Shopping · "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. Worked like witchcraft AGAIN" —reviewer of a mold stain remover you'll wish you had 1. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that'll deep clean your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $7.99. 2. CeraVe Retinol Serum that lives up to the CeraVe name and uses *encapsulated* retinol to reduce the appearance of scars and pores without flaking or redness. If you haven't gotten into retinoids yet or are worried about irritating your skin, this gentle but effective serum is a great option — and reviewers say they like it better than other more expensive options (like Murad's Retinol Serum, which retails for $92). And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin. Promising review:"I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." — C. Munsterman Get it from Amazon for $18.68. 3. An ergonomically-designed detangling brush with cone-shaped bristles that separate tangles by pulling them apart sideways, not tugging them down. Reviewers say it's a miracle worker for everything from thick, coily hair to the finest strands! Promising review:"I always skeptical of products that claim to 'glide through,' but this brush actually works! I have very thick kinky coily hair and this brush passes through my hair easily both wet and dry. I'd recommend this product to anyone looking for a good detangling brush. And yes, I'm leaving my Denman brush for this one." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in 10 colors). 4. A self-closing, mess-free toothpaste cap to help cut down on toothpaste waste *and* mess, especially for families with kids ( tbh) who might be a little heavy handed when it comes to squeezing those tubes. Promising review: "I saw these on an Amazon review video on YouTube and figured I'd give them a try because my boyfriend tends to leave the toothpaste bottle a complete mess and I can't stand it! These things have a great seal and give out a good amount of toothpaste when you squeeze it. It wipes clean very easily. So glad they come with more than one but not sure what I'll use the other ones on yet." — Kimberly C. Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.45. 5. A boot and shoe stretching spray, because breaking in those new boots can be a chore and lead to painful blisters. You can skip the discomfort entirely and get right to long walks on crunchy leaves in no time — just spray this magic potion on the inside + outside of your kicks (they work on lots of materials, including leather, suede, nubuck, canvas, and more), wear them with a pair of thiiick socks, and walk around in your shoes until they dry. BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Amanda Davis says:"So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow, I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later), and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Doc Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!" Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 6. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review:"Found this product on TikTok. I don't think I've ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What's more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" — Rachel in CLT Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 7. A microfiber cloth to remove every single trace of dirt and makeup (even waterproof formulas!) with just water. And the cloths are super soft, so you won't have to resort to harsh scrubbing that can dry out your face. BuzzFeed Promising review:"I will admit I was skeptical, but this works and it works well! I have always hated the way that makeup removers left my skin feeling, plus half of them don't even work the best. I hate scrubbing at my eyes trying to remove eyeliner and mascara with a makeup remover that's getting into my eyes and irritating them and the skin around my eyes without even removing all of the eye makeup. Well, this product solves all problems. It is ridiculously easy to use, just wet it and wipe away your makeup. It actually removes all of my makeup without scrubbing my skin raw or irritating it with chemicals and, best of all, it actually removes ALL of my mascara. This product feels a bit like magic with how easily and softly it wipes away your makeup. If you wear makeup and do not own this product, then what are you doing? Just buy it." — Sophie Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in eight colors). And if you wear makeup every day and don't want to do laundry as often, you can also get a set of seven Makeup Erasers for $15. 8. A spider and insect catcher that'll keep pests in its clutches without smushing them so you can bring them outside where they belong. Promising review:"I was skeptical when I ordered this, but I have a husband who makes bug splats on my walls and I needed something to stop that. This thing actually works!! I have always been a catch and release person when it comes to indoor bugs but this makes it so much easier. I love it." — Island Gal Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in three colors). 9. A Migrastil roll-on stick to help evaporate your migraine pain or tension headache within minutes. Just apply the blend of essential oils (including lavender, spearmint, and peppermint) onto your temples, forehead, and the back of your neck — and POOF! Relief is here. Promising review:"Years ago a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches & nausea. I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT!! I use it daily on my temples & the back of neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with the nausea I suffer from meds I take. Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at start of headache. I take so many meds because of autoimmune disease's that I like not having to pop another pill for my headaches. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils etc., but this works!!" — DVS Get it from Amazon for $12.95. Check out a BuzzFeed Shopping editor's review to learn more about why she loves this! 10. A neck pillow you can get now and dream about using it in all your future travels. Twist into several different positions so you can get actual rest — without your head bobbing up and down. Amazon Promising review:"Have wanted a travel pillow forever! Took a chance on this. Oh my gosh it's amazing! It forms to my neck and no matter which way I turn my head, I can fall asleep instantly. This is so much better than standard travel pillows. One of my best Amazon purchases to date!" — Lauren Grubb Get it from Amazon for $44.95 (available in 11 colors and four sizes: two for adults and two for kids). This also won our pick for best mid-price travel pillow! 11. An indoor s'mores maker with a flameless electric heater for a properly toasted marshmallow, plus sectioned compartments to keep your other ingredients in order. Campfire who? Amazon Promising review:"I love this S'mores maker! I recently bought s'mores supplies at the store, and wanted to make them without a bonfire... I read online about all of the different s'mores machines and I'm SO happy I chose this one! Right out of the box, it started heating quickly. After it was glowing red, we started toasting marshmallows! I was surprised how brown and toasty it was able to get the marshmallows, and so quickly. After reading some other reviews about the long wait time, I was worried. But in my home, the time to get the marshmallow toasty was just about equivalent to a bonfire (minus the bonfire smell!!). The s'mores do even have that outdoor familiar taste. We love it and will be using it again and again! Great product." — Ashley Schenkel Get it from Amazon for $23.99. 12. Suguru, a self-setting rubber with the power to fix just about anything from dishwashers to iPhone cords. You can fix fraying wires, hang pictures (without a nail), create ergonomic grips on tools, and soooooo much more. It sets strong because it turns into silicone rubber, permanently bonding to almost any surface. It's waterproof (use it to secure a shower caddy!), heat- and cold-resistant (use it to insulate a pot handle!), and electricity-insulating (fix those constantly fraying smartphone cords!). Promising review: " This stuff is AMAZING! It is so easy to use. I recently used it to repair drawers on my 18 year old daughters dresser. It's made from pressed cardboard, and the bottoms of the drawers kept popping out from the bottom because she kept overstuffing them with clothes. I put some moldable glue along the edges where the bottom piece attaches to the drawer, and VOILA! No more problems! I also used it in my dishwasher, (I'm renting a condo temporarily) on the top rack. T he top rack had and end piece missing, and the rack kept coming out every time I went to load the dishwasher. So I put some of the moldable glue on the end, I let it cure overnight, and used it in the morning. It's been great ever since!" — KevinN Promising review:"First off I just wanted to say I love this product, and it is so flexible with all the different things that you could make and do with it. I personally used some on my keys to my house, to make them bigger and easier for me to grip with my carpal tunnel. Honestly, I think this product is a fabulous way to increase accessibility for all sorts of different things in every day life. For example, I was thinking about using some to make a more comfortable grip for one of my pens for when I take notes notes." – JJanss Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $26.35 (available in seven sets of colors). 13. A bottle of Chamberlain's Leather Milk conditioner that'll bring new life to your furniture, shoes, handbags and more. It's like a time machine for dull, scratched, or dried-out leather, is what I'm saying. Promising review:"Had an old ottoman that the leather was just so dried out. Thought about just tossing it but then I researched leather restoring products this was listed as one of the best. As you can see from the photos, the transformation from dried, discolored leather to what is as close to the original luster that was made with just one application is pretty remarkable. And the feel of the leather is soft and supple. No sticky feeling at all. Very satisfied with the results." — Bonnie Get it from Amazon for $34.13 (or try the smaller bottle for $26.11). 14. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner so you can clean the whole bowl with one hand — and *one* product. I use these myself and they get the JOB DONE. Promising review:"You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used up brush sitting in your throne room? You clean your bathroom but then you put that sucker down in its place and it's just like, mocking you. It's never truly immaculate. Never knowing true cleanliness. Fear no more. Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom. Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy. Clorox Toilet Wand is the answer to your prayers if you want an easy, deep cleaning, toss-away-after-you're-done type contraption for that porcelain throne of yours. Fast, cheap, and easy. Just like.... How we like to clean." — Juliana Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $20.86 — and get a 30-pack of scrubber refills from Amazon for $17.99) 15. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that can dissolve that pesky, hard dead skin in just a few minutes — for real, don't leave it on for more than that. Then just rinse, sand with a pumice stone or rasp, and enjoy those silky-smooth feet! If you love Baby Foot but hate waiting, this is a great option. Promising review:"As many folks have said, have all the things you need (gloves, phone, shower head, etc.) at hand when you apply this freaking miracle. I have heels like a busted can of biscuits, and I don't have much faith in any product. Any trip to the salon is basically worthless for my calluses. So I soaked my feet and dried them. Applied the gel and waited. Rinsed and started using my rasp. I have NEVER seen so much skin come off. And it just kept coming. I rinsed and put lotion on, then slept in thick socks. My feet are so soft! Game changer." — VR Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a two-pack). 16. Londontown's illuminating nail concealer, a sheer but buildable formula that cancels out yellowing or staining, leaving healthy-looking, glowing nails and a little flush of color, which you can also layer for that glazed nail look that's so on trend! Promising review:"I'm not a big review writer but I had to write one about this polish! Now, it has only been a few days but so far it has been the best nail polish I have ever used! I was hesitant because it's way more than I have ever spent on a nail polish. But it is so worth it. I don't know why it seems so different but it was easy to apply and looks as good as when I get a manicure. I have never had that when I have done my own nails! So far, I am hooked!" — jenc Get it from Amazon for $15+ (available in five shades). Londontown is a woman-owned, family-run business btw! 17. A two-pack of mint-flavored, sensitive skin-friendly teeth-whitening pens you can just brush on and remove those deep-set coffee, tea, and wine stains — without all the hassle of those trays or strips. Just twist the bottom, and paint onto your teeth. Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you've used through the handy transparent tube! Promising review:"I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist which is supposed to be very effective but it only burned my gums and the whitening wasn't as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews but didn't have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the Dr's kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use. It actually works even after first application. It doesn't burn gums. It doesn't make your teeth sensitive." — Melinda Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.33. 18. A wine-aerating spout that'll help your three-buck chuck breathe and open up, helping the individual flavors and ~nuances~ of the wine be more apparent — even to beginner wine palates. Amazon Promising review:"I am not a wine specialist, but I know what I like and buy very good wine at very reasonable prices. I did a taste test to see if I could notice a difference. Sipped some wine out of the bottle left to breathe for a couple of minutes; then some wine poured through the aerator and sipped immediately. The difference is VERY NOTABLE, even to my untrained palate. The wine tasted fresher, smoother, less harsh and more flavorful! I no longer drink reds without using these. And if I forget, I pour the wine back in the bottle and attach the aerator. Another nice feature? There are no wine drops coming down the side of the aerator, so no more risk of dripping onto a tablecloth or a shirt." — J. Long Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.95 (available in three colors). 19. A pack of Avarelle pimple patches formulated with tea tree oil and calendula oil (to heal and shrink zits faster overnight). AND they come in two sizes — classic circular patches & large, square patches so you can easily treat and shrink clusters of pimples all at once. A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these! Promising review:"I've tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I'm a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn't have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I'm so happy. The packaging is also ideal, because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." — Caitlyn Get the box of 40 round patches from Amazon for $8.49. OR try their large, rectangular size to tackle multiple pimples at once. Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $8.99. 20. A pair of produce-saving containers that'll regulate the flow or oxygen and carbon dioxide, keeping fruit, veggies, and greens fresh for 80% longer... and saving you money. BuzzFeed Promising review:"I was skeptical when buying these because I usually prefer glass food storage containers and these are plastic; however, they are a sturdy plastic and work great. I soak my Costco blueberries in white vinegar and water for about 15 minutes, rinse, pat dry, and then store them in these containers. Ten days later, they are still completely fresh — no mold, no smell, no mush. I can finally buy club-size produce without wasting it." — E&N Miranda Get a set of three from Amazon for $21.60 (available in seven sizes and sets). Check out our full review of these game-changing containers! 21. Grooming gloves designed with nodules on the fingers and palms to make brushing the excess hair from your cat, dog, or even horse more like petting. Amazon Promising review:"I love these gloves. I have three German shepherds that shed constantly and they do not sit still very well, but with these gloves they feel as if they are being petted and don't mind at all. These gloves easily pick up the loose hair and leave my dogs sleek and shiny. Also it is very easy to just shake the hair off the gloves. You don't have to dig the hair out of the grooves like you do with some brushes. I am so happy to have found these." — Margie Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in sizes junior and S–XL and eight colors). 22. Fenty Stunna Lip Paint, a 12-hour liquid lipstick that'll look good on lit'rally everyone! Seriously, just check out the product photos and reviews. Sephora Promising review:"Wow. My new favorite lip color!! I ate three meals today and it stayed completely on all day. It truly is a great color for all skin tones. It's so lightweight when you wear it and also very matte. Would highly recommend!" — Crystal Cas Get it from Sephora for $29 (also available in five other shades). 23. A scent-free, biodegradable odor eliminator for those stinks you didn't think you'd ever smell the end of. It bonds with ~odor molecules~ to get rid of the stink, without leaving any perfume-y smells behind. Dead mice, run-ins with skunks, pet messes, years of cigarette smoke — reviewers have stopped them ALL with this spray. Promising review:"I have seen the commercials for others with claims of removing odors (and tried them too) but I have used this for years and will continue too use it. Zero Odor works where all others have failed. The first time I used it we were clean out an apartment to prepare it for new people and the prior tenants had a strong, offensive odor they left behind. I thought nothing would work and we would have to completely refinish the entire area and that would have cost a fortune, well Zero Odor was a last ditch effort because we had tried about seven or eight other things already, from chemical cleaners (hours of labor) to every type of spray I could find and none of them even put a dent in it, a few masked it for about an hour but that was all they did. I purchased Zero Odor specifically for this problem area, I sprayed everything, walls, floor, ceiling and the closet too. We came back the next day and it was totally free of any odors at al, it was 100% clear and clean. Keep mind the placed smelled so bad before that we had to keep the windows open, well Zero Odor became a part of my cleaning kit from that day on and I will never go without it. This one works, plain and simple. I have no idea how but when everything else failed Zero Odor did it and continues to time after time. Let the others claim whatever they want but this product does exactly what it says with no compromise, not even a hint of the old odor is left behind. No way around this one, it's great stuff." — Stonington 25. A red wine stain remover that'll turn any party foul into an amazing party trick. It's non-toxic and bleach free — working at the ~molecular~ level to break up stains for easy removal. I love science, don't you? Promising review:"It did pass my first test! I did not expect to use this product a couple of days after I received it. Had a spill of red over one of my favorite shirts. I did try to remove the most dramatic area with water and soap right away; then I let this product sink in for half hour before washing and voilà it was all gone!" — Gerson Melgar Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 26. A pair of wine glasses with markings so you can play a full A-major scale just by running your finger around the rim. Uncommon Goods Promising review:"It really does play individual notes, on correct pitches. It was fun to play around with. If you're a dorky musician (like me), this is definitely a fun way to enjoy music and wine!" — Gabe Get a set of two from Uncommon Goods for $68. 