Fix Your Home's Neglected Problems With These 33 Items
A stick of Erase-A-Hole putty that'll make your walls look brand new. It'll make those dents, nail holes, and toddler-related "oopsies" disappear faster than you can say "security deposit." Plus, it's under $15, doesn't need tools, and might trick people into thinking you hired a professional. A pack of transparent window fly traps because the flies are not paying rent, and it's time to evict them. These ultra-sticky, non-toxic decals blend right into your windows while luring in everything from house flies to gnats. Peel, stick, and enjoy your bug-free home without a single zap or swat. Some folks have found that these leave a sticky residue on the glass once removed. If that happens to you, use Goo Gone to remove it. Promising review: "This is disgusting and so stinking satisfying. I'm renting a house that does not have a screen door, and I have two young children who run in and out. They bring a lot of flies with them. I've tried several different things... But what's amazing about this is that you stick it on the window, you walk away, and you let the tape do all the work for you. Disgusting and fascinating to my toddlers? Yes and yes. Is that 18 fewer flies I'm chasing around the kitchen with the swatter? Oh yes." —Meaghan Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in multiple pack sizes). Some velvet slipcovers if you have a sofa that has seen better days but is still really comfortable. Instead of splurging on a new piece of furniture, give it a facelift that will have it looking like it's brand new. A pack of five refillable multi-surface touch-up paint pens to effortlessly fix scratches and nicks on walls, doors, and cabinetry in your home. Just fill up a pen with paint of your choice and fill in the problem area. Slobproof is a small business that makes paint touch-up review: "I keep these in my kitchen drawer and it's SO convenient for my painted cabinets! I moved into a house with older wood cabinets, and because it's such a small kitchen, I knew that painting the cabinets white (actually went with cream!) would make it feel so much larger! I LOVE the way they look, but inevitably (even though I sanded and prepped), I'll get little chips in the paint. These touch-up pens stay in my junk drawer full of paint at all times. The cap makes it so it never dries out and stays super clean. But I'm able to grab them any time and just touch things up so my cabinets ALWAYS look fresh." —Claire FloresGet it from Slobproof on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in a pack of two or five). Some ceiling fan carbon filters that'll quietly trap dust and odors while you go about your life. These just stick to the top of each blade (where no one ever thinks to clean) and then they do their thing, no work from you needed. A pack of six furniture markers for covering up small nicks and cuts in your wood furniture and floors. Each kit comes with the most common wood colors (cherry, mahogany, walnut, black, maple, and oak) and matching crayons for easy filling when the damaged area is a little deep. Promising review: "I am thoroughly impressed! We have a 115-plus-year-old house, and we only have hardwood in our downstairs hall and den. We didn't want to spend tons of money because we are probably going to be replacing the flooring in a few years. I'm actually still working on this as I'm writing this, but I am so impressed that I just had to write a review right away. The only 'negative' I have is that the colors are darker than the caps show, but it's not a big deal. For the money, you can't go wrong." —BorgGet them from Amazon for $9.49. A roll of window film that'll let light in *and* keep prying eyes out. It'll give your glass doors and windows a frosted look that'll add privacy without blocking the sun, so you can go about your day without feeling like you're on display. Peel, stick, and enjoy the magic of being visible only when you want to be. Promising review: "It's been keeping us from staring at the siding of our neighbor's house while still letting in the light into our dining room for more than a year and still going strong! Bonus is that it keeps the dog from barking because the neighbor kids no longer put their faces to the window and taunt the dog. Easy to put up, stayed in place. Would buy again!" —Pet Lover 0306Get it from Amazon for $6.29+ (available in five styles and 15 sizes). A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. A pack of 30-pack of picture hooks to easily get your art up on the walls. Just push, twist, and insert into drywall or plaster, no tools required. These hooks saved the day (and my walls) after I failed miserably with nails, screws, and adhesive strips while trying to put together a gallery wall in my dining room. Instead of fumbling to find a study to drill into (what am I, a magician?) or risking smashed fingers with another ill-fitting nail, I used these to hang my art quickly and safely. You just push them into the wall and twist until only the hook portion is visible. No stud-finding, no pre-drilling, no anchors — just push, twist, and hang. I honestly don't understand why these aren't in every household. They're that good. Get it from The Home Depot for $14.98. A can of eco-friendly chalk-like paint that dries within 30 minutes to transform an old piece of furniture or cabinetry into something dazzling. It doesn't need a primer or a top coat, so you can get the job done quickly and easily. This paint contains no harsh chemicals such as phthalates, formaldehyde, heavy metals, or solvents. Promising review: "First time painting anything in my life, and it was great. No sanding or priming is needed. Beautiful colors; description and pictures are so accurate. Easy to paint and quick to dry. Time-saving! I will always be using this paint." —Samah SafiGet a 4-ounce jar from Amazon for $15.95 (available in four sizes and over 50 colors). A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Despite removing a sheet of lint from the trapper after every use, my dryer slowly started to dry clothes less and less efficiently. I figured there were probably a couple of clusters of lint stuck in the vent, and boy howdy was I right. This brush immediately pulled out a copious amount of lint — I was shocked. And it kept coming! The first couple of tries yielded so much lint, and then I went to work fitting it into the nooks and crannies of the vent. And it just kept coming. SO MUCH LINT. By the time I was done, I had a huge pile at my feet, and I could already tell my clothes were going to dry so much faster. And guess what? They did! Now I use this every six months or so for maintenance, and it's honestly impressive how much buildup it pulls out, and easily! Other perk: it's incredibly satisfying to use. Promising review: "Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard, and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." —Winged WolfGet a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99. An outlet light if you need a little light here and there around the house. Perfect for those of us who take nightly bathroom breaks or want to safely get to the kitchen for a midnight snack without turning on all the overhead lights. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner that'll help you finally tackle that weird mystery stain on the couch. It'll suck up years of "I'll get to it later" from carpets, upholstery, car seats, and more. It's compact, easy to lug around, and weirdly satisfying to use. Perfecto! Some velvet curtains if you need to filter light but don't want to sacrifice style. These are very good at providing privacy and darkening the space. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value, being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy DGet the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue or green). A mold-resistant white grout pen that'll cover grout stains with a fresh coat of waterproof white paint. Each pen can cover up to 150 feet of grout. Be sure to clean your grout beforehand, as this pen covers stains that will be easier to cover if the surface is are 11 different grout colors available: white, winter gray, light gray, gray, dark gray, black, ivory, cream, beige, brown, and terracotta. You can view all the review: "I have 12-inch white tile in my whole house that is 20 years old. Even though I kept it looking nice, the grout was still getting dark. I cleaned the grout and let it dry well until the next day, then used the grout pen. It looks like it is brand-new. One thing that I found out was that if the tip of the pen starts to look worn, you can just pull it out and turn it over — it is the same tip on both ends. It will take some time to do the whole house, but it looks so great that I will just do a section at a time 'til I finish. One other thing that I did was run my finger down the grout line after I applied the grout pen, then wipe down the tile line with a paper towel so no other cleanup was necessary." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in a narrow or wide tip). An under-cabinet lighting kit to give any space — kitchen, closet, bookshelf, you name it — a warm, ambient glow that instantly elevates the whole room. It's peel-and-stick, comes with a remote, and makes everything look a little more pulled together. Promising review: "I have five different sets in the kitchen and the adjacent living room. These are extremely easy to install, and you can adjust the warmth from very yellow to bright white. The quality is excellent, and there are no problems after months of use. I only use one remote control for all sets, but I could program each remote to control each set independently if I wanted to. Great value for the price." —John TrivesterGet 20 feet from Amazon for $17.99+ (also available in another color). A very fancy 12-inch showerhead because nothing feels better than a hot, luxurious shower after a long day. If you're looking for something that can go from a gentle rain to a monsoon with the turn of a dial, you definitely need this upgrade. Promising review: "Wished I upgraded my shower head sooner. Installation was very simple, and it even came with a guide if needed. It comes with an extension arm that connects to your existing water pipe. No leaks whatsoever, and I did not need any other tools. Took less than five minutes to install. It feels really nice standing right under the showerhead, and it covers your whole body with nice pressure and looks nice! Definitely recommend it to those looking for an upgrade!" —Vincent HorngGet it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in two sizes and four finishes). An ultra-thin socket cover to tame the mess of plugs and cords behind your furniture without sticking out (literally). It sits flat against the wall and runs the cord neatly along the baseboard, so your outlets stay functional *and* visually unoffensive. