I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

1. A Scrub Daddy sponge that is in the Shark Tank hall of fame *and* has almost 50,000 5-star ratings — if that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will. It truly can clean up all kinds of messes with its unique design that changes it from a soft sponge in hot water to a hard sponge when cold. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

When dealing with tougher messes, hold the sponge under cold water to firm it up. Hot water will soften it, which is perfect for lighter cleaning. It is made with a non-scratch material that is safe for many surfaces, including glass, stainless steel, nonstick, copper, and cast iron. Plus, the smiley mouth is not only adorable but was designed to help clean off both sides of a utensil at once! 

Promising review: "These Scrub Daddies are the best thing to happen to sponges since the first person looked at a live sponge and said, 'I bet I could make one of those without killing a living sponge.' They don't smell! They clean like wizardry. And they last and last and last! I ordered these the first time at my apartment, and I've ordered them again for vacation. Helpful tip: Great for cleaning knives. This may give you a shudder, but I just stick the knife into the Scrub Daddy's mouth and pull it out...like licking the cake batter off the knife, but never getting cut! Scrub Daddies are INVINCIBLE and AWESOME!" —J. Bogdanove

Get a pack of three on Amazon for $13.99.

2. Drywall repair putty for those DIY projects that end with a few nail holes and cracks in the wall. This fixes them up like they never happened with just a quick swipe, dust, and a little paint. It's perfect for renters so you can actually hang things in your place and still get your security deposit back. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is so much easier to use than a spackling paste. As soon as I opened it, I tried it on a recent nail hole. Now I can't remember where it was because the product made the hole disappear!! Magic!" —Deb Christenson

Get one from Amazon for $14.89.

3. A pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner so you can confidently point your guests to the bathroom instead of warning them about all the hard water stains (why are they so stubborn to get out). With the power of the pumice stone, you can finally get your porcelain throne shining once again. Plus, with an 18-inch handle and replaceable stone, you won't have to get disgustingly close to touching toilet water. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I'll start with the reason these were purchased. Our downstairs toilet gets a horrible ring that doesn't like to stay away. Our water is very high in minerals, contributing to the stain. The toilet doesn't always get used, and some forget to flush. I do tend to forget (excuse for being lazy 😁) to clean, even when I need to. I have tried using a toilet brush, Scrubbing Bubbles, Clorox CleanUp, and a couple of other methods and cleaning supplies. This pumice stone got the ring completely gone in about 2 minutes. It didn't scratch the porcelain, which is wonderful. The pumice held up well; not a lot came off. I will be keeping these in stock, and do recommend to anyone who likes a clean toilet bowl." —snrooster 

Get the handle and eight screw-on pumice heads from Amazon for $19.98 (refill packs of eight pumice heads also available). 

4. A pack of damp sponges to effortlessly pick up every dust particle and pet hair and prevent your allergies from kicking into full gear. It's designed with a ridged surface to fully grasp all the dust on your blinds, floors, and ceiling fans, so it won't puff into your face and cause a sneeze attack. Just wet, wipe, and rinse for dust-free living. Sorry, Scrub Daddy, but I'm adding this one to the cart. 

www.amazon.com

My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer can vouch for these: "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far 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 a four-pack from Amazon for $7.74+ (available in six color combos and in packs of two or eight).

5. A bottle of Bioclean hard water stain removerfor your shower that looks like it has frosted glass (yeah, it's not supposed to look like that). This will *waves wand* vanish that cloudy residue that leaves your glass and faucet with a spotted pattern. You can even use it beyond the shower, like in your kitchen for your grimy stove top or for your swimming pool tiles that have seen better days. 

www.amazon.com

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 $17.28.

6. Amagnetic two-layer fridge shelf so you can open up some counter space, while still giving your fruit 5-star treatment. I know your apples were tired of being cramped in a single fruit bowl. There's a shelf for storing things like extra spices or vitamins, or you can even decorate it with your favorite potted plants to add a little razzle-dazzle to your kitchen. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OMG. This was a worthy investment. I can't tell you how many people ask about these baskets when they visit my house. If you are into the farmhouse vibes, these are the perfect addition. I hate storing things on my counter, but I love that I can always keep fresh fruit and veggies from the store or garden readily available. The kids love that it is easy to get to, and I am incredibly surprised by how strong the magnet is. I have another one in the coffee nook on the other side of the fridge that holds the coffee pods and seasonings. Love how this has saved me space." —HereIAm 

Get it from Amazon for$22.93+ (available in three colors and in two-packs). 