27. A one-handed bottle opener for quickly removing beer tops — *without* bending the edges. Amazon Promising review:"My husband says this is the greatest beer bottle opener ever. Hate struggling to crack open your beer, well now you don't have to! In one quick squeeze, it's all over with and you're enjoying your beer. And it's a magnet, so it will never get lost in the drawer." — 4eva Get it from Amazon for $22 (available in four colors). 28. An easy-to-use jewelry cleaning brush for polishing up your brand new or decades-old precious stones and keep them as sparkling as your love still is (awww!). BuzzFeed, It's filled with a cleansing + polishing solution to rid stones of clouding dirt and oil and ensure every facet shines. Just twist the bottom of the pen to dispense the fluid and brush on! Promising review:"Don't get me wrong — my wedding ring was gorgeous before. It did sparkle and still made me smile every day. using this..*oh my goodness*! After one use of the Diamond Dazzle ring is absolutely breathtaking! I knew my ring got dirty now and then, simply from sweating and being outside in the elements. However, I never realized just how much dinge and schmutz marred my beautiful diamond until I cleaned it. It literally took my breath away with its fiery, dazzling brilliance! My wedding ring is something that always makes my heart beat a little faster: for its beauty, for what it now, my smile is even bigger and my heart skips a beat a little more as I gaze upon this amazing clarity. It is an amazing value with mind-blowing, beautiful results!" — liltreeclimber Get it from Amazon for $9.48. 29. A seven-in-one Instant Pot you've probably heard a lot about — for a good reason. Or rather a good seven reasons: It slow cooks, pressure cooks, makes rice, sautés, makes yogurt, and keeps food warm. Bye bye other appliances! Amazon Promising review:"I cannot believe how amazing this product is, I've been writing all over FB about it and encouraged get my friends to invest in one. We live in a small apartment that heats up quick with use of the oven, this baby saves us energy on and time! I cooked a pretty good size roast in about 45 minutes. Which would usually take 4-5 hours in the oven. Yeah, I'm in love. I really didn't think it was possibly for this machine to be as great as it claims, but it really is! It's WORTH IT. Don't hesitate, take the step forward this awesome investment." — Amanda D. Get a three-quart size from Amazon for $79.95 (also available in six-quart and eight-quart sizes). 30. A Tubshroom, a game-changing drain strainer to catch every single strand of shed hair and make clogged showers a thing of the past. BuzzFeed Promising review:"Can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed having been using around a month. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" — Aaron Morlock Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). Check out BuzzFeed's Tubshroom review for all the deets (and more ~hair raising~ pics). 31. A wine saver that'll remove the air from your open bottle of wine, then seal it with a stopper, so you can enjoy the rest of it later — and it'll still taste fresh! Tap to play GIF Amazon, Promising review:"I'll admit i was a little skeptical about this but bought it due to all of the good reviews and research I did. It seemed almost too simple, if that makes sense. But yes, it really is that easy to work it and you definitely hear the clicks when you're got it sealed up. It is very easy to take the stopper back out as well. I highly recommend this. I also don't think it would be too hard for someone with arthritis, since you can grip the handle on the unit well and even the last pump or two it doesn't take too much force." — Celinenme Get a vacuum sealer, plus two stoppers from Amazon for $18.99 (also available in different multipacks and colors). 32. A bottle of No Pore-Blem primer to smooth out the canvas of your skin pre-foundation, diminishing the look of pores and uneven skin — all while protecting and adding moisture, thanks to collagen and green tea extract! Amazon Promising review:"I wanted to give this product 10 stars.. But was only limited to 5. This stuff is AMAZING!!!! I'm almost 30, and my face has become super oily... Like I can fry chicken on it by the end of the day. So for months I've neglected wearing any kind of foundation or makeup in general. After reading reviews I figured I would give this a try. The glow it gives you is AWESOME!!! it makes my skin so soft.... I'm probably going to wear just this and no foundation 50% of the time. I went for it and did my whole face and ladies.. You know that could mean several steps of the Ttexas the amounts of sweat. My face was No oil... No smears... No pores... This is literally sent from heaven!!!! My ONLY dislike is the fact that you cant purchase this in five-gallon buckets!" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $11.75+ (also available in a green-tinted, color-correcting base). 33. A Feed n Wax Wood conditioner that'll not only polish your pieces but ALSO basically erase years of damage (looking at you, drink rings), bring out the natural color and sheen of your pieces — whether the wood is finished or unfinished — *and* add a layer of protection. All you have to do is apply with a cloth, wait 20 minutes (perfect time for a mid-cleaning snack!) and wipe off the excess. Promising review:"I thought our table was a lost cause, needing to be completely refinished to get back to its beautiful glow. We'd tried everything to get water marks, scratches, and sun fading out of our table and nothing lasted once the product dried -- UNTIL THIS! Not to be overdramatic but I was FLOORED by how well this worked. One coat and its ALLLL fixed! It looks like new again. I cannot praise this product enough." — Kirsten Get it from Amazon for $10.47. 34. A few sheets of LED-dimming stickers to finally keep those pesky router, TV, clock, and other electronic lights from ruining your ~room of complete darkness~. They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition! Promising review:"This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game changer!! For the first night EVER I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in sharpie, etc, but true to the name of these products if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" — Amazon Customer Get a sheet of over 100 dimming stickers (in multiple sizes and shapes) from Amazon for $3.99. 35. A Vivienne Sabó mascara reviewers swear by to majorly lengthen and thicken their lashes. When someone asks you what mascara you use, you can just say "Oh, it's French." It's cruelty-free, smudge-proof, and removes easily at the end of the day with water. Promising review:"I never write reviews for things, but this mascara was just so great I felt like I had to! I love lashes, and my friends are used to me wearing thick coats of mascara at all times. Despite this, I got complimented on my lashes basically every time I wore this mascara this week. Multiple people even asked if I had extensions! This mascara isn't clumpy at all, and makes your lashes super long and defined without sticking them together. I've never had any problems with flaking, and although it isn't waterproof, I've definitely used eyedrops, shed a tear, and gotten stuck in rain without them smudging or running down my face. All in all this is my new holy grail mascara, and I'm thrilled!!" — Sophie Johnson Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in brown and black). 36. A cleaning putty to easily (and kind of fun-ly!) clean your car air conditioner vents, laptop keyboard, cupholders, remote buttons, and any other tricky little areas where dust and crumbs accumulate when you have a few spare moments. Amazon Promising review:" If you like it not just clean but super clean, get this. I got this to detail my car. There are a lot of corners inside the car that are hard to clean. This is fun and definitely will give you a lot of satisfaction after you are done. You cannot wash this so instead of using the whole pod, I just pinch and use part of it. I did not put the used one back since I do not want to contaminate the pure clean ones. I used the portion till it is too dirty and then I just threw it away. It will clean the tiniest place for you. Very satisfying." — Lovelearn Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 37. A mold & mildew removing gel, because you don't need to get your whole shower redone once this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g. Promising review:"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. 38. An odor-eliminating candle that'll truly knock out the worst pet stinks and leaving your home smelling ahhh-mazing. Amazon They're made with soy wax that burns for up to 70 hours, plus the scents are allergy friendly! Promising review:"I have multiple dogs in the house and am always concerned that it smells like that to visitors even cleaning everyday. I have use other candles and melts that add a pleasant smell to the underlying odor, but One Fur All Pet House Candles do better. I have been able to leave the house for hours and when I first open the door, on my return, I don't smell dog. We recently had a house full of people (many of them pet parents) over for Christmas dinner and it was actually commented "Your house smells really nice. How do you keep the dog smell out?" I laughed and told them I was just wondering if the candles were working. I guess I got the BEST answer." — LLL Texas Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in 38 scents). Check out a BuzzFeed's Pet House Candle review for more info. 39. A set of silicone egg poachers with perforated cups to mimic the traditional poaching method (aka swirling water around and around) without having to do any work — and so your egg stays perfectly round and never wisps away. Amazon Promising review:"FINALLY! My long search is over for a solution that really works! The eggs poach perfectly! The process involves simply dropping an egg into the poacher and waiting a few minutes for the desired level of firmness — no stirring the water to create a vortex or messing with the egg during cooking! This means that when you need to cook for several guests, multiple poachers can be used to prepare as many eggs as needed at the same time! There was even a handy chart with suggested poaching times which is dead-on accurate. Cleanup is a breeze! I am ordering another set and won't poach any other way than with Good Grips. My only negative comment is that I will probably eat way more Eggs Benedict than I should now that it is so easy to prepare the eggs!" — JoeBT Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99. 40. A BodyGlide blister-preventing balm that'll provide a layer of protection between those ouchy-ouch shoes and your delicate foot skin. Promising review:"I thought this stuff was a bunch of BS, I was like pssh what a waste of $8 ON AMAZON FOR THIS LITTLE THING. Well, I put it on today on spots where my flats rub off the skin. My feet survived an entire day, INTACT! Highly recommend. This product made wearing shoes that rub on your ankles/backs of your feet doable!!!!" — Jamie Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 41. A drain clearing tool with a rotating handle and five replacement snakes with 4,000 micro hooks and a slim design to shimmy down any drain (you don't even need to remove the cover) and snag all the hairs and goop that's clogging the system — in one quick pull. Next time, just buy a Tubshroom to prevent this even in the first place. Amazon, Promising review:"I don't write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn't really read the instructions, but it's pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won't be disappointed." — Linsey Barbieri Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 42. A pair of TikTok-famous Cushionaire slide sandals that seem to get more popular with every passing day — and for good reason. Reviewers swear the molded cushioned footbed (made from a *waterproof* foam) stays comfy for hours and hours, whether you're using them as at-home slippers or actual outside shoes. I bought these myself earlier this year and they're all I wear at home. Especially when cooking or baking, these babies help cushion my feet on hard floors so they don't ache! Promising review: "Wow!!! Best slides I've ever had. I have designer slides and these surpass. True to are super light but sturdy to walk, even on grass and on uneven side walk. Used them to walk my dogs and don't get my feet dirty because of the wedge height. I've put them to the test and I'm Ordering in more colors and a back up pair. They are also stylish so they look cute to wear out. Ordered the orange which is like a camel color. Highly recommend!!!" — Krizia Promising review: "Best Amazon purchase I've made! I have spondylilothesis and spinal stenosis, so I get horrible back, leg and foot pains. This literally helps relieve my pain while I'm working standing on my feet. They are super cute I get tons of compliments on them and they are breathable, lightweight and easy to keep clean. Perfect for Hawaii weather! 💁🏽♀️ There are other brands that look like this but don't be fooled THIS is the brand that is the most comfortable I have other brands and they don't cut it!" — Chelsea Proenza Get them from Amazon for $24.99 (available in women's sizes 5-12 and 29 colors). 43. A Luminoodle — an LED lighting strip you can affix to the back of your TV for a backlighting effect that'll create sharper images, increase color contrast, and reduce eye strain. Promising review:"I've tried other (and cheaper) bias lighting options, and by far this one is the best. I have a 27' monitor and bought the 30' to 40' version of the Luminoodle and used every inch of it on the back of my monitor. I probably didn't need to, but I enjoy have bright bias lighting, and if it gets too bright I can always dim it. Set up was easy 'plug and play', and the adhesive is very strong, the other bias lighting options I tried kept falling off when my monitor got warm, but this stuff sticks very well and hasn't fallen off. Best bias lighting option I've tried!" — Angel Eyes Promising review: "THE BEST MONEY EVER SPENT!!! JUST GET IT!!!" — saylthecell Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in five sizes). 44. A weighted blanket reviewers swear by to help with anxiety, stress, and insomnia. The just-heavy-enough pressure can help you relax and feel comforted enough to drift off. Amazon It's available in three sizes and and 10 weights, so whether you're looking for one for a kid, for yourself, or to use in a king or queen-sized bed with your partner, there's an option for you! Promising review:"This is the BEST purchase I have ever made. I have been an insomniac for years and have never successfully been treated. Even with many doctors' appointments and medications — NOTHING worked! On top of that I have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome). I thought I would give this blanket a try. This product is not advertised for RLS but it absolutely should be! I have had my blanket for three days and I have been basically sleeping in a coma-like state!!! It is the soundest and best sleep I have ever had in my life. And the comforting weight on my legs and boy just eases those RLS symptoms and drifts me off to a sound sleep!!! It is so hard to describe the feeling of peace and comfort the minute you lay it on your body. I actually ordered the 15-pound blanket for my weight and height because I wanted the extra weight just in case. I decided to go ahead an order a second one if I have an emergency situation and need even more weight on my legs. This product is phenomenal to say the least!!!" — DeAnn Barksdale Get it from Amazon for $23.90+ (available in 10 colors and prints). 45. A pair of arch supports with compression to help relieve foot pain, whether you have fallen arches, plantar faciitis, or just spend all day on your feet. Read more about how a lack of arch support can aggravate plantar fasciitis at the American Podiatric Medical Association. Promising review:"When it comes to products like this I am usually skeptical. However, I have had a bad case of plantar fasciitis for a couple of months now and it has gotten pretty bad in the last two weeks. I was looking for more support I could have in the summer as I like to wear my Chacos. I put this product on as soon as it arrived and immediately the pressure was alleviating some of the pain. Through the course of the day my pain has lessened considerably. Of course, I have a long while to go with healing as all my weight was put on my left side which also recently began to be uncomfortable. I am excited to see how this product continues to work in the next couple of days as I will be going to Universal Studios next week and need my walking feet. I would recommend this to anyone who is suffering from chronic plantar fasciitis, I was able to walk around normally today with the product on. I am truly impressed, thank you!" — Monica Idec Get them from Amazon for $15.95. 46. A wad preventer, because balled-up sheets that NEVER seem to actually get dry?? Not on my watch! Who has the time?! This genius invention will keep the corners from getting bunched up to increase your tumble and decrease your dry time. Amazon Just tuck the corners of your flat or fitted sheet into the holes to prevent tangling and twisting aaaand (according to the backed up by reviewers) improve dry time by 75%!!!!!!!! Promising review: "Best purchase! You wouldn't think a small product like this could make a difference, but it makes a world of difference! I am amazed and so glad I found these. Gone are the days of wet clothes being wrapped up in sheets, or having to continuously check the dryer to untangle sheets. I will be purchasing more of these for myself and buying some as gifts!" — Becca Get it from Amazon for $19.99. Wad-Free is a small biz, and their products are made in the USA. 47. Or for non-sheet loads, a set of extra large wool dryer balls that'll ensure your laundry dries quicker and gets softer than ever — *25%* faster. Those towels that take FOR-E-VER (The Sandlot voice) to dry? No more. Amazon Promising review: "I was excited but skeptical about this product but I just used them for 4 loads of laundry and they are awesome! I would normally have used about 20 dryer sheets but I just used the dryer balls instead. My clothing, towels and sheets came out of the dryer wrinkle free, soft and no static cling. I am buying the lavender essential oil to try. I used to spend quite a bit of money on fabric softeners and fragrance boosters. I am thrilled not to have to add a bunch of chemicals. The scent is lovely and clean even without adding the oil. Best purchase of the year." — mskrippers Get a six-pack from Amazon for $19.99. Woolzies is a small business, and these dryer balls are made in New Zealand from 100% wool, and they're hypoallergenic and safe for people with wool allergies! For an extra boost of scent, you can add your favorite essential oil to the balls too! 48. A foaming carpet shampoo people love to use on their car interiors. And with all the ice cream cones I've dribbled in my life, I can CERTAINLY understand why. And anyone with a dog? Yep, you need this. It's citrus scented so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "Old McDonald's Fries." Promising review:"This stuff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I posted before-and-after photos (above) for you to see for yourself! My 1996 Toyota Camry is 23 years old — this is the original carpet! It took me exactly three hours to clean this carpet and I will tell you this: IT WAS WORTH IT!" — treylee Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 49. A nongreasy eye cream designed to deflate your under eye bags, hydrate your delicate skin, and brighten your under-eyes, thanks to a blend of aloe, rosehip seed oil, and vitamins C and E. Under eye bags and circles are natural and NBD, but helping reduce their appearance can make you ~feel~ more awake! Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three sizes). 50. FryAway, a plant-based solidifying powder capable of turning leftover cooking oil in to an easily disposable solid, so you *don't* end up pouring grease down the sink and dealing with clogged pipes later on.

