1. A honeycomb drawer insert that will basically force you to tame your wild sock and underwear drawer — and your scarves and ties drawer — because it's so easy to just tuck each item in little zone you can't not use it. And when it's all organized, it can actually fit MORE stuff! Simply clip the pieces together for instant assembly! And you can buy as many sets as you need to attach together so you can fill your whole drawer.
Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, but.
..It's totally worth it.
The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find...
Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble.
As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (drawer dividers also available in the same listing).
2. A pack of duster sponges — if you've had your eye on the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster but can't seem to catch it in stock, these'll do about the same job! Run the sponge under some water, then swipe away at every little dusty, pet hair–coated spot in your home for instant results. Then rinse all the grime down the drain! My colleague Maitland bought these and says: "I love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing.
It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color packs). 3.
A set of glass jars with bamboo lids that'll corral clutter to pretty up your bathroom cabinet so it looks more like a spa than the kind of a wreck–vibes you've got going now. Besides looks, they also just make it easy to grab precisely what you need when you need it without digging! It comes with six pre-printed labels — Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Hair Ties, Floss Picks, Bath Salt — and 6 blank labels. Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms.
I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space! " — tara savage Get the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 . 4.
Bioclean , an iconic wipe-on, wipe-off hard water stain banisher for glass shower doors, pool tile, kitchen- and bath-fixtures, grout, and wherever else you have a buildup of minerals. It works so quickly and well, you can't convince me it's not a magic potion! Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online.
I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this..
.. This product is like magic.
It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol.
Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.99 .
5. A citrus-scented foaming carpet shampoo so you don't have to shell out $$$ at the car wash to make your car's interior look (and smell!) brand new again, despite summer's best efforts at coating everything in layers of ground-in sand, spilled milkshakes, dried muddy footprints, and piles of dog hair. Promising review: " Sorcery.
The old possible explanation. I would’ve been happy if this stuff worked half as well as the reviews made it seem. But holy cow, this fabric cleaner is ~ i n c r e d i b l e ~.
I bought a '93 jeep recently and the inside was pretty gross (check out the photos ). The fabric upholstery looked like someone’s Pepsi had exploded everywhere, with dark drippy stains and spots all over the seats. After using this cleaner with a drillbrush , these seats looks amazing! It takes some work to really get in there and work a lather, but hooboy is it worth it.
Check out the before and after photos! I’m so pumped. This stuff is great! Definitely a lifelong customer now. " — S.
Wheeler Get two bottles from Amazon for $23.98 . 6.
And a small vacuum cleaner specifically created to plug into the 12V outlets in your car, making it simple and quick to clean up any loose bits of dirt, grass, or food. Choose the most effective of the three attachments for your mess, power on, and go to town on even the smallest details. You get three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that.
The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord).
7. A retro-looking, lidded acrylic beauty organizer so pretty it's giving me heart-eyes, but that also FUNCTIONS well (thanks, two drawers and lidded top shelf) and hides your cluttery collection of must-have makeup and skincare stuff. Everything stays accessible as well as simple to dust — just wipe off the top! My colleague Maitland has this too, and says: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid.
Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!" Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it’s not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part, it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" — SGD1978 Get the set, which comes with the larger organizer and a smaller organizer for brushes, from Amazon for $42.
99 (also available without the brush organizer for $46.99; available in three colors). 8.
A reusable, *siren* machine-washable!! *siren* microfiber Swiffer mop pad so you can have all the quick and easy effectiveness and convienience if you're a Swiffer stan, but with less waste and zero extra hand-washing effort. Promising review: "I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean.
We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom.
Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry.
Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to).
I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.49 . Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.
44 ! 9. Dawn Powerwash , which lets you skip the elbow grease on those extra greasy dishes with cooked-on grime. Instead, spray 'em down, wait 10 minutes, and watch all that gunk wipe away literally like magic.
You don't even have to add water, until after you're done wiping it down. I ALWAYS keep some of this stuff by my sink, it works so well!! Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before.
