10 Amazon Choice Products That’ll Help You Fix Things Instead of Tossing Them in the Trash

When something broke in our great-grandparents’ house, they took it to be fixed. They didn’t immediately decide to throw it away. After only a few decades, the landscape has changed significantly.

Today, we quickly decide to throw something away because it’s easy for us to find a new product that’s basically the same. However, this behavior affects not only our budget but also the environment. That’s why we found a few recommended products from Amazon that you can use to repair your old stuff.

1. HG mold remover spray with a bleaching effect will make dirty black stains disappear while preventing regrowth. A quick and easy solution to your mold problem.

4.6 stars out of 5

This spray works quickly and efficiently. Spray directly on mold or mildew in wet areas, with a targeted spray action to reduce spatter. It will remove mold and mildew from plastered walls, tile, bathroom seals, windows, and furniture, around the pool and in the garage, shed, laundry room, sauna, conservatory, and more.

Promising review: It really does work to remove mold. We had a few spots on the silicone round shower tray, and it helped get rid of that. The only thing, as you may expect with this kind of product, is its unpleasant odor. It does have a chlorine-type smell, so I would advise using it sparsely and going over the site again once dry rather than “blast” a whole lot at once. @A Scot On The Loose

2. Make any wooden surface look like new with this multi-purpose wood filler. It is easy to mix and apply, leaving a sandable surface that can be stained, painted, or varnished as required.

This wood filler is non-flammable and has a weak smell. You can use it indoors and outdoors, as it is waterproof. It is available in light, medium, pine, white, light oak, dark oak, mahogany, and teak colors.

Sometimes, just seeing a good idea somewhere is enough to help us take our interior design to the next level. Browse through this article, and maybe you’ll find something interesting.

Promising review: Easy to apply, dries very quickly, and the paint adhered to it with no issues. @Amazon Customer

Promising review: This was so easy to use. I just followed the video and was able to patch up my wall before I moved out of my apartment. It worked so well that the damaged wall was barely noticeable, and I got my deposit back.
It is an amazing product. I will definitely order it again!! @Adaugo

  • Use a brush or roller, depending on the size of the affected area.
  • Wait 3–4 hours until it feels dry to the touch.

Promising review: We had a leaky shower. It was leaking somewhere in the bottom row of tiles. I masked out an area of the tiles. Also, went a half inch onto the shower tray to form a waterproof barrier.
It was an experiment, but it worked like a charm. The leak is fixed. 5 stars. @dave javu

Promising review: Absolutely amazing! I struggled previously to clean the kitchen linoleum floor and thought I needed to replace it because it looked awful. I tried many cleaning items, didn’t help.
