~Leaf~ No Mess Behind With These 36 Cleaning And Organizing Products For A Tidy Home
The only thing better than cozy season is a neat home to be cozy in.
1. A pack of three reinforced clothing storage containers so you can get ready for fall by putting all your summer clothes away. These durable bags are breathable to help ensure nothing gets musty over time. They also have a clear window so you can see what’s inside before opening it. AND they have handles so you can easily move them from room to room.
Promising reviews: “I was looking for something to store blankets and bedding; these are perfect. They hold A LOT!” —Jennifer Jensen
“I used these bags to declutter our closets of fall and winter clothes. It definitely comes in handy for organizing, and it is great as hideaway storage.” —tiffani
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three colors and several pack sizes).
2. A portable Bissell multipurpose carpet cleaner for taking care of those spots and stains on your carpets, car’s upholstery, couches, and more. It’s got powerful spray and suction, so those stubborn pet messes will be gone in mere moments. Deep clean made easy!
See it in action on TikTok.
Promising reviews: “Absolutely love it. Recently rescued a dog that was not fully house-trained. Great for quick cleans.” —Jenn
“Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers’ couches, and [there’s a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the ‘looking like brand new,’ but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn’t believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed.” —edina bajraktarevic
Get it from Amazon for $99.59.
3. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste, because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile, easy-to-use cleaner. This paste has got you covered, from your caked-on stovetop to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!
Promising reviews: “I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!” —Micaela Gunderson
“I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried the Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!” —David C. Rein
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
4. And a floor cleaner from the same company that’ll dissolve messes or stains that so far have been too stubborn to be cleaned. This non-abrasive formula works on just about any type of flooring and will leave behind a nice, fresh scent.
Promising review: “I had mopped my floor and could never get it clean enough. I used this bad boy, and it pulled up more dirt than Fabuloso. Living in Alaska, you tend to bring a lot of muck, and having a dog doesn’t help much with the dirt. 10/10 would recommend. It is the dirt destroyer.” —Steven Crosby
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
5. A pet hair remover so you’ll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that’s been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn’t use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and…
Need one you can carry with you? Check out this portable ChomChom roller!
Promising review: “I’ve had it in my possession for like two hours, and I’ve cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I’m obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights ‘things cat people need.’ It’s better than those sticky rollers, and it’s better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It’s the best.” —Meowser
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in tee colors).
6. And a rubber broom to help you keep your carpet free from your purrfect pet’s fur. It’s also great for mopping up liquid spills and squeegee-cleaning your windows!
Promising review: “I bought this broom two years ago, and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs, and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up, even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle, you can use the head in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool.” —Roseann
For more on how well it works, check out our FURemover rubber broom review.
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
7. A two-section Joseph Joseph hamper with a lid because it’s surprisingly chic and will help keep your chairs, floor, and bed free of mountains of clothes. It comes with two removable bags, making laundry day a breeze.
Promising review: “I love this hamper. It was easy to set up, and it’s spacious and sturdy. I can see it’s going to keep my laundry space well-organized. Removing the hamper to dump loads in the washer was easy. This product exceeds my expectations and does exactly what it’s intended to do! Highly recommend.” —Susie
Get it from Amazon for $62+ (available in two sizes and five colors).
8. Some Glisten garbage disposal cleaner packets if fall means lots more homemade concoctions in the disposal. Do your nose a favor and get this cleaner. This will foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
Promising review: “Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don’t really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true.” —KS
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.67.
9. A fume-free oven cleaner so powerful you might just convince yourself you replaced your oven altogether. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove the grime, stains, and caked-on food that result from your attempts at pie-making, casserole baking, and so much more!
Promising review: “I don’t normally write reviews, but HOLY MOLY, if you’re looking for an oven cleaner, BUY THIS ONE!! I’m fairly sure no one has ever cleaned my oven since the day it was installed in this apartment many years ago, and I’m embarrassed to admit that includes me (seven years living here). I wiped up spills and such after cooking, but I never did a deep clean before because I thought it was going to be a gargantuan task. I sprayed on a layer of Easy Off foam, let it sit overnight, and started wiping it off with a wet sponge the next day. Talk about ‘easy to remove’ — this cut through YEARS of baked-on grease splatter like it was nothing. My sponge was black after the first swipe, but I could actually see clean metal! Many rinses/wipes later, I have an oven that looks almost new.” —L. Lietzke
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
10. A scarf hanger with 23 loops to keep your collection neat and tidy. It’ll also be easier than trying to find a scarf that’s tangled in a messy bin somewhere.