I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M.
Promising review : " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning.
" — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44 . 10.
A set of super transparent, shatter-resistant, leak-proof, stain-resistant, air-tight Rubbermaid Brilliance containers so your leftover or meal prep game becomes a true work of art (and your soup or salad dressing never ends up seeping anywhere it's unwelcome). Your cabinets and fridge are about to look SO uniform. These heavy-duty plastic containers are microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe.
They even have little vents you can open so you can microwave them with the lid on, preventing splatters! Promising review: "These plastic storage containers are robust and well constructed. They can even be shaken vigorously with soup in them without risking a leak. For convenience, they are completely microwave and dishwasher safe and have held up to 50+ cycles by this point.
The seal is significant in that it acts as a vapor barrier (you don't smell what's inside until you open it). Huge plus. Additionally, you can unlatch the handles while keeping the lid sealed on, exposing vent holes.
This allows you to microwave the contents without having to cover the top or worry about splashing – ingenious design! They're also gorgeous looking (and this aesthetic holds up, they don't stain) to boot and stack well." — Nicholas Get a set of five containers from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in smaller and larger sets).
And we stan these because we use them! For more, read our full Rubbermaid Brilliance Containers review. 11. And a storage lid organizer because it'll be your Final, Once And For All Solution to the seemingly impossible pile of container lids.
Skip rifling through a cabinet full of them: this makes them easy to see, so you can instantly grab the one you actually need. The dividers are adjustable so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have! Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life.
No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again.
Great product." — Laura H. Get it from Amazon for $16.
99+ (available in four sizes and sets). 12. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that, with a single low-effort pass, mops and vacuums at exactly the same time — yes, it combines two chores into one! Use it on tile, stone, sealed wood, or basically any other kind of hard floor.
Just think of how much time you'll save!! More bells and whistles: it's self-propelling (no need to push hard, only steer), uses water from the clean tank every time, and pulls 90% of the dirty mop water back into the vacuum so it's not like just, drying on your floor. 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 entire 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 and 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 $279.99 .
13. A wall-mounted rack and broom organizer so you can turn any 17-inch section of wall into an impeccable cleaning closet the moment you hang it up. Idk about you, but I'm 100% more likely to actually GRAB and USE a product if I don't have to dig through a pile! Promising review: "I have a small apartment, and the broom closet was always a mess, with the brooms hitting me in the face whenever I took the trash out.
This saved me so much stress! The slots have little rollers and they move to fit just about any-size mop or broom. There are also little hooks that can drop down if you want to hold towels or the dustpan, which is what I use it for. This is a must-have organizational tool!" — Jacqui Nibbelin Get it from Amazon for $15.
99 . 14. A set of bed bands to hold your fitted sheet on your bed because waking up with the fitted sheet halfway off the mattress is just.
...
.UGH. You have too many other things to deal with in your life without needing to pull those elastic corners over your mattress every morning.
Thankfully these will solidly keep everything in place. Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets and with queen sheets I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating.
Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works.
I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off EVERY.
..SINGLE.
..NIGHT.
To say this is life changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.
99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 15. The Chom Chom pet hair remover roller that you simply brush over any fabric surface to instantly pick up basically every last bit of shedding your furry friend's always leaving in their wake.
Because it doesn't rely on adhesive paper, you only have to buy it once and use it forever! Promising review: "The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is.
It’s the age old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product.
Y’all are doing G-d’s work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $24.99 .
16. And Rocco & Roxie's odor-eliminating spray , for, erm, ~organic~ messes (think pee, poop, and vomit) because for those sorts of stains, you need enzymes — a type of bacteria — to feed on the ammonia to completely eliminate the smell. Other stain removers might help some, but without the enzymes in a spray like this one, that not- so-lovely stench will stick around.
Promising review: "Very hard to find ANY fault in this amazing product. It's easy to use and smells very fresh! I have a rug under our dining table where our Chow likes to tinkle pretty regularly. I was cleaning with a steam carpet cleaner at least once a week — and avoiding the rug altogether most of the time — but the smell never went away and neither did our Chow, even after using Arm & Hammer carpet deodorizer! But a few sprays of Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator and POOF! Smell is ALL GONE and Chow has lost interest.
