If Your Goal Is To Live In A Cleaner, More Organized Home, But You Don’t Know Where To Begin, These 31 Products Will Help
1. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don’t have to scrub…like…at all. Just rinse it the next day, and you’re good to go. I know, I know, I’m crying tears of joy, too.
Amazon
Promising review: “We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that, no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda, will NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits, dirt, and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. This is truly an overnight sensation!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents).
2. A bottle organizer for providing a nice little area to keep your and your fam’s water bottles when they’re not being used.
Amazon
YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that makes ingenious home and kitchen storage solutions.
Promising review: “This organizer is amazing!!! I always kept our surplus water bottles in the small cabinet above our sink. Every time I took one out, three more would fall out. I am so glad I found this! It took 20 seconds to put together and forced me to purge some bottles I’ve been hoarding for far too long. Buy this immediately!!!” —RT17
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available with two or three shelves and wide styles).
3. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product so good, you’ll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors).
Promising reviews: “Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done, and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird, chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny.” —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
4. A set of clothing storage bags featuring clear windows because every season, without fail, you find yourself reaching for that sun dress or sweater on a rare weather day but can’t find it anywhere. Now, you’ll be able to find the exact clothing item you want to wear without having to rifle through every storage container you own.
Promising review: “Best TikTok find for storage. These are the best storage bags/containers I have bought. So much so that I reordered and got three more not too long ago. One of them holds all the items from my six-drawer dresser, which included everything from tank tops to heavy sweaters and crewnecks. I also use it to hold my seasonal shoes, extra blankets, and, yes, even more clothes! Since reordering, I now have six but I am only currently using four. They are machine washable and good to go in the dryer on low heat. Overall, it is worth the purchase!” —Harley
Get a set of three from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in six colors and various sets).
5. A power scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your living space look brand freakin’ new.
Useful Products is a small business based in New York. Its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that’ll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.
It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won’t scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW the drill isn’t included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
Promising review: “I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I’m 51, and I guess I’ve just been old school with how I clean, so I was hand scrubbing it for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes, AND it scrubbed my shower cleaner than it had been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door, everything came out squeaky clean. I’m NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again.” —Terry
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in different brush stiffnesses).
6. A set of refrigerator bins because every time you clean out your fridge you swear you’ll keep it nice and tidy…then you go grocery shopping, get caught up in your chaotic schedule, and the cycle goes on and on. No more!
Promising review: “This set of organizers was exactly what I needed to organize my refrigerator. I was tired of reaching around items to get items from the back. All my condiments and containers fit in these. I am now able to slide the container forward to get to what I need. This really saved me from the clutter in my fridge. I am able to see what I actually have so food gets used and not spoiled. Thank you for selling this as a set. Great value as opposed to trying to buy pieces individually.” —Judith Freels
Get the set of six (including an egg drawer) on Amazon for $18.49.
7. A pet hair remover you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie. It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!
Promising review: “Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it’s snowing – he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed without getting a single hair on me. It’s absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don’t have a pet. I don’t care; it’s THAT good.” —DH
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
8. A pet hair removal broom and squeegee that’ll help you get rid of the furry mess your pet leaves behind. It might not be visible to the naked eye, but you just KNOW it’s living in your carpet…and TBH…it’s quite gross.
Promising review: “This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn’t shed. Then, in the spring, he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere, and somehow, I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it, and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that short, quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile.” —Nick V.
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

9. A pan rack, because you are definitely gonna thank yourself for buying this. The struggle of having to dig through all of your pans just to find the right one is now a thing of the past.
Amazon
You can use it upright or on its side.
Promising review: “I was tired of stacking my frying pans on top of each other and was looking for something to both organize my pans and give me easy access to them. Before this organizer, I would have to unstack several pans in order to get to the middle pan that I needed. Now, I can just reach in and immediately get the frying pan that I need without having to unstack. The quality of this organizer is pretty good.” —L
Get it from Amazon for $15.87+ (available in three colors).
10. A mold and mildew removal gel to help make your bathroom surfaces look brand new. Mold and mildew are bound to happen. There’s no need to fret!
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. 1,000% worth the (small) investment. Seriously — just buy this. It’s amazing!!” —Nicole D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
11. A hanger stacker so you can keep unused hangers in one organized spot. When you DO need a hanger, you won’t have to spend a million and one minutes untangling them.
Promising review: “Great functionality. I gather hangers as I gather dirty clothes. This stacker lives in my laundry room between the washer and dryer. It keeps my plastic hangers under control, and I no longer suffer ‘clothes hanger rage’ from them getting tangled and not cooperating with me.” —msw
Get it from Amazon for $21.92.
12. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction, so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn’t mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.
Promising review: “My daughter is the queen of spilling juice on her bed, and I never fully realized the damage/dirt it was causing. My sister bought this, and I decided to try it, and it is worth every single penny!! I sprayed the bed down with the machine and I left for about five minutes, came back, and began to actually do the suction. It took about 15 minutes to finish, but some lighter stains disappeared right away — no scrubbing needed.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $120.
