I dropped it somewhere between this hard water remover and these snazzy fridge organizers. I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives. Promising review: "We have hard well water and I have been struggling for years to remove the brown toilet ring and stains around the bowl in my toilet. I have tried [so many types of cleaners]. I left each to sit for hours and each of them did absolutely NOTHING to remove any of the stains. A pumice stone did take some off but it took forever just to clean one tiny little spot, so the whole bowl would have taken hours or even days to finish, not to mention I felt like I was going to scratch the bowl. I saw this brand mentioned in a cleaning group online and decided I have nothing to lose. I used a blue Scotch Brite scrubber pad to apply this and it actually WORKED!! The photo shows the bottom half is the part that I used BioClean on and the top half still has the ring and brown stains. My toilet bowl has never looked actually clean like that since we first moved into this house and it was a brand new toilet. I still have to do the rest of the toilet but I am so glad I found this product. All other toilet bowl cleaners are basically useless to me, I will be purchasing this item from Amazon for life. It also cleaned stains off my brushed nickel faucet and porcelain sink that no other cleaner had touched. There is no strong chemical scent either." —StillWaters Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). Each drawer contains two layers of storage space with a panel that can be adjusted or removed so you can fit different shoe types and sizes, like chunky platforms, heels, and mid-boots. Promising review: "I absolutely love this!! It fits perfectly in my space, my kids actually put their shoes in it now instead of just throwing them by the door. It's nice to look at, it's sturdy, the drawers open and shut easily, and we can fit so many pairs of shoes in there!!" —Kristin Guthrie Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in 11 styles and four sizes). Promising review: "What a brilliant product! If you are a parent, or even grandparent, that is absolutely sick of Legos being littered across the floor and being sucked up by the vacuum, then this is the product for you lol! It teaches kids how to stay organized and also [protects your peace]. It's an extremely durable product. I’ve had no issues with it tearing or with the zipper. The size is perfect if you have a crap ton of Legos like us too... I swear the bottom just keeps going lol! It’s perfect for travel as well! My seven-year-old can easily access it and put it all away on his own so it’s extremely kid-friendly as well." —Celeste Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three colors). The double-sided cleaner can be used with the extended handle or as a handheld brush, and can be used either wet or dry. It's also reusable — just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses. Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews, but this product is amazing. I’ve struggled with stains in our toilets because of well water. I’ve tried product after product, elbow grease, and straight bleach, but could never completely get the mineral stains and lime scale off. I found this and decided it was worth a try. It is a miracle worker!!! I removed all the stains from five toilets within 45 minutes. No scratches, and I still have a third of the original pumice — it’s durable and well worth the small cost of the product. I’m a customer for life!!" —Kimberley B. Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in packs of two, four, six, and 12). Promising review: "This product is IMMACULATE. 100/10 recommend. I only got a picture of my toilet tank about four hours into putting a third of the bottle in, and then after eight hours, but prior to using it, our toilet tank was like blood red with iron (well water) and other minerals. It’d gotten so bad that our toilet was having a hard time flushing, but not even half of the bottle and it’s pretty much ALL gone. It completely got rid of the staining, our toilet is flushing 100% easier, and I haven’t noticed as much staining. I saw some complaints about smell but honestly I had no smell complaints. I did get a long thin scrub brush just to pick up some of the stuff that settled at the bottom of the tank, but this instant power powder stuff did like 99% of the work on its own." —Soraya Get it from Amazon for $5.28 (also available in a pack of six). Promising reviews: "I love how easy these were to put together. Barely any effort for assembly. I use them for laundry overflow. When I've folded clothes but don't have the energy to put them away yet, but don't want them on my bed. lol. They are extremely sturdy, and they stack so easily." —Lady Kreshawn "Most organized my hallway closet has ever been in 35 years. The green trays are sturdy and stack nicely on top of each other. Lightweight. I put heavier items in the bottom trays. And lighter items in the upper trays, so they slide easy and maintain their balance when sliding them back or forwards, depending on which tray you're getting your items out of. And a nice size and good deal for the price." —Placeholder Get a pack of five from Amazon for $39.99 (available in four colors and as a pack of eight). Promising review: "Exactly as pictured. It looks nice and high quality. Assembly was pretty easy, and the needed tools were included. Very well and carefully packaged, it arrived in perfect condition. I love the size, design, and functionality. I got it to store glasses by my water cooler, and it’s perfect with the adjustable shelf. Overall — love it!" —Pamela H. Get it from Amazon for $79.79+ (available in five styles). Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes, larger packs, and in a kit with cleaning pads). Btw— Hope's also makes a countertop cleaner and polish! Promising review: "Didn’t think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn’t think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." —thekuan Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer Get a set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and in a pack of two and eight). The kit includes LED star lights, star wall decals, and a setup kit complete with three hooks and anchors. Also, the hammock measures about 56"x42"! Promising review: "SO cute, SO high quality. My partner and I own a lot of stuffed animals. They were taking over the entire house. Stuffies EVERYWHERE! I was not expecting this to be so beautiful and sturdy in person, and I couldn’t be happier! I love that it came with a string light and star stickers, too. Absolutely precious. I don’t have kids, but I’m a kid at heart, and this was everything I could hope for! It saves us so much room, and it looks so nice! It’s high-quality, thick material. I love that it comes in my favorite shade of gray, and it holds a stupendous amount of plushies with no issues." —Skye Get it from Amazon for $35.95+ (available in two sizes and eight colors). This is great for a bit of low-effort weekly maintenance, but if your shower is in need of a ~deep clean~, you can use this a few times in a row to get it all washed up before starting that once-a-week schedule. Promising review: "SO impressed with this product! Nothing was getting this buildup off the tub, and then I tried this upon recommendation. I am blown away by the results and how easy it is to use. No scrubbing, just spray, rinse after 24 hours, and go! Definitely will be buying this for the rest of my life. Also has a very nice light smell!" —Casey And grab that sleek cable sleeve while you're at it! Promising reviews: "I've been searching for something to not only hide the cord mess but protect them from my munch monster of a cat. This box in addition to cable straps and cable wrap has solved my cable management like magic! I highly recommend this product." —Lauryn "Seriously where has this been all my life??? Highly recommend. Excellent cord management soulmate (I meant to type solution and it autocorrected to soulmate, however I think that’s accurate LOL.) Just get it. Won’t regret." —April Olsen Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes, three colors, and in a kit with a power strip). Promising review: "This stuff works fast! Used this two days before family came to visit on a couple of dog pee spots on carpet that I had tried to clean previously with different products. It took two applications but I was finally able to get the smell out of the room and it left no chemical smell either! I also used it on a recent pee spot where he had just peed on my rug, and when I sprayed it on the rug, you could literally see the color of the pee stain being lifted out of the fabric. I let it sit for a while and blotted with a cotton cleaning towel and then scrubbed it out and let it air dry. I never wanted a dog in my house for this reason but now that I’ve found this, I guess he can stay around awhile longer! lol" —King Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (also available as a two-pack). Promising review: "We loved these containers and have now bought 20 to hold our entire game closet! We have been able to fit several games in some. Easy to store and easy for my kids to find and then put away when finished. Good quality, haven't had any problems with durability yet, and we play a LOT of games." —bradfieldfamily Get a pack of four from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a pack of eight). Promising review: "I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter." —Shari Schmidt Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three styles and as a three- or four-pack). Promising review: "I have a tiny kitchen with only three drawers, so space is at a premium. My silverware organizer took up almost all of one drawer, so this organizer is a godsend. You can fit quite a few spoons etc. in each slot. My beater attachments fit perfectly into the top two hollows. I will say I have to flip my forks over face down in order to be able to shut and open my drawer, but then the drawer itself is kind of shallow. You NEED this if you have a small kitchen with few drawers!" —mialro Get it from Amazon for $10.49+ (available in three sizes). PS: You can get the knife organizer (also pictured above) for $12.80. Promising reviews: "This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." —Jaiden "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." —Patricia C Tinney Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in packs of two and three). Check out a TikTok of the rectangular lazy Susan in action. Promising review: "Wow! I love this turntable organizer! I can fit so many items on it, and because of that, I now have so much more space on the door shelves. With this organizer, I will have easy access to all of those extra items that just don't have their own space. Now they do have a place to go! I would highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to feel more organized and doesn't want to lose items in their fridge." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and as a two-pack). Promising review: "These are fantastic! You clip them on the door shelf and voila! Extra space! Who doesn't need extra storage nooks?! I use one for packets of sauces that arrive with our DoorDash orders, and keep my live ginger in the other one. I love them!" —Dani Elle Get a pack of four from Amazon for $11.99 (available in white and blue and packs of two or three).\ Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I’d bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don’t even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning, but I actually enjoy using this — it’s so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." —Modern Homeschoolers "Pet owner lifesaver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. It’s so easy to use and minimizes the yuck factor of dealing with pet stains. That’s important to me because I hate tackling cleaning jobs like this. It’s compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it’s not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. YouTube has some great tips on video." —Zona lady Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in a deluxe or mini styles). If you end up making a taller storage case like the one pictured above, you can secure it to the wall with Command strips like the reviewer did for extra stability. Promising review: "This is hands-down one of the best makeup and organization-related purchases I have ever made. I bought this about two years ago, and it is still in perfect condition. I cleaned it today, so I thought I would show y'all what can fit in there. I use a shot glass for my eyeshadow brushes because it's easier to grab them. They fit in there, too, though, as well as the palette. I actually just ordered another one of these, with the three larger bottom drawers, and am eagerly awaiting it!" —CODY D Get one top and four drawers from Amazon for $16.50 (available in four sizes and four colors). Promising review: "Ordered this to help free up drawer space in my small bathroom and it has saved so much space so far. And it doesn't look cluttered on the countertop, and the grey matches with my bathroom color. My other family member got the green one and is also very beautiful." —Mackenzie Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two- or three-tier styles and in four colors). