You can fit quite a few spoons, etc., in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow.

Then, they are overripe and nearly inedible. You tell yourself that you are going to make banana bread, but you never do. A couple of days later, you throw three nasty brown bananas into the trash. I saw these on some YouTube videos and figured it was worth a shot. WOW! I honestly can't believe how good these things work! I'm not sure what kind of witchcraft is involved, but I placed one into a sealed container with six perfectly ripe bananas and I was able to eat ALL SIX bananas! I ate one a day, and on the sixth day, the last banana was still perfect! It wasn't overripe at all! If this secret gets out, it will ruin the banana industry!" — Jacob King

I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great!

I have wide wooden blinds on all of my windows (and I have a lot of windows), and they're such a pain to clean.

And even though we run the self-clean option a lot, I figured I'd give this a try. Once it was done, I checked the barrel to make sure no residue was left, and it was definitely clean! Tossed in some rugs to be safe, and they came out great! Decided to do my hoodies that always have the spots on them afterward, and they came out perfect! Highly recommend!

It is now going into August, and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on, you may think that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow, does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH

Also very easy to clean after use. The large shaving head covers enough surface area, saving time, and the battery life is impressive. I was initially skeptical about how effective it would be, but after using it, I'm glad I bought it. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to extend the life of their clothes to make it look brand new!" — Alex Park

These 32 Products Work Scary Good, And We've Got The Reviewer Pics To Prove It
An exfoliating mitt you'll be able to see immediate results with, because dead skin will just clump up and roll right off the arms and legs. Reviewers say this helps with keratosis pilaris (those annoying red little bumps) and is a miracle for getting smoother skin. A tub of The Pink Stuff — it'll work wonders to remove dirt, oil, grime, rust, and stains from pretty much any surface. You'll be surprised that the ingredient list doesn't just say "magic" since it brings your things (stoves, pans, sinks, etc.) back to life with little to no elbow grease required. A fast-acting, refillable plug-in fly trap ready to catch all those little flying buggers that live in your house rent-free (so rude!). You'll be amazed and possibly disgusted at how many little bugs this thing can catch. An internet-famous foot peel mask, which will probably make you feel like a snake shedding its skin, but oh boy will this do the trick to getting all that dead skin off your feet. Leave this on for an hour, and in the following days, you'll see dead skin fall right off. A mold and mildew remover gel so you can actually enjoy your "me time" in the shower or tub without the scary sight of gross black stuff growin' in your grout.

Easy-to-use retainer cleaner tablets for anyone whose Invisalign, retainer, or mouth guard is looking anything but clear.

Pop one of these into a glass of water and soak your mouthpiece for a cleaner, fresher taste! A pack of two flexible dryer vent cleaners to really get in there and clean out all that lint you never even knew was stuck below your lint trap. @LintTrap you literally had one job.... 😫 but thankfully this works wonders and helps your clothes fully dry.

A set of wart-removing pads that'll help remove those pesky warts under your skin that just seem to never go away. Infused with salicylic acid, these work to help those annoying things go *poof* and vanish from your skin. A makeup cleansing shampoo because that makeup sponge that used to be light pink is... uhhh... far from its original color due to all the residual foundation, bronzer, and who-knows-what that's left in there. This removes leftover product and can even extend the life of your applicators! A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner, which works ✨wonders✨ on your couches, carpets, and other upholstery items since it literally sucks up dirt, stubborn stains, and any other nasty spills that have worked their way into your life. So the next time it looks like bloody murder on your carpet, this will do just the trick! A shower door cleaner that'll turn your what looks like to be frosted glass doors back into the crystal clear shower doors that you had on day one! Goodbye, soap scum and hard water stains, and hello to singing in the shower because did just the job. A hard-water stain remover since hard water with high iron levels is slowly turning your white tub into a yellowish-brown eyesore. This gel formula is designed to cling to stains and remove them without any scrubbing. A nail renewal formula if your toenails are starting to show shades of yellow, brown, and green... and we're not talking about nail polish colors here. This helps treat fungal damage and discoloration within two days, so soon enough, you'll be rockin' those opened-toed shoes with no worries! A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel to transform the bottom of your heels from looking as dry as the Sahara desert to soft like a baby's bottom!

