Kedah and Perak ineligible to play in the Super League
No encore: Kedah players paying respects to their fans at the Darulaman Stadium during a Super League match earlier this season. PETALING JAYA: Two of Malaysia's football heavyweights Kedah and Perak face an uncertain future after failing to obtain the National Licence required for participation in the 2025-2026 Super League season. According to an announcement by the Malaysian Football League (MFL) First Instance Body (FIB), both teams were denied licences due to non-compliance with the financial criteria set out in the MFL Club Licensing Regulations (CLR). Without the licence, Kedah and Perak are currently ineligible to compete in the upcoming Super League, unless a successful appeal or corrective action is made in time with a new investor set to come in. It is learnt that Kedah have also applied to play in the A1 Semi-Pro League, while Perak remain a mystery though in the past there were hints that the team would not pull out. Amateur Football League (AFL) chairman Datuk Yusoff Mahadi said the A1 Semi-Pro League under his stewardship could be a platform for both these teams to rebuild and be part of the big league one day. 'We do not want teams, who when they fall, immediately go missing. The A1 League should be a platform for Kedah and Perak to stay alive, to keep fighting,' he said. 'These teams now need the space to breath, rearrange and slowly build their strength. Our hope is to see them in the big league again.' The MFL FIB confirmed that 11 Super League clubs have successfully obtained their licences, including Johor Darul Ta'zim, Selangor, Penang, Kuching City, Sabah, Terengganu, Pahang and Negri Sembilan. Pahang's status in the league seems to be in limbo in the beginning but looks like the Elephants have done a U-turn and will compete in the top division. However, three clubs were only granted licences with sanctions. They are Kuala Lumpur, Kelantan and Police. These clubs are required to submit additional financial documentation by May 31. Failure to do so could lead to their licences being revoked. From the A1 Semi-Pro League, Melaka and Immigration were granted exceptional licences under Article 15 of the MFL CLR, allowing them to compete in the Super League next season. FIB chairman Sheikh Mohd Nasir Sheikh Mohd Sharif stressed that licences are only issued to clubs that comply with six key criteria, which are sporting, infrastructure, personnel administration, legal, financial, and business. 'I congratulate all clubs that succeeded and appreciate their efforts in ensuring full compliance with the licensing standards,' he said. Another team that will be joining the league are Brunei, who officially confirmed on their website that they will be part of the Super League and have signed rightback Fairuz Zakaria from Penang for the Super League challenge.

15 years on, MKU contract workers waiting for regularisation of jobs in TN
MADURAI: Over 350 contract workers who have been working in Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) for over 15 years have urged the authorities to regularise their jobs. According to sources, 386 non-teaching staff are working in the university as Casual Labour (CLR) and Consolidated Pay Casual Labour (CPCLR). Of this, CPCLR workers are paid Rs 7,500 -Rs 12,500 and CLR workers are paid Rs 500 per day for average 22 days of work in a month. The employees work in various positions, including drivers, assistants, gardeners etc. Speaking to TNIE, MKU CPCLR association president M Savariguru said a total of 214 CPCLRs and 172 CLRs have been working for a long time nursing hopes of permanent jobs. "Of the 386 workers, more than 50% are degree holders. Earlier, without any prior notice, the then Vice Chancellor J Kumar removed 135 CPCLR and CLRs from service. We are afraid this may be repeated again," he said. He further stated that the DMK in its election manifesto had assured to regularise the contract workers, and requested Chief Minister MK Stalin to take steps to regularise the workers. Speaking to TNIE, Madurai Kamaraj University SC/ST Employees Welfare Association president C Muniyandi said " There are 429 SC/ST vacancies in various positions. MKU has not filled vacancies for more than ten years. More than 120 CPCLRs and CLRs are eligible under this category. In 2020, the syndicate gave approval to absorb CPCLRs and CLRs, but till now efforts have not been taken," he said. An MKU official, requesting anonymity, said the process to recruit non-teaching staff would be initiated soon and the demand of CPCLRs, CLRs would be considered at that time.

Award-winning research advances breast cancer image classification
MUSCAT: Among the standout projects at the 11th National Research Award organised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MoHERI), the study titled 'Feed-forward networks using logistic regression and support vector machine for whole-slide breast cancer histopathology image classification' by Dr ArunaDevi Karuppasamy, Assistant Professor at the Department of Computing Sciences, Gulf College, received top honours in the Information and Communication Technologies field (PhD category). Dr ArunaDevi's research addresses the critical challenge of histopathology image classification, essential for breast cancer diagnosis. While traditional methods rely on hand-crafted features, her study explores feed-forward approaches, proposing Convolutional Logistic Regression (CLR) and Convolutional Support Vector Machine (CSVM-H) networks. Dr ArunaDevi Karuppasamy These methods leverage predefined or externally learned filters, overcoming limitations of back-propagation techniques such as vanishing gradients and heavy data requirements. Experiments showed that CLR and CSVM-H achieved superior accuracy and faster training times on small datasets from Sultan Qaboos University Hospital (SQUH) and BreaKHis, outperforming traditional models like VggNet-16 and ResNet-50. Both models demonstrated high Area Under Curve (AUC) scores (0.83 and 0.84 on the SQUH dataset), highlighting their efficiency for small, labelled datasets with limited computational resources.

