36 Handy Home Products Reviewers Swear By — In Fact, They Regret Not Buying Them Sooner

People can’t stop raving for a reason and it’s time we all start listening.

by Courtney Lynch BuzzFeed BuzzFeed Staff

I've spent the last three years as a Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed covering a wide range of topics, including but not limited to must-have Amazon products, personal care, home and organization, and more.

Pinterest

1. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Shower and Tub Scrubber to transform your bathroom cleaning routine. You'll get rid of stubborn soap scum and grime so easily, you'll wish you had it sooner. When used with a scrubber, the erasers last five times longer! Bonus: It has a built-in squeegee and a 360-degree rotating head for effortless cleaning that gets ALL the nooks and crannies.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It comes with one Mr. Clean Shower & Tub Scrubber and two Mr. Clean Shower & Tub Lemon Foaming Magic Erasers.

Promising review: "First time using these took maybe 10 minutes, and the results were honestly impressive. It cleaned up soap residue on the sliding glass door way better than I expected with very little effort. I also didn’t realize they have a bit of cleaner built into the eraser itself, which was a nice bonus and probably helps with how well they work. Super easy to use and effective. Definitely one of those “wish I found these sooner” products." —Joel

Get it from Amazon for $12.94 (also available in a larger set).

2. Detergent cup holders that'll make you whisper, "Where have you been all my life?" when you do laundry. Gone are the days of wiping up soapy puddles that dripped onto the floor. Simply snap the parts together and attach the cup holder to the detergent spout!

www.amazon.com

It can fit detergent spouts that are 1.7" in diameter.

Promising review: "I love these. I wish I knew about them sooner! I was always keeping towels under my laundry soap for when the soap would drip. But now I don’t need to. Must buy." —Amanda A.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.99. 

3. A milk frother if you really wanna take your coffee game to the next level, especially if you're spending a lil' too much at Starbucks. With the push of a button, you'll be able to add some ~frothy deliciousness~ to any drink (even if you use non-dairy milk)!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Don't forget the AA batteries!

Promising reviews: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle

"Wish I would have found this little gadget sooner! Love it. I use a keto creamer that doesn’t blend well with my coffee. Not an issue anymore!!" —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in dozens of styles/colors).

4. A pack of carborundum sponges so wonderfully effective, you'll wish you'd found them earlier in life. Say goodbye to caked-on stains and grime. Gone are the days of spending way too long hunched over the sink scrubbing!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I love these! What a lifesaver, my pans were looking so sad. I wanted to buy new pans. Wish I had known about this product sooner, [it's] been a struggle trying to keep my pans looking clean and new rather than all grungy. This is a must-have product." —Leah

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.79+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

5. A pull-out spice organizer you'll be so glad to stumble on, considering how much you've struggled with your spice situation...until now. The installation is super quick and easy with just two screws. When you pull this baby out, you'll find exactly what you need in no time.

www.amazon.com

The two screws needed for installation are included!

Promising reviews: "I have a tiny little galley kitchen, and all of my spices were jammed into one crowded shelf of a top cabinet. Whenever I needed to pull something out, it required a lengthy round of hide and seek, and it was generally a safe bet that several random jars were going to land on the counter, sometimes resulting in a shower of broken glass sprinkled all over whatever I was preparing. It was worth every penny. I installed it easily in just a few minutes, and it solved my problem and is a joy to use. It's sturdy as heck and extremely well made. I'm looking around for where else I can use one of their drawers, but sadly nothing else seems to lend itself to this simple, elegant solution." —LMc

"Installation was pretty easy; it took me about 15 minutes. The shelves glide in and out very smoothly and feel high-quality. It is so much easier to find what I'm looking for now. I wish I had gotten these sooner." —M. Nesbit

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in two styles, with one- or two-tiers, and in many sizes).

6. A cooktop cleaning kit when your stove has seen better days and needs all the help it can get. You'll be blown away by how well it lifts pesky grease stains and other messes, so much so that you'll have to find it in your heart to forgive yourself for not buying it sooner.

www.amazon.com

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

Apply a quarter-sized amount directly to a cool cooktop, rub with the included cleaning pad, then buff the surface and wipe it clean. You can use the included scraper tool to remove burnt-on food stains!

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 stovetop while you’re cooking?? This removes all of it. It doesn’t scratch your glass top stovetop 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).

