Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles and sink/faucet. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" — Laura
"Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter

2. A sock and underwear drawer organizer allowing you to save time in the morning as you're getting dressed by finding socks that actually match. No more fumbling through a messy drawer — instead you can find what you need and get on with your day.
www.amazon.com
They also collapse to store flat when not in use. You get four bins: a six-cell (for scarves, hankies, and ties), an eight-cell (for underwear), a seven-cell (for bras), and a 24-cell (for socks).
Promising review:"I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" — Elizabeth L. Blackwell

3. A pocket-size Tile GPS tracker to put an end to those frantic mornings spent searching for your keys or purse — simply ring your Tile Mate using the free app and follow the sound to your misplaced items. And if you lose your phone, don't sweat it! Just double-press the button on your Tile Mate and your phone will ring, even if it's on silent.
It's compatible with both iOS and Android.
Here's what BuzzFeeder Tasia Bass has to say about it: "I'm gonna tell you now, I have a ton of these on a lot of things like my keys, my wallet, and even my Nintendo Switch. My mom always asks, 'How can someone so brilliant lose everything?' The app lets you connect as many Tiles as you want (thankfully). I actually found out about these right before I was going to Japan. A friend recommended them to me and I am so glad he did because the airline lost my luggage during a layover in Vancouver, and when I landed in Osaka, I was able to give them the exact coordinates so they could get it to me by the next morning and I didn't have to spend money buying months worth of clothes."
Get it from Amazon for $24.98+ (available in seven styles and packs of two or four).
4. A pack of duster sponges that are super similar to the often sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster. With these, there's no need to juggle a bunch of different cleaning tools or products — just give it a quick dampen, and you're ready for a deep-cleaning session or a quick touch-up before guests arrive.
www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia
"I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer

