A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets, because did you know you need to clean the machine that cleans your clothes? The bad news is your clothes probably haven't been getting as clean as they could be, but the good news is a single tablet from this pack will have your machine behaving like it's brand new.

A carpet cleaner for those inevitable times when someone accidentally drops a bowl of spaghetti or red wine or really anything that you're 100% sure has permanently stained your carpet. Instead, grab a bottle of this magical solution, penetrate the stain with a few sprays, and then dab it with a sponge or cloth until, voilá, it's gone.

A handheld veggie spiralizer if you're trying to incorporate more produce into your diet and want a fun way to do it. With just a few twists, an ordinary carrot, cucumber, zucchini, squash, or potato can be turned into veggie spaghetti and more. Extra points: Veggie spaghetti cooks WAY faster than traditional pastas, so this is a win-win if you're short on time and need dinner, stat.

Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —JT

Promising review: "This is my go-to granite cleaner and I’ve tried a lot! Actually gets counters clean without a film or streak and not a lot of elbow grease." —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $6.49.

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE ice cubes in my drinks, and it's so annoying to have ice cube problems. I really researched ice cube trays and read a lot of reviews until I found these trays. It's so nice not to have to worry about spilling water just trying to get them in there. Also, they come out of the tray so easily! No more fighting to get the cubes out. These just kind of pop out when you press down on one side." —Kalisa

Get it from Amazon for $10.95 (available in two styles).

Promising review: "I put one of these turntables in the corner of every other shelf of my new pantry. I arranged the shelves in such a way that I had easy access to them and that tall items could be placed on them. They are super sturdy and the non-slip rubber surface is such a plus. The lip on the edges is great too! I would expect a turntable of this quality to be much more expensive (but happy they were so reasonably priced)!" —Sherry D. Johnson

Get it from Amazon for $11.85+ (available in 12 colors).

Promising review: "Of course you never want to use something like this but I knew that we needed one in our new condo just in case. I was right! I was toasting taco shells in our large toaster and looked away for a moment. Smoke billowed first and then it caught fire fast. My husband grabbed the device, aimed and sprayed for about five seconds. He stopped and I barked for him to do it again because it caught one more time. There's no way I would have been able to toss a blanket up there and a real extinguisher would have left the biggest mess. This was easy to clean up!" —Mamercs6

Get it from Amazon for $13.84.

Porter Lee's is a family-owned small business based in Portland, Oregon that specializes in homemade reusable goods.

Promising review: "So glad I finally found an environmentally friendly sponge THAT WORKS! I tried all the other kinds of eco-friendly sponges before these - silicon (don't work on stuck stuff), vegetable fiber (got so mildew-y so fast), and even crocheted (felt so gross and didn't work great). These do the job and then after a few days I just throw them in the wash! Hooray! And they're cute!" —willowbe041

Get it from Porter Lee's on Etsy for $9+ (available in packs of one, three, five, and 10 and in four colors).

Promising review: "I've had these bamboo towels for a month now and am incredibly impressed with their performance! They're much larger than a regular paper towel, thicker, softer and more absorbent. I've washed the first ones I've torn off the roll several times now and they DO survive the laundry and perform just as well afterward. I've only used five bamboo towels this month, washed them and re-used. Several times. I would have been through a whole roll of Brawny by now. One caveat...when you wash them, you're supposed to air dry them, so I haven't sent any through the dryer. And I haven't needed to, because allowing them to air dry has not affected the quality of the towels when I 're-roll' them!" —A. Clark

Get a roll from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in packs of two and four).

Promising review: "I'm so embarrassed to show how disgusting my toilets have been, but it's worth it for me to help anyone who has suffered as I have. We built our house and have lived in it 33 years. We dug a well and the water was beautiful, until air hit it. The copper, iron, and lime are all so high the chart doesn't even go that high. We have spent thousands on a huge filter that filters all the water coming into the house from the well. My toilets have been disgusting to me, though clean (as clean as I can get them). This pumice stone — HOLY MOLY — my toilets are clean!!!!! I am totally amazed. It took about 30 minutes on each one. The stains are gone. THEY ARE GONE!!!!!!" —Libby Nance

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a pack of two).

Promising review: "These babies have transformed and reformed my slobby life. My dog sitter thought I got a new sink and fridge. I have never had more fun cleaning in my life — wait, I have never had any fun cleaning. But these magical creatures make it so freaking satisfying. No toxic stuff. No fumes. Just heavenly cleanliness." —Jimmy Jim Ereeno

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.

Promising review: "I personally always hate it when you pull off the lid of something and the lid is leaking water everywhere while being super hot. With my new solid-surface counters, I definitely don't want to set the lid on there and ruin them and putting it on the stove top is either annoying due to the water mess or impossible if you are using the whole stove.