If You Want Your Brain Tickled In The Best Way Possible, Check Out These 48 Products With Satisfying Results
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. Shopping · Some of these before-after-after images are truly making me believe in miracles. 1. Anua heartleaf pore-clearing cleansing oil that dissolves makeup residue, blackheads, and excess sebum *without* clogging pores or over-drying skin. Reviewers say that they could actually see the oils and gunk leaving their face — kinda gross, very satisfying, and a major slay. BTW, a lot of reviewers say they use this as part of their double cleansing routine. As the name implies, double cleansing is a method of cleansing your face twice: first with an oil-based cleanser, and again with a water-based cleanser to help get all the yucky stuff out of your pores. Promising review:"This is my first time ordering an oil-based cleanser and I'm so glad I purchased this one. I originally saw this product on TikTok and wanted to see what the hype was all about. After using the cleanser on my dry face for 2–3 minutes, I could visibly see my white- and blackheads on my fingers. I was a little hesitant to try oil cleansing because I have acne-prone skin, however, my face has never looked better. After each use, my face is as soft as a baby's bottom and my scarring doesn't look as deep! The cleanser has a light clean scent. Not super strong! I am currently pairing this cleanser with the Anua Heartleaf soothing toner to achieve glass skin. #glassskinera" — Myshel Cagle Get it from Amazon for $17.69. 2. The Pink Stuff, aka the Swiss Army knife of cleaning products because it can do it all. You can literally scrub your house from top to bottom with this jar of miracle paste and make everything ✨ sparkle ✨ once again. You got dirty grout? Gone. Grease? Good riddance. The caked-on gunk at the bottom of your cast-iron pan that seems impossible to get rid of? Buh-bye!!! Promising reviews:"I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don't even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." — Hailey Peters " 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 fire place 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 CLR wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 3. A Hard As Hoof nail-strengthening cream that helps renew your fingernails after years of nail biting or peeling off acrylics. If your nails are prone to cracking or peeling, the calcium, vitamin, and hydrogenated jojoba oil formula can help keep them hydrated and strong. Promising review:"Achieved holy grail status. My entire life I have had very weak nails that split. Regular manicures aren't helpful, neither are supplements or a healthy diet. No underlying health issues to contribute to this. I bought this a month ago on a recommendation. I'm pretty amazed that within three days I saw a significant improvement with the cuticles and my nails have been getting stronger ever since. For the first time ever my nails look healthy and strong and I can wear polish and still see benefits. Some of the reviews talk about a weird cherry smell but I think I have a reformulated one that smells light and pleasant, like shea butter. I have since bought two for the office and one for my car. GAME CHANGER!" — R. Weber Get it from Amazon for $8.88. 4. And a nail renewal formula so you can treat that poor, discolored toe that you stubbed on the side of your bed (but obviously it was the bed's fault, duh, not yours). You'll start to see reduced discoloration and improved texture in as little as two days — don't believe me? Then trust these reviewers! This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve their appearance, *and* reduce discoloration and thickness, leaving you with some dramatic results. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (also available with a nail file). 5. A wire-free bra with a drawstring in the middle that'll give your boobs a push and allow you to adjust the tightness. Can a regular push-up bra do that? I think NOT. Promising review: "I usually go to Victoria's Secret for their bombshell bra, pay way too much, and deal with being uncomfortable from having to layer a sports bra over it to keep my boobs in place. But I am a huge fan of this bra. The fit is great, comfy wide band and adjustable. I can wear it every day all day, and I will forget it's there every time because of how soft it is. I don't have to keep fluffing it up." — Shadow witch Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes 32A–40C and nine colors). 6. Tonymoly's octopus-shaped scrub stick to help remove whiteheads and blackheads *and* exfoliate your skin. You can just rinse it off with warm water when you're done, so no need to buy those costly one-time-use pore strips. Promising review: "I am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flaky skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done, my face looked SO much better and was super smooth; I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" — Diane Delfino Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 7. A stain and odor eliminator because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of saying, "Bad dog!" you'll be shouting, "Amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that — gone. Check out why this TikToker loves this stuff here. Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I'm potty training a puppy and it's not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I'm writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I'm buying more the second I'm done with this review. I love it." — lexi Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 8. An earwax removal kit so next time someone whispers in your ear, you won't have to scream "HUH???" This will soften and loosen earwax for easy cleaning so you'll be able to hear everything loud and clear. Check out the customer review pics to see serious *chunks* removed from their ears! Promising review:"My right ear has been plugged up for months. I squirted warm water in there, peroxide, tried various ear scraper tools, then just gave up. A month or so later, I saw this product at a local CVS, and gave it a try. Laid on couch with several drops in my ear for a half hour. I could hear weird fizzing noises. Then I flushed warm water in my ear with the included soft bulb syringe, and out came the culprit. Had to have been deep in there." — fixitforgood Get it from Amazon for $8.97. 9. A stainless-steel skin spatula that scrapes all the gunk from your face. The vibration brings out blackheads, dirt, and oils from your pores, making them easy to remove. For less than $20, think about how much you'll save instead of going for a facial! Promising review:"I have very very deep blackheads to the point where you would think they are tiny freckles. I've tried all cleansers and then went with the blackhead suction tool and nothing helped. I used this thing ONE TIME and I can not believe the wonders that it has worked. Most of the blackheads were gone after 10 minutes of use. I also have very sensitive skin, but it didn't hurt or damage the skin whatsoever! I watched a YouTube review as I was doing it to make sure I was doing it correctly. Just buy it. I swear on this amazing creation!" — Kassi Miller Get it from Amazon for $15.78+ (available in three colors). 10. And a stainless-steel tongue scraper so you can remove all the buildup and soft plaque that's been living on your tongue. It'll remove that weird taste from your mouth and odor-causing bacteria, so the next time someone offers you a stick of gum, you'll know it's NOT because you have bad breath. is a US-based small biz that specializes in oral care products. Promising review:"I had a tool similar to this years ago, but it was plastic and shaped a little differently, and I just didn't see much results, so I didn't stick with using it. But this tongue scraper is by far above and beyond anything I have used in the past. The immediate results were disgusting, which is a good thing in this case;-). An added plus is the cute travel bag that comes with your purchase. Solid purchase!" — Lyra18 Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in multipacks). 11. An impressive peanut butter knife that had to have been designed by a genius. It'll get out all the PB from the sides, bottom, and crevices so you can enjoy every. last. drop. #PBloversunite! Promising review: "It will save your life! Give you wings! Make you taller! More handsome! It will reverse male-pattern baldness!! It will teach your dog to behave! Has been known to bring feuding families back to an amicable place of respect and love! Your glass will always be half full! You will suddenly find yourself only grabbing on-sale items when grocery shopping (by accident even!). Just having one PB-Jife in the household has been noted as a confirmed good luck charm and beacon for positivity and fortune to befall you!