It can also be used to store belts, ties, or leggings.
Promising review: “This thing is amazing. I was skeptical about buying it because all the other reviews had pictures with lighter summery/spring scarves, but my collection is mostly winter wear. I wasn’t sure it would hold all my large blanket scarves, but it does. My grandmother saw it and asked me to order one for her! This was the perfect solution to my organization problem.” —Nikolette
Get it from Amazon for $10.87 (available in three colors).
11. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean, especially after having to bathe their muddy kids and pets. With this, you’ll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “It is the best product for cleaning the shower without any effort. Since the first time that I tried it, I’ve been so happy that this product works as described or even better. I will keep buying it FOREVER. I used it in my shower enclosure, and it left it sparkling and shiny. 100% satisfied.” —Wilma
Get it from Amazon for $19.19+ (available in two scents).
12. A pack of 25 disposable shower hair catchers — now you don’t have to wait for hair and gunk to build up in a more traditional drain protector to keep your tub and pipes clean. Simply peel this baby off when you feel it’s full enough and voila!
Amazon
Promising review: “For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So, THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it’s just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy.” —MER
Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack).
13. A 3-in-1 leaf blower that can blow, mulch, or vacuum up the hundreds of leaves making a scene outside your home. At 9.5 pounds, this lightweight device will help you keep your yard space clean. And its collection bag can hold up to 10 gallons of mulched leaves!
It can chop up 16 bags of leaves so they fit into just one bag!
Promising reviews: “I really put it to work this fall. Did a fantastic job. What would have been 56 bags of leaves to put curbside, the Worx Electric TriVac reduced the bags to about eight or nine finely mulched leaves ready to use as compost. Very easy to use. Light. The blower is great, also. The only downside I experienced is that the debris bag needs to be replaced. The heavy-duty stitching on the zipper has come apart, making it very hard to close the bag when mulching. I will have to invest in a new one. Other than that, it is a great mulcher/blower, and it is not that noisy. Highly recommended.” —ADI
“This made raking my yard in the fall a thing of the past. I was able to use this on my entire yard with ease. I was able to fill 13 bags full when normally it would be about 20–25 bags. It’s great!” —AznFury
Get it from Amazon for $90.99.
14. Or a pair of ergonomically designed oversized leaf scoops to make one of fall’s most annoying chores a lot easier.
Promising review: “These scoops are FANTASTIC. They turned a rather physically daunting chore into a much easier one, not to mention we spend literally less than half of the time that we normally have spent gathering up all these leaves and acorns. We are going to purchase another pair for NEXT season!! Wonderful ingenious tool! A must-have for raking chores!” —JMB
Get them from Amazon for $28.95.
15. And a pack of three large water- and tear-resistant garden dustpans since it’ll make collecting and disposing of leaves waaay easier. And quicker!
Amazon
Promising review: “We are doing a lot of yard work, trimming shrubs, removing large weeds, clearing broken branches. I needed a larger container than the standard 30-gallon can. These hold at least twice that volume and because they are as wide as they are high are far easier to load with larger debris.” —nightsong
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $22.99.
16. A wall-mounted mop and garden tool organizer if the cleaning equipment piled together in the only empty corner you have available is creating a fire hazard. It has five slots and six hooks, so you can hang smaller brushes and cleaning accessories.
Promising review: “This broom holder is super handy! It stores my kitchen broom, Swiffer wet mop, and a few other long, awkward cleaning tools neatly and all together. The installation was a breeze and very detailed. I watched the video first, and it’s absolutely foolproof. I’m going to buy another rack for the garage!” —Avid Quilter
Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors).
17. A chic upholstered storage ottoman that’ll make easy work of hiding your fall blankets, sheets, and more. It has a unique pleated shape and is covered in a soft teddy fabric, so not only will it blend in with your decor, but it’ll also be comfy to sit on!
18. A two-pack of reusable mop pads so you don’t have to waste money on single-use Swiffer pads for your deep cleans. Made using extra-thick microfibers, these mop pads are super absorbent!
They’re compatible with the original Swiffer Sweeper!
Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably.
Promising review: “The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn’t just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use.” —Rosemary Patterson
Get a pack of two from Turbo Mops on Amazon for $24.75.
19. A stationary EyeVac vacuum for easily grabbing every last speck of dust (unlike your dustpan), even the stubborn hairs and fibers stuck to your broom. Plus, it’s got a dual filter that both removes dust molecules and returns clean air back into your home.
