Not To Brag, But This List Of 34 Problem-Solving Products I Have Compiled Is Like…Really Good
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 · From skincare woes, to fashion mishaps, and home problems — these products are here to help you through it all. 1. A pet hair remover that is a MUST for keeping on hand during shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers! ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — Shelby Cipolla Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors). 2. A saline nasal gel if the culmination of post-winter dryness and spring allergens is making you feel like a human version of Rudolph. This little under-$5 solution is here to assist in restoring moisture to your dry, irritated nose so you can feel more like Comet or any of the other non-red-nosed reindeer. Reviewers say this is also helpful if you use CPAP machines or if you fly (it helps deal with dry air on a plane). Promising review:"I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." — Catherine Get it from Amazon for $3.62. 3. A set of acne patches you can apply over a popped whitehead. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it. Promising review:"I am a 40-some-year-old woman who still gets pimples. I tried a wide swath of pimple patches. These are the best. Like the goldilocks of patches — some were very adherent but took off skin to remove, and some fell off very quickly — these are just right. And they work. They reduce the inflammation and keep gunk from getting in. They also keep you from picking at the zit. My teenage daughter also uses them, and they work for her. I have very fair skin, and she is much darker, and they seem to blend nicely with both skin tones." — K. Dahl Read our Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch review! Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a 72-pack). 4. Plus, some overnight nose strips to help clean out popped zits taking up residency near your schnozz. Just slap one on before bed, get your beauty sleep, and wake up to the satisfying proof that it's been hard at work. Who knew evicting whiteheads could be this easy? Amazon Promising review: " It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas…maybe because it's not cheap." — Justina Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. 5. A pair of Nippies — reviewer-loved pasties boasting ample coverage that actually stay in place. A world where you can wear a dress sans bra to a wedding AND partake in the "HOT TO GO!" dance without your nipple covers falling to the ground when Chappell Roan tells you to touch your toes? A true game changer. Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for July 4 underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa Get a set from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in five shades, two versions, and two sizes: one that fits cups A–C and one that fits cups D+). BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties, too! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. 6. A portable digital luggage scale because it's time we put an end to that gut-wrenching moment the airline counter tells you your suitcase is a few pounds over the weight limit. Being forced to transfer your things from your suitcase into your carry-on in the middle of the terminal for everyone to see is dreadful. I simply do not need the entire JetBlue terminal judging me for being so indecisive that I felt the need to pack my entire closet into my suitcase. Promising review:"This scale works and was accurate on four flights. First flight was a test at 46 pounds, and Delta scales said it was 46 pounds. The next two flights were at 49 pounds, and both United and Delta found it to be 49 pounds. The bag on the fourth flight weighed 49, but the United scale found it to be 48 pounds. Four different airports and scales proved that this scale is a good, low-cost, must-have item for air travel." — Robert Get it from Amazon for $7.64+ (available in four colors). 7. A clinical strength deodorant that boasts up to 72 hours of sweat protection from stress, heat, and activity. If you feel like you're constantly having to freshen up your pits throughout the day, this might just be the product for you. Promising review:"I have been trying all kinds of deodorants for months, trying to find one that works! I sweat a lot at work and this stuff works! I don't have to reapply. This doesn't leave any staining on my clothes. The smell is nice and light. Finally found something that works!" — Zindarella Get it from Amazon for $8.35. 8. A Pikk-it tool you can use to not only detangle hair from your brush bristles but ALSO to remove hair that's lodged in your vacuum head. If your last floor vacuuming sesh ended with you feeling puzzled as to why your expensive Hoover refused to suck up Fluffy's hair, it's probably because so much of it is already lodged inside the head. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 9. A pack of snap-on bedding labels if the mess of sheets and pillowcases in your linen closet resembles that of a deflated ghost. Thanks to these babies, you'll be able to easily see and take out the linens you need when you need them. If you've ever had to go on a scavenger hunt for bedding for your houseguests that ended with them just falling asleep before you could find what you needed, well, that was a sign that you seriously need these. Snap On Bedding Label / Etsy Snap On Bedding Label is a small business based in Vancouver, Canada. It's owned and run by Sunny Williams, a working mom who came up with the genius idea for bedding labels you simply snap onto bedding (no sewing required and no damage to linens and duvets). Promising review:"These little snap tags have helped me organize my linen closet in a way I never thought possible! We have white sheets for every size bed in our home, and now I can tell the twins from the doubles and the queens from the kings! A tight snap that allows the sheets to go into the washer still tagged — genius!" — Janine Molinaro Get a four-pack from Snap On Bedding Label on Etsy for $11.44 (available in sizes Twin–King). 10. A WD-40 precision pen that might just become your new favorite tool in your home solutions arsenal. This thing helps tackle rusty bolts and squeaky hinges and protects against corrosion in the easiest way possible. 