54 Simple Home Products That’ll Help You Make Some Serious Improvements In 2025New Year’s resolutions don’t *just* have to focus on self-improvement — why not channel some of that motivation into upgrading your space too.

1.

An ultra-thin socket cover with an attached power strip — the cover lays flat so you can actually push your furniture up against the wall. It also looks *much* cleaner and is easier to hide while still giving you access to multiple outlets for your devices!

amazon.com

Sleek Socket is a small biz focused on sleek power outlet solutions for the home!

Promising reviews: “I use these all over my house and it makes every room look incredibly neat and organized.” —Emma Keer

“I didn’t realize how much I wanted these until I bought them and placed them behind a shelving unit. They occupy very little depth, and I could essentially push the shelving unit flush up against the wall (almost). Felt so much better than seeing it jutting out a couple of inches. Highly recommend!” —Sjn007

Get it from Amazon for $23.95+ (available in four sizes and two styles).

2. A compact cutlery organizer cleverly designed to maximize your drawer space with stacked, angled compartments that take up waaay less space than the typical wide, flat organizers. Considering how many times a day you open this drawer, you’ll be able to appreciate this space-efficient organization on the reg.

See this “life-changing” drawer organizer on TikTok! 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Chelsea Stuart has used this cutlery organizer to make her kitchen feel more organized: “It has freed up SO much space in our cutlery drawer that we can now store teas, small Tupperware, etc. vs. before it was just a mess of utensils.”

Promising review: “I had never seen this before I bought it, and holy crap it changed my life. So. Much. Room. There is so much room left in my drawer now that I moved stuff from another drawer and I have an entirely empty drawer in my kitchen now. Now only HALF the drawer is silverware and the other half is spatulas and cooking utensils. It is great. It also seems very sturdy. Highly recommend.” —van31050

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

3. A mold and mildew remover gel to address the gross buildup in the crevices of your bathroom so you can stop cringing every time guests use your shower. Just apply it to the affected areas, leave it alone for 6–8 hours, and *poof* — those unsightly black stains will be nowhere in sight. 
Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

I put this to the test on a gross, mold-stained corner of my own tub — I’ve scrubbed and scrubbed that area previously, and simply couldn’t get the stains out until I used this stuff. As you can see above, I put on gloves (which is recommended on the packaging) and simply applied a thin strip to the area with black spots, then let it sit for six hours. After that point, all you do is rinse and check out the results! I didn’t need to do a second application, but if you’re dealing with some particularly tough stains, you can reapply as needed.

Promising review: “Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We’ve had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We’ve scrubbed with what seems like a million different products with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately, when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight, and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It’s incredible. It’s 1,000% worth the (small) investment. Seriously — just buy this. It’s amazing!!” —Nicole D.

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

4. A pack of adhesive cable clips that’ll straighten out that mess of cords tangled behind your home office desk that you’ve been trying very hard not to think about.

Promising review: “Fixes a problem I didn’t know how to fix! Keeps cords where I want them and prevents them from falling behind my nightstand. Especially helpful with working from home. Get them! You won’t be disappointed.” —Ally

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $6.97.

5.

A Squatty Potty if you’re tired of spending so long in the bathroom. This handy tool props your feet up at the proper angle for a natural squat, which helps things *ahem* exit your body much, much easier.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I’ve struggled with the #2 for the last couple of years. I’ve gone from Defecating Toxic Avenger to ‘Dear GOD! I feel like I’m passing the Twin King Guardian Statues’. It’s been a sphincter nightmare. No matter what I tried: prunes, more water, high fiber, Taco Bell, even White Castle — nothing was working. Usually, in a three-week interval, I’d get very sick and spend three to four hours going to the bathroom nine or 10 times. After my sphincter would be tender and I’m damn near positive if this had gone on, it would be the end of me. Then I saw this. I decided to go ahead and plunk down the $25. By day two of using it, I started to feel better and my cramps were gone. I swear to god, when I go on my next road trip, I’m taking the damn thing with me, and IDGAF if my friends laugh at me. This damn thing may have saved my health and possibly my life.” —DJ_Malsidious

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

6. Leather Honey conditioner to breathe new life into your well-worn leather boots, couch, or chairs. This nontoxic, non-oily conditioner softens and moisturizes your leather goods, and it’ll also protect them against snow and rain thanks to the water-repellent formula.