7. The viral Levoit air purifier so you can actually take a deep breath without irritating your allergies or getting a big whiff of cat litter. The HEPA filter helps guarantee a cut in all the dust, smoke, dander, and pollen that floats in the air. It's also small and even has a quiet mode, so you can keep it by your bed to wake up breathing clean, fresh air. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn’t want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate dusting furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they can be vacuumed, which I do about once a week, so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than for others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1,200-square-foot townhouse, and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3–4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought two of the smaller versions of this same purifier for the two bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine, they don’t work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms, too. I’ve had all three purifiers going 24/7 for four months now, and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all, these purifiers have been very economical to use." —SuesZoo

"I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." —Charles Tweedy

Get a purifier that can cover up to 1,073-square-foot spaces from Amazon for $84.94+ (available in black and white, plus a pet version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 square feet for $39.97.

8. A waterproof shelf liner to give your fridge and pantry shelves a cottagecore makeover that might actually help you remember to clean them out from time to time. It'll also keep your drinks and condiments from slipping all over the place. You'll feel ~main character energy~ every time you go for a midnight snack. 

Amazon

Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print, and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 18 patterns). 

9. Goo Gone so you can finally take off those stickers your kiddos so graciously decorated your antique dresser with. No need to try to razor it off or sacrifice an old credit card. Just slap some on, give a wipe, then wash with soap and water for a sticky-free mess that "never happened 😉." 

Yi Yang / Via BuzzFeed

This is safe to use on glass, plastic, carpets, fabrics, and hard surfaces. 

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Yi Yang has this to say: "Goo Gone is one of those things that I somehow had never heard of until this year (though others have apparently had it in their households for years). When I saw it in this BuzzFeed post, my life was changed forever. I couldn’t believe I had lived for so many years without this stuff. So many presents were ruined by price stickers that wouldn’t peel off properly and so many reusable glass containers thrown away/recycled because I couldn’t get the sticky label off of them.

When I got my hands on a bottle, I immediately put it to test. A couple of days ago, I bought a really cool glass milk saucer from the MoMA store, but the product label left an ugly and sticky residue on it (why do shops allow stickers like this?!). I applied the Goo Gone, washed with soap and water, and voilà — the adhesive came right off, leaving my saucer crystal clear. Then, I cleaned off an old soy sauce container and turned it into a flower vase. And it can do so much more than just removing price stickers; the product description says it’ll work on candle wax, permanent marker, crayon, glue, gum, tape residue, adhesive, paint, tree sap, tar, etc. It’s also surface-safe and can be used on carpet and upholstery, clothing, and any hard surfaces — including glass, laminate, metal, wood, plastic, vinyl, windows, ceramic, granite, flooring, countertops, tile, and wood. And bonus: It smells nice and citrusy!

Since purchasing Goo Gone, I’ve cleaned off several candle tins, a Trader Joe's growler, and a kimchi jar previously marred by sticky labels — they can now be reused as pen holders and food containers! In fact, now I'm constantly looking around my apartment to see what I can Goo Gone (yes, I'm using it as a verb) and reuse. Definitely one of my best household purchases EVER."

Get it from Amazon for $13.89.

10. A fan favorite ChomChom pet hair remover roller because, unlike those disposable lint rollers, you don't have to peel anything off after one swipe. This clings to those loose hairs as you roll it back and forth and stores them right inside the roller for easy cleanup. Now your guests will WANT to sit on your couch instead of avoiding it like the plague. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I wish I had this sooner. I have four dogs and two cats, so lots of pet hair. It is so easy to use and clean. No more buying lint rollers that cost lots of money, this is so much better just roll and empty. I have used it on my furniture, rugs and clothing with no problems. I highly recommend. I am buying one for all of my friends and family that have pets." —Jason

"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 $24.99.