5. A cable-concealing box because nobody wants to see a bunch of cords just hanging out on the ground. This box is large enough to cover a whole power strip, making your space look sleek and tidy.
Amazon
Promising review: "I bought it because I saw a woman on TikTok showcase something similar like this on her page (on how to keep a home tidy) and I was like, I HAVE to buy! It's wonderful! I have ALWAYS hated seeing all the clutter of cords stick out from cord extenders, and having this makes my small place look cleaner and more organized! I would recommend this for anyone!" — Chidi
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
6. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner for when you've had enough of your instant noodles having a faint tang from the burnt-on spaghetti sauce. All you have to do is fill her up with water and vinegar, pop her in the microwave, and within minutes the steam will soften up all the stuck-on food and you can wipe it away with ease.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors).
7. A wall-mounted organizing rack, aka the missing piece to your cleaning puzzle. This handy little contraption is a game changer for anyone who wants to keep their cleaning tools organized and easily accessible. No more digging through a pile of brooms and Swiffers to find the one you need.
All the instructions and mounting hardware to install are included!
This comes from Berry Ave, a small business that makes organization products.
Promising review:"Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage, and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down was able to fit them neatly in the holder. I liked it so much that I'm going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed. The installation kit was very helpful and I was able to install it without using a drill." — Rob C
Get it from Amazon for $11.71 (available in four colors).
8. A fume-free oven cleaner you can let sit overnight to wipe away years of spills and burnt bits. As an added bonus, you can clean out your disaster zone of an oven without being left with a headache from the fumes. It'll be so clean in there, it'll practically look brand new.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, 'You'll clean it tomorrow.' As you all know, that's code for someday.
"This one was the oven cleaner I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
9. A surprisingly sleek and stylish entryway shoe organizer if you're tired of tripping over shoes every time you walk into your apartment. It's designed with two convenient flip-out drawers that can hold up to 12 pairs of shoes; plus, it doubles as a versatile hub for all your daily must-haves: car keys, mail, dog leashes, you name it!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Check out an unboxing and get a closer look at it on TikTok! Of course, you could also position two of these side by side if you have the space.
These feature interior shelves that can be adjusted or removed, depending on the type and size of shoes you want to store. The graphic above (and on the listing) shows what shoe sizes can be accommodated!
Promising review: "Obsessed with this cabinet. The quality is great for the price and it's so stylish and doesn't take up much space for the storage it provides! I added little hooks on the side to be able to hang dog leashes. The only con would be if you have large feet you aren't going to be able to fit as many pairs of shoes in. My size 10s fit just right, but my husbands shoes sometimes have to go sideways so can only fit 1–3 pairs in the bottom drawer. But still better than on the floor!" — Nancy
Get it from Amazon for $112.99 (available in two colors).
10. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox toilet wand starter kit complete with a wand, six disposable heads infused with cleaner, and a caddy for storage. Just snap on a cleaning head, scrub away all the yuck and gunk, and then toss the used head into the trash. No more dirty rags or sponges that need to be sanitized or thrown away!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
I also use these for quick touch-ups in my shower in between deep cleans when I don't feel like pulling out a scrub brush!
Promising review:"Let's be real – cleaning toilets is a necessary evil. There is nothing that I hated doing more. I used to avoid Clorox wands due to the price of the scrubbing heads. Why spend that money when you can use your traditional toilet bowl cleaner for way cheaper? Because it makes it SO EASY. No need to deal with gloves, messy toilet bowl cleaners, keeping bristles of a brush clean, keeping the brush and container dry so it's not gross, etc. These wands take the YUCK out of cleaning it. I'd rather pay the few extra bucks each month to be less grossed out. I have one for each bathroom, but you could use one head for two toilets if you really wanted to. If you dislike cleaning toilet bowls the traditional way as much as I do, buy this product. You won't regret it." — Emily J.
Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $11.98.
11. A pair of wicker baskets so you can neatly tuck away your odds and ends, making your home feel cozy and curated when you've got a ton of stuff that doesn't seem to have a proper place.
Promising review:"Seem sturdy. Corrals all my closet items to give an organized and uncluttered appearance to my pantry at an affordable price. They're a good size, big and deep enough to be truly useful." — David
Get it from Wayfair for $34.99 for a set of two (available in four colors).
12. A vacuum cleaner for cleaning up the crumbs from yesterday's on-the-go breakfast, dust from who knows when, and bits and pieces of everyday life that somehow found their way into every crevice of your car. It's lightweight and comes with three attachments to help reach all those hard-to-get-at spots making cleaning feel less like a chore.
The kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), a carry bag, a filter brush, and a spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco
Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors, a cordless version, and a version with a light).
13. A set of clear shelf dividers to neatly fold and separate your blouses from your jeans, your hoodies from your sweatpants, and everything in between.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Love these acrylic shelf dividers! They make my closet look so neat and organized. I used them to divide shelves that hold my folded workout tops. I used a folding helper tool like the ones retail stores use, which gives my folded clothes a uniform width/look, and by using two dividers on each shelf, I can fit three stacks perfectly on my 30-inch wide shelves. I am ordering more to add to my shelves with sweaters!" — Aimee Lonergan
Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and in various packs).
14. For pet owners: The *iconic* ChomChom roller (with over 147,000 5-star ratings!) so you can take a quick lap around the living room, picking up every last piece of fur and lint on your furniture until you say, "Oh yeah, my couch was that color!" Unlike traditional lint rollers, there's no sticky tape nonsense to deal with — just a quick empty, and you're ready to roll again.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says, "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds."
Promising review:"This thing had been popping up on my feed for a few months, but I had a hard time justifying the price. I really do hate cleaning cat hair so when I bought my new couch I thought, why not? Holy cow. This thing is magical. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to vacuum my furniture. Then I'd have to pick off all the fur to clean the attachment. I only had the energy to do it once a week and my allergies are out of control (yes, I'm allergic to cats and I have two 😂). Now, I clean all my furniture at least once a day. It's so quick, and the hair is scraped off into a compartment that is easy to clean. I would marry this thing if I could, but that would be weird. So I'll just carry it down the aisle instead of a bouquet. It's worth every penny. Buy it." — Tabitha R.
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).
15. *Plus* a rubber broom for your floors, acting as a magnet to pull out all that pet hair (or human hair) that's made itself at home in your carpet (while giving your vacuum a well-deserved break). You'll be shook at how much more vibrant your carpet will appear! It also works wonders on wood and linoleum — the built-in squeegee is fantastic for tackling any spills or messes your furry friend may leave behind.
Promising review:"Holy cow! I have two dogs who shed a ton, a golden retriever and a miniature border collie. I bought an area rug about a year ago, and once the dogs started rolling on it, the color completely changed! I bought a new vacuum thinking that would help, I spent a lot of money on cleaning liquids and powders specifically for carpet, but nothing brought the original color back. I bought this on a whim thinking, 'Why not? I've tried everything else.' The first time I used it I got a furball the size of my medium-sized dog! And the same the second time! You have to put some elbow grease into it and go over the area multiple times, but my rug looks almost brand new! I think if I use it once a week, I'll be able to keep my rug looking clean. I also really like the adjustable handle and that it has a squeegee as well as the rubber bristles. It would work on other types of flooring besides carpet." — Destiny
Get it from Amazon for $20.40 (also available in a compact and heavy duty version).

Promising review: " In the last 10 years I've used them in three different apartments. I just put them up in apartment number three and was once again blown away with how awesome they look. Every time I put them up I'm like, 'WOW WOW WOW, these are AMMMMAAAZZINNNNNGGGG!!!' If you love decorating with books, this is a must buy!" — Jlands
Get a set of three from Amazon for $20.49+ (available in small and large).
17. A convenient, no-scrub Wet & Forget cleaner you only have to use ONCE a week to maintain a squeaky clean shower. This bleach-free cleaner removes soap scum, mildew, and hard water deposits from glass or tile surfaces without any overpowering odors. Just spray it on, walk away, and rinse it off the next day — easy peasy.
The key is to start with an already clean shower — then, once a week, spray it down with this for upkeep so you don't have to deep clean quite as often!
Promising review: "Let me be clear: I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name, oddly enough), and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to its original glory. Get it, use it.....but dang it, don't forget it!" — Randy B
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and sizes).

