Just Owning These 46 Useful Products Will Feel Like Checking Chores Off Your To-Do List
1. A TBH *too* nice Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop created to both vacuum and mop at the same time. Unlike our old dummy mops, this robot has a separate tank that stores the dirty water, and it retains 90% of the stuff. Using *just* this tool your floors will be vacuumed clean, mopped, and dried in one fell swoop! Thanks to this speedy action, you can finally deep clean the floors (on all three floors) of your house.
It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!
Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi

2. A pumice cleaning stone for saving your toilet bowl from a bleak existence. Over 18,000 reviewers have given this a 5-star rating for getting rid of their harsh hard water stains from rust, lime, and calcium — sans harsh chemicals.
Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray

My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement!

I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smelled out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was weary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks and my dishes come out crystal clear after." — Courtney E. Delong

Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car.

Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro

I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!'

Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin

Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! Even though we use a squeegee after every shower, we still had streaks of hard water stains. It looked hazy. This is a pasty application on a microcloth. It worked with minimal effort. I even use the battery-operated scrubber to make it easier. My shower doors look like new again. It even worked on my showerhead and faucet handle. After cleaning the shower, I tried it on my stovetop, which had scorch marks around the burners. It worked perfectly with a bit of elbow grease. I could never get them off. I give it an A+. No harsh smell, and one bottle will last me a long time." — T. Buckman

Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin

19. A fume-free oven cleaner with a spray, wait, and wipe away system — a quick shot of this stuff can eat up those baked-in stains you've been actively avoiding since your pumpkin pie boiled over on Thanksgiving.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that worked....the first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens

Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May

Promising review:"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." — Danielle Healy, BuzzFeed

www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next, and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie; this stuff needs some elbow grease, but it definitely works. It took off what seemed like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it, but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" — Tyrene A. Gapol

Promising review:"Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" — J

Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well-made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX

This Ice Cream Scoop 'Glides Like Butter' Through Pints
In my eyes, ice cream is the ultimate dessert. In hot weather, it's rich and refreshing, waking up the senses while cooling you down. In the cold, ice cream still feels cozy: I love bundling up in warm clothes or a blanket at home to enjoy the chilly treat. The one thing about ice cream that just irks me, though? Having to wrestle the concoction from a frozen-solid pint, a task which my spoons and scoops are simply unable to execute. My spoons emerge bent out of shape like twisty straws, upset and worse for the wear. Even dedicated scoopers don't fare much better, descending a few centimeters into the ice cream before stopping, as if they'd encountered a brick wall. Sure, you can try microwaving your pint, but heating your ice cream up kind of defeats the point, and melts much of it into liquid. Having festered for years, my annoyance reached a fever pitch, and I turned to the Internet for help. Mercifully, I found a solution in the cult-favorite Spring chef ice cream scoop, which reviewers are so impressed by that they've awarded it a whopping 38,000 5-star ratings. One reviewer sums it up succinctly: This scoop 'is definitely the one you want' (and, according to another, it 'ends the quest for the perfect ice cream scoop'). The scooper may look like your typical kitchen tool, but it'd be a mistake to write it off as such. Thoughtful adjustments make this one 'simply the best ice cream scoop' reviewers have ever owned — and, they add, likely the last one they'll ever have to buy. The scooper's first meaningful tweak is the slight weight of its scoop head, paired with extra-thin edges that enable the tool to slide through frozen pints without resistance. This combination of features is so effective that reviewers can't stop coming up with metaphors to describe it. It 'cuts through anything like butter,' writes one; another describes the effect as 'cut[ting] [through] ice cream like a warm knife.' The head also has built-in indentations that help release the ice cream once it's been scooped, so you won't have to use your hands to messily dislodge the scoop. This addition is a 'game changer,' according to one reviewer. 'The indentations prevent the ice cream from sticking,' they write. 'Once scooped, the ice cream easily falls off!' The heft of the scooper, along with its ergonomically-designed handle, help the tool require 'minimal wrist effort,' another reviewer adds, a relief for folks prone to pain or discomfort. The tool even has a built-in notch in its handle to assist with opening tough, clamped-on pint lids. No more bent spoons, useless scoopers or microwaving ice cream to eat it: This is 'the real deal,' reviewers say (and its perfectly spherical scoops are just plain satisfying). It's not just for ice cream, either: You can use it to scoop fruit (picture round watermelon spheres), to remove seeds from melons or to add filling to dishes like stuffed peppers or baked goods. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 17 colors and in two-packs).

Popular cereal brand pulls fan favorite flavors from shelves — and fans are not happy about it: ‘I'm so sad'
If you noticed that some of your favorite Cheerios flavors have suddenly disappeared from shelves in the grocery store — you're not imagining things. The beloved General Mills cereal brand has decided to stop manufacturing three popular flavors: Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios and Honey Nut Cheerios Minis, according to an Instagram post by @the_cerealqueen. Advertisement While the Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios are OG flavors — first introduced in 2013 and 2017, the Honey Nut Cheerios Minis only came to fruition two years ago. The Post reached out to the brand for comment. As of now, it's unclear why these flavors have been pulled, especially since they each seem to have a following. Considering cereal is a breakfast staple in US households — 12% of Americans eat it daily, 18% enjoy a bowl three or four times a week and 23% indulge once or twice a week, according to CivicScience polling — many fans of the breakfast food are disappointed over this sad Cheerios news. Advertisement Some shared their thoughts in the r/cereal forum on Reddit: As of now, it's unclear why these flavors have been pulled, especially since they each seem to have a following. Bloomberg via Getty Images 'I don't think I've actually seen Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch for over a year. But losing Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios is a bigger shock—I didn't buy it as often as I should have,' one user wrote. 'Why tf would they cancel chocolate peanut butter?!' another disappointed customer grumpily asked. Advertisement 'RIP Medley Crunch,' another comment read. Others took to the @the_cerealqueen Instagram post to share how bummed they are. 'Whattttttt I loved the minis!!!!' read a comment. Advertisement 'awww wait these flavors look awesome im sad they won't be around!!' shared someone else. 'I'm so sad chocolate peanut butter cheerios were my favorite. 😟 it's always sold out or low stock at the stores I buy it from. I can't imagine it's due to low sales. I wonder if they are considering making it into the protein variety. Regular Cinnamon cheerios did, so maybe this will too,' another person questioned. The silver lining here is that despite these flavors sounding and probably tasting delicious, they most likely weren't the healthiest options. It turns out that these days, many breakfast cereals have more fat, sugar and sodium — and less nutritional value, according to a new study. The amount of sugar in many cereals rose by nearly 11% — and reportedly one bowl of the breakfast food exceeds 45% of the American Heart Association's daily recommended limit for children.
