Not just clean — 'Monica' clean.
1. A watermark remover, because who in the world would want a bunch of rings on their gorgeous wooden furniture?! Certainly not Ms. Geller. This restorer rids surfaces of those annoying ringlets left from hot and cold beverages. (You can only remind your family to use coasters so many times!)
Amazon
Promising review:"Someone recommended this product to remove white water stains from a table. I was skeptical, but thought what have I got to lose as we had a large watermark staring at us from our dining room table... I followed the instructions and was completely blown away when the ugly watermark was completely removed! This product worked great and I'd happily recommend it." — Nick W.

2. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area, this cleaner will give you professional-level results Pheobe would gawk at, and Monica would cheer about. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all.
www.amazon.com
This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!
Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stain on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreatment before shampooing, and most often, the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say 'gone'…I mean, GONE! And that's with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I'd buy it again is such an understatement. I can't be without it!!" — Angela Raab
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes and five scents).
3. A pack of duster sponges that'll rid the dust bunny that's been sitting behind the door since Ross's first wedding (don't worry, we listen and we don't judge). Picking up dust will be much quicker with this at home!
www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer gives them a big thumbs up:"I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!"
Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color combinations and in packs of two, four, and eight).
4. AND a lightweight SUPER long extendable duster so that you don't have to put your back into cleaning...at least not too much. It stretches over eight feet to clean your chandeliers, ceiling fans, and the dark 'n' spooky Upsidedown that is underneath your couch.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This feather duster does a great job without a lot of effort. It easily cleans up dust with no need to use a scrubbing effort — a light touch works just fine." — bigdaddy
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
5. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the most horrifying stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. I would say it provides pro-level results, but we *all* know Monica has higher standards than that. The fact that this spray is powerful enough to remove red wine and spaghetti sauce from an all-white rug clearly means that these are Monica-level results!
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so I can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and various multipacks).
6. A Pikk-it tool to clear out any tangled hair that may have gotten caught in your vacuum while making your home to be spick and span. If you don't remove the hair, it'll eventually mess with your vac's functionality and suction powers — and we cannot have that! Cleaning your cleaning tools is also just a *very* Monica thing to do.
You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush.
Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
7. A tub of the bestselling Pink Stuff that'll tackle those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. All you need to do is scrub and rinse to get things sparklin' again! It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls, so you'll no longer need 10 different cleaning solutions for every kind of problem. The Pink Stuff handles it all, and it doesn't get easier or more Monica-approved than a one-for-all kind of product!
Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.
8. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you — no expensive professionals needed. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while!
www.amazon.com
These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes.
Promising review:" I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty looking...But I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle, and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." — Christine Doan
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.95.
9. A microfiber spin mop and bucket because it's top-rated with over 134,000 5-star reviews on Amazon! This baby spins to rinse the mop with one step (literally), no hands necessary. Reviewers call this mop game-changing, life-changing, and all-around ~essential~ for household cleaning. And yes, that includes bathrooms!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I never thought a mop could change my life! This mop cuts at least half an hour off my cleaning time, and since I can wring it out so well, it does a fabulous job on my hardwood floors without worrying about puddles of water, which could do damage! The triangular design is great for corners, too! I also like how I can toss the head in the washing machine to clean it. I would highly recommend this mop!" — kheiser67
Get it from Amazon for $34.99.
10. Or washable microfiber mop pads you can use with your Swiffer WetJet (or anything similar) if you don't need another mop, but are tired of spending tons of money on disposable mop pads.
This pad can fit any 10' to 12' microfiber mop, can last up to 100 washes, and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone. Turbo Mops is a small business!
Promising review:" Oh. My. Word. These are life-changing. I used a Rubbermaid spray mop for years that I never really loved, and when it broke, I got a Swiffer and was using the old Rubbermaid mop cloth pads with it still. They didn't fit the Swiffer great, and I decided to get new ones. These scrub so much better and pick up way more dirt than my other mop pad. I have two dogs and their dried water and drool is around the kitchen, and I used to have to scrub to get that up each time. Not with these pads! I never thought I'd swoon over a cleaning product but...here we are :)." — JB
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99 (available in multi-packs).
11. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces — an absolute must for Apartment 20. To get incredible results like the reviewer's door below, all you have to do is wet and swipe. Reviewers call these under-$15 sponges "magic" for a reason.
All you gotta do is wet and swipe!
Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" — Keisha Marie
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95.
12. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner that provides results so good, you'll be left with a jaw drop like Kevin McCallister himself. This bestselling portable carpet and upholstery cleaning machine is *super* convenient and very easy to use! It works for dirt, pet stains, and baby stains, and because it's compact, you can use it to clean your car, too.
Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. I have a cat and dog with an almost white couch, so this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." — Amazon Customer
"This little guy has been working pretty well for me so far. Raising my puppy from 8 weeks, I've had my share of things to try and get out of the carpet, from pee stains to puke to things he would knock over, to the mud he would track in. This would get most of it out if I used it right away. I am happy with the way it takes out most stains." — Cece
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $9.99!
13. A stainless steel polishing spray because, to quote Monica Geller herself, "If I am harsh with you, it is only because you're doing it wrong," — and if you aren't already using this to clean your stainless-steel appliances, you've been cleaning 'em ALL wrong. This spray will have your fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and even your grill sparkling and looking as good as new. It even comes with a microfiber cloth!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"In my experience, cleaning products usually need to be pretty strong chemicals that require care when applying. When faced with options, I usually buy the chemical with the most skull and crossbones, warning labels, and danger symbols I can find. I figure the more volatile and poisonous the chemical, the better it will work! So I was skeptical about this product when it was billed as a plant-based chemical on the other end of the toxicity spectrum. I decided to try it because of the many positive reviews. I'm glad I did. It works great! I wouldn't use it as a mouthwash, but it certainly isn't as harsh as other cleaners I've used." — Joe
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes).
14. A microfiber window blind cleaner so there'll be no more dust flying your way every time you open and close the blinds to get a peek at Ugly Naked Guy across the way. With three blades that clean two blinds at once, it makes things SO much easier and faster.
This set includes five microfiber duster sleeves you can wash and reuse as well as a tiered plastic base.
Promising review: "OK, I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option, but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." — Amazon Shopper
Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two handle colors).
15. A Dyson V15 stick vacuum because it truly does it all. It can detach from the body to help you hit all those nooks and crannies, and...it's cordless! This gem features two advanced cleaning heads (one of which has ~detangling~ technology for all the hair that may get caught), as well as a built-in laser to help you detect every speck of dust.
Promising reviews:"Best vacuum ever. I have had this vacuum for two weeks, and I have to say it has far exceeded my expectations of what a handheld vacuum can clean. My old Dyson stick vacuum lasted 18 years, so I understood you get what you pay for in a vacuum. The new vacuum is so much better than the one it replaced because it picks up so much more pet fur. One review I read said the lady replaced her large push-around vacuum with this stick vacuum because the stick vacuum was all she now needed. I did not believe her, but I can now say she is 100% correct. The LED light on the hardwood floor attachment is a great addition, as you can see what needs to be vacuumed or if you miss a spot. If you are on the fence about buying this vacuum, just do it, you will not regret it." — BigE
"I bought my V15 Detect almost a month ago, and I find myself vacuuming every other day or so. Im obsessed! This thing is worth every penny! The sucking power is amazing! I have a pretty old carpet, and after vacuuming, it looks pretty decent. If you're torn on the cost, don't and just buy this thing. Oh! And the wood / laminate flooring attachment is pretty cool. The green light really does make the dirt, dog hair, and whatever else expose themselves. My only concern is the fact that a vacuum makes me happy." — KCMO
Get it from Dyson, Wayfair, or Amazon for $749.99 (available in two styles).
