We're talking sparkling clean results with little-to-no elbow grease.
1. A tub of magical heavy-duty all-purpose cleaning wipes — they can remove everything from grease to ink stains almost instantly and with zero water required. They're also formulated with aloe and vitamin E, so they're gentle on your skin but still tough enough to remove permanent marker, adhesive residue, and more.
These wipes are nonabrasive so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors, vinyl, baseboards, and more.
Promising review:"I have a small kitchen, and everything tends to get an oily, greasy film on it very quickly. I don't have a tile backsplash or a range hood, and my fridge is right next to my stove, so the paint on the wall and the textured fridge get pretty disgusting. The tiniest little oil splatter seems to cover my whole kitchen. When these wipes arrived yesterday, I attacked my kitchen with them. They worked amazingly well! I didn't realize how much grease was really sticking to everything until I saw how disgusting the wipes were getting. Luckily, they're huge, so I was able to cover a lot before I needed a new one. I have very sensitive skin, and these didn't dry my hands out at all. I also get severe migraines, which are easily triggered by chemical smells, and these have a nice, lemony scent that didn't trigger me at all. 10 stars!" — Michele West

2. Swiffer's upgraded Power Mop that sprays the perfect amount of cleaning solution at the simple touch of a button. Unlike regular Swiffer pads, the Power Mop's pads have hundreds of scrubbing strips to help break down any dried-up dirt and mud your visitors may have tracked in. Let's face it: you are way too lazy to deal with a traditional bucket and mop (same!), so go ahead and add this to your cart.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The set comes with one bottle of solution, two mopping pads, and two AA batteries.
Promising review:"Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when it needs to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle and a spray will shoot out directed at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first & squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles." — A. Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $24.94.
3. A microwave steam cleaner, because the mess in there doesn't just disappear when you close the door and walk away. This little device uses the power of sheer anger (and steam) to eliminate dirt and stains with ease. If your microwave is covered in caked-on tomato sauce from all the pizza you've lived off of recently, this will take care of it in less than 10 minutes!
www.amazon.com
Fill it up with vinegar and water (there are helpful fill lines inside for each!), microwave for 5-8 minutes, then remove after two additional minutes and wipe away any mess!
Promising review:"This little device is great and it's super simple. Fill to the lines with vinegar and water, nuke for seven minutes, let it sit for two minutes, then wipe clean. My embarrassingly super-gross microwave wiped completely clean with a couple of paper towels. I highly recommend this." — UglyPetty
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four colors).
4. A tub of cooktop wipes so you can easily swipe up any messes before they have time to become caked-on grime. It also works on microwaves if that's the only kind of oven you use on a regular basis.
Amazon
Promising review:"This product is amazing. I can't stand when after I am cooking how I always have oil stains and grease on my cooktop! But with one wipe I am able to now get everything off the stove. It is very convenient to be able to just use one wipe for everything!" — Debra E.
Get a pack of 30 wipes and a large microfiber cloth from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in a pack of 60).
5. An extendable cleaning pad — now you can stop hunching over to scrub your tiles or standing on the toilet to clean the top of your shower. And yes, the top half of your shower needs cleaning too — but this will make it so easy.
Promising review:"I really like this! I am 71, with arthritis, and cleaning tubs and showers was difficult. The extendable handle is very sturdy. The scrubbing pad is tough, but did not scratch the vinyl tub or shower. We have iron in our water and if the water softener runs low on salt, the orange color in the water accumulates. I used 401 spray cleaner and the OXO scrubber and the orange stain is gone from the white tub! Perfect!" — Carol Miller
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
6. Or a viral spin scrubber to tackle everything from nasty bathtubs to greasy ovens. It comes with seven different brush heads so you can scrub away at basically every nook and cranny, and the pole extends to 45 inches long so you can wave goodbye to bending over to reach the baseboards or standing on the edge of the tub to clean the shower walls.
Promising review:"The cordless design adds a level of convenience that I didn't know I needed. It allows me to move freely without being tethered to an outlet, making it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas. The battery life is impressive, providing ample time to complete my cleaning tasks on a single charge. Another aspect I love is the ergonomic design. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the lightweight construction ensures that my arm doesn't get tired, even during extended cleaning sessions. The different brush heads are easy to swap out and clean, adding to the overall user-friendly experience." — K.L.P.
Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in eight colors and a smaller style).
