If You Want To Get Ready For Spring, Give Your Home A Cleaning Reset With These 31 Products
Your neighbors are going to be like 👀 👀 👀 when they see what this lil' $6 bottle of wood polish did to jazz up your front door.
1. The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it " gold in a jar" and " witchcraft."
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn't look brand new like I was hoping, it's 10 times better!! This product really does work!" — GreenGoddess
Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.99.
2. Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Psst — if you want to use a squeegee, check out this reviewer-beloved squeegee on Amazon!
Promising review:"This is by far the best glass cleaner I have used. Wonder has no chance against this spray. I'm not sure why I haven't found this sooner. I will never go back to regular Windex spray. Recommend it!" — Hadassah E.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.55 (available in unscented and lavender).
3. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
4. An all-natural tea tree bathroom cleaner that may be made with plant-based ingredients, but gobbles up stains like nobody's business. Reviewers swear by this for saving time and energy, since it easily cuts through grime, mold, and mildew accumulating in bathroom spaces.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was surprised at how well this worked to clean my shower. In the past, I've used a homemade baking soda paste mixture to scrub my bath and shower, but I was excited to see that just spraying this tub and tile cleaner helped loosen the dirt so that it just wiped right off!! Yay! Saves me time and scrubbing energy :)." — Grover
Get it from Amazon for $21.77.
5. A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set designed with pet owners in mind — the bristle cleaner installed in the dust pan makes it *super* easy to dislodge pet hair into the dust pan so you're not sweeping the floor with it all jammed up in there.
Promising review:"Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced prope rly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." — DonnaMarie13
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six colors).
6. A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine. Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a cheap secret weapon??
www.amazon.com
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. 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 a bottle from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in multiple sizes).
7. A bottle of Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that's working OVERTIME on preventing you from replacing your carpets — not only does this vanish the evidence of pet-related stains and odors, but it leaves the area smelling so nice that you'll be like, "Um, is this my new signature perfume??" Extremely bonus: It also deters pets from peeing, so if there's a ~hot spot~ your doggo loves to frequent, this ought to curb the habit.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products.
Promising review:"This product has become a must in our household! We discovered it while looking for another scent/odor control product that had a strong citrus scent to spray around a Christmas tree a year or so ago when one of our dogs suddenly decided that he was going to start peeing on the Christmas tree every night. Not only did it deter him from peeing on it, it smells fantastic, and now we use it all the time for any smells around the house, pet odor-related or not! It only takes one or two sprays as well, and the whole area smells fabulous afterward." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (available in four sizes).
8. Plus a Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner with a *MAJOR* fan following of parents and pet owners — this compact, super portable powerhouse uses warm water and a special formula to make stains from grass, mud, pet accidents, food, and all your other home-related shenanigans look like they never even happened.

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99!
Promising review:"Saw this thing all over TikTok and caved because my couch was looking BUSTED. This little green monster was super simple to put together out of the box, easy to wrap back up after use and the water that came after cleaning my couch was literally black... My couch is light blue so, definitely gets things CLEAN. Do it, you don't know you need it but you do." — KD Krane
Get it from Amazon for $99.98.
9. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller deeply beloved by pet owners — it's like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair and not only lock it in, but stash it inside the roller itself, so you don't end up making matters worse by just shoving the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles, i ncluding a mini version great for on-the-go and traveling!).
10. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.
Amazon
Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78.
11. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad that reviewers love not only because it's ready for action again right after a wash cycle, but because it picks up a *ton* more dirt, gunk, and debris than the disposable mops do. Your kitchen floor is finally gonna shine. ✨
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Turbo Mops is a small business that specializes in eco-friendly cleaning products.
Promising review: "If you have a Swiffer Wet Jet and are tired of having to buy those mop pads I would 10000x recommend these. All you do is stick it to the bottom of your mop like you would a mop pad and mop like normal. It stays on great and even picks up crumbs better than the store bought mop pads. Once you're done you just throw it in the wash and it's good as new. I'm not sure if you're supposed to dry them, but I do and they come out just fine! I love these!!" — Kate
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.49 (available in multipacks).
Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.06!