I give this product 5 STARS but it honestly deserves more than that! Will buy again for certain!" — ICH Get a bottle from Amazon for $19.97 . 17.
A Scrub Daddy sponge holder if you can't get enough of the adorably iconic dish-washing assistant, and want to keep him ready and available for the next inevitable moment you need to wash a pot. In between, the holder allows him to gently drip dry, helping him last longer and leaving the area around your sink drier. Win! Promising review: "Finally a nice place to keep my Scrub Daddy.
Holds great on the side of the sink. The suction power is strong for its size, and it rotates with ease. This is a good holder for the price.
" — Luis peralez Get it from Amazon for $8.99 . Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home.
18. A minimalist silverware tray that takes up half the space of a traditional organizer but still stores a full 24-piece cutlery set, so you can use the rest of the drawer to store so much more. Ready to feel like an organizing genius? It also comes in a version just for knives .
Promising review: "I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space.
I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmothers silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer.
After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." — Jerimi Get it from Amazon for $9.59 .
19. An adhesive cord organizer created specifically to securely hold onto plugs on those appliances that flop around in your face (especially as you move your CrockPot back into its cabinet) or take up wayyy to much visual space trailing across your floor. Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action.
Promising review : "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances . It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience.
He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying 'this is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well.
I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.
95 (or a four-pack for $19.95). Tidywrap, a small biz, makes this super smart cord organizer design that sticks onto appliances! (Note that it's not meant to stick onto walls, because it could peel off paint or wallpaper.
) 20. A restorative sink cleaner and polish smartly concocted to erase stains and shine up stainless, porcelain, corian, acrylic, and enameled sinks. The genius cherry on top? It builds a waxed coating makes the food bits and pieces simply rinse away the first time, no chasing them in circles for ages, wasting water.
My colleague Maitland uses and LOVES this stuff: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain.
Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here. " Promising review: "I only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible.
My cleaning person came Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and quick rinse, it looks new.
I’ve ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding.
Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it’s honestly perfect.)" — EdUK8 Get the value size from Amazon for $29.
95 or the smaller size for $10.85 . 21.
A Furemover rubber broom so you can extract years' worth of built-up, embedded pet AND HUMAN hair from your carpet and rugs (the kind that even your pet vacuum somehow doesn't touch) *and* easily sweep up the scattered bits from your hardwood or tile floors. Promising review: "I use this on my wood floors and my rugs. I have three big dogs that shed like crazy.
It is the perfect shape and size to fit anywhere to get the fur trapped under couches, tables, etc. As soon as I got it, I tried it out and my jaw dropped after how well it worked. It's completely made of rubber and molded so it wont fall apart.
" — Brittney Promising review: " This is the best $13 I’ve ever spent in my life. I’ve had it for three days and I’ve told like 37 people about it. I don’t have carpet in my house but I have rugs and hard wood floors and giant German shepherd hair tumbleweeds.
I’m not kidding I felt like I was swimming in dog hair! I was sweeping with a regular broom several times a day and it felt like I was trapped in a fur dust storm. My allergies were begging me to find a solution. I bought ALL the vacuums and blew up every single one of them, including an actual Shop-Vac.
This thing somehow magically attracts all the dog hair and dirt in a neat little pile. I will buy this again and again until I die." — Kimber Leigh Get it from Amazon for $12.
98 (available in six other types/styles). 22. A laundry folding board — it will turn your pile of clothes fresh from the dryer into an immaculately neat drawer ready–stack with just a few seconds of work per shirt.
Presto, your clean laundry pile no longer looks identical to your dirty laundry pile, and you can fit more in your suitcase and drawers! Promising review: "Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media.
I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH.
I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is.
After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $16.
99 (available in five colors). 23. A spice *drawer* organizer because when you lay all your seasonings out neatly and in alphabetical order, you can see your entire selection at a glance, instantly grabbing what you need — about 100x better than piling them all in a cabinet where you have to hunt for the Herbs de Provence.
These soft foam drawer liners cut to size, meaning they're easy to customize to your drawer! Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! 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!