7. A well-loved robotic vacuum Amazon reviewers have raved about. You can schedule cleaning times right from the included remote, and it'll return to the charging dock once it's done so you can truly set it and forget it. Your guests will have no idea your new maid is actually a robot.
Promising review:"I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." — Teach3
Get the Slim 11S model from Amazon for $149.99 (also available in two other models).
8. And a cordless stick vacuum with LED lights to illuminate all the hidden dust you had no idea was secretly covering your floor. It also adjusts its suction strength depending on the floor type (so you can easily switch between hardwood and carpeted areas!), and the tangle-free brush bar means you won't spend 15 minutes afterward cutting your hair loose from the roller. Oh, and it also converts into a mini handheld vac for smaller messes! No more annoying tangled cords!!!
www.amazon.com
The filter is easily rinseable, and the battery lasts for up to 40 minutes on a single charge.
Promising review:"I did not realize how terrible my old vacuum was until I used this one! Within minutes I had a chamber full of pet hair and dirt, including baking soda that I poured on my carpet to take out any bad smells. I am so thrilled that I purchased this vacuum, and for the price, you really can't beat it! Do yourself a favor and buy one." — Michelle
Get the 16V model from Amazon for $90.10 (also available in a 20V model).
9. Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads that make cleaning up after accidents so easy — seriously, you don't even have to scrub. Simply place a pad over the stain, press down with your foot, then remove to reveal a good-as-new carpet.
The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved! Everything you need is on the pad already.
Promising review:"I never ever write reviews for anything, but I just had to write one for these. We have two dogs and one of them will get sick or have an accident in the house a few times a month. I've used all kinds of carpet cleaner as well as the SpotBot, but they never seemed to really get the stains out. I bought these on a whim because I was desperate to find something that might work and guess what? THEY WORKED! No joke, every stain I have put these on has come out of the carpet. I have told everyone I know about these and have heard great things from them as well. If you are on the fence, just give them a try!" — Angela Mimm
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.48.
10. A giant lint roller on a stick sure to quickly become any pet owner's new best friend. The handle makes it possible to reach under furniture without bending down — though you'll probably be grossed out by all the hair it picks up.
Amazon
Promising review:"These lint rolls are super easy to put on the handle/stick! If you're an everyday user (I'm always cleaning!), each roll lasts me two weeks! They pick up dog hair, dirt, and other filth on carpet and hardwood without leaving a sticky residue! The best product I've ever used!!! Life-saver!!! Amazing!!!" — Meagan
Get it from Amazon for $23.48 (also available in a pack of three rollers).
11. A pair of fluffy slippers with microfiber mops on the soles so you can get some cleaning done while you make your way from the couch to the kitchen and back to the couch again. You'll use way less paper towels the next time you knock over a glass of Moscato.
Promising review:"So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes. Drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." — G. Kim
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 17 styles).
12. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to stop soap scum and residue from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray and walk away — your future self will be so grateful.
Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, include soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D.
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).
13. Or a powerful spray that'll break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower is actually supposed to look like.
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 it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and a four-pack).
14. And!! A rust-removing spray in a ridiculously easy-to-use gel formula — it looks those annoying orange stains right in the eye and says, "bring. it. on." Oh, and it does so with no scrubbing required: just spray, leave it on for a few seconds so it can activate its rust-dissolving magic, then rinse 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 $11.38.
15. A toilet wand with disposable cleaning heads (the cleaning solution is built-in - just activate with water!) that makes scrubbing the porcelain throne feel like less of a chore. The kit comes with six refill heads (and a handy dandy storage stand for the wand and refills) to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet brush and get to scrubbing in about 30 seconds!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
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 semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." — Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
16. Or!!! A click-on automatic cleaning pack that clings right inside the toilet bowl to keep things fresh. It'll clean with every flush and buy you some time in between more thorough scrubbing sessions.
One gel lasts for up to 12 weeks!
Promising review:"This is a nifty design. Easy to use and press on without being a mess using the one piece design. Beautiful scent. It really does release a pleasant scent each time without being overwhelming." — outlander22
Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $17.88.
17. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller to pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in its wake. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon with 139,000 perfect ratings) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair, and the quick-release button makes it a breeze to remove the fur from the roller brush.
