OxiClean

Few as-seen-on-TV products are better known than OxiClean, a versatile cleaner made famous by the late, great television spokesman Billy Mays. But OxiClean actually lives up to the hype — according to Consumer Reports, OxiClean MaxForce even does a better job at stain removal than any traditional liquid detergent, getting rid of a wide variety of stains such as grease, dirt, and wine.

Scrub Daddy

Doing dishes rarely brings a smile to your face, but that’s not the case with Scrub Daddy, first featured on the television show Shark Tank. Don’t let the playful grin fool you — Scrub Daddy is tougher on dirt than a regular kitchen sponge. It’s designed to be soft in warm water and firm in cold water, while the smile is used to clean both sides of dirty utensils at the same time.

Socket Shelf

Turn your wall outlets into additional storage space with Socket Shelf, a clever product that adds a helpful little tray above where it is plugged. Use it to park your toothbrush, your cell phone, or your glasses to keep them in sight but out of the way. You don’t need any tools for installation — just plug it in to say goodbye to messy wires and cluttered countertops.

Hover Cover

Heating up a bowl of pasta can make your microwave look like an art gallery, but you can prevent food splatter using the Hover Cover, a plastic cover that’s both microwave and dishwasher-safe. The built-in steam vents allow heat to escape while keeping sauces and soups in your bowl. For easy storage, use the magnets on the top of the Hover Cover to attach it to the roof of the microwave.

Drop Stop

We’ve all lost small items to the perilous spot between the driver seat and center console in your car. But there’s one way to prevent your phone and keys from falling into that graveyard full of french fries and loose change: the Drop Stop. This malleable stopper fits over your seat belt buckle and seals the gap, allowing you to keep your eyes on the road and your phone within reach.

Shoe Slotz

If you’re running low on room for shoe storage, Shoe Slotz can double your storage capacity in the blink of an eye. Rather than store your shoes side-by-side, Shoe Slotz organizes each pair into a single stack for easy access and convenient storage.

Fasta Pasta

A watched pot may never boil, but the Fasta Pasta can solve that problem by completely removing your stove from the equation. Place your pasta in the plastic tray, measure out the water, and let it cook in the microwave for 12 to 13 minutes. Remove the Fasta Pasta and drain the water using the built-in vents for a quick and delicious meal.

Flex Seal

Leaky roof? Use Flex Seal. Drafty windows? Use Flex Seal. Runny nose? Okay, maybe not Flex Seal, but you get the idea. Flex Seal is a versatile rubber spray-on sealant that fills cracks and openings. It can be used on wood, glass, metal, and any other surface around the house where you’re worried about water creeping in and causing damage. Flex Seal comes in a spray can, as a liquid, or as a waterproof tape, making it easy to apply no matter the circumstances.

TubShroom

Don’t look at your shower drain — the buildup of gunk and hair is enough to strike fear into the heart of anyone. You can prevent future clogs and plumbing emergencies with TubShroom. This small metal object fits into any open drain and catches loose hairs before they get any further into your pipes. After each shower, simply remove and rinse the TubShroom.

‘Ove’ Glove

Avoid potential burns using the ‘Ove’ Glove, a kitchen safeguard that withstands temperatures up to 540 degrees Fahrenheit. The ‘Ove’ Glove is perfect for taking trays out of the oven, changing hot lightbulbs, or moving cast iron pans from the stove if they’re too hot to touch.
