"I've been struggling to sleep for a while, with noisy neighbors and roommates always making loud sounds the second I'm finally asleep.This sound machine is slim, stylish, and the sounds are perfect! You can't even hear them looping, which is always the hardest part of relaxing with a sound machine on. The timer is very convenient for when you just want the machine to help you fall asleep but not run all night. My favorite is the Night setting, which is the sound of crickets. Super soothing." — FruitonBottom

5. A label maker , because sometimes it really is best to mark your territory so nobody gets confused about YOUR Super Stuffed Pop-Tarts . Use it for food, toiletries, or labeling boxes of essentials you've stuffed in the shared coat closet. Whatever floats your organizing boat. 

www.amazon.com , www.amazon.com

Promising review:" My roommate's girlfriend just moved in and had the same glassware and food storage containers as I do, so I wanted to label them so our sets didn't get mixed up.I needed an inexpensive label maker that was small and easy to use, and I needed the labels to hold up to washing, microwaving, refrigeration, and freezer storage. These labels stay on super well. They have not faded or scrubbed off when cleaned, and they haven't warped at all in the fridge or microwave.They stick to the item but are very easy to remove if you need to reposition it or remove the label. I haven't had to charge the maker or buy more tape since I got it a month ago, and it connects to the app extremely quickly and easily for printing labels. I'm more satisfied than I thought I would be with a label maker, haha, and I will continue to use it!" Alyssa Laine

All the food came off very easily, and it looked brand-new afterward! Amazing, wish I could give it 10 stars." — DvdPlayfair

' When we moved into our dorm apartment this new school year, the microwave was disgusting!Luckily I had ordered Angry Mama.

Clean together, and it's a party! 🎉

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "My main use for this product is cleaning my bathtub. Although I only take showers, I have a roommate who also uses the same shower and tub, and over time, it gets pretty dirty.In any case, I tried a lot of different methods of cleaning but found that the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers worked best and were easiest, even though it took a couple of them to do the job because they break down pretty quickly. I saw these pads online and thought even if I have to go through a couple more, they would still be less expensive. But to my amazement, it actually worked better. It broke through the dirt a little easier, and it only took me one sponge to do the whole job.Not only that, but it did not break down as the national brand did; it was still in one piece, a very grimy and much smaller piece, but nonetheless, one piece. So 20 for this price is a truly great price for a truly great product." — Michael

" My daughter bought these to use in her college dorm.They were delivered quickly and worked well!" — Shopper mom

Get it from Amazon for $29.97+ (available in three tiers and three colors).

29. A spin mop and bucket  — look, mopping is nobody's  favorite, but the more people in a space, the more you *do* need to get that grime up and gone. I can personally attest that this makes mopping 99% less terrible. My least fave part was wringing out the mop head because even with the "easy wring" ones, I STILL HAD TO TOUCH THE GROSS ICK WATER. No more with this thing. It's easily the best cleaning money I spent this year. You and your roomie can thank me later.

Promising reviews: " I live in a dorm and share a bathroom with a girl who sheds like crazy! Her hair is everywhere, so needless to say it clogs the drain in a weeks time! This little thing, however, has helped so much!! It does cause a bit of water to build up while you're showering, but I would rather have a little water buildup than a clogged drain!" — sweetpea77

" My drain started to clog due to the amount of hair my roommate and I were producing this has absolutely helped alleviate that problem!My drain is completely open and flat with no tab, so I first I was concerned if it would work at all because the picture showed it connected to the tab. But, due to the top being weighted it does not move at all! Even with high water pressure or some standing water, it still stays in the place and catches all of the hair! Absolutely worth the money!