The formula is also water, snow, and rain repellent, so it’ll build a layer of protection for your belongings to last longer. It can be used on leather shoes, accessories, interiors, furniture, upholstery, saddles, jackets, and tack.

Promising review: “I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. I’m not always gentle with my boots, and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey, and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!” —David Horning

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

7. A set of bed bands so you can cinch those bed corners tight and keep your sheets and mattress pad from sliding right off the bed, especially if you (or your bedmate) tend to toss and turn at night.

Bed Band is a US-based small business that specializes in bed bands for mattresses of various sizes. 

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 pack of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in standard and extra-long sizes, multiple packs, and in black, white, and pink).

8.

A 33-inch dryer vent cleaner kit because yes, the machine that gets your clothes and bedsheets clean has been building up dust, dirt, and lint over the years. This connects right to your vacuum to suck all the gunk out of your vents.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This is the only thing that works to adequately clean the lint trap in my dryer without dissembling it. Happy so far.” —Bonnie J. Patterson

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three colors).

9.

An investmentworthy Zadro towel warmer so you always have a steaming-hot towel at the ready when you get out of the shower to warm you right up. Your body won’t even have the CHANCE to get cold.

Amazon

Promising review: “Absolutely my favorite thing purchased from Amazon. You will never be able to take a shower without this once you have it. Just like right-out-of-the-dryer towels!” —Erin

Get it from Amazon for $120.24+ (available in nine colors).

10.

A super-strong scum and grime remover capable of dissolving the caked-on soap scum and grime that’s taken up residence on your tub and shower doors — oh, so *that’s* what my bathtub is supposed to look like.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Sharing our nasty before picture so you can really see the difference! Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom, and scum and dirt cakes on there so easily. The only way I’ve been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch, I’ve spent hours and all it ever got was somewhat clean — never enough for me to want to take a real bath in it. This stuff is expensive but with the good reviews, I decided to try it. it works amazingly!! I sprayed it on (it came with a great spray nozzle and a lid) and left it for about 15–20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles (I believe a soft brush would have even worked) and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing the entire tub and walls, it was cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost, like, melted off. It smells pleasant, it’s not crazy strong smelling but in an enclosed space I still felt the need to wear a mask while cleaning. The before picture is how the tub has looked forever and normally looks if cleaned with any cleaner/brush. The white spot towards the left with the brush next to it is where I tried a little area first. The second picture is after 20 minutes of work and I’m definitely taking a bath instead of a shower tonight!” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available with and without the sprayer, and in two sizes).

11.

A set of 3D-printed under-cabinet tool holders for mounting your mixer attachments — because we love them, but they’re kind of awkwardly shaped and tricky to store elsewhere. Plus, when you’re scrambling to switch from your beater to your whisk, you don’t need to be scrummaging around your cabinets trying to find where you left it last.

McMaster3D on Etsy

McMaster3D is a Langhorne, Pennsylvania-based Etsy shop that specializes in 3D printing.

Promising review: “Great item! Loved how they allowed me to organize my attachments and freed up some bulk in my drawers. They send Command Strips along with the product so you can attach basically anywhere, under the bottom cabinet or under a shelf in the cabinet. Would highly recommended if you are looking to organize your KitchenAid attachments.” —jaki1281

Get the set of three from McMaster3D on Etsy for $11+ (available in 12 colors). 

12.

A super bubbly Glisten drain and pipe cleaner if the thought of what’s lurking inside your garbage disposal haunts you at night. It’s made to deodorize while also removing the nasty grunge and buildup lurking within — no more gnarly smells or dirty water that just won’t drain.

amazon.com

Promising review: “It not only works but also provides a satisfying cleaning experience. Deep cleans, removes buildup, and the lemon scent is a bonus. Five stars for a satisfyingly effective product!” —Tasha

Get two packs (with eight total uses) from Amazon for $7.56 (available in multiple pack sizes).

