Promising review: "This has been a great addition to our cleaning regime. We wash cars, sidewalks, and backyard pool areas. Today I am cleaning my outdoor BBQ and can't wait to get started. It is easy to use and set up and cleans everything easily. The canister is easy to pull around and never tips over due to its unique wheel design. I highly recommend this product." — Caroline Leary

Dilute it according to the instructions, apply to your surface, and wait for your jaw to drop. While it's excellent for the heavy duty problems, it is a tad harsh, so always test in a hidden area before using it on painted surfaces or fabrics. Promising review: "This stuff is like magic. I had used another brand always before, and ended up trying this one out. I used to have to scrub with a metal brush. This seems to melt the oil stain off the driveway and I have to scrub way less. It doesn't leave any residue after washing off with water." — Clay H. Pinkerton

Promising review: "I got an expensive sheep hair chair from CB2. I thought I could just vacuum it but it wasn't removing the dust/dirt/lint bits and the seat was matting after six months of daily use. This cleaned and smoothed it out well. I got the suggestion from professional furniture restorers. It WILL remove some hairs, particularly if matted, but the hairs are often loose anyway. All dust/dirt/lint bits combed right out and it looks new again." — SH

You also get a mesh bag for all those brushes and a hook for storing the scrubber. A little screen shows you the speed and battery percentage! Promising review: "This electric spin scrubber has completely transformed my cleaning routine! The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the three adjustable speeds provide the perfect amount of power for different surfaces. I love the eight replaceable brush heads — there's a perfect one for every cleaning task, from the shower to kitchen tiles. The adjustable long handle is a game-changer for reaching high or low spots without straining my back. It's durable, easy to use, and makes deep cleaning effortless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and effort on household chores!" — Eddie

My board looks beautiful, and my knives and scissors are back to their original condition." — ares"We've been using Thirteen Chefs Mineral Oil on all our hardwood cutting boards, and it's been fantastic!

This mineral oil has become a must-have for maintaining our kitchen tools!" — Perfect Cents

It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856

Promising review: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." — Bonzarelli

It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home INVEST IN THIS!!" — S.

The kit includes the pictured velvet record brush, a spray bottle of record cleaner, a stylus brush for the needle, and a small bristled cleaning brush for cleaning the dust off the velvet brush. Promising review: "I bought this kit immediately after getting some vinyls and a record player. I'm so impressed with how well it cleans! I should've taken pictures of what came off of the visibly dirty vinyls (a LOT of dust and a bit of cat hair). While you can make it harder for yourself and clean it on a flat surface, you can simply put your record on the player and hold the brush in one place! It's so quick and works so well!! This was the help my vinyls so desperately needed to boost their audio quality!" — Susie W

Promising review: "Extremely effective. I own a furniture store. We purposely spread some butter, french fry grease, and pomegranate juice on a Clean Code "S" fabric swatch, and let it sit for a day. Then we put on gloves, put some fluid on a small part of a rag, dabbed at the spill (didn't rub into it), which disintegrated the spill. Did this a few times, and lightly scraped sideways over the spill. You can't even see where the spills were. We keep this swatch on our desk when we write up our sales orders. Every one of our customers who buys a fabric sofa or chair, that has code S fabric, buys one of these or else we include it for free. I ordered a case for our stock." — J. Rasmussen

It's safe to use on silver, gold, brass, and silver-plated metals like aluminum. Promising review: "Before, my jewelry was so dusty and crusty that my jewelry box was like a doom box where rings and necklaces went to die. It was SO satisfying to do. I recommend wearing gloves, though. I was so excited to try the wipes that I went at it bare-handed, and after one necklace, my fingers were uncomfortably dry. Slid on some gloves, and the rest was a breeze. 10/10 recommend." — Sarah

A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane

I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I had previously bought some other adhesive remover which was so pungent. This stuff worked better than that at removing adhesive residue. The residue came off effortlessly by wiping with a cloth wetted with the fluid. AND: no discernible smell whatsoever. Just MAGIC." — AH

Can't recommend enough." — Madison Bean"I thought our dishwasher was just old and didn't clean well due to the hard water. But, when I gave these a try, I immediately had clean dishes without spots." — Rebecca Park Totilo

Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily. Plus, no chemicals needed, which I really like. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy

It quickly removed that stain and I continued to use the spray on a stain I got from my black jeans. Like magic the stain was gone and my bag has been restored! Would definitely recommend!" — Sarah P.

I've used Magic Erasers, several different types of soap scum cleaners, industrial bleach, etc. The instant I rubbed the pink stuff on the hard water stains in my tub, they came off immediately with hardly any elbow grease. It barely took any effort and soap scum and hard water stains just rubbed away instantly. I highly recommend it!!" — Seven"I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good....It's that good. It's better than good. My shower looks better than new.