7. A reusable screen-cleaning brush, which might make you question how you ever cleaned the screens BEFORE you discovered this amazing gadget. Now you can get rid of all the caked-on grime and bugs for good! These are the kinda results that'll have you singing, "A whoooole new world" as you look out your clean screens.

www.amazon.com

It can be used as a handheld brush or you can use the detachable, long-reach handle that extends to 9 inches. The double-sided brush can be used wet or dry and is reusable! Just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses.

Promising review: "This is magical – my screen doors have never been so clean. Wish I had gotten this sooner! I used a multipurpose cleaner on the brush and the screen, brushed it in all directions on both sides of the screen, and rinsed the brush between each set of doors. I’ll definitely be making this part of my monthly cleaning schedule. Highly recommend!" —JuRiese Colon

Get it from Amazon for $18.99.

8. An auto-shutoff outlet so you don't have to spend half the day worrying about whether you remembered to unplug that one appliance. Put this in your outlet, plug in your device, and set the timer. The only second thought you'll have is about how you survived without this.

www.amazon.com

You can set the timer on this for one, two, four, or eight hours, or just put it on hold.

Promising review: "I'm very pleased with this. I use it mainly for at-home hair styling. I often like to leave my styling wand on for last-minute touch ups before leaving early in the morning but, in haste, I often get on the freeway and worry that I forgot to unplug it. No more worries with this attached to the plug. I wish I'd gotten it sooner." —JDubya

Get it from Amazon for $12.39.

9. A lid organizer to ensure a pile of lids won't come tumbling down when you open the cabinet. Plus, the dividers are adjustable, so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have. You're gonna be so impressed that you thought of this the next time you open a cabinet!

Amazon

YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions.

Promising review: "I was looking for a way to organize my messy lid situation. It was driving me wild. I finally decided to buy one of these after it sat in my cart forever. I should have bought one sooner! I love it! Now all my lids are organized, and I’m never having to deal with the lid hassles. It is very sturdy and holds a lot. I did get the larger one, which I’m glad I did. I’ve been using it for a month and so far it seems very durable. I absolutely recommend this product." —J. H.

Get a large size from Amazon for $19.99 (available in four sizes).

10. A WD-40 pen if you're desperate to fix annoying squeaky hinges but don't want a big, greasy mess on your hands. This lil' pen just might make you believe in miracles, especially if you've had the pleasure of using the can version that always leaks everywhere — the worst.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My doors were squeaky forever but I didn’t want to spray WD-40on my door hinges and have it drip down. These pens were perfect – you can get just the right amount of liquid exactly where you want it. I really wish I got this sooner instead of suffering from my squeaky doors!" —Ayumi Hatai

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.49.

11. A large capacityrotating makeup organizer that'll improve your get-ready routine by a LOT. It can hold up to 60 makeup brushes and 30 skincare products! You'll feel like a certified genius whenever you give it a spin to find what you need (even if you should've bought it ages ago).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "You won't regret buying this! This product is a game-changer. It assembles in a snap without tools and the heights are adjustable – which is so handy! Having everything in one place and organized makes the morning makeup routine a breeze. Only wish I'd bought it sooner!" —Jeannine T.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two styles). 

12. A clear toy blocker for ~blocking~ out the thought of how much time you've wasted trying to retrieve lost toys from under the fridge, stove, etc. It comes in two heights, can be cut to fit your space, and the tape is removable *and* washable!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I am constantly retrieving dog toys from under my couch. So often, in fact, I think my dog does it on purpose. THESE BLOCKERS ARE AMAZING. Every time she tries to push her ball under the couch, it pops right back. I wish I had gotten these sooner." —Evan Stark

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in various sizes).

13. A jar of *THE* Pink Stuff because sometimes you need a miraculous cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes. You'll be shocked by how easily it can lift the stains you've battled for years — everything from oven messes to shoe scuff marks to hard water stains in the shower.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I am speechless. I had burned-on crud on the glass door inside my oven. I literally took the product and put it on with a sponge, let it sit for 30 seconds, wiped it off with a hot-watered paper towel, and it wiped clean! I regret not taking before-and-after pictures. I have tried everything under the sun and regret not trying this sooner. I was skeptical because I saw it on TikTok. BUY IT!!!!!! Can’t wait to try it on the shower! [Best] stuff I’ve ever used!" —Courtney

"This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle), and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort, but not bad, and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It’s great. You won’t be disappointed." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a multipacks and in abundle with a scrubber sponge).