With these, you can simply pack things in and slide them under the bed for easy access whenever you need them.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn
Get it from Amazon for $11.86+ (available in three colors and sets of two or four).
19. Or a set of vacuum storage bags that can handle even the bulkiest of puffer coats. Your seasonal clothes are now compressed into a neat little package that takes up way less space.
Promising review: "I wasn't sure about this product and I didn't believe it would work, OH HOW WRONG I WAS !!!!!!!! I purchased the jumbo bags and I actually was able to place over 20 thick sweaters in one bag; three leather coats, five peacoats, and additional winter clothing into another bag. In total I had six jumbo bags in which I was able to store all my husband's and my winter clothing away, creating space and eliminating overwhelming clutter. I will definitely purchase smaller size, jumbo size, and all sizes to create more space and organize all my clothing." — VickyGener85

20. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner if you're tired of seeing handprints, paw prints, and everything else all over your stainless steel appliances. Spray them down with this, and just *one* swipe of the included microfiber cloth is all that's standing in between you and smudge-free surfaces.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review:"Stop looking. This is the best. I love my stainless refrigerator but I absolutely HATE cleaning it. Until now! I have tried so many different stainless products over the years and None of them worked well. This is the only one that actually cleans like it should. I also use it to clean my stove and range hood. It makes all of them look so shiny and new. Once you try it, you won't go back to any other cleaner. It's the best!" — Shelley

www.amazon.com
The six-piece set comes with two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins.
Promising review:"Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." — Sparkyj
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in 10- and 18-piece sets).
22. A powerful Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit to finally rescue your stove if you've tried every hack TikTok has to offer (to no avail). With the help of this cleaning solution and the included tools, you can scrape and buff all the crud away, leaving a sparkling flattop behind.
www.amazon.com
The kit comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cleaner, a grip pad tool, a scraper, and three cleaning pads.
Promising review:"Love, Love, LOVE this stuff! Who else hates cleaning their stove like me?? It feels like every time I clean the stove, it just gets dirty again. Well I found THE BEST clean for your stove top. I applied this once after having oil and food caked onto my stove, and within seconds of using the cloth to clean it off, it was TOTALLY clean. Seriously, this stuff is incredible. It also comes with a little scraper which is perfect for getting those little nuggets of food off your stove. Buy this stuff..you won't regret it!" — Meredith B
Get the kit from Amazon for $15.48.
23. An over-the-door plushie organizer ready to save you from tripping over teddy bears and stashing all the toys your kiddo will inevitably unwrap this season. This organizer has super stretchy elastic pockets with enough room to hold the tiniest Beanie Babies to your giant squishy panda. And it takes just a few minutes to hang up — like, you could probably do it during a commercial break.
Promising review:"My daughter's bed is packed with all of her stuffies. And her stuffed animal collection just continues growing every time we go on shopping. She loves to sleep, play with them, and jump on them. But it's not so easy to organize all of them. So every time this mess just makes me nervous. I needed a better solution than stacking them on the bed or arguing with her. And we found the best over-the-door holder. This fits perfectly on the inside door and holds all of her stuffies great! Even the biggest one. It fits a ton! It took minutes to put together and clip onto the door. I will probably order another one and you should." — Cool Momon
Get it from Amazon for $28.95 (available in 11 colors).
24. A ~genius~ vacuum LED light to illuminate your floors as you clean, exposing all those sneaky little dust bunnies and hairballs hiding in the shadows, thinking they're safe.

It features a universal design that fits most upright, stick, and canister vacuums, including Dyson, Bissell, Shark, Eureka, INSE, Tineco, and more!

And if you hate emptying vacuum bins (who doesn't?) you'll love the self-emptying feature.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review:"I just had my hardwood floors refinished and got the one large area rug in my house deep cleaned. I have 2 dogs that were cordoned off in the kitchen for the whole time the floors were being refinished, except for the little trips in a hallway to the upstairs to go to bed at night and down in the mornings. The pic I have attached is from running the Eufy (Harry) for the first time after getting the rug back and putting furniture back in the downstairs of my house. I was appalled and thrilled! I have run it two times a day for the last two days with much the same result. Icky, but this thing is a beast. It is very easy to clean, comes with tools, extra brushes and a filter and I'm not sure how I have lived without it for all these years with dogs. I recommend highly." — L.Allen

27. A plush diaper caddy basket with aesthetic appeal *and* unmatched practicality. It has a wipeable surface — a godsend because we are fully aware that diaper duty can get, well, a bit messy — and removable dividers so you can tailor the storage and use it for so much more than just diapers. One reviewer was able to fit in eight onesies, eight burp cloths, a cloth rattle, a stuffed animal, and a large blanket!
Promising review:"This is my second diaper caddy to own. I got a new one for my second child because the last one became a toy carrier for my daughter. This one is beautiful and looks like the color that is pictured. It's also very sturdy where some are flimsy. I organized mine with the essentials. It's able to fit plenty of diapers, wipes, burp rags, diaper cream, gripe water, etc. which made it very easy to use and take all over the house. The dividers come out — they are attached by Velcro but are easy to put together or take off if you want to adjust it." — Katie Mabe