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." Promising review: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors and a mini style). Promising review: "Does it work too good??? Lol. No, it works great! But, it does make the rest of the concrete look sad. I park in my neighbor's driveway (not important why) and obviously never want to be rude and stain it. But, the other day I look and there is an oil spill. A big one. (I had recently gotten an oil change and they didn't secure the plugs correctly!) So, I put down baking soda, let it absorb. Next step, Dawn and scrubbing. Nope. Didn't work. So, I researched and got this product. Test spot was perfect! So, I did the other two spots and the rest of the big spill. Small ones came out easy next day. I didn't think the big spot worked because it was still a bit moist when I started brushing. So, I just planned to do it another day. But, when I looked the next day, rinsed everything off, used the brush to get rid of the last bit — gone. Truly an excellent product and I'm very grateful it worked because I would hate to stain my neighbor's driveway." —Me Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "These are so cute and very easy to set up. I have my hairclips and scrunchies in them. I love that they are stackable, so they don't take up too much space. They're about the same size as my hand, so they're relatively small. They're good for storing little things like mini hand lotions and hand sanitizer. If you're thinking about getting them, I highly recommend them!" —Dog_Mom Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two other sizes, packs of two or four, and seven colors). This also works on other moldy areas, like grout lines and window frames. Promising review: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four sizes and as a two-pack). Promising review: "Before and after picture. I was able to clear up space on my countertop by having this magnetic storage on the side of the fridge. The magnet is Super Strong, let me tell you. I could barely move it once it was stuck on — not like a normal magnet. I could always move it on the other side of the refrigerator and replace it later if it makes more sense, but for now it’s placed perfectly for how we maneuver in our kitchen. We live in an apartment, so vertical space is always something I’m looking to utilize. Great product I would recommend highly. —Kevin Get it from Amazon for $25.63+ (available in six colors, two sizes, and in a pack of two). And if that magnetic knife holder in the reviewer image is catching your eye, they purchased this one and gave it a 5-star review! These pads are compatible with the original Swiffer. The company also sells a version of these mop pads that work with the Swiffer Wet Jet! Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably. Promising review: "This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" —Isabella M. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99. Promising review: "Holy moly guys.. this stuff is AMAZING. I have a cheap plastic tub-shower combo in my rental apartment, and I've tried everything to clean the mold and mildew buildup. Countless hours of scrubbing and money on different products. I've even considered replacing it on my own dime. I sprayed this product, and without any scrubbing, it all disappeared! I was so happy. The real test was my washing machine. It had built up mold on the rubber gasket around the door. Another thing I've spent time and money on to get clean without any results. I sprayed a little and let it sit for 20 minutes, and when I checked, it was almost completely gone! I wiped it up, sprayed a little more, and it came back in 20 minutes, and it was like new. The only warning: if you use it in a closed space like a bathroom, turn on the vent, window, fan, and use a mask because the smell is strong. Aside from that.. I am a customer for life. So glad I came across this product." —Dennise Delgado Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three sizes and sold individually or in a four-pack). The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. The drill isn't included, but you can get a basic Black and Decker one here. Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors/stiffness levels, as well as variety packs). Promising review: "I put these in my closet to make extra shelves for sweaters/sweatshirts. They were easy to assemble and worked great at adding additional space to my closet. I like that my clothes don’t topple over into the pile next to them anymore. They were easy to put together, and if I move they will be easy to take apart, put in a small box and move. I'm very happy with this purchase." —Goldensummerdog Get it from Amazon for $23.52+ (available in three colors and two sizes). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has a lot of good things to say about these: "This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Promising review: "Confession time. I am a bit of a shoe fiend. These little shoe slots have allowed me to fit way more shoes in my closet shelving (yay!) AND having them organized like this keeps my shoes much nicer — since they aren't all scraping against each other. It also helps me remember which shoes I have — since they are all visible. :) The little heel stoppers pop out every so often when I am getting shoes, which is sort of annoying, but still a 5-star purchase." —MoniqueRamsey Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in a pack of 20 and 40). Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.98 (also available as a pack of 12 and 36). * If You Feel Torn Between A Deep Desire For A Clean House And Deep Laziness, Get These 27 Products * Products You Should Buy Now If You Want Your Home Clean And Tidy All Summer Long * Things To Make You Feel Like A Total Laundry Pro * Your Windowsill, Under The Couch, And 25 Other Places In Your Home That You Should Probably Clean ASAP * If You Would Rather Watch Paint Dry Than Clean, These 30 Things Will Make The Process So Much Easier BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
