Calling All Lazy Neat Freaks – These 53 Items Will Make Keeping A Tidy Home 10x Easier
MVP Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads reviewers say really do live up to their name. These pads remove gross pet-related stains, and according to reviews, they work on coffee stains, blood, dirt (new and old), and even red wine. All you have to do is place 'em over the stain and stomp — done! A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while! A sock and underwear organizer so awesome, you might just open the drawer and stare for fun. This set of four will make it waaaay easier to grab the *exact* pair of socks you're looking for and spot that one bra that fits you perfectly. It'll help maximize space in your dresser, too! An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that'll make it waaay easier to clean your microwave (so no more excuses!). Simply add in water and vinegar, then put it in the microwave for five to eight minutes. When it's done, just wipe clean! A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner because it provides results so good, you'll be left with a jaw drop like Kevin McCallister himself. This bestselling portable carpet and upholstery cleaning machine is *super* convenient and very easy to use! If you're a lazy neat freak who's tired of staring at the same dirt, pet, and baby stains... you need this. Shelf dividers to ~effortlessly~ keep your closet and cabinets looking immaculate while also preventing things from toppling over when you grab them from the bottom. (That saying "not all heroes wear capes" definitely applies here.) A hanger stacker — something you didn't know existed but could definitely use in your closet. Those annoying tangled bins of hangers are about to go *poof*! A reviewer-beloved 2-in-1 mop and vacuum robot you can let loose in your home to ensure every crevice is cleaned and free of dust, dander, and the occasional spill. If you let this run for a few hours every day, it'll cut down tons of cleaning time for you later! OR a reviewer-beloved, touchless stationary vacuum if you want an easier clean without a robot running around scaring the cat. This handy gadget takes away the need to haul a heavy vacuum around the house. With this, just your broom will suffice for a great (and did I mention easy?) clean! And a pack of sweeper slippers that'll help you do the dirty work while you're running around getting ready to start the day. The microfiber bottoms will clean up the dirt, dust, and hair you may have missed from a previous clean, and these slippers are pretty cozy, too. A ChomChom pet hair remover to make sure your pet's shedding does minimal damage to your clothes and furniture without having to spend an hour and a half cleaning. It's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new. And a rubber broom that'll easily sweep up that hair monster that's been living in your rugs. This handy tool grabs all the pet AND human hair that's been embedded in your carpet for a scary amount of time (even the hair you didn't even realize was there!). And while it can work on any type of floor, it's specifically designed to pull up hair in the most difficult place — the carpet. A cable organizer box to hide all those annoying wires and that huge extension cord that's always in the way. If you're tired of being distracted while watching The Pitt because of the bundle of cords that have a home beside your TV... you need this, like, yesterday. A universal cleaning gel great for getting rid of crumbs and dust in the tightest of places. Reviewers use it for car vents and cup holders, computer keyboards, and even musical instruments. A battery-powered Rubbermaid power scrubbing brush with stiff bristles and a powerful motor that scrubs 60 times each second (yes, per second!!). These bristles are specifically designed to get the tiny spaces in your home, like the dirty grout that's been there forever, the spot behind the sink you can't quite reach, etc. Laziness won't win with this in the house! A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamps that'll keep your toilet looking and smelling fresh for up to 12 days — which in turn, will help your entire bathroom smell fresh as well. Simply stamp a gel cleaning disc under the rim, flush, and you're done! OR for a more eco-friendly approach, a pack of six toilet bowl bombs with refreshing scent options like sweet orange and eucalyptus. These babies are made with a blend of natural, chemical-free ingredients that specifically remove bacteria and brighten surfaces. Simply plop one into the toilet, wait a couple of minutes while it fizzes and works its magic, brush the bowl, and then flush! Three simple steps and you're done. OH — it can be used to clean bathtubs and sinks, too! A self-cleaning litter box every lazy cat parent should have in their home! If you're a person who often forgets about your duty to doody, this gem of an invention will save you time, keep your cat's area clean, AND help prevent your home from smelling like a giant litterbox. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces. All you, the lazy neat freak, need to do is wet, wipe, and voila! Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason. A tub of the bestselling Pink Stuff for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. All you need to do is scrub and rinse to get things sparklin' again! It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls, so you'll no longer need 10 different cleaning solutions for every kind of problem. The Pink Stuff handles it all, and it doesn't get easier than a one-for-all kind of product! A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets simply because soap and water are NOT enough to clean bottles and tumblers (sorry to be the bearer of bad news). Simply fill the bottle with warm water, plop in one tablet, and then wait 15 minutes. These will make washing bottles — and narrow tea kettles! — much less of a hassle. And while you're at it, a bottle scrub brush for all of the glasses, cups, and thermoses you can't fit your hand into. The long handle design will ensure every inch is squeaky clean. A microfiber spin mop and bucket — this baby spins to rinse the mop with one step (literally), no hands necessary. Reviewers call this mop game-changing, life-changing, and all-around ~essential~ for household cleaning. A silverware sorter that can fit more than 24 pieces of cutlery, ensuring your kitchen drawers are *not* cluttered chaos. Many reviewers use it to organize chopsticks and reusable straws, too! Fridge organizers great for the neat freak who just loves looking at perfectly organized food, but can't make it happen without helpful containers for the chaos. With these, you can easily keep your soda cans, your yogurt, and more in their *designated* places. Plus, having a go-to spot in the fridge will feel a lot less overwhelming when looking for dinner. These organizers also have handles, so you can pull them out easily. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were (and do it for less than a tank of gas). Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away. Glisten disposer cleaner to get rid of the nasty grunge and odor-causing buildup from every part of your garbage disposal — blades and walls included! It's less work for you, and I've gotta admit, the foaming effect is pretty satisfying to watch, too. Some under-bed storage containers that store shoes, out-of-season clothing, extra bedsheets, or "to be donated one day" items away and out of sight until they're needed. They've got transparent tops so you can quickly decipher what's inside, and handles in front so you can simply slide them right out! A pair of reusable silicone gloves with silicone scrubbers on the palm so that you're protecting your hands, cleaning dishes thoroughly, and eliminating the need for sponges altogether. A Dyson V15 stick vacuum because it truly does it all. It can detach from the body to help you hit all those nooks and crannies, cordless! This gem features two advanced cleaning heads (one of which has ~detangling~ technology for all the hair that may get caught), as well as a built-in laser to help you detect every speck of dust. Or a more affordable, lightweight 2-in-1 cordless vacuum that can *also* detach from the body and features bright LED nozzle lights to help you clean every inch of your home in the most efficient way possible (on hardwood and carpet). It comes with an attachable crevice tool and dusting brush, has two different power modes, and rotates 180 degrees for easier steering! An under-cabinet drawer so all of the cleaning supplies in the kitchen or beauty products in the bathroom aren't a cluttered mess and don't go tumbling every time you pull something out. The top shelf can hold your taller bottles, while the pull-out drawer is the perfect storage place for sponges, towels, and brushes you'll want to quickly grab. Some reviewers even use it to organize their food pantry! Basically, you've got options here. A genius faucet splash catcher to prevent the puddles of water you can't seem to avoid no matter how neat you try to be when doing dishes. It can fit perfectly around your faucet and will help absorb some of the water that gets everywhere the second you turn the faucet on. A microfiber window blind duster brush so there'll be no more dust flying your way every time you open and close the blinds. With three blades that clean two blinds at once, it makes things SO much easier and faster. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray to kill the toxic mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about great results. A chic, clever, *and* slim entryway shoe cabinet that sneakily and beautifully holds your shoes while also providing a convenient shelf on top. It even has a small drawer so you can store your gloves, keys, mail, or other grab-n-go essentials. OR if you have the space — a rotating shoe rack tower so you can easily look through your options without needing to undo all the organizing you just finished! This baby is basically a Lazy Susan for your shoes and purses, and I love that fact. A set of bed sheet organizers to get your closets looking like Marie Kondo set them up personally. These organizers actually break apart and fold down, too, so storage will be a breeze when they aren't in use. A TubShroom for any easy way to prevent clogged drains. It not only catches all hair (both human and pet!) that tries to go down, but it also takes only seconds to install — simply plop it in the tub's drain. Thanks to the strainer design, any loose hair will latch on and wrap around the cylinder, allowing you to pull out globs of hair in one go rather than having to go digging later. AND a drain clog remover because you've gotta clear it out before you can *keep* it clear. This is a super easy way to unclog your sink, shower, and bathtub drains that are FILLED with hair. 