* " Here I am full of life, typing this with my CLEAN HANDS AND KNUCKLES after scraping the bottom of a big ol' peanut butter jar out in two seconds effortlessly. It might look big and awkward (it's a monster of a one-use tool), but seriously, if you have an intense dislike for getting PB on your fingertips dealing with jars — this is the solution you've been looking for. Long live PB-Jife. "*Will not do anything in that first paragraph. I'm sorry." — CW Get it from Amazon for $12.99. 12. A cruelty-free lengthening mascara to enhance your beautiful lashes thanks to its cone-shaped fiber brush. The best part: The formula is clump-free! Reviewers say it gives the same (if not better) results as name-brand mascaras for less than $5, AND it has over 248,000 5-star ratings! Promising review:"I rarely post reviews. To actually type out something positive or negative just isn't my thing unless something is epic. Well, this product is EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!! My 12-year-old daughter asked me for this because all of her friends were using it. For $5, I thought, I'll try one for myself because the reviews were great. I mean WOWZER! I waited until I had worn it all day through a workday. I put this mascara on over 12 hours ago. It glided on so easy and smooth, like none of the mascaras I've ever used, and boom! Thick and volume lashes with no clumps. I don't look like spider legs are growing either. I will say that it's flaked a bit this afternoon, but seriously, it hit the 12-hour mark with no problems whatsoever." — Ryan Davis Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in two colors and as a pack of three). And check out our full Essence Lash Princess Mascara review for more details. 13. A bottle of Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle because your kids and pets have been dragging dirt inside your home for way too long, and it's finally time to clean it. This formula will tackle any messes and spills, leaving your carpet as good as new. This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners. Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in biodegradable cleaning products. Promising review: "Worth every penny. I've bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I'd give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I'll never use another cleaner." — Wendy Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents). 14. Painless, mint-flavored teeth-whitening pens that can help remove years of staining and only take 30 seconds to apply! Your teeth will be so white that you'll never want to stop smiling. C'mon, show off those all-natural veneers. Promising review:"I have bought so many products to whiten my teeth, and none worked as well nor were as reasonably priced as this pen. Two days into using this pen twice a day, I could see a significant difference. This took out stains from coffee, tea, and wine and even removed the discoloration from previously smoking. I wish I found this product sooner! One thing I noticed was that this doesn't cause any teeth sensitivity. I am super impressed and will continue to use this for years to come." — Alicia Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 15. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it with vinegar and water, heat it up, and wipe down the inside once all the steam runs out (which takes around seven minutes). There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama! Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 16. A brush kit that you attach to a drill. A DRILL. If you don't want to scrub the heck out of your mildew-infested tub (aka an unwarranted workout sesh), just attach it to the head and let the tool do it for ya — all you need to do is move it around! Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying! The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon! Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla. It specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." — Jason B. Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles). 17. A Korean exfoliating mitt to buff all those dead, dry skin cells with its viscose fiber material, leaving you smooth as butter. This bb has the gripping power that loofahs and chemical exfoliants don't have, so it does a way better job of removing all the dead flakes. And afterward, your bod will absorb all your moisturizers and lotions even better! Watch someone use it to remove their self-tanner buildup on TikTok! Promising review:"I have always used body scrubs, so many different kinds and brands. When using this mitt I didn't see much dead skin but I wasn't expecting to since I consistently use body scrub. After using this mitt my skin has never felt softer or smoother. I wish I found this sooner, I would have saved a lot of money not buying buying scrubs. This is a wonderful price for a wonderful product. If it is in your cart buy it now!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available as a pair). 18. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 147,000 5-star reviews (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it "the best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out! Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed Promising review:" If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three styles). 19. A descaling solution so you can finally rid your coffee machine or espresso maker of limescale and mineral buildup without scrubbing. It'll extend the life of your machine *and* make your cup o' joe taste better. Promising review:"I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." — Lenore Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 20. And a set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to cleanse your machine of old coffee grinds and residue. Just pop it in like you would with a K-Cup and let it run. It can help extend your Keurig's lifespan and make your coffee taste super-duper fresh! Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95. 21. A jar of super moisturizing O'Keeffe's hand cream that may be the savior for your extremely dry, cracked hands. It's a concentrated moisturizer (unscented and non-greasy!) that will actually keep 'em hydrated instead of wearing off after an hour. For best results, you should apply the cream after washing your hands, after showering, and at bedtime. Promising review:"I didn't think it could work as well as everyone said it did. My BF has working man hands and they crack and are very painful. I wanted to get him something to ease that and I immediately remembered hearing of this brand. They didn't disappoint! He noticed a HUGE difference within the first use! It really does take so little to coat your hands that it'll last a while! We'll most certainly be repeat customers!" — HSmomma Get it from Amazon for $8.90+ (available in two sizes and also in a pack of two or 12). 22. A bestselling pack of Mighty Patches to tackle pesky pimples head-on. The hydrocolloid absorbs the gunk inside, which helps speed up the healing process. Plus, they help conceal pimples and prevent you from picking at them (so they can actually heal faster)! BTW, these work best on open, draining pustules (rather than blackheads or pimples that haven't come to a head yet). You can read more at Cleveland Clinic! Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of the popular Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, and it's since evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, Mighty Patch nose strips, and more! Promising review: "I first heard of these 'pimple patches' on a makeup site and tried another (more expensive) brand, and became hooked on them. When I found out there's cheaper versions out there? Definitely looked at alternatives, and this Mighty Patch brand is my new favorite — it works just as well at 'drying' out a pimple/whitehead and I feel it 'clings' better than that expensive brand. I put it on clean skin, let it stay for several hours or overnight, and it works great. I'm sticking with this brand." — nekojita Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 23. Plus, a pack of nose pore patches because the grime and excess oil in your nose are begging to be released. Just leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning to see all the goop and gunk it pulled out, plus your clearer, smaller pores. Promising review:"It had to be said. These things are disgusting, that's why you should buy them. Squeeze part of your nose skin. Do a bunch of little pustules come out? Yeah, if you put one of these puppies on at night, you wake up, and that is all trapped inside that weird film. I dunno how it works. It's probably sorcery." — Jack Sawyer Get a seven-pack from Amazon for $9.98. 