13. Clear fridge organizing bins for stashing your produce, drinks, and more. It won’t just make your fridge look like something out of a magazine; it’ll also help you get through all that expensive food you bought before it goes bad thanks to the clear design that lets you see everything at a glance. Promising review: “Ok, I’m a bit of an over-organizer (if there is such a thing). But my refrigerator was seriously lacking in organization. These beauties did the trick. No more fruit rolling around, grapes being crushed, cheese sticks everywhere, cold cuts hiding. I love them. And they make keeping the refrigerator clean easy, pop them out and rinse.” —DLWH

Get a set of eight bins for $20.99 (also available in other sets).

14. A dishwasher-safe silicone soup cube tray to seriously up your meal prep game. Each slot is big enough to hold one serving of soup, broth, stew, or sauce so that when you’re ready to whip up a meal, you can save yourself a *ton* of time by just reheating one of these.Amazon

Souper Cubes is a family-run small business with a passion for better frozen meal prep and food waste reduction! Plus, their products are BPA-free, dishwasher-safe, and it have fill lines on the side of the compartments for half and full cups.

Promising review: “I’m extremely happy with my Souper Cubes! I cook chili and soup and always make too much, having the ability to freeze serving-size portions is perfect. Saves time and food quality by not having to thaw it all each time I want another serving. High quality and since it’s silicone and not rigid plastic it won’t crack in the freezer. Highly recommend!” —Alexander S. Waterman

Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in four colors and a two-pack with a sprinkle design).

15.

And a lasagna pan with three separate compartments so you can cook three dishes at once, or tweak the ingredients slightly for each one (especially if some people have dietary restrictions or preferences). You’ll be making excuses to use this pan for how versatile it is!

amazon.com, amazon.com

This is made with an easy-release, silicone-based nonstick coating. The pan is dishwasher-safe, but hand-washing is recommended to extend product life.

Promising review: “We already use several Chicago Metallic pans for bread and they’re fantastic! This one was just like them, easy-release, hard to scratch, and a long-lasting nonstick surface. It’s heavy enough to cook evenly, and all-around great. It’s about 2 3/4 inches at the very bottom, angling out to maybe 3 inches at the top of each channel. We wouldn’t want to put this in the dishwasher, although they say you can. The nonstick is really very good. Plus, the lip makes it a whole lot easier to lift in and out of the oven.” —Craig L.

Get it from Amazon for $22.99.

16.

A set of magnetic decorative hinges to bring a vintage-y touch to your garage doors. They attach magnetically and add that classic carriage house style to ~elevate~ your home’s aesthetic.

amazon.com

Promising review: “The only thing I don’t like is that kids think they are real and walk up and try to hang on the handles, which obviously just come right off. I have to admit it’s hysterical, it does teach the kids to quit messing around with things they shouldn’t because they think they break them… it’s downright comical. Other than that, you would never know they are magnetic. They stay on, you can pull them off easily to wash the doors and then just put right back on. Heavy rains and they didn’t come off. It’s -20 degrees outside now, and they’re still stuck on with no problems. I got three sets — one double door and one single door, looks perfect.” —Rummy3

Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles; faux windows also available if you want to replicate the look above).

17.

A hard-working jar of The Pink Stuff, an internet-beloved, all-purpose cleaning paste made to tackle stains, dirt, and grime practically anywhere. Put it to the test on that pan, bathtub, or wall you’ve long given up on and watch this versatile paste work its magic.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. Just buy it. I have never loved a cleaning product so much. Just moved into a new house and my oven and stove both set the fire alarm off every time. No product (organic or chemical) could get them fully clean except this stuff. I was ready to buy a whole new oven because I couldn’t stand it. I have now gone on a cleaning spree and have used this to remove the rust on my kitchen sink, marker from a dresser (darn kids), grout in the bathroom. The list goes on. I would probably still use a Magic Eraser on painted wood/walls because this is pretty abrasive but other people have done it and had success. The smell/scent is so minimal. Didn’t even notice it. It’s so easy to use. Some things will require more elbow grease than others but that should be expected with any cleaning product. AND this is 99% natural and non-toxic! This part seems too good to be true because of how well it cleans.” —NYC Livin

Get it from Amazon for $5.49.