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 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 11. An ingrown hair oil whose combo of jojoba, grapeseed, and tea tree oils may help soften the skin and reduce the appearance of post-shaving and waxing bumps, ingrown hairs, and redness. Amazon Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas. Promising review:"I have literally tried everything to prevent razor burn for the past 10+ years, and nothing worked. I tried products, pre-shave routines, post-shave routines, every kind of razor/shaving cream combination you can think of, etc., and despite all my efforts, money, and time, I still always had razor burn. T hat all changed last week when I tried Bushbalm for the first time. I cannot believe how well this stuff works. I never write reviews, like this is literally the first one I've ever written, but seriously if you struggle with bikini line irritation after shaving, buy this stuff for real. I'm so happy I finally found something that works and hope this review helps someone else avoid an expensive and painful 10-year battle to find a solution to their razor burn problems!" — Katie Get it from Amazon for $26. 12. A set of heel protectors — a must-have with warmer weather upon us, aka the start of outdoor events like weddings, graduations, and parties galore. No matter the occasion, you're gonna want these babies so you can rock your favorite heels without worry of them sinking into grass or breaking on rough surfaces. Amazon Promising review:"After slightly sinking into the ground at my own wedding, I decided that I absolutely needed these for every summer wedding thereafter! They were a hit — everyone thought they were genius. My heels were spared from sinking into grass as well as dirt and gravel! LOVE THEM! I need them in every size!" — Alexis Get them from Amazon for $11.99 (available in four sizes). Check out my colleague's full Stoppers Heel Protectors review. 13. A migraine stick to help potentially stop painful migraines in their tracks. As a migraine sufferer myself, I know how difficult it is to accomplish anything when a migraine hits, and there just aren't enough hours in the day to waste on nursing yourself back to a fully functioning human when you get one. Read more about aromatherapy and stress and tension at Johns Hopkins. Promising review:"After reading an article on BuzzFeed that touted this product, I bought one for my boyfriend, who suffers from awful, frequent headaches. It WORKS. Not only does he swear by it, he has purchased them for his mom and several friends. FANTASTIC." — SassySarah Read my coworker's Migrastil Migraine Stick review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $12.95. 14. Or a super smart cold gel therapy cap you'll wanna have on hand for your next migraine or headache or just to relieve some oncoming tension. You can freeze it and use it cold or place it in the microwave (just make sure it's at room temp first) and use it hot. Read more about how temperature therapy can help — including how applying heat during the start of a migraine can help relax tense muscles, while cold compresses can have a numbing effect, which may dull pain — at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "I have suffered from migraines my entire life, and I'm almost 50 years old. As soon as I put this pack on my head, I instantly felt relief from the five-day barometric pressure migraine I'd had. The soft design was really nice, and I love that it covered my whole head and was easy to put on. I recommend waiting a few minutes after taking it out of the freezer because it was really cold." — T. Get it from Amazon for $29.96 (available in six styles). 15. A light bulb gripper/changer to not only make it possible but SIMPLE to change the bulbs in those rooms of your house with ridiculously high ceilings. You know those bulbs that have been dead for months now because you don't want to hassle with a ladder to climb up and change them? Yup, those. This is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing. Promising review: "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder, but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole, and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light, 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It's a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it'll work just fine. So all-in-all, I'm quite happy with this, and it'll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." — Patrick Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available in three styles and with the pole). 16. An oil solidifier powder that works like this: Simply sprinkle it over hot oil (do it dramatically like you're a fairy godmother and it's magic dust), let it solidify, and then safely get rid of the now hardened leftover oil in the pot/pan. If you love frying food (it's delicious, who doesn't?!), but hate the process of disposing oil, then you need to get this immediately. A world of homemade chicken tenders and fries awaits!!! Plus!!!! This product is made from 100% plant-derived fats, so you'll feel good about it! FryAway is a woman-owned small biz that makes this super smart cooking oil solidifier! The brand also made a deal with Lori and Mark on Shark Tank! 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. 17. A butt acne-clearing lotion because, yes, acne on the derriere *is* a thing, and if you're reading this thinking you were alone in this struggle, we're here to remind you, you're not. Enter this product, made with pure plant extracts like Australian tea oil, to help target the root of this annoyance on your booty and help kick it in the ~behind~. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"This product is gentle on the skin but strong enough to combat any buttock issues caused by stress, environmental issues, or whatever. Living in the Deep South, we sometimes have a condition called 'swamp butt.' Little red bumps, like a rash or breakout, can form in sensitive areas. Using this product once a day after showering, I've had ZERO bumps in over three months. It works. Doesn't smell the greatest, but it's tolerable, for sure. Great product." — Billie B Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 18. A set of breathable cotton underwear if hotter temps outside tend to lead to more ~issues~ down there (looking @ you, yeast infections). Now, this underwear won't necessarily prevent infections from happening, but the cotton material absorbs moisture, which, in turn, can help reduce the risk! Promising review: "These undies are sooo super comfortable!! I purchased them to wear for work, and I can't believe how well they stay put. No wedgies, no shifting, smooth and comfortable. Even when I get very sweaty and am on my feet all day, the underwear holds up." — Mikey Hudachko Get a five-pack from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–5XL and 10 color combinations). BuzzFeed writer Emma Lord calls these undies "wedgie-proof." To learn more, check out her UMMISS underwear review. 19. A FlexiSnake for unclogging your hair-filled drain. Simply ~snake~ this tool down there, let it grab the hair, pull it back up, and then decide whether you should marvel at its abilities or gag. Not to mention, it's a heck of a lot cheaper (and TBH, way less embarrassing) than calling a plumber. This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes. Promising review:"Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. The plumber even said I needed an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and a shower that all match, so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing, stuffed it down, and pulled up hair and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, and went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $20 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." — juliejules Get a five-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 20. A genius sandwich bread dispenser reviewers say helps keep loaves of sandwich bread fresher longer (think: weeks) because it's time we finally put an end to that annoying moment of discovering green spots a few days after grocery shopping and having to throw away half the loaf. Buddeez is a family-owned small biz based in Missouri that sells home goods! Promising review:"The Buddeez Sandwich Bread Dispenser is great! It does exactly what it was intended for. I live alone and I don't quite go through bread often enough before the last quarter section of the loaf starts to go stale. I was originally looking for something to put a loaf of bread in as a shell for my vacuum sealer that would keep the bread from getting crushed by the pressure. This dispenser solved all of my problems. Thank you!" — DRMcQuaig Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of two). 21. A pack of mess-free toothpaste caps if you've reached the point in your life where opening a new tube of toothpaste involves making a mini promise to yourself that it won't end in a dried-up toothpaste mess, only to break that promise several weeks It can't just be me. 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+ (available in seven color combos and larger quantities). 22. A shoe deodorizer spray, because unless your feet smell like roses all day and night, chances are, over time, you have probably noticed your shoes tend to smell less than pleasant. Luckily, this spray is formulated with lemon and eucalyptus essential oils to help freshen up your footwear. You're welcome! Promising review:"This product WORKS! You won't be disappointed. I used to get embarrassed taking off my flats in my office because they smelled so bad, but not anymore! My work flats make my feet sweaty, and this spray helps keep the awful odors away for at least four to five days (probably longer, but I was so excited I just sprayed my shoes again because I liked the smell, haha!) The lemon is strong, and I love the eucalyptus, so I would purchase it again! Although it will likely last a while! I have a little boy who gets sweaty feet also, so I'm sure I'll soon be using this in his shoes, too." — Traeannah Brown Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in three scents). 23. A Guac-Lock — a brilliant container to store leftover guacamole. We've all been there — you buy or make a delicious batch of that creamy green goodness, and *gasp* you don't finish it all in one sitting. Now you're left to decide if you should stuff yourself silly so you don't waste it or accept your fate of eating brown avocado sludge over the next few days. The good news is you don't have to do either of those things, thanks to this genius invention. Promising review:"Rarely do I buy something that delivers 100% of what they claim it will. I'm happy to report that this completely lived up to my expectations. Truth be told, it works even better than I expected it to. I made a batch of guac a week ago. Two or three times during the week, I unlocked it, dipped a chip or two, and then re-locked it. After a week, the guacamole is as fresh as if I made it this morning. I typically make a batch of guac each week and use it as a snack or as a spread on sandwiches. I also typically throw out one-third of the batch because it spoils before we can eat it. Not anymore. I estimate the food I'm not wasting will actually pay for the Guac-Lock in about a month." — mhogan Get it on Amazon for $29.99. 24. A mold and mildew removal gel that is seriously so easy to use, you'll wonder why you put off cleaning away those eyesore stains in your shower for so long!!! All you have to do is squeeze this over the spots you're looking to fix up, let it sit overnight, and allow it to work its magic! Pretty sure this is concocted with fairy pixie dust. Promising review:"For a couple of months, I had been battling a mold spot on my bathroom sink caulk. I had tried various things to get rid of it, but had no luck. I read about this whitener and thought I would try it, and I'm glad I did. It was easy to use as the tip allows for precise application. The gel is thick, so there is no need to reapply. I applied it and then waited for a few hours. That mold spot was gone and has not reappeared. I would highly recommend this stuff." — Wendy N Check out our Skylarlife mold and mildew removal gel review. Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 25. A stainless-steel odor-absorbing soap bar because garlic, onion, and fish may taste delicious in your meal, but their smell is pretty yucky, ESPECIALLY when it lingers on your hands hours after cooking. Amazon, Promising review:"Works wonders. I was very impressed. Tried using it after cutting meats, fish, and onions, and it really works well. No smelly hands at all. If you're in the kitchen a lot, get yourself one. You won't regret it." — Sweety mum Get it from Amazon for $9.59. 