1. 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. It's equally good at cleaning filthy pots and pans, kitchen appliances, some jewelry, and other bits and bobs that you're currently considering tossing.
Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" —May
Get it from Amazon for $5.29+ (available in packs of two).
2. A slicker brush if your fave sherpa blanket or rug started out so cozy and plush but now the once-fluffy fabric is clumpy, matted, and not so soft. This genius brush is designed to restore cashmere, faux fur, sheepskin, wool, and more so it feels (and looks!) new again.
Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
3. A fabric defuzzer to remove lint, pilling, loose strands, and fuzz that have magically accumulated on your upholstered headboard/bed frame, blankets, bedding, mattress, and pillows. It has a handy lint catcher as well as three settings so you can choose how close of a shave you want.
The battery-operate style requires 2 AA batteries, which are not included.
Promising review: "OMG!! This fabric shaver is the best thing since sliced bread! I was skeptical at first, but then today, I shaved all of those pesky pills on one of the twin mattresses in our guest bedroom that had pills all over it. It worked so well and was so easy I started taking sheets off of all our beds and starting 'shaving' the 'pills and pulls.' If you have fuzz balls on things that look so horrible you want to throw them away, don't! Get this little fabric shaver and 'shave' away...lol." —MK
Get it from Amazon for $11.97+ (available in six colors and two styles).

4. 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.
Promising review: "Two months ago, we got a 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted. That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made cleanup of everything so much simpler, and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends, and our couch gets that fresh, clean smell in an hour." —Kindle Customer
Get it from Amazon for $99.59.
5. A bag of polyester stuffing that'll breath new life and fluff into your kid's favorite plushie. You can also use it to plump up cushions and pillows.
Promising review: "Great for couch pillows! The pillow insert in the pillow cover was just not fluffy enough. I used this stuff, and it perked right up! Love how it turned out." —Botanical Optimist
Get a 12-ounce bag from Amazon for $9.55 (available in larger sizes).
6. An enamel paint for metal appliances that look well used. Swipe it on scratched or rusted fridges, bathtubs, metal bed frames, and washers/dryers, and you'll swear your appliances look straight from the sales floor.
Some reviewers even use it to redo their countertops or sinks, although you might want to use an acrylic sealer afterward if you decide to do that! It's fantastic for vintage appliances too, according to one reviewer.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness! This stuff is amazing! I remodeled my bathroom and the washer and dryer looked terrible. One coat of this and they look brand new! I’m going to add another coat today just to make it extra durable." —L. Hornberger
Get a quart from Amazon for $26.98.
7. A wood polish and conditioner so you can revive your embarrassingly worn, dinged, and dented cabinets, bed frame, and armoire as 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.
Promising review: "What is this sorcery?! I've been slowly replacing my hand-me-down furniture with mid-century beauties. The pieces I can afford are in good but not perfect shape. There are scratches, dents, scuffs etc. This stuff is MAGIC. It doesn't help the physical dents, obviously, but it virtually erases the color defects so your eyes don't even register the damage. I bought this after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article about must-have household care products, and this really is essential. After I used it on my bedroom suite, I tried it on my door frames, and WOW. My house is old, built in the '60s, and the tired, worn-down wood has come back to life! This is a long-term relationship, and I will always have some on hand." —Lisa McCool
Get it from Amazon for $9.64.
8. Or a pack of furniture touch-up sticks if your dining room table has lots of little scratches you've been strategically covering with placemats and table runners. Well, now, you can fill 'em in without guests even knowing they were there to begin with.
Includes six repair markets, six paper-wrapped wax sticks, and one wax stick sharpener packaged in a blister card.
Promising review: "I. LOVE. THESE. MARKERS!! I bought this because I was using a brown Sharpie on my coffee table, which was getting chips from normal wear and tear. The Sharpie would always rub off over time, and of course, it was not exactly a color match. I bought these on a whim, and WOW— they are amazing! Even the black worked SO much better on my black bedroom furniture than a normal black Sharpie. These are buildable, so you can start with a semi-transparent, lighter mark, and you can build it up darker as you continue to go over it. (NOTE: I have not even tried the crayons yet because the markers are SO good!)" —SR
Get a pack of 13 from Amazon for $9.99.