18.

A pack of stain-removing, nontoxic Keurig cleaning cups if your morning cup of joe is starting to taste a little funky. Just run a regular cycle using one of these bad boys, and it’ll remove the built-up grinds and residue without you needing to lift a finger.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn’t know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big Mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it’s still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues.” —Mads0421

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a 12-pack and 18-pack).

19.

A very handy USB candle lighter that’ll just fuel your candle obsession even more. No more burned fingers, no more throwing away disposable lighters when they run out — you can charge up this little guy over and over (though a single charge will last you a while) and use its long neck to light wicks without you getting anywhere close.

Heather Braga / BuzzFeed, Amazon

Promising review: “This is seriously the coolest device of my winter holiday. It makes lighting candles a breeze. Yes, there is a weird crackling noise, but that’s a super-minor annoyance. It’s a super-intuitive device. Plug the lighter in with the USB (included), charge for a bit, then pop it open and light ALL THE THINGS; well, candles. I don’t know how well it lights cigarettes or whatever. However, for my personal intended use, it’s awesome!” —Jee W

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 11 colors).

20.

A jetted bathtub cleaner (appropriately named ‘Oh Yuk’) to clean up your bathtub, jetted tub, or whirlpool so you can go back to relaxing without worrying about dirty soap buildup, leftover oils, and black flakes. Even if you *think* your jetted tub is clean, you might be shocked at the gunk that’s lurking in your jets.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.

Promising review: “This is amazing! I have never left a review but this stuff worked so well I thought it deserves one. I moved into a house that had a jetted tub. I cleaned it with bleach and other cleaners and it still just did not seem clean. I would fill the tub up with clean water and when I turned on the jets occasionally something black and flat would come out. I refused to use the tub and I was about to replace it. This showed up when I was searching tub cleaners and I said I would give it a try. It’s super easy to use just fill up the tub with hot water pour a little cleaner in and turn the jets on for 15 minutes. When you come back after the 15 minutes it’s up be prepared for the yuck you will see!!! It is truly an awesome product.” —A

Get it from Amazon for $18.73.

21.

A set of nonstick oven liners, because scraping burnt food off the bottom of your oven is a task no one wants to spend time doing. They’re easily cut if needed to match your oven size and even easier to clean — just rinse them off or toss in the dishwasher for a deeper wash!

Amazon

Promising review: “I expected to be happy, but I’m thrilled! Each mat is pliable and fits the entire width of my standard oven. When the mat is against the back wall, it extends up to but not over the front lip of the floor. On first use, pizza cheese and sauce dripped onto the front edge of the mat and onto that uncovered lip. The baked-on cheese and sauce slid right off the mat! Effortlessly! After I cleaned up the lip, I layered a second mat to cover the lip. These mats are so great that I almost want food to drip on them so I can show off how wonderful they are.” —Artset Outset

Get a pack of three from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a combo pack).

22.

A watermark remover cloth to rescue your wood furniture from the white rings and haze from years of use — it can also help conceal scratches, remove marker stains, and restore the finish to its former glory.

amazon.com

You can also use it for polishing metal and chrome!

Promising review: “This table has been in my family for 60+ years, the watermarks were not horrible but they always bugged me. This product works!!! Needs elbow grease but well worth it!!! I really don’t know how it works but it does.” —Sandra Mercer

Get it from Amazon for $6.61.

23.

An easily installed TV wall mount if the whole concept of studs and anchors is something you can’t quite wrap your head around — with just some small nails and about 10 minutes, you’ll have your mount ready to go, capable of holding TVs up to 80 inches!

Amazon

My bf and I have used a similar kit to wall mount our TV in the past and trust me, you’ll be amazed at just how easy it is. If your TV is currently sitting on top of an entertainment center, mounting it frees up so much space on top for other stuff (game consoles, decor, etc.); plus, it just looks so much nicer and less cluttered when a TV is mounted IMO!