12. A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to potentially pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I was looking for something to get all the hair that was clogged in my shower drain. I was so over using liquid drainer solutions and them not working. It was a little hard to get down my drain, but after a few tries I got it down in there and twisted it to the right and pulled up. The amount of hair and gunk that came out was satisfying yet disgusting! I read a bunch of the reviews saying it broke but I didn't have any issues with the durability. They also provide 6 so if one breaks just use another one. 10 out of 10 would recommend. I'll never go back to liquid draining solutions ever again!" — BM
Get a set of six from Amazon for $6.96.
13. A set of washing machine–cleaning tablets that'll tackle that weird mold + mildew smell in one cycle. Your laundry will come out so fresh that you'll hold your nose up to it like you're auditioning to play "Human in Scented Detergent Commercial."
Amazon
Promising review: My older model Whirlpool washing machine had been smelling very bad for about two months. We tried everything, white vinegar, bleach, etc., it would stay fresh smelling for two days then back to the bad moldy smell. I read this product works so I ordered it. Used one tablet and the smell is gone!!! It has been three weeks now and it just smells fresh, no strong perfume odor either! Buy this product you will not regret it!!!" — A.C.
Get a set of six tablets from Amazon for $11.98.
14. And a set of dishwasher-cleaning tablets you can pop into a cycle with your dirty dishes to wipe out all the extra grime and that funky smell you can never seem to get rid of no matter how hard you try. You don't even need to scrub — these do all the work for you!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I've noticed my dishwasher wasn't cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don't know why these tablets work but they absolutely did and I am a happy customer!" — B. Turner
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98.
15. A mold and mildew removal gel — leave this on the offending spots in kitchens and bathrooms for six hours, and you can wipe it off like nothing nefarious ever grew there in the first place.
www.amazon.com
WE SUPPORT A BEAUTIFUL LIE!!
Promising review:"It's a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn't caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" — Brooklyn Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
16. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover, a water-based cleaning spray that will rescue your carpets from juuuuust about any peril you put them in, whether it's ink, grease, dirt, pet stains, food, coffee, blood, or even *old* stains you've long given up on.
www.amazon.com
Check out a TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover in action.
Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We've got this.'' — Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).
17. A set of quick-drying Swedish reusable dish towels that save the environment *and* a whole lot of your time and money. Each of these lil' bubs is durable enough to replace 15 paper towel rolls, and the ultra-absorbent cellulose makes it so much easier to scrub with.
Eparé is a small business that specializes in kitchen and cleaning products for home use.
Promising review: "Have been using these for a year now and absolutely pleased with replacing these for using paper towels. They are absorbent and easy to clean with dish soap and water, then hung to dry. I throw ones that have had several uses into the dishwasher at the end of the week. They hold their shape and absorbency, and while a duller pattern, does well for a couple of months each." — Ben McDonald
Get a set of four from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four styles and in eight-packs).
18. And a " Skoy Scrub," aka the secret weapon in your cleaning arsenal — this reusable, dishwasher-safe scrub is tough as nails on stains and grime, but safe to use without scratching or damaging non-stick pans, ceramic, glass, and cooktops.
www.amazon.com
Skoy is a small business that specializes in household cleaning products.
Promising review: "At 67, I can say I've tried all kinds of different scrubbers, and these are definitely the best. These actually work better than Magic Erasers. They don't hold food like the common ones at the market. They haven't held any stains so far, they just rinse off, and are eco friendly but last forever. I'm still on my first one after eight months, and it looks like new. I've put it in the washer but not the dryer since they dry fast — and by the way, they don't stink. This is my second order because I'm bringing a couple to my second home, and I'm going to include one in my camping gear as well. I'm definitely impressed." — SoCalToyotas
Get it from Amazon for $7.98.
19. A self-cleaning electric toilet brush to go full YEE! HAWWWW! on the grime in your toilet bowl. If you're dealing with hard water stains, this is an excellent way to get the toilet bowl sparkling again without having to scrub hard. When you put it away, the base will light up blue to let you know it's sanitizing the brush!
Promising review: "I always have a ring in my toilet because I have hard water and this brush does a wonderful job of cleaning it right off! It is so easy to use and I love the blue light that automatically comes on after cleaning to get rid of bacteria. This brush actually makes cleaning toilets fun!" — Ashley Picard
Get it from Amazon fo r $31.99 (available in white, black, and a two-pack).
20. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that uses vinegar and water to blow hot steam into your microwave oven and loosen up all the old food and stains in a mere seven minutes (approximately two Lizzo songs, if anyone's keeping track).
www.amazon.com
Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action.
Promising review:"This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" — Desiree Barlow
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in four styles).
