If you don't check out the product reviews before buying something, you're probably pretty new to online shopping. You should always read the reviews. If you're ever on the fence about something, they'll tell you what's up so that you don't waste your money. Or, in my case, I like to take decorating ideas from the photos that reviewers upload. And let me tell you, what some of these reviewers did is seriously impressive.
How impressive are we talking? Well, for starters there's a lady who was able to completely redo her cabinets for less than $50. That's right — she basically redid her whole kitchen for less than the price of dinner out with friends. But that's not all I've found; there are also cool furniture upgrades, ways to remove tough stains, and even sprays that get your stainless appliances spotless. But why take my word for it? Keep scrolling to check out all these seriously impressive products — and a bunch of their before-and-after photos — for yourself!

This Contact Paper That Holds Up Against Water
Amazon / Natalie Evans
If I've said it once, then — well, I've said it once. But I'll say it again anyway: this roll of contact paper is an absolute game-changer when it comes to updating your home. It's made from tough vinyl that holds up against water, to the point where I've accidentally left puddles on it overnight without any issues come morning. Use it on counters, on tabletops, or even as an accent wall!
The Makeup Organizer That Holds A Lot Of Stuff

"They had no idea that we could save so much space in our cabinets. They loved them."
This Rack That Can Handle Dishes, Pans, Lids, And More
Amazon / Ann Lovell Riner
This rack can handle anything, as long as it's a dish, lid, pot, or some other sort of cookware. It can't do your taxes, obviously — nor can it clean your home or change diapers. But it is really sturdy, and there's enough space for up to eight plates. Personally? I've got it in one of my cabinets, and it's totally revamped how my dishes look when stored.
A Shelf Liner You Can Use For SO Much More
Amazon / CamIAm
You can use this adhesive shelf liner to keep glassware from falling, or even use it to update old furniture as you see above. It's available in five different colors to suit any kitchen, and the surface easily wipes clean with a damp cloth if it ever gets dirty. Speaking of which, I've also got these in my cabinets — they're great for hiding drips and water stains.
This Spray That Gets Rid Of Gross Pet Stains
Amazon / L
We've all been there: your pet pees in the corner once. Then twice. And then — oh no, now it's a habit. Go ahead and freak out for a minute, then buy this professional-strength odor eliminator. It's perfect for gross pet stains, while the color-safe formula is safe to use around animals and kids. And as you can see above, it works better than the stuff you'll find in stores.
A Shelf Liner Without The Adhesive Backing
Amazon / Kate
Available in 20 different patterns — including a gorgeous Fleur de Lis in gray — this shelf liner is a non-adhesive alternative to the one I showed you before. Why skip the adhesive? If you're renting, you might want to be able to take it off — and it also gives you the ability to change things up when the mood strikes.
This White Marble Subway Tile Backsplash That Sticks To The Wall
Amazon / meagan
I mean, just look at it — do I really have to say anything about this peel-and-stick backsplash? it's gorgeous, easy to install, and resistant to humidity. The adhesive backing won't peel away over time, and the white marble is so incredibly on-trend it's making me want to rip out my backsplash and throw this one up instead. That's a bad idea though, right? ....right?
This Over-The-Sink Dish Rack That Saves A Ton Of Space
Amazon / Art
Look at how much space the reviewer above was able to save, all by simply using this over-the-sink dish rack.

This Soft Light That Won't Blind You When You Get Up At Night

This Angry Mama That Gets Your Microwave Clean
Amazon / Kristin Arriaga
Pour a mixture of vinegar and water inside of this angry mama, then pop her into the microwave for about five minutes.

And let's be real — you and I both know that our microwaves are way dirtier than the one above.
These Blackout Curtains That Really Work
Amazon / Dianne
If you've ever wondered whether blackout curtains really work, the proof is in the pudding — or in this case, directly above.

This Wood Polish With Undeniable Results
Via Amazon / K
I mean, do I really need to write anything? The results from this polish shown in the photo above are absolutely stunning — and they're probably due to the blend of carnauba and beeswax that forms a protective coating on wood.

And it's so easy to use — just select the crayon or marker that matches your wood tone, then use it to fill in any scuffs or scratches.
A Duster That Extends Really, Really Far

Able to extend out to a whopping 100 inches, this duster is a must-have for dirty fan blades — especially if it's been a few months since you've turned your fan on. The duster fibers are made from microfiber that attracts dirt, and you can even bend it to fit overtop awkward spots.

You only need one coat of this chalk paint — that's it. It's so thick that multiple coats are completely unnecessary, and it even dries within about 30 minutes. Reviewers found it great for a variety of projects, though the most impressive one was the woman who completely redid her kitchen cabinets. Way cheaper than buying new ones, no?
The Paint Pen That Refreshes Dirty Grout

These Loops That Keep Extension Cables Looking Tidy
Via Amazon / Randy R.
If your extension cables are sitting in a jumbled pile somewhere in the garage, consider tidying things up with these loops. The high-density weave can support up to 50 pounds — and reviewers loved how well they work. "Solved my problem of how to store coiled rope, garden hoses, and extension cords," wrote one. "They are also being used to secure items like lawn chairs, multiple boat cushions, canoe wheels, compound bow case, etc., to the hooks on the wall in the garage."
A Towel Rack That Can Also Hold Wine
