Cleaning and organizing isn’t exactly at the top of most people’s to-do list. (Understandably.) It’s daunting and time-consuming, but when it’s all done, the payoff is worth it. A home with a place for everything and everything in its place is an easy way to cut down on stress, and if you’re smart about upkeep, you won’t have to go through the process again and again. But in order to achieve that feat, you’ll probably need to employ a few genius things that help eliminate clutter.
For example, this four-tier shoe rack can tidy up that small mountain of shoes on your closet floor (or the pile of shoes that greet you at your front entryway every day). Plus, stacking your shoes on this rack — instead of on top of each other — makes it easier to keep your sneakers and boots in good condition.
You can also zero in on kitchen clutter, thanks to products that organize spices, cooking utensils, and pots and pans. And of course — I've rounded up solutions for your bathroom and home office, too. Long story short — if you're dealing with clutter in your home, there’s probably a product on this list that'll help you clear it right up. Take a look below.

02A rack for organizing your pans
This pan rack is a great clutter solution, holding up to five pans and making it easier to grab the big one on bottom, since you don't have to lift up each one. The shelves are height-adjustable, but the rack can also be used horizontally. It's available in two finishes: bronze and chrome.
03These shoe slots that double your storage space
These shoe slots will transform your closet and give you twice the amount of shoe storage space. The double-decker slots let you store each pair on top of itself without the risk of damage, and they're height-adjustable, so you can use them for shoes of different heights. And since the slots feature textured surfaces, they'll securely grip the soles of your shoes.
04A pantry organizer that hangs over the door
If you’re running low on pantry space and need more room for storing spices and condiments, these pantry organizers will do the trick. They hang right over the pantry door and feature 15 clear pockets each that are easy to wipe clean. They're a hit with Amazon reviewers, too, “We are just renting right now, and our kitchen and master bathroom are both tiny with very minimal storage space. These helped declutter a lot.” Each set comes with two organizers.