24. A medicated dog shampoo that could help your poor doggo who's been dealing with dry, flaky, and oily skin. Plus, it can give them a healthier-looking coat! Happy dog = happy you. It's paraben-, dye-, and soap-free! Promising review:"Naturally, because of the ingredients, it has a strong smell. However, it does seem to leave my dog's skin feeling dry and provides good relief for her poor itchy skin. My dog Molly is a 9-pound mini dachshund whose little chest makes contact with the grass all the time so her skin gets itchy and irritated. I've been bathing her regularly with this shampoo and it is giving her some relief. No more greasy, flaky skin. Her skin and fur is now dry and soft." — Climbyourarms Get it from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in three sizes). 25. A cooktop cleaning kit to take you one step closer to having the kitchen you've always dreamed about. Now you can chef it up all day long without having to worry about a messed-up stove! 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 Get it from Amazon for $13.98. 26. Or a gas range cleaning spray that'll make cleaning your stovetop easy-peasy, no-more- grease -y. All you have to do is spray and wipe to make your stove look good as new! Promising review: "This stuff really works on grease! I was skeptical about purchasing this product because nothing seemed to clean my greasy stovetop. A friend recommended that I try this brand and when I saw the chance to get a two-pack, I thought it would be a value. Once I used this for the first time, I am never going back to wiping down my stovetop the same way again." — Kindle Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98. 27. A popular anti-dandruff shampoo to help get rid of those stubborn flakes that refuse to leave your scalp. The antifungal formula helps eliminate the very *source* of dandruff (begone 🤺) so you won't have to deal with the flaking and itching anymore! Promising review:"This stuff is absolutely amazing. I was one step away from going to the dermatologist. I had severe dandruff that was so bad, I could shake my head and it would come off. With just a few uses per week, I got rid of all my flakes. My scalp also stopped burning from dryness. My hair has never been healthier." — Moo Moo Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 28. Base Labs keloid minimizer that helps reduce and heal those pesky lil' (or, in some cases, big) bumps that decided to grow in with your new piercing. Note: This product is not an overnight miracle. Apply this two to three times a day, be patient, and you'll start to see the results. Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" — Jordan Caprigno Get it from Amazon for $12.85+ (also available in multipacks). 29. A deshedding glove so you can groom your fuzzy BFF without them fussing, because they'll probably enjoy it! BuzzFeed Shopping contributor AnaMaria Glavan swears by this thing: " The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: Just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. "We got Rockie when he was 5, and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: This is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.97. 30. First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser, a body scrub for exfoliating dry and rough bumps, especially those caused by keratosis pilaris (aka "strawberry" or "chicken" skin). It also helps decongest pores and remove dead skin. It's vegan, cruelty-free, and safe for all types of skin! Promising review:" I am sorry that I did not discover this years ago! I have ordered two of them by mistake and it's one of my best mistakes. I have the ingrown hair issue on my legs for years now which causes the 'strawberry legs' issue as well. I've been using once in a week for a month now and my legs have never seen a smoother day before! It is incredible. I apply it on my legs and scrub it with my bare hands a little bit, then I continue doing it with the scrubbing side of my sponge for a couple of minutes. I'm scared to stop using it. I don't want to go back to my old legs!" — Eylote Get it from Amazon for $10+ (available in three sizes). 32. A jewelry cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics ~shine bright like a diamond~. Save yourself a trip to the cleaner, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen and brush the solution on. Lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new! Promising review:"This little pen brush is incredible! I wasn't sure if it would work well on my emerald engagement ring, since it's mostly advertised for diamonds, but I thought I'd give it a try. I have been wearing the ring since getting engaged in October, and even though I had it cleaned at the jeweler's in April, it just didn't seem as bright as it was when it was new, and I thought it would just always be a little cloudy. But after cleaning it once with the Dazzle Stik, I was blown away by the difference — it looks as bright and sparkly as when I first got it! I'm so glad I didn't buy an ultrasonic cleaner, since this is so much less expensive and easier and gentler. It took me less than a minute to clean, and I can do it whenever I want! And it's honestly better than when the jeweler cleaned it. So thrilled!" — KFray Get it from Amazon for $9.48. 33. Some arnica bruise cream if you're clumsy by nature (guilty!) and get bruises ALL the time, even in your sleep. This will calm bumps, swelling, and discoloration, so you'll be grateful to have it around the next time you take a trip to the pantry (and inevitably bump into the corner). Promising review:"I am very fair-skinned and bruise easily (it doesn't help that I also tend to be very clumsy). I recently got a very large, dark bruise on my arm, and a friend at work whose son is a stuntman told me I should use arnica on it. Based on the reviews, I ordered this product and started using it approximately four days after I was bruised. At first, it didn't seem like anything was happening, but after three to four days of use, I could see a marked difference just from morning to evening. I have never had a bruise heal that quickly before. I'm sold!" — J. Yount Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 34. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo to thoroughly remove all concealer, foundation, highlighter, or blush from your brushes instead of just running them through water. It washes out makeup fast without using any harsh chemicals — perfect if you have sensitive skin. Use it with a silicone brush-cleaning mat for the ultimate cleanse! This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" — Ryan Brooks Get it from Amazon for $6. 35. A bottle of Bio-Oil that uses natural oils (vitamins A and E, chamomile, lavender, and rosemary) to reduce the appearance of battle scars over time on all skin tones and textures. It's like a magician performing a long-term disappearing act! Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen! Promising review:"I used this for the first time last night on some recent acne scars, and I'm in utter shock. They look like they've been healing for stuff must be made of pixie dust or something. It's way too good to be true. From now on, I will be putting this all over my skin before bed every night! I don't even care if it means washing my sheets more often — SO WORTH IT!" — Julia Richardson Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 36. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes because as much as you want to be a plant parent, your green kiddos are struggling — even though you *swear* you're feeding and watering them enough. I don't know what kind of sorcery was put into these tiny spikes, but what I *do* know is that they can revive the saddest, limpest plants, hence the name ~Miracle-Gro~. Stick these into the soil, and they'll fertilize it for up to two months! Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. Promising review:"I always kill my plants, but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant, and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple of days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial); the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was a great price." — victoria Get a two-pack of 48 spikes from Amazon for $11.49, and get a version for orchids here. 37. An ink remover if your kid (or you) stained your fave shirt that you thought was done for. Just rub this formula into the ruined area and let it sit for up to 12 hours. Then you can just toss it into the washing machine with all your other laundry! Plus, this bad boy also works wonders for blood, wine, grass, and other stains. For permanent marker specifically, reviewers say it does take some time and scrubbing, but they were able to get most if not all of the stain out with persistence! Promising review:"Imagine large blobs of permanent blue Sharpie on a white football uniform. Now imagine that the ink had sat on the garment for over a week before the uniform was washed and dried by a mom completely unaware of the ink blobs. This product took out 95%+ of the ink and was easy to use. Now said kiddo does not look like the only one with a spotted jersey. A+ result." — Baby B's Mom Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three sizes and multipacks). 