Promising review: “This product is extremely easy to install yourself on almost any type of wall because it distributes the weight so well. It works on drywall or plaster. I double checked the position by sliding the provided level across the wall and started by putting one nail in the center and then carefully at one end using the level. Once I was sure it was level, I carefully put in a half dozen more. You don’t need to use all of the nails provided! After I hung the TV I realized that one side seemed a little higher than the other and I took the TV off and realized I just needed to make sure the screws on the back of the TV were positioned properly.” —Venona

Get it from Amazon for $31.89+ (available for TVs 26″–80″).

24. Some acoustic wood slat paneling to create that accent wall you’ve been dreaming of, adding some nice natural texture while also helping insulate the space to reduce noise (so it’s popular for a TV room, but you could also put it in an office, entryway, or anywhere else)!

Wayfair, Laura / Wayfair

Promising review: “This wall panel was a game changer for my decor idea! Very tall box but arrived in perfect condition and extremely easy to assemble once unpackaged. I did have this slightly trimmed to fit flush to the wall. The color is vibrant and looks exactly like the photos and real wood. I used a nail gun to attach to the wall, and so far, it has held up perfectly. Exceeded my expectations and a great accent to my living room.” —Jainessa

Get it from Wayfair for $152.99 (available in six finishes).

25.

A pack of light-dimming stickers designed to cover up those gosh darn blinking lights keeping you up in the middle of the night.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light, and every night I’ve blocked the light with a cover so it doesn’t shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim, I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game changer!! For the first night EVER I didn’t have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I’m more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in sharpie, etc, but true to the name of these products if you’re looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also, the product is easy to remove and doesn’t leave a sticky residue at all, which can’t be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you’re trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!” —Logan M

Get a sheet of over 100 dimming stickers (in multiple sizes and shapes) from Amazon for $4.59.

26. A brilliant power scrubber brush that straight-up attaches to a drill to handle all the muscle power of cleaning for you. If you’ve got stains, hard-water marks, and mold and mildew buildup that you just haven’t been able to get rid of, this could be the thing that finally does the trick.If you happen to need a drill, here’s a good Black & Decker one. And check out our Drill Brush attachment review for more on just how well it works!

Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!

Drill Brush is a small business based in New York that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.

Promising review: “Impressed is an understatement. I am SHOCKED and amazed by how awesome this product is. I don’t know how I’ve lived without it up until now. I used to spend literally an hour on my hands and knees scrubbing the shower to get it clean (we have a shower with a textured floor and it’s impossible to get clean). Even spending that long scrubbing, it was never perfect. I would avoid cleaning the shower for as long as possible because it was so unpleasant. Enter the drill brush. I attached it to our cordless drill and went to town with some all purpose bathroom cleaner spray. I am not kidding you — I cleaned the entire shower in less than 15 minutes. SPOTLESS. With no intense scrubbing or effort on my part. You need this product in your life, seriously.” —Carolyn Hall

A microfiber blinds duster for gently cleaning those sneaky window blinds and air vents that have built up SO much dust over time. Instead of trying to go in on each individual blind with a dust rag, you can quickly and easily run this tool over two blinds at once, and you’re not putting direct pressure on them that could risk breaking them.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not any more! With this product, you can clean two slats at once and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal ‘mini’ blinds. Additionally, the microfiber ‘sleeve’ that fits on the tool is washable and it comes with five of them so it’s a real value, being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!” —Sandy D

Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99.

28.

A super-soft beanbag cover that makes clever storage for all of the kids’ plush toys, or your seasonal pillows, blankets, and towels — anything that would make a soft filling. When closet space is at a premium, this’ll come in clutch *and* provide some comfy seating.

Amazon

Promising review: “These are perfect for any kids’ room! I was getting so tired of messy stuffed animals and blankets all over so it’s nice to have them out of sight but still easily accessible. My 2-year-old loves to sit on hers and read books. She doesn’t have a ton of stuffed animals so there is plenty of room to add to it for when her collection grows. I love the fun bright print and sturdiness — she drags it all over the ground but I don’t worry about it tearing at all. Just what she needed in her room.” —dd

Get it from Amazon for $26.98+ (available in 28 colors and in three sizes).

29. An eco-friendly oven scrub, because that baked-on grease and food from years ago is no match for this all-natural paste. It’s handmade with a blend of plant- and mineral-derived ingredients, like eucalyptus, lemon, and peppermint essential oils; pumice stone; and baking soda.

