31 Quick-Fix Products That'll Make Your Home Look Way Better

1. A plant-based stainless-steel cleaner that’ll get rid of (and prevent) the streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints that are keeping your appliances from living up to the “stainless” in stainless steel.

amazon.com

Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business creating plant-based cleaning solutions from their very own factory in New Hampshire that just so happen to also smell amazing. 

It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth!

Promising review: “We got this product because, while stainless steel appliances look so nice when you first get them, as soon as you start using them, you get fingerprints galore. All of the ‘home remedy’ tricks we tried were annoying or so labor-intensive to be overly frustrating, so this product has been wonderful. It takes only a few minutes to clean all the appliances and make them look brand new again — great for when company comes over and you want to pretend like you always live in a magazine spread for home rather than the comfortable way you normally do :-)” —Anton Stocker

2. A cabinet door organizer so the pile of cutting boards permanently hanging out on your countertops will finally have a home where they’re organized, on hand, and, most importantly, out of sight.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This organizer is so useful! I recently moved and ended up with a much smaller kitchen, so I’ve been doing everything I can to make sure there’s a place for everything and no wasted space. Luckily, I have pretty wide cabinets, so this works out perfectly. I have one holding my cutting boards (four standard plastic boards) and another holding my foil, cling wrap, and parchment paper boxes. The organizer is super easy to assemble and it’s completely versatile. Hang it over the cabinet door or attach it to the wall/cabinet door, which means it’s great for renters and owners.” —Kerry

Get it from Amazon for $16.87 (also available in a two-pack).

3. A patented pet hair remover if Fido’s shedding is taking over your home. This roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to quickly catch lint, meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.

amazon.com

ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers.

Promising review: “Finally a lint roller that really works. Now I have an obsessed husband picking up German shepherd hair off the couch. Worth the price paid. It will pay for itself. No more sticky tape rollers!” —Blanca LInda Hatter

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

4. A large woven storage basket because all you need is an oh-so-stylish receptacle to make all your annoying clutter ~disappear~ like magic.

amazon.com

Follow the directions and keep the basket full for two days after receiving so it stays fluffed up and maintains its shape after shipping.

Promising review: “I was very pleased with this purchase. It’s made well and quite sturdy. I have two pillows, a blanket, and small quilt inside. It’s currently in my living room, holding those items for cold weather; once spring and summer return, I’ll use it in my guest room. I’m happy to know that’s it’s machine-washable, although I’ve had no need to clean it. It’s a fine addition to my home!” —pksommer

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

5. A peel-and-stick faux marble adhesive paper for giving your countertops an expensive-looking update on the cheap that doesn’t just look great, but is stain- and water-resistant too.

amazon.com

Promising review:I took a chance and bought this originally as a ‘Band-Aid fix’ to refinish a desk. I had looked in stores in the contact paper aisles, but all of them were just that…paper. THIS item is actually a thin sheet of vinyl with adhesive, and I ended up liking it so much I bought more and refinished my kitchen countertop with it as well! Highly recommended if you want to change the look of your counters but you don’t have the money for a full remodel just yet. It can be cleaned with dish soap and water just like a real countertop.” —Z

Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in six sizes).

6. A wood polish to turn back the clock on worn-out furniture with a combination of beeswax and orange oil that conditions and protects wood while also hiding dings and scratches.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This product is a MIRACLE! I can’t believe how well it worked. Seriously unbelievable. One application and my coffee table looks great again. EASY to use, nothing special required. While I was watching TV, I used an old cloth/rag and spread it on. As easy as that. Nothing else worked on my abused coffee table, this stuff did. I HIGHLY recommend this product.” —Carol L. Hill

Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

7. A fast-drying grout paint pen that’ll help you cover up years of dingy staining in your tile cracks without all the time-intensive scrubbing. Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities.

Promising review: “We’re delighted with this product. I have spent 15+ hours scrubbing grout without being able to get rid of stains. I can’t attest to longevity, but it looks great now! I had trouble with matching the color, but we decided it was better to be close and do the whole floor than have visible stained grout!” —Alex

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and additional colors).

8. A toothbrush station so you can clear the counter or cabinet space that’s currently dedicated to teeth-brushing tools and replace it with a wall-mounted unit that stores and dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste on your brushes every time. It’s much more sanitary than leaving uncovered brushes out *AND* it conveniently holds four rinse cups.

amazon.com

It holds five toothbrushes and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube. 

Promising review: “You need one! I love this! So easy to install and holds nice and tight to the wall. The toothbrushes sit nicely in the holder and are easy for my kids to grab. The two gargle cups are nice but we added little Dixie cups to ours instead. The toothpaste function works really well and isn’t messy for our kids. I highly recommend this!” —Sarah C.

Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors). 

9. A set of shelf dividers if you’ve got piles of jeans, towels, and leggings that always start organized but eventually just become one messy super pile.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I’m buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!” —Lynn Blue

Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99.

10. A 15-piece set of airtight dry food containers to bring a little organized calm to your pantry, while keeping food fresher for longer. You’ve let one too many boxes of cereal go stale — it’s time to break the cycle.

amazon.com

This set includes one tall container, four large, six medium, and four small containers. 

Promising review: “I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problem.” —R M

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).

11. A lightweight carpet shampooer that’ll lift years worth of caked-on stains (Fido’s contributions, included) and cut down on those exorbitant professional carpet-cleaning bills.

amazon.com

And it only weighs about 13 pounds — heavier-duty carpet cleaners usually weigh around 20 — so you won’t feel completely exhausted by the time you’re done with your living room.

Promising review: “I run dog services, boarding, and daycare out of my home. My carpet sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion. Love this Hoover! Holy moly! It picks up an INCREDIBLE amount of deeply embedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair. The difference in how much cleaner my carpet is after using it is OUTSTANDING!! I regularly vacuum and spot clean with other carpet cleaners and couldn’t fathom the filth I was actually living in after using the Hoover. It’s easy to assemble and lightweight, too. You can’t deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank. Easily the best purchase I have made for my small business! Very impressive!” —Patty DeCarlo

Get it from Amazon for $99.99

12. Plus, a machine cleaner-compatible carpet shampoo solution so you can return your floors and rugs to their original color without any harsh chemicals.

amazon.com

Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small biz that makes cleaning solutions with your kids, pets, and the planet in mind. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups.

FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here’s the one they are using in the review photo!

Promising review: “I never leave reviews, but this I had to! I have a 10-year-old carpet that I’m trying to make last as long as I can…because kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up? I cleaned my son’s carpet with this for the first time today, and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I’ve used have made the carpet smell like a wet dog while cleaning, and this didn’t! It smelled great the whole time! I’m hooked!!” —Megan Davis

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents).

13. A nonslip slatted bath mat if your fluffy bath mat is looking (and smelling) a little worse for wear. This one gives your bathroom an instant spa-like feel with an easy-to-clean renewable bamboo, which naturally repels water.

amazon.com

Promising review: “The material is great. It’s soft but flexible, so it feels comfortable to step on but also sturdy beneath your feet. I got a bigger size, and it actually pulls the room together, making my tiny bathroom look rather chic. Honestly, I think it’s great and better for the environment because I don’t have to launder it every week.” —JamieJo

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in five sizes and three colors).

14. A minimalist flip-down hanger for a sleek storage solution that cleverly doubles as modern art when not in use.

amazon.com

Promising review: “These hooks are functional and fun. There are five hooks for hanging your items. It’s plastic, not wood — the description states this. It’s easy to install and came with a paper ruler to use as a guide when installing. I have rain coats, umbrellas, sweaters, and dog leashes hanging on it and it’s holding well.” —M String

Get it from Amazon for $23.49+ (available in seven colors).

15. A reusable pumice stone to quickly remove stains and have your toilets, sinks, and tubs looking like new — no dingy rings in sight.

amazon.com

Promising review: “When we bought our previously owned condo, all three of the toilets had a permanent dark ring. I must have tried at least six different cleaning products that claimed to eliminate rings. None worked. I was actually considering buying new toilets as the ring was embarrassing to me. A friend recommended the pumice toilet bowl ring remover and I was prepared to be disappointed again. But it worked perfectly. The ring is gone on all three toilets and it only took a few minutes per toilet. I don’t know when I have ever been so totally satisfied with a product. It just saved me a whole lot of money and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my toilets.” —lynn mcdonald

Get it from Amazon for $11.45.

16. A set of two adhesive shower shelves that’ll help organize all your showertime clutter with enough space to handle every body wash, hair mask, and bubble bath in your arsenal. 

Promising review: “I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up, and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern, and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!” —Sara B

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in black and silver). 

17. Or a quick-dry shower curtain (or liner) with nine mesh pockets for all your lotions, potions, and loofahs if you’ve had one too many shampoo bottles attack you mid-shower.

amazon.com

Promising review: “We are apartment living, so no one in the household could take a shower without crash/boom as you’re knocking something down sitting on a shelf or the bathtub rim. This is a game changer. There are so many pockets with so much room in each I actually have space left over. My husband’s back scrubber, my shampoo and hair care, and my daughter’s bubble baths and bath floofies all fit with room to spare. And the pockets are all a nice height so I’m not crouching to find anything. The curtain is clear, so I didn’t have to change the ‘pretty’ one for decorative purposes. I am super pleased.” —goodnite.graci

Get it from Amazon for $13.91+ (available in gray and clear).