You can use this on dry or wet skin — either way, you'll be amazed at the results! A stainless-steel tongue scraper because that thing sitting in your mouth called your tongue also deserves a little TLC. This simultaneously gets all that gunk off your tongue and freshens up your breath. If you love satisfyingly gross results, you'll want to add this to your oral hygiene routine right away! A hydrocortisone, no-sting pet ear cleanser since you don't really know what's going on under that ear flap until you take a good look. This helps soothe redness and irritation and is safe for pets of all ages. Plus, it can help promote healthier ears and fewer fungal and bacterial infections. A pumice stone so you can easily scratch away at those yucky stains without leaving behind scratch marks in the bowl. Those regular plastic bristles are no match for this strong yet gentle cleaner that makes your porcelain throne look brand stinkin' new (minus the literal stink). An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner if it looks like the food you just heated up went KABOOM! This mama will tackle any microwave mess with just a little bit of water and vinegar. Just heat her up for a few minutes and wipe away the residual food scraps. A gentle cradle cap brush and comb with a silicone brush to loosen up the flakes and a fine-tooth comb to lift them off of your baby's scalp. One reviewer said that they saw major improvement after just one use! Bio Oil, a must-have for anyone dealing with hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, or even post-surgery scars. This can help repair the skin and boost collagen production. If you don't take it from me, just take a look at the 39,000+ 5-star reviews! A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets with no scrubbing required: add hot water, let it sit for 15–20 minutes, and rinse away all that gross buildup. Not only is it ~so~ satisfying to dump out all the residue down the drain, but you'll have proof that you now have a sparkly clean bottle! A red wine stain remover so you don't have to panic and spiral into the thought of buying a whole new couch when you accidentally knock over a glass of red wine. This spray does just the trick for furniture and clothes (just spray and toss it into the washer). A piercing bump solution for anyone who wants to get rid of that little "accessory," aka the keloid that gets in the way of them fully enjoying their newest piercing. This will help stop the bump in its tracks, reduce its size, and let the piercing actually heal how it should. Dishwasher cleaning tablets because the machine that's meant to clean your dishes should probably be clean itself and not filled with residual food gunk and grime. Simply drop a tablet into the dishwasher, run a regular cycle, and let it do the work for you! A Dawn Powerwash dish spray if you've ever soaked your dishes, hoping that the food remnants would just wash right off... only to find that the pre-soak didn't help one bit (😣). Once you spray this on, just wait a few minutes, and you can just wipe away crusty messes! Plus, it works on a variety of other hard-to-clean surfaces. Terez & Honor eyelash serum to help grow those lashes to new heights! Just apply this along the lash line every night to help give you the natural falsies look. Reviewers say this is even better than GrandeLash! Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream with salicylic acid to exfoliate dead skin cells and glycerin and aloe for ultra hydration. There's no doubt that you'll be turning heads (and necks) when you start using this stuff on your décolletage. A flexible drain snake if you have globs of hair down your drain blocking the flow of water.

When you realize that the Wet & Forget shower spray is legit: Reviews for this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

I Swear By This Product For My Bathroom And Hallways — And It's Not Just For Kids
Few things ruin a night of sleep faster than waking up to pee in the middle of the night and turning on the blinding overhead light in your bathroom, jolting you awake and making it nearly impossible to fall back asleep once you're done. The same can be said for having to turn on the hallway light so you don't fall down the stairs in the dark when all you want is a midnight snack. Frankly, I had always assumed nightlights were for children who struggled with a fear of the dark. But when a previous roommate wordlessly put a nightlight in our apartment's shared bathroom, I quickly realized how subtly revolutionary these practical little gadgets are. I absolutely loved never having to turn on the overhead light late at night, so I could actually fall back asleep after a bathroom trip. I now swear by my GE rotational LED nightlights for my bathroom, kitchen and dark staircases, so much so that once I moved into a new place, I, too, wordlessly bought and plugged in nightlights of my own. I'm now on a self-proclaimed mission to convert everyone I know, because I'm truly convinced that they're a life hack. These nightlights come in a welcome two-pack (since once you realize how useful these are, one won't be enough anyway) and are light-sensing, so they stay off during the daytime and light up at dusk when a room grows dark. This style gives off 40 lumens of soft illumination so you can easily see and get around without hurting your eyes. I love how they rotate a full 360-degrees so you can direct their light directly to where you want it (I like to concentrate the light above my sink), plus they're sleek enough that you'll have room to utilize the outlets above or beneath them. These little home upgrades are so practical and affordable, I'm convinced they'd make great small gifts, too. While my rotating nightlights are my ride-or-dies, I've also compiled a few other great nightlight styles, including one with an extra-bright light and a dimmable, motion-sensing version. Read on for more standout options. Amazon These light-sensing plug-in nightlights are a bestseller on Amazon and give off warm white light to help illuminate bathrooms, nurseries, hallways, kitchens and more. They're also available in styles that give off cool white light or that cycle through the colors of the rainbow, a cool feature that's sure to be a hit among kids. $11.34 at Amazon $11.86 at Walmart Amazon This nightlight is dimmable, so you can adjust it from 0 lumens all the way up to 100 lumens. It's also light-sensing, so it'll turn off during the day and on during dusk. $11.44 at Amazon $11.44 at Walmart Amazon Life editor Kristen Aiken spotted these minimal amber-colored LED light on Eva Chen's Instagram and grabbed them up for a family member who just moved into a new home. The light-sensitive device will automatically illuminate when it senses darkness and has an ultra-slim profile. $11.97 at Amazon Amazon This motion-sensing option handily turns on its soft white light when it detects motion in the dark, and turns off again after 60 seconds of inactivity (you can also opt to turn this function off, keeping the nightlight either always on or always off). You can adjust its light from a softer 30 lumens to a bright 60 lumens. Its motion-sensing function makes it a great choice for dark areas like garages or even closets, plus helps cut down on your electricity bill. It's also available in a number of colorful lighting options (including blue, purple, green and more) as well as in a daylight white color. $12.99+ at Amazon This Affordable Grout Cleaner Has Jaw-Dropping Results This Surprisingly Chic $7 Pill Case Is The Most Important Item In My Bag Under-$30 Upgrades Your Bathroom Is Probably Missing