9. A no-scrub, low-lift toilet tank cleaner to obliterate hard water deposits and ugly stains in your toilet's water tank. Keeping the tank clean means the water in the bowl will be clean.
Promising review: "I moved to a new (well, not exactly new — the building is about 50 years old) NJ apartment three years ago, and I loved it then and still love it today. But there was one serious issue at the time I moved in: my toilet tank. Three years ago, just for curiosity's sake, I lifted the cover, and I nearly fainted after what I peeked inside. It seemed the tank had never been cleaned since it was first installed. I tried to clean it out using vinegar. No use. Scrub it with Comet? Forget it. Straight bleach? Worked a bit, but it was a waste of time. Happily, I came across this product. After two applications, I allowed the tank to marinate (soak) overnight. After I lifted the cover in the morning, what a shock!!! The entire tank looked SO MUCH CLEANER THAN NEVER BEFORE. This is a gift from the toilet gods. Now I have the cleanest toilet tank any in my entire building, for sure :) Very happy and totally satisfied with this cleaner, and I'll purchase it again if needed from Amazon. You won't be disappointed with this amazing yucky tank cleaner." —IZZY
Get it from Amazon for $7.40.
10. Some restorative wipes because winter snow and cold winds have left your outdoor surfaces looking cloudy and grimy. These wipes are saturated with a solution that revives oxidized, faded, and sun-damaged surfaces such as bumpers, siding, mailboxes, grills, garden tools, doors, shutters, and decor.
Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter, I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home
Get five wipes from Amazon for $13.05.
11. A pack of garage door accents that'll give your plain garage door a true glow-up. Your neighbors will think you had it replaced overnight.
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, and the latches and handles have great magnetic abilities. They do 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! I could not believe the price for the quality of the product. Love them!" —Charlotte K. Gean
Get four hinges from Amazon for $10.99 (available in different styles).
12. A cast-iron scrubber, which is just a piece of chainmail for lifting leftover food grit — not the pan's seasoning. This'll save you a heck of a lot of time now that you're not trying to scrub away stubborn stains with a fragile sponge.
Because this scrubber is metal, you should avoid using it on nonstick pans as it can scratch and damage the surface.
Promising review: "I love the product. I wish I had known about it when I first got my cast-iron skillet over a year ago. It is really easy to use and did a great job getting the crud off of the skillet without stripping the seasoning away and it was fast. I find myself using my cast-iron more frequently since purchasing this product because I no longer dread the cleanup process. If you have cast-iron cookware then you need one of these babies. I will definitely recommend it to others." —KeCaRi
Get it from Amazon for $17.99. This customer review is long, but it's full of great tips if you end up purchasing this scrubber.
13. A velvet slipcover so your sofa can get in on the makeover action (without you having to spend some major dough on a new sofa altogether). It also protects your couch from pets, kids, and household accidents, only it looks wayyy cozier than a plastic cover.
It's also machine-washable!
Promising review: "I have never been so excited about a slipcover. Total transformation of our couch and loveseat. I was worried about it not working on our leather couch, but it stays on really well due to the straps and the separate cushion covers. LOVE." —Brian/Liz
Get it from Amazon for $32.49+ (available in 5 sizes and 11 colors).
14. Some cushion supports if your couch is very well-loved, as evidenced by the permanent butt imprint in your fave spot. These will support slouching cushions so you can continue to enjoy your couch for years to come.
It's basically a piece of thick foam that you insert into the bottom of each cushion to plump up all the other layers and a piece of thin foam that goes near the back of the cushion for extra support. So your couch will feel equally comfy but look brand new.
Promising reviews: "These are just perfect for an older sofa that has sagging cushions. Easy to install, easy to cut to size. Makes the seating so much firmer! I would highly recommend them." —kdornan
"I used this in the bottom of my down layered sofa cushions that sagged in the center and they worked great, I wish I had bought them a couple of years ago. I was looking at new sofas because of this, and it's only a 3-year-old sofa and expensive, these fixed the problem, and I highly recommend them." —Jenford
Get them on Amazon for $37.99+ per kit (available in three sizes; each kit fixes one cushion).
15. 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.
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
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
16. And some washing machine cleaning tablets because you keep your washing machine open when it's not in use yet it still smells moldy. What gives? These dissolving tablets clean and freshen the inside while dissolving odor-causing residue.