Promising reviews: "I bought this product after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but took the chance as I hate scrubbing my shower grout. I was surprised that it actually worked. The application was easy. The rinse-off was easy and I was left with the whitest looking grout! Ten out of ten, would buy again!" — Jamie A
"I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining moldy, but a little hit of this, and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" — Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is absolutely genius! This is the best product to hold your kids Legos! Any bigger and the bag would be to heavy to carry. I don't understand what other reviews are saying about not having the top close, yes the top doesn't zip but there is a zipper tucked nicely inside the bag so if it does fall over nothing comes out. Looks very nice in a bedroom, doesn't look like a toy bin." — Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $53.99 (available in four colors).
30. A set of brush scrubber drill attachments, which attach to your drill to do all the hard scrubbing for you, saving your elbow grease for something else — like popping open a bottle of wine after a long day's work of cleaning.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Need a drill? Here's a good one.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing.
Promising review:"I really am happy I purchased this! I had a nasty stain on our RV carpet and I tried everything to get it out. Nothing would work. I used this with my drill and carpet cleaner and it cleaned it! I did use the same carpet cleaner before I got the drill but no matter how much I scrubbed, the stain won. But this must really beat the carpet fibers compared to hand scrubbing. I have not used it for anything else but this is very cool attachment set for people who can use these to clean. Definitely saves the hands from hard work." — Ratatat
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in various brush stiffnesses).
31. A felt handbag insert so you can finally experience the feeling of glancing into your bag and instantly knowing where everything is. It'll feel like a mini miracle for your daily routine, preventing you from feeling like you're rummaging through Mary Poppins' bag just to find a stick of gum.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"My summer handbag has no dividers, so everything falls into a lump together. I was so pleased to find the smaller slender option for this organizer. It slides down into my purse with room on the sides to spare —this is exactly what I wanted since it lets me put things into the organizer and then other things outside of it on either side. I ordered the gray color and am very satisfied with the construction and fabric used." — Jay
Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in six sizes and 16 colors).
32. Some Goo Gone to remove that sticky (and stubborn) tape residue, gum, glue, and other questionable gunk that's clinging onto surfaces around the house. This stuff is like magic in a bottle, zapping away all those pesky adhesives without a fuss.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I bought this Goo Gone bottle to deal with stickers that I cannot remove from my potted plants. I would try everything: warm water, scraping them off, etc, and there would always be a little stickiness left on the sides of the plant pots, it drove me wild. The Goo Gone immediately removed all the offending sticker bits. I since have used it for a variety of things: removing stickers from shoes, various plastics, even glass.
" Where this product really came in handy in an unexpected way was cleaning the top of my kitchen cabinets. The previous homeowner had not cleaned the tops of the cabinets in the kitchen before moving, possibly ever, and there was a nasty, thick layer of grime coating the top that was composed of a mixture of dust and grease from cooking, among who knows what else. Nothing could adequately remove the layer of grossness. Finally, I had the bright idea to try this stuff, and it vastly improved the removal of gunk. After getting the main layer off, I was able to clean it with other cleaning products." — FlowersInSpring

33. A five-piece organizer set because you'll feel less stressed and ready to tackle the workday with a WFH setup that is oh-so put-together.
www.amazon.com
The set includes a pencil cup holder, a letter sorter, a letter tray, a hanging file organizer, and a sticky note holder.
Promising review:"I got tired of stacking papers and folders on top of a horizontal tray on my desk. The basket can hold file folders with tabs, which makes important papers easy to organize and find. No more piles upon piles. The tray is for my to-do items. I find myself leaving work on time and not staying late to clean up my desk. I have embellished some of the items with fake rhinestones and have received many compliments on the ensemble." — Kathy
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three colors).
34. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets — you wouldn't shower in a dirty bathroom, so why would you eat off of plates that were cleaned in a dirty dishwasher? Just pop these in and run a cycle like normal, then sit back while it scrubs away all the gunk and grime.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews:" I tried everything! Vinegar. Deep Cleansing button. Nothing worked, until these little magic tablets! Purchase them, you will not be disappointed. I have only used once as we don't use our dishwasher that much, but have noticed a HUGE difference since using the cleanser tablet!" — Meaghan
"Works really well! It's easy to use, can be done with or without dishes in there. It REALLY helped clean the dishwasher and now I use one each month as suggested to keep it clean. The glasses don't have that 'film' anymore (and I always used a rinse agent too, but we have a lot of lime in our water). I feel like the dishwasher is working better too, not that it had any problems before but it seems quieter now. I'm very satisfied with these." — BH
Get a pack of six tablets on Amazon for $7.49.
35. A game-changing cascading wall organizer making it so much easier to find exactly what you need because everything will have its own designed spot. Each colored folder is also slightly transparent so you can see what's inside instead of having to shuffle through each one.
Amazon
You can also fold it down and take it to go.
Promising review:"I have now bought 4 of these. I use 3 in my classroom, 2 as mailboxes for student's parents and one as extra space for important forms that I need handy. I also use one at home to keep mail and important papers so they are protected instead of laying around on a table or in a drawer. I like to be organized and these make my life so much easier. If I think of more uses I will be buying more." — bonfire
Get it from Amazon for $12.33.
36. A 20-pack (!) of extra-thick magic cleaning pads that are a real superhero when it comes to cleaning. No more worrying about the crayon marks on the wall or the muddy paw prints on the floor — these sponges will tackle all of that and then some.
www.amazon.com
Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos).
Promising review:"These pads work like the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, but they are cheaper. They are melamine foam, which works like an abrasive at a microscopic level. It won't damage surfaces, and for some kinds of cleaning, it's almost magically good. I had some stained coffee cups, and I tried EVERYthing to clean them. This pad quickly and easily removed the stain. This pad is way better than anything else for cleaning the soap film from showers and tubs. The pads are not durable, but you get a lot of them for little money, and one still lasts a reasonable amount of time. When they get worn, toss them and use another one. A fantastic discovery for me." — The Thinker
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.
37. A 52-week tear-off meal planning pad since you're already juggling a million things and meal planning feels like another chore.