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. A pack of cabinet pulls to give your kitchen or bathroom cabinetry a mini makeover that won't break the bank. This is an easy way to make a big visual impact, especially if you're a renter (just store the old pulls in a shoebox under the sink and then put them back on when it's time to move out). Promising review: "The handles are made with high-quality heavy metal so they will stand up to everyday usage. I am very happy with how they look and showcase my kitchen cabinets. They will make your cabinets look like a high-end, very expensive item...a 10 out of 10 for sure." —Amazon CustomerGet a pack of 2 from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in six styles and 12 finishes). A tiny but mighty Levoit air purifier that'll have you breathing cleaner, fresher air without overcomplicating things. It quietly zaps dust, pet dander, and mystery particles floating around your home, so you're not just marinating in allergens all day. Promising reviews: "This air purifier is the best we have found. We have four different kinds of air purifiers in our home, as my spouse has immense allergy problems. None of the others works as well as this one. The first week, we tried this in our living space. It pulled so much dust out of the air; there was a dust sheet on the filter. We cleaned it off and moved it to our bedroom. His sleep improved immensely! We purchased a second air filter for our den, where he spends most of his time. As the other purifiers break, we will replace them with this one." —TrishaGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (also available in black). Some motion-activated, battery-powered nightlights to illuminate dark areas in your home like closets, deep cabinets, and bathrooms. These are great gets when it's late at night and you're wandering around your house like a Victorian ghost, but don't want to turn on all the lights. Some super realistic peel-and-stick subway tile in a contemporary shape if you've been meaning to add a little pizzazz to your walls. These are great for renters, especially if you have a bathroom or kitchen with an outdated aesthetic. All you do is peel and stick, and when it's time to move out, you just peel them off — it's really that easy. A sink plunger to easily unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole and if you aren't expecting it will have a mess." —AGet it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in small and large sizes). An expandable shelf for under your sink that adjusts itself around your awkwardly shaped pipe. You will be able to fit so much more stuff under your sink when you use this! Measures 15 inches long x 11.25 inches wide x 15 inches high and can expand to 25 inches review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom, and this fits perfectly. I have it extended to about 23 inches, and it holds sturdy, though I can see that if you were to extend it to its full length, it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in three finishes). Some solar-powered outdoor lantern lights if your backyard's too dark at night. Because they don't require electricity, you can hang them and then not worry about maintenance. Promising review: "My goodness, I did not expect to love these lanterns as much as I do. They are very, very good quality and display lots of light. I hung both of them between my small patio and English garden, and they provided enough light for both areas. I received them late afternoon, so they got about four hours in the sun. At 9 p.m., both came on like clockwork. I got up at 3 a.m. to check if they were still on, and they were as bright as ever. They are so dang cute and unique in my yard. I will be buying more. Love, Love, Love them." —Dog TailorGet it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three styles). A broom and mop organizer you can put on your closet's wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that'll use magical blue foam to rid your garbage disposal of foodstuff and odor. I have these and actually look forward to using them, they're that great. You push one of the biodegradable packets into your drain and then turn the water on. Before you know it, this blue foam starts bubbling up from your drain(s) and after a few minutes, completely disappears. After that, the drain is super clean, and those lingering smells are gone. Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness-free. Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer KGet two packs of four from Amazon for $11. A roll of wood grain tape if you have one of those big frameless mirrors in your bathroom and want to take it up a notch. Instead of ripping it out and replacing it with something expensive, use this tape to frame it. Promising review: "Where do I start? I absolutely LOVE this product. I wanted to replace our bathroom mirror, but due to the size, it would have cost a lot! I came across this on Amazon and decided to give it a try. The application process was super easy and applied without bubbles as long as you go slow and rub it down as you go. I kid you not. It looks like wood and feels like it, too! You can feel and see the 'wood grain.' It's absolutely stunning and looks like I bought a whole new mirror." —TaylorGet it from Amazon for $7.92. A compact utensil organizer that smartly stacks cutlery instead of placing it side-by-side. If your kitchen feels cramped or has very little drawer space, use this to store all your silverware without taking up much real estate. A hidden storage box disguised as a beautiful collection of books. Now, instead of having your electronics and all their cords on display, they'll be covered up by what looks like a top-tier curation of books. And some metal bathroom shelves with super-strong adhesive that can hold up to 15 pounds each. No more dangling a shower caddy around your showerhead!

Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover spray to effectively remove 99.9% of mold, mildew, and other yuckiness from shower tiles and caulking with super minimal work on your part. Just a few spritzes and some light elbow grease is all you'll need! Promising review:"When we moved into our house, the master bath had some serious buildup in the tub that other products (and tons of scrubbing) could not improve at all. Just by spraying this and letting it sit for a few minutes, the bleach worked its magic, and we have a clean tub! Great, easy to use cleaner - just make sure to keep a window open as long as you can since it has a strong odor/fumes." — The Snarfs Price: $19.99 for two bottles (available in packs of one or three). 2. A ChomChom pet hair roller so you can enjoy clean furniture once again. Boasting over 143,000+ 5-star reviews, this reusable gadget effortlessly scoops up pet fur over and over again, working way better than disposable lint rollers. Being a pet owner does not have to interfere with your goals for a neat home! See it in action on TikTok! Promising review: "I have four cats and one dog so you can imagine there's pet hair everywhere. I constantly have to vacuum. This is the perfect solution for a quick hair removal on fabric, like a sofa cover. It's weirdly satisfying to use it. Whoever came up with this gadget is a GENIUS! It really does pick up hair easily. This is a MUST BUY!!" — teresa 3. A bottle of Goo Gone — a liquid kitchen degreaser that effortlessly removes even the most stubborn and caked-on buildup from stoves, cabinets, ovens, and any other surfaces that are ~cramping your shine~. Promising review:"I WISH I COULD BUY THIS BY THE GALLON! Removes grease, and more, from so many things with no scrubbing! If something is stubborn, I just spray this stuff on, let a sit a few minutes, My boyfriend had some kitchenware that I thought I might need to replace due to built up grease crevices and on the bottom of the bottoms. Sprayed this on and waited a few minutes. With just a bit of elbow grease, the old buildup came off. NO need to buy new pots! When my mom saw this stuff work, she had me order her some!!!!!" — DoubleL 4. A wet-and-forget weekly shower spray if you want a ✨glistening✨ shower without having to scrub. Uhhh, let me think about Spray it once a week, and then just rinse it off 8–12 hours later to remove soap scrum, grime, mildew, and other yuckiness. Promising review:"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 had 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 and Forget Shower 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 5. Or, a shower door cleaner to specifically target hard-water spots and other filmy buildup on glass. It'll make your shower look so ~polished~ that you'll probably feel like you're in some fancy hotel suite. Check out this Rain-X TikTok cleaning hack that will keep your shower door sparkling and see-through! Promising review:"This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time, I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, and it turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." — EJP 6. A Clorox toilet cleaning system that's not only easier than traditional cleaning but also eliminates the need to have a gross toilet brush around. Just attach one of the disposable, disinfecting sponges to the wand, give the bowl a quick scrub, and ditch the now-dirty sponge and replace with a new refill head. Promising review:" This is life-changing! It has made my bathroom cleaning days much easier. This came well packaged and it was a very quick setup. I keep it in the bathroom cabinet in case I ever need to scrub the toilet and I always use it on cleaning day. I used to resort to sponges and wearing a glove to scrub my toilet but now I keep my distance with this cleaning wand. It's also great that I don't have to wash a sponge after I'm done. I just dispose of the tip at the end, it's simple like that. I haven't found a con with this cleaning system yet. Pro Tip: Also use this to clean the toilet lid and seats. Just make sure I start from the lid and seat before scrubbing inside the toilet so you don't bring the dirt from the toilet to the other parts." — Quinton 7. Plus, an overnight toilet tank cleaner because it's just not enough for the toilet bowl to be sparkly clean, the toilet tank needs to be clean too! Best of all, you only need to pour this into the tank, and it'll do the rest. 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 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 8. A window blind duster brush to help you tackle what is arguably the most tedious cleaning task out there: dusting each individual slat of the blinds. You'll find it's quite easy to use and will have your blinds wonderfully dust-free in no time. Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioners and car blinds. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D 9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner in case you've started to notice a strange odor wafting up from the sink. This will break down any lingering food residue and get rid of the smell, leaving the sink and drain nice 'n shiny in the process. Amazon Promising review:"I love these! I absolutely hate a dirty sink and I use these to keep my disposal from stinking. We bought our house back in October and there was a crazy funk coming from the drain. I tried a lot of different things from baking soda/vinegar to ice and lemons, etc. These little packages have gotten rid of that problem and I continue to use them bc they are cheap and they work. Also, there is something really satisfying about the blue bubbles in the sink." — Danielle 10. A set-it-and-forget-it multipurpose outdoor cleaner for an easy way to get rid of green moss and mildew stains on your driveway, patio, front walk, and other outdoor surfaces. You should notice a difference in as little as a week, giving you a gorgeous yard for spring and summer. Tougher black stains could take several months to go away, and if needed, you can re-spray 1–2 months after the first application. Promising review:"I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH 11. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets if your dishes are NOT coming out sparkly clean like they should. Run a cycle with one of these tablets to remove any gunk, buildup, and odor in your machine — before you know it, your dishes will be coming out like new again! The tablet goes in the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time). Then, simply run as usual. Promising review: "Honestly love these things! I am renting and our dishwasher was not cleaned super well between tenants. I popped one of these in and could already see a huge difference; after using two, my dishes have come out looking so much cleaner! I have the same brand for washing machine cleaner and love those, too." — M Another promising review: " I have had a film on my dishwasher for quite some time now, I am embarrassed to say. We did not realize that it was necessary to clean the dishwasher from time to time. The buildup had been accumulating for over four years now. I tried several other cleaners to get the buildup off, but failed. I bought this product and figured it was worth a try. We added the product into the dishwasher and ran a normal cycle without dishes. When we opened it back up, it looked like new. Highly recommend this product!" — Phillip and Katherine Price: $8.99 (also available in a 12-pack). 12. A tub of The Pink Stuff — it works so well you'll actually have the motivation to tackle those tough spring cleaning projects. Reviewers call it a "holy grail" product, so don't be surprised when it effortlessly scrubs away soap scum and rust stains from tubs, sinks, appliances, and more! This all-purpose and vegan paste is great for removing rust, hard-water stains, grease, and more messes around your home! To use, just apply it to a surface with a damp cloth, gently rub it in, rinse it off with water, and polish the area with a dry cloth. Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing! We have VERY hard water in our home and this stuff is a miracle product. It is the only product I've bought that actually works without having to let sit or without having to use extra human arm strength to get it off our shower. A little goes a long way. Simply put a dab on a cloth and press and wipe. Boom… mildew, rust stains, grime is gone! I took before and after pics but even they didn't do it justice. I will never use another product in my shower again. I'm excited to try this out in other areas next!!" — Stacey S. 13. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner if your microwave never manages to stay clean for more than a meal or two. Somebody always manages to explode something in there, but nobody ever manages to wipe it down. 🙄 Well, now you can just fill this feisty lady with vinegar and water before running the microwave for seven minutes — when the timer goes off, you'll have a sparkly clean microwave again! Promising reviews:"Our work microwave was so disgusting I wanted to throw it out. Or thought I would need a Hazmat suit to clean it. I literally put Angry Mama in for seven minutes, and everything just wiped right off. It was amazing. Then I put Angry Mama on top of the microwave. It's a funny reminder to everyone at work to keep the microwave clean. Highly recommend!" — Bridget 14. A miracle-working carpet cleaner here to remove any and all evidence of serious mishaps, like disastrous coffee spills, ink explosions, and more. Give this stuff a try before you abandon all hope and call in the professionals. 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 seriously good cleaning power. I've become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." — L. Logan 15. A versatile pack of melamine sponges that are just as ~magic~ as other brands, only way more affordable. With these, all you need to clear away tough stains and messes is water and a bit of elbow grease! In case you missed the hint, reviewers say they're just as effective as the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable! Promising review:"My husband and I recently moved to a new apartment and the previous renter was a slob. (Seriously, I'm thinking that there may have even been a demon possession involved. We're talking food on the CEILING kind of 'slob'). Upon moving in, I noticed some sort of unidentifiable grossness all over the back of my bathroom door! After donning a hazmat suit, I grabbed one of these erasers and in no time flat the possible dried projectile demon vomit was off of my door. Thank goodness!" — Beckaroosy Another promising review:"As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." — Stephen Brandau 16. A no-rinse coil cleaner since having clean coils on your fridge and air conditioner ensures they keep cool and run efficiently (and sparkle, of course) — but alas, this means you have to keep the coils clean! Luckily, you can just spray this foaming cleaner onto the coils and watch the dust vanish before your very eyes. Promising review:"Works like magic! I have a Sub-Zero refrigerator with the evaporator at the top. I looked and saw the amount of lint and grime that had built up. There were several versions of this type of product, I bought this — one of the less expensive versions — and it worked exceptionally well. I have no idea where all of the stuff goes — but when this spray hits it, it disappears. There is probably enough of the stuff in the can to do three or four refrigerators, so I passed it onto my neighbors, who were impressed, too." — MatBo911 17. A powerful drill brush kit so you can restore your tub after you pull up the bathmat only to find grimy caked-on stains underneath. 🤮 With three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes, this kit has everything you need to get rid of soap scum and buildup everywhere, from corners to flat surfaces. Just attach one to your drill and watch it clean those messes with hardly any effort on your part — here's a drill if you need one! This brush comes in different colors and bristle textures: white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpets, upholstery, glass, and leather; yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathrooms, bathtubs, shower, tiles, and porcelain; green is a medium bristle, best for kitchens, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoes/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garages, and gutters; and black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing. Promising review:"I had some buildup of soap scum on my bathroom sink I had tried to get off, and it just wasn't possible, so I let it continue to build up. I got to the point where I just thought it looked awful and needed a new solution. I decided the drill brushes was worth trying, and within about 10 minutes of drill brushing my sink is like brand-new." — ToddV 18. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to keep the thing that cleans your clothes clean. 😊 Not to mention, if you've been struggling with the dreaded musty machine smell, many reviewers say this completely solved the problem and left it smelling fresh! The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle, then wipe away the residue — easy breezy! Promising review: "These are like magic! We all know that front load washers can get a distinct smell to them after a while. Every once in a while I pop one of these babies in, run it on self clean, and let it go. As soon as it's done, it's like I have a brand new machine. The scent isn't strong, no more than your average detergent. I swear by these. I highly recommend them to friends and I highly recommend them to you, too!" — Alyssat17 Price: $11.38 for a six-pack (also available in a three-pack). 19. A nifty baseboard cleaning tool that extends and swivels 360 degrees, which means no spot is out of reach! You'll be astounded by how much dust has accumulated on top of all your door frames, windows, and other hard-to-reach ledges. Promising review:"I have lived in my house for three years and have never cleaned my baseboards. We are a busy, active family and 'clean the baseboards' is never on the immediate list of things to be done…not to say that it doesn't need to be done. I just don't have time. Then I spotted the Baseboard Buddy. I figured it couldn't hurt to try it. It showed up today and I put it together in about two minutes and took it for a test drive. I dusted my entire downstairs, above the doors and along the stair rails in about 15 minutes! I used it dry and it worked great. I'll probably use a multipurpose cleaner with it next time. The head swivels, which is great. There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's super easy." — Jennifer H. 20. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner so you can relax after all your spring cleaning with a luxurious soak in clean water. Not to ~burst your bubble bath~, but there's likely soap scum, body oils, and other yuckiness hiding away in those jets, all of which this stuff will clear out. Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. Promising review:"I honestly did not think this was going to work any better than some other methods I had tried. Boy was I wrong. Followed the instructions and watched in disbelief as the gunk and the grime started surfacing in the tub. Let it run its course, drained the tub, then filled it with cold water, ran the jets for 10 minutes, and it was like brand new. Every now and then you come across a product that actually works, this being one of those. BTW it hardly has any smell, which also surprised me." — JJS in Madison 21. A heavy-duty grout cleaner that will have everyone thinking you completely re-did the floors. You might even fool yourself when the space in between the tiles suddenly turns white instead of gray. 