26. A faucet extender that'll come in handy if your current faucet is so old it barely extends to a normal length, OR if you live with kiddos who need easier access to the water when it's time to wash their hands and brush their teeth. Promising review:"Before I knew a thing like this existed, I spent the time it took to wash my squirming kiddo's hands one at a time, wondering how long it was going to take for his arms to grow enough to reach the faucet. I'm so glad I have this thing now! The setup is just taking it out of the box and stretching the rubber part around the faucet; it took two seconds plus some time to adjust to the best angle. Now, I can wash my 15-month-old's hands at the same time, and the whole process is much faster and easier. He liked it right away, too!" — Michelle G Get two from Amazon for $10.95. 27. A pack of refrigerator door handles perfect for anyone who's tired of sticky post-eating fingers (or just fingerprints in general) leaving behind marks galore on their stainless-steel fridge/freezer doors. Raise your hand if you're also a childless adult who accidentally created a sticky mess on the fridge doors in search of the milk carton after eating a PB&J! 🙋♀️ Psst — these use Velcro for a perfect fit on every handle! Promising review:"Keeps my handles clean! What a game changer! These are the softest covers. Love how they just blend in with my stainless-steel fridge. If you own a stainless-steel fridge, 'stainless' is not true with the handles. These covers will change your life!!!!" — Debby from Warren Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99 (available in eight sizes and multipacks). 28. A set of pins to put an end to the midnight duvet shuffle — no more waking up with all the fluff bunched at your feet. These handy clips keep your comforter perfectly in place, so you stay cozy all night long. No more twisting, tangling, or fighting with your bedding — just uninterrupted, snuggly sleep. Amazon Pinion Pins is a small biz that sells home improvement products! Promising review:"We just bought a king-sized duvet insert and several covers, but the cover never stays in one place. These pins are a game-changer. I stick one end through the fabric and duvet, simply attach the other side of the pin (it basically attaches itself), and I repeated that at about 40 centimeter intervals, and those pins are solid and don't bother us at all when we sleep. I would most definitely buy these again and recommend them highly." — M rol Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95. 29. A three-step cradle cap system that is so easy to use, you'll find yourself a pro at treating your little one's cradle cap in no time at all. First, use the sponge to lather bb's head with soap, cradle cap shampoo, or oil; second, massage circular motions on their head with the brush to loosen flakes; third, use the comb to lift the flakes away. Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children's and the American Academy of Dermatology. The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand. Promising review:" A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." — LM01 Get it from Amazon for $13.89. 30. Compound W One Step Pads for applying to plantar warts — they just look like bandages, but really they're working hard to remove those stubborn little guys. Just stick one on and go about your day while the salicylic acid gets to work behind the scenes — it's like a tiny undercover agent for your feet. How's that for low-effort wart removal? 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 Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.19. 31. A chemical-free indoor fly trap because having little bug friends who love you so much they want to be your roommate is nice in yucky and annoying in reality. If you're tired of trying to swat away at those lil' guys (which never works, let's be real), this thing is here to help save the day. This indoor trap offers 400 square feet of protection. Promising review: "My apartment complex has had an outburst of flies and gnats lately. Bought this, and it changed my life. No more fly swatter, no more looking around endlessly, trying to find those pesky flies. No more trying to be a fly samurai. This thing works, and it works GREAT! I have bought two more since then and additional glue pads. I am a forever customer." — Jose Fernandez Get it from Amazon for $14.19. 32. A pack of ceiling fan filters that'll capture dust, pollen, pet dander, and more airborne irritants just by turning on your ceiling fan. It's like having an air purifier without having to spend the money (or make space) for an air purifier. Plus, all you have to do is just stick 'em on your fan. 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 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79. 33. A garbage disposal brush to help break up stubborn food debris living rent-free in your disposal. For all the time it spends stuck in the depths of your sink, causing a nasty stench, it could at least contribute to rent. In the wise words of Stephanie Tanner: "HOW RUDE!" Promising review: "Do you ever remove the rubber cap between your sink and disposal? It is beyond gross! This is shaped just right and makes quick work of a yucky job. Good to do to keep odors away." — Mom328LSA Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 34. A thaw claw that'll help thaw frozen meat up to seven times quicker (depending on which meat you're thawing, some reviewers say it only takes minutes). If only this product had been around when I was in high school, when my mom would ask me to take the chicken out of the freezer when I got home (which I almost always forgot to do until she got home from work, oops). Amazon Thaw Claw is a small biz! Promising review:"A package of frozen meat would have taken at least two days to thaw in the fridge. I used this for a 2-pound package a couple of days ago, and the meat was thawed within 90 minutes. One of the most practical kitchen gadgets I own." — Llda Schellhase Get it from Amazon for $10.95.

