If You're Determined To Be At Least 50% Cleaner And More Organized Before The End Of 2025, Try These 44 Products

Buzz Feed21-04-2025

1. A bottle of Bioclean if you've tried everything to get rid of the hard water stains on your cloudy glass shower doors, faucets, tiles, and grout, and they STILL look like they've been through the struggle. It works on pools too!
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
Get it from Amazon for $19.77.
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
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $13.87 (available in seven colors).
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
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs).
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).

www.amazon.com
The small bookshelves are designed to hold up to 15 pounds and the large bookshelves are designed to hold up to 20 pounds.
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).
18. Some under-bed storage containers for when you feel like your closet is busting at the seams with baby clothes, stuffed animals, or pillows and everything is going to tumble over if you attempt to pull something out. 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
Get a 10-pack of small bags from Amazon for $20.99 (available in four sizes and six quantities).
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
Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business based in Dover, New Hampshire.
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
Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95.
21. A set of clear drawer organizers capable of working wonders for your messy (but for some reason necessary) junk drawer. With just a little bit of effort, you can turn chaos into order and find that lip balm you've been looking for without having to dig through a pile of sticky notes and pens.
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 has an adhesive backing so you can just stick it onto the side of your vacuum, and *boom* — you've got a bright, powerful beam illuminating your path.
It features a universal design that fits most upright, stick, and canister vacuums, including Dyson, Bissell, Shark, Eureka, INSE, Tineco, and more!
Promising review: "I love being able to see all the dog hair on the floor. Makes vacuuming so satisfying." — Andrea H.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three styles: battery-operated or rechargeable, plus a version that goes on the right side).
25. Or a robotic vacuum that'll stay on top of all the pet hair and dirt that gets tracked around your home. This handy guy features an infrared sensor for avoiding obstacles, which means it knows to avoid crashing into chew toys and furniture. And if you hate emptying vacuum bins (who doesn't?) you'll love the self-emptying feature.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It can clean on a variety of surfaces, including hardwood floors and low- to medium-pile carpets! It also has drop-sensing tech to avoid falling down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge!
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
Get it from Amazon for $159.98 (clip the $90 off coupon for this price).
26. An easy-access toy storage unit if "chaotic hellscape" isn't a strong enough way to describe the state of your child's play area right now.

Promising review:"I was surprised by how small the box was when it arrived and pleasantly surprised with how much I can fit! It's very easy to put together. Definitely recommend if you need to find a quick storage space for your children's toys!" — Triplets
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors).
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
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in nine colors).
28. A mold & mildew removing gel that reviewers say actually worked after they tried everything. This gel is designed to stick to those stubborn stains, working its magic while you catch up on some Z's. By the time you wake up in the morning, those irritating stains will be gone!
www.amazon.com
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
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
29. A slide-away storage bag if you've been looking for a legit solution to make post-playtime cleanup easier. Simply gather up all of your little one's toys, place them on the mat, and use the drawstring to neatly deposit everything into the basket.
www.amazon.com
Watch this parent's demo on TikTok.
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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
Get it from Amazon for $94.95.
