    1. If you've ever looked at the built-up ice in your freezer and thought "yeah, I'm not dealing with that", these genius non-stick liners are here to help.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    They'll make cleaning out your freezer easy – rather than waiting for your drawers to defrost before hacking away at the shelves, you'll be able to just whip the compartments out and rinse the sheets instead.

    Price: £3.49 for two.

    2. This rubber broom might (and no, I'm not being dramatic here) actually change your life. It works as a squeegee, a brush, a pet hair remover, and loads more!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    The naturally water-resistant bristles won't absorb dirt, dust, or smells like sweeping brush strands or mop head fibres can – just rinse the head after use and it'll be as good as new again.

    Price: £6.00.

    3. Keep your sink or draining board stain and scratch-free with this clever mat.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    It's got a non-slip base, and the gaps in its pebble design let water run off from your dishes and cutlery while they're in the sink (so you can keep your draining board sparkling). Wipe this mat with a damp cloth whenever it gets grubby!

    Price: £7.99.

    4. Keep your countertops clean with this clip-on bag holder.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    Pop this holder over the door of your cupboard for a simple and speedy installation. Once it's attached, you can add or remove plastic bags whenever you need to – it folds flat for sleek and unobtrusive storage when it's not in use!

    Price: £7.29.

    5. This specially-designed cloth will get rid of those annoying water stains and mug rings in just a couple of swipes.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    It's completely reusable, and it'll get rid of permanent marker stains just as easily as it removes water stains and mug rings!

    Price: £4.99.

    6. These drop-in-and-you're-done drain sticks are honestly a lazy/clean person's dream.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    They're packed full of enzymes that break down the gunk and grease in your drains as they dissolve. All you'll have to do is put 'em in and leave them to work their magic!

    Price: £5.00 for 12.

    7. Anyone who's ever had to clean out their fridge will understand why I had to include these clever shelf-protecting liners.

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    They've got raised bumps on their surfaces to help elevate the food on top of them, ensuring veg and other foods don't sweat and cause leaks. You can remove these liners when they're in need of a wash and either run them under the tap or chuck them in the dishwasher!

    Price: £3.00 for four.

    8. Cleaning the grease from my ancient extractor fan seemed like an insurmountable task, but this highly-rated degreaser spray made the job really easy.

    Amy Glover / BuzzFeed

    This stuff's called "Elbow Grease" for a reason – the product inside is powerful enough to remove oil from plastics and metals without any scrubbing on your behalf. Spray the formula onto the affected surface, let it sit for a couple of minutes, wipe it away, and you're done!

    Price: £1.00.

    9. This powerful unblocker will dissolve any grease and hair it encounters in your drains, because honestly? I am not about to fish around in there.

    Price: £4.00.

    10. You know that awkward space between your oven and countertops that gets filled with dust, stains, and crumbs? These silicone strips are designed to cover it quickly and effectively, so you'll never have to wonder how to clean The Gap again!

    Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

    You can trim these strips to fit the width of your countertops, and because they're heat-resistant up to 230°C, you won't have to worry about them getting burned either. The material is waterproof and stain-resistant – you can wipe these down when those inevitable spills happen!

    Price: £7.99 for two.