Promising reviews: “This is the best thing ever invented! It works like a charm! I am constantly sweeping up dog hair and bird food off my floor, and this thing is exactly what I need! No more sweeping into a dustpan. I highly recommend!” —Alison Miehl
“I love the EyeVac. I’m elderly and have trouble bending over to hold a dustpan. This is a life-saver.” —Diana L. Williams
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
20. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because it’ll erase life’s little messes in the blink of an eye. Those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains will be a thing of the past!
Promising reviews: “The only reason I’m giving the Folex 5 stars is because there’s no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6×12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!” —Bob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
21. A toilet tank cleaner with a citric acid formula to remove hard water deposits and other stains in your toilet tank without any elbow grease needed. Get rid of stubborn odors with this safe-on-pipes cleaner.
Promising review: “Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never looked in there, but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn’t even see the bottom. I really didn’t want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn’t expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank and left it overnight, and the next morning, I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see in there now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!” —Linda Baker
Get it from Amazon for $7.07.
22. And a Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning stamp since rings have been forming around the inside of your toilet. This will keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean with every flush. Just plop some gel inside the bowl and let it work so you don’t have to.
Scrubbing Bubbles
Promising review: “I absolutely love these things! I have five kiddos. These gel stamps keep my toilet cleaner and fresher-smelling for longer, which is a definite plus with four boys. These have an easy, no-mess application. I finally just put them on my Subscribe & Save so I always have them ready.” —Alyssa M
Get six stamps from Amazon for $5.99.
23. A hanging shoe organizer if you don’t have the floor space to keep your shoes neatly arranged. It has 24 sections so you’ll be able to hang several pairs of shoes, keeping them both easily accessible and smartly stored.
Promising review: “I hung this in the entryway coat closet, which had plenty of room. It’s great! All the shoes are now organized instead of being in a pile on the closet floor. Two shoes fit in each slot so it’s easy to keep pairs together. The fabric is strong, and the frame is sturdy, so this was a great buy!” —BD
Get it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in four colors).
24. Or a slim profile shoe rack that’ll fit perfectly in your entryway (maybe even put a little trinket dish on it for your keys and coins) and keep your shoes from piling up and creating a tripping hazard.
BTW the image is of two of the cabinets next to each other!
Promising review: “Love the shoe storage. Mostly bought for the look, not practicality. These fit sandals/anything flat like Birks, running shoes, and Air Forces fine, but anything taller won’t fit. Six shoes total fit in one cabinet. Would buy again. Does as advertised and easy on the eyes.” —mmaj
Get it from Amazon for $49.89+ (available in five stains and several sizes).
25. Or a freestanding boot rack because it’s boot season and there’s no need for your thigh-highs to take over the entryway. This bad boy can hold up to six pairs!
Promising review: “Absolutely love this boot rack and the fact that it doesn’t take up much space. Was very easy to put together. It freed up a lot of space in my closet.” —Tracy Crismond
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in black and white).
26. A pack of four duster sponges you simply dampen, and then you’re ready to clean! It’s that easy. Watch as it catches and removes dust, debris, hair, and stains around your home.
Promising review: “I am a bit of a neat freak. These have been soooo useful for cleaning my baseboards, blinds, and fans. They can be used on really any surface, but they are specifically good in those spots. They can be submerged in warm, soapy water and reused over and over again. They are comparable to the Scrub Daddy damp dusters. There are a bunch of them in the box, and they are all individually wrapped. A great deal and a great product!” —Bryn
Get them from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color combinations and three pack sizes).
27. A chic geometric wine rack perfect for your countertop. Now it looks like you have a wine collection (this can hold up to 14 bottles!) and not just a random assortment of bottled adult juice. Your dinner guests will think, “Wow, I really need to get my life together.”
Promising review: “I love the design of this wine rack. It is well-made and sturdy, holds several bottles, yet is space efficient.” —Nadia Kays
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in three colors and in a smaller size).
28. A pack of two easy-to-install gold-colored shower caddy shelves that’ll not only spruce up your bathroom but also make sure you have all the skin and haircare products you need before you start your next everything shower. Each of these deep baskets can hold up to 60 pounds!
Promising review: “I got rid of every other shower caddy and will only use these! They’re easy to attach to the wall with zero issues. They look elegant and not bulky or dirty. Great for organization and a nice clean look!” —Andrea Penner
Get it from Amazon for $26.99.