A why didn't I think of this – purse-size cleaning ball featuring a sticky, washable core that picks up all those gross little crumbs and bits of dirt floating around in your bag.

I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether Promising review: "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of.
It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again.
The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
25. A set of glass food storage jars about to transform your countertop or pantry into a gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy aesthetic paradise — plus you'll effortlessly know how much flour, cavatelli pasta, oatmeal, or Fruit Loops you have left at a glance. Promising review: "I recently upgraded my kitchen storage game with these fabulous glass containers with bamboo lids, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
These containers have not only elevated the aesthetics of my pantry, but also contributed to my sustainability efforts . I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." — Caroline Get the 7-pack from Amazon for $28.

Promising review: "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fire place nothing would take off.
Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that...
everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort . Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new.
" — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.29 . 27.
An automatically spinning makeup brush cleaner so all you have to do is drizzle in some soap — the EcoTools one gets excellent reviews — top with water, hold your brush on the textured silicone bottom, and press the button to watch the bowl twirl away even layers and layers of dried on, now-gross foundation. Promising review: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all make up brushes pretty good.
I added few drops of baby shampoo & hot water...
it’s amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it girl!" — Mariela Promising review: "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes . This brush cleaner is a game changer.
To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water.
My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore. " — TaleSpinner Get it from Amazon for $19.
99 (available in three colors). 28. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner — mist your shower walls, curtain/door, tub, fixtures, and floor once a week after you turn off the water, and you'll (almost) never need to deep clean your shower at all.
This dissolves all the grime *before* it can buildup, and leaves a nice pleasant scent behind! This daily shower cleaner prevents *and* helps clean buildup of all kinds of nasties, including the dreaded soap scum and limescale, with no need to scrub — simply rinse the next day, right before you shower again. Promising review: "I am 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower I didn’t even know was there!

A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that you simply drop into almost any seemingly permanently stained travel mug or stainless water bottle to banish those stains without scrubbing even one little bit. Want all your beloved drinking vessels to look new in no time? This stuff's the key! Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside.
It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing.
They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either.
I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore.
AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.99 .
30. A set of Shoe Slotz because they genuinely double the amount of shoe storage space available by stacking each pair on top of each other, utilizing allllll of that vertical space on your shelves. Now you have the perfect excuse to shop for more shoes!! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa says: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes.
As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz . It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes.
" Promising review: "I will spare you the horrific 'before' picture of the complete nightmare that was my closet floor. Just imagine a dusty mess with shoes thrown all over each other in a sad attempt at giving some appearance of order, and you will have a good idea of why buying this shoe organizer was one of the best ideas I've had this year. The floor now looks so neat and tidy I can't believe my eyes every time I open my closet doors.

Btw, the image is of two of the cabinets next to each other! Promising review : "Love the shoe storage.
Mostly bought for the look, not practicality. These fit sandals/anything flat like Birks, running shoes, and Air Forces fine, but anything taller won't fit. Six shoes total for one cabinet fit.
Would buy again. Does as advertised and easy on the eyes." — mmaj Get it from Amazon for $59.
89+ (available in eight colors and with two or three drawers) 32. A bottle of pre-mixed Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser , which is the quickest way to polish up all kinds of scratched, dirt- and grease-encrusted hard surfaces — from sinks (like porcelain or stainless steel) to countertops to glass to rust-stained cookware to your grandma's copper jelly molds that have seen better days — so they look brand-new. Promising review: "Hands down the BEST cleanser for sinks and tubs I have ever used.
I bought his because the Comet bleach cleaner was not getting rid of some stains in my tub (regular use stains and a little ring from a cup). After two applications of Bar Keeper's Friend, one overnight and one for a couple of hours, the stains and 95% of the ring are gone. And it smells a thousand times better than Comet or bleach.
Do not hesitate to buy." — SI801 Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 .
Check out our first-hand review of Bar Keepers Friend original *and* the soft cleansing liquid. 33. A set of eight clear acrylic fridge storage bins that'll instantly make everything look both neat and ~special~.
Even better? It'll be so much easier to pull out the stuff in the very back without having to dig for it, which can help cut down on food waste! All the bins are about 12.5 inches deep; the set comes with six equally-sized bins. They'd also work wonders in the pantry! Promising review: "The bins were a life saver.
Now I can reach things easily by pulling out bins. The entire family found this works better than reaching in the back of refrigerator. Now it is simply as pulling out a bin.
Also, now we don't have to stand in front of the refrigerator looking for things, because the bins have "like" items in each. I also paired this with the rotating refrigerator carousel. My refrigerator is now very organized and maximizes space! The bins seem very durable and are made of sturdy material.