38. A bottle of Rain-X Original Windshield Treatment because your windshield wipers do absolutely nothing when it starts to torrentially downpour. This'll repel rain, sleet, and snow from your windows so you can actually see while you drive. Stay safe out there! Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging! Promising review:"I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." — Alison J. Gong Get two bottles from Amazon for $9.62. 39. A value-size bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll be your savior if you've noticed your hair thinning. The keratin, rosemary oil, tea tree oil, and — of course — biotin formula helps nourish your scalp so your locks can grow in thicker than ever. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Maple Holistics is a small business that specializes in skincare and haircare made from naturally derived ingredients. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I'm not crazy about the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it in a value size from Amazon for $29.99 (available in three scents and also in smaller sizes). 40. A fabric defuzzer because those darn pills *ugh* refuse to come off of your clothes no matter how many times you go over them with a lint roller. This nifty thing will safely remove all the fuzz, lint, and pills so you can wear your fave sweater out again. Promising review:"TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." — Ruth Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors and two styles: battery-powered or rechargeable). 41. A two-pack of kojic acid dark spot remover soap that helps restore moisture, reduce scars and hyperpigmentation, and leaves your skin glowing. Its hyaluronic acid, shea butter, olive oil, retinol, and turmeric formula can be applied anywhere on your body — including your bikini area! Promising review:"My wife and I recently started using this kojic acid soap, and it has truly worked wonders for our skin. The results have been impressive. Not only has it helped fade dark spots and blemishes, but it has also given our skin a brighter and more even complexion. I've noticed a significant improvement in the texture of my skin as well, and it feels smoother and softer. This soap lathers well and has a pleasant scent for us, making it a joy to use daily. We're delighted with the results and highly recommend this for anyone looking to achieve more radiant skin." — Bathusi Lobaka Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a set of three, four, or five). 42. A foot file to scrub away all the rock-hard calluses your feet have worked up. It's basically like a cheese grater for your dead skin. Promising reviews:"Okay, so I'm still in shock how well this worked and gave me soft beautiful heels again! I've had dry, cracked 'teeth' on my heels since eight years ago from being a server at two restaurants…and I'm like WHY DIDN'T I discover this sooner?! It had gotten so bad that I was embarrassed to wear sandals in public because they just looked so gross. Then one day I realized that I should probably try SOMETHING because they were getting so bad that the 'teeth' would scratch my leg at night when my foot swiped my leg and it hurt haha so I saw this Rikans file for $10 and after some research decided to give it a shot. I honestly think thought it would take at least 10 sessions before I'd see any improvement but NO! This tool just grated my teeth away in ONE session." — benjamin kim Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 43. And Lee Beauty callus remover gel so you can soften the hard skin to easily exfoliate! Why spend big bucks getting a pedicure when you can DIY at home? Just soak your feet in hot water, apply this gel wherever needed, rinse it off after 5–10 minutes, and use a pumice stone or rasp to scrub away. 🧽 Promising review:"This has been a lifesaver. I bought this and a pedicure kit. Had I known how well this would work I would have just purchased this. I had no idea this existed. I have been living in pain for years due to a callus on my foot that comes and goes after a lit of work. This stuff melts the skin away. I am amazed and wish I found it sooner." — Samantha Sims Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 44. AND! A Dermora foot mask that peels off dead skin buildup on the soles of your feet and helps repair cracked heels. Just leave the mask on for about an hour, and within 6–11 days, your ~dogs~ will start to shed. It'll basically turn you into a snake, but in the best way possible. Kinda gross but also really satisfying, right? Promising review: "My feet were definitely in need of some attention. I didn't have high expectations, but was super impressed by the results. It was a weird process as my skin began to peel off over a two week span of time. It was definitely hard to keep from using lotion as it worked its magic because my feet were itchy, but it was worth the discomfort in the end. My feet are baby soft! I will not hesitate to purchase this again when my feet need some love." — Kimi Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five scents). 45. A pack of FryAway Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder for disposing of grease without the fear of burning yourself or clogging your pipes. Just sprinkle and stir the powder into hot oil and watch it coagulate, then safely dump it in the trash. FryAway is a small business that was created to make cleaning easy! Promising review:"Quite impressive. After making some fries, we added a packet to the hot oil and stirred a few times. Maybe 10 minutes later, we checked the pan, and the oil had solidified. Using a wood spoon, we easily removed the solid and put it in the trash. I will always make sure to keep a pack of FryAway in our pantry. Highly recommended." — Ryan O. Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes). 46. A pet hair scraper to help rid your home of hair that your fuzzy friend leaves everywhere. Just run it over any fabric surface to get the most satisfying fur removal ever! Promising review:"My family drove from Wisconsin to Washington with our yellow Lab. I didn't think my van would ever be the same again. I bought this tool and was super skeptical, but I was desperate. THIS TOOL LEFT ME SPEECHLESS!!!! After finishing (it did take a bit of time; the tool is small), my floors and seats of my van look BRAND-NEW!!! I would pay triple the amount I paid for this tool. I've never seen anything like it! We own a pretty heavy duty shop vacuum, and it didn't even scratch the surface. We also tried every type of pet/lint roller we could find, and nothing came close. This tool will blow your mind! After cleaning out our van, I immediately messaged all friends and family with pets (yes, it really is that good!). Don't waste any more time or money on other products. This simple tool will do a better job than you could ever imagine! A MUST-own for any pet owner!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 47. Easy-to-use retainer cleaner tablets if you've sniffed your retainers lately and been like "woof." 😳 Just drop a tablet into a cup of water and let the retainer soak for about 15 minutes to remove all odor-causing bacteria and stains. 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 wished 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. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81 (also available in a 60- or 240- pack). 48. A pumice stone to scrub off the scum that's chilling in your toilet bowl — the stuff that, no matter how hard you scrub with bleach, never comes off. This scouring stick removes mineral deposits, limescale, rust, and other stains in a matter of minutes *without* damaging your porcelain. These pumice stones can also be used to clean other surfaces, like ceramic tile, concrete, and porcelain, around your home! Promising review:"I can't even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed by the toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can't even drink it, so it stains everything it touches. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend it to anyone I know!" — MorganeC. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.56.