29. A gutter scoop if waterlogged and matted leaves are clogging your gutters. It’s got chisel teeth on the front to pick at debris as well as a mesh screen that water can exit through.
Promising review: “Not sure why it took me so long to find this item. After years of scraping out packed silt in the bottom of my gutters, I saw this and ordered it. I was a little unsure if I could use it on my smaller-than-standard-size 4-inch gutters, but if anything, the smaller size lets this thing fit even tighter and scoop out more efficiently. (I do have to lift it over the gutter junctions, but that’s fine.” —W. Steward
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
30. A set of two collapsible sock (or underwear) drawer organizers to help you save space in your overflowing dresser by giving each article of clothing its own dedicated square.
Promising review: “Confession: I’ve done battle with an unruly sock drawer for many years. This has been a personal battle, one I don’t discuss during fancy dinner parties or top-secret business meetings. Nevertheless, it has been a burden I’ve shouldered far too long. I ordered a pair of these organizers in hopes of quickly bringing this struggle to an end. The build is good, and they hold my dress/athletic socks perfectly (side note: if your socks don’t fit the slots, it’s probably because of how you fold them). After thinning the sock herd, I only needed one of the organizers! I mean, seriously…do I really need more than 24 pairs of socks?? My wife liked them so much she ‘borrowed’ the other one to use as a jewelry organizer. ” —RoosterCogburn
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes and nine colors).
31. A foldable clothes drying rack for all those pieces you reaaallly shouldn’t be putting in the dryer. It’s super adjustable to accommodate whatever you need to drape on it. This durable rack is also water- and rust-resistant.
Amazon
Promising review: “While slightly more expensive than other racks, the versatility of the adjustable wing with the different racks is well worth the price difference. Don’t put off purchasing this rack any longer. This was certainly the best purchase. It is easy to set up and easy to store and provides a lot of hanging area. I really like the adjustable wings, which allow me to hang items on the racks, too. The sock clips also work well for under garments too. Highly recommend.” —Mary Z.
Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in six colors).
32. A washing machine cleaning gel that you just let sit for a few hours and then wipe away. Because the hazardous mold that’s been growing inside your washing machine is starting to build its own city. You’ll wanna use this to clean your gasket! So go ahead and add your washing machine to your cleaning to-do list.
Promising review: “Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove the black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel to the mold and left it to sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag.” —Robin S. Johns
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
33. An easy-to-use nut collector because it’ll help keep your outdoor space clear of the acorns, pecans, walnuts, or chestnuts that fall from on high and call your yard home. You’ll also get a convenient bag to dump all your gathered nuts into!
Promising review: “We have a giant and a medium oak tree in our backyard. This year the acorns started dropping early, and it can be debilitating just trying to walk across the yard with bare feet. This nut cage works so well! I had a large pile after maybe just 20 minutes sweeping the yard with it.” —Contrisger
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in two colors).
34. A five-piece window track cleaning kit to help you clear the dirt and dust in all those hard-to-reach areas you’ve been wanting to clean properly for forever.
This kit comes with a tile lines brush, a handle groove gap brush, a dustpan clean brush, a window blind brush, and a window track cleaning brush.
Promising review: “LOVE these cleaning tools. Now, I’m not a neat freak, but when I clean, I CLEAN. I like to get in all the nooks and crannies, and these tools made my life so much easier. The skinny green one was great for that skinny area behind my bathroom faucet that I could ever seem to reach! And the thicker white one was fantastic for my shower door track because of the angled bristles it has. It got all the gook that I normally can’t get. I can’t wait to use them on my windows. Would totally buy again.” —Joell Almighty
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
35. A huuuuuge woven basket for when there’s no time (or energy) to clean and it’s tossin’ time. Throw your extra pillows, blankets, and kids’ and pets’ toys in here and call it a day.
36. A kitchen cart that can be used to store your coffee machine or microwave, utensils, and more. Wheel it over to the sink to use the countertop to chop freshly washed veggies and wheel it back over to the corner when you don’t need it. If you find yourself cooking/baking more in the fall, this will surely come in handy!
Promising review: “Great cart! I bought this to use as a coffee cart in the kitchen. The drawer holds filters and stirrers, the shelf accommodates large cans of coffee, and the cabinet holds enough sugar and creamer for an army. The hooks on the side even hold our favorite mugs. I couldn’t be happier with it!” —Pamela T.
Get it from Amazon for $65.99+ (available in white and black).
