If Your Kitchen And Pantry Are A Wreck, These 27 Cleaning And Organizing Products Will Transform Both Spaces

Kitchen and cupboard chaos, you have met your match.

1. A set of stackable shelves that'll essentially double your space, whether you use them on the countertop or in the pantry.

2. A stain remover gel since it clears out all the gunk and grossness from tile, sinks, grout, and more with absolutely zero scrubbing on your part. Seriously! Just squeeze it on and then give it six to eight hours to work its magic and restore your kitchen to its former sparkling glory.

3. A slim four-tier storage cart if you're low on shelf space in the kitchen — just roll this into that tiny crevice between the cabinet and fridge, and voilà! you've just created a new mini pantry!

4. An expandable pot and pan rack with 10 adjustable storage slots. That might not sound like a big deal, but let me explain why it's a game changer: this will keep all your dishes and lids neatly organized *AND* will make it super easy to just grab the one you need without having to lift the entire (super heavy) stack to do so. You can even split the rack in half for two smaller racks of five!

5. A bamboo utensil organizer so you no longer experience a jolt of anxiety when you open the cutlery drawer to see a jumbled heap of knives, forks, and spoons. Put everything (neatly) in its place and revel at the beauty!

6. A bottle of Goo Gone — a liquid kitchen degreaser that effortlessly removes even the most stubborn and caked-on greasy buildup from stoves, cabinets, ovens, and anything else that needs it.

7. A countertop gap cover to stop the crumbs and spills from getting in the exact one spot you can't clean them: the crevice between the stove and the counter!

8. A 14-piece set of airtight containers since they're great for storing dry goods, cereal, leftovers, fresh produce, and more (in both your kitchen cupboards and your pantry). Just be sure to use the chalkboard labels to mark the contents so you avoid baking catastrophes, like accidentally mixing up baking soda and baking powder. Have I done that? Maybe. 😅

9. A pair of over-the-cabinet storage shelves to help you maximize allllll the available space in your (unfortunately kinda small) kitchen. These are great for cutting boards, tin foil, cleaning supplies, and more.

10. A set of wire storage baskets featuring an extra handy flat tray top that's great for keeping spices and other smaller items on hand but can also be used to stack the baskets together. You can use them directly on the countertop or mount them to the back of your pantry door, cabinet, or wall.

11. An expandable spice rack to help you get those spices in order... or whatever else is currently shoved haphazardly in your pantry or cabinet. Best of all, you'll actually be able to find the one you need without digging around now!

12. Or, a pull-out spice rack organizer that's equally as effective for storing and accessing spices and condiments, only it works a bit differently. Both are great options — it just depends on the shape and size of your space.

13. A wall-mounted mop and broom holder so you can get those tools off the pantry floor and out of the way! Reviewers seem to really like how easily the brooms and mops slide in and out of the holder — it's more of a rotating lever than a push-in/out design.

14. A three-tier corner shelf because it'll fit perfectly in that one corner you've been struggling to make good use of. With this, you can use that space to store dishes or linens, organize spices, stack recipe books, or whatever else you can think of!

15. A double-sided magnetic knife strip so you can store all your kitchen blades directly on any magnetic surface, such as the side of your fridge. Yes, this frees up counter space, but it also looks so ~profesh.~ Top Chef vibes, for sure.

16. An Oxo microfiber dusting wand since it's the perfect size and shape for getting at all those practically impossible-to-reach spots, like under the fridge and stove or the corner of the pantry.

17. An under-the-sink pull-out drawer to help you organize the cleaning supplies... because just throwing everything under there haphazardly doesn't really count (and I'm totally guilty of that myself 😅).

18. An over-the-door hanging rack if you want to add a bit more storage space inside your pantry. The shelves are adjustable, so you can rearrange items to make sure everything fits *just right.* No wonder one reviewer calls it a storage lifesaver!

19. An organizing rack that'll neatly house your many boxes of tin foil, plastic wrap, wax paper, and bags.

20. A magnetic spice rack for anyone who only has one available spot left in the kitchen for storing small spice jars and condiments: the side of the fridge. You're in luck because that's exactly what this is for.

21. Or, a magnetic two-tier spice rack with an added paper towel holder at the bottom for even more space-saving multitasking efficiency.

22. A cooktop cleaning kit that will keep your ceramic stove top looking brand new to the point where your friends might even question if you ever actually cook at home.

23. A plastic bag organizer to help you contain all those grocery store bags... yes, I'm talking about the ones that are currently crumpled in a giant wad under the sink. Instead, place the bags in this handy wall-mounted container to keep 'em neatly collected — and then simply pull one out from the top when you need one.

24. A can dispensing rack because you shouldn't have to fear an avalanche of cascading cans whenever you need a cooking staple from the pantry. This makes everything easier to grab but also lets you store more cans!

Promising review: "I got this can storage thing because my pantry was a disorganized wreck. (Too-much-stuff-and-not-enough-space syndrome.) It was messy and disorganized, and I couldn't find anything! But this simple, little, inexpensive shelf-y thing has been a HUGE upgrade. Such a major help, in fact, that once I had the first one up and discovered just how many cans (way more than I realized!) I could tuck into such a little bit of space — and how visible and organized they became — I immediately got another one! Easy to put together, and now literally ALL my canned goods (from dog food to the umpteen weird-shaped cans of tuna, sardines, and salmon) fit tidily — and more importantly, FIND-ably — on just two efficient, space-saving racks. I swear I wouldn't have believed it was even possible before I saw it for myself. And now I just love these things. Honestly, if my pantry shelves were just a couple of inches taller, I'd have gotten four since they stack, too! Genius!" —Callidryas

25. A box of garbage disposal cleaner packets that couldn't be easier to use. You simply plop one in the drain, and it'll foam away the gunk, grime, and funky odors. Truly as easy as that!

26. A set of coffee mug organizers if you love your huge collection of cozy mugs but are having a hard time storing them all. This adjustable stacking device will make it easy for you to save space and fit all your mugs neatly in the cabinet or pantry (so yes, you can totally keep them all).

27. A food bag organizer that'll help eliminate some extra clutter while also looking super aesthetic. Plus, it'll make meal prep even easier as you'll know exactly which size bag to grab. (It comes with labels!)
