We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors.

Shopping · Your friends are gonna think your home has jumped off of the cover of a magazine. 1. An absorbent floral dish drying mat to protect your precious counter from any pesky stains in the cutest way possible. Not only is it super adorable, but it'll soak up those milk splatters that the wayward frother left behind in its wake. The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can simply rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding. Promising reviews:"I like that I can wipe this mat with a wet cloth. It's water resistant, durable, and pretty!" — Miss Dee "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." — Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles). 2. Itty-bitty, collapsible storage crates you can slip into drawers or stack inside your pantry to hold your collection of Taco Bell hot sauce packets. These pastel colors are soooo much cuter than any other plain old grey or white organizational bins you currently have. Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" — Dog_Mom Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and six colors). 3. A miniature mid-century LED fireplace for anyone who wants to add a bit of ~personality~ to their home, but in an affordable way.

Anthropologie Promising review:"The fabric is of excellent quality, and the colors are vibrant and so pretty!" — Linseyannb Get it from Anthropologie for $78. 6. A charming waterproof shelf liner because you're tired of having to reach and scrub out those creamer spills and mystery stains from your fridge every other week.

Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 11 patterns). 7.

Merriton is a small business that sells rolls of scented liners for dressers and linen closets. Promising reviews:"I am very pleased with these scented drawer liners! They are perfect for my bedroom chest of drawers. The paper is heavy, and the scent is wonderful. I love it! I may buy them as gifts." — Ela "This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." — Trillium Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns). 8. A pretty tea cup set because your perfectly crafted latte deserves to rest prettily on a cloud. This is so dreamy that you're gonna end up buying one in every color. Reviewers are split on the size — the opening measures 3.2 inches wide, and it can hold drinks up to 6.5 ounces. Promising review: "I bought this completely on a whim, and it was totally worth it. Adorable cup, a lot bigger than I expected it to be! I haven't put anything in it yet, so I can't say whether or not it stains, but it's still very cute regardless." — AEL Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in five colors and in packs of four). 9.

And very, VERY cute bow-shaped brass knobs if you're firmly in your "I'm just a girl 💅" era. Frankly, these are almost too pretty. Get a closer look at them in this TikTok! Promising review: "These brass bow knobs are so beautiful and work perfectly with the dresser that I bought for my baby girl's nursery! I was worried that they would be too small or that the quality would be lacking, so I paid three times the price for a set of backup knobs from Crate & Kids that I will now be returning. I'm just a dummy and ordered only six knobs when I actually needed 12. Good thing the seller offers free one-day shipping! Once all the knobs are changed out, the dresser will truly look Pinterest-worthy! :)" — WAR Get the set of six from Amazon for $29.99 (available in two colors and also a set of eight). 11. A velvet ottoman so you can keep all of your fave blankets on hand for those movie nights but out of sight so your mother doesn't start trying to pick up after you when she comes to visit. Promising review: "Omg! I love this ottoman; it is beautiful. It's the perfect match for my sofa and chair.

I couldn't be happier." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $81.40+ (available in 16 styles). 12.

A flower-shaped dish brush so adorable you'll basically feel like a Disney princess as you clean the kitchen. You'll happily whistle and sing while you scrub, scrub, scrub-a-dub-dub away. Yeah, it even comes with the vase-shaped holder! Check out a TikTok of the flower scrubber in action. Promising review: "Love having this on my kitchen sink. I t's happy and cute and makes me happy. One leaf did twist off after a few weeks of use, but it's still cute, and I could've been more careful holding it. It's not a super stiff brush, but it works well for most hand washing and quick rinses. Brush rinses well, and food doesn't get caught in it. I was happy to find it has a hidden scraper edge on top of the brush. Will def buy again when this one gets gross since it brings so much tiny joy into my kitchen." — Hannah Jo Wilson Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 14. A decorative tray because even your discount jewelry deserves to be displayed on a tray worthy of royalty. Fancy, meet downright adorable. Reviewers say to pay attention to the measurements, because it's smaller than they assumed! Promising review: "Charming and elegant. This looks so expensive. I gave it to my mother for her birthday, and she was quite impressed. She uses it as a place to put her rings when she is doing things in the kitchen. It's the perfect size, and she was very impressed. I didn't want to tell her how inexpensive it was, but isn't that what you want in a gift? A big bang for your buck?" — NMW Get it from Amazon for $9.69+ (available in five colors). 15. A foldable sleeper chair perfect for maximizing your space and making your room as cozy as could possibly be. Since you can't sleep on an actual cloud, you may as well lounge on the next best thing. ☁️ Promising review: "This is such a comfortable chair or bed! I was very happy with my purchase. You won't go wrong if you are looking for comfort or if you need to save space. I highly recommend this." — danny Get it from Amazon for $119.99+ (available in two sizes and seven colors). 16. A set of purrrr -fect chair socks to protect your furniture legs and wooden floors from scratches (ironic, I know). Just slip 'em onto the legs, and you'll basically fall in love with how paw-istively cute they are. Plus, when they get dirty, you can simply toss them into the wash! Amazon These are big enough for tables and chairs with a foot circumference of 7–17 cm. Promising review: "I love these so much, I bought a second set. They're so easy to put on, and they actually STAY. They look like little paws!!" — sam Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $16.59. 