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 . 36.
And a (washable!) extendable microfiber duster that makes it easy to follow the cardinal rule of cleaning — start at the top, and work your way down to the bottom, so you don't vacuum first then end up with dust on the floor from your fan. This expands up to feet long, and can be easily angled precisely how you need it to! Promising review: "Works very well. The telescoping handle has a super long reach when extended all of the way.
There is nowhere in my home I can't reach with this. The duster really grabs and holds onto cobwebs and dust. I cleaned my ceiling fans without dust falling onto me and the floor below.
There is also a rubber tip at the end of the duster that keeps it from scratching or marring surfaces which I thought was very nice. My only complaint is that I wish the rubber handle at the end was attached a bit better. It pulls totally off every time I extend the arm, but that's a very simple fix and doesn't really affect it's performance.

Washing machine cleaning tablets to gift your washer a no-effort deep-clean between loads — they're specifically designed to keep your machine, and therefore the clothes you clean in it, smelling nice and fresh. Promising review: "These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry.
Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.
18 . 38. And a cleaning gel that's thick enough to actually stay where it needs to long enough to make that disgusting-looking black mold buildup in the gasket of your front-loader *poof* disappear.
Squirt it on before bed, leave overnight, then wipe away in the morning — you might say "WHOA" out loud when you see the difference! It also works wonders on grout and silicone caulking, both in the kitchen and bathroom! Promising review: "I used this product on the rubber gasket on my front load washing machine and also on the white caulk on my kitchen and bathroom sinks. Let me tell you, this stuff works amazing! There is very little smell and it is very easy to apply since its a gel consistency. I needed to apply this twice to my washing machine since the mold was harder to come out.
But it really was able to remove the yucky black mold that I had previously had a lot of trouble removing! So happy to see clean and mold free surfaces. AMAZING STUFF! " — L.C.

I've tried many products (including non-green products in my own home) and this is my absolute favorite. Many wood floor cleaners leave a film and can be sticky, but not this. Just squirt and mop.
I've tried the other Method scents and they work great, but the almond is my favorite. My clients always rave about the scent and often ask what I use and where to get it. Absolutely love this!" — Jamie Parsons Get it from Amazon for $15.

Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard.

Less time spent + easy results = no frustration! My mom tried like, three or four different stainless cleaners before I showed her this one, and y'all: she swears by it because it's easier and faster to use than the others, and makes all of her stainless appliances SO SHINY! Promising review: "If you have a Sub-Zero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It's a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff.

You'll also just feel a sense of peace when you open your closet door, thanks to their sleek, uniform look. I have similar hangers, and the flocking on them (which, reviewers for this brand say does *not* shed onto your clothes, phew) completely prevents thin straps and silky fabrics from falling off, even when I'm rifling through rapidly, late for brunch. Promising review: "These hangers do all the work for me.
I was finally inspired to rid myself of flimsy tacky dry cleaner hangers and bulky plastic ones — I’d have to size up my clothes in order to determine which ones wouldn’t slide off the plastic. With these hangers, everything works, and the velvet is like an easy-to-use magnet for my clothes. Nothing slips.
The space-saving design makes a surprising difference. I share a small master closet and thanks to these hangers my side is roomy and organized now. " — E.