13. A divided drawer organizer because it shouldn’t take having to go on a dresser scavenger hunt just to find your favorite fuzzy socks.
It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments.
Promising review: “I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights, and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit, but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I’m in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks, tights, or undies, each well can fit more than one on top of the other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau, which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you’ll be super glad you did!” —Chrissquasi
Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors).
14. Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser to help you get a bunch of surfaces and objects in your home looking as good, if not better, than the day you purchased them.
For those who are fans of the Bar Keepers Friend Classic Cleanser and Polish, this delivers the same results but in a pre-mixed formula to make for a quicker clean. It works well against rust stains, soap scum, and indoor and outdoor grime.
Promising review: “I was so bummed when I scratched up my pretty white sink with pots and pans. I thought I’d need to have it replaced or try to sand it and refinish it, but I bought this stuff as a last-ditch effort to fix it myself. It takes some elbow grease to make them go away; the scratches don’t just wipe off. But if you scrub at them for a few minutes, they melt away pretty quickly. After two rounds, my sink looks nearly brand-new again. It also worked on a few mineral stains in the bathtub that I thought were permanent after a soft scrub failed to remove them. Again, a little of this stuff, the scrubby side of a blue sponge, a little bit of effort, and they were gone!” —Dan Borden
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.50.
15. An under-sink organizer featuring a sliding basket that’ll make whatever clutter you have going on down there a lot easier to deal with. Need a sponge and cleaning spray? No problem! Easy peasy! Right there!
Promising review: “These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true.” —Brad J. Leahy
Get it from Amazon for $25.97 (available in two colors).
16. A cooktop cleaning kit because look: You’re using the thing to make your meals, so naturally, it’s going to get dirty. Sometimes things fall out of the pot, sometimes things splatter from the pan, and sometimes burns happen because you’re too busy dancing to the Jonas Brothers and forgot about your pasta…not speaking from personal experience here!
Comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, a cleaning pad, a scraper, and a grip pad tool. It helps to clean grease and stains and remove burnt and baked-on deposits.
Promising review: “As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn’t believe it! We had a new stove that I hadn’t cleaned for months, and I assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this, it looks like my stove could be brand new.” —Christi
Get it from Amazon for $11.48.
17. A pack of vacuum bags to store clothing items you’re not planning on wearing in a given season so there’s less clutter in your closet! These don’t create the same amount of bulk that other storage bags would, so they’re good to store under your bed!
These bags are made with antimicrobial materials, so you don’t have to worry about mold, mildew, or bacteria building up. Plus, they come with a free travel pump! Check out my colleague’s Spacesaver vacuum storage bags review for more details!
Promising review: “These are the best storage bags ever. Nothing else works as well or is as effective. I’ve tried them all, and these are by far my favorite.” —CCD
Get a six-pack of various sizes from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in other sizes).
18. A stainless-steel polishing spray with a microfiber cloth that’ll make your stainless-steel appliances look as if they were just delivered to you yesterday.
Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents.
Promising review: “In my experience, cleaning products usually need to be pretty strong chemicals that require care when applying. When faced with options, I usually buy the chemical with the most skull and cross bones, warning labels, and danger symbols I can find. I figure the more volatile and poisonous the chemical, the better it will work! So, I was skeptical about this product when it was billed as a plant-based chemical on the other end of the toxicity spectrum. I decided to try it because of the many positive reviews. I’m glad I did. It works great! I wouldn’t use it as a mouthwash, but it certainly isn’t as harsh as other cleaners I’ve used.” —Joe
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
19. Command cord bundlers to help keep wires behind gadgets and appliances nice and tidy rather than snaking across your surfaces.
Promising review: “I have one of these attached to almost every cord-having thing I own and for maybe $30 in total I feel like my whole life got a facelift. My stand mixer looks better on the counter, and it stays clean even when everything else is a mess. My space heaters store so neatly in the linen closet. I have an HDMI cord bundled to the back of each TV. There’s a bundler stuck between my car’s dash and console, which holds two phone chargers. Truly, especially for the price, I could not recommend something more highly.” —Amber Stewart
Get a pack of six bundlers and 12 strips from Amazon for $16.20.
20. A wood polish and conditioner for bringing your precious wooden furniture back to factory condition. Did you just get your house redone by an HGTV crew or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products?
Promising review: “This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn-out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places. We also had an area damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand new. I’m buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We’re so glad we found this product.” —Kris
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
21. A food bag organizer/dispenser so you say goodbye to messy piles of boxes and hello to a smarter storage solution.
YouCopia is a woman-owned small biz that sells home organization products.
Promising review: “I like it very much. Not so large. Lightweight. Would look nice on top of the counter. What I like is that you do not have to wrangle the box into the slots. Simply pick up the roll of bags from their packaging and put them in the designated slot.” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three- and four-slot models).
22. A natural tub and tile cleaner to help dissolve soap scum, hard water stains, and mineral deposits from your shower/bath floors and walls with minimal effort required on your end. Plus, it’s free of synthetic fragrances and smells like eucalyptus.
