Now that summer is in full swing, getting your home more organized is likely at the top of your to-do list. Thankfully, Amazon Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to shop for all of your household essentials.

From June 23–26, Amazon will offer great deals across a slew of home product categories. But there’s one area where the retailer shines during the big sales event: organizing solutions. That’s why I tapped several professional organizers to share the discounted items they’ll be adding to their online shopping carts—and what they always recommend to clients.

"If you’ve been putting off getting organized, there’s no better time than Amazon Prime Day—it's like an organizer's Black Friday," says professional organizer Shaniece Jones. "It’s the best time to restock on products or finally grab what you’ve been eyeing."

Whether you’re upgrading your pantry, whipping your closet into shape, or tackling clutter in the entryway, there’s an expert-approved organizing find on the list for you. The discounts don’t last long, though, so if something catches your eye, grab it while it’s in stock.

If a getaway is on the calendar, Jones says these compression packing cubes are "travel’s best kept secret." They feature mesh fronts that allow airflow, and you can choose from more than 10 colors.

"They compress your clothes down to a fraction of their size and keep everything categorized so you’re not unpacking your entire bag to find one thing," she says.

Your shoes don't have to keep piling up by the front door anymore. Just place these two organizers under your bed to keep 12 pairs in order. "They're particularly good for storing out-of-season shoes or styles for special occasions," says Diane Lowy of New York at Home. Each one features an adjustable divider and a transparent top so you can easily see what's inside.

Every closet needs some quality shoe trees to keep your go-to pairs intact, according to Jones. The organizer likes this particular design with "left" and "right" engraved, so you know exactly where to place each shoe.

"Cedar shoe trees are a closet staple that most people overlook until their favorite pair starts to warp or lose its shape," she says. "Beyond keeping your shoes fresh, the natural cedar actively absorbs moisture and odor, which also means your shoes will last longer."

When it comes to versatile cleaning tools, organizer Maeve Richmond encourages clients to snag this air duster. She confirms that it works for everything from cleaning car mats and blowing dust bunnies out of computer keyboards to tackling grime on bathroom countertops.

"It’s compact, so I keep it charged and at the ready at all times to carry around the house with no trouble, or to quickly grab in a pinch," says Richmond, the founder of Maeve's Method.

"There is nothing worse than having to dig through your entire bag mid-flight searching for a charger," says Jones of this travel organizer with mesh pockets. "This case is slim enough to fit in your personal under-seat item, but structured enough to hold all the cords, plugs, earbuds, and adapters you need quick access to, with everything visible and in one place the moment you open it."

She likes having one at home, too. "Keep it on your nightstand or desk pre-loaded with your most-used cables, so you always have a go-to charging hub that travels with you and lives with you," she says.

This plug-in night light is another item on Lowy's Prime Day shopping list. "These lights automatically come on in low light levels, and they also have a side dimmer to adjust intensity," she says. "They are great for living rooms and hallways, adding a gentle bit of light washing over the wall without lifting a finger."

"A glass rice dispenser is only for the clients who want their pantry to take on a real edge," says Nichole Gehman of Organize by Designe. Complete with a bamboo lid and a chic wooden stand, the dispenser works for storing more than just rice. "I have even seen people use this to hold their laundry soap or fabric softener beads," she adds. It also comes in two sizes to suit your needs: 5 liters and 7.5 liters.

Tired of sheets constantly shifting inside your linen closet? Lowy raves about these nifty elastic bands, available in sizes from twin to king. "These bands keep sheet sets together with the lowest effort and least amount of space," she says.

Gehman calls these acrylic food storage containers, featuring bamboo lids and bases, "unique showstoppers." She adds that they look "beautiful in the space and fit in a rectangular pantry. With this look, you will want to leave that pantry door open when guests come over!"

You can grab a pair in both small or large sizes. Just be sure to hand-wash them to prevent any damage.

"If you're only buying one organizing product this Prime Day, make it wooden hangers," says Rachel Rosenthal of Rachel and Company.

Grab them in packs of 12, 24, or 36 to prevent garments from slipping and creasing. "They're durable, versatile, and one of the fastest ways to make a closet feel more organized without changing anything else," she adds.

Finding the perfect choice for game nights will be much easier with these organizers, available in packs of two or six. Rosenthal uses them for board games, puzzles, and any other bulky items packaged in large boxes.

"They're one of those products that people don't realize they need until they use them," she says. "You save space, reduce visual clutter, and make everything much easier to find and put away."

Chances are, you have multiple reusable water bottles in your stash with very little space to store them all. Cherie Jackson of The Curated Dwelling calls this organizing pick, with space for nine bottles, a must-have. "I love how it makes everything easy to see and grab—especially in busy households," Jackson says.

Organizer Cori McDougald encourages clients to maximize vertical space in closets as much as possible, and these stackable shoe organizers are a great example. "Whether it's sneakers, heels, or everyday shoes, they keep pairs neatly together and instantly double your shelf capacity," says McDougald, founder of Meat and Potatoes Organizing. "The clear front makes it easy to see what you've got." They're adjustable, too!

Whether she's organizing drawers full of spices, bathroom essentials, or t-shirts, wood drawer dividers are a top choice for organizer Holly Blakey.

"I always reach for wood over plastic; they just stay put much better, especially once you've got real-life stuff (and real-life chaos) sliding around in there," says Blakey, founder of Breathing Room Organization + Styling.

Durable—and stackable—pantry bins are a must-have for Kenika Williams, who relies on this clear design. "They're strong enough to hold heavy jars without cracking, and the stackable, front-opening design with built-in handles makes accessing items, especially in deep shelves, super easy," says Williams, the founder of Tidied by K. "I've used them in kitchens, fridges, bathroom cabinets, and linen closets."

Rather than custom drawer inserts, Jones likes to organize her sunglasses with this chic velvet tray. "No more hunting through mismatched cases or dealing with scratched lenses. It's the perfect drawer upgrade without investing in a custom insert," says Jones.

Need a smart device to keep your family's schedules on track? Gehman calls the Skylight Digital Calendar "seriously magical," and it's 22% off right now.

"You can literally snap a photo of the kids' school schedules or sports events and it auto-loads those dates right into the calendar," Gehman says. "This calendar is the ultimate easy button, and if there’s one area of life we need that button, it's definitely scheduling."

Need a simple way to maximize counter space in your bathroom or kitchen? Chas Greener of Chas' Crazy Creations swears by stackable drawers. "Ideal for utensils, toiletries, or office supplies, they keep things tidy and easily accessible," Greener says.

Don't let plastic bags take over your drawers. Melanie Summers of I Speak Organized likes to keep them neat with this bamboo organizer. "It features four compartments compatible with gallon, quart, sandwich, and snack-size bags, eliminating the need for original packaging and freeing up space," says Summers.

A lightweight portable vacuum is another must-have for Jones. While she regularly uses one to clean her car, it comes in handy for other tasks, too: "It's also perfect to clean crumbs in drawers and seats, and even the messes your makeup may cause," she says.
