If You're Puzzled By How People Keep Their Homes Tidy, These 39 Products Can Help You Pick Up The Pieces In Your Place
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. And if you're old enough to search "trending cleaning products" you are going to love this post. 1. A daily planner to help you track school schedules, chores, and even your water intake! Thanks, A-types, for finding a way to keep the house clean *and* stay a planner. Amazon Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Promising review:"Bought this last week. Love the set up. I can begin in the morning and then reflect at night. It covers everything from what you're grateful for to what you ate that day. I will definitely be using these for a long time!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!" — Chloe Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 2. A pumice cleaning stone for saving your toilet bowl from a bleak existence. Over 17,000 reviewers have given this a 5-star rating for getting rid of their harsh hard water stains from rust, lime, and calcium — sans harsh chemicals. Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in a pack of two and four). 3. A touch-up paint pen that'll soothe your soul if that one scuff mark on your wall has been MOCKING you for weeks now. Yes, trying to put up a shelf on your own ended in disaster. Thank you for reminding me, scuff mark! Slobproof is a woman-owned small business. Promising reviews:"Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." — Elizabeth "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." — Hooked on AMZN! Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99 (available in two pack sizes). 4. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. Plus, it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding in the springtime is their greatest skill. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 5. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. 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. I 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. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get a pack of two from Amazon for $21.43. 6. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads right when you need them most. Save some time and money with these extra-thick microfiber versions! 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: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time-use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95. 7. A silverware cubby for upgrading your currently cluttered utensil drawer. This space-saving solution practically flat packs your flatware. I use this in my kitchen! I have to hasn't exaaactly helped with organization. What it *has* done is created a neat and orderly spot for my up a ton of extra drawer space for my unruly stash of pens, bouillon cubes, drink flavor packets, and the like. Long story short — I recommend this for tidy and messy folks alike! Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in two sizes). 8. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $16.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $99.98+ (available in three versions). 9. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.29. 10. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in four styles). 11. A set of microfiber cloths that'll provide a 100% lint- and streak-free finish, because what's the point of cleaning clear surfaces if you're stuck with streaks after all your hard work? Thanks to these, that'll never be the case again. They're great for windows or any glassware, too! Promising review: "I couldn't get my windows clean using cleaning solution, newsprint, and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass, etc. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. They are truly, truly amazing." — Xena the Warrior Mama Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 12. A fabric defuzzer is gonna clean up sweaters, sofas, and other aging fabrics that have been a real ~pill~ lately. The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. Promising review:"Okay, I don't normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I'm obsessed. I can't stop. I should send this back. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I'm going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." — Sydney Jensen Get it from Amazon for $9.29+ (available in four colors and two styles). 13. A customizable set of plastic storage cubes that'll snap together and create a perfect storage masterpiece, no matter where you place them. Promising review:"I used to have a two-tier metal rack that was nowhere near enough storage space and there were always shoes all over the floor. I put this together in a rather short while and now my closet is clean! Totally love this because it is so spacious and you can build it in any shape you want." — Mama D Get a 16-cube set on sale from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors). 14. An over-the-door organizer with clear pockets sure to make finding things (whether in your pantry, garage, or bathroom) as easy as it is to put them back in their place — keep that tidy flow going! Promising review:"Great for organizing the pantry, craft rooms, and bathrooms. Finally have a way to keep all the junk off my counters. The pockets are huge, the hooks leave a low profile (so no issue with scratching), and it seems very sturdy for holding all my junk so far (it's mostly holding way too many hair products in my bathroom at the moment). I love that this is clear so you can see everything." — Breanna Get it from Amazon for $14.87 (for a two-pack). 15. A CovoBox that's hollow on the inside, so you can cover your Wi-Fi router with elegant "books" instead of leaving it out on display. What a *novel* idea! Before adding this to your cart, you have the option to customize it, including selecting from 14 lengths and 15 colors (including custom colors). The CovoBox is made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood. BTW — Covogoods is a small family-owned business creating home decor in Utah! Promising review:"I'm pretty sure I've never loved a purchase from Amazon as much as I love this one. This product is EXTREMELY well made and very unique. Plus, it does the job of hiding the ugly routers and cords. And the customer service was great and responsive. I was a little hesitant to spend the money on this but after years of living with the husband's pile of technology, the money was well spent!" — AmazonEmme Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (available in customizable sizes and colors). 16. A hanger stacker for keeping you from making a mess if you like to hang onto hangers. Promising review:"I grew tired of throwing my empty hangers into a pile in my closet. They would get all tangled up and really frustrated the heck out of me every time I had to put away clothes! This hanger stacker seemed like an easy solution and boy, was I right! It assembles really easily (just two screws and an Allen wrench) and it is good at keeping my hangers organized. Buy one — you won't regret it!" — Bubbles456 Get it from Amazon for $27.56. 17. A clever storage cube so you can keep 96 pens, pencils, markers, brushes, and other tiny tools upright and organized. Promising review:"I love everything about this. It's perfect for my desk. I'm an artist, and I bought two for all my markers. It's lightweight, very classy-looking, and the price is great. I put one on each end of my desk. They're small but hold so many markers or pencils." — Sherrie Stone Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles). 18. A nontoxic leather conditioner that'll bring your beloved leather reading chair back to life. All you need is a thin spread of this spiffy conditioner and you''ll be g2g! Now, what page did you leave off on? Promising review:"I use this for my everyday boots, as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" — David H Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A sock and underwear organizer to make sure your ~drawers~ are organized. The set includes four bins: a six-cell, eight-cell, seven-cell (ideal for bras), and 24-cell (ideal for socks). Promising review:"I LOVE LOVE LOVE these organizers!! I almost did not purchase them due to the reviews saying that larger than a C-cup would not fit into the bra organizer. At just $15 for four organizers I took my chances and ordered two sets of four. I figured, worst case scenario I would have to cut the dividers out of the bra organizers. I wear a 32DD and the bras fit beautifully in the organizers. I am so glad I took the chance and did not listen to the reviews. I would have missed out on the best cheapest organizers I have ever found. I ordered another set for tank tops and other extras I did not think of before. I will also order my boyfriend the brown ones for his drawers. Great product for a great price!" — Elizabeth L. Blackwell Get a four-pack from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors). 20. A 10-piece set of drawer organizers so that even the hidden parts of your house look like perfection. Promising review:"I needed to organize all the stuff that ends up in the bathroom vanity cabinet. These were perfect in every way. Being clear it is easy to see what is in each bin. Assorted sizes made it easy to sort out what I had and make best use of the space. The bins are beautifully made and look great on a shelf, in a drawer, in a cabinet, or even on the countertop. I would definitely buy again and have already suggested them to my friends. Happy to find quality products that are Made in the USA!" — Linda Get the 10-piece set from Amazon for $22.99. 