I moved into a brand new apartment complex that was just built and after being there for a week with three cats I decided to vacuum the carpet and rugs. TO SAY MY JAW DROPPED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

Or a Roomba robot vacuum so you can *really* keep your floors cleaner than you ever thought possible, because once a day it'll capture all the pet hair, dirt, and other mysterious crud that got tracked in over the past 24 hours. Idk about you, but I am NOT sweeping or vacuuming DAILY, that's too much work.
But I would let one of these little buddies do it for me. It runs for up to 90 minutes, recharges itself automatically, and works with the voice-controlled Alexa and Google Assistant. Promising review: "Best purchase ever.
Purchased to clean on wooden floor. I am amazed by how well it cleans the finest of dust. Wonder what took me so long to purchase it.
Best buck for money. If you need a neat place, this is your best bet. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!" — BK Promising review: "Best thing I ever bought in my life! I can NOT believe I lasted so long without Roomba.
I wasted years of my life vacuuming on weekends instead of resting! You start it and let it do its thing. Will remind you when it’s full and knows to go home when the battery is low. Does a great job with dog hair (we have a Collie who sheds like [wild]).
I only need to stick a dust swiffer in tight corners where Roomba can’t fit once a week...
maybe. It is an amazing tool! P.S.
I don’t use the app. I just like to be present when it works." — C.

Essie, OPI, Pop-Arrazi, Sinful Colors, Sally Hansen Instadry, Wet and Wild, Hard As Nails, and Cover Girl all fit perfectly in the same standard size boxes. My Julep colors fit two in a compartment! The first row has adjustable dividers; you can use them to keep odd-shaped bottles or do what I do: use one side for my nail stamper, dotting tools, and the drying drops and the other for foam wedges and nail pens. It looks way neater easily tucked under my vanity instead of the baskets and baskets of polishes I had to hunt through! " — Clouds Get one on Amazon for $29.

Aside from my own house, I clean for others, and this has easily cut my blind cleaning time in half. Which is perfect for such a tedious job. It gets to the edge of wide blinds.
When you’re done, just throw them in the laundry. Worth every penny and then some." — AM Kipp Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.

I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean.
It doesn’t take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.

Garbage disposal cleaning tablets because their foam will reach into the depths of the disposal for you to scrub out every. single. last.
inch. of smelly grime. All you have to do? Pop in the packet and switch on the disposal normally.
Note that if your disposal's clogged, though, this definitely won't take care of the problem. For that, you'll probably need to call a plumber. Promising review: "Do you have a stinky garbage disposal? If so, get some of these.
They are cheap, smell nice. And the foaming action really provides you with a visual they are cleaning the drain. After using these the garbage disposal seems smoother (fewer strange noises, like it's been lubricated).
I'd recommend these over Plinks any day as I feel the Plinks only hide smells whereas these foaming packets actually clean the disposal ."— Sugacookie Get a pack of four from Amazon for $10.96 .

Plumbing backed up...

53. A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit packed with a grease- and grime-busting polish *plus* a scrubber and a scraper, so you can skip hours of elbow-aching scouring (so annoying) but still get your cooktop gleamingly clean. Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine that could.
I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks.
No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well every home remedy suggestion and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this.
I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up.
With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it’s incredible. 5 stars+++" — Implied Queens Get the kit from Amazon for $14.

Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser . Won't buy those anymore and these will last me a very long time.
I scrubbed and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." — miguel mendez Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it.
These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer! " — Keisha Marie Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $13.95 . 55.

And you barely have to lift a finger: douse the stain with it, let dry to a chalky powder, and brush it away. Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie.
We had grease spilled on our brand new paver patio and I tried dawn and the Dawn power wash. Neither touched it. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks and I saw an ad for this stuff.
I ordered it to try because why not? Well I'll be damned because this took the spots right up! No evidence we ever spilled anything! Id buy it again." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $17.97 .