17. A darling strawberry vase that is sure to sweeten your decor as you fill it with anything from plants to pens. Amazon Promising review: "Smaller than expected, but I love it for making cute, bright, happy arrangements. Looks great with daisies of all sorts." — dayna haley Get it from Amazon for $26.95. 18. A fruit tart bed because the only thing more delicious than this bed is the kitty that'll snuggle into it! Is it a cat bed or decor??? Honestly, why not both? Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed Take it from BuzzFeed Shopping writer Mallory Mower:"Not only does my cat sleep in this every day, but she also loves playing fetch with the lightweight fruit. I often find her rolling the blueberries around the apartment. I dig having a pet bed that doubles as daily entertainment." Promising review: "The cats love it! They birdwatch in it until they fall asleep. They also play with the stuffed fruit, which I didn't think they would. Both seem to enjoy it, and they fight over it at times. I bought the large. Very happy with this purchase! My cats are picky, and most things I buy turn out to be a waste, not this one!" — A Hutch Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (also available in banana or toast shapes). 19. A mini ceramic bathtub to organize your bathroom countertops in the cutest way possible — use it as a soup display (and yes, it drains!) a Q-tip holder, or even as a planter! Promising review:"I ordered two of these. One I used as a regular soap dish in my tub. It has holes for drainage, which is a plus. I also used it as a cute plant decanter. I placed some succulents in it, and voila... the cutest planter for my bathroom." — Diane Sheehan Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six colors). 20. A paw-shaped chair cushion purrrrfect for anyone who's ever wanted to snuggle within a kitty's paw. Can you even imagine anything comfier than that? Amazon, Promising review:"I freaking LOVE this paw cushion! This paw cushion absolutely saves my butt. It's not super thick or as filled as you might hope. But I read reviews and was prepared for that. A little extra padding would be great, but even without it, this cushion is soft and comfy! It's still worth every dime. It's perfect if you have one of those hanging indoor/outdoor rope chairs, too! This cushion is soft, cute, and comfortable. Buy yourself this thing. You deserve it." — mandarabbit Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 21. A decorative seashell pillow that gives total "cutesy Florida beach house" vibes. You may not have an ocean-view bedroom, but these pillows will certainly make you feel like you do. 🌊 Amazon Promising review:" This thing is so soft and so pretty, and the color is so rich! I thought I'd be throwing it off the bed like, well, a throw pillow (I just got why they're called that), but I end up essentially snuggling it like a stuffed animal because it's so comfortable. It adds the right amount of '60s/'70s campy hotel kitsch to my room." — Ashley Diamond Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 22. A cherry toilet brush for anyone who wants to add a bit of ~whimsy~ to their bathroom decor. Most people add a maraschino cherry to their cocktail — you, however? You will use it to add a tropical flair to the latrine. Check out a TikTok of the cherry toilet brush in action. Promising review: "This toilet brush makes me want to clean my toilet. It is so cute, exactly what I wanted, and works perfectly!! Fits nicely into my bathroom decor. It was delivered in perfect condition and I've used it three times now. If you're thinking about buying it!" — Michelle Maroon Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 23. A color-coded Cuisinart knife set because wiping down your blade every time you switch tasks to avoid cross-contamination is a hassle too strenuous for your dinner routine. Why settle for silver-colored knives that are totally plain and boring when you can have a rainbow of blades zhuzhing up your kitchen aesthetic?! It includes a chef's knife, paring knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, and santoku knife. Psst — the knives don't come with this holder, but you can snag an easy-to-install magnetic bar for knives on Amazon if you want to display them, as this reviewer did! Promising review:"This is my best buy of the month and best knife buy of the year. Yeah, I've had sharper, better-quality knives in the past, but for hundreds of dollars more. For basic kitchen use, this is the set to buy. I like that they're colorful because I've already been able to familiarize myself with which knife is which color and what I need to use them for. The blade cases they come with are extremely handy. I like that I don't have to use a knife block. These fit nicely in my drawer. At this price, they are worth every penny. I wouldn't have a problem spending $40–$50 for these knives." — GWP Get a set of six knives with covers from Amazon for $20.32. 24. A vibrant duvet cover set to bring some ooh la la to your bedding and give your room an instant facelift. Why spend $150+ on a Pottery Barn set when reviewers claim this one is even better??? Amazon Promising review:"I usually buy bedding from Pottery Barn because of the excellent quality. I did, however, fall in love with this pattern and decided to take a chance for the value, especially since the inside of the duvet cover comes with loops to attach to the comforter. The duvet set arrived in one day and was nicely packaged. The quality is excellent, and the pattern is beyond my expectations. This is better than Pottery Barn!" — LA Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in five sizes and 43 patterns). 25. Or a gingham or pom-pom duvet set that will bring a bit of pastel prettiness to your bedroom. Hellooooo, spring!!!! 🌸🌷🌼 Amazon The set comes with a cover and two pillowcases. Grab an affordable comforter here. Promising review: "I chose this duvet cover for my daughter's room because she wanted a lighter color comforter, but our dogs sleep in her bed, so I wanted to be able to wash it easily. The pom-poms are small but a cute addition. The duvet cover is on the thinner side and soft. It has a zipper and four corner ties. Happy with this purchase and the price." — Kim Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available sizes twin–king and eight styles). 26. A set of rainbow wineglasses to ~spring~ some merriment to your sit-back-and-sip-rosé nights. They're so cute; they're basically a piece of decor when you're not actually using them. Your book club members are gonna start hounding you for the link to these. Amazon The Wine Savant is a New York-based small business established in 2017 that specializes in unique, quality drinkware and accessories. Promising review: "Love these! Wasn't ready to splurge on Estelle stemmed glasses so I got these instead. I've run them through the dishwasher once so far, and they held up fine. Glass is thin near the top, which I love in a wineglass. I would recommend!" — Tricia Get a set of six from Amazon for $49.95. 