14. A pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows — who doesn't love hotel-quality comfort that comes with a budget-friendly price tag? Your head's about to feel like it's floating on a fluffy cloud. You may even struggle to get outta bed in the morning. Sorry/you're welcome.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Best sleep in YEARS. The only dislike I have is that I didn't order them sooner...but that's a dislike with myself, not the product. Somehow, these pillows are both THE softest AND most supportive pillows I have EVER slept on. I was having to meticulously stack my old pillows to get semi-comfortable, and with the Beckham Hotel Collection Pillows, I use one and find myself more comfortable than I could imagine. I intend on getting a couple more to keep in my and my wife's car for travel. Whether I'm napping in my car or napping in a hotel/motel, I'll be using these pillows only." —Amazon Customer

Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes).

15. Plus, an all-season down-alternative comforter you'll keep on your bed all year long, especially when you find out it's *actually* machine washable. There are reversible options, making it easy to switch it up when you need a change. It can also be used as a duvet insert with your preferred duvet cover. What more could you need?

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I bought this in white to use as a duvet insert. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner. This blanket is so warm, so easy to wash, and you can't beat the price. I have been using it for almost a year, and I absolutely love it." —Bridget Doherty

"It's so fluffy! As soon as I got it, I threw it in the dryer with some dryer sheets, and when it came out, it was fluffier than before. I threw it on my bed, and my dog immediately jumped up on it and hasn't left since. He enjoys it and so do I." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in eight sizes and six colors).

16. And!!! A reviewer-beloved set of deep-pocket bedsheets to keep you perfectly cozy while you sleep. You may even snooze your alarm once or twice — just take it from the 320,000+ 5-star reviewers who are low-key judging you for not buying 'em sooner.

Amazon

Promising reviews: "Why haven’t I purchased these sooner? Such great quality. Super affordable and most important super soft and cool." —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in 10 sizes and 45 colors).

17. A cereal dispenser when you're constantly scowling at the boxes taking up way too much room in your pantry. This is a much better storage option *and* your kids will be able to get their own dang cereal for a change. Yeah, you're gonna wish you jumped on this bandwagon a long time ago.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Each dispenser has a 17.5-ounce capacity and can keep contents fresh for up to 45 days!

Check out a TikTok of the cereal dispenser in action. 

Promising review: "I love this thing!!! My kids were constantly leaving cereal open or spilling it when they pour. This has been great. My 2-year-old loves that she can be independent and get her own cereal now. Bonus, it looks pretty too! Wished I would have purchased sooner. I also like that it has two containers so we can have two different kinds of cereal open but not stale." —Ashlee P

Get it from Amazon for $40.59 (also available in a bamboo style).

18. A pack of dual-sided shower curtain hooks because you don't have to struggle with changing curtains and liners for a moment longer. It's strong enough to support both *and* allows you to install or remove them in one fell swoop. Better late than never, amirite?

www.amazon.com

These rust-resistant hooks have a dedicated hook on each side – one for the curtain and one for the liner. They slide seamlessly on your shower curtain rod too, so no more snagging! 

Promising review: "Where has this product been my whole life!?! The only reason people don’t use this product is because they don’t know it exists. I will never go back to regular shower rings again. It is SO much easier to change out shower liners this way and takes maybe two minutes instead of the tedious waste of time that is unhooking the regular shower rings. I wish I had discovered this sooner. I highly recommend this for everyone and see no downside to it." —Resipsamew

Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in five colors and two styles).

I have tried many screen and glass cleaners in the past, and nothing comes anywhere close to the effectiveness of this. My only regret is not buying it sooner." —Chris W

Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in larger sizes).

20. A rechargeable *heated* ice cream scoop so you don't have to arm wrestle with a regular scoop to get your sweet treat fix.

Ya gotta wash it by hand, but that feels worth it! 

Check out a TikTok of the heated ice cream scoop in action.

I always used to have trouble scooping out the ice cream when it’s straight out from the freezer, but with this sweet little scoop, I can easily enjoy my ice cream while it’s still frozen without waiting for the ice cream to melt a lil' so that I could scoop it out or struggle with a spoon. Love love love this little gadget!!" —Aastha

RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional-grade cleaning solutions for your home.

Promising review: "Wish I had known about this sooner. After much useless cleaning attempts on my expensive and apparently non-replaceable patio umbrella cover, I tried this product and it removed 95% of the mildew stains on my cream umbrella cover. It looks great now! Thank you, RMR-86!" —Carol

Promising review: "We live in Florida, where it seems like it’s always tiny little black bug season.

Promising reviews: "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.

Promising reviews: "Why didn’t I get this sooner? Need more in my life." —Joan Rodriguez

"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 (also available in a four-pack). 