If Your Home Screams 'Clean Up On Aisle…Everywhere' It May Be Time To Invest In These 42 Products
1. The Pink Stuff, aka the Swiss Army knife of cleaning products because it can do it all. You can literally scrub your house from top to bottom with this jar of miracle paste and make everything ✨ sparkle ✨ once again. You got dirty grout? Gone. Grease? Good riddance. The caked-on gunk at the bottom of your cast-iron pan that seems impossible to get rid of? Buh-bye!!! Promising reviews:"I always see people using this on TikTok, but the videos don't even do it justice. The Pink Stuff made everything spotless. Counters, stoves, sinks, literally everything. Best cleaning product in the world and I will literally never use any other brand again." — Hailey Peters " 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 fire place 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 CLR wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand new" — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 2. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray to save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray down your shower once a week, wait 8–12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to showers surrounded by scum, grime, oil, and mold, and hello to your shiny new tiles. Promising review:"We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 3. And a mold and mildew remover because all that sludge buildup isn't easy on the eyes. This formula is SO powerful, one reviewer swears it works even better than a power washer — say what!? Promising review:"This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still managed to grow mold and turn brown/black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product and the transformation is huge. First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." — Rochelle Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 4. A two-tier sliding shelf so you can actually see all the products you own, because you've just shoved anything and everything under the sink. The baskets slide right out so you won't have to awkwardly reach allll the way to the back to find what you need. These shelves will def help you make the most out of your storage space and dare I say, maybe even tidy it up a little? Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sectionals' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." — Tess De Pretis Get it from Amazon for $23.60+ (available in four colors and three styles). 5. A pumice stone to scrub off the scum that's chilling in your toilet bowl — the stuff that, no matter how hard you scrub with bleach, never comes off. This scouring stick removes mineral deposits, limescale, rust, and other stains in a matter of minutes *without* damaging your porcelain. These pumice stones can also be used to clean other surfaces, like ceramic tile, concrete, and porcelain, around your home! Promising review:"I can't even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed by the toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can't even drink it, so it stains everything it touches. It took a little bit of elbow grease, but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend it to anyone I know!" — MorganeC. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.10. 6. An overnight tank cleaner because honestly, when's the last time you thought to clean the back of your toilet? I'm guessing it's been a *while* (or never), so you probably don't know what's festering in there. Just toss some of this powder into the tank, and it'll clean it for you. Promising review:"According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo [above] you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." — Nicole Get it from Amazon for $9.13 (also available in a multipack). 7. A retro acrylic beauty organizer if your counter is lined with all your makeup and skincare products to the point where you can't even see the porcelain anymore. This perfect storage solution will also look stunning in your bathroom or on your vanity! Amazon Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "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 $46.54+ (available in five colors and two styles). 8. Or a makeup organizer that is so compact yet fits so many products in the clear drawers, so you'll be able to find your mascara lickety-split. Amazon, This setup can work as a jewelry organizer too! Promising reviews:" My makeup collection is not a mess anymore thanks to this product. All my makeup fits in there amazingly. My Urban Decay Naked palette could fit in it. I have four of them in the bottom drawer...I like that it comes with drawer lining that grips to the makeup so they are not moving around in there as you open and close drawers." — Shorouq "Just perfect for what I needed. A ton of storage space, looks clean, tidy, classy. It was packaged well, everything came in great shape. I spent a lot of time looking at different cosmetic organizers, read many reviews, compared prices and I wasn't disappointed in my purchase one bit. Great value." — deidra Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and 11 colors). 9. A bottle of Star Brite Mold and Mildew Stain Remover — it must have been infused with some magical properties, because it's unbelievable how well it'll clean all your outdoor furniture that's been crusting outside for who knows how long. Promising review:"I don't often write a review of a product. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we'd take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad a before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean." — Christine A. Simonson Get it from Amazon for $10.48+ (available in three sizes). 10. A Baseboard Buddy so you don't have to get down on your hands and knees to get rid of that mold and dust on your floors and baseboards. Plus, it has a 4-foot extendable pole so you can easily clean your ceiling fans and grates without the hard work! The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "At first, I didn't think much about it. Then, I used it. It is incredible. The pole spins in any direction and secures tightly in place. The thick, absorbent cloth can be removed, washed, and put back within seconds. I cleaned my woodwork and ceiling fans without effort. Extremely satisfied." — Donnagnida Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 11. A bottle of Therapy Premium Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish in case you left fingerprints behind from your 2 a.m. snacking, and you need to hide the evidence. It works great on any stainless-steel appliances and will make them ✨ sparkle ✨. Plus, it'll leave a protective barrier to help guard against future smudging so you can continue on with your late-night food scavenger hunt. Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business based in Dover, New Hampshire. My former colleague Brittany Ross says, " I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too." Promising review:"I live in an apartment. The sink is about 35 years old and has become badly stained and scratched from neglect and indifferent care. This has made a noticeable difference. This sink will never look brand new again, but your product removed, I would say, about 80% of the stains, without any extraordinary effort, and put a really polished look on the sink. It is gleaming and actually looks very clean for the first time since I have lived here. — David Brennan Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes). 12. A cable organizer box so you won't even have to look at a heaping mess of cords ever again. You can just hide them in here and just pretend like they don't exist. And grab a sleek cable sleeve (aka a wire cover) while you're at it! Promising reviews:"I've been searching for something to not only hide the cord mess but protect them from my munch monster of a cat. This box in addition to cable straps and cable wrap has solved my cable management like magic! I highly recommend this product." — Lauryn " Seriously where has this been all my life??? Highly recommend. Excellent cord management soulmate (I meant to type solution and it autocorrected to soulmate, however I think that's accurate LOL.) Just get it. Won't regret." — April Olsen Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 13. A good old-fashioned water pressure cleaner — if you've ever been on #CleanTok, there's a good chance you've seen one of those videos and have always wanted to try it out for yourself. It'll leave your outdoor surfaces lookin' brand new, and it's just so darn satisfying to use! Promising review:"I love you, little electric pressure washer! Oh let me count the ways...I honestly can't say enough good things about this little guy. Our deck was in serious need of a wash. I really liked the idea of a small electric pressure washer mainly for the ease of maneuverability but was unsure if it really had the power to get the job done. Oh man, let me tell you this thing is fantastic! Once I got started I couldn't stop. I was washing everything in sight. Deck, fire pit, stepping stones, planters, outside rug...I was unstoppable! I was a filthy mess from the thighs down because of all the muck flying everywhere but I didn't care, I was happy." — Larry Crouch Get it from Amazon for $129.99. 