21. A fast-acting, plant-based Keurig machine cleaning kit you can use to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time. It works in less than five minutes, and has enough product to keep your Keurig running clean and smooth for a full year.
www.amazon.com
New England Stories is a small business established in 1987 that specializes in plant-based cleaning products.
Promising review: "I've had my coffee machine for a year now, and I have never washed it. I didn't know what these products were! The solution is odorless, which is super nice! Works very well with Keurig machines and is user-friendly. It takes about five minutes to complete the cleaning process from start to finish, which is very speedy. A great value, you get four uses out of this product!" — Matteo's Mom
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
22. A ceiling fan carbon filter that's about to be any allergy-prone human's hero — you can hide it on top of a ceiling fan blade, where it will secretly pick up dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens and improve the air quality of the room. Take THAT, pesky particles.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79.
23. A bottle of Goo Gone for banishing all those mysteriously sticky, tough-to-scrub stains, like toothpaste or shampoo residue or the adhesive left on your windows or cars from sticker decals.
People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products in their kitchens and bathrooms, too!
Promising review:"Goo Gone has a million different uses. Highly recommend this product to anyone. You are bound to find a use for it at some point and it's pretty easy to store at home. Recently, I used some for removing the packaging of glass mason jars. I noticed the jars of tomato sauce I was buying from the grocery store were actually really nice mason jars. Felt like a waste throwing them out. Why buy a set of mason jars when, instead, you could just buy some Goo Gone and restore your own set? The process was pretty easy for removing the stickers that were glued to the jars." — Ryan
Get it from Amazon for $8.09.
24. A watermark remover cloth to easily remove marks left by water, alcohol, and heat after those moments you accidentally disrespected the coasters on your coffee table by setting your glass literally anywhere else.
Psst — this can also be used to polish metal and chrome.
Promising review:"I was beside myself! I had a haze right in the middle of my carved waves dining room table! Not a ring, but a big 3"x5" area! I tried all the usual remedies, mayonnaise, beeswax, etc., to restore the surface, and NOTHING was working! So I turned to Amazon, and when I saw Guardsmen, I jumped on this! Our family has used Guardsmen products since I was little, and I am 65 years old! This worked exactly like the video showed, BUT it took doing it a little at a time, over and over... BUT OMG it WORKED! If you have any problem with haze caused by moisture and heat, TRY THIS! It's a MIRACLE!" — MaggieB
Get it from Amazon for $7.82.
25. A set of little cast-iron scrapers designed with a durable polycarbonate plastic to easily scrape off grease, cheese, and burnt sauce from cookware without scratching or messing with the seasoning.
Promising review: "These are smaller than the photos indicate, but they are very good at their job of removing crud. Love them. I have only needed to open one of the three included in the set, and I suspect this first one will last indefinitely, so I may give away the others. This is one of those small, cheap products that is incredibly helpful. Why didn't I buy this years ago? Used to leave some pots and pans for my spouse, but now it's almost fun to clean them using this." — 4eyeslab
Get a set of three from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a five-pack).
26. A heavy-duty grout cleaner you only need to let sit for 10 minutes before you can scrub the dirt and grime off all those sneaky crevices of your old kitchen and bathroom tiles.
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
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
27. And a grout paint pen to revamp your bathroom and kitchen tiles so fast that you'll start taking videos of them like you're showing off a home on HGTV.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Best product! My house was built in the early 1960s and the bathroom grout was becoming discolored in spots. I had used every product on the market before buying this pen to see if I could brighten the grout with no luck. I could have just saved so much money if I had went with the pen in the first place! It worked throughout the shower with more product to go! Easy to clean up and lasts a while!" — Kelli
Get one on Amazon for $8.99 (available in two sizes and three colors).
28. A clever silicone " Broombi," designed to flex harder than most of us have in a calendar year — it's an all-surface broom, squeegee, *and* pet hair remover, making it your one-stop shop for all your "fix this grimy floor IMMEDIATELY" needs.
Promising review:"Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilt messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable, stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
29. A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime busting for you, so you don't have to have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.
Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A. Givens
Psst – each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the 'all-purpose' medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you're cleaning (but none of them will scratch!).
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles).