They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.
Promising review: "I've been using this product for several years now. I have two teens and a husband who's an auto technician. Boy, do they get filthy! After time this grime buildup will make your washer stink bad. I don't do it every month as they say to, as I don't have that type of money, but when it stinks, this product is the bomb! Makes your washer smell really fresh, like brand new. If it still stinks after one tablet, pop another one in, and no more stink!! Yay! I would give this 20 stars if I could. I really love this product so much that I bought the ones for my dishwasher, too!! (they work great, too!)" —berja
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.98.
17. AND! A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets (from the same brand!) that'll clean your machine as it runs. No need to sigh in frustration every time you open your dirty dishwasher to remove your "clean" dishes.
Promising review: "I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scales, and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times, our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china, and everything else looks fabulous. I highly recommend it; it's worth every penny. It's the best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, and you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
18. An itty bitty knife sharpener for anyone who's about ready to toss their current set and shell out some big bucks. Wait! There's a good chance your knives just need to be sharpened!
Promising review: "Saved us a load of money. I saw this product from a BuzzFeed article. I was skeptical about whether this product would work at first, but for the price, it seemed like a bargain. Our kitchen knives were dull, and throwing them away would have cost more than buying the sharpener. Needless to say, it worked out very well, and our knives are well-sharpened - even the knives we thought couldn't be sharpened! Very happy with this product. I bought my mom one, too." —mibkim
My colleague loves this lil' guy, saying it "totally ~transformed~ my hodgepodge of a knife collection, and probably saved my clumsy self from lots of close calls with dull knives." Read her full KitchenIQ knife sharpener review.
Get it from Amazon for $7.65+ (available in four colors and multi-packs).
19. And a handheld tool sharpener so your dull shears can actually cut instead of just smushsing the stems. You might be surprised how well your garden tools work once you sharpen them.
Promising review: "I sharpened my fine gardening snipping shears (I also bought the pruning tool sharpener, which I still have to use), my kitchen shears (the ones that come apart in two), and my sewing shears. It's a great product, and I love that you can buy replacement carbides someday." —Kimberly Wilson
Get it from Amazon for $11.59.
20. A peel-and-stick wallpaper if you hate your kitchen so much that you're this 🤏 close to making some renovations that will most definitely forfeit your security deposit. Wait, wait, wait! Try this low-effort DIY first! What's easier than a sticker?
Promising review: "I am IN LOVE. I bought this to use as a backsplash in my rented studio apartment kitchen, which has potential to be pretty but really needs some help. I ordered two rolls thinking that if I liked it in my kitchen, I’d order more to use on the wall behind my bar cart. I loved it so much when it came in that I decided to go ahead and put it up on the big wall and deal with the kitchen later. The pattern is so easy to line up and it looks so good! My tiny, dark apartment instantly looked bigger and brighter. Even up close I can’t tell where the seams are. It was super easy to put up by myself, though I would recommend having another person to help if possible because it would have taken a lot less time if I’d had someone to hold it steady while I lined up the edges. If I could give six stars I would. It’s expensive but worth every penny!" —Lizzy
Get it from Amazon for $29.75+ (originally $39.99+; available in three colors).
21. Or! A sheet of marble lookalike contact paper to cover up your rental's horrid laminate countertops. It's oil-proof and waterproof, so it can stand up to spills.
Promising review: "I resurfaced my office desk with this paper, and it looks really good. What I like about it is that it's waterproof (I have spilled coffee and water and it wipes up without soaking into the contact paper.) Easy to install and pretty. I just ordered another roll for my linen shelves and will be ordering more for my laundry cabinet shelves." —Amazon Customer
Get a roll from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five sizes).
22. An instant stain remover spray because it'll make your dirt-covered plastic patio furniture look new again. It actually works to remove the deep-set, below-the-surface stains so when you wipe away the cleaner, you're wiping away *all* the mess.
Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).
23. A leather cleaner that'll restore your beige couch to its former creamy white color. This concentrate works on dirt and oil and is safe to use on car seats, upholstery, furniture, handbags, shoes, jackets, saddles, and more.
