How to keep your home much cleaner with almost no effort

cleaning the house isn’t much fun, and I’d argue that there are some people who are just not good at it. Example: me. And when I’m inordinately busy or otherwise distracted, I tend to overlook glaring messes because I’m up in my own head too much. I’ve discovered though, that you can keep your house clean with minimal effort by staying organized and putting some preventative measures into place.
On this list, there are so many terrific organizational solutions, like this over-the-cabinet storage basket for toiletries in the bathroom and these stackable bins that corral items in your pantry. Then, once you have your stuff organized, all you have to do is add some products that stop messes before they start, and you’ll find you’re in good shape. Case in point: These oven liners catch drips and spills so you don’t have to scrub them off, and this drain protector prevents clogs to keep your tub gunk-free.

Armed with these helpful products, you can reduce the nightmare of cleaning your house to just another average-sized chore. You’ll be glad you added them to your cart.

These bags protect your belongings and feature clear tops so you can easily see what’s inside. They have side handles for easy retrieval.