27. Cottagecore linen curtains you can hang on your open cabinets, above your kitchen sink, small windows, or just about anywhere else that'll make you feel like Snow White baking a scrumptious apple pie. 🥧 Promising review: "These pleated short curtains are the perfect touch for my kitchen! They add just the right amount of charm and elegance while letting in natural light. The pleats give them a polished, tailored look, and the quality of the fabric is fantastic — lightweight yet durable." — Liza Get two panels from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in eight sizes and 10 colors). 28. A Lego cherry blossom kit to get that "I'm totally in Japan" feel right from the comfort of your dining room table. With 430 pieces, you can customize your own cherry blossoms to your specifications and aesthetics and have fun coming up with different creations. Who doesn't love a self-sufficient plant you don't have to worry about watering? Promising review: "Great afternoon activity. All of the flower Lego sets are great for a break and getting your mind off things. We have several different flower ones in a vase, and they all seem to fit nicely together." — Jeremy Moeller Get it from Amazon for $10.19. 29. And because you need somewhere to put your Lego creation: a vase shaped like a stack of dice you'll absolutely fall in love with the moment it ~rolls~ onto your coffee table. Amazon, Promising review: "Super cute iridescent dice vase! it was smaller than I expected, but it holds these two Lego flower stems. It's good quality for the price and super fun!" — Sarah Coleman Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in five other styles). 30. A fanciful mushroom kitchen timer to add a bit of ~whimsy~ to your baking routine. This is much cuter than using your phone to keep track of time when plopping things in the oven. This winds up and times up to 60 minutes, ending in a loud buzzer. Reviewers also use it to help time themselves with work tasks and studying. Promising review: "This is whimsical and fun; my kids love it. I tell them their dinner comes from a fairy mushroom forest. 😋 Works great, keeps my little monsters in line — 'Dad, the mushroom went off.' Love it." — Vik V Get it from Amazon for $8.55 (available in four colors). 31. A gorgeous linen-scented reed diffuser because those plug-in-the-wall scent diffusers ruin your whole home aesthetic — so why not get something pretty and amazingly scented? Plus, it comes with real preserved baby's breath (so freakin' gorgeous) and eight pure cotton sticks so you can adjust precisely how much aroma is released. Promising review: "I love the aesthetic of it and the smell is amazing! I bought two more as soon as I saw how nice this was. The quality feels so expensive and luxurious that it just had me in a chokehold, and I definitely love the look." — Isabell Thao Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four styles and 26 scents). 32. An ultra-soft faux-fur rug that Frasier himself would wish he had to transform his father's, say, "rugged" couch into a throne worth sitting upon. The greatest part of it all is that it doesn't shed, so you don't need to worry about white fuzz getting everywhere. Promising review:"My parents went to Europe and sat outside on furs like these, and now they do the same at home. They live in the mountains in Utah. They put these on their metal patio chairs and then cover themselves with a blanket outside in the winter. The faux furs keep your backside insulated, and then, topped with the blanket, they are able to have cocktail hour(s) on the deck all year long! It's honestly pretty sweet, and the dog gets her own to lie on when she's outside, too." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in six sizes and 11 colors). 33. Peel-and-stick vinyl subway tile because have you seen the prices of professional-grade backsplashes lately?!?!?! You're gonna wanna avoid those contractor fees by getting this super easy, customized backsplash you can simply stick onto the wall yourself for a quick kitchen facelift. These renter-friendly beauties are fully removable, btw! You'll just need to heat with a hair dryer to unstick the adhesive. For the full install, reviewers recommend: a level, sanding block and sandpaper, measuring tape, ruler, screwdriver to remove outlets, and utility knife or scissors. Promising review: " These are great and easy to install. You have to cut the first section. I did put them on a textured wall and have no issues with them peeling off. I made a mistake and had to pull some of them off and they came off with no problem. They are sticky, so I did have to pull a little bit; no damage to the paint or the wall, though. You will need a VERY sharp knife and a pair of scissors. I used a metal carpenter's square as a straight edge, and it worked nicely. Nice upgrade to my little kitchen. I needed about 30 tiles, and I had to buy 40 for cuts and mistakes. You can't reuse the sheet if you pull it off. I found that if you have to cut the tiles, make sure you have the 'grout' on the cut; it makes it easier to align and hides small mistakes." — Tricia Hendrickson Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in four colors, and in dozens more designs and colors on their store page). 34. A set of cute velvet shams that feel so soft you'll want to burrow yourself in them all throughout your cozy night at home. They're also super easy to swap out when you inevitably get the itch to redecorate your room (for the seventh time this year). Amazon Also, if you can't find an exact measurement match for your throw pillows, you can go down a couple of inches. The pillows will look overstuffed, like you spent a couple of hundos on them. Promising review:"It's easy to see why these affordable yet high-quality throw pillow covers are a best seller. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, and they seem durable and well-made. What a simple and inexpensive way to change up your decor!" — Erika V. Get the two-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 41 colors and nine sizes). 35. Or a set of cozy faux-fur throw pillow covers so freakin' fluffy, you'll be convinced you're cuddling up with a cloud of marshmallows. Fancy and under $20?? You'll be adding them to cart ASAP. Amazon These are pillow covers — not inserts. If you need an insert, you can get 'em from Amazon starting at $9.49. Promising review: "I bought these to put on my bed, and I absolutely love, love, love them! One side has a super fluffy and soft side, and the back is surprisingly soft; it's almost like a suede feel. Be sure you have fully stuffed pillows!" — Rah Rah Get a set of two from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six sizes and 18 colors). 