisticated cylindrical wineglasses that are pretty much as aesthetically pleasing as a glass can be. Whether you drink wine, champagne, cocktails, or just want to elevate your soda or water, you'll feel far more ~bougie~ when you're drinking out of these (especially since you know you saved a lot of money not buying pricier versions). A set of toss-and-chop salad tongs to achieve those amazing, bite-size pieces (like the kind you can get at restaurants) because somehow salad is SO much better when all the pieces are teeny and easy to eat. These will work for everything like lettuce, other veggies, meat, and more. You won't forget to eat your greens now. 🥬 A set of satin pillowcases designed with your delicate skin and hair in mind. These will have you waking up refreshed and ~almost~ as put together as basically any character in a movie during those *I woke up like this* scenes. So no, you don't need to splurge on Slip, Kitsch, and Blissy (unless you really want to! 👀 ) A Cosori gooseneck electric kettle so you can brew the perfectly hot cup of coffee or tea at the ~exact~ temperature you want without needing a stove. Added bonus, this thing is gorgeous so you won't even need to find a place to store it — you can just let it sit out and serve as decor. Lumify eye drops designed to help reduce eye redness and dryness in literally UNDER A MINUTE. Like what kind of magical potion is hiding in this small bottle?! And if you don't believe me, believe the fact that it's the number one best selling dry eye product on Amazon, and trust me, there are a lot of similar products out there. A SlumberPod so you can finally get some decent shut eye on vacation when your kiddo would otherwise wake at the slightest sight of morning light. It comes in a pretty small bag so it can easily fit in your suitcase and you'll have it whenever you need it. I recently used this on a vacation where I had to share a room with my baby. I didn't necessarily want it to make sure she had a completely blacked out room, because that's not what her room is like at home, but because I didn't want her watching us while we were still awake hanging out. This allowed her to go to bed even while my husband and I stayed up reading or watching TV in the same room. Without this, IDK if she would've ever fallen asleep because she has some majorrr FOMO. We probably would've had to hide in the bathroom so TG we had this to prevent that, cause boy would that have been horrible. We did test it out though and that thing truly does block out basically all light, so if your little one is sensitive to every sliver of light this will definitely solve that problem for you!!Promising review: "The pod was a lifesaver during our recent trip to Europe. It's almost like getting an extra bedroom, it's refreshing to be able to turn on the light while the baby is sleeping in the same room. It also helped our baby take naps during the day by providing pitch black environment for her. It was easy to install and fit over a crib and a pack and play. We also used the pocket with our baby monitor. Super easy to install and still provides great visibility and no light leakage through the transparent plastic window." —CaitlynGet it from Amazon for $199.99. A container of The Pink Stuff because this slightly abrasive paste is literally amazing and can clean all the dirt and grime off any surface that you couldn't get rid of with any other products (without extra elbow grease)! A sunscreen applicator designed with a roll-on sponge so you can quickly and easily apply sunscreen to even the squirmiest kids. Just fill the container with the sunscreen of your choice and start applying with the sponge for the mess-free solution you've been dreaming of. A mini cake pop maker so you can whip up delicious treats without having to bake a whole cake just to smash and roll it into little balls. This will save you a whole lot of time, and make you a whole even selection instead of having a hodgepodge of some pops that are the size of golf balls and some that are more gumball size. This makes nine cake pops at a time! It features nonstick baking plates, a power light, a latching handle, and nonskid rubber feet!Promising review: "LOVE IT. I'm not very good at baking but my daughter wanted to bake cake pops and I promised her we would. Looked on Amazon and found this gem. I was hesitant at first but I'm so glad that I bought it! It was so easy to follow the recipes, to bake was like four to five minutes, so quick! The cake pops looked and tasted delicious! They were a hit even without frosting/candy coating. I don't think I'll ever order cake pops for a party ever again. I'll just use my cake pops from now on. Would highly recommend!" —Roxana SaraviaGet it from Amazon for $24.47.

Look, I traditionally have hated cleaning the floors, but I'm being totally for real with you when I say that this makes everything (ESPECIALLY MOPPING) way easier on my poor chore-adverse psyche. I've got enough to do in my day without adding *deal with gross mop water* to the list, and this eliminates the need for that completely. Promising review: "I'm really impressed with this vacuum! It cleans exceptionally well my floors have never looked better. The suction is powerful, and it picks up everything in one pass. One of my favorite features is how it practically walks on its own, making cleaning effortless. The battery life is great and lasts long enough for me to clean my entire house without needing to recharge. And the self-cleaning function? Truly a game changer! No more messy maintenance.

Or a freestanding Simplehuman hands-free stainless-steel trash can if you're like me and want a Fancy Trash can that's more accessible and you don't mind sacrificing some floor space for it. I LOVE this trashcan. It looks good, it's functional, and it's super easy to clean thanks to the design of the lid. No more gross, crusty bits collecting in corners: I can just wipe the lid like a normal surface and be review: "It looks like appliance rather than a trashcan. It is so convenient, too. The extra products, the deodorizer and special bags are an extravagance but make life so much simpler. It's hard to believe but I've actually invited friends over to see the new addition to my kitchen. It's gotten rave reviews! The lid opening is beyond smooth. Having a place for both trash and recyclables is handy.

A set of minimalist hooks so you have a place to hang your hat, your tote bags, and all those delicious fall coats that are just right around the wardrobe corner. A pack of light-dimming stickers I have ~personally~ purchased after seeing them on BuzzFeed dot com, on account of why is the little blue light so dang bright on every single electronic device?

44 Impressive Cleaning Products
A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. An impressive foaming drain cleaner you'll want to post to the socials — even if it pulls out some truly disgusting filth that you'd otherwise not wanna advertise to the universe. You can use it on sink, tub, *and* floor drains... and might just have you seeking out filth like John Waters. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover if you're tired at looking at all the streaks and soap scum on your shower doors, fixtures, grout, and basically everywhere else in your bathroom. One reviewer swears that you should "Buy a lifetime supply immediately." An instant stain and mildew remover to revamp all sorts of outdoor surfaces like siding, patio furniture, and boats BUT it'll also come in handy inside on surfaces like shower surrounds that seem like they're too far gone. Affresh dishwasher tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. Turns out, you don't need a new dishwasher, it just needs a proper cleaning. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you simply throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. You don't see them overzealously dumping, but you KNOW it's happening. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking stove top or a kitchen faucet that seems to develop a cruddy coating as soon as you blink. An incredibly powerful grout cleaner can erase years of nasty buildup that you've just come to live with over the years. This'll come in handy for your floors *and* backsplash. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad because WOW those disposable ones seem to disappear like magic in your home and, tbh, can't really tackle the weird residue all your hairspray and styling products leave behind on your bathroom's tile floor. A sturdy Pikk-It tool that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic cleaning cups to clean out your Keurig's innards once your coffee starts tasting a bit funny. A powerful toilet tank cleaner can remove rust and other mineral deposits. Sure, guests aren't looking in your tank every time you use it, BUT you know if it's looking gross or not. A dryer lint trap brush will keep it clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. PLUS, this is a basic safety thing everyone should do! A garbage disposal brush so you can safely clear the leftovers outta there without sticking grossly (and unsafely) sticking your fingers down there. (Go watch the great horror movie To Let and then you'll *really* wanna buy this.) A jetted tub cleaner that'll simply run through in a bath cycle and just watch the filth (from previous tenants) EMERGE from the pipes. Then you simply wipe it away!