Promising review: "I have both the cleanser and conditioner of Leather Honey and I. Am. In. Love! Following the directions have gotten 10-year-old stains out of a leather chair, and slowly but surely, the conditioner is bringing the leather back to life. I actually intended to donate both a loveseat and a chair with an ottoman, but not now. I was really skeptical because of the well-known brands I had tried in the past, but this stuff is a miracle worker. It's taking time because it's been such long-ago stains, but my patience is paying off. It was recommended to me by a guy who sells only leather furniture so that's why I took the plunge. It's also not as expensive as some of the ones out in the garage. Wish I could give it 10 stars. I rarely write reviews but this one really deserved a good one." —A. Eley
Get it from Amazon for $18.95.
24. Or a leather recoloring balm for transforming your years-old furniture so it looks less like it spent two years in a college dorm and then three years with roommates (even if it did) and more like it's straight from the factory floor.
Promising review: "My loveseat was looking cracked and faded again after three years. (It’s 13 years old and sits in a room with a big picture window.) The product worked just as well as it did in 2016. I noticed that some buyers have reported issues with color transfer. I followed the directions on the container and never had that problem. It’s important that you wait five minutes and then buff your furniture with a clean, dry cloth. I also used this to restore some leather bar stools that were looking a little faded. Our dog scratched our leather sectional, and this balm took care of the scratch, too. I only used half a container to do a loveseat, four bar stools, and a few scratches on our sectional (pictured above). —Casey B
Get it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in 16 colors).
25. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets so you can reclaim your favorite thermos from the pile of forgotten mugs. These tablets will lift old stains and odors so your cups are finally usable again.
Promising review: "Wow! It feels like magic. I used this in my coffee carafe and was amazed by the result. I was looking to replace my thermal carafe because I was so fed up with being unable to get it clean-looking. It was so stained from daily use that I thought it was a lost cause. I literally used everything: CLR, bleach, Bar Keepers Friend, and nothing worked. When I got this product, I was skeptical that such a small amount would actually clean my carafe. After one tablet for about an hour of sitting, I saw more results than I have seen in my many other methods. It removed just about all the stains. I was shocked. I can see clean metal now, and I wasn’t expecting that. I will also add that this result required no effort on my part. I literally just dropped the tablet in and walked away. That’s it!! I have actually never written an Amazon review before, and I am just so satisfied and pleased with this product that I had to share with the world. Enjoy this product and feel confident with your purchase. You won’t regret it!" —Jennifer Hewins
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $8.
26. A set of drill brush attachments if your tub is so stained that you're contemplating getting a new one. Save yourself some money and let this get to work. Once the brush head is attached to a drill, flip the switch and watch the grime just float down the drain.
FYI: The yellow brush is a medium bristle brush designed for bathroom surfaces. The other colors are better suited for different surfaces based on their stiffness.
Promising review: "Sadly I only have a shower at my house and of course it’s all tile. I have zero clue why anyone would want tile it’s awful. Saying that cleaning it is the worst and it never gets clean and I know for a fact I don’t put enough elbow grease into it. Well that all changed with these bangers! I just put it into a drill, spray some mildew spray on it, and hammer away. It’s 100% better than doing it by hand not 97% or 98% or even 99% better, it’s 100% better. You need these." —Mark
Get a set of four drill brushes from Amazon for $6.95.
27. And on the topic of mechanized cleaning, a specialty dryer vent cleaning kit and brush to flush out all the lint that's trapped in your dryer. That's a major fire hazard, BTW! And once the excess lint has been removed, you may notice that your clothes dry faster = less money spent on energy bills.
Oh, and you could get a pro to do this, but it's a pretty simple DIY — that's more money saved! Just make sure you get enough rods to extend all the way through your dryer vent in one direction (see below for options) to completely clear the buildup. BTW, several reviewers recommend using duct or electrical tape to secure the rods even more!
Promising review: "We bought a 16-year-old house from the original owners, who are fine people but not legendary for their routine maintenance. The dryer that came with the house would take two 40-minute cycles to dry towels. I followed instructions, cleaning about three feet at a time, then pulling out the assembly and adding two more shaft sections, and repeating until the brush got to the roof vent. All told, about half a grocery bag of lint came out of the vent pipe. 20 minutes work, and drying time has been cut in half. Worth every penny and effort." —Hillyb
Get it from Amazon: with 15 feet of reach for $14.99 or with 40 feet of reach for $34.95.
