You can also use it to dust your couch, carpet, or clothes.

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: "Our front entry room has been a minefield of shoes all over the floor. I nagged and pestered my kids and husband to stack their shoes on our tiny shoe shelf or to take shoes they don’t use much to their rooms, but still, there was a pile. And I had no idea what to do about it. Until I saw a reel of a shoe cabinet like this one! Our whole family is using it, and my entry room floor is finally shoe-free. The shelf is beautiful. It went together easily, and the drawers closed perfectly. It has completely solved this problem for me. I am obsessed with my new shoe cabinet, and I highly recommend it to anyone. One word of caution: My husband has size 10.5 (in men’s) feet, and his shoes have to go in at sort of a diagonal to make them fit, and I think he can only get five or six pairs into his drawer. I wear size 10.5 in women’s, and mine fit just fine." —Jeri

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helen Simmons

Just FYI, reviewers note that this works best for fine/hairline cracks, or tile that is damaged but not enough to warrant replacement.

Promising review: "We have several long cracks in our ceramic tile floor, and I used this repair kit and was very surprised at how it filled the cracks and pretty much made them disappear. We are thrilled with the results." —Timothy G.

Get it from Amazon for $18.49+ (available in 23 colors).

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Promising review: "This clip is amazing. No more towels falling on the floor. It was becoming a routine thing since my cat thinks it's fun to pull the kitchen towels off the oven. Not now, bad kitty! Great product...wish I had bought one sooner!" —Joanna

Promising review: "My spouse asked that I look into a product that helps lift a mattress, and she had seen this in an advertisement on TV. This plastic tool aids in lifting a mattress so that sheets can be changed on the mattress. She told me that this product made it easier to lift the mattress and that her hands no longer ached as much as they did without using the product. She is satisfied with the product, and if she is, then I am also. I would order it again." —Thomas Reed

Promising review: "These work great! They work so well, I installed them and forgot them. My bureau is pretty deep, and my clothes would all fall on top of each other and become a big mess. Now I'm pretty organized with my T-shirts." —Pathfndr

 The three pressure settings are an energizing blast, a Swedish massage or rainfall.

Promising review: "This is a high-quality product that’s straightforward to install. The water pressure is incredible! It’s like a brand-new shower. You can adjust which showerhead the water comes out of individually or both simultaneously. It’s a game changer for our kids, so they don’t fight over the water anymore!" —Taylor 

Get it from Amazon for $209 (available in four colors and without a second showerhead). 

Promising review: "I have been using these hangers for decades! They never fail....never fall off. These are the only hangers I trust on my decorative plates." —smr61754

It has a built-in sensor to adjust to either hot or cold airflow.

Promising review: "My bedroom sits above the garage and has three exterior walls. It's an older home, so I question the insulation. The room has been unbearable in the extreme winter and in the extreme summer. These vents have been such a huge game-changer now that the temperature is cold. The room used to be unbearable to wake up in or just to go into because it would be so cold. I bought two of these for the room, and it has made a difference in this room. I can get out of bed without dreading how cold it's going to be. I highly recommend these if you have a room that the HVAC system just doesn't seem to do its part in." —Cat

Just replace them every three months to keep the fresh air going strong.

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

It comes with two accent handles and four hinges. You can also buy window decals to zhuzh it up even more.

Promising review: "These are so realistic-looking latches and handles, and they had great magnetic abilities. Does not affect the mechanism to raise and lower the garage door. Made my plain white garage door look like a million bucks. I would have given it 10 stars if I could have! Could not believe the price for the quality of the product. Love them!" —Charlotte K. Gean

Psst — They also work great on wine, mud, cola, coffee, blood, and juice!

Promising review: "A GIFT FROM HEAVEN!! We have three dogs who sometimes have accidents. We’ve tried EVERYTHING — steam cleaning, sprays, you name it. Nothing has worked...UNTIL NOW!! I open the package above the stain and pour the extra solution on the stain before I stomp the pad down. I leave the pad for several hours (not quite 24 hours), and the stains are GONE!! I’ll use nothing else after these!!!" —Miko Furusushi

Promising review: "We have a small couch in our bedroom, and our littlest will sleep there sometimes and has had a few accidents on the couch, so now it has a urine smell. I honestly went over the couch about four times, and each time, the water came back up brown! After the fourth time, though, the urine smell is finally just about gone, with the exception of one small spot (instead of the entire couch cushion)! I quickly went to clean our ivory cushion dining room chairs, and I didn't realize how dirty they even were until cleaning them. More brown water! This is a great buy if you have kids and pets." —Brittany

They also have a glow-in-the-dark version to make finding them easy peasy at night.