🤢 It may be a nasty process, but the results are quite literally scary (hairy?) good. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results without the high price or the hassle. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all. A broom and mop organizer that will transform your cleaning closet or storage area so that you're no longer tripping over the things that keep your house spick and span. This baby will allow you to hang tools (11 to be exact!) and free up floor space in the process, so feel free to call yourself an organizing pro after this purchase. Or a pack of individual broom holders to customize your space a bit more to your liking. Whether you've only got a certain amount of space from one wall to the next, or you're just going for a certain organization system, these separate broom, mop, and Swiffer holders will have you covered. Some non-toxic cleaning K-cups, because let's be honest, when was the last time that thing had a deep clean?! These pods are the easiest, fastest way to give your Keurig the clean it deserves so you can go back to enjoying your favorite hot beverages with their intended taste! And a super convenient K-Cup storage drawer for neat storage and easy access to your morning essential. Just pop your Keurig on top to give it the throne it truly deserves. A stainless steel polishing spray that comes with a microfiber cloth. It won't just make your stainless-steel appliances look as good as new, but reviewers say it also helps prevent things like fingerprints, dust, and hard water stains, which in turn makes the clean last longer! Overall, your need for constant cleaning declines when all you did was spray and wipe! A storage lid organizer so the clutter of the Tupperware drawer immediately disappears (you know the one!). This organizer is also adjustable so it perfectly fits the size and amount of lids you have. A super-strong scum and grime remover to rid the yeaaaars of filth that's been neglected to be cleaned and is now way too tough to try. This makes the process easy, so getting a sparkling surface seems like child's play. A bin of Tide Pods that have honestly transformed the "doing laundry" experience. These in particular feature Downy fabric softener too, so you'll get extra clean, extra fresh-smelling clothes without the hassle. Just pop in one, and you're done! A set of Wad-Free pads to stop your sheets from tangling in the wash, catching other clothes, and not actually drying. It will save you from having to run the dryer twice! 🙌 A lightweight SUPER long extendable duster so that you don't have to put your back into least not too much. It stretches over eight feet to clean your chandeliers, ceiling fans, and the dark 'n' spooky Upsidedown that is underneath your couch. A hanging bag organizer because all the door handles and coat hooks in the house are already taken. This organizer has 10 pockets but can fit many more bags, depending on their size. Wouldn't it be nice to have your bags all in one place? A large woven storage basket for throw blankets, pillows, toys, laundry, etc. These will blend ~perfectly~ with your decor, can be used in any room of the house, and won't make you feel like you're living in The Container Store just for a little organization.

We review 100s of products a month — here are 7 we would actually recommend from March
Spring has sprung! In March, our small-but-mighty team of expert shopping editors were hard at work bringing you the best product recommendations on everything from the best spring dresses and shoes to the incredible pet food and accessories — all from Canadian brands, of course. Plus, we spent a lot of time hunting down the best Amazon deals from the retailer's massive Big Spring Sale. Because we're obsessed with testing products — "Is it worth buying?" is one of our favourite questions — we've curated a list of things we've tried and, importantly, actually liked from the past month. The products listed below got our editors through weekend bike-a-thons, spring cleaning sessions and hours spent on a walking pad. Scroll ahead to shop the products we reviewed in March that we would wholeheartedly recommend — and get a sneak peek of the items we're testing in April. I bike a lot, so I'm constantly on the lookout for lightweight zip-up jackets that I can throw over a sweat-wicking top (this one from Uniqlo is my go-to). I snapped up this QUEENIEKE workout jacket simply because it looks a lot like one I have from a pricey athleisure brand — but it's less than a third of the price. I've worn the jacket on several early season bike rides (as well as at the gym or while running errands) and it's lightweight and airy, plus the thumbholes keep the sleeves from riding up — which is integral while biking! I found that while it fits true to size it is a bit slim, so you could definitely size up if you don't want something so close to the body. The only other thing to keep in mind is that it does have a cropped silhouette. While I don't mind