28. A pack of stain-removing pads because you love your rugs as much as your puppy loves peeing on them. Just lay this pad over the spot, give it a stomp to activate its cleaning powders, and watch the stain disappear — no bulky carpet steamer necessary!
Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than five stars." —Matt
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99.
29. Or a no-rinse spot remover that'll lift even the most stubborn old stain. And it doesn't require you to rinse or vacuum after you spray! Paying to recarpet your living room? No, no, no! Try this instead!
Promising review: "If you are ever thinking you might need this, TRUST ME you do! My 2-year-old threw up chocolate milk on our cream carpet. It was a complete disaster. I tried everything and nothing even made a dent in it, until this. It’s also scentless, which was great because I got the stain up right before my little girl’s bedtime. TOP NOTCH!" —Jillian Hastings
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in multi-packs).
30. Plus a bottle of cleaning concentrate you add to your carpet cleaners for handling those extra tough messes on your own instead of shelling out the big bucks for professional carpet steamers.
It's from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stain the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents).
31. A memory foam mattress topper so your hard-as-rocks mattress feels like a bed at a 5-star resort. Instead of feeling lumps and bumps when you turn over, you'll sink into plush memory foam that conforms to your body. And the temperature-regulating gel beads help distribute heat so you don't burn up.
32. Plus, a set of bed bands if you love your sheets but hate how they won't stay on your new pillow top mattress. These straps will keep the sheets securely fastened to your mattress so your sleep isn't disturbed by slipping sheets.
Promising review: "We have a rather deep mattress and added a memory foam topper, which gave our fitted sheet a real stretch to be able to securely tuck at the corners and not slip off. It would hold some of the time, but we frequently had a corner or two slip off during the night. After giving Bed Band a try our fitted sheet slipping problem is solved! The clamp design grips like iron, but the best part is the adjustable bands that allow for a quick final fit after installing the clamps. This makes for a much simpler installation, and with a product that, by its nature, needs to be removed and re-installed repeatedly (sheet washing), ease of installation is critical. Bed Bands is the clear design winner for function and ease of installation. A stellar product design at an affordable price!" —David K
Get a pack of four bands from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors, two lengths, and multi-packs).
33. A Pikk-it tool to remove tangled hair that's lodged in your vacuum head and totally messing with your vac's absorption powers. (And ofc your fingers can't reach the hair!) You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
34. A moldable rubbery glue called Sugru because the entire household — yourself included — could be gentler on their stuff. Thankfully, this heat- and cold-resistant putty exists. It's flexible and can mend things like ripped chargers, broken toys, and leaky parts (it's waterproof, too!).
You can use it to bond glass, ceramic, wood, metal, and most plastics *and* to bond all of those surfaces to most walls. It slowly cures from malleable glue into a tough silicone rubber overnight.
Promising review: "This stuff is the solution to so many challenging repairs that it’s well worth keeping a supply of basic colors on hand in the fridge at all times. Example: After various glues failed to reattach the black rubber trim that holds the rear windshield onto my car, Sugru was the only thing that did. With no garage parking, this repair has survived 75-mile/hr winds, freezing temps, heavy rains, and 100-degree heat for well over three years and counting. And the repair fills the gap so perfectly that only a well-trained observer would ever detect the repair." —No BS Reviews
Get an eight-color pack on Amazon for $19.99 (also available in packs of seven other color combinations, including all black or all white).
35. An oil stain remover that'll spare your furniture from the fate of being left on the curb for the garbage men just because of a pesky oil stain.
It works on marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, grout (for ceramic and porcelain tile), masonry, and concrete — and it won't discolor the surface of the stone even one bit!
Promising review: "Had an oil stain on my untreated West Elm marble top buffet from a kids toy. I purchased the oil stain remover and crossed my fingers that it would work. Followed the directions, waited 72 hrs to let it dry completely, and then scraped it off with a credit card. It worked perfectly! I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this product!" —parkhaven916
Get a can of it on Amazon for $7.99.
36. A copper and brass polish for sinks, pots, pans, mugs, jewelry, doorknobs, and more that aren't shining as much as they once did.