27 Products If Future You Wants To Spend Less Time Cleaning And More Time Living Their Life
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. Start making a list of all the things you wanna do with your newfound free time. 1. A pack of duster sponges designed to trap dust instead of sending it flying everywhere like other cleaning methods. Now you can spend less time chasing down dust bunnies, and more time relaxing in your sparkling clean home! BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has this to say about them: "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 four-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and packs of two, four, and eight). 2. A reusable pet hair remover for anyone who can never seem to get all of their pet's fur off of their clothes and furniture. Just roll it over your fuzz-covered item of choice, and watch it lift the fur RIGHT OFF. Then simply dump out and reuse — no more annoying sticky papers like other lint rollers! Promising reviews:" 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 " Works great and is very easy and quick to use! We use it mainly on the couch. We have a white dog who is almost 100 pounds. Leaves his hair everywhere. This gadget makes it easy to clean up." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 3. A self-charging Lefant robo vacuum that scoots around and does the work all on its own so you can do other things like take a nap, go for a walk, cook dinner, or catch up on your favorite show. 4. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner making it easy to keep your tub and shower nice and shiny. All you have to do is spray, let it sit, and rinse — it'll clean and prevent scummy buildup all on its own. No scrubbing or wiping required, hooray! Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray, and really coated the shower walls and floor pan, and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks). 5. A pooper scooper because it's faster and easier than bending over to grab every single one of your precious pup's poops. Promising review:"We love to spend time outside but loathe cleaning up after our dogs. We've tried many things over the years but this has been the best. It's so quick and easy to clean up after them. I don't have to bend down anymore either (we used to use individual dog waste bags). Wish I would have found this years ago!" — sleak88 Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 6. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll bubble and fizz through the odor-causing grime all on its own while you just stand back and wish you'd gotten it sooner. All you have to do is run a strong stream of hot water into the sink for a minute, reduce the water to a trickle, insert one of the packets into the disposer, turn on the disposer, and let it do the rest! Then simply rinse the sink, and you're done! Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica House Get a four-pack from Amazon for $7.60. 7. A beard trimmings catcher so you can stop dreading the cleanup that inevitably comes with shaving your face over the sink. Tired of thousands of tiny hairs scattered all over the counter every time you wanna give yourself a trim? This bib suctions to the mirror, so all you have to do is wear the other end around your neck to catch all of the mess! Promising review:"My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use it, but once I got my hands on it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere from two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine, but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create!" — Timur Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors/styles). 8. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner — it'll loosen those splatters and stains so all you have to do is wipe them clean. Just add water and vinegar, and place this gadget in the microwave for five to eight minutes on high heat. Afterward, wipe off with a sponge, rag or napkin, and all the grime will come right off! Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 9. A set of three drill brush attachments capable of making your surfaces look brand-new — without any scrubbing on your part! Just attach the brush head to your drill, turn it on, and watch all of that grime disappear so fast and easily, you'll think it's magic. Need a drill? Here's one! And check out our Drill Brush attachment review for more on just how well it works. 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:"Makes cleaning dirty kitchen floor grout so simple and fast! I had been struggling on my hands and knees with a toothbrush and liquid cleaner for years to get my kitchen tile grout clean. Eventually I just 'let it go,' and it got very dark. Amazingly, with a spray of liquid cleaner and a few minutes wait, the Drill Brush and my husband's drill did the job in record time. I would recommend the Drill Brush set to anyone who doesn't enjoy cleaning grout the old fashioned way." — Emir D Hayric Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and six bristle stiffnesses). 10. A silicone, extendable " Broombi" that acts as an all-surface broom, squeegee, and pet hair remover, allowing you to take on everything from glass, fine dust, hair, and liquids with ease! This lightweight cleaning tool works quickly and effectively on smooth floors, rugs, windows, tight corners, wide areas, and hard-to-reach places like under beds and sofas, making it your new cleaning BFF! Broombi is a small business that specializes in household cleaning and pet hair-removing products. Promising review:"Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable and stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 11. A Levoit air purifier with a HEPA filter, because it'll collect an impressive amount of dust, pollen, and pet dander that otherwise would've ended up coating your surfaces for *you* to clean. Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version and a version for people with pets). You can also get a mini size for up to 337 sq ft. for $49.99+ (available in black and white). 