30. A bottle of jetted tub cleaner so easy to use that literally all you have to do is run your bath water, pour in the cleaner, and run your jets.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Go buy this NOW. I moved into a new house and wanted to do a deep clean before we got settled in. No matter what cleaning products I used, I kept finding weird black dots floating in the water when I turned on the jets, so I never used the tub. I saw Oh Yuk recommended by a ton of people on TikTok and decided to give it a try. OMG I wish I took pics of how bad it was. I followed the directions, and it took **eight cycles** of filling up the tub, adding Oh Yuk, running the jets for 15 mins, draining, scrubbing the whole tub and the gross ring that was left, rinse and repeat. I had no idea what was stuck in the jets, and I feel so much better seeing the water perfectly clean." — Courtney F.

27 Affordable Pet Products Animals Adore
An activity mat designed with puzzles that require solving in order for your pooch to get their treat, helping them to remain boredom-free *and* hone their foraging skills. A pint of doggy ice cream that comes in four decadent (if I do say so myself) flavors: maple bacon, peanut butter, sprinkles, and vanilla. Simply add water, freeze, and prepare to be your pup's new favorite parent. A silent chew toy if you've ever chucked a stuffed toy into the depths of your closet due to mid-day naps being interrupted by *squeak squeak squeak*. You'll get your nap in, doggo will get playtime in, everyone wins. A self-warming pet bed if they assume permanent position in front of the space heater the second temps begin to drop. This is machine washable and uses insulation (not electricity) to remain warm. Promising review: "My senior cat and my younger cat both took to these almost immediately. I bought a few so they could each have one and will likely buy more as well to put in other rooms. We have really cold winters and they're both obsessed with laying in front of the space heater, but I didn't want to leave it on all the time for them so when I found this, I figured it was worth a shot. I felt the pad where my cat was laying for a while and it was warm, so it works as intended." —MGet it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two colors). A heated water bowl for animals who reside outside, i.e. stray cats, chickens, pigs, goats, etcetera. This keeps water liquid and prevents it from freezing. Promising review: "At first I was a little skeptical in purchasing this heated bowl for my chickens but this bowl works great. It keeps the water from freezing and I live in Wisconsin, so the winters can be brutal. I have seven chickens and they seem to really like getting some warm water." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99. A package of freeze-dried beef liver treats over 5,000 reviewers swear their dogs are *obsessed* with, and honestly, I sort of can't blame them? I think I'd like these if I were a dog, too. Promising review: "At first, Willow wasn't quite sure about these freeze-dried beef liver treats. The texture gave her a moment of 'paws' (pun intended). But once she took that first crunchy bite, it was game over — she's absolutely hooked! Now, these treats are her go-to favorite. She'll sit, stay, and maybe even do a backflip if it means getting one. The 14-ounce tub is the perfect size to keep her tail wagging without running out too soon. If your pup needs a high-value treat to bring out their inner superstar, these are a must-try! Willow gives them two paws up!" —KathyGet them from Chewy for $4.99+ (originally $5.99+, available in six sizes). A large duck chew toy that reviewers (myself included) rave about for its durability. This lil' guy is truly the gift that keeps on giving because you won't have to replace it after a mere few days — my Frenchie has been chewing on the same one for ~five months now and it's still going strong.* Promising review: "My English Mastiff (and the biggest baby ever) loves his ducky. He has ripped up other toys, but not his beloved duck. He has had it for a few months now and brings it everywhere around the house with him, even sleeps snuggled up with it. I don't know why dogs seem to love this toy so much, but I would highly recommend purchasing." —KristenGet one from Amazon for $7.90. A calming diffuser kit to help anxious cats, an especially great plug-in for days when you're out of the house for several hours or introducing a new pet to the family unit. Reviewers also love this because it helps soothe their pet's aggression. A pack of EcoKind's Himalayan yak cheese chews that not only taste delicious (and no, we're not lying, Dr. Dolittle himself confirmed) but last for quite a while, making it a tasty and mentally stimulating treat. Promising reviews: "We were skeptical at first because the dogs weren't quite sure about them, but we can't let ourselves be caught without them now. Our 9-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog likes them occasionally, but our two under-a-year females love them, fight over them, and even fall asleep chewing on them!We especially like these smaller-sized pieces because the longer ones we got before seemed to lose favor with the dogs after a while, but