Because your life is hard enough without spending 15 minutes trying to get squashed banana out of their collar.

I am a contributor who has been writing for BuzzFeed Shopping for over two years with an emphasis on home goods, parenting items and toys, beauty products, and anything that can make your day-to-day life run a little smoother.

Promising review: "Was a bit skeptical given how cheap these were priced, but they’re a great value for a great price! The suction cups on the bottom work well and stick to the table with ease. They’re made of a thick material, but they’re not heavy at all. The sections are spacious enough for most snacks and fruits. They are easy to use and easy to clean. Have not microwaved anything on them, so I’m not sure if they’re microwave safe." —Tiffanie Corvera

Puracy is a family-owned small business dedicated to creating natural and organic formulas that are not only effective but also safe for kids and pets. Aside from food stains, this spray also does a number on all other miscellaneous spots in your life, like wine, coffee, makeup, and period blood!

Promising review: "As a mom to two toddler boys, I couldn’t live without this stuff. My youngest just threw up strawberries on my husband's sold-out, cream-colored baseball cap, and this got it out in 15 minutes like new. I hate laundry, and this makes it so much more bearable and saves my kiddos' clothes more times than I can count — worth the cost for how much I save in not replacing stained clothing." —dennis Vrijsen

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (the spray is available in two sizes; there's also a pen format!)

Promising review: "Finally got this for my 8-month-old after doing a whole clean-up routine after every meal. Wish I had gotten it a lot sooner! Great for parents, as it saves a lot of clean-up time and catches a significant amount of food. All you have to do is dump it out and wash it out, and it's brand new again! Definitely recommend having this at home, in your diaper bag, and anywhere you go! Has a couple of notches in the back to adjust for sizing so you can use this during each stage." —Lexie Leeman

Promising review: "Great product and cute too! Highly recommend this baby bib. Great quality and easy to put on. Just the perfect thickness and covers up nicely to avoid messy stains. It absorbs water well. The size fits great on our 12-month-old. The Velcro on the back so easy to use. Also, not heavy on the neck. It’s comfortable and likes putting on the pretty bib." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in two sizes and 23 styles).

Promising review: "BEST BIBS! Don’t waste your money on any other mealtime bibs. I’ve tried just about every other bib on the market. All the others either get stained, are difficult to clean, or are not truly 'leak proof'. THESE bibs check all the boxes! Covers the whole body (I personally put it around baby’s lap and not the tray), SUPER easy to wipe clean, absolutely waterproof, and the neckline is adjustable for the perfect fit! I found that other bibs use Velcro on the neck, which makes them too loose. This bib has three buttons to pick your neck circumference. This bib is the first one that actually saved her outfit! She spits her water, spills pasta, drops crumbs, and NONE of it ends up on her! 10/10. It feels like it’s made out of a thick rubber material, so I bought gender neutral colors to save these to use for my future kiddos!" —Katelyn Estrella

Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (available in five prints and a 2-pack).

Promising reviews: "I saw this on TikTok and knew I needed it. I have a teething toddler who is messy, and this saved cleanup time at restaurants. Plus, no more getting hurt when he leans into the table!" —Karsen

"A lifesaver. Saves a ton on cleanup time." —Zak

Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

Promising review: "I have 2.5-year-old twins who make a mess with everything, as well as a 6-month-old who gets formula milk and food around the top of her clothes. This has been a lifesaver. I buy it as a gift for every baby shower I go to. I threw out so many clothes of my twins that I couldn’t get the stains out of. One of my twins got blackberries all over my white down comforter. Spraying this was so easy; it broke down the bright purple/red stain super fast and didn’t cause any damage." —Brandi Martinez

Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in various multipacks).

I LOVE Deux par Deux. It's quality kids' gear but without the price gouging that sometimes comes with boutique-style excellence. My kiddo has some of their tees and a lunch bag, and the quality is undeniable. I'm keeping them in mind for the holidays gifting season, too 👀

Get it from Deux par Deux for $35 (available in one size that fits most toddlers and eight designs). 

Promising review: "Love this little tub! I use it to clean parts for baby bottles, pumps, pacifiers, and all the other baby accouterments that require frequent washing, and thankfully, it fits a great deal of stuff. It's easy to collapse and store somewhere out of the way, which is also important when dealing with a new baby and counter space limitations. Has held up very well to regular daily punishment for several weeks!" —Lindsay 

Get it from Amazon for $21.70+ (available in two sizes and nine colors).

Promising review: "10/10 recommend. ALWAYS leaves my son’s clothes smelling fresh! He’s never had a skin reaction from this detergent, great value for the money, and you don’t have to use a lot to get the job done." —Alissa

Get it from Amazon for $14.24+ (available in three sizes and multipacks).

Promising review: "Perfect brush for scrubbing stains. The handle fits well in the hand with a comfortable brushing angle. Natural bristles are stiff but not enough to damage your fabric." —JSM

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three styles and multipacks).

Promising review: "This is a must-have! Easy to put on, take off, and clean!" —MRSJ

Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "This Pink Miracle is just that! A miracle worker! My kids leave their sneakers filthy, and I have to wash them often; for that, this product is fantastic! However, I just found something else they work fabulously on, ballet slippers. Yup. My daughter is about to switch from full slippers to half soles, but needed to get the recital out of her current slippers. I honestly did not want to spend $30 for just one performance, but her slippers were filthy. I decided to try the Pink Miracle on them and risk if they got damaged. Well, I added pink miracle to the brush with water and began to scrub the soles carefully, and voila! Perfectly clean soles and tops! I cleaned the leather tops with a cloth. Saved me $30! Love this stuff, a little goes a long way." —Soleil

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "This bib is even cuter in person than in the pictures! The pattern/color is gorgeous and looks so stylish on my little one. More importantly, the quality is fantastic. The fabric is super soft and gentle against my baby's sensitive skin, and the absorbent layer does a great job keeping his clothes dry throughout the day. It's also held up really well after several washes—no fading and no pilling at all. Highly recommend this to any parent looking for a perfect combo of style and function!" —johnny