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles).
38. A heavy-duty grout cleaner, which only takes 10 minutes to work its magic. Just let it sit, and you'll be able to easily scrub away the dirt and grime lurking in every nook and cranny.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product does what it says it does. When I bought my house, the tile in the bathroom is white with white grout. It has never been white since I've lived here for three years and I have tried everything all different types of bleach sprays tile sprays. Nothing would get the grout clean. I came across this bought it reluctantly, I also bought the thin scrub brushes. I let it sit for three minutes I took the scrub brush to it, and my grout is now white. You have to use elbow grease and scrub it but it definitely works." — Jackie Wade
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in bundles with a brush).
39. A transparent monitor attachment if you can't knock the ol' tried-and-true sticky note habit and the inevitable clutter that comes with it. It's basically a little see-through board where you can stick all your notes, to-do lists, and even inspirational quotes. No more rummaging through a mess of papers or forgetting important tasks because they're buried under a pile of stuff.
Amazon
Each of the attachment has a sticky film that's strong enough to adhere it to your monitor, but easy enough to remove that it won't damage it.

Get it from Amazon for $7.97.

And for another testimonial, peep this TikTok where it's used on the bottom of a burn-stained saucepan!
Promising reviews:" It took permanent maker off my wall after I tried everything else. Definitely worth it — BUY IT." — J. Baller
"I honestly ordered this simply because it wasn't expensive and I'd tried everything else to clean the awful hard water stains in my shower. Nothing had worked. The Pink Stuff? With a good rag and little scrubbing took it right off! I honestly couldn't even believe it. It wasn't a fast process, but it worked miracles. HIGHLY recommend." — Susan K

The large, clear layout makes it simple to use. It's helped my husband and I stay on the same page with our schedules. Can't recommend it enough!" — Always Meliss
Get it from Amazon for $319.99.
42. A discreet litter box enclosure to turn that eyesore into aesthetically pleasing furniture. This piece has a side cutout to allow your cat to freely enter and exit the enclosure, and cabinet doors on the front so you can easily remove the litter box when it's time to clean.
www.amazon.com
There's a removable interior panel and a cat hole on the side that measures 8.9 inches x 10.3 inches.
Promising review:" I agonized over which cat furniture to choose to hide my cat's litter box when moving to a smaller apartment space... I am happy I went with this one, which looks really nice. The instructions were surprisingly good and easy to follow; putting it together was simple. You can put the door on either side, and you can also leave out the middle part to fit a larger box." — Wynne
Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in seven colors and with or without a top that opens).
43. A thermal label printer I'm sure my fellow Type A people will salivate over because it helps you stay organized while eliminating the hassle of ink and toner — just load the labels and start printing!

Promising review:"This is a super cute label maker that's perfect if you just need to label a few things around the house. I personally used it for my card collection and it's worked great so far. The app was very easy to connect to and there is virtually no lag when printing labels — it's super fast. It's not very loud and is small enough that you can store it anywhere without it taking up too much room. The app is super cool too; there's a whole bunch of fonts and sizes you can choose from and each label is HIGHLY customizable." — Riley
Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in five colors).
44. An automatic pet feeder so you can schedule meal times and take the guessing game out of whether or not you remembered to feed your fur babies (especially on hectic days). One cool feature: You can program a 10-second recording that'll play back your voice saying something like "It's time for munch munch!" to encourage your cat to eat even when you're not home.
www.amazon.com
This automatic feeder can hold up to 12 meals depending on the size of each portion (you can choose from 1/8 cup to 4 cups). You'll need four D-cell batteries, or you can power it by using a wall adapter (sold separately).
Promising reviews:"Our cat's life is pretty much driven by food and the only way we've been able to keep her at a moderately sustainable weight is by giving her healthy food she hates and this pet feeder. Every time we come back from a trip, there are a few more claw and bite marks on it, but it holds strong. She's even tried to sit on it, but it's done nothing more than presumably horrify it a little. She used to move around the bowl so when feeding time came she could put her head where the chute is and feel the food rain down her head like Augustus Gloop in the chocolate factory. I would recommend this for anyone who has a cat who is consumed with eating and getting food. Her persistence has defeated every other one we have tried. Yes, it is expensive. Yes, it is absolutely worth it." — BMoney

26 Parent-Approved School Year Essentials
A school supply essentials box in case that back-to-school list is just too daunting. This case has pretty much everything you'll need for the school year and almost anything that'll be on the supply list so you can enjoy summer rather than fight Hunger Games-style with another adult over the last glue stick.