these they can finish and not leave for me to find in strange places." —Danny Scarbro"I have a very easily bored, mischief-prone Australian shepherd-poodle mix, and these are a godsend. They don't stink, she loves them, they last far longer than other edible chew toys, and she remains interested in them all the way to the end. I was so happy to find these on Subscribe & Save at a good price." —Philly TransplantGet a four-pack from Amazon for $26.95 (also available in other pack sizes). A wheat-free peanut butter cake mix crafted specifically for dogs (!!!) so you can shower them with love and baked goods on their special day like you would any other bestie. I simply can't imagine anything cuter. Promising review: "This was a huge hit, both of our chocolate labs LIVE for peanut butter. Instead of the yogurt icing, I melted some actual peanut butter in the microwave and used that as icing instead. Chuckie could barely wait for it to bake!" —aim1030 Get it from Amazon for $9.99. An interactive cat toy that over 35,000 reviewers with picky, particular cats swear by — their kitties genuinely love *and* play with this simple and affordable toy. A set of two lick mats you can smear with peanut butter or yogurt for a tasty puzzle that'll keep 'em occupied (and not barking) during that Zoom meeting. Promising review: "We have a dog that gets stressed with fireworks, so every holiday that involves fireworks, we fill this up, freeze it, and she's happy. Be careful leaving them alone with it because my other dog tore it up once the treat was gone." —AlyGet them from Chewy for $13.99. An allergy supplement if pollen weather = discomfort for your pup. These immunity-boosting soft chews are probiotics that help promote healthy skin, with probiotics to keep your dog from painfully itching and gnawing. An ice bandana to keep your pup feeling (and looking TBQH) cool during the hot, humid months of summer. A elevated outdoor bed that lingers eight inches above the ground. TL;DR; it allows air to pass through to keep your pup cool, all while the canopy roof prevents the sunshine from beating down on 'em directly. An anxiety jacket that applies gentle pressure for quasi-hug, helping to keep pups calm during stressful situations: flights, car rides, thunderstorms, etcetera. Reviewers especially love this for Fourth of July (and the fireworks that come with it). Promising review: "This is my first Fourth of July with my rescue dog, and I didn't know how she was going to react to fireworks. I bought this ahead of time just in case, and I'm so glad I did. She started shaking and panting as soon as they started going off. I put this on her and she almost immediately stopped trembling, and now she is asleep! I honestly had my doubts that something so simple would work." —weezGet it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). A Dash dog-treat maker that functions like its waffle maker counterpart: simply plug it in, fill with batter, and et voila, the button will shine green when ready. A treat-dispensing toy so playtime can last for hours on particularly cold days when walks need to be short and sweet. These toy balls are designed to interlock for bigger dogs, too. A hair-removing glove that is the best kind of grooming tactic. Why? All you'll have to do is give your doggo some pets and they'll be snoring before you know it. Promising review: "My dog has long fur (double coat) and she tolerates it when I use the slicker brush, but she actually relaxed and settled in when I brushed her with this. The only drawback, which wasn't enough to take off a whole star, is that the velcro has sharp corners and pokes my wrist a little when I move around. That won't stop me from using it, though, because my dog gives it two enthusiastic paws up." —TerpsichoreGet it from Amazon for $7.99. A snuggle puppy stuffed toy for pups who suffer from separation anxiety and need a hint of extra attention. Be still my heart, but this stuffed animal is designed with a heart that beats to make them feel less alone. And I'm sorry but now I can't stop crying. A hide-and-seek plushie that encourages curious doggos to dig around. And the design? Let's just say it makes playtime even ~sweeter~. Promising review: "My dog loves the little bees. However, I don't think she's quite clever enough to get them out of the burrow. My kitten is the one who retrieves the bees, and the dog gets excited to steal them from her! Overall, I love this for both of my fur babies." —scarevansGet it from Target for $11.69. A cave bed if your pooch is anything like mine and demands to be covered on a whim but can't quite burrow under a blanket. This is the no-frills solution they've been waiting for you to buy. Promising review: "We bought this bed about a month ago for our boxer mix. She gets very chilly in the winters, even in the south. From day one she has loved this bed. She dive rolls into it. The added bonus is that she now prefers to sleep in what we call her 'taco' and doesn't jump in our bed at all anymore. So all of us are sleeping better." —ShellyATLGet it from Amazon for $39.59+ (available in two sizes). A 2-in-1 burrow and snuffle toy made with two hidden squeaking fishbones and a treat pocket in the trout's belly, ideal for energetic