Promising review: “I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck, and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I’ve never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree, and it didn’t affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate, and the bottle sealed so it wouldn’t leak in the box. I highly recommend this.” —Amber Erwin
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.99.
23. A set of drawer trays for keeping the contents of your desk, dresser, and even your token junk drawer more orderly.
The six-piece set comes with two 3″x3″ bins, two 6″x3″ bins, and two 9″x3″ bins.
Promising review: “Great product! I bought these to put in my nightstand drawer to store small things, as the drawer is very deep. I’ve got ChapStick, hand lotions, a small flashlight, and other bedside items in them, so they’re not just rolling around the drawer. I just bought some more for my bathroom vanity. They fit together nicely but also lift right out of each other. The plastic is sturdy, and they came individually wrapped to keep them from scratching.” —Sparkyj
Get a six-piece set from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in larger pack sizes).
24. A pumice cleaning stone to scratch away at those pretty repulsive toilet stains without leaving horrid scratch marks in the bowl.
It removes calcium, lime, and hard-water stains using gentle abrasive action and cleans porcelain fixtures, pool tile, toilet bowls, barbecues, steel, and stone.
Promising review: “I have a 19-year-old bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching.” —Happy Retiree
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A set of Shoe Slotz space saving units that’ll take your collection of shoes from an overwhelming messy pile of who knows what to basically resembling the aisles of a DSW because you’ll *gasp* actually be able to see your shoes.
Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed
My colleague Sally Elshorafa swears by this for organizing shoes. Here’s what she has to say:
“This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn’t really work because there’s not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you’d normally use to store your shoes.”
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $32.99 (also available in larger pack sizes).
26. A grout pen to get your floors shining like the top of the Chrysler building in no time at all. Did you hire a fancy schmancy service to clean your tiles? Nope, you used a PEN to cover it all up.
Pen is ideal for use on floors and walls!
Promising review: “I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large primary bathroom, plus a little of the shower, with one pen. It is pretty forgiving, and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I’m very happy with this product!” —Jenelle
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and various other colors).
27. A battery organizer because scattered throughout a junk drawer is not a good storage spot for batteries, FYI. Now they’ll be tidy, and you’ll be able to easily take inventory of which ones you actually have.
This *safely* holds 82 batteries of various sizes. You can store it in a drawer or mount it on a wall!
Promising review: “Something so simple saved me an entire drawer’s worth of space! We had a battery drawer in the den desk, but it was a mess! Opened battery packages, half of them had new batteries, other batteries floating around loose in the drawer all willy-nilly, all different sizes and brands mixed together. It was an eyesore and a pain every time I had to look for batteries. Now, thanks to this little helper, our batteries are organized and easy to find and grab right inside the basement stairs doorway. The wattage tester is super helpful, and I was able to toss out half of the batteries we’d had that were dead or nearly dead from being old or accidentally put back with the new batts instead of into recycling. It feels a little thin and flimsy, but it just holds the batteries; you don’t move or bend it, so it’s moot. So glad I bought this; it’s fantastic!!” —Amanda S. Michniewicz
Get it from Amazon for $14.97.
28. Melamine cleaning sponges — extra thick but gentle sponges ready to tackle all sorts of surfaces in and around your home. They’re described as “magic” for a reason.
All you gotta do is wet and swipe!
Promising review: “I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean ‘pics or it didn’t happen’ kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!” —Keisha Marie
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.
29. A desktop organizer to finally give all of the items on your desk, like books, folders, writing utensils, decorative pieces, and more, a tidy storage spot. Plus, this is a piece of decor in its own right so it’ll make your work space really pop.
Amazon
Promising review: “I have gone through many different desk organizers trying to find the right one and this is it. It is sturdy, adjustable, and stylish. I read that many people were disappointed by the fact that there were no covers for the screws but I purchased the light wood tone and I think the screws add to the aesthetic. It looks great and I love it. I would recommend this product to anyone who asked!” —Julia Harrison
Get them from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).
30. An oven cleaning spray so the next time you open the oven door and pop in dinner, you’re not tempted to puke all over it because of the yucky buildup you’ve let your oven accumulate.
It is good for use on ovens, broilers, and barbecue grills. Spot cleaning only takes about five minutes.
Promising review: “Fantastic product!! Wish I knew about it sooner. I also wish I had taken before and after photos because it is that amazing. Just be careful to protect the heating elements before spraying it. I forgot, so it smelled a bit when I used the oven the first time after cleaning it. The smell didn’t last long, though.” —Ivana K.
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
31. A set of sheet keepers to well…help keep sheet sets and sheets of the same sizes bundled up nicely together. Not to mention, thanks to the labels stating the sizes, you won’t have to fumble around with three different sheets of the same color just to find which one goes on your bed versus your kiddo’s bed.
Sheet Keeper / Etsy
SheetKeeper is a woman-owned small business based in Los Angeles.
Promising review: “Great product. Came quickly and they work great! Such a great idea to keep sheets organized and together while being able to tell what size bedding it is. Will order again for sure!” —devonhansen1