The kit had everything my third grader needed to start his new school year, and I didn't have to fight the crowds at the stores!!! 5 stars!!!" —Carolyn JacksonGet it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two other sizes). A gentle alarm clock that'll hopefully bring you much cheerier wake-ups than jarring beeping sounds. I recently started using this sunrise clock and THE CHANGE to my mornings. Even if your little one is too young for an alarm clock, just having one for yourself can make waking up so much more pleasant. Promising review: "This clock is a lifesaver! I bought one each for my three kids so they can get up on time for school, and it works perfectly! They love the ease of use and customization — and they are actually excited about getting up on time!" —KavinaGet it from Amazon for $32.88+ (available in three colors). A cereal dispenser so they can get themselves breakfast without a gigantic pile of spilled cereal on the floor. The added excitement of making every breakfast feel like a hotel vacation breakfast is simply a bonus. Promising review: "These keep my cereal fresh, my 6-year-old can use them on her own! It's truly a lifesaver!" —Allison MarieGet it from Amazon for $31.22. A breakfast sandwich maker to get you a hot and delicious breakfast rather than scavenging off of leftover cereal and cold toaster pastries. This machine makes amazing breakfast sandwiches in minutes — plus you can embarrass your brood by singing H-O-T-T-O-G-O every time you pass them a sando. Promising review: "This thing is a lifesaver. I'm a mother of four young kids, so I have resorted to eating cereal, Pop-Tarts, anything FAST in the mornings because I have lots of little people to take care of, too. For as little as one minute of prep time and five minutes to cook, I have a delicious and much healthier breakfast. I bought the single, but I am considering ordering a double as well." — it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in five colors). A hard-boiled egg maker so efficient, it takes almost all of the time out of making hard-boiled eggs for your family. Quickly make up to six eggs at a time in about 10 minutes. Perfect for any family rushing through the breakfast chaos — or anyone who has found their batch of hard-boiled eggs sitting in a lukewarm pot of water six hours later. 🫠 Promising review: "Lifesaver! Quick eggs and do not need to be prepped that much. Helps a lot when you are getting kids ready to go to school." —DeepakGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). A programmable coffee maker that'll help you set your coffee up the night before and wake up to your favorite aroma. If you're like me and have had too many mornings where you realize you forgot to brew your coffee until it was too late, it's time to treat yourself to a better system. Promising review: "What was I waiting for? I drink a lot of coffee. Now I've always had a glass pot coffee maker and briefly went down the Keurig road (hated it.) After breaking my third glass pot in the past few years, I started looking into getting a stainless steel pot. I saw a few with a water reservoir, but I decided against it. Good fresh water makes for good coffee. This one seemed to get good reviews, so I ordered it. Boy, am I glad that I did! The pot is huge (a lot of stainless steel pots were only 10 cups, this one makes 12.) The design is sleek and matches my kitchen so well. The auto feature is nice when I remember to actually prep it at night. There is a bold feature (yaasss!) The display will tell you how many minutes, up to two hours, have passed since it brewed. The best part, however, is the pot. It keeps the coffee warm for hours and hours. I have four kids and run a home daycare, so I don't always get around to getting my second and third cups until hours after brewing. And I hate microwaved coffee! This coffee maker has been a lifesaver. I can have my early morning cup. Get through my morning schedule and go back for another cup, and it'll be just as hot! No reheating! My only complaint is that I wish the filter were cone-shaped instead of a basket. Just a personal preference of mine. (I think the chance of grounds getting into the brew increases with a basket filter, that's all.) But other than that, this has been the best coffee maker I have ever bought." —JasmineGet it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in three versions). A set of refrigerator storage bins to make getting lunches ready a much more streamlined process. Rather than digging through the fridge trying to find whatever snacks you have, keep them separated and at the ready. Promising review: "The bins were a lifesaver. Now I can reach things easily by pulling out bins. The entire family found that this works better than reaching in the back of the refrigerator for things that have fallen. Now it is simply pulling out a bin. Also, it avoids standing in front of the refrigerator looking for things. The bins have 'like' items in each. I also paired this with the rotating refrigerator carousel. My refrigerator is now very organized and maximizes space. The bins seem very durable and are made of sturdy material." —Gorbla2Get a set of four from Amazon for $16.76+ (available in two sizes). A pack of silicone dividers so foods in the lunch box stay separated and less soggy — because no one likes soggy crackers thanks to strawberry spillage. Promising review: "We love these! Every Sunday, we make homemade Lunchables. We put crackers in the rectangular cup, sliced cheese in the square, and salami or pepperoni on the round. They fit into an airtight container to go into the fridge until the kids pack their lunches each morning. It's been a life and time saver!!!" —Erin B. LeggGet a 36-pack of assorted shapes from Amazon for $9.99 (available in various shapes and sizes). A lunchbox with an option to send warm food for the kid who likes to mix up their lunch routine. The hot cup has a lid to keep food separate AND is removable — meaning you don't need two lunchboxes when your kiddo decides to take a cold lunch. So many more lunch opportunities are in your future. Promising review: "My daughter loves to bring a warm lunch to school every day. We have previously tried other bento lunchboxes, but none of them keep the food warm or fresh for very long. The OmieBox has been a lifesaver! This lunchbox has plenty of space and keeps the food warm and fresh all day. It is strong and has lasted despite all the times it has been bumped and banged up at school. It is easy to clean and does not leave food residue. I will be buying another one for my son this school year. Highly recommended!" —Jesus CastroGet it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in seven colors). An insulated Thermos for sending them with something hot along with their cold lunch items. Although some parents love sending pasta, many rave about the ability to send some dino nuggets that are still hot by lunch! Promising review: "My child doesn't like many cold lunch options for school. This has been a lifesaver! I've packed macaroni and cheese, chili and rice, soups, chicken and broccoli, and much more, all with success. The container keeps the food warm, doesn't leak, and seems to be enough food." —OH ReviewGet it from Amazon for $15.39+ (available in 30 designs). A freezable lunch bag with built-in ice packs to keep food fresh and at a safe eating temperature. Just toss it in the freezer the night before to keep food cool all day — because staying home with a kid with food poisoning should not be on your agenda. This is the brand I use for both of my kids, and I absolutely love these bags. They're so easy to store, and there's ice on both sides — ensuring safe food no matter when their lunchtime is. It's nice to be able to send a string cheese without remembering the room-temperature, rubbery-by-mid-day cheese stick of my youth. 🤢Promising review: "These are amazing. I was having to put ice packs in my kids' lunch and was looking for an alternative when I came across these. It has been over 100 for the last two weeks, not counting the heat index, and they have been a lifesaver. They go in the kids' backpacks in the am and come off the bus still cold. This never happened with an ice pack. It actually stays cold and helps my kids to have cold food during the day, I wish I had found these years ago!!!" —BryanGet it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in eight designs). A visual timer to help keep things calm if your kiddo struggles with transitions. With a visual timer, "five more minutes until you need to brush your teeth" actually has some meaning as they watch the rainbow count down. I use this with my oldest on school nights so she knows when to stop reading and go to sleep. Promising review: "The Yunbaoit Upgraded Black Visual Timer with Protective Case has been an absolute lifesaver for managing ADHD in our household. The visual countdown is intuitive and easy to understand, making it perfect for staying on task and managing transitions. The durable protective case adds peace of mind, ensuring it can withstand daily use. Whether it's for homework, chores, or screen time, this timer has helped create structure and minimize distractions. It's simple to use, highly effective, and has quickly become an essential tool in our routine. I can't recommend it enough for anyone looking to improve time management!" —adudethatknowsGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in nine colors). A set of personalized labels so you can avoid the hassle of rummaging through the overflowing lost and found. I'm pretty sure my kids forget their lunchbox, water bottle, or sweater every day last school year — labels make things so much easier to find later. Promising review: "I've had these name labels for a while, and they're absolutely amazing. I can stick them on clothes, wash them, and they're still good. They've been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to school — teachers know when it's my child's, and it prevents it from being lost. I've stuck it on sippies, clothes, shoes, the outside of backpacks, it is RESILIENT and honestly, super underpriced for how high quality and the quantity you get. I'd only ever buy from this seller." — 130-pack from Amazon for $9.95 (available in 27 designs). An electric toothbrush that uses an app to keep your kid engaged and brushing for a full two minutes. Electric toothbrushes already keep teeth cleaner, but the addition of the app helps kids work through brushing without getting distracted or hurrying through the process. Honestly just being able to leave them to brushing without having to hover as the tarter police is worth it. Promising review: "We were having some struggles getting our 3.5-year-old to brush his teeth. This toothbrush and the app have been a lifesaver! He now looks forward to brushing his teeth and gets excited to see what 'present' he's going to get. Also, the app is actually way better than I expected." —Amanda P. Get it from Amazon for $29.96+ (available in two colors, two charging styles, and as a bundle). And a toothpaste dispenser and toothbrush holder to save you from trying to get out for the morning and hearing "CAN SOMEONE PASTE MY TOOTHBRUSH??" or the ever-dreaded "uh-oh" during teeth brushing. Promising review: "LOVE, LOVE this!! We previously had a different one similar to this, but did not have a toothpaste dispenser. I decided to try this one out because it matched and was more modern-looking. I am so happy with this! It fit on our wall exactly where the other one went, and we didn't even have to use the sticker. I love the four cops and how hidden and easy they are to access. The toothpaste comes out perfectly every time and does not make a mess!!! My kids love to make messes, so this is a lifesaver. I have already recommended this to all of my friends and family." —Lindsay SnackGet it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors). A day-of-the-week clothing organizer so that choosing clothes for school doesn't become a daily battle in your household. Just check the weather report and choose outfits over the weekend — suddenly a (mostly) stress-free morning! Promising review: "This has been an absolute lifesaver! My kids put all of their clothes for the week in their 'pockets' on Sunday and there's no digging in the mornings anymore!" —CrystalWGet it from Amazon for $25.99.