21. A stainless steel cleaner for wiping up grease, stains, and fingerprints faster than you're able to say "cleaning the sink sucks." Turns out, it doesn't have to with this stuff. This stainless-steel cleaning spray also comes with a handy dandy microfiber cloth. Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 22. A cabinet door organizer so your awkwardly shaped plastic wrap and cutting boards won't get left out when your kids can't find an obvious place to put them. Promising review:"This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I've been doing everything I can to make sure there's a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it's completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it's great for renters and owners." — Kerry Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two styles). 23. A set of shelf dividers that'll make stacking your folded laundry a much neater process. Promising review:"I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I'm buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" — Lynn Blue Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99. 24. A touchless vacuum — go ahead and throw that dust pan in the GARBAGE where it belongs. You will no longer have to bend and snap every time you sweep. Bless. Promising review:" 10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It's so easy. This is AMAZING!!" — Alyssa Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in five colors). 25. A ceiling fan carbon filter designed by a *genius* who knew that 1) cleaning ceiling fan blades is a nightmare and 2) there's no better spot to gather dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens. These'll easily come off the fan, pop in the wash, and keep the air in your home far less pesky and particle-y! Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 26. An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached six-plug power strip to help your furniture actually sit directly against the wall, thank you very much. Promising review:"This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it's clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!" — Jay Get it from Amazon for $22.95+ (available in seven styles). 27. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can stack outfits, categories, or even *colors* of clothes with a vertical system, using up closet space in the most efficient (and A-type-friendly) way possible. Amazon Each hanger can hold up to five garments. Wowza. Promising review:"I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." — CAGH Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors). 28. A set of hidden magnetic locks that install in seconds with tape to keep your pint-sized cat burglar from breaking into your secret candy stash (and thus, leaving wrappers *everywhere*). The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys. Promising review:"These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby, and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals, and I put one on the trash door, so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on, so when my kids are bigger, we can flip the switch, but if little kids were visiting, we could put them back on." — Joseph J. Krakker Get a set of nine from Amazon for $27.99 (available in five pack sizes). 29. An extra-large dry-erase calendar so everyone in your family is able to see *exactly* what is going on each day (and what chores they have). You've managed all their schedules to a T, and all they need to do is look at them. Promising review:"I got this to replace my old dry erase board that was a lot smaller and I needed a bigger one to fit the space above my desk. The day squares are large enough to write many things in them if you need to. I definitely would recommend purchasing a frame so it's easier to take down (just a suggestion).' — Klair Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 30. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, a fan-favorite among pet parents, this odor-eliminating spray is gonna lift stains from carpet and furniture while *also* pulling out the odor that is often left behind. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes). 31. An unreasonably chic wireless handheld vacuum with adjustable nozzles to best clean varied surfaces like keyboards, desks, furniture, and even the car! I'm currently thinking of the cereal box worth of corn puffs my toddler has thrown around our might be time to get this in *my* life. Amazon, Promising review:"Another 'TikTok made me buy it' purchase. I absolutely love this thing. Helps with cleaning my daughter's desk since she's homeschooling, and it's easy to use if you have to clean drawers." — Manisha Roopnarine Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in five colors). 32. A plastic bag dispenser for organized souls who are proud of their excessively type-A personality, because who wouldn't want to keep their lunch and snack bags in their own size-appropriate slot?! Snag one of these and eliminate packaging clutter in your drawers. Check out a TikTok of the plastic bag dispenser in action. These include optional sticker labels so you know which size bag you're grabbing! YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review:"I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three-, four-, or five-slot models). 33. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to polish your toilet without you ever having to touch a dirty toilet brush. With each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 34. Some under-bed storage containers for storing blankets and out-of-season attire because heaven knows your closet can't fit a year's worth of your wardrobe. The only monster under the bed when you're an adult is unused storage space. Oof, scary. You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, whatever you have too much of. Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn Get it from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in five styles). 35. A wrapping paper storage bag designed to *also* hold ribbons, bows, and gift bags — all with pockets just their size! If you dream of having a gift-wrapping room but only have a gift-wrapping (corner of the) closet, this deliciously organized storing system was made with you in mind! Promising review: "Perfect! I have had a ton of wrapping paper, gift boxes, gift bags, tissue paper, and gift tags lying in a closet for years, and I didn't think I could possibly find something that would hold all of it. I was pleasantly surprised with how much this bag could hold; I was able to fit everything! It has two pockets to organize all my accessories and keep them separate from the wrapping paper. It even held all my wrapping paper with room for more, it also is great for small spaces since it doesn't take up much space and can lay flat." — Megan W. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 36. A 360-degree rotating hanging purse organizer because the "bag of bags" system you've been using is just a garbage bag in your closet. And it' than impressive. Show off your best purses and totes with an elevated storage system that makes so much more sense. Imagine how simple pairing an outfit with a bag will be when they're all next to each other in the closet. Chic. Promising review:"I have recently gotten more and more purses and needed a way to organize them better, and this was a great solution. It is easy to take purses on and off, and they look cute in my closet, too. The hanger is very sturdy, and it is lightweight when empty. I like that I can see all my purses in one place, and the hanger will turn a little as well, so you can easily grab which one you want. It added great organization and better functionality to my closet." — Emma Stokes Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors and multipacks). 37. A magnetic microwave cover that'll stick to the top of your microwave and easily pop off when you have something particularly saucy and sloppy that definitely needs to be covered up while heated up. Lookin' at you, lasagna. Check out a TikTok of the microwave cover in action. Promising review:"If you live in a small space like I do, this will seriously change your life. No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 38. A carpet shampoo solution to get your floors and rugs back to their original color without any toxic chemicals. Who knew your brown carpet was actually a WHITE carpet? Woof. Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small biz. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo! Promising review:"I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $21.99. 39. An air purifier that'll remove pet dander, mold, dust, pollen, and odors in your home. Grab one of these, and going outside to get fresh air will feel like an oxymoron. Promising review:"I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes, two or three times daily and general cleaning, I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished, no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! The room is 10×10, and I use it on the 2 setting. I also enjoy the night light. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." — victoria Mohagen Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors).