11. An all-season down alternative comforter for my warm sleepers that still love to cozy up in bed. To quote Hannah Montana, 🎶"it's the best of both worlds." 🎶 It has a lightweight cooling touch that makes it perfect for summer, yet still comfy when winter comes around. You honestly never have to switch it out. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This duvet insert exceeded my expectations. Light enough for Florida summers and Florida winters. I should have purchased one sooner." —Afi Sanaa 

"The 100% cotton shell feels soft and breathable, and the quilted design keeps the fill evenly distributed for consistent warmth. It’s lightweight enough for warmer nights but still cozy during cooler weather — ideal for all-season use." —LukeSkyWalker

Get it from Amazon for $42.49+ (available in six sizes and two colors).

12. A bottle of no-scrub weekly shower cleaner if cleaning your bathroom is a task you always seem to "forget" about (it's my least favorite chore, too). Spray this all over your shower once a week and leave it alone to do its magic. It'll tackle the soap scum, grime, and mold and mildew stains — without you putting in hours of scrubbing. 

www.amazon.com

You may need a few applications at first if your bathroom has stubborn grime. Once your shower is clear, just spray this once a week to keep it sparkling. 

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but this product exceeded my expectations! I've used it once a week for the last couple of months, and my shower has remained impeccably clean without any need for scrubbing. My bathroom counter had a weird black residue that regular cleaners and scrubbing couldn't remove. After the first application, most of the residue came off with light scrubbing, and after the second application, all of it was gone. I wish I'd discovered this spray sooner!" —Claire W.

"I debated getting this and read so many reviews. I bit the bullet and bought it. No regrets! Absolutely love it. Let it sit for hours, and it wiped away with so much ease. I didn’t have to scrub anything. 10/10." —Stephanie Mueller

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).  

13. A set of bedsheet organizers so opening your linen closet can stop feeling like falling into a booby trap. Do not surrender to the avalanche of sheets and blankets! These will keep all your linens neat, while opening up extra space. You can even label them so there's no more guessing which duvet cover fits your guest bed. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "No more messy closet or lost sheets and pillowcases! This was a great option for us. We have a king bed with split sheets. This keeps the sets organized and allows us to store our large sets of linen easily. The entire closet is organized now! Sturdy for what it is. Should last a long time." —Tera

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in eight colors and also in a nine-pack). 

14. An oil stain remover for those giant grease stains on your concrete you thought would live forever. No matter how many times you try to cover them up, they'll always live in your head rent free! Just sprinkle over the stain, wait for it to dry, and then brush it away. You'll have such beautiful concrete, you'll start believing magic does exist. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots, all about the size of a dollar bill, baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon, and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried, and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well, it broke apart with the broom, and the stains were gone. I just swept up the powder pieces — it took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and is easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete, so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface, but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).

15. A pots and pans organizer, because with this, grabbing your go-to pot won't end with you needing to empty the whole cabinet — or worse, the loudest *bang* you ever heard. You can even organize your lids with it if you have the room, because we all know that's a whole other challenge. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Fantastic! The 5-tier design is perfect for storing cast-iron skillets, pots, and frying pans, helping keep everything neatly organized. The durable steel construction is robust and supports heavy cookware without bending. It's ready to use right out of the box — no assembly required. A must-have for any well-organized kitchen. Highly recommend!" —TRivas 

Get it from Amazon for $24.95+ (available in two colors). 

16. A rectangular lazy Susan so you can actually reach your food instead of letting it spoil in the back of your fridge. This will help reduce the mess that is your condiment collection once and for all. As they say, the best way to get to know someone is by looking in their fridge — soooo, let's get to organizing. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the rectangular lazy Susan in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes and as a two-pack).

17. A chrome-finish hanger stacker, if the thought of dealing with a pile of tangled up plastic hangers is your own personal nightmare (this "before" image makes me rage). This will contain the monster that currently resides in your closet without breaking any in the process. Now hanging up laundry can be less of a tear-inducing chore. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The struggle with hangers has been real for quite some time. I wish I would have known about this thing sooner! It arrived double boxed and nicely packaged within. It doesn't wiggle and seems sturdy. Hopefully, it stays that way, because this has saved me a ton of room and hassle! I'm buying another for child-size hangers." —Kara Adams

Get it from Amazon for $22.60.

18. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator so the first thing guests smell when they arrive isn't your dog's morning accident. This eliminates those tough lingering odors using the power of orange oil to leave your space with an ~aaahh~ citrus smell. You'll forget where the odor was even coming from. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Just shake the bottle, spray it on, and let it dry completely. Easy peasy! 

This tackles odors and some stains, but works best after using an enzyme cleaner.

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: "Sorcery in a bottle. This stuff works, period. My cat has started to spray. After I cleaned up the initial mess, I let it dry and then sprayed it with this stuff. Seriously, it's like my cat never even sprayed. I also like the fact that once the orange scent goes away, it takes the urine smell with it. Not thick or sticky, and you can reapply it without feeling like you've overdone it. This stuff is amazing." —Shannon Shelton

Get it from Amazon for $17.96.

19. Ashoe storage cabinet to house the mountain of shoes that collect by your front door. Unlike other organizers that put your shoes out on display, this neatly tucks them away with flip drawers that can fit over 32 pairs. Finally, no more tripping over your slippers when you walk in! 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love this!! It fits perfect in my space, my kids actually put their shoes in it now instead of just throwing them by the door. It’s nice to look at, it’s sturdy, the drawers open and shut easily, and we can fit so many pairs of shoes in there!!" —Kristin Guthrie 

Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in 10 styles and four sizes).

20. A pack of adhesive caddies for your shower that barely has enough square footage for *you* to stand in, much less all your stuff. This set comes with five different style holders to give your bar of soap, extra-large shampoo bottles, and even your loofah a home, so your floor can stop being a tripping hazard. They are even designed to fit snug in the corner of your shower so you can wash your hair freely without knocking anything over. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve been on the search for something that creates extra space in our shower and have not found anything that worked until this. I’ve tried all the hanging ones, suction ones, but nothing has stayed or has been too bulky. We live in a tiny apartment, so a tiny shower. But these shower caddies are perfect. The adhesive is super strong and clear, so they go on great, and I haven’t had them get loose at all. There are different sizes, so I can arrange them the way I need. I’m very impressed so far and very pleased." —Breanna Hargis 

Get it on Amazon for $19.98+ (available in nine colors).

21. Folex Carpet spot remover designed to nearly-instantly clean stains and odors, with no need to pull out a vacuum. This *voilà* lifts the stain without leaving a residue that ends up making a bigger mess. Accidents happen when you least expect them, so summon a bottle before your white carpet turns a faded red from your 10th wine spill. 

www.amazon.com

To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with the absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin!

Promising reviews: "This is literally a miracle product. I learned about it from RH. I asked their sales associates how they keep their white couches so clean with thousands of people coming through the store. You just spray it and the stain magically comes out. I've been using this product for two years. I have white couches and yes, it keeps them white. I'm shocked at what it is able to get rid of. Undefeated." —Sean

"I have used about three bottles of this stuff now. I don't know what they put in it but it's absolutely magic. I have to come across a stain it doesn't work on. Today alone my toddler stained the carpet pink with food coloring. Somehow this got it all out. Highly recommend this product." —Emily K

Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $34.98+.

22. A mold cleaning gelfor that gross caulk ring around your toilet base (or bathtub) or your washing machine gasket you've always been too scared to touch. All you do is apply the gel, let it sit for a few hours, then just wipe away with a little water. No need to pull out the big guns or call in maintenance — you got it handled. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel on the mold and left it sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

23. A pack of closet storage bins so you can finally tackle that closet you've labeled "KEEP OUT." Use them to organize your seasonal decor or to keep your towel collection at bay. They are designed with an open front so you don't have to play a guessing game every time you are searching for something. Just pull the sturdy handle for a clear view that'll have you exclaiming, "Wow, that was easy." 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love the quality of these. I really only needed 1, but having 3 is great too. They fold down all the way for easy storage when you are not using. They are nice and wide, so I can fit all of my beach towels as well as sunscreen and other beach items. I love being able to see what is in them and be able to reach in without having to take the whole thing out like you would a basket." —Kelsey  

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in seven colors and sizes S–L). 

