5 simple tools to streamline your home

Keeping your home or apartment in order isn’t always easy, but it doesn’t have to be a crazy uphill climb. In fact, there are certain products out there that make household living just a little bit easier, and even a bit of help can take a lot of weight off our shoulders. From providing more illumination right where we need it, to keeping our air cleaner, to literally keeping our feet sturdily on the ground, these are the kinds of (affordable) mini-miracle products you only realize you need once you have them—and once you have them, you won’t want to live without them.

There are plenty of reasons life would be easier if your cabinets were illuminated. The Under-Cabinet Light Strip in “warm white” is for the small spaces in your world that need a bit more illumination. Whether you need a splash of light on the kitchen counter, a busy cabinet, or a bookshelf, the battery-powered LED strip illuminates any small niche space, easy to install and maintain.

Breathing easy is kind of a big deal. And these Air Vent Filters add an extra layer of protection between you and dust. They’re also easy to install, and because they’re hand cut, you can fit them over most household vents and filters, enabling you to trap more dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander, or other airborne irritants for fresher, cleaner air.
Buying Anti-Slip Tape from the “Tape King” brand makes a lot of sense. But this product is also very well-reviewed, its 80-grit aluminum oxide surface providing better traction for the tricky stairwells and slippery surfaces in our life. Adheres to wood, stainless steel, plastic, tile, and concrete and undergoes rigorous quality assurance protocol, meaning you and yours can step easier.
The GearLight High-Powered LED Flashlight is medium-build, compact and portable but strong enough to cast an “ultra-wide” LED beam (on just three AA batteries). Water-resistant (use it in the rain or snow), it can survive a 10-foot drop and even a brief submersion underwater. Bonus: you can zoom the beam in to focus on something, or zoom out for a wide-sweep assessment.
If you’re tired of listening for a knock on the door, the 2-in-1 Night Light Wireless Doorbell gives all the benefits of having a doorbell, including programmable ringtone, without making a commitment to installation, which makes it ideal for renters. Useful for the hard-of-hearing, with portable receivers that “ring” when the doorbell is pressed, with a range of up to 450 feet. Doubles as a night-light.

We’re all spending a lot more time at home these days. In fact, we’re probably all discovering the same things issues we never noticed: slippery stairs, crowded cabinets, or an A/C system that’s straining to function properly. Whether it’s a sturdy flashlight, textured grip tape, air filter replacements, or just a hint of extra illumination, products like these are small investments that can make a big difference in your home (or office, or both).

Being in construction for years or as a startup can be challenging and lucrative. Having the right heavy equipment can make a big difference in how fast and effective you are.