36. A Baroque mirror your friends won't believe you didn't spend plenty of $$$$ on at some high-end antique store. And is it just me, or does it pretty much look exactly like the $500+ Anthropologie Primrose mirror?! 👀 Promising review:"This mirror is gorgeous and very well-made. It feels heavier than I expected, so I used a 3M Claw to hang it, and it's definitely secure. Looks exactly like the picture. I wanted the Anthropologie Primrose mirror but couldn't stomach the price tag, even with deep discounts from their home outlet pop-up. This is an excellent [alternative], so definitely worth it." — Jillian Coneys "I was looking for an inexpensive [version] of *the* Anthropologie mirror for my mantle. Did lots of searching and review reading, and this seemed like the best bang for your buck. It's so nice! It's heavy and sturdy (not chintzy) and looks great in my living room. The flourish on top is tasteful, and the antique gold color really does make it look vintage." — Eliza Get it from Amazon for $85.99+ (available in 10 sizes and five finishes). 37. A ceramic essential-oil diffuser so pretty, you'll seriously think it's the expensive Vitruvi one. It's sleek, elegant, and perfect for releasing that jasmine oil you absolutely adore. Amazon According to Johns Hopkins, you may want to avoid diffusing oils around larger groups and young children because of the side effects of different oils. You may also want to avoid using an oil diffuser around pets with breathing problems, according to the ASPCA. Promising reviews:"I was looking at getting the Vitruvi diffuser but stumbled across this. I'm so happy I did! This is incredible quality for half the price!" — Amazon Customer "I like everything about this diffuser. It is pretty to look at, has a ceramic top, works well (I can actually see the vapor across the room), and you can smell the oil even in a large room. I am happy I found this diffuser." — jenny r Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in four colors). 38. A made-in-Italy diamond-cut decanter so you can feel like you belong in a fancy private library as you sip that $8 bottle of whiskey (don't worry, your drink will look much more expensive than it really is). Amazon This glassware is made in Italy! Promising review:"I purchased this for my brother as a Christmas gift last year. The package arrived in perfect condition, with its contents safely intact. After pouring our first glass of whiskey from this decanter, we immediately felt more sophisticated and used words like 'indubitably,' 'transcendent,' and 'ergo.' Indeed, drinking from this decanter will make even Canadian LTD taste piquant." — Justin Pickens Get it from Amazon for $17.10 (available in five styles).

33 Superbly Spring-y Pieces Of Home Decor
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Mushrooms, florals, pastels, and more that'll spruce up your home aesthetic this spring. 1. An absorbent floral dish drying mat, which functions as a solo drying mat for your clean dishes or to soak up all the water underneath your standing dish rack. Either way, this patterned absorbent mat will look exceptionally spring-inspired. Some reviewers use it to elevate the look of their coffee bar or pet's food and water bowl areas, too! Because it's made of PU leather, you can easily rinse or wipe it for cleaning! It's also designed with an anti-skid rubber backing to keep it from sliding around during use. Promising reviews:"I like that I can wipe this mat with a wet cloth. It's water resistant, durable, and pretty!" — Miss Dee "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." — Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles). 2. Some miniature collapsible storage crates to add some pastel hues to your living space, while storing your crafting supplies, cleaning products, and (like the reviewer below) even your much-needed collection of takeout sauces! Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" — Dog_Mom Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes and seven colors). 3. A tufted area rug designed to resemble a mossy meadow dappled with daisies, transforming your bathroom or bedroom into a spring-ified oasis. It boasts a non-slip backing to help it stay in place and a machine-washable, non-shedding microfiber fabric for easy cleaning! Promising reviews: " I've had this rug for about eight months and it's held up through two washes and a lot of vacuuming. Yikes, maybe I need to wash it more often, but it's in a low traffic area for the most part. It's still really pretty! I still love it! It had a couple of stray threads come off of it but [not a lot]." — Bea "I bought this rug to add a Ghibli-inspired touch to my kitchen, and it fits perfectly with my cozy, nature-filled aesthetic. The green floral pattern gives off a serene, earthy vibe that reminds me of the tranquil landscapes in Studio Ghibli films. The rug is extra long, making it a great fit for my kitchen, and the non-slip backing keeps it in place. Perfect for anyone looking to bring a little Ghibli magic into their home!" — Connor Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two shapes and seven sizes). 4. A charming cut-to-size daisy print waterproof shelf liner if you want to make your kitchen shelving and fridge interior a little more ✨ aesthetic. ✨ It might not always feel like spring outside, but you can enjoy delightful year-round blooms every time you're in the mood for a snack! Amazon Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" — Karen Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 18 styles). 5. Plus, a roll of scented liners that'll make your linens and clothing smell wonderful while stored away and deliver a fresh burst of florals each time you open a drawer! Merriton is a woman-owned small business. Promising review:"This is a traditional scented drawer liner paper — the kind people used for decades before modern adhesive (plastic) papers — and it's beautiful. I purchased the royal bloom scent, and it smells like fresh pears. The paper comes in a tight roll, and I suggest reverse rolling or laying it flat and weighing it down for a night before installing it. I very much prefer non-adhesive paper like this because it is easy to install and replace, but also because it is old-school elegance." — Trillium Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three patterns). 6. A set of ceramic apple knobs because swapping out furniture hardware is ridiculously easy and allows you to elevate your kitchen cabinets or desk drawers in minutes!