24. Aself-cleaning broom and dust pan setfeaturing a built-in scraper that combs through your broom to remove anything stuck on the bristles, so you can actually get clean floors instead of sweeping with the same dog hairs from last week. Now you can stop breaking your back to get every last dust particle. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced properly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." —DonnaMarie13

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors). 

25. A cable management box to tuck away our jangled up cords, if you can't bear to stare at that mess any longer. Out of sight, out of mind. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This cable management box set has been a total upgrade for our home setup. Between the TV, router, laptops, and all the chargers, we had wires everywhere, and it always looked messy. These boxes helped clean everything up instantly and made the space look so much more organized and polished. I really like the wooden-style design—it blends in nicely with our decor instead of looking like a bulky plastic box. The size is perfect for holding power strips, adapters, and extra cables without feeling cramped. Setup was simple, and within minutes, we had all the clutter tucked away neatly. The build quality feels solid, and the baby- and pet-proof locking feature gives extra peace of mind, especially with little ones around. It keeps everything safe and out of reach. Overall, this is a simple but very effective solution that made a big visual difference. Definitely worth it if you want a cleaner, safer, and more organized space." —KB

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).

26. A stove top cleaning kit so you can cook dinner in peace instead of side-eyeing the week-old pasta sauce stain or enduring a smoke attack from a stuck-on piece of cheese. This easily lifts those caked-on messes with a few drops and a wipe (and a scrape if necessary). You'll be shocked you pushed off cleaning it for so long. 

www.amazon.com

It comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a scraper.

All you need is a quarter-size amount directly on the cooktop, that you rub in with the included cleaning pad. Then just give it a good wipe. It comes with a scraper tool, too, for burnt-on messes that need extra elbow grease to remove. 

Promising review: "I had tried four different cleaners before discovering this one and I wish I would have found it sooner! All of that caked-on liquid that runs out of the pans and burns into the stove top while you’re cooking?? This removes all of it. It doesn’t scratch your glass top stove top and it leaves it looking brand new. I won’t ever buy another cleaner — this is it for me!" —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $16.98 (also available in two other styles).

27. A roll of peel-and-stick wallpaper to cover up those walls or furniture that have marks beyond what a can of paint can fix. You can also roll it out to give your space an easy upgrade without spending big bucks on a full-house makeover. Simply apply it like a sticker to your walls, cabinets, and counters to have your guests jealous they didn't think of it first. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Very good product. I would buy again. The paper is thick and easy to work with. Clean print, great results! Great for small projects and big walls. This print is super easy to align. Very happy with it!" —Allanis 

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and seven patterns). 

28. FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powderthat'll have you wanting a time machine so you can go back to before you ruined your pipes with hot bacon grease. This takes away that messy step and saves you from an expensive plumbing bill. Simply sprinkle the powder in the oil or grease while it's hot, let it cool, then just satisfyingly scoop it into the trash. Easy peasy.  

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review:" I used to HATE cooking with oil because I never knew what to do with it when I was finished. Not anymore! This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

29. A three-blade blinds cleaner to get every last speck of dust that you swear has been there since you moved in. It comes with five microfiber sleeves so you can properly clean every single blind faster (with less risk of breaking one). You'll start to feel like the Karate Kid as you swipe back and forth.

Promising review: "I have three blinds in my kitchen and it usually is a half a day event for me to clean them, hence, I don't do it as often as I should. This blind cleaner is magic. It's so easy to use and it cleans so well.....and so fast. I was able to clean all three blinds today in 30 minutes! Thank goodness it came with multiple microfiber sleeves because I ended up using all of them. You have to use a bit of muscle to apply pressure so the brush sleeves are flush against the blinds but it's very easy to do. After you're done, pop the sleeves in the washer and you're good to go. I can't stop looking at my blinds now. They look brand new! I highly recommend!!!" —Lynn
