If Your Messy Home Makes You Uncomfortable, These 32 Products Are Screaming Your Name
A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.
A two-tier sliding shelf if there are cabinets in your home that everyone knows to absolutely never open for fear of triggering an avalanche of junk. These durable baskets are up to the task of corralling all the random bits and bobs you own, so every bit of storage space is usable.
Some Command cord bundlers if your house is full of gadgets and gizmos aplenty and their cords are ugly and sprawled over every surface of your home. Tie them up neatly and stick 'em to your devices so you never have to go rooting around for a rubber band.
And speaking of cables, an electrical outlet cover with a power strip to hide cluttered cords stat. It's also pretty great if you want to push your furniture right up against the wall but can't because your phone charger adapter is in the way.
A jewelry cabinet cleverly disguised as a mirror cleverly disguised as a mirror for anyone who's basically given up on wearing jewelry because detangling the pile of necklaces in your jewelry box is not something you have the time or desire to handle.
A beeswax wood polisher so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets and table quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood or furniture piece, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.
A pack of stain-removing pads because owning a pet is messy but these pads are up to the task. Pee? Check! Poop? Check! Vomit? Check! (You can even use them to clean up your wine spills.) Just lay them over the spot, give 'em a stomp to activate their cleaning powders, and watch the stain disappear — no bulky carpet steamer necessary!
An EasyWring microfiber spin mop if you're envious of the sparkly clean floors you see on #CleanTok. Its specially designed microfiber mop head (which is machine washable, btw!) is so effective at grabbing dirt and grime that you can skip the harsh chemicals and clean with just water! And ofc it has a built-in wringer and splash guard (no one wants dirty water splattered on their face!).
A plant-based stainless steel cleaner and polish that'll help you conquer the very time-consuming task of wiping down all the appliances in your kitchen. Reviewers say it helps keep your surfaces smudge-free for longer, meaning less cleaning for you!
A pack of shelf dividers to organize your clothes into neat and distinct piles. These dividers provide stability for soft clothes that tend to fall over into one big pile of mess.
A pumice cleaning stone for powering through tough rust, lime, and calcium streaks that have retired many a toilet scrubbing brush. Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy rub away discoloration with ease. This nontoxic cleaner is tough on dirt but gentle on porcelain, so you can sit atop the glistening throne you deserve.
A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you can polish your toilet without ever having to pick up a dirty toilet brush. *shudders* The stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet.
A Baseboard Buddy because it makes cleaning easy when the dust and cobwebs are up high or down low thanks to its 4-foot extendable pole. Don't be too slow to add this to your cart! Your dirty baseboards, ceiling fans, grates, and molding are quaking.
A pet hair remover if you're tired of getting fur all over your clothes. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!
A large capacity rotating makeup organizer for neatly storing your makeup and skincare so you can reclaim the already limited counter space in your bathroom.
A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets to clean your machine as it runs. No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes.
A 15-piece set of airtight food containers for helping you achieve a pantry that looks a professional organized it. Sure, pasta is great and all but aren't you tired of buying boxes of spaghetti only to realize you had an unopened box shoved in the back of your cupboard? This will help you figure out what you do and don't have at a glance.
A heavy-duty oven scrub so it's like the years of baked-on dinner explosions and drippings that coat the inside of your oven — poof! — never happened. It'll clean stains right before your eyes; no need to let it sit overnight!
A Bissell Little Green machine because your living room looks like you're running a doggy daycare out of it. This portable upholstery and carpet cleaner cleans deeply, penetrating household fabrics and even car interiors to erase any sign of your pet's accidents.
A blind cleaner brush if you don't have the time or energy to clean each blind individually. Work smarter not harder!
A grout paint pen that'll cover up years of residue from dirty feet, uncleaned spills, and mysterious stains that bother you every time you look down at your floors. It works like a regular marker, so even people who failed art can use it.
A fabric defuzzer to remove lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz that's magically accumulated on your couch. It has a handy lint catcher as well as three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want.