Look no further. These wipes got — no joke — 50 year-old tape goop off of the walls in our home's laundry room. I have a wall in my kitchen that my big dog likes to lay against and I have never been able to get it 100% clean. These wipes made it look like I put a fresh coat of paint on the wall.

Pumice stone 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. Am very happy with this purchase...well worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree

And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time. (Oh, and it's cruelty-free.)Promising review: "Cleans like magic. My mind is blown at well this soap works. I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough but could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I'm a convert." — ss3745

Oh, and the handle telescopes 36–60 inches, so you can store it easily but also like, use it to squeegee off high windows if necessary.

Promising reviews: "My Yeti tumblers are used for tea. Every day. I've been using them for years. And there is a disgusting build up that I can never scrub off, not even with a magic eraser (its tannins). These are magical little nuggets of cleaning. My Yeti that is 5+ years old and had 5+ years of tea tannins built up is now sparkling clean like it was brand new!! I put boiling hot water in each cup, dropped in the magical nugget, and let it sit over night. A good scrub and I could sell this as an unused Yeti tumbler!! Worth the money and time!!!" — B.J.

You charge up the wand with a USB, put your brush in the wand, and choose one of three different speeds to spin it clean in a pretty little glass bowl. Promising Reviews: "Love this thing! It is amazing and works just as described. It cleans AND dries brushes in seconds!! Dense brushes take a little longer to dry, you just have to let them spin a little longer but it's far better then the day to two drying time I used to deal with. I can use them again immediately after because the brushes are spun completely dry! I used to completely dread cleaning my brushes. Now it's so easy that I do it frequently. Totally worth the investment for someone who hates cleaning their brushes like I did. I've recommended it to others and they love it too!" — A.Grant"This is such a gem.

We live in southern Utah where the red dirt/dust is everywhere and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side.

Grout, tough mold, mystery sticky stuff, and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance.

Strongly recommended. Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail.

Angry Orange, a small business started in 2014, makes all kinds of supplies to clean up after your pets! Promising reviews: "I decided to buy this product after reading the reviews. I bought it because we have four big, BIG, HAIRY dogs that think they are Chichuahuas and should be inside all the time, and I'm very self-conscious of their smell any time someone comes to our house. I vacuum everyday, and I use carpet deodorizers often, but still... there is always a faint dog "scent" that remains. Angry Orange smells very orangey (of course!) when you apply it, but the scent doesn't last long. When it fades, it takes with it the dog scent also. It doesn't mask it, like other products, it takes it away!!! I have a couple of family members that have very good noses and who are very vocal and opinionated, and even they said that they could not smell dogs after using this magical concoction." — Miriam B