FryAway is available in two sizes: Pan Fry (which comes with four packets each capable of solidifying two cups of oil each) or Deep Fry (which comes with two packets, each capable of solidifying eight cups of oil each). Promising review:"Honestly I didn't know if this would work, waiting for it to cool down made me nervous, but once it was at room temperature it was solid. It popped out of the fryer so nicely. Worth every penny." — Emma Get it from Amazon for $9.97. FryAway is a woman-owned and Latina-owned small business, and they donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

31 Products If You're A Slob Living With A Neat Freak And Want To Do Better
1. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and labels to help you transform your cluttered countertop or dresser into one worthy of TikTok stardom. Plus, your housemates will appreciate the newfound orderliness of all your personal accessories in the bathroom, which is a shared common if you don't always remember. Included are six blank labels to write on your own and six pre-written labels (Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Floss Picks, Hair Ties, and Bath Salt). Promising review:"These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" — tara savage Get a set of four jars from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in a set of two and three). 2. A pack of duster sponges — simply dampen them and wipe off any surface to effectively remove any lingering pet hair and dust. Sure, your roomie loves your cats, but every so often they not-so-subtly mention the dustiness of the house and drag a finger over different surfaces they've deemed neglected... 👀 Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say:"I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "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 are 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). 3. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that honestly, I believe are the only effective way to clean your stainless steel or ceramic bottles and mugs. Seriously. Soap and water isn't cutting it! Each magical tablet removes all the grime you probably didn't even realize was there and barely requires any elbow grease to do it. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.99. 4. A durable honeycomb drawer insert in case your drawers are literally spilling out — this fits into any size drawer and offers a geometric flair to your newly organized shirts, socks, and more. Now, your roommates or family members won't peek inside your room with disgust at all the laundry littered on the floor when they walk down the hall! Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I have, neatly organized, easy to I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors and multipacks). 5. Washing machine cleaning tablets to make all that mold and mildew lurking around inside of the wash disappear, and you'll notice it's working because your laundry will start smelling clean and not slightly musty like before! Promising review:"These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry. Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99. 6. A set of space-saver bags for storing bulky clothing, bedding, or towels by vacuuming all the air inside to minimize their size so you can slide them underneath your bed or in your bedroom closet! If your parents or housemates already have the linen closet filled to the brim, this will help you keep your own linens organized and out of sight until you need them! Promising review:"First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." — Kimball Household Get a pack of six jumbo bags from Amazon for $16.99 (available in six sizes and multipacks). 7. The very popular Chom Chom — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 140,000 reviewers have rated it 5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered in cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y'all are doing G-d's work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 8. A set of Shoe Slotz space savers to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows you to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet? Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Promising review: "Used to maximize space for shoe shelves in closet. Organizes and makes the closet shoe multi-shelves look neat/uniform. The plastic is thick, durable, the shoe style can be seen and there was nothing to assemble. I was able to get more pairs of low to mid-height women's shoes on each shelf. For my heels, I placed them on separate shelves one heel in, one heel out so that I can also see the shoe pair... Needless to say, I was ecstatic. All you do is take the product out of the box insert one shoe in the bottom, the other shoe on top and place on peasy. I highly recommend these shoe slot organizers." — S. Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $74.99. 9. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad because sharing the chores and bills can get expensive, but having one (or several) of these offers a more efficient and sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Your *entire* household will be grateful at the eco-friendly update and also the extra change in their pocket from making the switch! Each machine washable mop pad can replace up to 100 disposable pads *and* be washed up to 100 times! Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17.95! Turbo Mops is a small business established in 2018 to provide eco-conscious cleaning supplies. Promising review:"I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. 10. A retro acrylic beauty organizer if your makeup and skincare products are scattered across the bathroom sink because they have no place to go. This very chic organizer even includes a lid to keep your products dust-free and tidy on your vanity, countertop, or dresser! Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!" Promising review: "I'm incredibly pleased with the makeup organizer! This sleek and stylish organizer has completely transformed the way I store my makeup and skincare products. The two spacious drawers are perfect for keeping everything neatly tucked away, and the brush storage box is a game-changer, keeping my brushes organized and easily accessible. The design is both practical and chic, fitting perfectly on my vanity without taking up too much space. What really stands out is the high-quality material—sturdy, durable, and easy to clean. It holds all my products in place, so I no longer have to dig through drawers to find what I need. It's made my daily routine so much more streamlined and enjoyable. If you're looking for a functional and elegant way to organize your beauty essentials, [this] is definitely the way to go! Highly recommend!" — D'Arcy D Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in five colors and with or without a brush organizer). 11. A styling station designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh, so all your hot tools can safely end up where they belong after use and you don't have to worry about leaving your straightener on to cool down on your countertop. 😅 Amazon Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack! Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in three colors). Or, check out an over-the-cabinet-door styling station. 12. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover to dissolve years of nasty-looking, impossible-to-clean mineral buildup and staining in your shower, toilet, tub, or faucet in a matter of minutes! This professional-quality cleaner will help restore your plumbing fixtures and even your brick and concrete finishings with a spray and a light scrub. One treatment can deliver results that keep repelling stains for months afterward! Promising review: "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, it's 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 $17.99. 13. A five-tier over-the-door hanging organizer that fits effortlessly behind your closet or bedroom door as an out-of-sight stash. Use the structured fabric shelving to store extra linens, stuffies, folded laundry, books, or even toiletries, and celebrate having less clutter on your floor and desktop! Each tier also boasts two side pockets, offering even more storage for smaller items! The entire organizer can hold up to 50 pounds and comes with standard metal hooks to fit on most doors.