Promising review: "These brass bow knobs are so beautiful and work perfectly with the dresser that I bought for my baby girl's nursery! I was worried that they would be too small or that the quality would be lacking, so I paid three times the price for a set of backup knobs from Crate & Kids that I will now be returning. I'm just a dummy and ordered only six knobs when I actually needed 12. Good thing the seller offers free one-day shipping! Once all the knobs are changed out, the dresser will truly look Pinterest-worthy! :)" — WAR Get the set of six from Amazon for $27.54 (available in two colors and also a set of eight). 8.

A decorative seashell pillow if your springtime aesthetic leans less towards florals and more towards colorful, retro vibes. So what if you don't live in a beach house? These adorable pillows will at least make it feel like your truth! Amazon Promising review:" This thing is so soft and so pretty, and the color is so rich! I thought I'd be throwing it off the bed like, well, a throw pillow (I just got why they're called that), but I end up essentially snuggling it like a stuffed animal because it's so comfortable. It adds the right amount of '60s/'70s campy hotel kitsch to my room." — Ashley Diamond Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 24. A hanging ladder pot and plant rack, which will become the statement piece of your dreams for how effortlessly it shows off your indoor greenery or brightly colored cookware. And the best part?

34 Products To Tidy Your Kitchen With While Singing Along To Hilary Duff's 'Come Clean'
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Turn up the tunes and let's get that kitchen of yours into better shape. 1. Washable microfiber mop pads you can use with your Swiffer WetJet. Stop spending so much on disposable options and put your hard-earned dollars to good use (aka buying yourself overpriced coffee as a treat for cleaning). One pad can last up to 100 washes and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone. Turbo Mops is a small business! Promising review:"These are life changing. I used a Rubbermaid spray mop for years that I never really loved and when it broke I got a Swiffer and was using the old Rubbermaid mop cloth pads with it still. They didn't fit the Swiffer great and I decided to get new ones. These scrub so much better and pick up way more dirt than my other mop pad. I have two dogs and their dried water and drool is around the kitchen and I used to have to scrub to get that up each time. Not with these pads! I never thought I'd swoon over a cleaning product we are :)." — JB Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.75. 2. Or a flat head mop and wringer set that might just make you a bit more excited to deep clean your floors — the flat style will help you get into every crevice and corner (amazing), the bucket's edges are deisgn to trap hair and grime as you clean (lovely) and the mop head is machine washable. (What more could you want?!) Promising review: "LOVE this MOP!!!!!! I have been through so many mops in the past five years and this one beats them all! Very compact, easy to use, easy to carry, and my favorite part cost effective! It comes with washable/replaceable heads that trap and clean to a T! I was not expecting this to be a 5-star but it is. I would recommend this to any one that has steps, kids, pets, its a game changer." — erica707 Get it from Amazon for $37.98. 3. A super absorbent floral dish drying mat to bring pretty vibes into your kitchen and to your least favorite chore. It's a must-buy for anyone who hasn't quite figured out how they want to set their kitchen up just yet but, nonetheless, need somewhere to dry their cups, bowls, and plates. The top layer is made of absorbent PU leather, so you can easily rinse or wipe it clean! It also has an anti-skid rubber backing to prevent sliding. Promising review: "I was a little concerned about how things would dry on this mat since it isn't fabric, but everything seems to dry really well – and it is just so pretty a thing to have on my counter! Can't beat the price either." — Nana M. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors/styles). 4. A Dawn Platinum Powerwash dish spray that would be worthy of taking up one of your three Genie wishes — it comes in various delectable scents and works wonders on caked-on food and grease. All you have to do is spritz, let it sit, then rinse it off! Reviewers are obsessed with it — it has over 89,000 5-star reviews. (WOW!!!) I use this stuff constantly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes cleaning burnt bits and pieces much easier. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! I recently swapped from the "fresh" scent to the "apple" one, and wow, it smells delicious. It also works great for removing stains on clothes (I've seen it remove coffee from a white tee with my very own eyes). Promising review:"This makes it so easy to keep my sink clear of dishes. I use it constantly throughout the day. Every time I use a dish, I give it a quick spray, wash it, rinse it, and put it in a dish drainer. It is wonderful. I wish it was a little cheaper as I'm constantly using it; other than that, I love it." — Linda W. Get a pack of four Amazon for $16.88 (available in four scents). 5. Shelf liner that'll provide a nonslip padding inside your cabinets, closets, and drawers so your belongings can be safely stowed away — you'll feel like a true adult bragging about this lil' home improvement project. Amazon You can cut these for a perfect fit, so no worries about the exact sizing. It's also machine washable, so any crumbs or stains can be easily removed. Promising review:"I have recently moved into an apartment with some pretty gross cupboards, drawers, and kitchen shelves that I can do almost nothing about. I didn't want to put down adhesive shelf liner and traditional mesh type cushioning shelf liner doesn't really protect my dishes from touching the ancient stained wood. This stuff is a great solution for me. It's a nice thick padding that's textured on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. The top is slick and smooth and easy to clean. I don't really bother to trim this stuff, instead I place it in the cupboard and let the excess bend up around the edges creating a little bumper around the edge of the cabinet. Makes me feel so much better about my kitchen and the bright white look says 'clean' in a place that desperately needs something to say 'clean.' I've used a couple of different types of this style of liner in this kitchen and this brand is by far my favorite. Go ahead and buy the larger rolls. Ten feet seems like a lot of material until you're filling cupboards and drawers you'll use more than you think." — Taylor Whitney Get it from Amazon for $7.89+ (available in three sizes). 