35 Items That Don't Mess Around When It Comes To Results
All-in-one decor paint for an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition-worthy transformation. The chalk-like paint comes with a built-in primer to help it cling to most surfaces, from upholstery and wood to metal and glass. With over 50 colors to choose from, this paint can help you revitalize every room in the house. Aaand it dries in just 30 minutes! A deep-conditioning hair mask promising smoother, shinier, and stronger hair, even if you're fighting against bleached, dry, or damaged locks. It can even handle Florida levels of humidity! A lawn dog spot repair treatment to make your crispy, brown lawn look like it belongs in front of a house in Emerald City. Reviewers say they noticed results almost immediately — as in *days*! A lightweight gel cream from Nivea with powerful Q10 that helps plump, firm, and moisturize skin in as little as two weeks with consistent use. One reviewer found success with this when expensive neck creams from department stores and Sephora fell flat. A pack of stain-removing pads to obliterate all the unwanted pet-related stains in your home. Lay a pad on an unwanted blemish, stomp, toss the pad, and admire your pee-free carpet. It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MCGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99. L'Oréal Paris BB Cream, a green-tinted formula that combats redness through the power of color theory. It doesn't stop there — it also works to even complexion, hydrate with vitamin E, and sets the perfect stage for you to apply your makeup on. The fairly-priced product offers light to medium coverage and won't feel crusty. A jewelry cleaning pen you can count on to add new shine to your gems, no costly trip to the jeweler required. As someone who refuses to take off rings before washing dishes, showering, etc., I need this! A Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener to expertly conceal and brighten dark circles under your eyes. The lightweight, color-adapting formula blends so seamlessly under makeup that your old concealer will throw itself out. A pet brush with thin, long teeth capable of getting to the undercoat. A good brushing means a silkier coat — and best of all, less shedding. Promising review: "Wowwww!! I thought we were getting a lot of fur off our mini Maine coon mix with our regular cat brush, but I had no idea how much we were missing until I bought this comb! Bella is visibly sleeker and happier after two good de-shedding combing sessions. The best part is that she LOVED it, which says a lot, because she typically will only allow a few swipes of the brush at a time. But with this comb, she even let me get her BELLY fur!!! For a cat who rarely likes being touched for more than 10 seconds, that is incredible! 5 out of 5 stars, telling everyone I know about this comb!!" —RebeccaGet it from Amazon for $14.97. A Briotech spray that uses hypochlorous acid, an ingredient found naturally in our white blood cells, to help strengthen your skin barrier and soothe rashes, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, and other skin irritations. It's similar to certain spendier refresh sprays, but without the cute bottle tax. A nail and cuticle oil to bring life back to your damaged nails, even if you did something really bad like — gasp! — peel off a gel manicure. Bonus: Reviewers say the oil smells amazing, so be prepared for people to compliment your "perfume." Ogx Argan Oil of Morocco Curl-Defining Cream for curls so bouncy you'll be jumping for joy (and to show them off). The argan oil-boosted formula moisturizes and tames frizz while adding a level of volume and shine you'd normally expect from a much higher price point. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement so your itchy dog can finally find some relief. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aide digestion, and promote healthy skin. Bonus: They add a nice shine to your dog's coat. Remember to consult your vet before trying new review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He's the happiest he's been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time so that's an added bonus!" —Darcie NationGet them from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in three sizes and three flavors). A pack of carborundum sponges — YES, the stuff they make bulletproof vest plates out of — because tough jobs require tough solutions. Just dip one of these in water and start scouring — the nano-particles will cut through intense grease, grime, and stuck-on food bits when all other earthly measures to keep your pots clean have failed. A box of Color Catcher sheets to prevent the dreaded "all my clothes are now pink from this one stray red sock" debacle. These handy sheets are designed to grab any dye that leaks or bleeds so you can keep enjoying your white tees. A crack weeder tool if your home looks like it's trying out to star in the next season of The Last of Us. The L-shaped head can sneak into tight spaces and tear out the weeds, moss, and stubborn roots that have rudely taken up residence in your sidewalk. A cruelty-free Essence Lash Princess lengthening mascara that's lightweight, won't transfer, doesn't smudge, and lasts all day — oh and makes your eyelashes look like tall, beautiful skyscrapers. Why Essence only charges $5 for such an S-tier mascara is beyond me, but we're all grateful. Or E.l.f Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara, which creates tubing around your lashes to make them appear longer, thicker, and darker. The lightweight "extensions" won't smudge or weigh down your actual lashes and — best of all — they fall right off when you wash your face. Priceless! A Tibet Almond scratch remover stick that you can apply like ChapStick for your furniture. The colorless balm can help hide light scratches, watermarks, and water stains from wood, bamboo, glass, and more. Just open the can, remove the wrapper, and start rubbing the stick on unsightly marks. A tube of Roc retinol night cream possibly imbued with time traveler magic, because it will feel like you're turning back the hands of time when you go to sleep each night. OK, maybe it won't be that dramatic, but the shea butter and squalane will hydrate, and the retinol will work hard to smooth and possibly reverse some signs of aging. This reviewer says it's a great alternative to prescription retinol. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray renowned in the parenting community thanks to its uncanny ability to erase stains from most fabrics in record time, all without harsh ingredients like chlorine, sulfates, or perfumes. Just spritz some on spilled juice, melted Popsicles, chocolate (hopefully), and more to watch them go *poof* and disappear. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen that's way more convenient than a painful trip to the dentist or an annoying attempt at the strips. Just brush your teeth with the bristled pen whenever you have a minute to work through stains and discoloration (without sensitivity, according to 800 5-star reviewers). A roll of scar tape, aka silicone sheets that mimic the skin's barrier, locking in moisture and preventing the excessive healing that could lead to scarring. Bonus: Some reviewers have used the tape as a short-term measure to reduce the appearance of fine lines — it temporarily smoothes the skin by keeping it taut overnight. Mielle's Rosemary Mint strengthening oil, a TikTok-hall-of-famer that almost 80,000 5-star reviews confirm is worth the hype. The biotin-infused serum can help strengthen hair and encourage new growth, leaving hair feeling fuller. Reviewers say it's helped with everything from receding hairlines to sparse eyebrows — who knew something so effective was just sitting on a drugstore shelf this whole time? A container of oatmeal paw butter that'll soothe and relieve your dog's cracked, dry paws. Its eco-friendly formula is pH-balanced so it's safe for pets, even if licked or swallowed. *seriously considers licking it myself to see if it really tastes like oatmeal* Promising review: "This stuff smells so good! It smoothed my dog's paw pads the next day. It felt so soft! This is a miracle I love this product and it's a great price! You get a good amount of product. Thank you so much. This has helped my pups so much!" —SamiGet it from Amazon for $15.05. Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm made with a blend of pearl barley and vitamin E to completely obliterate every speck of makeup on your face. Seriously, you'll feel so fresh and baby-faced, you'll wonder if that eyeliner was really as smudge-proof as you previously thought. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home. The carnauba wax and beeswax enhance and protect your wood from drying out, so you can keep your great-grandmother's rocking chair in tip-top shape with just a few swipes. Etude Dear Darling Water Tint, a smudge-proof lip tint and blush offering such a delicate pop of color, you'll wonder why you ever bothered with lipstick or powdered blush. Reviewers love that it's buildable, doesn't transfer, and works better than pricier brands. A shoe stretch spray if you have a pair of gorgeous loafers or sandals you love but never of the agonizing pain that comes with it. This spray will gradually stretch them out without staining or fading and is likely more effective than the freezer trick. A roll of 10M wood grain tape perfect for frameless mirrors that could use a little more panache. The waterproof adhesive is easy to apply and does a convincing impression of wood grain. When you're ready for a change, the tape peels off easily. A reviewer-loved scar gel made with panthenol to help encourage skin regeneration and allantoin to moisturize and help speed up the healing process. The formula even works on older scars, and customers have also used it to soothe burns, sunburns, and tattoos. An easy-to-apply, one-hour self-tanner that's cheaper yet more effective than most competitors. The vegan formula is easy to blend without streaks or uneven patches, which makes it a hit with beginners (36,000+ positive ratings and counting). While the tan may be instant, the fade is nice and gradual. A TikTok-loved lip plumper set with day and night serums that work together to give your pout a boost. Use the minty one at night to hydrate and smooth, and then the tingly ginger one to give your lips a little more volume. Fruit and veggie wash because just rinsing with water doesn't feel like enough and using actual soap feels like too much. This spray is the middle ground and helps safely remove wax, soil, and handling residue. Promising review: "This stuff is great and I have ordered it several times. In the past, I just rinsed fruit or vegetables, but I was at the grocery store recently and saw a very cute kid touching all the fruit. He also had a runny nose and I just thought, 'better remember to really wash the fruit when I get home.' The great thing about Veggie Wash is you can feel the wax film wash off of certain fruit. It really does a great job of cleaning and doesn't leave any odd smell or taste. As I said, I've bought this before and make sure my kitchen always has a spray bottle nearby." —Me in SoCalGet three spray bottles from Amazon for $25.86. A hair-lightening spray to brighten up hair by TWO shades or more! Spritz a little of this citrus and chamomile spray onto damp hair, then activate it with heat-styling tools. I recommend blow drying and hitting it with a curling iron or straightener for the best results. Over 7,000 5-star raters love it because it's less harsh than bleach and even works on dark hair.