Holds my hair dryer, flat iron, all my makeup, and hair care products. It's the perfect solution!" — Heather "It's exactly what I was looking for! I needed a way to organize my craft supplies that didn't take up too much space. I hung it over my closet door. It has thick cardboard that slides into slots in the sides to help regain its shape. I like that it also has side pockets on both sides for each tier." — Anonymous Get it from Wayfair for $27.99. 14. Orrrr an over-the-door basket system to mount onto the door, in case you live with someone who believes "everything has a place" and can't deal with your clutter.

I now have all my supplements and bathroom potions out of my tiny hall linen closet and its conveniently located on the door for easy access! Great product!" — Amy Get it from Wayfair for $57.99+ (originally $78.99; available in six colors). 15. Dawn Powerwash which saves you time by eliminating the need for a pre-soak since the spray helps break down grease and food debris in minutes. And then you just wipe the mess away. 🥲 This is a PSA to stop peeving off your household by letting dishes "soak" overnight in the sink. Amazon Promising reviews: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 Jk have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit from Amazon for $8.44. 16.

Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in three styles and with or without a cord). 17. A no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner for anyone who doesn't have enough time to deal with the stubborn rings in your bathtub — or worse, the mildew growing in the hard-to-reach corners of your shower. Simply spray down your shower after getting out and remember to rinse it 8–12 hours later (or before the next time you get in)...then marvel at how all the gunk disappears! Amazon, Promising review:" 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned so much gunk out of my shower I didn't even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 18.

You might even get your taxes filed before the deadline by keeping organized with this must-have! Promising reviews: "This organizes my paperwork. It holds a lot and I love the pastel color of it. It came with labels to help identify each slot. It's made of plastic but still sturdy enough." — SuzyB "I own more than six of these, and they never disappoint! I recommend it for organizing all of your documents. I personally use it to separate my tax paperwork, paid off bills, work documents, etc. The possibilities are endless." — Honest Reviews Get it from Amazon for $5.49+ (available in 11 colors). 19.

Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). 20.

Super happy with these!" — Drew Get a set of two from Amazon for $77.68+ (available in five styles). 21.

Now, you can keep your sweaters and tops folded neatly away in the storage shelves *and* still have space to hang skirts, pants, and other items on the bottom rod! Promising review:"I'm basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can't speak to long-term, but it's amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can't see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that's just half filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." — BobbyL Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors and two sizes). 22.

Just pop in and let the system do the work. No downtime, no waiting. Simple and easy to use. I did notice a difference after the first use. Highly recommend it." — vetrie Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger multipacks). 24.

Your housemates will be jumping for joy when you stop leaving baskets full of laundry all over the living room for days on end. 😭 Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in five colors). 25. An adhesive cord organizer, which sticks onto your appliances, so you can easily wrap the proper cord to its gadget when not in use.

Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying, 'this is so much neater!' To each their own, I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (or a four-pack for $19.95). 26. A double-layered, water-resistant cat litter-trapping mat created with a honeycomb design to catch and trap litter your cat might track onto the floor. Sure, everyone might love cuddling up with your feline baby, but it's YOUR cat, and no one enjoys getting sand pellets stuck in their bare feet or socks. And whenever you're ready to clean, just press the sides in to open the mat and dump it out (into the litter box or trash)! Promising review:"This litter mat is a lifesaver. I was facing a real issue with my two new kittens tracking litter EVERYWHER E, so much so that I was considering switching from the litter I love to something non-tracking because there were no good alternatives. Much research later, I come across this mat. I will say it was bigger and more square than I thought, but I think that is a good thing! It is so large and covers the area well. Now, the litter tracking is 99% contained! Best litter mat I have ever had!" — Rachel Ray Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 27. A jar of the internet-famous The Pink Stuff, a mildly abrasive paste designed to erase even the most difficult of stains in your home. Sharing a bathroom with multiple people can lead to stubborn hard water stains and sharing a kitchen is a recipe for sauces, stews, and grease to spatter all over the stovetop and microwave — this TikTok fan-favorite will get rid of it all! Promising review:"This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 28. A ventilated cable management box to put all those tangled cords out of sight without having to rearrange all your electronics. Trust, your household will be so grateful not to be tripping over cords every time they walk into your WFH office or living space. Amazon Promising review:" A must-buy product for your messy home or office. Exactly what I was looking for to help save space and hide my cable cords." — Andrew Olson Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 29. A bottle of Liquid Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Eliminator — a gel-based drain cleaner that literally melts hair away in three simple steps: pour, let sit, and drain with piping-hot water. And it's under $10, so definitely worth adding to your cleaning arsenal in case your household boasts a lot of long or thick-haired people and/or animals, and you don't want to have to bother with a plumber! 😭 BTW, this product is designed specifically for drains clogged with hair! For a different drain cleaner, check out this one! Having never read a review of this product, I used it and now I'm furious I didn't do a before and after photo. My shower drain, which had hair from previous tenants, soap scum deep in there, and more grossness from before I moved in five months now 98% clear and looks like a completely new drain. The hair that is still there is attached to my handy dandy drain cover, so no biggie to get rid of. This was the easiest drain product I've ever used and it didn't require me to even look at the nastiest lurking down there. All I had to do was pour the entire bottle (I poured most of it, but I was skeptical, so I saved some just in case), let it sit for 15 minutes, and then pour hot water down the drain. For this, I boiled water in my tea pot and poured it down the drain and everything is gone! I could cry. This is my new go-to drain product from now on — so if your drain is gross and you want nothing to do with it, definitely grab a bottle of this! Promising review: "Our drain was super clogged with hair and soap scum! Three women, a golden retriever, and a golden doodle! So when I say super clogged, I mean SUPER CLOGGED. No water was draining. I tried to use one of those sticks that you put down the drain to pull hair out and I got very little. I started a big pot of water on the stove, but I didn't let it get to a boil. I poured the whole pot of water in and BAM, the tub took a second and it drained. Honestly, I thought I was at the point of having to call a plumber, so I was shocked. I turned the water on and filled up the tub just to see what happened, and it kept draining perfectly! We're at about a month later and she's still draining like a champ! So, I would recommend this product a million times over, 10/10!" — Ian Get it from Amazon for $6.58. 30. A pack of restorative wipes to bring new life back into your faded surfaces and furniture, so that it looks like you just brought it home. While *you* may not be into chores and deep cleaning, bring a box of these home, and your type A roommate might encourage you to host more just to show off how your space looks like new even though you've been staying there for years! These work on everything from vinyl, plastic, and painted surfaces to metal and fiberglass. Plus, they even help protect your items from future damage! Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home Get five wipes from Amazon for $15.99. 31. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll help remove annoying fingerprints, stains, and other miscellaneous residue that ends up on your sleek, shiny appliances. It even comes with a microfiber cloth for streak-free cleaning that delivers a shine reviewers swear lasts for days! Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business creating eco-friendly, cruelty-free cleaning supplies. Promising review:"If you have a Sub-Zero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It's a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff. Oh wow! A few seconds of polishing and it looks amazing!! it has never looked this good, this shiny, and this clean! Best product ever!" — Katerina Get it from Amazon for $15.96+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two). The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. A fire extinguishing spray, a portable vibrating heating pad, a therapy lamp, and more things that'll make you go, " don't I own this?" 1. A large capacity pill organizer with seven compartments and a wide spout that makes it easier to hold and shake out the larger pills. It also comes with sticker labels to help you keep your medication more organized. Promising review:"I bought this because I have Crohn's disease and my doctor put me on medication. I was worried about everything fitting inside, and I can attest that this thing holds tons of pills. This helps me keep track and remember to take all of the pills every day! It's super helpful. The pills fit perfectly, it's easy to shake them out and to use the device. My only regret is that a blue one would have matched my pills a lot better!" — Michelle 2. A two-pack of "flossing toothbrushes" that'll help you reach the food lodged between your teeth that you know is there but just can't seem to get to with your current toothbrush. These brushes have multi-layer bristles that act like floss and can get into those tiny crevices. Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Here's what one of our editors, Emma Lord, has to say:"I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick SO WELL!" — Jason A. 3. A marvelous humidifier tank cleaner because now that you think about it, you can't quite remember the last time you cleaned your humidifier. *Thinks really hard* Promising review:"Just drop this in your humidifier, and it keeps the water pretty darn mildew- and mold-free. Super easy to use, no smell, and is safe. I have already repurchased and given a few to other people as well." — Kristine 4. A bag of Bottle Bright tablets made from biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe ingredients that'll finally rid your fave bottle of that mysterious stain on the bottom. Promising review:"Turns out that brown stuff in your cups isn't stained metal, it's a thin layer of caked-on, old, disgusting coffee/tea. But the photos speak for themselves — it's worth the buy. All these years, scrubbing and washing and trying everything to get this gunk in our mugs off, I could've been using these to get our cups clean in minutes. It works fast, deep cleans really well, and doesn't leave a funky bleach smell after use — our cups look brand new! BE WARNED — when using it with hot water, FILL YOUR CUPS ONLY HALFWAY FULL OF WATER! The tablet was WAY more powerful than expected; it was like putting Mentos in Diet Coke. It will eventually calm down, and you can add more hot water later on, but that initial drop is intense, so buyer beware. Regardless, the results are worth the few extra bubbles." — Amazon Customer 5. A fungal nail renewal pen and nail file combo ready to restore your toenails to their former glory. The pen reduces discoloration and thickness, as well as restores moisture to peeling, brittle nails. Promising review:"I have used Kerasal for three days, and fungal [damage] is 95% gone! Very easy-to-use dispenser that eliminates mess during application. You can apply it yourself effortlessly. Gonna tell other family members with toenail problems about this! I would give it 10 stars if there was room!!!" — Dennis Downing Price: $20.17 6. A denture cleaner because let's be real, we don't remember the last time we've actually cleaned that retainer. And, it's probably starting to taste like it could use a good cleaning. No judgments, just add this to cart. Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R. Price: $15.70 for a box of 120 (also available in a pack of 240). 7. A ceiling fan carbon filter you place on your ceiling fan blades to grab dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as it spins. You and your visitors may not see the filter, but you'll definitely notice a difference in the air. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days, the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez 8. An Apple AirTag tracker so you'll never misplace your belongings again. You can attach this tracker to your keys, wallet, backpack, and anything else with a knack for ending up in a place you don't remember putting it. Promising review: "We have had our vehicles stolen a couple of times from our apartment building. Woke up one day to go to work, and the truck and trailer were gone. Called the cops, who couldn't do much at the time. We hopped in our family vehicle and followed where the AirTag said it was located. After about an hour, we tracked down and recovered all our stuff. We would have never found anything without these." — Kimberly Bishop 9. A WD-40 pen that's pretty genius and amazingly practical. Imagine you can tackle those tiny squeaks that wake you up at night whenever your roommate heads to the bathroom. And, because it's a pen, it's incredibly precise. Why didn't we think of this sooner? Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." — BBP623 10. A pair of fillable paint touch-up pens because who has the arm strength to take out buckets of paint every time someone accidentally scratches the wall during a rousing game of Twister? Amazon Promising review:"I recently had the interior of my house painted. I purchased these pens, thinking that I might need to touch things up from time to time. Well, I did, like when I pushed the garbage can against the wall. Or when I found spots, the painters missed. I love how easy these pens are to fill. I've got a couple stashed in various rooms. When I see a spot, I just grab the pen, shake it to mix the paint, and twist the barrel. Love these!" — Karen Ranney 11. A belted portable cordless vibrating heating pad that's probably the best invention because it provides both the comfort of a heating pad and some vibration in a wearable format. You mean I can be comforted from the pain of cramps and still move about with freedom? *sobs with happy tears* Check out a TikTok of the heating pad in action. Reviewers note you should definitely wear it *over* your clothes! Promising review: "Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns, but I think the lowest setting is exceptionally hot as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation, this little belt does it all. The heat is soothing and adjustable and heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains. It breaks up all the little bubbles and can even move things along if you have difficulty using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time, and it's fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent." — Chloe 12. A Go Hang It! picture hanging and leveling kit because you've saved hundreds of wall decor themes, but the thought of trying to hang something feels a little daunting. This little kit has everything you need to take those themes off your phone and onto the wall. It has 85 pieces, including nails, hooks, screws, a leveler, and more. Go Hang it! is a small business that created this kit to help make hanging saw-tooth and wire picture frames easy with zero measuring. There are two magnetic keys you stick into the hangers on the back of your picture frames and then put up on the wall exactly where you want. It will leave a small indentation so you know exactly where to put your nails. And if you have a frame with a wire hanger, it also works. You can see exactly how it works in this TikTok here. Plus, there's an included level to make sure the pictures are even. The kit also incudes 85 pieces of picture-hanging hardware. Promising review:"I moved to my apartment a few months ago and haven't hung anything because it is difficult/annoying to do it myself without it being crooked. Walls are plaster, so if I measure incorrectly and make nail holes, it is a pain to fix. I saw this product on TikTok (of all places) and immediately purchased. The day it arrived, I hung a mirror perfectly! I love that it has the attached kit, so when I want to hang something, everything is in one place. Super easy to use and absolutely worth every dollar." — Amazon Customer 13. A pack of invisible Compound W One Step Pads you can apply like a regular bandage, but rest easy knowing that they're working to help unearth those stubborn warts from your body. The best part, they aren't noticeable so people don't have to know you're battling against a wart. Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube 14. An easy-to-use ear washer bottle for anyone who suffers from ear wax buildup, blockages, and impaction and wants to flush it out so they can better hear and finally learn all the lyrics to Doechii's new album. Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients' earwax impactions. Promising review:"My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea 15. A portable therapy lamp that'll help you year-round regardless of the season. When the sun's out, the fun's out, and since the days are longer, they seem to be a bit easier. But during those April shower days, this lamp can be your personal ray of sunshine here to help you feel energized, focused, and revitalized. Promising review:"I was initially sold on this by the incredible reviews, a bit skeptical myself at first. I'm Arizon- orn and raised and now live in Michigan. Needless to say, the winters And I didn't even know why. I work from home, so the lack of both interaction with people AND the sun was doing something to me I had never experienced before. I love this lamp!! I set it off to the side of my desk while I work and turn it on in small increments of 10–30 minutes at a time. I have YET to feel that anxious, sad, doomsday feel of the winter while working from home. I highly recommend if you struggle with the winter blues. 🩵" — Jamieee Price: $59.99 16. A set of Wad-Free pads to prevent your sheets from tangling in the wash and not actually drying. These'll save you from having to run the dryer several times. Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. Promising review:"These completely solve the issue of sheets wadding up in the washer and dryer. They cut drying time by more than half. Easy to use, has great product construction, and solves a problem I've been dealing with forever. Great value. I don't write many reviews — but this one I felt I had to share!" — Jane P. 17. Bounce anti-static spray that also serves as a wrinkle release *and* odor eliminator in a handy dandy travel size, so you can always keep this secret wardrobe weapon with you. It definitely deserves a spot in your carry-on for your next trip. Promising review:"Bounce anti-static spray is my best friend during the cold winter months. I never have to worry about leaving the house and forgetting to spray because I purchased this small size, and I keep it in my car! It removes the static cling that can be embarrassing if your dress sticks to your bum. I plan to purchase additional bottles to leave in my office and other places." — ShugaMama 18. A suede and leather brush cleaner ready to get rid of all the dust on your favorite boots. No need to hide them in the back of the closet, just give them a quick brush and they'll be ready to strut their stuff. Promising review:"I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying gray-colored shoes once I got them dirty. Luckily, I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes, you might as well keep them nice and clean!" — Celeste Price: $6.99 19. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes that won't break apart when you're using them to tackle big jobs. The wipes are soaked in an industrial-strength formula which helps them to break down tough stains like grease, ink, marker, wine, and more. Working with that formula is aloe, vitamin E, and lanolin to keep your hands protected. Amazon, These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, ANYTHING. Promising reviews: "I wasn't expecting much from these, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I work on cars a lot, and I don't like wearing latex gloves like so many others do. As a result, my hands get DIRTY. I usually use That Orange Stuff, but I got tired of the grit and having to wipe it off with paper towels (I don't have a sink within easy reach), so I thought I would try out these cleaning towels. I have to say, I'm impressed! They don't have any 'grit' on them per se, but they are just rough enough that they easily scrape off whatever grease I have on my hands. I'm sold on these." — thatguy "Perfect for cleaning artists' hands or quickly removing paint from clothes. I mainly use for cleaning up oil paint that has not yet dried. This was recommended by a master artist friend. It gently and quickly removes all paint from my hands and even my clothes while I"m painting." — Dot the artist 20. A garbage guard because you're not the only one who's opened a garbage lid, only to run back into the house in full panic when you see a ton of bugs fly out. Promising review:"Got an outdoor can — the kind the mechanical arm on the garbage truck picks up and tips over, with the lid opening by gravity. Placed this on the inside of the lid near the hinge to lessen the chances of it being scraped off during emptying, and no flies/maggots and no apparent odor. It just seems to put a big hurt on the fly party that used to be my trash can (thanks to litter box contents, remnants of meat, etc.)." — Michael E. Bradley 21. A weighted eye mask that's basically like a weighted blanket for your eyes. The contour design is hollowed out in the middle so that the mask isn't resting right on top of your eyes, which provides some added comfort. Amazon Promising review: "Love these. These are soft and very comfortable and seriously black out every bit of light. I love them. I would highly recommend it. I'll probably never sleep without them again." — AJ Price: $16.99 (available in four sets) 22. A bottle of Angry Orange citrus deodorizer for those pet odors that keep visitors at bay. No more being embarrassed by that super strong smell; this deodorizer is made for TOUGH JOBS. Added bonus: your cat or dog might hate the smell so bad that they'll STOP peeing on your stuff. Use a UV blacklight (as shown above) to find urine spots you didn't even know were there! Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising reviews:"Has earned its spot as the best solution for tackling strong pet odors.

A pair of fleece-lined opaque tights here to save you from freezing legs when you want to wear your favorite skirt and the weather is just too cold. Reviewers rave about the warmth, yes, but they also love that they don't snag. Promising reviews:"I recently planned a trip to Colorado, and I really wanted to wear a skirt, but I knew it would be freezing! I started searching for some fleece tights and came across these, and I absolutely loved them. They are so warm and comfy, I totally recommend getting some if you're going somewhere where it's really cold but you want to look extra, lol. I like that I didn't have to be pulling them up all the time, and they stayed in place." — Kathy "I am surprised. I don't write many reviews, but I had to on this one because I'm impressed. I wasn't expecting much because the price was so low. I expected them to fit funny because of the way the back was sewn, but I'm very happy that the cut being like that actually gives the booty some nice lift. These are not see-through even when I bend over; they lift nicely. I always am in between sizes because I have thicker legs and a smaller waist. The fabric is soft, the quality is much better than I thought it would be, and the color matches my skin tone. If you're on the fence, go ahead and add them to the cart." — Sierra beldin 24. An I Dew Care "Tap Secret" mattifying powder shampoo designed to penetrate your scalp and get rid of those greasy roots without the aerosol. Oh, it'll help to restore your volume, too. Amazon Promising review: "I was looking for a dry shampoo that would be easy to use on the go for a trip I was taking. I had no issues taking this through TSA and it was so easy to use on the go. You literally just pat the poof on your scalp and then rub the powder in. I do have black hair, so dry shampoo is usually very visible in my hair, but I didn't have any harder time than usual rubbing this powder in. It did a really good job of soaking up all the oil and giving my hair volume. I'm not a fan of the price for the amount that you get, but it is lasting longer than I thought it would. I would definitely recommend and will purchase again." — Teresa 25. A pack of Shout dye-trapping sheets because laundry is already a dreaded task, having to wash separate loads just makes it even longer. Mix whites and colored clothing together, and throw one of these sheets in the mix so your crispy white tee isn't tainted by your floral socks. By reducing the number of necessary washes, you'll save on laundry, water, and electricity. Promising review: "I've used color catchers for many years, so I can wash darks and lights together. They save time and money. You can tell they work because you see the color they soak up. If I have a garment that I know runs badly, I still wash it separately so as not to tempt fate. Recently, however, a new purple shirt took me by surprise and ran profusely. I had two color catchers in that load. They both turned deep violet. The only purple stain was on a white dish towel that had ended up next to the shirt, and I sat there with it for a couple of hours after the wash cycle finished. Everything else was fine. These are seriously one of the best home inventions of the modern era." — Go Steelers Price: $10.95 for a box of 72 (also available in packs of two and four boxes). 26. A silicone freezing tray that'll make meal prep that much easier by helping you separate your soups or pasta sauces in perfect 1-cup compartments. It comes with a lid to help maintain freshness and keep out odors. It's made of food-safe silicone that's BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Souper Cubes is a small biz that sells bake-and-freeze kitchen products. Promising review:"This is the best invention since sliced bread! How many times have you thrown out soup that you forgot about in your fridge??? Well, say goodbye to spoiled soup! Finally, a way to store measured quantities of broth, but I love to use mine for soup for These cubes are the best for freezing measured quantities of smoothies. Simply throw one in the Vitamix, and boom! You have a fresh, already icy-cold smoothie for breakfast or a snack! For anyone with limited freezer space — which, let's face it, is most of us — this is a real gem. I was a bit worried about how easily the cubes would slide out, but no problems at all! The best part is how easy the cubes store in a gallon-size Ziplock bag so you can reuse the cubes. AND they are dishwasher safe??? Souper Cubes, why did you take so long to come into my life!??! I can't wait until the holiday season so I can gift these as stocking stuffers! To anyone I know, you now know your gift." — Texas Sunshine 27. A fire extinguishing spray if you're wanting to be prepared for every situation and have yet to equip your spot with a fire extinguisher. This easy-to-use spray acts the same way and can help you doust small fires. Just put it in a safe space so you don't confuse it with nonstick cooking spray or oven cleaner. 😂 Promising review:"Purchased thinking I would never have to use, but tonight it finally happened. An oven fire. Worked exactly how it said it would, and I still have almost a full can left. So thankful for this product. Not so happy about my chicken." — Amy Price: $13.99 28. A set of Shoe Slotz that lets you double your storage by stacking one shoe on top of the other so they take up less space, which FOR MORE SHOES!!! Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has a lot of good things to say about these: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Promising review:"Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." — MoniqueRamsey Price: $29.99 for a set of 10 (also available in a pack of 20 and 40).