Just Owning These 46 Useful Products Will Feel Like Checking Chores Off Your To-Do List
1. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff. Using *just* this tool your floors will be vacuumed clean, mopped, and dried in one fell swoop! Thanks to this speedy action, you can finally deep clean the floors (on all three floors) of your house. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three styles). 2.

Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). 3.

This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 6.

My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 12.

Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smelled out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was weary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks and my dishes come out crystal clear after." — Courtney E. Delong Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $19.95. 14.

Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Get it from Amazon for $49 (available in four styles). 15.

Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $98.59. 16.

We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes). 17.

Even though we use a squeegee after every shower, we still had streaks of hard water stains. It looked hazy. This is a pasty application on a microcloth. It worked with minimal effort. I even use the battery-operated scrubber to make it easier. My shower doors look like new again. It even worked on my showerhead and faucet handle. After cleaning the shower, I tried it on my stovetop, which had scorch marks around the burners. It worked perfectly with a bit of elbow grease. I could never get them off. I give it an A+. No harsh smell, and one bottle will last me a long time." — T. Buckman Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 18. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. 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. I 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. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $16.18 (also available in multipacks). 19. A fume-free oven cleaner with a spray, wait, and wipe away system — a quick shot of this stuff can eat up those baked-in stains you've been actively avoiding since your pumpkin pie boiled over on Thanksgiving. Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens 20. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads right when you need them most. Save some time and money with these extra-thick microfiber versions! 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: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time-use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.39. 21. A Baseboard Buddy that'll basically work like an eraser. This has an extendable handle that'll make cleaning tiny corners and often-ignored areas not just simple, but suuuper satisfying. Promising review:" Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 22. A box of washing machine cleaning tablets to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven't washed your machine bought it. Promising review:"Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." — akkeber Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.18 (available in two pack sizes). 23. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.25. 24.