20 Kitchen Gadgets People Regret Buying
If Amazon sales have ever tempted you into buying new, seemingly convenient gadgets for your kitchen, this is your official sign to reconsider. Recently, I asked Tasty readers about the kitchen gadgets they regret buying the most, and I'm honestly taking notes. Ahead, I've rounded up 20 different appliances people wish they had never bought. Hopefully, this can save a few of you from buyer's remorse: "A vacuum marinating box. In theory, it makes marinating more efficient as the vacuum draws the marinade into the meat quickly. In practice, it's a pain to get set up, the pump gets lost in the cupboard, and it doesn't actually work as well as a good, old-fashioned plastic bag. I should have known there was a reason it was marked down from $35 to $5!" —Stephen, 33, Ohio "I have a potato chip maker that sits in my cabinet. It was cool the first and second time we made them, but honestly, they're not that good, and slicing the potatoes that thin is a pain in the butt. Maybe I'll wow my grandkids with it, but for now it's hiding up on the shelf." "Turkey baster. We got it for a turkey once and then never used it." —Anonymous "Many hyper-specific 'Make your own X!' gadgets are my family's main regrets. A SodaStream and ice cream-making attachment for our KitchenAid comes to mind. You can only use them for specific foods and recipes, and it's more of a hassle than it's worth, especially now that I've found homemade ice cream recipes that don't need a maker or mixer." "Why did I buy the sous vide gadgets? I have never used them." —wickedmatcha306 "My automatic can opener." "A knife set. Only use three to four, and the rest sit in the knife block." —Anonymous "I bought a food chopper for garlic and herbs, but it didn't do a good job, required just as much work and time, and was hard to clean." "I bought an egg cooker that I've only used once, which makes hard-boiled eggs without tons of water. The thing works and was only $10, but nothing prepares you for the horrible screeching sound it makes when the eggs are done. The instructions don't make any mention of it. The noise scared me and my cats to death! I promptly cleaned up, put it back in its box, and threw it into the furthest recesses of my cabinet, never to see the light of day again. Regardless of the convenience and price, that screeching sound just isn't worth it!" —fluffycactus311 "Microwave omelette maker. Useless. My omelette turned out like a piece of old leather, and I followed the instructions." "Waffle maker. It takes up so much space!" —Sandra, Instagram "I bought one of those breakfast sandwich makers. Total waste of money." "Pasta roller. Not the attachment for the KitchenAid mixer, a standalone pasta roller that you can clamp to a table or countertop to roll out lasagna, fettuccine, or linguine. I've had it for 20 years and haven't used it even once. Oh, I've thought about using it plenty of times, but it's so much easier just to use dried pasta or even to get fresh pasta from the Italian store down the street from me." —Aubrey W "I bought a specialty large colander that fits my Delta sink that has a ledge to place items on. It's huge. I never use it. It doesn't store well, but I'm afraid to throw it away because what if one day I have to make five boxes of spaghetti or something?" "I carried around an apple corer across the country and into a new house, and finally I realized I'm not gonna make apple pie if I haven't in the last 10 years..." —Robin, Instagram "Juice extractor. I hate the cleanup." "Peeler and garlic press. I prefer using a knife to peel carrots/potatoes or chop the garlic. I forgot that I have both of these." —Anonymous "Ravioli maker. I've never used it." "Spätzle maker. I've used it once." —Adrienne, Instagram "Cheese cutter — just use a knife." What else belongs on this list? Let me know in the comments or fill out the anonymous form below!