This is definitely a splurge, so if you're looking for something a bit more affordable, check out this cordless vacuum with similar features.
16. But if you already have a vacuum you adore (you're SO Monica-coded 🤭), an attachable vacuum LED lamp that fits most upright, stick, and canister vacuum cleaners, including faves like Shark, Bissel, *and* Dyson. With this, no dust, dirt, or pet hair goes unseen or uncleaned!
www.amazon.com
Promising review: " Adding this to my vacuum has really changed how easy it is to see what you are vacuuming. This will help you not to miss any dirt and not vacuum up anything that shouldn't go into your vacuum. It is extremely easy to install. I definitely recommend adding this to your vacuum, you will be amazed." — Karen Carnes
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in battery-powered and rechargeable versions).
17. A reviewer-beloved, touchless stationary vacuum because it takes away the need to haul a heavy vacuum around the house. With this, just your broom will suffice for a great (and did I mention easy?) clean! If you live with a Rachel-type, then this is basically a household essential.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
EyeVac is a small biz that specializes in stationary vacuums to make home cleaning easier.
Promising review:"This thing is great. Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning, but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
18. Glisten disposer cleaner to get rid of the nasty grunge and odor-causing buildup from every part of your garbage disposal — blades and walls included! It's less work for you, and I've gotta admit, the foaming effect is pretty satisfying to watch, too.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher, there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell, but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it, I cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time, and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher, and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." — khrystyne torres
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.56 (available in multipacks).
19. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray that can kill the mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about terrifyingly good results.
Promising review:"I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner
Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
20. A cooktop-cleaning kit — she is a chef after all! This will get your electric stovetop looking like new again... because FYI, it doesn't have to look like it's barely survived a food fight and a stain vs. rust war that's been going on for years. It comes with everything you need, including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool.
Promising review:"Works amazing! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." — B. Swartwood
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.48.
21. A professional-strength grout cleaner so you can remove years and years worth of gross grime from your floors, countertops, and even shower tile. Did you forget that white grout existed in your home? Trust me, it's still there.
Promising review:"I did a lot of research on grout cleaners. I recently purchased a home, and the grout is SO dirty. You wouldn't even know it was white. I was between this product and another with similar ratings. I decided to go with this product and do not regret it at all. You definitely need gloves, a well-ventilated area, and a stiff scrub brush. It doesn't require a lot of scrubbing if you have a good brush. Leaving it on the longer end of 5–10 minutes is better. I'm SO impressed." — Lynn Santos
Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (also available with a grout brush).
22. A vacuum hose attachment made specifically to clean your dryer vent. Even if you clean it yourself fairly often, you'd be surprised at how much this suction will pick up. And FYI, keeping the vent clear decreases the risk of dryer fires!
Promising review:"These are great, especially for front-load machines...Our front loader started smelling. Even after draining the water line at the bottom of the washer and wiping the seals and tub with bleach, the washer still smelled musty. I tried one of the Afresh tabs the last time I cleaned the washer. I did the same water line drain, cleaning the water filter, wiping the seal and all behind the seal as much as I could get with bleach, then I put the Afresh tab in and put the washer on self-clean. After the self-clean was finished, I took a dry cleaning towel and wiped out the residue in the wash tub. The smell was gone! I now use these once a month, and we have not had any issues with odor." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.59+ (available in three colors).
23. And while you're there, a washing machine cleaning tablet to remove build-up and odor-causing grime from the constant use. After using this, that weird smell on your freshly cleaned clothes will no longer be a worry.
These are safe to use with front-load washing machines and top-load washing machines, and both high-efficiency and conventional machines. Recommended to use once a month!
Promising review:"We have a top-loading washer that was super smelly. I questioned this product's efficiency, so I only bought the six-pack. It is amazing and does what it says! Once the clean cycle is over, you'll want to wipe out the rusty, dirty residue that is left on the inside of the washer...No more smell!" — Valerie H
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.95.
24. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away.
Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $9.19+ (also available in packs of two).
25. A reviewer-beloved 2-in-1 mop and vacuum robot you can let loose in your home to ensure every crevice of your home is cleaned and free of dust, dander, and the occasional spill. You'll get to *actually* be "on a break" if you let this run for a few hours every day, since it'll cut down tons of cleaning time for you later!
Promising review:"Great vacuum and saves me time! Works great and my husband loves that you can control it with the remote! It has no issues getting under our sofas and does the carpet transitions well. I recommend this, especially at the low prices they are selling them at!" — Janell
Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in black and gray).
26. An oven scrub cleaner because it's 100% natural and 100% tough on the stains that have been there for a little too long. No shame, but it's *definitely* time for a deep clean!
Everneat / Etsy
This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface.
Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review:"This is the first time in my 50+ years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, easy to work with, smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." — Diane Coury
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $20 (available in three scents) or from Amazon for $25.99 (available with a sponge and in three styles).
27. A shower door cleaner sure to rid those hard water stains and get your glass doors back to their original clean and clear state. Remember when you could see out the shower door? Yeah, get ready for that again.
Promising review:"This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." — EJP
Get it from Amazon for $11.65.
28. And an all-purpose squeegee to maintain the shine! This works great for bathroom mirrors and windows, too. It comes in all the finishes that would match any of your current hardware, it's waterproof, *and* comes with a suction hook so you can hang it in your shower.
Promising review: " I bought this squeegee to replace our old plastic one that was old and warped. I love that this one is much wider than our previous squeegee so it takes less time to clean our glass-enclosed shower. It also has a really nice weight to it. It feels sturdy in your hand and the weight helps to pull it down to the bottom of the glass wall/door. The hanger feels secure and I love having it out of the way (our previous one sat on the shower bench). Happy so far." — shellyrae1
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
29. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that'll make it waaay easier to clean your microwave — and if you use this appliance as much as the gang goes to Central Perk, I have no doubt it needs a good clean right about now. Simply add in water and vinegar, then put it in the microwave for five to eight minutes. When it's done, just wipe clean!
Promising review:"I would give this product more stars if I could. I am a busy mom and my microwave often gets pushed to the end of my never ending to do list. So much so that I would have been too embarrassed to show anyone how gross it had gotten. I finally ordered this with the hope that it would at least help make the job a little bit easier. I was AMAZED! Seriously, the hardest part of the entire experience was trying to get the little mama's head off to fill it and that only took a minute to figure out. I followed the directions carefully and then used a sponge to wipe off the grease and food bits. My microwave looks brand-new. I will probably use a microfiber cloth next time though because the sponge pushed the mess around and wasn't needed to scrub at all... If you dread cleaning your microwave order this, I'm telling you it really does work wonders!" — MJ
Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in four colors).
31. An oil stain remover that can change a stained surface in just 72 hours 🤯. All you need to do is stir the cleaner, apply it to the stain, and wait! When you've got friends like Joey and Chandler, who are probably the messiest cooks and will undoubtedly place their oily food and hands everywhere, this is definitely a must. Love 'em, but no thank you to those kinds of stains!
Amazon
Recommended for use on marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, grout for ceramic and porcelain tile, masonry, and concrete!
Promising review:"I am so happy. This stuff removed a deep oil stain from my marble when nothing else would work. Pure whitest white with gold veined Aspen-Lincoln marble had a huge, deep oil/ lotion ring from the bottom of a counter mirror. Made me and my wife sick to our stomachs seeing it on the 3-month-old $7,500 slab in our bathroom. Tried baking powder poultices with dish soap, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and acetone — nothing touched it. Placed this Laticrete product on for about 80 hours and was patient. This solvent penetrates the entire slab. Amazing results! Oil ring was totally gone. Had to be patient following for the solvent to totally evaporate and the marble to lighten up again….. and it did. Can't recommend this product highly enough!... This one came through when it was really needed👍" — John Lessard
Get it from Amazon for $23.80.