6. A pack of oven liners to protect the bottom of the oven you just worked up a sweat scrubbing clean — no need to worry about ooey gooey overflowing cheese or saucy splatters ruining the progress you've just made! Amazon FitFabHome is a small business! Promising review:"These liners are life-changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Clean up is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." — Kindle Custommer Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99. 7. A SinkShroom strainer you won't know how you lived without because it'll keep your kitchen sink unclogged no matter how much gunk you fill it with. You can even toss it directly into the dishwasher for a deep clean — looooove that. I bought this for myself and OMG. This thing REALLY works. Usually when my husband makes sauce from scratch I'm left with chunks of tomatoes throughout my sink and water that WILL NOT drain — that was until I bought the SinkShroom (which comes from a small business!). My mom was so impressed she bought one, too. It's a serious game-changer. Promising review:"I've been a fan of the SinkShroom and TubShroom, and this is the best product from the line so far. My kitchen sinks simply do not clog any more, so there's no more reaching into a bunch of water to unclog anything with my hand." — Brady Amerson Get it from Amazon for $9.98. 8. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner to save your butt the next time you heat sauce and it explodes all over (oops). Fill her with vinegar and water and watch as she blows hot steam into your microwave oven to loosen up all the old food and stains. Wipe it clean and move on with your life! Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 9. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a miniature tool you'll pat yourself on the back for buying when you're elbows deep in soapy dishes and discover the water is *not* draining. Please note how hard I'm trying not to make a Super Mario Bros. plumbing joke right now. Promising review:"Y'all, this thing is amazing! My kitchen sink was completely clogged for four days. I've been trying to clear the drain with a different sink plunger that I already had and it didn't do diddly squat. I was about to give up and call a plumber. Then I decided to order this one and it just arrived… it completely cleared the drain in like three minutes. So then I decided to take it to the bathroom sink that had been draining extremely slow and within a minute, I had the water running so quick and smooth again. I got the small one and it's the perfect size for kitchen and bathroom sinks." — JNeen Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 10. Reliable Command hooks because no one has the time to drill into walls and hit nails (or at least I don't). Use 'em to show off your cute measuring cup collection, or get them out of harm's way when you actually try to cook. Promising review: I bought these for hanging utensils and KitchenAid beaters on the inside of my kitchen cabinets. They worked well. I just put them on the inside wall of the cabinet for cup hooks. So far so good. Thanks for helping me organize my kitchen!" — Memere5 Get a 16-pack from Amazon for $11.31. 11. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. It'll help you revive your pots and pans, kitchen sink, stove top, etc. After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning. Promising review:"I'm very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it's super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven't tried it on rust yet so we'll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 12. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean. Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual! Promising review: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" — Old Southern Charm Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 13. A box of dye- and chlorine-free dishwasher detergent pods for anyone who forever feels like they're running their dishwasher only to find residue left over on their dishes — this will help you tackle your ever-growing mountain of dirty dishes sans elbow grease. They're made with mineral-based ingredients, are cruelty-free, and come in compostable packaging! Based in the Philadelphia area, Dropps is a mother-and-son-founded small business focused on making sustainable, eco-friendly, and low-waste kitchen and laundry cleaning products. Promising review:"I wasn't expecting much when I bought these. I thought for sure it was another environmentally safe product that would only do half the job. But they are amazing and get the dishes clean with no residue. Well worth the money and so convenient. I will be using these from now on." — TamiP Get a pack of 32 from Amazon for $12.38+ (available in unscented, lemon, or fresh rain, as well as packs of 64 and 120). 14. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush, for when you want to give your grout an all-inclusive spa treatment and bring it back to its squeaky-clean glory. Promising review: "My family loves this product. I get so many fewer complaints from the kids about cleaning the bathtub, showers, and sinks because they don't have to touch it. I can also count on them to do a good job because it's easy to use. All they have to do is spray the area, turn it on, and rub it around. It scrubs and takes care of all the grime and hard water buildup. The versatility is great. We use it in the kitchen and the bathroom. The brushes are easy to wash and disinfect, and they come with extra scrubbing pads. The handle has a good grip. This is a quality product with great battery life. I absolutely recommend it." — Chelsea Green Get it from Amazon for $22.21. To learn why my BuzzFeed Shopping colleague loves this, check out our full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review. 15. And a bottle of grout cleaner to help you restore your tile floor and leave 'em looking like they were just installed. Feel free to enthusiastically yell "YOU COULD EAT OFF OF THESE FLOORS!" after the job is done. Promising review:"We moved into our house a year ago and I've been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. As a last resort I got this and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." — Britney Phillips Get it from Amazon for $21.95. 16. A silverware organizer, so when you're quickly grabbing a fork and knife for dinner you'll be hit with a delightful bit of color — why shouldn't your decor continue to live inside your drawers?! Promising review:"I needed a small silverware organizer, and I am pleased with the size, the color. What I really like, which was unexpected, is that the underside is 'grippy' so the organizer stays put and doesn't slide towards the back, which is perfect!" — wenjmen Get it from Amazon for $12.88+ (available in 14 styles). 