Everneat / Etsy, Everneat / Etsy

Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based Etsy shop filled with natural cleaning products and tools.

Promising review: “LOVE IT! Oven door is a constant struggle. I hate chemical cleaners, so I thought I would try this. I bought the Lift scent and the unscented. The Lift smells fantastic, natural, not chemically, and the Clear truly is unscented. Works beautifully! I think the combo of grit in the scrub plus the metal scrubbie are magic together. I wore nitrile gloves and the scrubbie did end up poking a hole in them, so keep that in mind if you just got a mani or don’t want rough nails — use thick gloves. It does require elbow grease, because, hello, baked on bits of grease! But was very simple to use. Just smeared it on, added a little H2O to the scrubbie and went to town. Very impressed! I used not even 5% of one jar (for just the very dirty door) so it seems like it will last a while. Way better than BKF and wipes off easily. LOVE IT!!” —aniebauer

Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $20 or Amazon for $25.99 (includes free shipping at Amazon; available in three scents and in a glass or plastic jar; refills also available).

A genius faucet splash catcher, because I don’t know about you, but water is *constantly* pooling up around my faucet and splashing onto the counter. This absorbent mat catches all the moisture and keeps the surface around your faucet dry and clean. No more gross standing water!

Hustle & Sew / Etsy

A versatile Katzco Furniture Repair Kit that comes with everything you need to give your wooden furniture, doors, and fixtures a touch-up, including six markers and six wax sticks in a variety of shades for color-matching.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Despite our consistent efforts, it took almost a year to teach our new dog to not jump up on the back door. And as you can see in the first picture, he managed to do a lot of scratching. That’s why I bought this marker kit, to repair those scratches. I used ‘oak,’ a lighter color, on the scratches. I did have to go over them again to completely cover them. That’s what you see in the second picture, and it took me about 10 minutes total. I bought the kit with the wax crayons as I hoped to fill in the scratches too, I read in another review that it’s possible but takes a lot of work. Unless I’m looking for the defects, I no longer notice the scratches (and mind you, these are at eye level) so this did the job I wanted.” —P. Ratliff

A super-intense grout cleaner if the grout on your tile floors and walls is so dirty, you’ve forgotten what it used to look like. This heavy duty cleaning can remove years of stains to unearth your grout’s original color beneath. Prepare to be like 🤯 when you see it.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “We moved into our house a year ago and I’ve been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. I’ve tried everything — store products, DIY solutions, Pinterest recommendations, you name it. As a last resort I got this and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent’s not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this.” —Britney Phillips

Or a handy grout pen to brighten up the old grout on your tile floors or shower walls — a far easier and cheaper alternative to having it professionally regrouted.

amazon.com

Just a note, this does take some elbow grease and time to actually do, but in comparison to actually regrouting your whole floor — this is a total time-saver.

Promising review: “I just bought my first house and because of COVID I have not had the funds I wanted to fix it up. This pen was cheap and the backsplash in my new kitchen was an eyesore. I wasn’t expecting much because of the price but I am absolutely stunned. My kitchen looks so much better! It was easy to use, no odor, and quick! I did two coats because the color was dark brown. Some places I did more but I didn’t mind doing it because it was actually really satisfying. I used one pen for the area plus some. Definitely recommend this product!” —Kim

A roll of very handy window screen repair tape so you can patch up tears in your screen door until you’re ready to replace the whole thing.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This RHO screen repair tape is fabulous and simple to use! Just cut to size, pull off the clear protective film, and press onto the tear or hole in your screen. That’s it! There are 15 feet on a roll and it couldn’t be easier. I’ve patched my screened porch now in five to six spots and while the tape is visible, it prevents bugs from crawling through, which was my goal. If you don’t have the time, money, or inclination to completely replace a screen, this is the perfect solution…and the fastest! Will buy again in a heartbeat if I run out of this roll.” —sallywally