14. A ChomChom pet hair remover with over 146,000 5-star ratings (!!!), and over 5,000 of them call it "the best," a word that shall not be taken lightly. It's like a reusable lint roller (without those annoying sticky papers) and designed to pick pet hair up efficiently — once fur is locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you empty it out! Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed Promising review:" If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." — Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 15. An over-the-door hook rack for your towels that never make it back to the bathroom and inevitably end up on the floor. Just hang your towels, hoodies, and anything else that you don't feel like shoving back in your closet on here. Promising review: "I bought this to add to the inside of a closet door for extra hanging options. My kids were coming in the house and dropping coats and hoodies all over or hanging them on the stair post (UGH) but this was a perfect addition to a narrow closet with shelving to give us some added hanging space. I liked it so much, I bought a second one and now all the hoodies and coats are out of sight!" — Kelly Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 16. A pack of shelf dividers to prevent your towering pile of sweatshirts or jeans from tipping over. It'll also help you organize all your folded clothes into neat stacks, and you'll never have to rifle through a heap of random garments again! Promising review:"These work great! They work so well I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I'm pretty organized with my T-shirts." — Pathfndr Get a pack of two from Amazon for $17.99. 17. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because even though that savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and pretty much everything, it doesn't clean itself. All you have to do is pop in a tablet (with or without dishes) to remove limescale and mineral buildup from the pump and valve, hose, and tub. Pamper your dishwasher and think of it as a thank you for all the hard work it's done for you. Promising review:"I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" — Jenny Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a 12-pack). 18. An over-the-door purse organizer so you can keep your precious bags off the ground and make use of the space behind your door. It'll be able to hold *all* of your bags and rotates 360 degrees so you can find your go-to purse in a jiffy. It has 12 hooks and holds up to 50 lbs. Promising review:"This has been a lifesaver for me! My purses are no longer all over the floor in my closet. They all fit nicely on here. I love this so much. The packaging was nice and everything came in perfect condition. I have about 10 purses on it right now and it's really nice and strong. It fits on my door perfectly but you do have to push on the door a bit in order for it to fully close and open. However, that is not a problem for me at all. It's very easy for me to see all my purses now and my closet is no longer a mess. From other reviews I've seen, I know this can definitely hold a lot of weight and way more bags then I have on it. I love the way it looks!" — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (also available in a two-pack). 19. A Bissell Little Green machine that looks like Mike Wazowski but is no monster; instead, meet your new bestie. This compact cleaner uses warm water and a specialized liquid cleaner to remove all ~oopsies~ from mud, food, pets — you name it. Some reviewers love this product so much, they've declared they can't live without it. Promising review: "Two months ago we got an 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted. That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made clean up of everything so much simpler and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy can isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends and our couch gets that fresh clean smell in an hour." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $99.98. 20. And (also from Bissell) a carpet and floor sweeper giving you all the benefits of a vacuum minus the noise, bulkiness, and need for electricity — that's a win in my book. When you roll this bad boy around, the rotating brush inside picks up dust, dirt, pet hair, and everything else that lives on the floor. Promising review: "My daughter and I live in a carpeted studio apartment. We both have long thick hair. We also have two cats: one with short hair and one with long fine hair. This sweeper is amazing. I had a vacuum cleaner that was new and so awful that it would burn out before I could vacuum half the studio. It was also impractical for our tiny space. This sweeper is a godsend. It picks up ALL of the hair, human, cat, even the fine, thin, soft long cat hair. It's also great at picking up the cat litter. I don't know what type of carpet ours is, but it's definitely not low pile. The only thing it does not pick up are the torn out pieces of carpet from the cat tree on the floor, but that's OK. This has been so much easier than the other vacuum cleaner we had." — J. S. Get it from Amazon for $30.89. 21. A set of space-saving hooks for you fashionistas with waaay too many clothes for your closet to handle. Each hook has five holes to place your hangers in so you can easily condense your wardrobe. You'll no longer have to rifle through a mountain of shirts to find your fave blouse. Promising review: "I am obsessed with these! I have about three dozen hoodies and sweatshirts and was really skeptical as to whether these would actually save space or if they would even support my heavier items, and I was very pleasantly surprised that both things happened! I have almost two feet of extra room in that area of my closet alone due to these hangers. I came back the day I received these and bought more, and have condensed the space used in my closet by almost half at this point. I can't recommend them enough!" — Jessica Schultz Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of 8, 16, or 20 and in two colors). 22. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads to pick up more dust, dirt, and gunk than disposable pads (and save you some moola since you won't have to constantly buy more). You can just toss them into the washing machine after you're done cleaning your floors! 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 100 single-use pads. Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95. 23. Some washing machine cleaning tablets that'll remove grime and odor-causing residue because yes, you should be cleaning the machine that cleans your clothes — oh, the irony. After running a cycle with just a tablet inside, your washing machine will be sparkling clean *and* your laundry won't stink like mildew after your next wash. They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Promising review:"I've been using this product for several years now. I have two teens and a husband who's an auto technician. Boy do they get filthy! After time this grime buildup will make your washer stink bad. I don't do it every month as they say to as I don't have that type of money but when it stinks, this product is the bomb! Makes your washer smell really fresh, like brand new. If it still stinks after one tablet, pop another one in and no more stink!! Yay! I would give this 20 stars if I could. Really love this product so much so that I bought the ones for my dishwasher too!! (they work great too!)" — berja Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98. 24. A stain and odor eliminator because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of saying, "Bad dog!" you'll be shouting, "Amazing stain remover!" Spray and soak any mess your lil' stinker decides to make, and just like that — gone. Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I'm potty training a puppy and it's not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I'm writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I'm buying more the second I'm done with this review. I love it." — lexi Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two scents and also in a gallon size). 25. A set of brush attachments that you can pop onto a drill. A DRILL —what?! Just attach it to the head and let the tool do all the work for you. The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon! Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying! Drill Brush is a small business based in New York that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six different brush stiffnesses). 26. A carpet cleaner capable of removing pretty much anything from fabric surfaces, whether that be your tiny oopsies or your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. 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 three sizes and various packs). 27. A set of stackable clear organizers so you can finally fix the clutter that lives in your drawers and give everything a designated spot — Schmidt would DEF be in love with these. The six-piece set comes with two 3"x3" bins, two 6"x3" bins, and two 9"x3" bins. Promising review:"Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I've got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them so they're not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching." — Sparkyj Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 10- or12-piece set). 