32. A toilet bowl ring remover, a lightly abrasive pumice stone that effectively cleans the porcelain throne — no harsh chemicals needed and no damage done. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. Tried it this morning and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring, and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." — Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $11.19.
33. AND a bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit complete with refill heads so your clean toilet can ~easily~ continue on. Simply pop on of the sponge heads to the end of the stick, give your bowl a nice scrub, and release the used sponge into the trash. Your porcelain throne is now fresh and clean. ✨
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit comes with a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy. The wand has a convenient button you can use to dispose of the used sponge heads in the trash, and the heads are uniquely shaped to fit under the rim of your toilet.
Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in two bundle sets).
34. Some Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser, a nonabrasive, bleach-free miracle-working rust remover that'll have your sinks, showers, toilets, and even pots and pans looking brand spankin' new. The rust you thought was invincible has finally met its match!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Promising review:"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work, but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass; that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." — Mary in Nebraska
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors).
36. A pair of washable mop slippers, because if there's one thing our favorite Friends character loves, it's cleaning, and I have no doubt she'd want to do it just by walking around the apartment. The microfiber bottoms will clean up the dirt, dust, and hair you may have missed earlier, and these slippers are cozy, too.

To wash the mop part of the shoe, simply detach the bottom half and toss it in the washing machine!
Promising review:"Such a cute and functional house slipper! I love this so much. It feels a lot like hotel slippers but less flimsy because of the mop part. You will not feel like you're wearing a mop when wearing these. I have hardwood floors, so I vacuum a lot and rarely mop. These work so well in getting the dirt off the floor just by walking around doing your daily thing. I just throw the whole thing in the wash when it gets dirty!" — passionfrootgreentea

Danny Boyle wouldn't direct another James Bond movie despite the franchise's move to Amazon: 'That ship has sailed'
Amazon's deal to take creative control of the James Bond franchise from longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson may have rocked Hollywood, but the news hasn't changed director Danny Boyle's opinions about a potential return to the franchise. "That ship has sailed," Boyle told Business Insider, when asked if the recent news would make him reconsider directing a future Bond film. Boyle famously dropped out of the 25th James Bond movie in 2018 over creative differences with the franchise's then-shepherds Broccoli and Wilson. The project would eventually become the final movie with Daniel Craig as 007, 2021's " No Time to Die," directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga. "The thing I regret about that is the script was really good," said Boyle. "John Hodge is a wonderful writer." Boyle signed on to the 25th Bond movie in 2018 and teamed with Hodge, his longtime collaborator who wrote the scripts for Boyle's feature debut "Shallow Grave," "The Beach," and both "Trainspotting" movies. The Oscar-winning director revealed in 2022 that the story would have revolved around a Russian villain, and that Hodge's script had "embraced" the fact that Bond would die, since Craig had negotiated that in the end of his contract. But, according to Boyle, Broccoli and Wilson weren't enthusiastic about it. "I don't think they appreciated how good that script was, and because they didn't, we moved on, and that's the way it should be," Boyle told BI. In February, Amazon MGM Studios announced that it had taken creative control of the Bond franchise with Broccoli and Wilson stepping aside. The change in who is running the legendary IP may not have impacted Boyle's feelings about giving Bond another shot, but he's also pretty busy at the moment. He's currently working on a trilogy of "28 Years Later," films, which are a continuation of his acclaimed 2002 zombie horror "28 Days Later." After "28 Years Later" opens on June 20, "28 Years Later: The Bone Temple" is slated for January 16, 2026. Boyle said he hopes that with a tease of "28 Days" star Cillian Murphy returning in "The Bone Temple," he can also get a third movie greenlit. For Boyle, his time with 007 is a distant memory. "Whatever happens with Bond going forward now is what it will be," he said.