dogs who expect you to throw their toy over and over when it's covered in slobber. Promising review: "Our dog brings his trout toy everywhere with him. We constantly fill the pouch (fish guts!) with fun snacks, and he can spend a long time trying to 'fish' them out (pun intended). Really durable toy too, and has outlasted so far many other toys that get less regular use. Definitely recommend to all other dog owners out there!" —Manuel C. Get it from Lambwolf Collective for $32. A plush couch liner equipped with a leakproof, nonslip heating pad to keep 'em warm when the landlord refuses to raise the heat to a reasonable temperature. A portable paw cleaner to avoid dragging the remnants of icky winter weather into your clean home. Just add a little water, put each paw inside to be scrubbed by the silicone bristles, and that's it. Clean paws within seconds and helps your pooch avoid bath time. A bag of handmade pill pockets for small animals because let's face it: there's nothing more frustrating than seeing your lil' critter — like a guinea pig, rabbit, or chinchilla — spit out the (very expensive) medicine that their vet prescribed. This makes the whole ordeal easy-easy. No Furries Delights is a Canada-based small business run by two sisters with a passion for handmade healthy pet reviews: "Our bunny absolutely LOVES these. He always took treats from us before, but if we have any Binky chips, he gets more affectionate, sitting on our laps and giving us finger kisses. We have our bun on a digestive vitamin, and giving him one or two of these every other day has helped him. Love them and we are 100% buying them again!" —Ashley it from No Furries Delights on Etsy for $7.39+ (available in two sizes) A magic link leash that can be worn as belt, a crossbody, or around your wrist, which is great because a: it means they won't be able to run off and b: will prevent you from pulling their collar.

27 Kitchen Products To Make Cooking Much Easier
An egg timer so you end up with perfectly ~egg-cellent~ boiled eggs every time — whether you want them soft, jammy, or hard! Promising reviews: "I've used this product for many years (at least 15 years and I honestly think it's been more years than that). I get perfect eggs every time. It's so easy to use! I add it into the cold water while I put my eggs to boil, and the red part starts turning a dark color from the outside in, as the timing correlates to whether your eggs have cooked long enough to be soft, medium, or hard. I wash this easily with a soapy sponge (never used in a dishwasher). Two friends were recently fascinated by this, so I just got these as little gifts. I was sure to get them this exact brand as it's what I've always used. I have never had to replace it and it has consistently gotten a lot of use over the years." —Mezzanine Daze"I just used it for the first time to hard-boil 12 eggs, and it worked perfectly! All 12 eggs came out perfectly hard-boiled. It was super easy to use, too. I just boiled water, put the eggs in along with the timer, and waited. As soon as it turned black, I took the eggs out and put them in ice. The eggs slid right out of their shells and were the perfect level of hard-boiled, with no runniness. I highly recommend buying this, so you don't need to worry about taking the eggs out too early or overcooking them.

Work smarter, not harder, my chefs! An Instant Pot ready to take up the position of head chef in your household. Save yourself the hassle and let this do the (pressure) cooking, roasting, broiling, steaming, and sautéing for you! I love my Instant Pot all year long and use it at least once a week.

I have had one just like it for 10 years — I'm just now replacing it!" —Kindle Customer"I had one of these a million years ago. It started to peel, so I threw it away.

Plus, it stands on its own, which is super handy." —Juliana Narvaez"Most likely the best thing to ever be invented for moms lol. This makes cooking pancakes or anything liquid so much easier.

Enter these gorgeous babies! The set includes medium and large frying pans, a saucepan with lid, and steamer, a casserole pot with lid, a saute pan with lid, and a white silicone review: "These pans are super stylish. I love the material, the style, and the color. They're so nice looking, I added wall hooks to keep them on display when not in use. They're easy to cook in and even easier to clean. I've had no issues with food sticking at all. Everything wipes out super easily. They have a nice feel to them. Much heavier than typical aluminum pans, which allow them to heat more evenly and stay in place while in use. Some of our smaller nonstick pans were off balance due to the handle being heavier than the pan itself. These CAROTE pans don't have that issue at all. The included utensils are heavy as well. They have a nice feel to them. They're great pans for the price. I enjoy each piece of this set. It's a great addition to your own kitchen, or would make an amazing gift for somebody." —JMVGet it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in six set sizes and three colors).

No more guessing games — just simple BBQ-ing that delivers ~sizzling~ results. Promising review: "I'm really impressed with the ThermoPro TP025 Digital Food Thermometer.