Now everyone can enter their appointments, work schedules, classes, etc, into their own Google calendar, and it syncs to the family calendar. Everyone is aware of what is happening, and it avoids double booking. App is easy to use, as is the actual device." —NH CustomerGet it from Amazon for $269.99. A shoe organizer to hopefully avoid the every morning battle to find a missing shoe. Not only can you keep everything in one place, you'll also free up your entryway from a sea of mismatched shoes. Promising review: "With three small kids and a husband with lots of shoes, this shoe cabinet has been a lifesaver. I built it on my own in just a few hours. I love it." —KatieGet it from Amazon for $125.99+ (available with two, three, four, or six drawers and 10 colors). A car seat unbuckling tool so they can unbuckle themselves at in the morning, ensuring that you're not burying your face at drop-off as you hold up the line to unbuckle your kid. The car seat buckle desperately needs to be one less thing you fight with. Promising review: "We purchased two of these, one for each car, and it has been great for dropping off our Kindergarten student at school. We are not allowed to get out of the car, so I was worried how to get him unbuckled from his car seat/harness, but this has been a lifesaver. It took him only two practices to get it, but he really picked it up quick and now he really enjoys unbuckling himself once we get in car line. We love this product!" —Alicia RosenbauerGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in seven colors). A rolling backpack because backpacks are just SO HEAVY. These are great for littles and bigs alike, especially if you walk to school. Nothing like saving them a few extra years before back pain sets in. Promising review: "My kids have quite a walk after they get off the bus. so this has been a lifesaver!" —C. it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in different colors). A wobble cushion if you have a kid who JUST. NEEDS. TO. WIGGLE. Desk seats were not made with wiggly kids in mind, so wobble cushions offer some much needed movement without leaving the seat and disrupting class. My ADHD kiddo pretty much lives on this cushion during the school year — LIFESAVER. Promising review: "My son has ADHD, and this was a lifesaver. Lucky for u,s the school approved it for use in the classroom. It's nice because it's lightweight and he can grab it and take it with him wherever he goes. The little nub-like fingers on it work wonders for him. It gives him something to keep his body busy and his little hands. Awesome find!" —LaKeishaGet it from Amazon for $23.74+ (available in six colors and in multipacks). A zipper binder to keep everything in place and zipped up so papers don't go flying. It even has a carrying strap in case their backpack is too small. Say good-bye to papers shoved down at the bottom of the backpack — they've finally thought of everything. Promising review: "This binder was a lifesaver for my middle schooler. The first binder we tried was NOT one of these. It was impossible to carry around, and papers were frequently lost. Then I found this. This binder changed everything and even eased my students' anxiety because it's so much easier to stay organized. The ring itself is sturdy and easy to open and close. There's room in here for work from different classes, and storage for pencils and pens, etc. There is a bonus section of accordion storage, which is excellent for take-home papers or other loose items. Then, it zips closed! This zipper is tough, and it seems to move with ease no matter what. And the icing on the cake is the handle on the spine. This makes it easy to grab the binder and stuff it in a backpack or walk between classes without having to cradle the binder in your arms. We never used the optional shoulder strap, but options are nice. This binder gets an A+." —Rachel WGet it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in 20 designs and in multipacks). A pair of noise-cancelling headphones for your sensory-sensitive kid. These headphones are powerful enough to dull ambient classroom noise, but still allow them to hear the teacher. Even kids without sensory sensitivities love wearing these! Every teacher my kids have had has a basket for communal use. As the parent of a kid with sensory challenges, these are an absolute school-year must-have. Promising review: "Purchased this back in 2021 when my child was 5 years of age. He's now 9 and they still fit perfectly on him. This has been a lifesaver for him and the bus driver, recently, since there are other kiddos on the bus that scream throughout the bus ride and it frustrates my child. So it's one less kiddo to be frustrated about." —NRDGet it from Amazon for $15.27+ (available in 19 colors and patterns). A set of clothing labels to help you find your kid's Bluey sweater in a veritable OCEAN of Bluey sweaters. These labels are machine washable and cost-effective — two of my favorite words. Promising review: "These are great. I use a regular Sharpie to write my kid's name on the label and put it on every article of clothing he can take off at school. I have washed them several times, and they still look brand new. These labels are a lifesaver for kids who cannot remember to bring home their jacket, hat, and gloves." —Kaitlyn SwoapeGet a pack of 54 Amazon for $5.99 (available in five sizes and various pack sizes). A pencil sharpener for at-home use because there's nothing quite as humbling as realizing you have absolutely zero tools to help them do their homework, you know, at home. Promising review: "I am 5-star satisfied with this pencil sharpener that is for different-sized pencils. We use this at home as I have a daughter in Kindergarten, so this has been a lifesaver. Sharpens a pencil easily and quickly within ten seconds. Love it." —Brittany AnnGet it from Amazon for $27.99. A saline spray because your kids are going to be bringing home literally all of the germs. All of them. EVERY LAST FORSAKEN GERM.