12. A window cleaning robot so wiping down the windows can stop being your job. Reviewers also use it to clean their shower walls, mirrors, and even their floors if you're really trying to knock out a bunch of tasks with one device! Promising review:"I recently purchased this and it has truly exceeded all my expectations. Our apartment has windows that have been a persistent challenge since we moved in two years ago. Despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to clean them effectively. The robot has been a game-changer. It was incredibly easy to set up right out of the box. I simply attached it to the window, added a bit of water, and let it do its work. The results were nothing short of spectacular. "What stands out is the thoroughness of the cleaning. It managed to reach most of the surface area effortlessly — something we struggled with when sticking our hand outside the window. The robot's ability to handle such a large surface with minimal intervention is remarkable. It has saved us a significant amount of time and made window maintenance a breeze. The design is sleek, and it operates quietly, which is a nice bonus. I'm genuinely thrilled with the results and would highly recommend this window cleaning robot to anyone." — Hei C. Get it from Amazon for $399.99 (available in two styles). 13. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets to make your gunky, stained tumbler look and smell brand-new, no scrubbing necessary! Bottle Bright is a US-based small business established in 2009 that specializes in cleaning products. Promising review:"I keep two stainless-steel mugs at work, and they rotate between tea, water, and occasionally coffee. I'm good about washing them, but they had still developed a thin, tea-colored patina. I didn't think there'd be much of a difference after using these tablets (I really bought them for a coworker whose mug is thick with stains), but WOW! Ten minutes with simmering-hot water made my mugs look brand-new. I didn't realize how stained the mugs actually were." — Library Chick Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8 (also available in multipacks). 14. A garbage disposal brush because no one wants to stick their fingers into whatever rotting leftovers are clogging up the kitchen sink and smelling up the place. Now you can get the job done quickly, easily, and most importantly...*from a distance*. Promising review:"An item which is now an indispensable tool in my kitchen. Didn't know I needed one until I received this and tried it out! Well-made product which is easy to use and is very effective at getting out all the gunk in the disposal you didn't realize was there. Makes really cleaning the disposal quick work. Highly recommend!" — Sallie R. Get it from Amazon for $9.22. 15. A self-cleaning litter box so when your cat does it's won't have to be involved. This litter box does the dirty work for you and effectively neutralizes odors. You won't have to scoop, clean, or refill it for weeks! The hands-free cleaning cycle runs 20 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, moving their waste to a leak-proof, odor-controlled, and disposable tray underneath. Also grab a bag of scoop-free crystal litter and tray refills, too. Promising reviews:"This litter box is a must for any busy family that struggles to keep up with the daily maintenance of having a cat and a litter box! It works well, and my cat is so happy always having a clean litter box." — Kelsey Decker "I rarely write product reviews but this litter box actually made a huge difference for my house! I have had a cat for about 10 years who decides to do the number 2 about two feet outside the litter box. He has ALWAYS done this, no matter what type of litter or box. I even asked my vet about it, and his response was, "Some cats are just jerks"😂. Then I got this litter box. For the first time EVER, he does ALL of his business in the box! And there is no odor at all!! I love it so much I have two. Would highly recommend!!" — Emily Stokes Get it from Amazon for $159.95+ (available in three styles). 16. A drain clog remover that makes it super easy to clear your sink, tub, or shower drain in mere seconds! No plumbing skills required whatsoever. Promising review:"When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh so rewarding job." — Chocolate and Chips Get a five-pack from Amazon for $7.19+ (available in two colors and packs of three and 12). 17. Some Bissell Stomp & Go Cleaning Pads — simply stomp on them to release a powerful cleaning formula capable of quickly banishing tough, set-in stains from pet messes, wine, mud, coffee, blood, and more so you can keep your carpets looking new without a spending a bunch of time scrubbing. Promising review:"These things saved me from replacing my entire upstairs carpet! We had already replaced one section before finding these and were worried we'd have to replace another section at a cost of $3,000. Stomp and leave it for 24 hours and I was amazed to see my carpet was its original light cream color. I now stock a box of these and have told every one of my pet-owning friends about them. I'll never spend hours scrubbing the floor or carpet shampooing again!" — findingk8 Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $27.48. 18. A set of reusable mop pads made with extra-thick microfiber, making them even more absorbent than the disposable ones so you can get the job done faster! Plus, these are great for anyone who's sick of repeatedly wasting money on single-use, disposable pads. 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 reviews:"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 "Quick cleaning with warm water. No need to buy expensive disposable pads. These work well. Bargain priced but solid product." — G. Speck Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95. 19. A nonstick, food-safe baking mat because cooking in the oven is a lot quicker and easier if you can avoid spending time scraping a baking pan clean after. Promising review:"I use these mats several times a day. They make cleanup super easy, which is really important in my hectic life. They wipe off easily with just water." — Tasia Lung Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two styles and larger packs). 