39 Home Products You've Probably Put Off Buying (But They're Still Worth It, Especially Now)
A pack of transparent window fly traps because the flies are not paying rent and it's time to evict them. These ultra-sticky, non-toxic decals blend right into your windows while luring in everything from house flies to gnats. Peel, stick, and enjoy your bug-free home without a single zap or swat. Promising review: "This is disgusting and so stinking satisfying. I'm renting a house that does not have a screen door, and I have two young children who run in and out. They bring a lot of flies with them. I've tried several different things... But what's amazing about this is that you stick it on the window, you walk away, and you let the tape do all the work for you. Disgusting and fascinating to my toddlers? Yes and yes. Is that 18 fewer flies I'm chasing around the kitchen with the swatter? Oh yes." —Meaghan Get it from Amazon for $6.29+ (available in multiple pack sizes). A set of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows to replace your old pillows. These are big, fluffy, and soft, and everyone says it feels like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel when you use them. Yes, please! See them in action in TikTok user Aprill Mae's review: "Due to packaging, they are quite flat at first. Laid them flat for a few hours. Shook and fluffed them up and was able to sleep like a baby last night. These pillows are heavenly. I say that because it feels as though you're sleeping on a cloud. I slept with both. One under my head and one to hug. They stayed a comfortable temp all night long. The first morning, I didn't wake up with neck, shoulder, and back pain in over a week and a half. I feel rested and refreshed." —Amazon Customer"These are THE BEST pillows! I'm a side/stomach sleeper, and these provide the perfect amount of support for me. Exactly what I was looking for. I was a bit skeptical, given how inexpensive they are — I'm used to spending a lot on bedding — but I decided to trust the over 200,000 reviews, and I'm so glad I did. Highly, highly recommend." —Irene PopeGet it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in three sizes). And a set of silk-like pillowcases for dressing up your bedding without needing to spend big bucks. There are 35 colors available, so you're sure to find the right one for your bed's vibe. A 3-in-1 wireless charger to charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at the same time, no unsightly nest of cords required. A food storage set that includes eight 30-ounce containers with lids. The containers are glass, which means you won't get the food stains you often see with traditional plastic food storage containers. I use these for meal prepping all the time. Promising review: "Absolutely love this product! Makes storing and transporting my meals extremely easy and keeps everything fresh all week. Portion size is perfect. I fit a whole chicken breast plus rice in them with room to spare. The leak-proof design holds in freshness in and gives me peace of mind when transporting them in my backpack. When all is done they are extremely easy to clean." —RHGet it on Amazon for $35.99 (available in three colors). A jar of the The Pink Stuff — aka TikTok's favorite all-purpose cleaning paste. From everyday messes to years' worth of buildup, there's no grossness that this miracle cleaner can't take on. A Go Hang It! picture hanging and leveling kit that's here to save you from wall art purgatory. If measuring and leveling seems really daunting, this tool makes it easy. An outlet light if you need a little light here and there around the house. Perfect for those of us who take nightly bathroom breaks or want to safely get to the kitchen for a midnight snack without turning on all the overhead lights. An Instant Pot to pressure cook, slow cook, cook rice, steam, sauté...and even make yogurt. This is truly an amazing small appliance that will make cooking so many of your different dishes a breeze, I promise. And because it can do so much in such a little device, imagine all the countertop and cabinet space you'll save. Promising review: "This is quite possibly the coolest, most versatile kitchen gadget I've ever owned. I love it so much that I've purchased two more for friends and relatives. What can it do? I think the real question is 'What can't it do?' I truly believe you could replace every cooking appliance (including your oven and stove top) and do EVERYTHING in the Instant Pot. I purchased two sizes for my own use: the 3-quart (which is my almost-every-day workhorse for two person dishes) and the 8-quart (which I bring out to handle my dinner party dishes). Everything I've tried has been fabulous. In the realm of kitchen appliances, there is no better investment than the Instant Pot. Highly recommended!!!" —StereomanGet it from Amazon for $79.99. A microfiber spin mop so your mop isn't soaking wet before you get to cleaning. It's machine washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners, no problem. Or a flat mop that basically cleans itself, so you don't have to touch the grimy mop head (bless). The compact design makes it great for tight spaces, and the reusable microfiber pads mean you can keep your floors and walls sparkling without hauling out a giant mop setup every time. An automatic, odor-absorbing, sensor-activated trash can made of fingerprint-proof stainless steel. Who knew a single trashcan could do so much? Promising review: "I bought this trash can eight years ago. At the time, it was hard to find any stainless-steel trash cans for an affordable price, so the fact that this was the most reasonable and it had the automated lid seemed like a pretty easy choice. It still looks great and works great. You can wave over the sensor to open the lid, or there is a button on the front of it to open the lid and keep it open. The lid does a great job of holding any odors in while it's closed." —SomniGet it from Amazon for $49.07+ (available in 13 styles). A veggie chopper so that prepping an abundance of food is easier than doing it all by hand. Give yourself a break with this chopper that uses four blades to julienne, chop, and slice vegetables with ease. A nonslip, quick-dry stone bath mat if you're tired of soggy bath mats that take forever to dry. This is made out of diatomaceous earth (fancy, right?), which dries faster than you can say "bye-bye mildew." Dorai is a small business in Salt Lake City that makes everyday items for the home. Promising review: "The last bathroom mat you will ever need! This product has been a game-changer for us. We liked it so much, we gifted it to a few of our friends, and they all loved it, too! The standout feature is how it almost instantly dries your feet with a unique suction effect — once you experience this, there's no going back to regular bathmats. It's versatile, performing well in both hot and cold weather, and the included slip-resistant rubber mat is a thoughtful addition." —Joshua it from Amazon for $69+ (available in two colors and two styles). A multi-plug outlet with six electric outlets, two USB ports, and a built-in nightlight. The nightlight has three levels of brightness, and can turn on automatically when it senses the area getting dark. An