18. Easy-to-install wireless LED puck lights so you can get the custom lighting look without the custom lighting installation times or costs.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Each light requires three AA batteries, has dimming, auto-off/on, and timer features, and comes with screws and a double-sided adhesive pad for multiple mounting options. From the sounds of it, you’ll need to remove the lights from time to time to replace the batteries, so consider using hook and loop strips to make removing and reaching easier,

Promising review: “We absolutely love these lights — so much so we ordered another set! We rent a house and wanted under-cabinet lighting without damaging the cabinets. These are perfect because you have a choice of mounting with screws or double-sided adhesive. Also, the lighting doesn’t disappoint. They’re soft warm lighting, not harsh white lighting. The dimmer is a nice feature on the remote. I plan on buying some for daughter for Christmas!!” —bethann6

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98 (also available in larger quantities).

19. A nonscratch cooktop cleaning kit because you don’t trust those mystery stains on your ceramic cooktop, and this kit has everything you need to take it from always vaguely greasy to ~glowing~.

amazon.com

The full kit contains a 10-ounce bottle of the cooktop cleaning solution, one cleaning pad, a grip pad tool, and a scraper.

Promising review: “Cerama Bryte was the brand my grandmother recommended using and grandmas are always right! The extra scrape-y tool is a lifesaver for tough splatters. The cleaner and scrubber themselves work wonderfully. After using this, our stove looks sparkling like new again!” —britt

Get it from Amazon for $11.48.

20. A wall-mounted organizing rack for transforming piles of hard-to-store tools (looking at you, brooms and rakes) with five slots and six hooks that can support a whopping 35 pounds.

amazon.com

All the instructions and mounting hardware to install are included! 

Promising review: “Repeat customer! I purchased one to organize the garden tools (rake, hoe, cultivator, shovel, etc.) in our garage, and by alternating the tops of the tools up/down was able to fit them neatly in the holder. I liked it so much that I’m going to install another next to it for the other items. The hooks are a nice feature to hold our gloves and a simple plastic bag to hold things when needed. The installation kit was very helpful and was able to install without using a drill.” —Rob C

Get it from Amazon for $14.97+ (available in four colors). 

21. A set of acrylic floating shelves to transform any room’s clutter into a sleek wall display. Whether you’ve got spices crowding your counters or a vanity that drives you wild, these shelves have got you covered.

amazon.com, amazon.com

22. A compact cosmetics organizer that’s got space for every step in your makeup routine and even a little extra for some skincare and hair accessories, too — all in a countertop-friendly size. Sound too good to be true? Perhaps you should consult the 17,000+ 5-star ratings!

AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed

The bottom drawers and the top part actually come apart, so you can customize your storage layout.

Promising review: This nifty little organizer looks beautiful, can fit ALL of my everyday makeup, and (drumroll please) it keeps clutter at bay in my bathroom — which is extremely tiny, BTW. I can fit so 👏 damn 👏 much 👏 inside of this four-drawered thing. But the real winner, winner chicken dinner here? I have easy access to all the makeup I use every single day and can see all of it at once. I don’t have to dig around the bottomless pit that is one of my many, many makeup bags anymore — I just have to open and close a drawer.” —AnaMaria Glavan

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “This product is awesome! We bought one in the office to stop a nearby chair from continuously hitting the outlet plugs. It solved the problem right away. So we ordered three more to use anywhere there is bulk on the wall. It saves space, makes arranging furniture and desks easy, it’s clean looking. Someone is a genius. Thanks so much!” —Jay

28. Some smart lightbulbs with 16 MILLION color options that you can screw into any light fixture and control with a smartphone or your voice, courtesy of Amazon Alexa or Google Home Assistant.

amazon.com, Amazon

I have these installed all over my living room. They’re easy to set-up with the app, especially if you have a dual-band router that supports frequencies at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Originally, it was just so we could utilize the voice command with our Google Home Assistant (we lazy), but having the different color options has been more fun than I could’ve imagined! When playing a video game or watching a movie it’s just nice to set the color to match the mood — plus dimming the lights and cozying up with a book feels very luxurious!

No need for a specific hub to set these up (they can control these lights with the free PlusMinus phone app), but they are compatible with Alexa Echo, Echo Dot, and Google Home Assistant.

This wallpaper cutting and smoothing kit will likely help the process go a lot ~smoother~.

Promising review: “Love this product! Easy to use; even if you make a mistake you can peel it off and reapply it correctly and it works perfectly.