A natural, plant-based cleaner made to dissolve soap scum, grime, streaks, makeup spills, and pretty much any sort of mess you might need to tackle in your bathroom. The best part is the eucalyptus and tea tree scent it’ll leave behind afterward.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I’ve never been able to get out and was thinking something ‘natural’ wouldn’t be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with only a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference.” —Katherine Cheng

37. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that can remove the nasty buildup inside your dishwasher that’s looking so gross, you might be thinking about replacing the machine entirely. Just add a tablet, run a normal wash cycle, and watch lime and mineral buildup disappear, leaving your dishwasher looking brand-new.Promising review: “My brand new LG dishwasher has stopped draining on several occasions. I recently noticed that there was an egg-ish odor and I had no clue how to fix this without hiring someone to come out for a service call and drop a minimum of $100. I bought this product, used once (put on very bottom of dishwasher) and ran without dishes. Very happy to see that the water was gone and my machine smells great. DEF worth buying because I think it unclogged pipes or something.” —rebecca cohen

A bottle of drywall repair putty so you can cover up the evidence of all those failed attempts to hang things, because having stray holes all over your walls isn’t exactly ideal.

Amazon

Promising review: “Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed — this cuts the time/effort down! Just rub over the place in need of patching and wipe off the excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former Wi-Fi router and modem, other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use.” —Amanda

39. Therapy Premium Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish, a plant-based cleaner that’ll get your stainless steel appliances looking brand new. Goodbye smudges, dust, dirt, and oil — hello, clean surfaces and a lovely lavender scent.

Britt Ross / BuzzFeed

You’ll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle.

Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products boasting cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents.

My former colleague Brittany Ross says, “I don’t know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless-steel edges of my oven, too.”

A mildew remover to get your patio furniture and other outdoor surfaces in tip-top shape after sitting outside with exposure to the elements. This formula cleans away mildew and mold without any heavy scrubbing needed. Just spray down whatever you’re trying to clean, let it sit, then rinse it off with a hose to finish the job!

amazon.com

Promising review: “I don’t often write a review of a product. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we’d take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad a before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean.” —Christine A. Simonson

43. A stain and odor eliminator you should have on hand (especially if you have pets) for when you locate that latest carpet accident. Not only does it lift away stains; it also releases enzymes that break down the deep and persistent smells left behind.Carpet messes are undoubtedly the worst to clean up, but you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for noncarpet use. 

Promising review: “I honestly have no idea how we managed without this product before. We’ve tried most everything, from carpet cleaners to products that just cover scent. Nothing truly worked or lasted to get the cat urine odor out of our carpets. We were at our wit’s end when it began to happen in our own room — one corner of the room has become nearly unbearable. We didn’t even want to enter our own room. I purchased this product as a Hail Mary, hoping the positive reviews were true. THEY ALL UNDERSTATED THIS PRODUCT!! My fiancĂ© followed the instructions down to the T and the smell is COMPLETELY GONE. Not even the slightest hint of urine anymore. I admit, I’m more of a citrus/floral girl for smells so this more minty scent isn’t my style, but the fragrance doesn’t linger too long. But what remains is a completely neutralized smell. In addition, the carpet seems generally cleaner. I am so grateful to this product.” —Amazon Customer

Promising review: “Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It’s a messy process, but well worth the time and energy.” —MM

It lets you stack things more efficiently, looks neater, and will help you find what you need much more quickly.Promising review: “Love these acrylic shelf dividers! They make my closet look so neat and organized. I used them to divide shelves that hold my folded workout tops. I used a folding helper tool like the ones retail stores use, which gives my folded clothes a uniform width/look, and by using two dividers on each shelf, I can fit three stacks perfectly on my 30-inch wide shelves. I am ordering more to add to my shelves with sweaters!” —Aimee Lonergan

amazon.com

Promising review: “Hands-down the best product for electronics. I used it as soon as I received it on my older Sony LED TV. I have tried other products, but nothing cleaned it streak-free. It even had a fingerprint on the edge when it was installed and nothing would remove that fingerprint, except this product. Love it and will be buying more. I would love to include a photo, but it’s so clean and streak-free now, it just looks like I took a picture of a black shiny wall.” —kat2004baby

A bottle of fast-acting, nontoxic Folex carpet spot remover to finally tackle that stain on your white carpet that simply won’t disappear — or rescue it in an emergency.