A pack of two Downy fabric sprays — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. Promising review:"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." — Danielle Healy, BuzzFeed Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in multiple pack styles). 26.

I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 27. A jewelry cleaning pen so you can rid your rings of buildup and cloudiness. Promising review:"If I could give this 10 stars I would!!! I'm a little of a fanatic when it comes to keeping my jewelry clean, especially my wedding set. I tried this product on my diamonds, Swarovski crystals, and Brighton jewelry and the results are nothing less than amazing!!! This restored one of my Swarovski rings that I have not worn in years due to the cloudy color to a sparkling brilliance the first day I bought it!!! I cannot recommend this product enough!!! I just ordered additional wands so I don't run out!!! Home run Amazon!!!!!!!!!!" — Kristina B. Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in multi-packs). 28.

A bottle of Bring It On — a cleaning solution your bathroom mirror is practically begging you to buy. If all the toothpaste, water spots, runaway hair spray, and splotchy skincare gunk that's stuck to your mirror has you feeling unsettled, this all-natural cleaner is gonna clear that up in seconds. Promising review:"This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next, and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie; this stuff needs some elbow grease, but it definitely works. It took off what seemed like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it, but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" — Tyrene A. Gapol Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 32. A microwave cleaner that'll save your microwave from a caked-on death by chocolate (mug cake). Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $8.89 (available in four colors). 33. A bottle of makeup brush shampoo so you can stop making your skin dirty when tryna look fresh. Promising review:"Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" — J Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 34. A box of OxiClean stain remover that'll erase every accidental spill and stain even if your scrubbing power is rather subpar. Promising review:"I had a stained mattress (pictured above) that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give this a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even remember what caused the stains, but it removed them! I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" — Little Greek Get it from Amazon for $14.98. 35. A bug remover for anyone who is ~bugged~ by the number of critters that end up creating crud on their car's perfect paint job. Promising review:"This item was recommended by a stranger in the next RV lot at a campground hundreds of miles from home. This good Samaritan brought his bottle over, sprayed down the front of my bus, and then just wiped half an inch of smashed bugs off it! Just like magic. He then smiled, shook my hand, and left. When we got within two days of home, we ordered this, and it was delivered the day after we arrived. Again, it worked just like magic." — Hikes in Rain Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 36. A drill brush kit, because having a tool that cleans just about everything is sure to make your chores a breeze. This kit includes three nylon power brushes that'll fit on any cordless drill. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well-made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles). 37.

A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to polish your toilet without you ever having to touch a dirty toilet brush. With each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet. Scrubbing Bubbles / Scrubbing Bubbles Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $9.30. 40. A WD-40 pen with the rust-preventing powers your cringey hinges need, placed in an applicator your less-than-handy hands can use without making a mess. Bless. Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use it for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, I have cleaned Sharpie off wood and walls and of course to stop squeaky doors.

I recently noticed I have a dust mite allergy Wow did this vac pull out some of that gray powder: dead skin, mite poop, mite parts. I was surprised how much it pulled out of the mattress. I probably spent a good 30 minutes with double to triple passes on the mattress while also cleaning the carpet around bed as well as my pillow." — M. Cassie Get it from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in two sizes). 42. A pack of Elephant Trax labels to make storing (and finding!) things you've packed easier than ever.

I have TONS of plastic bins and whenever I need something, I have to open each to find what I'm looking for. I took a few hours the first weekend cleaning out and organizing everything and the bins. I took pictures of the contents of each bin, put one of these stickers on each bin then associated the pics with the sticker's QR code and voila, done. IF YOU LIKE TO BE ORGANIZED, GET THESE STICKERS!" — Fred Labro Get a pack of 80 from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three pack sizes). 43.

Promising review:"I had a hole in drywall from a wall anchor that had been removed. This product did exactly what I needed it to do with a minimum of muss and fuss, and no special equipment or tools. Follow the directions, use the cap edge to smooth it out, and it's just about perfect. I've since also used it to repair drywall that was damaged when an old vanity was removed, filled up the dent perfectly. I'm going to be doing some redecorating with some new pictures on my walls, and I know this will work perfectly to patch old holes. Good stuff." — Barbara A. Hanson Get it from Amazon for $14.89. 44.