30 Products If You're A Slob Living With A Neat Freak And Want To Do Better
1. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and labels to help you transform your cluttered countertop or dresser into one worthy of TikTok stardom. Plus, your housemates will appreciate the newfound orderliness of all your personal accessories in the bathroom, which is a shared common if you don't always remember. Included are six blank labels to write on your own and six pre-written labels (Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Floss Picks, Hair Ties, and Bath Salt). Promising review:"These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" — tara savage Get a set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two and three). 2. A pack of duster sponges — a great alternative to the always selling out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster — that allows you to clean your surfaces effectively to remove all that lingering pet hair and dust. Simply dampen it, wipe any surface, and then rinse when you're done! Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say:"I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "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 are 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 five color packs). 3. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that honestly, I believe are the only effective way to clean your stainless steel or ceramic bottles and mugs. Seriously. Soap and water isn't cutting it! Each magical tablet removes all the grime you probably didn't even realize was there and barely requires any elbow grease to do it. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.90+. 4. A durable honeycomb drawer insert in case your drawers are literally spilling out — this fits into any size drawer and offers a geometric flair to your newly organized shirts, socks, and more. Now, your roommates or family members won't peek inside your room with disgust at all the laundry littered on the floor when they walk down the hall! Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I have, neatly organized, easy to I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $8.93. 5. Washing machine cleaning tablets to make all that mold and mildew lurking around inside of the wash disappear, and you'll notice it's working because your laundry will start smelling clean and not slightly musty like before! Promising review:"These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry. Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.98. 6. A set of space-saver bags for storing bulky clothing, bedding, or towels by vacuuming all the air inside to minimize their size so you can slide them out of sight and out of mind until you need them! Promising review:"First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." — Kimball Household Get a pack of six large bags from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six sizes and multipacks). 7. The very popular Chom Chom — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 139,000 reviewers have rated it 5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered in cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y'all are doing G-d's work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 8. A Shoe Slotz space saver to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows you to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet? Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Promising review: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" — Hercules Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in various multipacks). 9. A jar of the internet-famous The Pink Stuff, a mildly abrasive paste designed to erase even the most difficult of stains in your home, from hard water stains in the bathroom to caked-up grease and food on the stovetop. Seriously, it's earned its loyal TikTok fanbase and hundreds of thousands of positive reviews for a darn good reason. Promising review:"This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes). 10. A retro acrylic beauty organizer in case your makeup and skincare products are scattered across the bathroom sink because they have no place to go. This very chic organizer even includes a lid to keep your products dust-free and tidy on your vanity, countertop, or dresser! Amazon Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!" Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it's not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part, it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" — SGD1978 Get it from Amazon for $46.74+ (available in three colors and with or without a brush organizer). 11. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh, so all your hot tools can safely end up where they belong after use and you don't have to worry about leaving your straightener on to cool down on your countertop. 😅 Amazon Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack! Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.43+ (available in four colors). Or, check out an over-the-cabinet-door styling station. 12. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover to dissolve years of nasty-looking, impossible-to-clean mineral buildup and staining in your shower, toilet, tub, or faucet in a matter of minutes! This professional-quality cleaner will help restore your plumbing fixtures and even your brick and concrete finishings with a spray and a light scrub. One treatment can deliver results that keep repelling stains for months afterward! Promising review: "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, it's 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. 13. A storage cabinet that no one needs to know about! This unique storage solution fits behind basically any door and can be used as an easy-access cabinet for medicine, accessories, crafting supplies — whatever you need! Promising review:"This is a must-have for any small space. My bathroom has no medicine cabinet, just a mirror, and is pretty small, so storage is a huge deal. My girlfriend came across this item, so I figured I would give it a shot. I know it states it needs a two-person install, but I put this together and hung it in about an hour by myself with very minimal effort. This fits so much stuff, it really is amazing, and it does not impede any operation of the door. I can't fully explain how much I recommend this. I'm about to order the mirror version for my bedroom for colognes and little knick-knacks to declutter the countertops." — Matt C. Get it from Amazon for $219.99. 14. Dawn Powerwash which saves you time by eliminating the need for a pre-soak since the spray helps break down grease and food debris in minutes. And then you just wipe the mess away. 🥲 This is a PSA to stop peeving off your household by letting dishes "soak" overnight in the sink. Promising reviews: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 Jk have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit from Amazon for $8.44. 15. A very powerful portable vacuum cleaner that deserves a permanent place in your car, so you can actually start giving your housemates and friends rides without being embarrassed about the state of your car. It plugs into your 12V car outlet with a stretchy cord and three detailing attachments to get into all those hard-to-reach places. Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $25+ (available in three colors and with or without a cord). 16. A no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner for anyone who doesn't have enough time to deal with the stubborn rings in your bathtub — or worse, the mildew growing in the hard-to-reach corners of your shower. Simply spray down your shower after getting out and remember to rinse it before the next time you get marvel at how all the gunk disappears! Amazon, Promising review:" 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned so much gunk out of my shower I didn't even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents). 17. An expanding file folder — it fits up to 200 pieces of paper, so you can take all those receipts you've been saving over the past year and organize them by date, merchant, or whatever you were keeping them for...*shrugs* Promising reviews: "This organizes my paperwork. It holds a lot and I love the pastel color of it. It came with labels to help identify each slot. It's made of plastic but still sturdy enough." — SuzyB "I own more than six of these, and they never disappoint! I recommend it for organizing all of your documents. I personally use it to separate my tax paperwork, paid off bills, work documents, etc. The possibilities are endless." — Honest Reviews Get it from Amazon for $5.98+ (available in 13 colors). 18. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo if you own so many clothes that no empty closet space shall prosper. Now, you can keep your sweaters and tops folded neatly away in the storage shelves *and* still have space to hang skirts, pants, and other items on the bottom rod! Promising review:"I'm basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can't speak to long-term, but it's amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can't see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that's just half filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." — BobbyL Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 19. A pack of versatile, expandable, zero-tools-necessary drawer dividers, so you can quickly and effortlessly customize the interior of that one junk drawer you currently refuse to open so it'll finally function perfectly to suit your needs. Find what you're looking for in a literal instant! Promising review: "OMG...I've always had compartments and organizers but nothing like this! I now open my junk drawers and it gives me peace. Works for makeup drawers, too! Do not hesitate to buy these, definite quality and very customizable!" — Jennifer Hudson Get it from Amazon for $27.98+ (available in four colors). 20. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because a clean coffee maker = a happy household of caffeinated people! But seriously — make your roommates happy by getting a better clean on your used-many-times-a-day Keurig by simply popping in one of these cleaning pods! You'll be super grossed out, but *super* grateful when you see all the gunk coming out of your coffee maker that won't make it into your next cup. Promising review:"This was easy to use. Just pop in and let the system do the work. No downtime, no waiting. Simple and easy to use. I did notice a difference after the first use. Highly recommend it." — vetrie Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger multipacks). 21. A laundry folding board that works in less than five seconds to transform your closet and shirt drawers into an organized haven of style. Your housemates will be jumping for joy when you stop leaving baskets full of laundry all over the living room for days on end. 😭 Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five colors). 22. An adhesive cord organizer, which sticks onto your appliances, so you can easily tie up that annoying eyesore of a cord when you're not using your mixer, air fyer, blender, fan, vacuum, heater, etc. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying, 'this is so much neater!' To each their own, I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (or a four-pack for $19.95). Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. 23. A set of three drill brush scrubbing attachments that powerfully remove all the grime and gunk away on tons of surfaces, from your shower to your even your gutter! No more getting on your hands and knees and scrubbing until you're spent to clean the soap scum off your shower walls. Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). Drill Brush is a small biz created by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to properly clean without causing him harm. 24. A double-layered, water-resistant cat litter-trapping mat created with a honeycomb design to catch and trap litter your cat might track onto the floor. Sure, everyone might love cuddling up with your feline baby, but it's YOUR cat, and no one enjoys getting sand pellets stuck in their bare feet or socks. And whenever you're ready to clean, just press the sides in to open the mat and dump it out (into the litter box or trash)! Promising review:"This litter mat is a lifesaver. I was facing a real issue with my two new kittens tracking litter EVERYWHER E, so much so that I was considering switching from the litter I love to something non-tracking because there were no good alternatives. Much research later, I come across this mat. I will say it was bigger and more square than I thought, but I think that is a good thing! It is so large and covers the area well. Now, the litter tracking is 99% contained! Best litter mat I have ever had!" — Rachel Ray 25. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad because sharing the chores and bills can get expensive, but having one (or several) of these offers a more efficient and sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Your household will be grateful at the eco-friendly update and also the extra change in their pocket from making the switch! Promising review:"I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.39. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.44! Turbo Mops is a small business established in 2018 to provide eco-conscious cleaning supplies. 26. A ventilated cable management box, so you can put all those tangled cords out of sight without having to rearrange all your electronics. Trust, your household will be so grateful not to be tripping over cords every time they walk into your WFH office or living space. Amazon Promising review:" A must-buy product for your messy home or office. Exactly what I was looking for to help save space and hide my cable cords." — Andrew Olson Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 27. An automatic makeup brush cleaner because if you're not cleaning your brushes, you're doing your skin *and* products a disservice. This cleaner is designed with a textured silicone bowl, so you can get deep into those bristles and remove all that caked in eyeshadow, foundation, and yes, even glitter, out of your brushes! All you have to do is add some makeup brush shampoo (like the EcoTools one) and water, press the button, and watch as the bowl spins and does all the work while you simply hold your brushes in place. Promising reviews: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all make up brushes pretty good. I added few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… it's amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it girl!" — Mariela "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." — TaleSpinner Get it from Amazon for $20.59+ (available in three colors). 28. A bottle of Liquid Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Eliminator — a gel-based drain cleaner that literally melts hair away in three simple steps: pour, let sit, and drain with piping-hot water. And it's under $10, so definitely worth adding to your cleaning arsenal in case your household boasts a lot of long or thick-haired people and/or animals, and you don't want to have to bother with a plumber! 😭 BTW, this product is designed specifically for drains clogged with hair! For a different drain cleaner, check out this one! Having never read a review of this product, I used it and now I'm furious I didn't do a before and after photo. My shower drain, which had hair from previous tenants, soap scum deep in there, and more grossness from before I moved in five months now 98% clear and looks like a completely new drain. The hair that is still there is attached to my handy dandy drain cover, so no biggie to get rid of. This was the easiest drain product I've ever used and it didn't require me to even look at the nastiest lurking down there. All I had to do was pour the entire bottle (I poured most of it, but I was skeptical, so I saved some just in case), let it sit for 15 minutes, and then pour hot water down the drain. For this, I boiled water in my tea pot and poured it down the drain and everything is gone! I could cry. This is my new go-to drain product from now on — so if your drain is gross and you want nothing to do with it, definitely grab a bottle of this! Promising review: "Our drain was super clogged with hair and soap scum! Three women, a golden retriever, and a golden doodle! So when I say super clogged, I mean SUPER CLOGGED. No water was draining. I tried to use one of those sticks that you put down the drain to pull hair out and I got very little. I started a big pot of water on the stove, but I didn't let it get to a boil. I poured the whole pot of water in and BAM, the tub took a second and it drained. Honestly, I thought I was at the point of having to call a plumber, so I was shocked. I turned the water on and filled up the tub just to see what happened, and it kept draining perfectly! We're at about a month later and she's still draining like a champ! So, I would recommend this product a million times over, 10/10!" — Ian Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 29. A pack of restorative wipes to bring new life back into your faded surfaces and furniture, so that it looks like you just brought it home. These work on everything from vinyl, plastic, and painted surfaces to metal and fiberglass. Plus, they even help protect your items from future damage! Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home Get five wipes from Amazon for $12.83. 30. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll help disappear annoying fingerprints, stains, and other miscellaneous residue that ends up on your sleek, shiny appliances. It even comes with a microfiber cloth for streak-free cleaning that delivers a shine reviewers swear lasts for days! Promising review:"If you have a Sub-Zero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It's a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff. Oh wow! A few seconds of polishing and it looks amazing!! it has never looked this good, this shiny, and this clean! Best product ever!" — Katerina Get it from Amazon for $19.95. The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