17. A 10-foot roll of spice strips for anyone whose kitchen is lacking in the cabinet department but has a bountiful amount of drawers — the roll will help ya fit over 30 full-size spice bottles! Amazon Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! The fact that they're so customizable allows you to cut them and shape them to any drawer size! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for sure buy!" — momonono Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors). 18. Or a two-tier turntable you can use to elevate your cabinet storage situation — pop it into a cabinet and use it to stash an array of items like spices, baking necessities, kids' food pouches, cups, whatever! Promising review:"I purchased two, one to store baby essentials and one to store medications. It is quite big, but I knew that when purchasing. It doesn't fit in my standard cabinets, but I use it in my corner cabinet (it's deeper) with no issues. Assembly is easy. The parts just click together. I like the gripped surface. Helps keep items in place while spinning." — Luman22 Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors). 19. A brilliantly designed snack bag organizer and plastic, wax paper, and foil organizer to whip your kitchen drawers into tip-top shape *and* help you keep track of when you need to buy more of each item. Don't have an available drawer? You can use it directly on your counter! SpaceAid is a small business! Promising review (for bag organizer):"This looks amazing, has saved space in my drawer, and keeps everything neat and organized. I love the sliding top. It stays secure." — Annon66 Promising review (for plastic wrap organizer): "What did I dislike about it?....... NOTHING!!! The wife and I love this, No more fighting with the flimsy box the products come in. Just insert the new product roll and you are ready to go!" — lee carlson Get them from Amazon: the snack bag organizer for $23.78+ (available in two sizes and four colors), and the plastic wrap organizer for $22.98+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 20. A 100 percent natural oven scrub you can rely on to finally remove any grease or leftover sauces from inside your most used appliance faster than you can sing all the lyrics to "Greased Lightnin'" while gyrating around your kitchen like John Travolta. It also comes with a metallic scrubber! Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products. Promising review: " When we leased our house, it very obviously had NEVER been cleaned by the previous tenants. The oven was a big problem and not up to my standards. I didn't want to use a chemical or anything that would harm us or the pets, and this was PERFECT. Only took about an hour and a half to clean probably 10 years' worth of grime from the lil' nasties who lived here before us!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in 14 styles). 21. A bag of FryAway cooking oil solidifier — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes. FryAway is a US-based small business specializing in planet-friendly cooking waste solutions. Promising review: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I loved after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." — Roberta Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 22. Refillable dish and hand soap dispensers featuring a stunning diamond-glass design you can count on to truly dazzle when the sunlight shines through your kitchen window. Gladpure is a small business! Promising review:"Trying to cut down on the amount of plastic I use. These function well and, with the cut glass, they look beautiful with cheap soap. I use one in the kitchen for dish soap and one in the bathroom for hand soap." — marcusv Get a set of two from Amazon for $13.99. 23. A surprisingly chic K-Cup storage drawer starring not one, not two, but THREE dividers so you can arrange your coffee pods until the cows come home (and hopefully bring you milk to pour into said coffee). Each of these holds up to 36 standard-sized K-Cups. Promising review:"I am so glad I got this. It makes for such great streamlined storage. Keeps things tidy and neat, and also helps me keep track of how many cups I have left to determine whether or not I need to add to my grocery list. It is very sturdy and I fit my machine on top. The top is very durable, hard plastic and does not buckle with the weight of the machine filled with water on top." — tunisianswife Get it from Amazon for $20.67+ (available in four colors and in two sizes). 24. And a coffee syrup dispenser set complete with premade flavor labels to help you transform that little space next to your coffee machine into one worthy of a full-on cafe. New England Stories is a small business that specializes in home and kitchen products. Promising review: "These are worth the money! There are labels for almost every basic syrup as well as blanks so you can label them yourself. If you get a regular size Torani syrup bottle it will hold the whole bottle, so you don't need to worry about story a quarter of the bottle of syrup. SO AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, TOO." — Naomi Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (for four; available in three colors and in two- and six-packs). 25. A 33-piece set of silicone-coated kitchen utensils in a chic, neutral color that'll match everything you already own. You'll feel so much better swapping out all of your mismatched tools for a more pared-down version filled with coordinated tools you'll actually reach for every day. Amazon Can withstand temperatures of -40 degrees F up to 446 degrees F/230 degrees C. Includes 24 tools and holder. Promising review:"I love everything matching. Finally got rid of all my mix-match stuff! However, they are SO many items it was too much to fit in my drawer so I put the things I use the most in the drawer and kept the rest in the holder and store them with my pots and pans. The holder is plastic and cheap so this would not be something I'd leave on the counter. The are super sturdy and sharp looking. AND, they didn't get dirty, black or burnt when scraping up charred food in a frying pan. Cleaned right off of the spatula. Very pleased." — Bonnie Pfiester Get them from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in eight color combos). 26. A garbage-disposal foaming cleaner to scrub away the stinky grime that builds up on the blades and in the pipes. Definitely add this to your cart if you've never lived with one of these babies before and are likely to get overexcited and dump EVERYTHING and ANYTHING down there. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (also available in larger packs). 27. A Scrub Daddy sponge that'll stay firm in cold water (good for stuck-on grime) and soft in warm water for easy-to-clean items — it won't scratch your surfaces and can be popped into the top rack of the dishwasher for cleaning. No wonder why they're permanently smiling. Promising review: "I hesitated about using this on pots and pans. My sister came to visit and educated me. Will not scratch and can be used on any and everything! Dishwasher safe, lemon scent, and just awesome! Note: You can attached the caddy holder to different surfaces. I prefer the ceramic backsplash to free up more sink space." — Pamela C. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99. Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here. 28. A cutting board and strainer combo, because who wouldn't appreciate a two-in-one item that'll save 'em room in their kitchen? Now would be the perfect time to jump up and down a la Step Brothers and squeal "THERE'S SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES." Amazon Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I have purchased for our tiny apartment! It's a pretty good size cutting board and I can see it fitting over most sinks. I LOVE the bowl inside that can let wet ingredients drain liquid directly into the sink. It's seriously SO nice to have this when you're limited on counter space!" — Atara Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors). 29. Or a collapsible cutting board and cutlery set that'll provide you with everything you need to wash, cut, and store your ingredients without adding any extra mess to your kitchen. If I had a crystal ball I bet I would see a very intricate, delicious salad in your near future 🔮. Promising review: "This knife and cutting board set is fantastic. We typically wash our fruit in a big bowl and then cut them on a cutting board, and this product combines both into one. It's surprisingly pretty spacious. We've had no issues just pouring in a bunch of fruit or vegetables, unplugging the drain, and rinsing them out. Then we collapse it and cut it right there. It couldn't be easier, and the convenience makes this product worth every penny. Another great part is that it doesn't take up much space in our cupboards since it collapses. My wife and I are always getting random gadgets for our kitchen, so we run out of space pretty often, so it's always appreciated when something has a small-ish footprint." — Hamish Get it from BuzzFeed's Tasty collection on Amazon for $17.99. 30. A bamboo burner cover that'll make you feel like you've waved a magic wand and, POOF! added extra counter space to your kitchen. If you've just invested in a fixer-upper that doesn't have your dream cooking space just yet, this will fill the void until your renovation. BambooMN is a small business! BuzzFeeder Jennifer Tonti credits this burner cover for helping her cook with ease: "OK so I bought this for my own tiny apartment and OMG you guys. Life = changed. Food = chopped. Counter space = doubled. I mean the math is all there." Promising review:"This is so perfect for extra space. It covers the top of my apartment-sized stove so I can then use my stove space for my Instant Pot and food prep. The best space-saving and cosmetic thing I have ever gotten for this tiny apartment." — Talyn Amber Skye Get it from Amazon for $25.75+ (available in seven styles). 31. A bottle of plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish spray you can count on to make your appliances so shiny you won't be able to stop staring at your own reflection in them. (Spoiler: you look GOOD!) Plus, it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business based in New Hampshire making plant-based cleaning products for the home. Promising review:"I live in an apartment. The sink is about 35 years old and has become badly stained and scratched from neglect and indifferent care. This has made a noticeable difference. This sink will never look brand new again, but your product removed, I would say, about 80% of the stains, without any extraordinary effort, and put a really polished look on the sink. It is gleaming and actually looks very clean for the first time since I have lived here." — David Brennan Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in a pack of two). 32. Extra thick magic cleaning pads you can use to tackle a whole slew of messes in your kitchen by just running one under a little water. Sticky substances on your microwave handle? Fare thee well. Grime on your stove top? See ya later! These lil' beauties can tackle it all. Amazon Promising review:"I have less of a family, and more of a circus. There's six of us, including the dog. Three children under the age of six. And more grubby hands/fingers than I'd like to think about. I needed an all in one, and, boy, have I found it! Aaaand it's easily half the price of the leading brand! Especially with twins (everything baby related gets purchased twice) we need every penny stretched! It just so happens that we don't have to sacrifice quality, and I really appreciate that." — Mrs. Hawkins Get a box of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 33. A duster designed specifically to clean blinds — it'll make removing dirt and debris from those pesky window coverings a breeze. Buh-bye dust! Amazon, The set comes with five microfiber sleeves that can be washed and reused. Promising review:"Really wasn't sure if this was going to work, I've used something similar many years ago. It works remarkably well! Cleans top and bottom of the blinds, is easy to use with some cleaner. Definitely a game changer, I've already cleaned three sets of blinds since I got these today. Bravo!" — Lisa C. Wear Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two colors). 34. And a robotic vacuum will lend you a helping hand in all your cleaning endeavors — Cheetos dust, coffee grinds, endless strands of hair; none of these stand a chance against you and your new partner in crime. They'll get the cleaning done so you can conquer another task on your to-do list. (Sigh, it's laundry, isn't it?) This robotic vacuum can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewers do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. Promising review:"This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day, and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt, and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" — t. hampton Get it from Amazon for $129.99+ (also available in three other models). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