A Bissell carpet and floor sweeper for quick and quiet cleaning sessions. It cleans without electricity (just run it over pet hair, crumbs, dirt, etc.) so it's not loud or heavy due to cords and large vacuum bags.
A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste so you can restore your walls and dressers when your little ones go Baby Picasso on your furniture with a permanent marker.
A silverware sorter because you cringe every time you open the drawer and see your forks, knives, and spoons spilling out of their tray.
A copper and brass polish if your sinks, pots, pans, mugs, jewelry, doorknobs, and more aren't shining as much as they once did.
Some washing machine cleaning tablets that'll clean and freshen the inside while dissolving residue because you keep your washing machine open when it's not in use yet it still smells moldy. What gives?
And a cleaning gel to get rid of mold and buildup on your washing machine gasket (bet ya didn't even know you should be cleaning here). Let it sit for a few hours or overnight and then easily wipe it clean with a rag.
A tea bag organizer for helping you finally — finally! — organize your tea bag collection. This won't just help you hide the clutter of half-full boxes, but it'll help you actually get rid of the clutter!
A drill brush kit so your arm isn't out of commission for a whole day after aggressively scrubbing stains for 10 minutes. Just attach the scrubbing brush head, flip the switch on your drill, and watch the dirt go straight down the drain.
A set of stainless-steel S-shaped hangers because you can basically only fit like three pairs of pants in your drawer before there's no room left. These will maximize hanging space so you can store all your pants neatly in the closet and use the valuable drawer space for other clothes.
A flexible silicone kitchen sink organizer that'll neatly hold your sponge, dish soap, hand soap, and more. (I can't be the only one who gets annoyed when my roommate leaves a wet sponge just sitting on the counter!) And it wipes clean since it's made of silicone so you don't have to worry about yucky mold and mildew.

Why are people freezing laundry detergent? Experts say this viral hack is a bad idea
When it comes to laundry days, we all want to make light work of chores, which is why many households are switching to single-use laundry pods. Not only does this cut out the guess work of measuring traditional laundry detergent into your washing machine, but this is more convenient, less messy and easier to store. So it comes as no surprise that the 'CleanTok' community are coming up with their own easy ways to create their own DIY pods. Social media has become a popular platform for viral cleaning hacks, and people sharing their 'genius' tips to make household chores quick and easy. However, experts are warning against this bizarre, laundry detergent trend that may cause more harm than good. TikTok users are now pouring liquid detergent into silicone trays, and freezing it for a few hours to make their homemade pods. In fact, some users have even added scent booster beads to their solution. So why are they doing this? This laundry hack is to prevent people from using way too much liquid detergent for each load, making it more efficient and convenient. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Secondly, standard laundry pods contain a plastic coating that doesn't always properly dissolve in the wash — making frozen pods more eco-friendly. I love it!.🥰Got my clothes smelling good ash!…☺️ But, while this may seem like a logical explanation and will save time, freezing laundry detergent is actually a bad idea. According to experts, certain liquid detergents can freeze more easily than others (leaving a slippery mess), and shouldn't be exposed to extreme temperatures. Because chemical-based, liquid detergents were not designed to be frozen, the ingredients will separate once they thaw in the wash — affecting your overall clean. 'Tide Liquid is specifically formulated to be highly concentrated, so it does not freeze completely due to its low water content,' says Kim Romine, Tide's fabric care scientist to BHG. 'Only detergents with high water content are likely to freeze.' What's more, since chemical-based, liquid detergents were not designed to be frozen, the ingredients will separate once they thaw in the wash — affecting your overall clean. 'Cooling down the temperature will result in some of the components losing their solubility,' added Bryan Quoc Le, PhD, food scientist and founder of Mendocino Food Consulting. 'This is generally not a big deal if the detergent is chemical-based, but if the detergent is bio-based and contains enzymes, this can damage the enzymes and reduce their efficacy.' Expert advice is to always stick to the proper method by pouring the liquid detergent into the dispenser or directly into the machine drum. This will ensure that you always get the best cleaning results from your detergent. After all, the last thing you want is to re-wash your laundry — costing you housework time and money. Also, be sure to avoid these big laundry mistakes you're probably making.