20. A powerful, but gentle silicone paw cleaner — just add water, insert filthy paws, give 'em a little twist, and dab till dry! It's much faster than other methods — and there's no scrubbing for you, no pain for your doggo, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, and other grime getting tracked around your otherwise spotless home for you to clean up. No scrubbing, no pain, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, *POOP*, and other grime getting tracked around your home for you to clean up. Promising review:" I've been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs' paws so easily. When it's super dirty and the streets are covered in salt, I'll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great. I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10–15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn't end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs-up!" — Sandra Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and eight colors). 21. A cleaning ball that'll roll around the inside of your purse and pick up the miscellaneous crud lingering around. Now you won't have to spend time digging through the depths of your bag collection to clean them out yourself! Simply rinse the ball off to clean it and reuse! Promising review:"I was skeptical when I saw this recommended but I decided to give it a try. It works well and makes it easy to do a quick clean of my bag. Once you figure out how to open it (give the plastic ball a little squeeze and it pops open like a plastic Easter egg), then it is easy to clean. It's still working well after several washes." — jsl Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors and multipacks). 22. A toilet wand cleaning system with a disposable head (and six refills) preloaded with Clorox so cleaning is a breeze. Just swish, swirl, and scrub as needed with the hexagon-shaped sponge head designed to hit those tough-to-reach places, then pop it off and toss it when you're done! Your toilet will be sparkling and smelling fresh in record time. Includes a wand, storage caddy, and six disinfecting wand head refills. 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 semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before and after pic attached." — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $20.86. 23. Or a pack of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamps that'll hang out on the inside of your bowl and give it a lil' clean with every you don't have to get in there and do the cleaning yourself! Scrubbing Bubbles Promising review:"It was easy to use, and it has kept my toilet smelling fresh. And keeps the bathroom smelling better as well (no stale/hard water smell) It also has kept the bowl cleaner with no effort." — Shanna Get the dispenser and six stamps from Amazon for $4.48 (also available in two-packs). 24. A splatter guard — now you won't have to spend time giving your entire stove a deep clean every time you fry up some dinner. Plus, it'll help protect you from sizzling oil splashes that would just love to hop on out of the pan and land on your bare skin. Amazon Frywall is a New York-based small business that specializes in protective kitchen accessories. Promising review:"I was frying chicken with lard, and I put too much in the frying pan. A few minutes after putting the chicken in, the lard began to bubble up, and if I hadn't had the Frywall in place, it would have spilled all over my stove. The Frywall creates a seal around my frying pan, stopping spillovers. Splatters don't escape, it's easy to work around it (turning my chicken over), and when I'm done, I just throw it in the dishwasher. If you do any frying at all, you want the Frywall. Helpful." — Carl G Brown Get it from Amazon for $23.95 (available in four colors). 25. A pet urine stain removing spray perfect for pet owners who are desperate to remove spots and smells both old and new. Simply spray and let the enzymes gobble up all the gross stuff you don't feel like spending forever scrubbing away at. Then just blot and let air dry, and you can cross it off your to-do list! Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review:"Y'all! This stuff is AMAZING! I sprayed the carpet thoroughly to where it was pretty saturated and let it sit overnight. Let me just say I was EXTREMELY impressed. The carpet was brighter, smelled fresher and it wasn't stiff how other carpet cleaners tend to leave your carpet! The thing I was most impressed by though was that the dark spots on our carpet were completely gone and this was without having to do any scrubbing! I literally sprayed the carpet the night before and I woke up to a cleaner, like-new carpet the next morning! I'm extremely extremely impressed and will be ordering the gallon size to do the entire carpet." — Ieshia M. Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and sizes). 26. Or a lovely smelling and powerful odor-eliminating spray — if you've spent forever scrubbing away at pet messes, but *still* can't seem to get rid of the odor, simply spray this stuff for a fast and low-effort solution! And when it's done drying, it'll leave behind the scent of fresh-squeezed oranges instead of irritating chemicals. While reviewers love the way this stuff deals with gross smells, they warn not to spray it directly on pets as some may find it irritating. Promising review:"LOVE this stuff! Great smell, and stains come right out! New puppy went frequently in one room. That room stunk even after using almost a whole bottle of a different cleaner! I sprayed one time with this, and all the smell was gone! In the pics, the before is of a puppy accident after cleanup with paper towels, and the after picture shows how it looked after using Angry Orange." — Jamie L Stewart Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks). 27. And finally, a set of oven liners here to make the concept of ~cleaning the oven~ a thing of the past. (Your back will thank you.) And when the liners need to be cleaned, simply put them in the dishwasher or rinse by hand! Amazon Promising review:"I got tired of cleaning the bottom of my oven out after every drip and spill, or running the 'oven clean' option, which uses up so much energy and makes my house HOT during the process. I used to have foil on the bottom of the oven to help with spills, and that improved things greatly — but then you have to replace the foil after a while. "I had to cut them to size, which was easy to do with a simple pair of household scissors. Then I placed them in the oven (they look nice!), and I waited for it to get messy. I cooked something super messy and finally needed to clean the liner. It was SO easy; I put it in the sink and used my sink sprayer and everything immediately slid right off the liner. No problem! I have a double oven, so I was glad this pack came with more than one. I have one in each oven and one on standby in case I need it. I know that having a dirty oven isn't the worst thing in the world, but if it matters to you, try these!" — Hpg