expandable shelf for under your sink that adjusts itself around your awkwardly shaped pipe. You will be able to fit so much more stuff under your sink when you use this! Measures 15 inches long x 11.25 inches wide x 15 inches high and can expand to 25 inches review: "I'm so glad I bought this. I have a 24-inch vanity in my bathroom and this fit perfectly. I have it extended to about 23-inch and it holds sturdy, though I can see if you were to extend it to its full length it gets weak in the middle. I liked it so much that I ordered another one for the kitchen. I got some clear bins to help organize bottles and other goodies I keep in the bath." —Marlene it from Amazon for $24.87 (available in three finishes). A garlic chopper to mince or chop garlic for you. You literally just put up to five regular-size cloves in it and then use your hand to roll this thing on any smooth surface, and it chops it all up in a matter of seconds. If you want to mince it, you keep rolling for maybe 10 more seconds. I have one of these and sticky hands and knives are now a thing of the past. Promising review: "Love! Love! Love the GarlicZoom! Mincing garlic has never been more easy or fun. It makes mince work out of garlic, onion, chilies and herbs. I'm not sure what I love most about this little gadget. Not smelling stinky garlic fingers all night? No burning fingers or eyes from chopping a super hot chile? Or mincing fresh herbs in a blink of an eye. I have a problem wrist from an injury and an arm and hand that suffers from nerve damage. I can still manage to zoom this. When people ask if the can help in the kitchen, this is the chore that I give them and everyone loves it. They think it's the neatest little thing." —Kennedy CollinsGet it from Amazon for $14.61. A pack of Affresh dishwasher-cleaning tablets for making sure your dishwasher is super clean and therefore capable of making sure your dishes are too. All you do is drop a tablet into the dishwasher before you run a load, and it does all the work from there. Promising reviews: "Works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and there was detergent buildup all over the inside, and a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. There was still some buildup and I figured it would require another cycle, so I popped another two tablets in, and now it looks and sounds brand new. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors or buildup around the door seals." —MartouneGet a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. Some sleek transparent dividers to separate clothes into categories. Sweaters, pants, T-shirts, and more will finally have a place inside your closet that doesn't require being hung up. Promising review: "These dividers have changed my life! I put them on the top shelf of my clothes closet and divide sections into the type of clothes I want. One section has blue jeans, another section has black pants, another section has lightweight summer pants, and I can see everything just looking up at the shelf. My closet is no longer a mess, and the top shelf above the hanging clothes is no longer the place where I just throw things and can't keep track of them. I never knew what was up there and now I do! As I said I just bought a second set of them for my second closet." —Elizabeth Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two, four, six, or eight). A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that uses magical blue foam to rid your garbage disposal of foodstuff and odor. I have these and actually look forward to using them, they're that great. You push one of the biodegradable packets into your drain and then turn the water on. Before you know it, this blue foam starts bubbling up from your drain(s) and after a few minutes completely disappears. After that, the drain is super clean and those lingering smells are gone. Here's what you do: Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear. Garbage disposer = clean and ickiness-free. Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer KGet two packs of four from Amazon for $12.97. A set of two toothpaste squeezers so you get every last ounce of toothpaste out of the tube. It also holds your toothpaste upright, which means it won't take up as much valuable countertop space. I really hate wasting product, but so many bottles and tubes make it impossible to get the last couple of tablespoons of stuff out. I can't stand this! With this squeezer, I literally get ALL the toothpaste out before I need a new tube, and it's soooo satisfying. Promising review: "These work great. They keep even a full tube upright so the bathroom counter looks tidier. The key twists the empty section of the tube easily so every bit of the toothpaste is used with no fuss. Have one for my husband and me and for each of the two kids. Highly recommend this product." —Chelley PattersonGet a set of two from Amazon for $7.80+ (available in two color combinations). A pumice stone for removing hard water stains in your toilet's bowl. Considered a must-have cleaning tool, if there's a stain in your toilet that you're sure is permanent, try this out and watch it disappear like magic. Powerstone is a small business that makes home cleaning products out of pumice stone. Promising review: "The holy grail of toilet cleaning. Oh wow! I am so happy with this pumice! It removed all the buildup from my hard water easily and quickly! I was thinking I would have to buy a new toilet and start over and just try to clean it every day. I've NEVER been so pleased with a product!" —TashaGet it from Amazon for $12.87+. (be sure to clip the 20% off coupon when applicable; available in packs of one or two). Some motion-activated, battery-powered night-lights to illuminate dark areas in your home. I use these in closets, deep cabinets, and my bathroom that has a really loud fan that turns on every time I switch the light on. A roll-up drying rack so you can let dishes and produce dry without taking up valuable countertop space. And because it goes over the sink, no need to worry about water dripping all over the place. A utility wagon to haul all your heavy stuff around. I used mine nearly every day — getting groceries and heavy packages into my apartment, taking recycling down to the bins. And to add more icing to the cake, it completely collapses when not in use. A 15-piece set of airtight food containers, because your pantry staples deserve a designated home. This set has over 24,600 5-star reviews for a reason, it's that good. Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and enough variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pastas and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problems." —R MGet it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). A rapid egg cooker to cook up to six eggs five different ways with a push of a button. Hard boil, soft boil, poach, scrambled, even omelets — this tiny appliance will do it all so you don't have to. Promising review: "If you are on the fence about getting one of these, GET ONE. It really is as easy as it sounds to have a perfectly cooked egg, no guesswork. Just have an ice bath ready next to the cooker and let the eggs sit for a minute or two in come right off :) Makes healthy eating a breeze in the morning! Where has this been all my life?!?!?" —rebeccaGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in six colors).Check out our Dash Rapid Egg Cooker review. A CovoBox that provides hidden storage for unsightly things like routers and bulky cords. Each box is made right here in the USA with real wood and reclaimed books. A dishwasher magnet to let you know if the dishes are clean or dirty. With just one swipe you never have to worry about unloading dishes that haven't actually been washed. A windproof rechargeable lighter for all your candles and grilling needs. The flexible neck makes it easy to light hard to reach wicks, and it'll spark 400 times before it needs to be recharged. Promising reviews: "I'm a candle-freak, so I was tired of using a regular lighter and then having to rig up something to reach the wicks as my candles burned down. I had seen these lighters previously, read through the reviews and decided to purchase. I've been very happy with my purchase. After reading reviews, I just make sure to clean the lighter with the little brush that's included, to make sure there is no wax on it, each time I use it. I have had no problems." —MMGet it from Amazon for $7.99. A nontoxic, plant- and mineral-based essentials cleaning kit so that you can keep your home sparkling clean without the use of harsh chemicals. The kit may give you sticker shock, but after you factor in how many times you can refill each bottle with the magical concentrate, it breaks down to about the same price per bottle of cleaner you'd buy at a big store. Each kit comes with a 33.8 oz bottle of cleaning concentrate and three refillable bottles for all-purpose cleaner, bathroom cleaner, and glass cleaner. Branch Basics is a woman-owned small business based in Minneapolis, making high-quality, non-toxic cleaning review: "This is the cleaning solution I've been needing for so long. Having young kids, I'm constantly thinking about ingredients and what's healthy for our family. I LOVE there is no smell, and I can use for so many things around my house. Thank you for creating a such an amazing cleaning brand.❤️ I love this." —Whitney T. Get it from Branch Basics for $67+ (available in plastic or glass bottles). A dual-spray showerhead for a better bathing experience. The handheld head is great for making sure you never get out of the shower not realizing your hair still has conditioner in it. A set of drawer organizers that'll help keep your socks, bras, undies, and more from overflowing and taking over your bedroom floor. You'll get 45 cells out of this set, so there really will be a place for everything. The set includes four bins: one with six cells for scarves and tights, eight square cells for underwear, seven wide cells for bras, and 24 small cells for review: "I love these things; they're so versatile. I have them all over: drawers, closet shelves, cabinets. I use them for more than just underwear too. I use them for dry art supplies in open shelves and just about anywhere else I need to organize." —Kindle MacGet it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in seven colors). And a honeycomb divider if your drawer is a sea of mismatched socks. This tiny but mighty divider will create 18 pockets, though reviewers say bigger drawers can accommodate two sets — so 36 pockets. The set snaps together with maximum dimensions of 13.25 inches x14.38 inches, but you can snap two (or more!) packs together if you want to fill more drawer space!Promising review: "Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to find... Wow. I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble." —BrigetteGet it from Amazon for $9.17+ (available in black or white). A moisture meter to place deep down into the soil so you know exactly how much water your plant is getting. Under- and overwatering can be a thing of the past, people! A two-stage knife sharpener, because preparing food with a dull knife is never a good idea. Keep all your knives sharp with this easy tool that only requires a few swipes to make it like new again. Promising review: "Wow, this little gadget is pretty amazing! I have some old (expensive) nonserrated knives that are supposed to never need sharpening but unfortunately, lost their sharp edge long ago. I saw this gadget and decided to try it. I set the bottom of this gadget on the edge of the counter and ran one of the knives through the side labeled 'Coarse' about 10 times, then ran it through the side labeled 'Fine' another 8–10 times. Bingo! The knife was transformed back to its former high-dollar cutlery glory. I could hardly believe how effectively it had sharpened the knife, which I had been ready to throw away a week before. I've been happily sharpening all our knives and trying to add up in my head how much money I've saved by NOT having to buy another set of expensive knives. Great score!" —Schelly L. WagonerGet it from Amazon for $8.70+ (available in three colors).Read our full review of the KitchenIQ knife sharpener. A pair of smartplugs that you can control with your voice or the accompanying app. If you want the lights to be on when you get home, just use the app to make sure it happens. Either turn them on remotely through the app or schedule a time for them to turn on. Promising review: "I purchased the two pack for these smart outlets. They are very easy to setup and link to your home Wi-Fi via the intuitive app. The app itself is great and it is easy to link up and control multiple smart outlets and even allows you to take pictures of the device that is powered by the outlet and set up schedules for on/off times which makes it very convenient for lamps or other devices you want to run at night only. The app also comes with a widget as well which can be viewed from the lock screen which is very useful because It reduces the amount of push notifications you get on a daily basis. The device itself also has a manual on/off button as well so if your Wi-Fi goes out you can still manually operate the device as well. I would purchase this again." —Samson GebreGet a pack of two from Amazon for $14.96. A double closet rod for getting the most out of your closet's vertical space. All those blouses, jackets, and shirts are taking up way too much valuable real estate, so literally double your space with this nifty tool. Promising review: "This is sturdy and lightweight. This closet rod doubled my available space in seconds. There is plenty of space on the top rod for longer shirts and tops and shorter ones fit perfectly on the lower rod, without touching the floor. Plus, hangers stay in place and don't slide to one end or the other based on how heavy items are, and so far the rod hasn't sagged or bowed at all. And I have all my sweatshirts and heavy fleece jackets on the bottom rod. Space will obviously depend on the height of the closet rod you hang this from, but I would highly recommend this for anyone with need of more closet space!!" —CCBunEGet it from Amazon for $15.99. And a magnetic bobby pin tray so that all your pins stay in one place instead of literally everywhere else. I find bobby pins everywhere — under my sofa cushions, in the back of drawers, at the bottom of the laundry bin — and it's entirely preventable with a simple tool like this.