26. A pet hair removal broom with an adjustable, telescoping handle capable of pulling up GOBS of hair from your carpet or hard floors — regardless of how deep it's buried. Even if you keep a regular vacuuming schedule, this tool will make you realize you've been missing out BIG time.

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

The broom is made with 100% natural rubber that attracts hair. It can be used on carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum.

Promising review: "Because of my long hair and a cat, I vacuum daily. This product is so lightweight. I can run it over hardwood, tiles, and rugs easily. Picks up hair, dust, dry particles extremely well. It will get additional hair from rug after vacuuming. I can skip a day with just a quick sweep. I should have bought it sooner. I like the extension pole design." —Winter

Get it from Amazon for $34.16 (also available in other styles).

27. FryAway Waste Cooking Oil Solidifier Powder that'll make it much easier to dispose of leftover cooking grease. Sprinkle the powder in the oil while it's hot, let it cool, then scoop it into the trash. You'll soon wonder how you dealt with leftover grease before this revelation.

This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess!

BTW — These are a great swap for the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, which is pretty much *always* sold out.

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

"I have seen these on every clean-tok page and I finally caved. I honestly wish I had sooner because these are AMAZING. I don't know how they do it, but these things grab up every last bit of dust and dirt off those hard to reach/annoying places. They are also so easy to clean and maintain, so they are built to last you for a while." —Christine O'Gara

29. A pack of kitchen sink strainers if you're done fishing out smelly food bits from the drain. Place it in the opening and remove it when it's time to toss the scraps in the trash. Why you don't already own this is beyond comprehension, tbh.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wished I had bought these sooner! So much better than any of the plastic/rubberized ones that stain. These metal strainers do not move around and they catch so much gunk that doesn't go down the drains now. Easy to clean in the sink with a brush or throw them in the dishwasher on occasion to clean. I've had these for a few months now and they are just as shiny as the day I bought them and they keep so much debris from going down the drains. Very useful items." —RSU

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.99.

30. A heat-resistant masher (up to 447 degrees!) to greatly reduce your cooking time by breaking up ground meat more efficiently with *five* sharp pinwheel blades. It's nonstick and dishwasher-safe! You can also use it for mashing potatoes, tomatoes, salsa, and more.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I wish I would have bought this so much sooner! I feel like every cook needs this in their kitchen. This is so helpful, especially when trying to break up other meats than beef — nothing breaks down the same way beef does and tends to stay in big chunks. This handles everything like a dream! Excellent purchase! Very well made — not flimsy at all. Super high quality!" —TAV

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in seven colors and as a two-pack).

31. Wad-Free pads so your laundry doesn't get tangled, wrinkled, or require additional drying cycles.

You'll save yourself time and money with this clever invention — even if you are a bit late to the game! 

Amazon

Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. 

Promising review: "This does what it says. I've gone to the dryer so many times to find my sheets and blankets in a balled-up type blob. I have to unwrap everything and start the dryer again since it is all damp still...and usually had to repeat this another time to finally have the items dried. Wasting so much electricity for a number of drying cycles. The first time I used this product, it alleviated this issue. Everything was dry and not balled up. Fantastic product! I wish I would have found it sooner in my life. I think this will be stocking stuffers for my siblings this year." —Dan Smith

Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available as a set of four).

32. A crack weeder tool that'll help obliterate those ever-resilient weeds that manage to grow through the cracks in concrete! This sturdy tool will get into those suuuper tight spaces and get rid of weeds, moss, and thistles so quickly, you'll kick yourself for not buying sooner.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a brick patio that is a big older. Truthfully, the entire patio should be taken up and redone as there are large spaces between some of the bricks. Grass, weeds, and moss grow between a lot of the bricks. I was able to clean up all the weeds and make the patio look 100 times better using this! I wish I would have bought this sooner! Prior to using this tool, I did spray vegetation killer on the weeds and grass between the bricks, which made for an easy cleanup. —Robyn C.

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

Promising reviews: "I bought these to replace paper towels, and I don't regret it. These are great for use in the kitchen. I will purchase more." —Shannon I

"Wish I'd known about these sooner! I tried a few others, none better than a washcloth, which is obviously subpar for cleaning kitchen counters, etc. Then I saw rave reviews for this waffled item. They’re great; fully absorbent, rinse well quickly, and hold up to a number of washings and no shrinkage. I’ve only had them less than a month but am a full convert. We haven’t used a paper towel since." —Californiamom