Promising review:"I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." — Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
18. A Power Dash carpet cleaner so lightweight and compact, it has more than 55,000 reviewers looking forward to deep-cleaning sessions. It features a powerful brush specifically designed to tackle your pet's nastiest messes, and it uses the power of 🔥 HeatForce 🔥 to quickly dry your carpets so you won't have to step on a wet floor for hours afterward.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This carpet cleaner is better than I could ever imagine. When I first got it, I was skeptical because it was so small. I couldn't wait to see what it did. I started my carpets at 6 and was done by 10. That included two living rooms, two hallways, and two bedrooms. My carpet was so clean, I stood there just starting, amazed at my carpets. I had big dirt spots from plants and pee spots from my pooch, and after I cleaned it, you couldn't even [tell] the stains were there! One of my carpets is cream and the carpet cleaner did so well you couldn't tell that it wasn't done professionally. The carpet cleaner is lightweight and easy to assemble. The way my carpet was dry was amazing. All carpets were dry by 11. I never would have thought that a small carpet cleaner could even give these types of results. Everything about this carpet cleaner and solution is amazing, and I wish I found it sooner. Run and get you one right away!" — Myriam H.
Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (available in "Advanced" and "Pet" styles).
19. Bissell's iconic Little Green cleaner — reviewers say it's surprisingly lightweight and easy to use, so you won't mind carrying it around to give all the upholstery in your home a good cleaning. Yes, cleaning your couch and mattress is pretty deep in theory, but this little gadget makes it an absolute breeze.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
This beloved device is easy to use: just fill it with the included cleaning solution, then move the cleaning brush along any upholstered fabric as the nozzle sprays the solution and quickly sucks up any stains.
Promising review: "I love this thing. I bought it on a whim after seeing so many TikToks about it, and I can now say I am obsessed with it. As soon as it arrived I wanted to try it out, so I started on an old, old stain on my rug, and imagine my surprise when it instantly came out (I had tried every cleaning product prior to this). Then I thought I would try my couch, and it now looks brand new. Next was my car. I've owned my car for 10 years, and it has fabric seats. Honestly, I was grossed out by how much brown liquid and dirt came out of those seats, but my car looks and smells amazing now. I would highly recommend this; easy to move around and clean rugs, couches, cars, chairs, and more." — Zoey
Get it from Amazon for $99.99 (also available in a "Pet Deluxe" style and a "Cordless" model with a more powerful motor).
20. A pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you, because I bet you didn't know you should be cleaning it. These will break down lime and mineral buildup in the main compartment, internal pumps, and the pump and valve — so your dishes will come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials.
You can place one in the detergent tray and run a normal cycle. An additional tablet can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher for a deeper clean. You can also use it while cleaning dishes by placing a tablet in the bottom of your dishwasher when running a normal cycle.
Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" — Sheila
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
21. A tub of glass-cleaning wipes so you can give your windows and mirrors a quick wipe down without fumbling around with a giant spray bottle and a bunch of paper towels. If you have dried toothpaste stains all over your bathroom mirror — it's really time to add this to your cart.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
You'll also receive a microfiber cloth to use if you're looking for an even more streak-free shine.
Promising review:"These wipes work very well! Even came with a nice soft cloth! What! Yes! I was surprised too! I've been using these to clean off all the doggie nose snot smudges from my car windows and my dog's 'lookout' windows, where she protects our home from squirrels. I highly recommend this product. Works very well and they are very good quality! It's nice to see clearly out my windows again." — Nancy Domingo
Get a bottle of 30 from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in packs of 20 and 60).
22. The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray — it's everything you love about The Pink Stuff in a ridiculously convenient spray bottle. Just roam around your home and spray it all over your dirty sink, crusty oven, or grimy tub.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I randomly bought this to reach the same-day shipping limit. I had never heard anything about it, and MAN, was I surprised! Our table and counters always had streaks and buildup from other products, and this cleaner completely took it away. My table and counter have never looked better, and I am not exaggerating. Smells good, too! I went ahead and bought the cream, too, and cleaned the bottom of my pans and my kitchen grout. Amazing!" — Hillary Y.
Get it from Amazon for $4.86 (also available in packs of two and three).
23. A small but impressive power scrubber to break down all the caked-on grime in your shower so you can turn your bathroom into the clean, shiny sanctuary you truly deserve. You can use it on basically any tough spaces (think the tight areas around your faucet, window sills, etc) and it claims to work twice as fast as a manual brush, so you'll be saving so much time.
Psst: Batteries are included!
Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown had to say:"I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap, and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.
Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (refill heads and attachments also available).
24. A super-long duster — it can reach high enough to clean your ceiling fans and vents and far enough to clean that weird space underneath your dresser. You could practically lay on the couch and speedily dust every surface around you when last-minute visitors are on their way.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable.
Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." — M. C. Payette
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors and a version with extra attachments).
25. A Swiffer-style cleaner specifically designed to fit in all the grooves in your baseboards, because, honestly, when was the last time you actually cleaned them? It may seem like a time-consuming task, but the four-foot handle makes it a breeze to reach the baseboards without even bending over.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." — retired
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
26. And a flexible coil lint and dust brush so you can finally reach all the dust in your dryer vent (built-up lint is a fire hazard, btw!) and the crumbs that are hiding underneath your oven and fridge. I'm shuddering just thinking about what's living under there.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The full length of the brush with handle is 27.5 inches, while the actual brush itself is 13.5 inches.
Promising review:"I use one in the dryer filter area and one under the refrigerator. They get dust I can't get any other way. I gave five stars for durability even though I've had them for only a short time. They feel sturdy to last long enough for me." — ASF
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99 (also available individually and in a three-pack).
27. A mold and mildew stain remover in a squeezable gel formula that can cling onto awkward vertical and inclined surfaces and fit in tight spaces. Just squeeze, walk away, then give it a quick rinse in the morning to reveal some jaw-dropping results.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I hardly leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this product. I just received this yesterday, applied it last night and this morning it's like I have a brand new bathroom. I'm embarrassed to show 'before' and 'after' photos cuz it was so nasty, no matter how hard we scrubbed the mildew wouldn't go away. I almost cried when I saw my bathroom this morning. Don't hesitate, buy this now, you won't regret it." — Bianca Green
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
28. A pack of foil liners to catch all of the grease and oil splatters that basically do a full acrobatic routine in the air and land right under your gas stove top's burners. You can just toss and replace 'em once they get too dirty.
Promising review:"One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" — Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in a pack of 100).
29. Or a set of similar liners for electric ranges that are perfectly sized to fit right underneath the burner, so you can wave goodbye to scrubbing that pasta sauce that accidentally spilled over.
Promising review:"These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." — chem grad student
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
30. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser to help you remove stains and burnt-on food with ease — meaning you can quickly get your stove top to look like less of a disaster. The original formula is in a powder that must be activated with water, but this version is premixed and ready to go!
www.amazon.com
It's safe to use on stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic tile and more. Just apply it with a wet sponge and wipe off within one minute of application.
Promising review:"Love, love, love this product! It cleans my glass stove top beautifully. I've also used it for the bathtub and sinks in my home and it cleans them perfectly. Great price, great product!" — Linda M.
Read our review of the Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser.
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.25+ (available in two sizes).
31. A set of washable liners that'll catch the lasagna that's bubbling over before it has a chance to reach the bottom and basically become a permanent part of your oven forever. Now, you can just take this out and give it a quick rinsing instead of endlessly scrubbing.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning over and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" — Vicky
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $16.99.
32. A jetted tub cleaner for anyone who desperately needs a relaxing bath, but the thought of scrubbing your grimy bathtub is simply too much to handle. It'll remove all the gunk trapped in the places you can't even see, so your tub will be the cleanest it's ever been. You'll barely have to lift a finger — just gently wipe away any leftover grime once it's done doing its job!
www.amazon.com
Just fill your tub with hot water, add 4 ounces of cleaner, run the tub's jets for 15 minutes, then drain the tub and wipe away any remaining residue.
Promising review:"Love this stuff. I was skeptical at first. I am a huge germaphobe, and this worked well enough for me to actually take a bath at my new place with the jets on!" — Ann
Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
33. A window squeegee with a 53-foot extendable pole, because let's be honest, you haven't given your windows a thorough wipe down in months. This can extend to reach those high-up windows you always forget about (but trust me, they still get dirty), and the included microfiber scrubbers can tackle the toughest fingerprints (or snootprints if you have any furry friends) without ever having to step on a chair.
www.amazon.com
Psst! The Pink Stuff now makes a window cleaning spray that would pair perfectly with this!
Promising review:"I had this for several months, and I really like it. It's thin and light, but it is very sturdy. The pads are still in great shape after months of use. It's easy to clean, and it works great on glass and hard floors — either wood or tile." — JKC2
Get it from Amazon for $23.97 (available in two sizes and two colors).