A Ninja professional blender featuring 1,000 watts of high-speed, ice-crushing power and an extra large 72-ounce capacity, which means you can whip up even more of your fave smoothies, soups, and sauces in record maybe even sneak in an extra serving or two of veggies for the whole fam. Promising reviews: "There are some products that just change your life. The blender is mostly plastic, but it doesn't feel cheap. It is very secure. It locks onto the base with a satisfying click. The lid locks down with a similar click. Unless you have heard both clicks, the blender won't start. And good thing. The blades are very sharp. They are angled to create a vortex that instantly turns any fruits and vegetables inside into viscous liquid. I like that the spout has a lid that locks open so you can pour easily. The blades come out so they can be cleaned easily, along with the inside of the decanter. This blender has high, medium, and low settings. You can pulse. It is loud, which I take to be a feature and not a drawback. Neither my kids nor I particularly like fruits and vegetables, so we don't get nearly enough. And yet I can put in 10 bananas, two cartons of strawberries, two of blueberries, a bag of spinach (yes, spinach!), a cup of plain Greek yogurt, one interrupted ambrosia! The decanter is huge, and yet between the three of us, we can and do empty it in one meal. Yay!" —The Wheels Go Round"My husband has been using this blender for a while and it's a GIANT upgrade from our last one. The lid is sturdy and basically locks in place. The pitcher also locks in place. No leaks! Has a nice spout to pour out of. Cleaning is a breeze, no small parts for connecting the blade to the pitcher! It's just the lid, the pitcher, and the blade "pole". The pole has 3 tiers of blades, which is probably the best part. Makes blending so much quicker and easier. This is THE blender, seriously." —AustinGet it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four styles). Or, a nine-speed immersion blender since it basically does the job of a big boy blender, only directly in the pot, bowl, or cup itself! Plus, it has attachments for frothing and whisking too, so you can whip up a fancy little latte, should you so desire. Promising reviews: "Would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking for a small, lightweight but durable and functional blender tool for your soups and a mixer for your baked goods. It's great to have two different attachments. Super powerful but not overly spastic. It keeps your kitchen clean and makes cooking that much easier." —Matt Rinidini"Packaging was well done. Very pleased with the product, and it makes cooking simple to achieve. I cook for a family of seven!!! Any way to make a task easier, I am all about it. Buy this, it helps make smoothies, salsas, soups, mixing, and beating, and is much easier to use and clean." —JacksonGet it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in two other bundles). Our Place's "Always Pan 2.0" if using lots of cookware at once quickly overwhelms you. This multi-functional beauty does 10 (!!) different jobs to make cooking less complicated: saute, sear, bake, braise, steam, fry, boil, roast, strain, and serve! Promising review: "Amazing how easy this purchase has made cooking! It has eased the stress of preparing meals and actually made cooking something to look forward to! You really don't need high heat to make amazing meals, and the nonstick pan and easy cleanup are *chef's kiss!* And the handle holder is an amazing bonus! This would make an amazing birthday, housewarming, or holiday gift for friends and family! Amazing investment for cooking at home!" —Alison it from Our Place for $129 (available in five colors and two other sizes). A silicone baking mat so you can ditch the parchment paper (which is real P.I.T.A to rip out of the container, right?!) for something just as effective and less wasteful. Talk about a win-win! Promising review: "We have been using a set of silicone mats for several years. We have been very pleased with the Amazon Basics brand! Easy to use and easy to clean!Ever wake up to a baking tray that someone has left in the sink with a stuck-on pizza crust? If any of you have ever had a teen cook in your house, you can relate! My problem was SOLVED with these!! We have had no issues at all with higher heats! Do they stain? Yes, with some foods, such as spaghetti sauce. There is really little you can do about that. I purchased a new set today so my husband has perfect ones to bake his Christmas cookies! We also needed two more so he can bake more cookies at a time! Easy to clean! They are safe on the top rack of your dishwasher, or you can handwash if you like. We only use them in our dishwasher. It's just plain easier. We have purchased these as gifts and they are much loved. We have trained our new chefs in the house to use them! Yay! No more cooking spray all over!" —Olivia"This is the best thing! It fits perfectly on my cookie sheets. It is easy to clean and is a helpful tool in my baking!" —Alissa GGet a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two styles and four-packs).