😱 Clean-Eez is an Indiana-based small biz selling cleaning products that'll make tackling even the toughest jobs a lot easier. Promising review:"Simply the best product! I rent and unfortunately not everyone takes good care of a rental property. I just moved and was disgusted by the flooring (regular white tiles with disgustingly dark grout). Used the product as directed and the results really impressed me! Definitely recommend this product!" — Maria Alejandra Hinojosa Another promising review: "After trying to get my grout clean with everything I could think of and not having any success, I stumbled upon a TikTok using Grout-Eez so i thought I would try it. This stuff is legit. I'm confident a professional cleaner couldn't get my grout cleaner. There is literally no dirt left. Very little scrubbing required and little to no odor. It's amazing! The scrub brush included attached to my paint handle and I didn't even have to bend over. I cleaned it twice because my grout was really dirty, then I sealed the grout in hopes it won't get dirty again so fast. I can't wait to do the rest of my house!" — Kathy 22. A set of suuuper teeny detailing brushes for cleaning the crevices on your ornate furniture, decor, or electronic gadgets! Would this be considered overboard by some? Perhaps. But we just call it being thorough. Oh, and by the way, the sharp-ended handles mean these brushes double as mini scrapers. It includes a crevice brush, bottle brush, groove brush, gap brush, edge brush, detailing brush, track brush, corner brush, and hole brush. Promising review: "I'm always needing to clean impossibly tight spaces and corners. These were inexpensive, so I gave them a shot and I'm glad I did. They're better than I'd hoped. Not only do they have useful brushes and soft tipped heads that wipe tight spaces, the handles have hard plastic tools on the other end as well. I've scraped grime and film from corners and grooves with the angled plastic scraper edges on the handles of several of these tools, then used that tool's soft tip to wipe it away. I'm restoring a 100-year-old house, so I clean some really grimy things. I've been amazed at how completely the soft tips on these rinse clean under just some hot water with a squirt of bleach cleaner for the worst of the grime. The zip-up plastic pouch is a nice extra. Nothing fancy about it, but it keeps the tools together and easy to find. And it's sturdy, which I appreciate." — R. Hewitt Price: $7.29 for the 8-piece set (also available in smaller and larger sets). 23. Or an Oxo deep-clean brush set — it's perfect for scrubbing the seemingly impossible crevices, like on your faucet, in between tiles, and more. It's like an extremely robust and durable toothbrush! The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side. Promising review:"Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." — Laura Gail Price: $8.69 (also available in a grout brush). 24. And a 2-in-1 ultra-slim brush and scraper since it can easily fit into those super narrow, easily-forgotten spaces you definitely need to clean, such as the bathroom vent, radiator, and window grooves. Amazon Promising review:"Perfect little brush to get in the hard to clean areas. Used it in the tracks of an old pet door stuffed with dog hair and dander. Shocked at how much gunk came out with this brush. I like how the bristles are longer and can really reach into the nooks and crannies." — Island Girl 25. A cooktop cleaning kit that will keep your ceramic stovetop looking brand spanking new. In fact, your friends might start to question if you ever actually cook at home. Amazon Promising review:"If you have a stain that nothing will get out (vinegar, baking soda etc.), such that you think you damaged the glass - get this. Partner used espresso maker on high heat on a burner repeatedly, leaving white burn marks that nothing seemed to remove. This did it. Importantly, follow the instructions: put the stuff on, and scrub right away (don't leave to soak). Very happy/relieved." — RB 26. A pack of two plant-based stainless steel cleaners because stainless steel looks so sleek... until it's covered in fingerprints and water marks. This is specifically formulated to remove smudges without leaving streak marks. All shine, no grime baby! 😉 Promising review:"The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good, and the price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now, my stainless steel appliances look shiny, and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." — diana 27. A spray-and-drip crystal cleaner to transform your dull chandelier into a stunning statement piece, which has the wonderful side effect of making your home feel like the Palace of Versailles. Best of all, this just sprays on with no wiping needed, so no need to take down the fixture and clean every crystal individually! Promising review:"This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I've attached before and after one application photos —seen above." — kw Price: $23.95 28. A pack of Swedish dishcloths — AKA super absorbent, reusable, and biodegradable little towels that are clearly far superior than any other option. Why? Well, these are more eco-friendly than sponges, stronger and more reusable than paper towels *and* way more versatile. Use them dry or wet for cleaning dishes, kitchen floors and appliances, scrubbing the tub, and other household tasks. Promising review:"Much better than all cotton dishcloths because: they are VERY absorbent, yet easy to wring out completely (and I mean completely!) after use; when using them to wash dishes, things like jar garlic "seeds", tomato "seeds," etc., are easily rinsed out, unlike all cotton cloths; and because you can wring them out completely, they work really well to dry the sink after washing dishes, clean counters off, etc. And as advertised, they don't stink! Today I threw several of them in the washing machine and hung them up to air dry, but discovered too late that I'd put one in the dryer. It shrank by at least an inch all around. My husband said, "Maybe if you run water on it, it will get big again!" He was joking, but it DID return to its normal size when I ran water over it! So, they can be put in the dryer if you want! VERY happy with this purchase, and highly recommend these." — JTD Price: $19.99 for 10 (available in ten colors/styles) Reviews here have been edited for length and/or clarity.

39 Spring Cleaning Products That'll Bring A Tear To Any Clean Freak's Eye
1. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray specifically designed to win the fight against the greasy nastiness that's been coating the surfaces of your kitchen since the holiday season. You can use it to spruce up range hoods (it's probably way dirtier than you think right now), microwaves, pots and pans, oven doors, and any food-prep surfaces. Safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas! Promising review:"The tops of my cupboards had been cleaned maybe once in 15 years. They were disgusting with grease and dust that I thought I'd never get off. Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!" — JC Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes). 2. A bottle of heavy-duty grout cleaner to loosen up all the dirt in between your tiles, because a sparkly-clean floor can go a surprisingly long way in revitalizing your bathroom or kitchen. This only needs up to 10 minutes to work its magic, then all you have to do is give the grout a quick scrub and rinse. Pair it with a grout brush for maximum effect! It comes in bundles with two different brush styles. Promising reviews:"This was easy to use and worked extremely well. I hadn't used a cleaner for the six years following my bathroom remodel, so the grout was pretty dirty. My bathroom grout was perfectly clean after just one application. The guest bathroom was much improved and, after a second application, was also perfectly clean. I recommend this product!!" — KC "I never leave reviews on Amazon, but this grout cleaner definitely deserves a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-Eez, and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-Eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." — Tyler Get it from Amazon for $21.95. 3. The ChomChom pet hair remover roller that will pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in their wake this time of year. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair, and the quick-release button makes it a breeze to remove the fur from the roller brush. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life, I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds, everything girl owns is now covered cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chef's kiss* to the creators of this product." — SB Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 4. And a broom for pet and human hair so you can rake up all the shedding fur that your vacuum can't reach. You'll be so shook when you see all the hair and dust that's hiding out in your area rugs that you might just add to the over 78,000 5-star reviews. Promising review:"I decided to take a chance on this broom, and I am so happy I did. It takes some elbow grease, but it gets the fur off the area rug in my living room. Not only is it great for getting the fur off rugs, but it's also even better on the hard floors. My regular broom catches some of the hair (which I then have to clean off by hand), but much of it just swirls away in the breeze the sweeping creates. This broom actually collects even the tiny stray hairs and deposits them in the dust pile without me having to get my hands dirty (literally)." — Sarah R. Get it from Amazon for $19.31 (available in different styles and with accessories). 5. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads because spring cleaning is a job too big for those flimsy (and wasteful) disposable pads. These have helpful Velcro straps so the pad won't go flying off when you're scrubbing your kitchen floor or that weird, mysterious, dusty spot behind your toilet. I have no idea what goes on back there, and it's really none of my business. They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. Promising review: "I am amazed at how good these Reusable Mop Pads really are!! I rarely do reviews — but I have ordered several different reusable products for my Swiffer only to throw them out later. These are extremely well-made and easy to use. Fits my mop easily without struggling to put them on, absorbent, and they wash beautifully. I first tried it as a dry mop (I have a lab who sheds), and it worked beautifully. Then I tried it with some hardwood floor cleaner on my floor, and again, it was a winner. After writing this review, I am off to purchase another pack because they are that good." — EP Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.39. 6. An extra large MagicFiber microfiber cleaning cloth so you can clean your favorite member of the family — the TV. You know those little cleaning cloths that come with a new pair of glasses? This is basically a giant 16 x 16 version of that, making it perfect for removing smudges, fingerprints, and caked-on dust from TVs, laptop screens, windows, and other delicate surfaces. Imagine how vivid and crystal clean your annual Spring Breakers viewing will look!! A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eyeglasses, and modern flat-screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners, and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary, it says, and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.74. 7. A Swiffer-style cleaner specifically designed to fit in all the grooves in your baseboards, because, honestly, when was the last time you actually cleaned them? It may seem like a time-consuming task, but the four-foot handle makes it a breeze to reach the baseboards without even bending over. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." — retired Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 8. A rechargeable compressed air duster so you can go full Terminator and blast away all of the dust that's hiding in the cracks and crevices you usually ignore until it's time for spring cleaning. I'm talking about that weird space between your tub and sink, the ridges of your vents, and even the Dorito dust in your keyboard. It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home, INVEST IN THIS!!" — S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 9. A powerful spray that'll break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower looked like before all the humidity took its toll or what your patio furniture looked like before you abandoned it all winter. Promising reviews:"This product is amazing! I used it one time, and it got the job done. There is a space in my window that is poor fitting and allows condensation. I would highly recommend this product." — Savi "It rains almost every day during the Summer in Florida. By the end of Summer, my cool deck was green with mold around the perimeter. I was about to pay to have someone power wash my deck but found RMR-86 on Amazon. I purchased a bottle and sprayed all the areas that had mold and mildew. RMR-86 started working within minutes, right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." — Marie Moore Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes). 10. And a mold and mildew stain remover in a squeezable gel formula that can cling onto awkward vertical and inclined surfaces and fit in tight spaces. Just squeeze, walk away, then give it a quick rinse in the morning to reveal some jaw-dropping results. Promising review:"The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this, and with one application, it is bright, shiny, and white again! If this hadn't worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them." — Planetary Drive Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 11. A fume-free Easy-Off oven cleaner so you can finally scrub away the burnt tomato sauce left behind after the last time you attempted to make lasagna. It can also clean your oven door, broiler plates, and stainless steel surfaces — just spray and wipe away. Promising reviews:"I've always used this name brand — spray on and easy wipe off, it did a great job on my oven. I was so proud of what a good job it did. It got every nook and cranny of my oven, and now it looks so clean." — Fwen "I am amazed at this stuff. I've lived in my house for three years, and I have never cleaned my oven. I doubt the previous owners ever did, either. It was a blackened, grody mess. I sprayed a heavy coat of this stuff all over the inside and let it sit for a while. Then I got to scraping and wiping. I couldn't believe how much rock-hard soot came off. I gave some stubborn spots a second coat and eventually had the entire thing looking new. It's a miracle spray." — GinHum Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (also available in a two-pack). 12. Or an all-natural oven scrub made with gritty pumice stone, so you can really go to town on that pizza that exploded and left a mess everywhere. It'll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on the racks — because, yes, those need cleaning, too. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 13. A handheld steam cleaner that uses the power of super duper hot water to blast away caked-on dirt and grime. From the disgusting corners of your shower to the window sills that haven't been wiped down in ages, prepare to carry this around your home like a Proton Pack. Who you gonna call? Dustbusters! Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most all clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily... If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy Get it from Amazon for $55.89. 14. A Chomp wall cleaner — I am very sorry if I sent a shiver down your spine at the mere concept of cleaning your walls. But don't worry, this makes it SO easy. This telescoping tool can reach all the way up to the ceiling and down to the baseboards, so you won't have to balance on a rickety chair or bend down low and throw your back out. Pair it with Chomp's wall cleaning spray — it's safe for painted walls! Promising review:"This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over, and a limited income and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" — Lou DeJesus Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 15. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Also, cleaning your cleaning appliances is a level of adulthood most never reach in their lifetime. Proud of you. 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. 16. A crevice cleaning tool reviewers are raving over thanks to its comfortable nonslip handle and elongated bristles that are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, like window tracks, keyboards, toilet seats, grout, and the very scary nastiness that's lurking around your faucet. Amazon, Promising review: "I bought these brushes thinking they might be handy, but they turned out to be amazing! I can clean places that are practically impossible to reach with anything else. The bristles are thin yet sturdy, allowing them to fit into tight spaces and do the job perfectly. Definitely a great buy!" — Homa Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 14 colors and larger pack sizes). 17. A super-long duster — it can reach high enough to clean your ceiling fans and vents and far enough to clean that tight space underneath your dresser. You could practically lay on the couch and speedily dust every surface around you when last-minute visitors are on their way. The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 18. And an absolutely genius duster you can slide right over your ceiling fan's blades, because you'd be surprised how much unseen grime can accumulate on the tops of those things. It even comes with mop heads, so it can double as a floor and baseboard cleaner. Promising review: "Really surprised, this sweeper really got up there and was able to clean off dust AND grime from the overhead fan. The fan is located in the living room so it could be an attention grabber, especially if it were only partially cleaned. After using the duster, I felt comfortable knowing there weren't any visible signs of dirt left for scrutiny!" — BeBe Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 19. Also! A three-pronged duster to reach in between your blinds because they are probably way dirtier than you think 😬. The design means you can hit multiple blinds at once, so you'll be done with the full window in just a few swipes. Once you're done, just throw the cloth in the washing machine and pop a new one on! Amazon The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves, so you can take care of all your windows at once before giving the sleeves a good wash. You can use the cleaning cloth to dry for light dust or spray your blinds with an all-purpose cleaning spray first to help loosen up any caked-on grime. Promising review:"A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." — R.D. Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 20. And!!! A pack of duster sponges some reviewers say are even better than the often-sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster (also, why isn't it called the Dust Daddy?!) This is perfect for that annoying caked-on dust that a typical dry duster can't tackle — just dampen it, swipe, then rinse to reuse. Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and also in packs of two and eight). 21. A carpet spot-cleaning spray to tackle that stain from The Great Spaghetti Incident of 2024 that you simply decided to throw a rug over. It fortunately lives up to the "instant" in its name: simply spray the stain, agitate for a few seconds, then wipe away! Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobnty Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs). 22. A tub of magical heavy-duty all-purpose cleaning wipes — they can remove everything from grease to ink stains almost instantly and with zero water required. They're made with aloe and vitamin E, so they're gentle on your skin but still tough enough to remove permanent markers, adhesive residue, and more. These wipes are nonabrasive so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors, vinyl, baseboards, and more. Promising review:"I have a small kitchen, and everything tends to get an oily, greasy film on it very quickly. I don't have a tile backsplash or a range hood, and my fridge is right next to my stove, so the paint on the wall and the textured fridge get pretty disgusting. The tiniest little oil splatter seems to cover my whole kitchen. When these wipes arrived yesterday, I attacked my kitchen with them. They worked amazingly well! I didn't realize how much grease was really sticking to everything until I saw how disgusting the wipes were getting. Luckily, they're huge, so I was able to cover a lot before I needed a new one. I have very sensitive skin, and these didn't dry my hands out at all. I also get severe migraines, which are easily triggered by chemical smells, and these have a nice, lemony scent that didn't trigger me at all. 10 stars!" — Michele West Get a 90-pack from Amazon for $14.98. 23. A pumice cleaning stone to break down all of the nastiness in your toilet and have it looking sparkly, presentable, and Ikea showroom-ready. Just wet it with water, get to scrubbing, then store it in the included carrying case until your next deep-cleaning session! Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time that regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. I decided to try this pumice stone, figuring that the worst that could happen would be that it scratched the porcelain, and I'd have to replace the toilet. Which was what I would have had to do anyway if I couldn't get the disgusting stains out. The pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching. I am very happy with this worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in packs of two and four). 24. An all-natural scouring paste that'll show all the gunk in your sink and tub who's boss. The sodium bicarbonate will help scrub away dried-up messes, while the citrus essential oils will break through soap scum. You can even use it as a nontoxic oven cleanser! Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed My Shopping team colleague Danielle Healy is a fan (she took the photos above!), saying: "I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I've been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets, only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢. After going at it with a regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success), we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort, and OH BOY, did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!" Humble Suds is a small Etsy shop based in Colorado. Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $13.95+ (available in two sizes). 25. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets to banish odors and break down residue so your clothes will come out feeling cleaner than ever. Just one tablet will help remove any caked-up grime in the pump and valve, drum and basket, and filter. Promising review: "I didn't think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn't smell musty, and has removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." — AVDW Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in packs of three). 26. And a pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you. These tablets will break down lime and mineral buildup in the main compartment, internal pumps, and the pump and valve — so your dishes will come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials. You can place one in the detergent tray and run a normal cycle. An additional tablet can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher for a deeper clean. You can also use it while cleaning dishes by placing a tablet in the bottom of your dishwasher when running a normal cycle. Promising review:"Definitely worth trying! I moved into a new place and discovered the hard way that the previous tenant was a disgusting slob — and I mean GROSS. About 6 weeks in, some random grease clog happened somewhere in our plumbing/something went wrong, and my sink and dishwasher began emptying (unbeknownst to me at first) into my downstairs neighbor's kitchen. Long story short, everything was replaced and repaired but my dishwasher smelled horribly rotten and seemed to just make dishes dirtier. Oily and stinky, somehow, no matter how much prewash/soap/good old scrub the dishwasher on your knees, I did. It was beyond useless; it was making my kitchen stink. My landlord was unconcerned at this point because the problems had *technically* been fixed. (Yeah, one of those). THIS PRODUCT WAS WORTH, FOR ME, 3X WHAT I PAID. One tablet worked wonders, and a second was probably not needed, but I did one anyway, and I'm just absolutely amazed. It's better than it was when I moved in. If only this could fix up the rest of my apartment for me!!?!" — Mirwonderful Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a two-pack of six-count boxes). 27. A bathroom cleaner made with natural ingredients like tea tree and eucalyptus essential oils to leave your tiles and tub shining like the sun that's finally come out of hiding! Plus, it's free from fumes and synthetic dyes, so it won't give you any mid-chore headaches. That's pollen's job. Promising review:"I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (also available in a two-pack). 28. A leather cleaner to polish up and add some shine to any furniture, shoes, or accessories that have seen better days. But don't use it right out of the bottle! Dilute it with eight ounces of water for every two tablespoons of cleaning solution, then apply and wipe away any dirt and grime with no scrubbing required. You can also use it on faux leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber. Promising review:"My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." — jellybean55 Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes). 29. A flexible coil lint and dust brush so you can finally reach all the dust in your dryer vent (built-up lint is a fire hazard, btw!) and the crumbs that are hiding underneath your oven and fridge. I'm shuddering just thinking about what's living under there. The full length of the brush with handle is 27.5 inches, while the actual brush itself is 13.5 inches. Promising review:"I use one in the dryer filter area and one under the refrigerator. They get dust I can't get any other way. I gave five stars for durability even though I've had them for only a short time. They feel sturdy to last long enough for me." — ASF Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99 (also available individually and in a three-pack). 30. A cleaning kit that'll make your ceramic cooktop look as shiny and flawless as the day you moved in. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this, it looks like my stove could be brand-new." — Christi Lambertson Get it from Amazon for $12.48+ (available in two sizes and a set with three pads). 31. Or! A gas range cleaning spray — it takes just seconds to cut through grime and grease and eliminate any evidence that your roommates are total slobs. Now, I'm just projecting. Just spray it on and wipe away — or leave it on for 30 minutes if you're dealing with caked-on nastiness. This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let's just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I'm not particularly fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we're even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.73. 33. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which has become so TikTok-famous it's racked up 154,000 positive ratings. It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected ovens with the help of a little elbow grease. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available with a scrubbing sponge). 34. A viral spin scrubber that'll tackle everything from nasty bathtubs to greasy ovens. It comes with seven different brush heads so you can scrub away at basically every nook and cranny, and the pole extends to 45 inches long so you can wave goodbye standing on the edge of the tub to clean the shower walls. Promising review:"The cordless design adds a level of convenience that I didn't know I needed. It allows me to move freely without being tethered to an outlet, making it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas. The battery life is impressive, providing ample time to complete my cleaning tasks on a single charge. Another aspect I love is the ergonomic design. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the lightweight construction ensures that my arm doesn't get tired, even during extended cleaning sessions. The different brush heads are easy to swap out and clean, adding to the overall user-friendly experience." — K.L.P. Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in eight colors and a smaller style). 35. Or a small but impressive power scrubber to break down all the caked-on grime in your shower so you can turn your bathroom into the clean, shiny sanctuary you truly deserve. You can use it on basically any tough spaces (think the tight areas around your faucet, window sills, etc) and it claims to work twice as fast as a manual brush, so you'll be saving so much time. Less cleaning = more picnics and trips to the botanic garden. Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed Psst: Batteries are included! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown had to say:"I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap, and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease." Get it from Amazon for $17.38 (refill heads and attachments also available). 36. A Power Dash carpet cleaner so lightweight and compact, it has more than 55,000 reviewers looking forward to spring deep-cleaning sessions. It features a powerful brush specifically designed to tackle your pet's nastiest messes, and it uses the power of 🔥 HeatForce 🔥 to quickly dry your carpets so you won't have to step on a wet floor for hours afterward. Promising review:"This carpet cleaner is better than I could ever imagine. When I first got it, I was skeptical because it was so small. I couldn't wait to see what it did. I started my carpets at 6 and was done by 10. That included two living rooms, two hallways, and two bedrooms. My carpet was so clean, I stood there just starting, amazed at my carpets. I had big dirt spots from plants and pee spots from my pooch, and after I cleaned it, you couldn't even [tell] the stains were there! One of my carpets is cream and the carpet cleaner did so well you couldn't tell that it wasn't done professionally. The carpet cleaner is lightweight and easy to assemble. The way my carpet was dry was amazing. All carpets were dry by 11. I never would have thought that a small carpet cleaner could even give these types of results. Everything about this carpet cleaner and solution is amazing, and I wish I found it sooner. Run and get you one right away!" — Myriam H. Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in "Advanced" and "Pet" styles). 37. Bissell's iconic Little Green cleaner — reviewers say it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to use, so you won't mind carrying it around to give all the upholstery in your home a good sprucing up. Now's the time to get your couches in tip-top shape before your pups and kids track tons of dirt and grass inside. This beloved device is easy to use: just fill it with the included cleaning solution, then move the cleaning brush along any upholstered fabric as the nozzle sprays the solution and quickly sucks up any stains. Promising review: "I love this thing. I bought it on a whim after seeing so many TikToks about it, and I can now say I am obsessed with it. As soon as it arrived I wanted to try it out, so I started on an old, old stain on my rug, and imagine my surprise when it instantly came out (I had tried every cleaning product prior to this). Then I thought I would try my couch, and it now looks brand new. Next was my car. I've owned my car for 10 years, and it has fabric seats. Honestly, I was grossed out by how much brown liquid and dirt came out of those seats, but my car looks and smells amazing now. I would highly recommend this; easy to move around and clean rugs, couches, cars, chairs, and more." — Zoey Get it from Amazon for $120.49 (also available in a "Pet Deluxe" style and a "Cordless" model with a more powerful motor). 38. A hard-water stain remover if your shower is so nasty you barely even feel clean after using it. From hard water buildup to limescale and rust, this minty-fresh cleaner can bring tubs and shower doors back to life in just a few minutes. Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" — Laura "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff, lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 39. A garbage disposal cleaner — it can tackle any food residue that's been lingering in there for far too long and causing that mysterious ~stank~ in your kitchen. It makes you realize adulthood is just learning about all the things you never realized you were supposed to be cleaning. Amazon, Start by making sure your disposer is turned off; run a hot stream of water (not directly into the disposer) for one minute, then reduce the stream to a small trickle. Insert one of the cleaning bags into the turned-off disposer with the small stream of water still flowing, turn on the disposer, then turn off the disposer once the blue foam disappears after 1-2 minutes, and give the sink a quick rinse. Promising review:"Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn't just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products; it cleans, too, and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out, and that's good enough for me." — sylvie yah Get a two-pack of four-count bags (eight bags total) from Amazon for $6.80 (also available in a pack of 16 and 24).

