Our Editors' 33 Very Favorite Products of 2024

"These colorful scrubber cloths work well and safely on a variety of surfaces," says Carolyn Forté, Executive Director of the Cleaning Lab. Their flexible design lets you reach corners and tight spaces for a more thorough cleaning. Forté uses the scrubs for her kitchen, plus cleaning grill grates and more and found that they rinse off easily and last a long time.

Not only does this fabric spray have a lovely scent, but it also helps freshen up your bedding. "After spraying, simply smooth the fabric with your hands and wrinkles disappear," says Forté. The scent has notes of sandalwood, lavender and jasmine.

Forté also likes this all-purpose cleaner that "cuts grease and cleans well and doesn't leave a residue that requires extra wiping, even on glass." Plus, it's crafted from tea tree, lavender and lemon for an amazing scent.

Home & Apparel Product Analyst Amanda Constantine was hesitant at first that this trap would help catch pesky insects, but she was quickly proved wrong. "The amount of gnats, flies and mosquitos this thing traps is disgustingly impressive," she reports.

Apartment dwellers — or anyone who doesn't have a washer and dryer in their home — will appreciate this portable laundry cart. "I love being able to put my laundry in and easily wheel it to my washer and dryer," says Textiles Lab Product Analyst Grace Wu. Given the higher price tag, its multi-functional design is a pull. "I could see myself using these for groceries or moving," Wu adds.

Constantine has two cats at home and loves this littler box system. "You scoop your cat's litterbox into the litter genie, pull a tab, and the litter falls into a bag in the bottom of a bin that's sealed off," she explains. It helps keep stinky odors at bay and has a small footprint ideal for apartments or small spaces.

Lil Mixins makes allergy introduction a breeze, says Nutrition Lab Director Stefani Sassos, who has used this 100% organic mix with her first and second child. The individual packets contain a fine powder of peanut, egg, cashew, walnut, almond, soy and sesame.

Sassos found the mixture easy to mix into baby food. "I had so many questions about ways to safely introduce allergens as a new parent, and this was one of the best products to help me manage that," she says.

Guardian claims this 20-inch bike can help teach kids how to learn to ride a bike in one day. Lexie Sachs, Executive Director of Strategy & Operations, was pleasantly surprised her daughter was able to learn how to ride her Guardian bike in just one hour — with the help of an instructor.

"After trying out several bike brands, I can tell that she has more control and balance on this one," Sachs says.

Kitchen Lab Analyst Eva Bleyer is a fan of pottery company East Fork and says their Everyday Bowl is her favorite piece of theirs that she owns. She has used this dishwasher- and microwave-safe bowl to hold soup, pasta, salads, grain bowls and more.

Bleyer is also an avid sourdough baker and found this little award-winning device as a total game changer for preparing starter. The Goldie comes with a cooling puck and a transparent glass cloche so bakers can regularly check on their starter.

"It helps keep my starter at the perfect temperature and ensures that it's nice and active for my bakes," Bleyer shares.

Yeti is a top-tested brand and well-loved brand at Good Housekeeping. Nicole Papantoniou, Kitchen Lab Director, vets this large carryall tote. It's well-structured and fits comfortably over your shoulder.

"I like that it stands up straight, which makes it perfect to put in the back of your car as well when you need to keep something upright," Papantoniou explains.

This one's a splurge purchase, but it makes roasting foods easy. "I’ve tested a lot of pizza ovens, including indoor ones, and the Arc stands out for its size, design and ease of use," says Papantoniou. She also likes that the brand sells a stand, which you can add on for $250.

Food composters are not new to the kitchen space, but the Mill Food Recycler is worth highlighting. Bleyer has been testing it for over a year now and is impressed by its performance. The price tag is high, but the investment is worth it if you want a food recycler that "breaks down your food waste and looks sleek while doing it," explains Bleyer.

If you don't want to splurge on an electric flosser or need something easier to pack for travel, these floss picks from Plackers fit the bill. Senior Chemist Danusia Wnek says that they"really help get in between teeth to get the gunk out."

"Nothing compares to this lip moisturizer from Malin + Goetz," says Constantine who has tried her fair share of lip balms. She adds that "this sinks in and soothes them instantly" while leaving "a beautiful, glossy look." The applicator easy to use, and a little goes a long way.

If you have dry and or mature skin, this lightweight yet moisturizing SPF is the daily sunscreen for you. The Daily UV Defense has become a staple in Wizemann's skincare routine. "It layers well over moisturizer and under makeup, and I love how it smells," she says. We also love that it's under $20.