A lifesaver!" —D DGet it from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in multipacks).

These 20 Products Are Good Enough For "Clean Freaks," So They'll Almost Certainly Be Good Enough For You
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 washing machine tablets that'll help clean the giant appliance you rely on to freshen up your stinky workout clothes and all the baby clothes that are just constantly covered in [redacted]. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of gross, stuck-on situations like that bathroom floor grout you came to terms with being dirty gray forever and even the crayon art gallery on your wall. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads (that work with the Swiffer you already own) because WOW those disposable ones seem to disappear like magic in your home. No more running out in your time of need. A bottle of nontoxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover can make all sorts of horrific stains disappear quickly. *And* there's no rinsing or vacuuming involved. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you'll simply just 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 ~intense~ grout cleaner — it'll bring blackened grout back from the disgusting brink because you shouldn't want to wear shoes in the bathroom. A bottle of leather conditioner to revive your leather goods *even* as large as a leather chair! Welcome to your next project while you catch up on the latest ep of your fave true-crime podcast! A plant-based stainless steel cleaner + a microfiber cleaning cloth will finally help you get rid of all the little paw and fingerprints that seem to magically appear out of thin air on your kitchen appliances. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator can erase all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. A jetted tub cleaner you 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! It'll be equally horrifying and satisfying. Worth it. A holy grail soft cleanser will help you *easily* erase all those gray and rusty stains on household surfaces you came to terms with years ago. They aren't paying rent, so give 'em the boot! An upholstery cleaner to undo whatever it is your kids are doing to your backseat AND bring your formerly gorgeous steering wheel back to life. A makeup brush cleanser because you and I both know you're not washing your beauty tools as frequently as you should. (Same.) Better Life Natural All-Purpose Cleaner (you could spray in your mouth if you wanted?!) that'll be safe to use around kids and pets or anyone who's super sensitive to smells. A pumice stone can scrub away hard water marks and you should most definitely label as "TOILET" so people don't use it on their feet(!!!!). And in case the situation is a bit more dire, a toilet wand cleaning system with removable heads so you'll stop regretting your decision to potty train your cats. A drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. This'll handle all the elbow grease. Detail brushes that, when paired with some powerful cleaners, you'll use to bring your grout BACK to its original state. You forget it was white, didn't you?!