A tiny milk frother to upgrade every caffeinated drink you make at home. This compact gadget is ridiculously easy to use and delivers barista-quality frothed milk that's creamy, foamy, and downright delicious. Promising review:"Works great! Loved using it for eggnog during the holidays." — Ashley Graha 2. An egg cooker that can cook up to seven eggs in minutes. This must-have piece of machinery can prep hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and individual omelets with the touch of a button, thus satisfying virtually every egg craving you can have. Deviled eggs, anyone? Promising review: 'This allows me to do other breakfast jobs so all parts of breakfast are served at the same time and hot. Eggs are so so easy to peel. Used over the holidays to make deviled eggs. It saved so much time not having to struggle to peel eggs. Shells just fell off. Took it to my sisters over the holidays. Really helped in making breakfast for eight adults and four kids. My sister and sister-in-law each have one for their kitchen.' — Richard 3. A clip-on colander that adheres directly to your pot of pasta for pain-in-the-butt-free drainage. This gizmo can also fasten to pans and bowls and is much smaller than a traditional colander. Pro tip: It also works with veggies, potatoes, and more! Promising review: 'Works like a charm on a lot of different-sized pots. I use it for pasta and to drain a large pot of potatoes to make mashed potatoes on holidays. Use common sense and tilt a little at a time, but steady. It sure beats using a lid to drain potatoes. I always put it on the top rack of the dishwasher. One of my favorite most-used kitchen utensils.' — J. D. Dallas 4. A size-adjustable jar opener that adheres underneath your kitchen cabinet and stays out of sight so you can always open jars with ease and cook whatever your heart desires. Your friends will basically think you turned into The Hulk. Promising review: 'Finally, someone has invented the perfect jar opener that is simple and requires no space in your kitchen drawers or counters. There was one person who suggested placing the opener with the sharp end of the 'V' closest to you and with it placed in the front, right corner under your cabinet. I followed those directions, and it works perfectly and easily. I have already placed an order for another one as a gift for my sister.' — cat lover 5. A fast-acting Goo Gone kitchen degreaser that'll work some damn magic on the grease that's inevitably lurking on your stovetop, the oven hood, that wall behind your range, and anywhere else. Grease, begone! It's safe to use on any surface, including ceramic, sealed stone, and tile. Promising review:"I wish I took before and after pictures, but honestly, I didn't expect it to work. Let me tell you this product is SORCERY. I'm moving and had cabinets and a fridge I needed to clean that were filthy. The spills were caked on, think fridge spills that never got cleaned, and seasonings that spilled and had formed just the grossest gunk. I was certain I wasn't going to get the stains out of the fridge and cabinets. I sprayed the product and let it sit for two minutes, and I knew it was working because the foam had visibly lifted the gunk and grime. I simply wiped with a paper towel and EVERYTHING came off. No scrubbing and no damage. You NEED this for your kitchen!!!!!" — Amber A. 6. A cooktop cleaner kit to make sure your cooktop survives chili night, spaghetti Fridays, and every messy meal in between. This six-piece kit removes grease and caked-on food from any ceramic or glass cooking surface with little effort on your part. This kit includes a bottle of liquid cleaner, a grip pad tool, a scraper, and three three pads. Promising review:"I had tried four different cleaners before discovering this one and I wish I would have found it sooner! All of that caked-on liquid that runs out of the pans and burns into the stove top while you're cooking?? This removes all of it. It doesn't scratch your glass-top stove top, and it leaves it looking brand-new. I won't ever buy another cleaner — this is it for me!" — Christine Price: $11.48 7. A silverware sorter to bring order to your flatware collection. With various compartments and plenty of space, you can rest assured that no more forks will get caught in your drawer and prevent it from closing. Promising review:"Wish I would have had this years ago! After years of struggling to keep my one small utensil drawer organized and failing, this organizer has done the job. It doubles the amount of silverware storage space and frees up half of my drawer for larger serving spoons and such. I love it." — J.C. 8. A vampire-shaped garlic mincer if you love cooking with garlic but hate the pungent odor it leaves on your hands. To use this clever gadget just twist the Count's head to crush the garlic, and pop the whole thing in the dishwasher when you're done. This little bloodsucker is 100% food-safe, BPA-free, and dishwasher-safe! Promising review:"It's so ridiculous how cute and functional it is! I hated chopping or mincing garlic before getting this! It is fast and efficient and can get a lot done quickly. Did I mention how cute this is? Also, please know this IS dishwasher-safe. I pop the hair off before putting the top in the dishwasher, and the bottom is one piece, so there are no issues of water getting in and staying there, as other reviewers have expressed concerns about. BUT! If there is ONE THING that is a bit of a pain, it is getting ALL the bits out — but a small silicone spatula or scraper does the trick just fine for me! I use this garlic tool daily; it is honestly a game-changer for my cooking game!" — Llamazon Customer 9. A new *portable* Ninja Crispi Air Fryer system that will revolutionize how you enjoy food because it prepares your meal in the same container you eat it from. Once your meal is ready, you can chow down and then store any leftovers directly in the same container. Yeah, it's that good. Amazon Each air fryer comes with the"PowerPod," two containers (a 4-quart and a 6-quart), and lids. The PowerPod has auto-shutoff and four modes: Max Crisp, Bake, Air Fry, and Recrisp. The "feet" are heat-safe, so you can prop it on any surface without worrying! Promising review: "I got my Ninja Crisper today and reheated some stuffed bread with feta cheese and spinach, and it did a wonderful job. I t was like it just came out of the oven the first time. Nice and crispy outside, but the inside heated just right. I love that the bottom glass can be covered with the lid it comes with. They come with a metal plate you can put in the glass bottom part, and it actually fits into the lid, so it doesn't get lost. The glass makes a difference in the taste, too. It is a great product and well worth it." — Jennifer 10. And a set of magnetic air fryer cheat sheets because making sure your food is perfectly crispy every time is tricky, even for air fryer pros. These handy guides will help ensure that your cauliflower bites are never mushy, and your chicken fingers are never burnt. Promising review:"So glad that I came across these very handy sheets. I love having this information handy and easy to use. The magnetic sheets are strong and stay in place well, even with the fridge door opening and closing a lot. It's handy to have them right in view for quick reference. It helps us to use the air fryer more, as it's easy to glance over and time things correctly. I like that it is a dark color, so it doesn't get messy as easily, and it has all the things we are most likely to use the air fryer for. The envelope the magnetic sheets come in is cute and would make a nice gift, perhaps in a basket or bag of related items. Happy to have these!" — Small~Town~Girl 11. A super useful brush and squeegee combo that'll easily clean just about any kitchen mess. Use the brush side for crumbs and the squeegee for liquid spills, and store the whole thing on the ledge of your sink when it's not in use. Amazon Promising review:"LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" — Prime Time Review Price: $10.63 12. Or, a pack of 10 ridiculously effective Swedish dishcloths designed to handle everything from a spilled glass of milk to washing dishes. Each cloth can absorb 15 times its weight in liquid, which means you no longer need to spend money on wasteful paper towels. Reviewers love that these cloths are machine-washable, dry quickly, and can be used over and over again. That's what we call a win-win-win. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman loves these: "I recently received a pack to try and was surprised at how often I found myself reaching for them. While they can't replace a sponge (at least not in my cleaning routine because they're not as abrasive as a sponge), they are a fantastic paper towel replacement in most scenarios. I keep one in my kitchen and bathroom to deal with puddles on the counter and by the faucet, spills, and crumbs. As someone who buys sponges in bulk, I usually forget which sponge is the dish sponge and which is the cleaning sponge. Now that I have these dishcloths to handle easy messes, I don't have to worry about accidentally washing my dishes with the sponge that has bleach and harsh chemicals on it." Promising review:"I heard about these on TikTok. I wanted something that simply absorbs my cleaner and what's wet off the counter without streaking crap like most washcloths and sponges do. These showed up today sturdy and kinda weird. I sprayed my dirty, oily stovetop with cleaner, got one of the square sponges wet, and started wiping up the counters and stove. Hot diggity dog! I love this sponge already! Cleaned up completely and didn't require repeated passes. When you use it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Great product!!!!" — Julie 13. A pack of eight Death Wish coffee instant sticks because we all need a quick caffeine fix from time to time. This organic, fair-trade coffee has notes of dark chocolate and black cherry, and is best enjoyed when mixed with eight ounces of boiling water. Say buh-bye to that afternoon slump. Promising review: "Great flavor and kick. The instant powder packets are awesome to take anywhere and enjoy a cup of great-tasting coffee with just a cup of hot water. Camping staple for me." — JGard 14. A genius pantry door organizer that can be hung over said door or mounted to it for an even cleaner look. Reviewers love this item because it has six tiers — plenty of room for snacks, canned goods, and more. Promising review:"This thing is well made, it's easy to put together, and I love it! It cleared so much room in my kitchen pantry and makes it so much easier to organize! LOVE IT! Definitely worth the $$$." — David A. Payne 15. A bottle of Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cinnadust to bring that wonderfully bold and familiar flavor to just about everything you eat. Reviewers love sprinkling this magic dust in coffee or hot cocoa, but it also shines on buttered toast, ice cream, and even popcorn Check out a TikTok of the Cinnadust in action. Promising review: "This is 10 out of 10, I would order again. Try it on yogurt, ice cream, toast, and carrots, and amazingly, I saw a TikTok challenge with it on hard-boiled eggs. It is stupendous!!!" — ThatGuy 16. A set of four truly magical Rubbermaid produce savers because no one wants to bite into a mushy strawberry or make a wilted kale salad. These genius containers keep produce fresher for longer (thus saving you $$) and even feature a space-saving design to maximize the real estate in your fridge. The containers are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. They feature vents to regulate the flow of oxygen and carbon dioxide, keeping your produce fresher for longer. Promising review:"I bought my fruit on Friday and ordered this immediately because I'm so sick of throwing my fruit away if I don't eat it in a few days. It's been a WEEK now and my strawberries, pineapple, and blueberries (all in this one big container) are STILL FRESH! I'm going to start buying more fresh fruit now that I know it won't be wasted and thrown away in a few days.

I just bought two more since I lost my original one and never want to be without it." — Bita B. 19. A pack of cleaning tablets in case your dishwasher is sporting months' worth of limescale and mineral buildup, plus other gross residue you can't even see. Reviewers love this product because it cleans and deodorizes each part of the dishwasher, including internal hoses and other impossible-to-reach spots. Promising review: 'Let me tell ya, it's like a miracle in a tiny little tablet. First off, using these things couldn't be easier. You just pop one in your dishwasher, hit the start button, and boom – it goes to work, cleaning up all the gunk and grime you didn't even know was there. It's like sending your dishwasher to the spa, except without the cucumber slices. And the results? Oh man, they're mind-blowing. After using Affresh, my dishwasher looked and smelled better than it did the day I bought it. No more weird smells or funky residues – just pure, unadulterated cleanliness. But here's the best part – these things are like a six-month supply of peace of mind. With six tablets in one pack, you've got enough to keep your dishwasher running like a well-oiled machine for half a year. And trust me, that's worth its weight in gold. So, if you're tired of dealing with a gross, stinky dishwasher, do yourself a favor and get some Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner. Your dishes, and your sanity, will thank you. Five stars from this guy!' — Tom 20. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner in case you need to eliminate the sink stink from your kitchen.

In addition to cleaning your garbage disposal, they also work in drain pipes and septic systems. Amazon Promising review: ' I was skeptical at first, but after using it, my garbage disposal is clean, fresh, and odor-free. The foaming action really gets into all the nooks and crannies, removing buildup that regular rinsing just can't handle. ' — Jeremy A 21. A Souper Cubes silicone freezer mold so you can freeze that leftover soup that spent hours simmering on the stove. This kitchen must-have is also great for freezing rice, sauces, and stews, and makes meal prep a breeze — just defrost a pre-proportioned section whenever you're ready to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Promising review: 'I use my Souper Cubes for freezing various sauces, soups, and stews. Once frozen, everything pops out easily for long-term storage in freezer bags. I freeze a lot of tomato-based sauces, and so far, nothing has stained the Cubes. Very happy — no complaints.' — jyw 22. A set of four unbreakable plates perfect for cereal, pasta, salads, and more. Made of BPA-free wheat straw, these pastel plates look great on your table and are especially useful if you (or your roommates or kids) are prone to dropping things. They're also dishwasher safe. Promising review: 'They live up to the quality they promise. Hold up fine in the microwave and dishwasher, but also unbreakable and lightweight. I bought them specifically for a disabled adult to use, and they are able to feel they have mature/adult dishes rather than bouncing between cheap plastic dishes or accidentally breaking glass dishes constantly. The look and versatility make them a great purchase. I bought the cups that go along with them as well.' — Kindle Customer 23.

It's made meal prep so quick and easy! I love chopping my veggies perfectly in seconds, no more squishing tomatoes and no more dreading onions!

A bamboo sideboard that'll give you more storage space in the kitchen. Place this on your countertop or mount it on a wall, and use it to store dishes, pantry items, and more. It's got two internal shelves and a pair of sliding glass doors, making it cute and functional. Promising review: 'This cabinet is absolutely perfect for what used to be a dead space on our counter. It isn't really usable counter space for cooking, and clutter just accumulated there. I love that now everything has a home, and the space is much more defined. This is a very nice piece of furniture, as well. I love the walnut color and the sliding glass doors. I'm so glad we splurged on this. Totally worth it.' — R. Smirh 26.

My overflowing tea cabinet has never been easier to navigate.' — JJ 27. A set of 12 chip clips in assorted sizes and colors because there's nothing worse than reaching into a bag of chips and realizing they're all stale and flavorless. Pro tip: These clips can also seal bags of frozen vegetables, cereal, and more. Promising review: 'These are much neater and more secure than the chip clips I have used forever. The first batch I bought included small, medium, and large GripStics. The small and medium ones are good for bags of chocolate chips, frozen veggies, etc. I had to get more large ones for my chips and cereal and I love them. They keep food fresher longer, and my cupboard is neater. Highly recommend them!' — Susan T. Price: $23.95 (available in a variety of clip sizes) 28.

The slot size is perfect for whatever you need to toast, and it's slim, so it doesn't take up much space on the counter.

Reviewers love that you can use it for other coffee drinks too, such as espresso martinis. Promising review: ' This is literally my lifesaver. I'm a university student, and I have trouble staying up to get my work done. I HATED spending money on coffee because it was quickly adding up. Having this means I can make a fresh cup any time I want! I haven't tested hot coffee yet but the cold brew concentrate is amazing. It's very compact and doesn't take up much space at all! Just think of a super tall cup! The design is sleek and super easy to clean. Some of the best money I've spent!' — Eli Kay Price: $39.99 30. A Spicy Shelf Deluxe unit so you can finally organize that unruly spice collection of yours. This set includes two shelves that you can stack on top of each other, providing you with four layers of space. Reviewers love that you can adjust the width of the shelves to perfectly fit your pantry setup. Amazon, Promising review: 'I am very glad I picked the spicy shelf as my cabinet spice organizer. I cook a lot, so I have tons of seasonings and my cabinet had become completely full, and it was hard to find what I was looking for. I didn't want to get one of those stepping shelves because I felt like there still wouldn't be enough space. But this was exactly what I needed. I used the tall legs because the short ones weren't tall enough for me to put any seasoning jars under, but the tall legs are perfect. My cabinet is super wide, so I put the two shelves side-by-side instead of stacked. I think it looks great. AND! I still have space for more seasonings, which is great.' — Taylore Woods Price: $29.99 The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.