I Swear By This Product For My Bathroom And Hallways — And It's Not Just For Kids
Few things ruin a night of sleep faster than waking up to pee in the middle of the night and turning on the blinding overhead light in your bathroom, jolting you awake and making it nearly impossible to fall back asleep once you're done. The same can be said for having to turn on the hallway light so you don't fall down the stairs in the dark when all you want is a midnight snack. Frankly, I had always assumed nightlights were for children who struggled with a fear of the dark. But when a previous roommate wordlessly put a nightlight in our apartment's shared bathroom, I quickly realized how subtly revolutionary these practical little gadgets are. I absolutely loved never having to turn on the overhead light late at night, so I could actually fall back asleep after a bathroom trip. I now swear by my GE rotational LED nightlights for my bathroom, kitchen and dark staircases, so much so that once I moved into a new place, I, too, wordlessly bought and plugged in nightlights of my own. I'm now on a self-proclaimed mission to convert everyone I know, because I'm truly convinced that they're a life hack. These nightlights come in a welcome two-pack (since once you realize how useful these are, one won't be enough anyway) and are light-sensing, so they stay off during the daytime and light up at dusk when a room grows dark. This style gives off 40 lumens of soft illumination so you can easily see and get around without hurting your eyes. I love how they rotate a full 360-degrees so you can direct their light directly to where you want it (I like to concentrate the light above my sink), plus they're sleek enough that you'll have room to utilize the outlets above or beneath them. These little home upgrades are so practical and affordable, I'm convinced they'd make great small gifts, too. While my rotating nightlights are my ride-or-dies, I've also compiled a few other great nightlight styles, including one with an extra-bright light and a dimmable, motion-sensing version. Read on for more standout options. Amazon These light-sensing plug-in nightlights are a bestseller on Amazon and give off warm white light to help illuminate bathrooms, nurseries, hallways, kitchens and more. They're also available in styles that give off cool white light or that cycle through the colors of the rainbow, a cool feature that's sure to be a hit among kids. $11.34 at Amazon $11.86 at Walmart Amazon This nightlight is dimmable, so you can adjust it from 0 lumens all the way up to 100 lumens. It's also light-sensing, so it'll turn off during the day and on during dusk. $11.44 at Amazon $11.44 at Walmart Amazon Life editor Kristen Aiken spotted these minimal amber-colored LED light on Eva Chen's Instagram and grabbed them up for a family member who just moved into a new home. The light-sensitive device will automatically illuminate when it senses darkness and has an ultra-slim profile. $11.97 at Amazon Amazon This motion-sensing option handily turns on its soft white light when it detects motion in the dark, and turns off again after 60 seconds of inactivity (you can also opt to turn this function off, keeping the nightlight either always on or always off). You can adjust its light from a softer 30 lumens to a bright 60 lumens. Its motion-sensing function makes it a great choice for dark areas like garages or even closets, plus helps cut down on your electricity bill. It's also available in a number of colorful lighting options (including blue, purple, green and more) as well as in a daylight white color. $12.99+ at Amazon This Affordable Grout Cleaner Has Jaw-Dropping Results This Surprisingly Chic $7 Pill Case Is The Most Important Item In My Bag Under-$30 Upgrades Your Bathroom Is Probably Missing

The Book Nearly Died With Him in the Amazon. But the Story Endured.
In 2018, the British journalist Dom Phillips joined a 17-day expedition into the Javari Valley, a vast, nearly inaccessible Indigenous land on the western edge of the Brazilian Amazon, tracking signs of an isolated group increasingly threatened by illegal activity. It was a grueling journey: 650 miles by boat and foot, crossing treacherous log bridges, dodging snakes and pushing through suffocating forest. The river, when it reappeared, offered both relief and what Phillips later called moments of 'exquisite loveliness.' He was struck by the Indigenous guides' command of the 'forest's secrets,' but even more so by Bruno Pereira, the expedition leader and a seasoned official at Funai, Brazil's Indigenous protection agency. Phillips saw him as a public servant deeply committed to protecting Indigenous peoples (though he was not himself Indigenous), and able to navigate the Javari with unmatched ease. When he returned to the region to work on a book, he set out to document how an Indigenous patrol was protecting the largely ungoverned territory — an effort then led by Pereira. The two men ran afoul of an illegal fishing gang and were killed in June 2022. But the story did not die with them. Journalist friends and family have brought Dom Phillips's work to life with the release of 'How to Save the Amazon: A Journalist's Fatal Quest for Answers.' Over three years, they completed the half-finished manuscript thanks to crowdfunding, grants and, finally, a willing publisher. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
