I recently took a look around my house and realized that I was putting up with some hassles. The closets were hard to navigate because they were disorganized. Finding something in the fridge was a Herculean task that often led straight to getting takeout.

So I got to work. It turned out I needed helpful organization tools and — in some cases — just tools. The Amazon reviews became my guidebook; I studied them and I learned things. One thing I learned is why Amazon keeps selling out of these cheap home improvement products with near-perfect reviews. It’s because they work.

01

The stove gap cover that prevents uncleanable spills

Slip this gap cover in that little space between your counter and slide-in range and you will never have to struggle with pulling the stove out to clean up a nasty spill. It’s easy to install — just cut it to the right depth and press it in — and completely covers that gap with an easy-to-clean silicone that blends right into the look of your kitchen. Choose white, clear, or black.

02

An indoor door mat to keep your interior cleaner

Set this absorbent, soft, nonslip indoor door mat inside your entryway to catch all the dirt and water that comes in on people’s shoes, and keep the interior of your home cleaner with no additional effort. It’s easy to clean, has a low profile so the door will open, and comes in lots of colors and sizes.

03

The smarter way to store brooms, mops & long-handled tools

32Save space and prevent frustration by mounting this mop and broom holder to a wall, inside of a closet door, or pantry.

There are also seven hooks for dusters, gloves, and other smaller tools.

04

A big utensil holder that looks great on the counter

This roomy stainless steel kitchen utensil holder will organize all your most-used cooking tools while keeping them right at hand so you don’t burn the stir fry while looking in a cluttered drawer for a spatula.

05

This liner for under the sink that protects cabinets from leaks

Put this quick-dry, waterproof, under-sink mat liner on the bottom of the cabinets under your sink and the wood won’t get damaged if your cleaning products spill or the plumbing springs a leak. The nonslip mat is lined in a non-permeable rubber and the top is made from a highly absorbent, quick-dry felt. It comes in lots of great patterns and colors, too, so your cabinets will look snazzy.

06

These curtains that block out light & sound

When you pull these blackout curtains closed, they stop light and sound from getting into your room, which makes them great for a bedroom or home office.

They come in so many sizes and colors that you can design exactly the look you want.

07

These handy puck lights for under shelves & cabinets

These three LED lights will transform your dark shelves and counter areas with easy-to-install and adjustable lighting. Just stick them to the underside of a shelf, the bottom of your cabinets, or wherever else you need spot lighting and tap them to turn them on and off.

08

This slim trash can perfect for tight bathroom spaces

The slim design of this push-to-open trash can makes it the perfect shape and size (just 5 inches wide) to fit in any room that may not have the most amount of space.

Each shelf can hold up to 30 pounds and is kept in place by heavy-duty adhesive strips — no screws or suction cups required.

19

A rug pad gripper to keep all your beautiful carpets in place

These rug pad grippers are a great solution when you realize that the carpet you just bought is more for style than function. Rugs that flip up at the corners or easily slide around create opportunities to trip and hurt yourself. To avoid the danger and keep everything in order, this pack comes with four grippers for you to place on each corner. The pad creates a vacuum of suction points that grip onto your floor but can easily be peeled off your decor without damaging it.

20

21

22

The magnetic screen door that keeps bugs out

Hang this curtain-style magnetic screen door in the doorway that leads to your deck or yard and it will let everyone come and go, hands-free, without letting bugs into the house. The row of magnets sewn into the center seams opens easily to let you — or the pets or kids — through, but closes behind you after you go through it. The fine mesh keeps bugs outside.

23

A grill cleaning kit with no wire hazards

This grill cleaner set gets your grill clean without the danger posed by wire brushes, which can fall out and get into your food.