Snug Plugs is a small business that specializes in home improvement products. 

Promising review: "Many of my appliances have a loose fit on my outlets, but with these in now, I don’t worry about my appliances being in a shortage because they fit so loosely. Definitely a quick, inexpensive fix to an annoying problem I had. Very satisfied." —Tania B. Delgado

Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $10.99 (available in clear, glow-in-the-dark, and a combo pack; also in a pack of 25).

Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel on the mold and left it sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns

Promising review: "I have been looking for a solution that would allow for a nightstand and also a dresser to be pushed up against a wall even with things plugged into the outlet behind that furniture. I FOUND IT. This wall outlet extender does exactly what it says it will do. I have a fan, clock radio, and watch charger plugged into it and can still move the nightstand right up against the wall. The light on the dresser no longer forces the dresser to be out a couple of inches; it, too, can be pushed right up against the wall, and the cord is not in danger of getting crushed and becoming a fire hazard. A game changer! I will be ordering a few more." —Lynda L.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.79+ (available in two prong or three prong and in a three pack).

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for 4 years to get this stuff off. One day, I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! The faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.69+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

Promising review: "Do you ever remove the rubber cap between your sink and disposal? It is beyond gross! This is shaped just right and makes quick work of a yucky job. Good to do to keep odors away." —Mom328LSA

Promising review: "I have been looking for a basket for the bottom of my stairs to kind of be a 'catch-all' for items that need to go upstairs. I was never able to find one that didn't take up half of the width of the stairs. This was the perfect solution as it is large enough to hold a good amount of things, but compact enough not to get in the way of using the stairs. I love the looks of it as well!" —Tiffani

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in three styles).

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. 

Promising review: "This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards and door, and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That's three bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, living room, hallway, and mud room in under 15 minutes. It used to take me almost half a day and very sore knees and back.  I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can't/don't want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." —Suziehomemaker

Promising review: "I have been looking for a dishwasher done indicator to use on a stainless steel front (no magnets). This is the BOMB. NO moving parts. No flimsy clips. No tape, glue, or magnets. Simply slip it over the edge of the bottom basket, and you are good. The sturdy clip does not flex, so there is no wear and tear. The action of the washer fills up the tube. DONE. The first time you open the door after washing, tip out the tube, and you are ready again. Hooray...something that works." —MRMACHINE of Raleigh

Promising review: "Like you, when I first came across this, I was hesitant because of the price. It's a bit steep, I thought to myself. But then, after another night of bathtime with two towels on the ground to soak up the water my child had splashed all over, I took the plunge and bought it. And definitely worth it a million times over. My child LOVES the extra space for toys and I love the water staying in the tub. I definitely and highly suggest buying it. You won't be disappointed! Or your child!!" —Brianna

Get it from Amazon for $59.95 (available in four colors).

Promising review: "These are the most effective litter mats that I've ever tried. This is the fourth different litter mat that I've tried. Nothing else has been effective with the three litter boxes that are kept on both hardwood and carpet. I got one at first to see if I liked it, and then bought two more. The holes are deep enough that they catch everything, and all you have to do is open it like an envelope to dump it out. I've had no issues with stuff getting stuck in the holes, either. I do use corncob litter, so I can't say anything as to the effectiveness of it with clay litter." —DisaRae

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and five colors). 

Promising review: "This thing is aahhhh-mazing! I’ve had several kinds of cat hair removers — adhesive strips, sticky rollers, rubber nubby gloves. Nothing else works as well and as quickly. Easy to clean out, too. I bought a handheld and a bigger one with a long handle for carpet and area rugs. Love them! They even clean the hair off the stupid red velvet drapes that came with the house when we bought it." —M. Bauer

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "This was easy to put together and store my 40-oz. cups with handles. Turns smoothly and looks nice." —D. Kneller