It’s worth keeping this on hand if you have pets or kids in the house.

amazon.com

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

Promising review: “I’m really disappointed I lived without this product for so long. I have an overpriced wool carpet that my dogs have destroyed with accidents, bully sticks, and just general recklessness. I gave up on this rug ever been clean again. I’ve had it professionally cleaned and tried a dozen things myself… and no difference. So I thought I’d try this assuming that it wouldn’t work on the stain-determined rug but that’d I use it on my less tenacious ones. I sprayed it on, reading the instructions saying that I didn’t need to scrub it, etc. And minutes later, freaking magic. My very pale blue and white rug is virginal. I admit that I did rub it in a little on the harsher stains/discoloration but there were plenty of areas that didn’t require any follow-up rubbing. I’m sincerely blown away and just ordered a second bottle. The price of this product is minimal if you’re looking to make your rug/carpet like new again so I would absolutely recommend trying it. I don’t think I’ve ever been this impressed with anything I’ve ever purchased. I feel cheated for not knowing about this sooner.” —bubbleslovesoap

Promising review: “Do I really need a tea bag organizer? That’s what I was thinking when I ordered this. And when I took it out of the box. And when I filled the first little bag holder. But, as the pile of empty boxes grew larger, I knew the answer was yes, I do need a tea bag organizer. I was using a whole shelf and a half of jumbled tea boxes that I had to sift through to look for a specific tea. In the end, I think this held about eight or nine boxes of tea bags (I crammed some of them). I am so happy that I got this!” —Sarah C.

A sturdy Mr. Scrappy Universal Garbage Disposal Brush to break up the caked-on gunk and debris clogging your garbage disposal. Goodbye, funky smells — hello, easy draining.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This product can be a major kitchen product if you have issues with odors in your garbage disposal. We eat a lot of cereals for breakfast and almost all are loaded with preservatives, which are like glue when they get wet. For two years, we could not get rid of a foul odor for more than a day or two. I purchased this as a last resort, but only expected it to help a little. The first time I used it, I was amazed at how much gunk was brushed away and the odor was reduced.” —C. D. Cornett

Reviewers say it works well for other types of stains as well, like dried blood, makeup, and food stains!

Promising review: “My friend spilled red wine on my white memory foam mattress. I tried multiple things and even went to Google home remedies and my nana’s good ol’ faithful hydrogen peroxide and baking soda but it did not touch it. I got desperate and turned to Amazon. I do not know how I have lived without this spray! It did take me spraying and scrubbing it twice but I could not believe how well it took the stain out. We use this spray for EVERYTHING now. My friend had a stain on his pants and we sprayed this on it and it instantly disappeared. He couldn’t believe it. This is now a go-to laundry must-have. Forget the OxiClean; I’m using this.” —alex

54. A Takeya cold brew maker so you can whip up a refreshing caffeinated drink whenever you please while saving money on those all-too-frequent Starbucks trips. This popular device boasts an airtight lid and stainless-steel filter designed to keep coffee fresh for up to two weeks!

Maitland Quitmeyer / BuzzFeed

I own this and it’s been worth every penny — it’s SO easy to use, and the coffee is equally delicious. I’ve loved having fresh cold brew anytime I like while working from home, especially during the warmer months. You just fill up the filter (which screws onto the lid) with your go-to ground coffee, fill the container with water, screw the filter-top on, shake for about 30 seconds to combine, and leave the whole thing in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Then, remove the filter from the pitcher and — BAM — you’ve got some delicious coffee. BTW, you can also use it to make hot coffee by adding boiling water.

See our full Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker review for more!

Promising review: “This is my absolute favorite way to have coffee now. The flavor of the cold brew is great and can be made in so many different ways! I’ve used the concentrate for lattes, iced coffee, and just regular hot coffee. It is also super easy to clean, and takes no time at all. This product comes apart easily, and goes back together easily. The size of this (I opted for the larger size) lasts me and my partner about a week. It does use two cups of ground coffee to work, which can be a lot. However, it’s meant to be a concentrate and lasts for awhile. I would definitely recommend!” —lily
