The votes are in!
The annual Product of the Year Awards were hosted this week in New York City, and the coveted consumer-chosen awards were given out with high anticipation.
Every winner of the 2026 Product of the Year Awards, including major brands such as Tide, Lysol, and Tylenol.
From tired and true classic brands, such as Tide, to new up-and-comers, over 22 brands took home an award. The categories range from personal care to home staples and even pet finds, with each award tailored to a specific consumer need.
We had the privilege not only of attending the star-studded event hosted by former Saturday Night Live cast mates, Rachel Dratch and Alex Moffat, but also of trying out the newly appointed products for ourselves.
The votes are in! We attended the 2026 Product of the Year Awards and explored every buy shoppers swear by -- from bleach to baby gear.
Product of the Year is the world's largest consumer-voted award for product innovation. Founded nearly 40 years ago, the program now operates in more than 40 countries, helping shoppers identify standout products!
Let's dive into our personal top picks of the 41 diverse winners selected in the home and personal care categories, as well as some surprise gems we deem worthy of your dollars this year.
BEST HOME
Reynolds Kitchens Parchment Cooking Bags $4 (was $4.49)
We never knew we needed these oven ready bags until we saw them at the award ceremony!
These best-selling parchment cooking bags make your meal prep a breeze and the biggest appeal is they spare you the unnecessary mess of cooking.
Scrubbing Bubbles Easy Clean Foaming Multipurpose Bleach $4.16 (was $4.71)
It seems Scrubbing Bubbles is continuing its cleaning reign this year with many awards. Specifically, it is this multi-purpose bathroom cleaner that has shoppers reordering.

WoodWick Candles $16.87 (was $19)
Ready to smell like a winner?
WoodWick candles won in the home decor category. Not only do they smell amazing but it is clear consumers agree they look chic on coffee tables, kitchen counters, and beyond.
Tide Original Liquid Detergent $13
Tried and true!
This cult-favorite detergent has continuously come out on top for consumers across the country and this year's awards confirm its greatness once again.
The home category may be unique as well as legacy winners. A few standouts that I myself use are the Original Tide Detergent and the WoodWick candles. For decades, my family has used Tide, and it is no surprise that the laundry essential came out on top yet again as the best laundry product.
WoodWick is a newer brand for me, but after learning the brand won the coveted home decor award, I was intrigued. Their Fireside scent is a specific best-seller, and I must say it smells even better than it looks.
BEST PERSONAL CARE
Tylenol Precise Nighttime Pain Relieving Cream $13
By far our TOP pick this year was this rub on Tylenol formula!
It applies with cooling rollers, has a calming smell, and seriously relieves muscle pain. I have seen significant relief across my back and shoulders -- it is a must buy.
Bikini Zone Flow Razor Kit $10
Every woman knows the feeling of uncomfortable post shave bumps down there.
This top-rated multi-use tool was voted best personal car kit and we couldn't agree more. It combines the brands anti-bump gel with a razor that prevents friction with every shave.
Cortizone-10 Bug Bite Relief Stick Explore
With summer right around the corner shoppers are gearing up for endless pesky bug bites.
This mighty mini stick has come out on top as the best itch relief product to buy. Whether it be bug bites or seasonal, say bye-bye to itch with this find.
TheraBreath Deep Clean Mouthwash $17.64
Mouth germs are out this year and every year -- and it turns out TheraBreath is the big winner in the oral care space.
This mouth wash was voted the number one oral care product on the market in 2026.
The personal care category had me particularly excited, and it is because my favorite winner of the night is in it -- the TYLENOL® PRECISE® Nighttime Pain Relieving Cream.
As someone who is constantly glued to her desk, I find myself with back and neck pain quite often. This roll-on formula has changed the game for me! It soothes my pain with a calming scent and slight numbing that lasts a long time.
I threw out all my other topical pain treatments once trying the Tylenol one because it seriously is that good. I even shared it with my 50-year-old father, who suffers from years of joint pain, and he stole the bottle right out from under me.
HIDDEN GEMS
Chewsday Dental Chews $9.31 (was $13)
Pup parents gather!
Chewsday has been voted by consumers as the BEST dog treat on the market in 2026. So much so that the nifty dental chews are backordered nearly everywhere right now.
Take it from this dog mom, they are well worth the buy.
Clearly Canadian Sparkling Flavored Water (12-pack) $50
When I saw these beverages slide into the number one spot as best healthiest beverage I was shocked!
I know these drinks from a tiny gas station next to my childhood home and they are my little brother's favorite. they have a deliciously faint berry taste. light sparkle, and have no artificial ingredients.
Though the next two items are not personal care nor home products, I felt they deserved a worthy mention! Perhaps my second favorite product of the evening was Chewsday Dental Chews. As a dog mom, I am always on the hunt for pup-parent-approved buys, and this one is so good that it is nearly sold out everywhere.