29. A record/magazine holder so you can finally organize your books neatly instead of keeping a stack on the ground. It's also great for showing off your one-of-a-kind vinyl and the vintage magazines you've had since middle school. You can also use it to organize your desk files! Promising review:"I didn't want anything too bulky on my nightstand, but I like to have several books I like to read in bed. I previously had them stacked on top of each other and found this and was afraid it might be cheaply made, but it is sturdy and beautiful! I'm such a bookworm, and I am in love with this added piece to my room." — SP Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors). 30. A blind cleaner brush to make cleaning your blinds so much easier. Instead of cleaning each shade one by one, you can take on two at a time! Amazon, It comes with five interchangeable and reusable microfiber sleeves! Promising review:"Where has this tool been all my life? This is a quick, inexpensive way to clean vinyl blinds. The tool is so easy to use that we have added the chore to my 9-year-old son's list. We also use it on our metal indoor heat/air vent. Love that the tool comes with washable replacement dusters." — mastermom Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 31. A touch-free stationary vacuum so you don't have to take the extra time to lug a big ol' machine around your house. Just take a broom and sweep towards the vacuum — the automatic sensors will suction everything into its black hole. The best part? You don't have to wrestle with getting every dust particle onto a dustpan. Promising review:"OMG, this thing works amazing! We have a mastiff, who sheds...a lot. I was sweeping, vacuuming, or dust mopping every day, several times a day. I would have to get the big vacuum out, use the dust mop, then use the vacuum to clean the dust mop, huge pain. Now, I run the dust mop over the floor, run it in front of this beauty, and the hair is gone! So glad my husband found it and bought it for me; it truly saves so much time." — Lesli Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 32. Or a Roomba robot vacuum if your floors are begging to be cleaned, but you don't want to move a muscle. Not to worry — this baby will do it all for you! It can navigate around furniture and even fit under tight spaces so every nook and cranny of your home will be clean by the end of your Netflix session. Plus, you can use the app on your phone to give it a schedule! Amazon, It's compatible with Alexa and runs for up to 120 minutes before automatically returning to its dock to recharge. Promising review:"Amazing product; I run this baby before I mop the floors. It picks up all the little things like dust. Whenever the house is getting a little dirty and I'm feeling lazy, I just hit CLEAN. It's like having a really lazy maid that only vacuums every day but is only a one-time payment." — Frank Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in two styles). 33. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush with an oscillating head that'll clean twice as fast as using a manual scrubber. This small but mighty brush is perfect for cleaning up grout lines and tight spaces — your tiles are about to be so shiny, you might even see your reflection. Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed, Promising review: "This little tool makes scrubbing a breeze! Great for grout, sinks, and tight spaces where regular brushes don't cut it. The powered scrubbing action saves effort and gets the job done faster. A solid tool for deep cleaning." — EverClean Get it from Amazon for $17.38. Check out our full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review. 34. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner so your mama doesn't get angry the next time she comes over and sees a dirty microwave. Just fill it with vinegar and water, heat it up, and wipe down the inside once all the steam runs out (which takes around seven minutes). There's no need for cleaning products or intense scouring when you have this lil' mama! Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review:"This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." — Katy H Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 35. A cooktop cleaning kit to take you one step closer to having the kitchen you've always dreamed about. Now you can chef it up all day long without having to worry about a messed-up stove! 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 Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in two sizes). 36. Or a gas range cleaning spray that'll make cleaning your stovetop easy-peasy, no-more- grease -y. All you have to do is spray and wipe to make your stove look good as new! Promising review: "This stuff really works on grease! I was skeptical about purchasing this product because nothing seemed to clean my greasy stovetop. A friend recommended that I try this brand and when I saw the chance to get a two-pack, I thought it would be a value. Once I used this for the first time, I am never going back to wiping down my stovetop the same way again." — Kindle Customer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98. 37. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop so you don't have to get on your hands and knees when you clean your floors — sorry, Cinderella, this was after your time. The wringer will remove the perfect amount of excess water, and the mop is designed with a microfiber fabric that is so effective all you need is WATER to clean. Amazon / Via Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it's a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it's fun. MAJOR BONUS!" — Molly Get it from Amazon for $34.96. 38. A tea bag organizer that'll have your cabinet looking beau*tea*ful without the clutter of half-empty cardboard boxes and tea bags sprawled everywhere. Promising review:"This holds so much tea! I organized a shelf full of tea boxes into this sleek holder, which takes up a third of the space. It holds any standard size bag and I was able to shove a couple of larger ones in to, although they are crammed in. The side edge is shaped in a way that makes it easy and comfortable to grab and it is very sturdy. I keep it on a high shelf and haven't had any issues pulling it down daily. I keep herbal teas on one side and caffeinated tea on the other. Don't underestimate how nice it is to see all your tea at the same time. No more digging through a dozens boxes to find exactly what you want." — Alexia Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). 39. A set of Shoe Slotz if you own enough shoes to fill London Tipton's shoe submarine but simply don't have the space for them. Just set one shoe on the shelf, top it with a "Shoe Slot," and place the other one on top — BAM, you'll be able to fit twice as many heels, sneakers, and boots! Amazon It works with men's, women's, and kids' shoes — heels and flats! Promising review:"I will spare you the horrific 'before' picture of the complete nightmare that was my closet floor. Just imagine a dusty mess with shoes thrown all over each other in a sad attempt at giving some appearance of order, and you will have a good idea of why buying this shoe organizer was one of the best ideas I've had this year. The floor now looks so neat and tidy I can't believe my eyes every time I open my closet doors." — Veronica, just an average reader, you know? Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in other multipacks). 40. A broom and mop organizer so you can easily access your cleaning supplies when your home is a mess. There are five slots and six hooks so there should be plenty of room for everything! This comes from Berry Ave, a small business that makes organization products. Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $11.71+ (available in four different pack sizes and four colors). 41. A plastic bag holder/dispenser to finally store those grocery store bags if you hoard them in your junk cabinet of shame. This bag holder/dispenser can be mounted on the wall or inside a cabinet with included screws and it can hold up to 18 bags at a time! Promising review:"This is such a great way to keep the plastic bags you accumulate from shopping condensed and organized. Great for recycling those bags and having them convenient and accessible. You can easily mount this to a wall in your kitchen, bathroom, or wherever else in the house you find yourself needing a plastic bag. I would highly suggest getting one." — Pigskull17 Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six colors and two sizes). 42. And set of six over-the-door shelves so you can store accessories, shoes, or anything else that you don't have room for in your closet. No more tripping over random things anymore, yay! Promising review:"I am so happy I found this little gem of a product. I got one for myself and one for a friend who I was helping get organized. The little pockets are great and hold more than you think they will. I love that the front of the pockets is a clear view so you can see everything that is in the pocket. The product is very sturdy and really super easy to put together and hang up on the doors." — MM1986 Get it from Amazon for $15.47+ (available in eight colors and two styles).