This was made for the fussy new-home person like me. I can now set the lid down down safely and not worry about where all that hot water is going." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

Promising review: "I love veggie noodles because they’re faster to cook than regular noodles, healthier, and super delicious! Before this device, I would buy the pre-spiralized ones at the store for a huge markup, but this device is so quick and easy to use it's no extra trouble to do it myself, plus it's fresher!" —Phob

Get it from Amazon for $12.03.

The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains.

Promising review: "As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand-new." —Christi Lambertson

Get it from Amazon for $14.68.

"I've personally used this for about a year now and WOW, where has this been all my life?! Every little bit of space counts in New York City apartments, and this miracle hamper helped me clear up enough space to fit a new shelving unit in my room. I've been using the adhesive hooks it comes with and they have held up surprisingly well, even when my hamper gets a bit more full than I'd like to admit." —Daniel

Viren Apothecary is a Wisconsin-based woman-owned small business specializing in hand-crafted green products for a clean and fragrant home.

Promising review: "Glad to have found a more sustainable toilet cleaner! My partner was very impressed how it removed the scale left in the toilet bowl without him even scrubbing it yet! Will be buying more!" —sophialam941

Get pack of twelve from Viren Apothecary on Etsy for $9+ (available in two scents, as well as with a glass jar or paper bag).

Promising review: "Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn't just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products, it cleans too and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out and that's good enough for me." —sylvie yah

Get a two pack of four-count bags on Amazon for $9.88 (also available in a three-pack)

Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four, and would frequently have to snake our shower drain. It appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths, and this collects the hair. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors).

Promising review: "You can never go wrong with extra long charging cables! My wife and I use these for charging our phones on our nightstands so we can use the phones in bed without over stretching shorter cables. The braided cables are nice and the red connectors add a little pop of color. We’ve had other brands of cables fall apart at the connector in a short amount of time but these seem pretty solid." —Mr. D

It's compatible with all single-use coffee and espresso machines, like Keurig, Nespresso, Delonghi, Hamilton Beach, Braun, Bunn, Cuisinart, Tassimo, Krups, Saeco and more.

Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my 2-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of two).

Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a non abrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP

TS Designs US is a woman-owned small business based in West Leroy, Michigan making sustainable and reusable cleaning products for the home.

Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don't worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch

Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $4.49+ (available in 10 colors and various pack amounts).

Promising review: "The metal is good quality, no rust even after multiple washes. The cups and spoons have a bit of heft to the hand, but not too much...this isn't an obscenely expensive Williams-Sonoma set, after all. However, they do add a bit more panache than typical cheap K-Mart sets, and certainly made to last longer. If your house is like my house, where guests tend to congregate in the kitchen while dinner is being made, this set not only gives off a good impression, but it performs well also." —J. Tant

Get a set of eight Amazon $11.97 (also available in a nine-piece and 12-piece set).

Promising review: "I use cotton swabs everyday after I shower but I never leave them on my counter tops because most cotton swab holders are not cute like this one! I usually like to keep my counters clear of clutter, but this one serves as decoration, as well as functional. Surprisingly, even the hubby approves. The holder fits around 30 swabs comfortably, but you could probably squeeze some more in for a tight fit. This is supposed to be a lotus flower, but it's green and reminds me of a succulent plant. The holder also comes with a clear lid to keep the swabs clean from splashing water or dust." —Foreverjaded

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors and packs of two).

Promising review: "This hanging closet organizer is perfect and just what I was looking for. It was easy to assemble and is made extremely well. I have everything from towels to sheets, a jacket, down vest, and sweaters stored on the shelves and it isn't sagging at all. The side pockets are very useful and provides extra storage for smaller miscellaneous items." —RihannonJ

Get it from Amazon for $13.87 (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "I added before and after photos of my filthy oven so you all would know this stuff is the real deal and worth it. I like that it didn't have a strong odor and it didn't use much effort at all to clean my oven. You can really see it removing the burnt-on grease after a few circular motions." —DNICEANDFAM

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis

Get the pack of three tablets from Amazon for $6.95 (also available in packs of five and six).

Promising review: "I was so desperate for more space, I was considering spending big bucks to have a professional come in and redesign the space. Then I found these and it's like my hanging space quadrupled! It feels downright luxurious in my closet now. I can see all my clothes and nothing is squished together like it used to be. I can also comfortably add a substantial amount of clothing and would still have room to grow. BUY THESE IMMEDIATELY!" —milanina77

Get a eight-pack from Amazon for $10.79+ (available in two colors and packs of 10, 16, and 20).

Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." —Amber Erwin

Get it from Amazon for $11.29.

Promising review: "It's a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it's like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan

Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and also available in various packs).

Promising review: "I'm in love with these toothbrushes. I know it's a little silly to feel so strongly about a toothbrush, but as they are 100% sustainable AND they clean my teeth better than ANY TOOTHBRUSH I'VE EVER USED, I'm pretty excited about this find! And the bristles are SO SOFT. Wonderful." —J. Lee