I organised my spice jars in alphabetical order to make it easier to locate each spice. Good-sized jars of spices. Looks great on the countertop too. If you're looking for something like a well-made product, then look no further! And, to top it off, you get 5 years of free refills!" —Susan C"Love the look and the combination of spices! It is so much better to have them handy when cooking. It makes everything so much easier and enjoyable!" —Lina BarzevaGet it from Amazon for $33.37 (also available in a three-pack, which would be great if you plan to gift these to people). An absolutely adorable bird-shaped lemon juicer to squeeze out your citrus juice and have a little fun while you're at it. It's almost like the bird is singing a juicy little lemon tune for us, no? A leakproof kids' bento box with five compartments since it will make prepping and packing a healthy school lunch easier for you and actually eating said lunch much more enjoyable for them. No more foods getting all mushed together during the bumpy bus ride. Promising review: "I recently got the Bentgo Kids Mermaid Leak-Free Lunch Box for my 3-year-old daughter, and I am so impressed! The five compartments are perfect for packing her favorite snacks, from fruit and crackers to little sandwiches and even a small treat. She loves how everything is separated, and I don't have to worry about foods mixing together. Cleaning is super easy as well, and it's lightweight enough for her to carry herself, which she enjoys. Overall, this lunch box has made packing her meals so much easier and more fun, and I'd definitely recommend it to other parents!" —Jennifer YangGet it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in 33 styles). A *crab-tastic* silicone spoon holder that clips to the pot lid and quite literally pinches the utensil in place with its cute little claws! Yep, this is a need not a want. Promising review: "Red the spoon crab is about the size of a baseball, and very sturdy. What I didn't know is that he can clip onto your pots and pans easily and securely to hold the spoon over the pot to freely drip. He also ROTATES TO MAKE LIFE EASIER!!! He arrived as advertised and it was no effort to clean him up. He's in the kitchen now waiting on me to make dinner, and I think he's the best kitchen purchase I've made in a long time! If I could award above 5 stars I absolutely would, this company and their products UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT and surpass every mark." —AshleyGet it from Amazon for $16.95. A two-stage knife sharpener to get those dull blades back to their former pointed glory. Effortlessly slicing through meat and tough veggies is wayyyy easier than having to practically saw through 'em. A "Bacon Bin," which unlike the old pickle jar you've been using, is actually meant to collect and store grease. This easy-to-use cutie is heat resistant and features a built-in strainer to separate out small bacon bits. As soon as the grease hardens, you can scoop it out for easy disposal, or if you're feeling more adventurous, reuse it in other recipes. Promising review: "I love this little guy. I make a lot of Bacon Jam for friends/family and that results in generating a lot of bacon grease. I needed something convenient, yet small, to store the bacon grease in. This little guy fits the bill perfectly. Makes it easier to use the bacon grease in my vodka pie crust instead of lard or shortening when I make my homemade pot pies. He's practical, doesn't take up a large amount of space on my counter, and just downright cute!" —BonBonGet it from Amazon for $18. A garlic press that works through a gentle rocking motion rather than by loading the cloves in and smushing the garlic out (like more traditional presses). Why is this design far superior? Well, it's not only way easier to use but also easier to clean. *Plus* it comes with tools for peeling off the shell and scraping the minced garlic off the surface. Promising reviews: "Excellent kitchen tool. I bought three of them as gifts and everyone uses them, and loves them. They make prepping fresh garlic so much easier and less time consuming. Great price, great value!" —purchasee"I use fresh garlic in a lot of recipes and this makes mincing it so much easier and faster than just using a knife. I love that it comes with the garlic peeler and little knife to help scrape it off the tool." —Ansley RickGet it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two colors). An adjustable measuring spoon designed to replace the army of measuring utensils currently on reserve in your drawer. This one tool can measure dry and wet ingredients up to 1 tablespoon or 15 ml, and that means fewer dishes to clean later. This can measure wet ingredients from 1 ml up to 15 ml and dry ingredients from ¼ tsp up to 1 reviews: "It's easier to know what quantity is in the body. There are no spills. It's just easier to use than the traditional spoon set. It also takes up less room." —Bizzy"BUY! SO much easier! As someone who cooks dinner at least six times a week, the constant use of measuring spoons is vital, but also annoying because they add up in the sink. This is one dish, and quick and easy to clean. Love!" —JocelynGet it from Amazon for $8.99.