38 Spring Products You Won't Just *Normal* Like, You'll Realllly Like
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 · Heck, you may not even realllly like may them. 1. A handy-dandy Grampa's Weeder so you can easily pluck up those unsightly plants from your lawn without bending, pulling, or kneeling —because yard work shouldn't feel like a full-body workout. Just step, twist, and goodbye, weeds! Your back and knees will thank you. Amazon Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier! Promising review:" I saw this tool used on TikTok, so we decided to try it out. It works really well — it is not difficult to get to the root of the weed and is fairly simple to use, as well. We would recommend this tool to anyone who finds it difficult to do the crouching required to pull weeds." — Mary Get it from Amazon for $36.97. 2. A pet hair remover that is a MUST for shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers! ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" — shelby cipolla Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 3. And to try and get ahead of some of that shedding, a slicker brush — not only does it do an excellent job of detangling fur and grabbing dirt, debris, and more, but is also ridiculously easy to clean afterward. Lots of reviewers' pets love being brushed with it, too! Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of. At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet "I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc. for my cats. This is, hands down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They look so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens; they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button and all the hair falls off." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $12.74. 4. An Oxo salad spinner and peeler set to help you put your springtime farmers market hauls to good use. The peeler is great for those delicious cucumbers and carrots (pair with ranch dressing for the ultimate snack plate), while the spinner makes quick work of rinsing fresh greens and berries. (Am I sensing a spinach + berry salad with balsamic dressing for dinner?!) Promising review: "I absolutely love my glass salad spinner! It has completely transformed the way I prepare salads. The sturdy glass bowl is not only functional but also doubles as a serving dish, making it incredibly versatile. The spinning mechanism is smooth and efficient, removing excess water from greens in seconds. My salads stay fresher and crisper for much longer now. Plus, the glass material feels premium and is much more durable and eco-friendly compared to plastic options. Cleaning is a breeze — the parts come apart easily and are dishwasher-safe. It's also stylish enough to leave out on the counter, which is a bonus. If you're serious about fresh, delicious salads, this spinner is a must-have. It's worth every penny and has become an essential part of my kitchen routine. Highly recommend!" — A. Thornton Get it from Amazon for $36.90. 5. An electric mosquito repellent because bug bite szn seems to go from 0 to 100 REAL QUICK every year. This handy gadget creates a 15-foot zone of mosquito protection, so get ahead of the curve this year and let those little bloodsuckers know they are NOT welcome to your outdoor hangs. Promising review:"I bought this because I was looking for an effective insect repellant for my patio this spring/summer. I didn't want a bulky candle or tiki torch that smelled like canola oil. I found the Thermacell. It looked modern and promising. We tried it, and it works really well. It also produces no smell or sound. We live in the South, where mosquitoes are really awful, and the Thermacell made sitting on our patio tolerable! Definitely recommend." — Trusted Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in 10 colors and packs of two). 6. Or a bug zapper that provides 1 acre of coverage and not just from mosquitos, but from other types of bugs as well such as flies, gnats, moths, and beetles! Nothing ruins the outdoor barbecue vibes quite like some pesky insects showing up uninvited. Promising review: "It zapped all kinds of bugs, which made it so much easier to play around the pool and the yard in the evenings, especially when friends and family were over. I highly recommend it." — Donna Get it from Amazon for $69.99. 7. A saline nasal gel to restore moisture to your dry, irritated nose. Between recovery from winter dryness and spring allergens in the air, this little under-$5 solution may just help you out. Reviewers say this is also helpful if you use CPAP machines or if you fly (it helps deal with dry air on a plane). Promising review:"I don't like to talk about it, but every year, my nose becomes super dry to the point where I sometimes get a bloody nose. I usually use some squeeze saline, but it got so bad this year that I decided to get this gel. A dab on a finger or a swab and my nose is hydrated, moistened, and not dry as a desert. No winter bloody noses! It is very light, is not slimy or like Vaseline, and it does not have any smell." — Catherine Get it from Amazon for $3.62. 8. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction, so your spring cleaning endeavors will feel effortless.