37 Cleaning Products With Jaw-Dropping Results — And We Have The Receipts
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Including a genius tool for cleaning your cast iron skillet. 1. A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets that'll help remove stains and odors from any water bottles or coffee tumblers that you've left unwashed for an embarrassingly long time. It happens. Just fill your cup with warm water, drop the tablet in, and wait 15-30 minutes; rinse your cup, then get back to hydrating and/or caffeinating yourself. These are biodegradable and odor-free. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a set of 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.90+ (also available in packs of 36 and 78). 2. A well-loved robotic vacuum Amazon reviewers have raved about. You can schedule cleaning times right from the included remote, and it'll return to the charging dock once it's done, so you can truly set it and forget it. Your guests will have no idea your new maid is actually a robot. Promising review:"I've been in the market for a robotic vacuum for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." — Tchgt Get the Slim 11S model from Amazon for $229.99 (also available in the 11S Max model with stronger suction power). 3. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads because it's time to say goodbye to the wasteful disposable ones you've been spending way too much money on. These even have helpful Velcro straps so the pad won't go flying off when you're scrubbing your kitchen floor. They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. Promising review: "I am amazed at how good these Reusable Mop Pads really are!! I rarely do reviews — but I have ordered several different reusable products for my Swiffer only to throw them out later. These are extremely well-made and easy to use. Fits my mop easily without struggling to put them on, absorbent and they wash beautifully. I first tried it as a dry mop (I have a lab who sheds), and it worked beautifully. Then I tried it with some hardwood floor cleaner on my floor, and again, it was a winner. After writing this review, I am off to purchase another pack because they are that good." — EP Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95. 4. And a Shark steam mop so you can stop fumbling around with a bulky old-school mop and bucket. This sleek device uses the power of steam to lift away grime, so it's perfect for any caked-on dirty or mud that would require some serious elbow grease with a regular mop. You can also remove the dirt pads with the touch of a button — so you won't even have to make contact with the dirty cloth until it's time to wash it! It comes with three steam-level controls and two washable double-sided microfiber pads. Promising review: "OK, I admit it was an impulse buy. Wow, was I shocked when I used it the first time! Three dogs with a doggie door causes paw prints and dirt and it would take me up to three hours to really deep clean my hardwood floors. From setup to cleaning, getting shiny floors took about 45 minutes! It was super easy and fast deep cleaning!!! I really do believe whoever created this is a genius! Brilliant!" — Michelle Get it from Amazon for $109.95. 5. A dishwasher-friendly cage for all your baseball caps that are starting to look a bit too dingy to pass off as "vintage." Just pop it on the top shelf and let the dishwasher work its magic. Amazon, The cage is designed to work with both flat and curved designs, as well as both adult and kid sizes. Promising review:"Works like a charm! It's given new life to my favorite baseball caps, some of which, I'm sad to report, have suffered tragically in washing machine incidences. Never would I have considered the dishwasher, but Ballcap Buddy said yes, so I tried it. Not only did my caps get clean, but they retained their shape. It's a perfect way to wash a baseball cap. Different styles, different colors, and materials all came out the same: looking good." — Mcharmony Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors). 6. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray specifically designed to win the fight against the greasy nastiness that's been living on your oven door for far too long now. You can also use it to spruce up range hoods (it's probably way dirtier than you think right now), microwaves, pots and pans, and any food-prep surfaces. Just spray and wipe — or leave it on for up to two minutes for caked-on messes. Promising review:"Wow! A degreaser that actually works! I love the foam, which starts to work immediately on my stove top as well as cookware and other kitchen surfaces." — P. Webb Get it from Amazon for $7.34+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 7. Or an all-natural oven scrub made with gritty pumice stone, so you can really go to town on that pizza that exploded and left a mess everywhere. It'll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on the racks — because yes, those need cleaning, too. Everneat/Etsy Promising review:"Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface), and the rings came right off! These are those 'oh, crap, the pot boiled over' rings that I ignored that lead to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great." — Jessie Bono Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in cleaning products. Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $20 (available in three scents). 8. A makeup brush cleaning shampoo for all of you who can't remember the last time you actually cleaned them. Your skin will thank you for washing away all the caked-up grime and bacteria lurking in those bristles. It's designed for any type of brush hair, and the hypoallergenic formula is made without fragrance so it's safe for sensitive skin. Don't forget to pick up the brand's makeup brush cleansing pad so you can really scrub all that residue away. Promising review:"Best, most affordable brush-and-sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything, even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." — Lily Get it from Amazon for $6+ (available in two sizes). 9. A bathroom cleaner made with natural ingredients like tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils to leave your tiles shining and tub as sparkly as the day you moved in. Plus, it's free from fumes and synthetic dyes, so you won't have to worry about any mid-chore headaches. Promising review:"I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a two-pack). 10. A broom for pet and human hair so you can rake up everything lurking beneath the surface that your vacuum can't reach. You'll be shook when you see all the hair and dust that's hiding out in your area rugs. You can also use it on hardwood floors, and the handle extends to 5 feet to help you reach basically every area of your home. Promising review:"Just received and tried it immediately. Handle screws into brush easily, and the handle itself can be lengthened or shortened for us shorter [folks], with just a twist on the rubber ring on the handle. This broom swept up more hair than I could actually see on the floor. I was amazed! Floors are tile and laminate wood, and this broom works as well if not better than having to drag out the vacuum cleaner." — Textulip Get it from Amazon for $20.26. 11. And a ChomChom pet hair remover roller to pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in its wake. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon with 145,000+ perfect ratings) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair, and the quick-release button makes it a breeze to remove the fur from the roller brush. Promising review:"I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion, and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." — Ian K. Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 12. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in - just activate with water!) that'll make scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds! Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98. 13. A grout cleaning kit to loosen up all the dirt in between your tiles, because a sparkly-clean floor can go a surprisingly long way in revitalizing your bathroom or kitchen. This only needs up to 10 minutes to work its magic, then all you have to do is give the grout a quick scrub and rinse. The kit comes with two bottles of Grout-Eez and a scrubber you can attach to a standard mop or broom pole. Promising review:"This is an excellent product. I have tried several grout cleaners over the past 15 years since the majority of our flooring has been ceramic tile. This product surpassed all of them. In fact, nothing has ever worked this quickly. The three best features included (1) the instructions on both the bottle and with the product were clear, and I followed them to a tee; (2) the perfect brush that came with it that fit perfectly into my grout lines and was easy to attach to an existing handle and (3) how easily the soil was removed from the grout. I would recommend using this around one tile first and definitely wait the 10 minutes then wiggle the brush in the grout lines. The soil comes up quickly." — Karen Cleen-eez is a small business specializing in cleaning products. Get a set from Amazon for $39.95. 14. A headlight restoration kit so you can stop squinting to see what's ahead of you every time the sun goes down. You'll start by applying the "surface activator," then polish away dirt and grime with the included sandpaper. Then apply a coat of the UV-block clear coat, and now your headlines will be back to that fresh-off-the-lot brightness you haven't seen in years. Reviewers say it requires some extra time and elbow grease, but it's worth it for the wow-worthy results. Promising review:"This headlight restoration kit is priced right, and it just WORKS! Just buy it! I have a 2002 Tundra. The headlight lenses had become completely opaque, having over twenty years of accumulated damage resulting from UV exposure. I used the Sylvania kit, applying the treatment in accordance with the instructions. At first, I wondered if the amount of sandpaper included with the kit was enough, but it was. Be sure to mask the area around your headlights so that you don't scuff your paint or trim with the sandpaper. It took me about 45 or 50 minutes to do, and it's very easy. The kit came with everything I needed to clean and treat my headlights. The results were AWESOME! The final task is to apply a UV protective coating. My headlight lenses look absolutely brand new, and I can see so much better now when driving at night! It's been one year since I applied this treatment, and they're still perfectly clear!" — OkieFlyer Get it from Amazon for $21.75. 15. A beloved car interior cleaner that'll have your ride back to the way it looked before that beach trip left it completely covered in wet sand. It's designed to work on leather, vinyl, plastic, rubber, and glass — so feel free to spray away. Promising review:"This does exactly what I wanted — clean all the interior surfaces of my car while not leaving any residues, streaks, or strong odors. I first used this on my 4-month-old Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that was CAKED in dust (inside!) from a recent off-road adventure. The Total Interior cleaner cleaned all my surfaces — dash, screen, leather seats, etc. without leaving any streaky residues or strong odors, good or bad. After things settled, my car looked and smelled new again!" – T. Porter Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in three sizes, three scents, and various bundles). 16. A leather cleaner to polish up and add some shine to any furniture, shoes, or accessories that have seen better days. But don't use it right out of the bottle! Dilute it with eight ounces of water for every two tablespoons of cleaning solution, then apply and wipe away any dirt and grime with no scrubbing required! You can also use it on faux leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber. Promising review:"My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." — jellybean55 Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes). 17. A flexible coil lint and dust brush so you can finally reach all the dust in your dryer vent (built-up lint is a fire hazard, btw!) and the crumbs that are hiding underneath your oven and fridge. I'm shuddering just thinking about what's living under there. The full length of the brush with handle is 27.5 inches, while the actual brush itself is 13.5 inches. Promising review:"I use one in the dryer filter area and one under the refrigerator. They get dust I can't get any other way. I gave five stars for durability even though I've had them for only a short time. They feel sturdy to last long enough for me." — ASF Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99 (also available individually and in a three-pack). 18. A cleaning kit that'll make your ceramic cooktop look as shiny and flawless as the day you moved in. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this, it looks like my stove could be brand-new." — Christi Lambertson Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in two sizes and a set with three pads). 19. A pack of AirPod cleaners — because you'd be shocked and appalled by the amount of earwax that gets trapped in those things. Plus, these work with any type of headphones, so you give your wired pair a good cleaning, too, if you like to keep it old school. See it in action on TikTok here! Promising review:"I did NOT expect the results I got. I often clear my ears of wax, and still, the amount these removed from my AirPods was baffling. One square of this putty was enough to clean the pair entirely. When I was done, they looked good as new. The effect on sound quality and volume was instantaneous — and now I can hear things through my AirPods again!" — Grace S. Get 12 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of 24). 20. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner to clean up all the stains left on your seats from the time you spilled your Dunkin' order everywhere. It works on leather, carpet, vinyl, and plastic — so you can spritz it basically anywhere and get to scrubbing as the ~nano-technology~ helps lift away dirt and grime. Do I know exactly what ~nano-technology~ is? No!!! Do I suddenly want to use it to clean absolutely everything? Yes!!! Note: Do not use on glass, clear plastics (like on your pedometer), media screens, alcantara, or suede. Promising review:"Holy moly, how did I never know that this existed?? This cleaner is nothing short of a miracle!! My backseat bench has been dirty with mystery stains now for at least a decade, stains that were created by little kids, various passengers, cargo, who knows. I tried EVERYTHING to get out the hazy, dirty staining on my charcoal-colored seats to no avail. Hot water and soap, alcohol-based rubs, carpet cleaners, fabric cleaners — literally EVERYTHING, plus lots of elbow grease. I grew frustrated and resigned that my car would look like a dump forever. Then I started doing some research and came upon this cleaner. Many reviews stated it was the best thing ever, car sites named it their top choice, etc. I decided it's worth a last-ditch try, and boy, I am so glad I did! It took four to five sprays, some minor agitating and rubbing with a broad brush, then wiped off with the enclosed cloth, and whaddaya know?? POOF! STAINS GONE! I simply can't believe how easy this was and how pain free. I will go tomorrow and clean ALL my car seats! I highly recommend this, it's the bomb." — Manddun Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes). 21. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which has become so TikTok-famous it's racked up 154,000 positive ratings. It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected ovens with the help of a little elbow grease. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available with a scrubbing sponge). 22. A powerful spray to break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower is actually supposed to look like. Promising review:"I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand-new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack). 23. And a mold and mildew stain remover in a squeezable gel formula that can cling onto awkward vertical and inclined surfaces and fit in tight spaces. Just squeeze, walk away, then give it a quick rinse in the morning to reveal some jaw-dropping results. Promising review:"The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this, and with one application, it is bright, shiny, and white again! If this hadn't worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them." — Planetary Drive Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you, because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These tablets will break down lime and mineral buildup in the main compartment, internal pumps, and the pump and valve — so your dishes will come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials. You can place one in the detergent tray and run a normal cycle. An additional tablet can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher for a deeper clean. You can also use it while cleaning dishes by placing a tablet in the bottom of your dishwasher when running a normal cycle. Promising review:"Definitely worth trying! I moved into a new place and discovered the hard way that the previous tenant was a disgusting slob — and I mean GROSS. About 6 weeks in, some random grease clog happened somewhere in our plumbing/something went wrong, and my sink and dishwasher began emptying (unbeknownst to me at first) into my downstairs neighbor's kitchen. Long story short, everything was replaced and repaired but my dishwasher smelled horribly rotten and seemed to just make dishes dirtier. Oily and stinky, somehow, no matter how much prewash/soap/good old scrub the dishwasher on your knees, I did. It was beyond useless; it was making my kitchen stink. My landlord was unconcerned at this point because the problems had *technically* been fixed. (Yeah, one of those). THIS PRODUCT WAS WORTH, FOR ME, 3X WHAT I PAID. One tablet worked wonders, and a second was probably not needed, but I did one anyway, and I'm just absolutely amazed. It's better than it was when I moved in. If only this could fix up the rest of my apartment for me!!?!" — Mirwonderful Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a two-pack of six-count boxes). 25. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to get all the dirt and grime out of your trusty coffee companion. Simply place it in your Keurig like a typical K-Cup, brew on the largest cup size, remove the cleaning pod, and then brew another round of hot water to rinse. You'd be surprised how much coffee residue and old coffee grounds can get stuck in the dispenser. Promising review:"I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" — Corey West Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95. 26. A pack of cleaning erasers that only need water to remove stains — they're more affordable than name brands but magic, if you catch my drift. These little melamine sponges can quickly lift away tough stains, grease, soap scum, and anything else that your typical all-purpose cleaner just isn't tackling. All you gotta do is wet and swipe! Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker, and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house, and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenally on the whites of shoes that look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" — TShepp Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a pack of 100). 27. A Folex carpet cleaner more than 76,000 reviewers keep on hand to clean up everything from spaghetti mishaps to coffee spills in the car. It also lives up to the "instant" in its name: simply spray the stain, agitate for a few seconds, then wipe away! Promising review:"It's a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain, and now it's like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy-good cleaning power. I've become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." — L. Logan Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and various pack sizes). 28. And an internet-beloved pet urine stain–removing spray 84,000 pet owners swear by — it's powerful enough to tackle the ~surprise~ your dog left behind when you came home way too late that one night. It'll also help neutralize odors, so your carpet will basically be as fresh and vibrant as the day you moved in. Start by saturating the area with a few sprays, let it sit 5-10 minutes, then blot the stain away and air dry. For deep odors, apply the spray to the area, let sit for at least an hour, place a towel and weighted object on top to remove residual liquid, then give it a vacuum once it's dry. Promising review:"This product is great and works well. I have had a long-standing pet urine smell in the 1930s wood floors from a prior occupant. After several applications, the smell is gone. The product has a mild pleasing smell that dissipates over time, which I really appreciate given my sensitivity to smells. Highly recommended." — Roberto Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 29. A cleaning putty so you can get the dust and debris out of every nook and cranny in your car — from the crevices of your air-conditioning vent to the random spots in between your seats. This Flubber-like cleaner has impressed over 42,000 reviewers. Promising review:"WOW!!! This stuff is incredible! I work in an environment that is very dirty and our office is always covered in a fine layer of dust. But just a few minutes spent mashing this slime into all the cracks and crevices of my keyboard, mouse, phone, etc. and it's all clean as can be! This stuff picks up dirt on contact and leaves behind a clean, no smell, no residue surface. I bought a second jar for my vehicle and it works miracles in there as well. My air vents, shifter and seats are now spotless. I couldn't be happier with this product." — Jenna75 Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in three colors). 31. A jetted tub cleaner for anyone who desperately needs a relaxing bath but whose bathtub is a little too grimy for comfort. It'll remove all the gunk trapped in the places you can't even see, so your tub will be the cleanest it's ever been. Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic-safe! Only takes about 15 minutes to clean! Promising review:"Love this stuff. I was skeptical at first. I am a huge germaphobe and this worked well enough for me to actually take a bath at my new place with the jets on!" — Ann Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two). 32. A pair of handheld scrapers that will make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. It's gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, this won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces. Promising review:"Necessary tool to clean your cast iron pots and pans. Perfectly contoured to the rounded corners used by Lodge in their pans so you'll get any food stuck to your pan off easily. The plastic is sturdy and malleable but not so much that it will deform. Been using them for a couple months now, and I haven't had them break. And since I still can't get a properly seasoned coating on my pans, I have a lot of food that sticks (my fault), but these scrapers get pretty much everything off easily." — JGtz Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.63. 33. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover if your shower is starting to resemble the set of Saw 25 or whatever number they're currently on. From hard water buildup to limescale and rust, this minty-fresh cleaner can bring tubs and shower doors back to life in just a few minutes. Plus, it's biodegradable and safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, granite, stainless steel, marble, brass, and porcelain. Promising review:" I love that this product is eco friendly! I wasn't scared to use the product even though I'm pregnant. The scent kind of reminds me of toothpaste and wasn't strong. I did a quick application using an old scotch blue sponge on my bathroom shower to apply it. I left it on for about 10-15 minutes and then had my husband wash it off. He said he didn't do much scrubbing because everything just kind of came off on its own. For the corners for the shower, he used an old toothbrush to reach those difficult spots. He said those crusty areas pretty much just came off on its own with some rinsing. Amazing! I'm so glad I bought this stuff instead of some other brand I saw on Amazon which was caustic! I'd much rather wait 10 minutes for an eco friendly non toxic product to work. If you're on the fence about buying this, do it already! I wish I had discovered this sooner instead of dealing with a gross and embarrassing looking shower for so long! There were a few spots I missed or and some areas need a second application but I expected that. It took years for all that hard water to build up, I wasn't expecting it to be gone overnight. I expect the shower to look good as new after we get do a second application of this." — S. Ngov Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 34. A drill brush kit to turn your power drill into the ultimate cleaning tool you never knew you needed. The nylon bristles won't leave behind any scratches, so you can scrub away without worrying about ruining your tub, toilet, baseboards, or any other surface that needs an intense cleaning. The kit comes with three different sizes of brushes so you can tackle both big and small messes. Promising review:"I bought this on a whim because my walk in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so hand scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door ... everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." — Terry Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors with various bristle textures). 35. A microwave steam cleaner, because the mess in there doesn't just disappear when you close the door and walk away. This little device uses the power of sheer anger (and steam) to eliminate dirt and stains with ease. If you're microwave is covered in caked-on tomato sauce, this will take care of it in less than 10 minutes! Fill it up with vinegar and water (there are helpful fill lines inside for each!), microwave for 5-8 minutes, then remove after two additional minutes and wipe away any mess! Promising review:"This little device is great and it's super simple. Fill to the lines with vinegar and water, nuke for seven minutes, let it sit for two minutes, then wipe clean. My embarrassingly super-gross microwave wiped completely clean with a couple of paper towels. I highly recommend this." — UglyPetty Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 36. A not-for-the-faint-of-stomach FlexiSnake to unclog any of the many drains in your house that are filled with hair. It's also weirdly fun to operate: just place it down the drain, give a spin with the handle, then remove the hairball that was making your shower take 30 minutes to fully drain. Amazon, Promising review:"I don't write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn't really read the instructions, but it's pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won't be disappointed." — Linsey Walker Get the handle and five 18-inch refills from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two other lengths). 37. A double-sided hairbrush-cleaning brush because, as Xzibit might say, I heard you like brushes so here's a brush to clean your brush. Yes, you should be giving your hairbrush a routine cleaning to remove hair, built-up oils, and grime — and this cleaning device makes it so easy to get into all the nooks and crannies. Promising review:"This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand, but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice, clean hair with a brush full of dirty, oily hair and dust? When you really think about it, it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." — emmaline Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
