Hundreds of IKEA fans have shared what their favourite products from the Swedish homewares store are online, after one woman asked for other homeowners' 'best buy' recommendations.
While some said they admire 'everything' IKEA sells, others were more specific and mentioned their favourite budget hidden gems sold across the stores.
The most popular recommendations included the dish-washing brush with a suction cup at the end, which costs just $1.49, as well as IKEA's storage buckets and containers.

Multiple customers also praised the Pressa Hanging Dryer which is ideal for drying socks, underwear and children's clothes inside when it's raining (pictured)
'Dishwashing brush with suction cup on the end [is the best]!' one woman posted.
'I get the black one as my sink is black, so it blends in. It also stands up on its end when not in use, so dries out nicely.'
Others described it as the 'perfect' dishwashing brush.
Multiple customers also praised the Pressa Hanging Dryer, which costs just $4.99 and is ideal for drying socks, underwear and children's clothes inside when it's raining.
'The octopus to hang all your undies and socks,' one woman said of the drying device.
Another added: 'I have [four] of these - perfect for me to hang undies and socks and kiddies clothes. Hang on clothes line, under the veranda, off a tree and over the ducted heater vent in the bathroom.'

Many customers were also unaware that IKEA sold reusable silicone food covers, which come in a set of three for only $5.
The multicolour covers are designed to replace single-use plastic wrap used to cover cut fruit and unfinished food.
On Facebook, one user demonstrated how to use the product by wrapping chopped vegetables and fruit.
'Love these!! Use them for everything and bought some for gifts,' one woman said.

One customer shared a photo demonstrating how he used the $19.99 IKEA Bekvam Step Stool to create a decorative plant corner.
'Got this little stepladder last week, love it!' she said.
While the step stool wasn't used for its intended purpose, it has transformed the woman's corner into a bright, green area in her home.
The step stool can also be used as a small desk for children and is available in black for $24.99.

The quirkiest product recommendation was perhaps the Duktig doll's bed with a bedlinen set - which some customers have used as a bed for their pet cats.
The $24.99 toy product is made from solid pine and the blanket is made from 100 per cent cotton.
'Cat loves his bed!' one woman wrote, another added: 'I feel like every cat owner should have one of these.'
All products are sold from IKEA stores nationally and can also be bought online.