it for daily wear, I did find that it rode up a bit while cycling. — Hilary Hagerman, Lifestyle & Commerce Managing Editor For lack of a better description, prior to using the Angry Mama Microwave Oven Steam Cleaner, my microwave was gnarly. There was splattered, stuck-on food in every nook and cranny you can imagine, and I felt I needed a more powerful cleaning tool other than regular soap and water to tackle the mess. The Angry Mama steam cleaner is an interesting little gadget. You fill it with vinegar and water and microwave it for 5-7 minutes; allegedly, this combination will cut your cleaning time in half. Considering how absolutely disgusting my microwave was before using it, I think that claim is correct. Don't get me wrong, a little bit of elbow grease is still required for tougher splatters, but overall, it made cleaning my microwave so much easier than it would have been with only a cleaning solution or soap and water. It's not a miracle worker, but it helps. - Kayla Kuefler, Senior Shopping Editor What if I told you one of my favourite sweaters is from Amazon? Well, it's true, my friends. To be honest, I wouldn't have believed it myself. However, this PRETTYGARDEN Button-Down Cardigan is the perfect chunky knit ever, and I'll tell you why. It's not too heavy, it has the perfect oversized silhouette and it's not itchy in the slightest. And the gold button details make it look way fancier than it is. As for the sleeve length, they're not too long or too short. At $60, it might be considered pricey for Amazon, but I think it's well worth it. It's super versatile, as I've worn it both casually and dressed up. You can rock it buttoned up or unbuttoned with a tank underneath for more of a cardigan vibe. I find it's the perfect go-to for when you're unsure of what to wear. I have it in grey, but I'm tempted to purchase it in more colours, as it has quickly become a staple in my wardrobe. My only gripe is that the buttons kind of feel like they're hanging on for dear life. I haven't had a problem with them falling off, but I just wish they felt a little more secure. — Melina Brum, Shopping Editor In response to Trump's ongoing tariff threats, I, like many Canadians, am trying to swap out my usual cleaning products for Canadian alternatives (I made a guide explaining how you can do so here). In my research, I came across The Unscented Company, a women-owned, B Corp Certified company dedicated to sustainable practices. I have been using the brand's toilet cleaner tabs for about a month now and so far, so good. The small Mentos-sized tabs dissolve in water and are made from 99.9 per cent naturally derived ingredients. The brand recommends using them 2-3 per week for regular cleaning or daily if you have a very dirty toilet. I will say they're not as powerful as regular toilet bowl cleaners, but they're great for more frequent, lighter jobs. They also have no powerful cleaning smell, and because they're in tab form, they're super easy to use. - KK I am a perfume collector. I love the idea of having a signature scent, but honestly, I will never be that girl, as collecting different fragrances brings me so much joy. My most-used scent of late is Merit Beauty's Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum. It has keynotes of bergamot, jasmine and musk and smells expensive and elegant. To paint you a picture: Retrospect smells like you have a fresh blow-out, you're wearing your most butt-lifting jeans, and you just made flirty eye contact with someone on the street. If that scene were a scent, it would be Merit's Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum. - KK I've been eyeing New Balance 530s for a while now, and after wearing them for a couple of months, I don't know why I haven't owned a pair sooner. Not only are they cute (in my opinion), but they're super comfortable, too. I've been wearing them on my walking pad recently, and my feet don't hurt an ounce. I noticed a huge change from my previous choice of workout footwear. They're not narrow, but they aren't bulky, either. I find them incredibly lightweight, and they don't uncomfortably poke or irritate me in any way. And the best part? They felt like they were broken into already — I haven't had one blister from them! One thing I will note is to keep sizing in mind. I ordered my true size, 8.5, but I definitely could've sized down to an 8. — MB This grass-fed bovine collagen powder supports skin, hair, nails, joints and digestion. Can I say definitively that I've seen results? Not really. But, on my quest to eternal youth and glowing skin, I will keep using it. What I like about the Great Lakes Wellness Collagen powder is that it's unflavoured (genuinely unflavoured), dissolves beautifully, and has no aftertaste. I usually add it to my morning smoothies or yogurt for an immediate protein boost (there are nine grams of protein per 1.5 tbsp). Overall, I like it. I'm curious if I will see results with long-term use and will continue adding it to meals for extra protein. - KK Hoka Bondi 9 Women's Shoes NETVUE by Birdfy Smart Bird Feeder with Camera Skylight Calendar: 15-inch Digital Calendar Aritzia The Effortless Pant Cropped - Crepette UNIQLO:U Crew Neck Short-Sleeve Tee Nellie's Laundry Soda - Concentrated Laundry Detergent Powder Cleaner Kit for AirPods
