Even if you buy everything on this list, it'll still cost less than a single night in a mid-tier hotel.
1. A mattress vacuum complete with a UV light to kill lingering bacteria and a HEPA filter to trap particles as small as 0.1 microns! Dust and mites won't stand a chance! Bedtime will be so nice, you'll be happy you don't have to call and ask for an early checkout.
Promising review: "So I brought this originally for my son, who gets really bad allergies to dust. At first, we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bedsheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try, and they were right! I couldn't believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa, which was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while, which means this product works for my family!" — Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (clip the on-screen coupon to get this deal).
2. A set of drill brushes so effective, you'll be shocked how clean your bathroom used to be. Why spend the energy scrubbing when pressing a drill button will do the trick? It's so important to delegate.
The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($29 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.
Promising review:"I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I've tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." — Traci D.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and stiffness levels).
3. A flat mop with a wringing bucket offering a space-saving option for small living spaces where storage is more valuable than gold. The compact bucket has a handle and inner scraper to remove dirt from the washable microfiber mop pads, making it a hit with over 22,000 5-star reviewers.
Promising review: "I mean really, Joymoop? Just the name made me think this can't be a serious cleaning tool. Then, it did something amazing. I have ceilings in my 75-year-old home that are plaster. Over the years, they have become grungy-looking. OK, they were filthy. I dreaded the thought of cleaning them. I bought this setup, and WOW. I filled up the chamber, added a small amount of Murphy's Oil Soap, and started to tackle a ceiling. First of all, no ladders. I can stand on the floor and work. NO DRIPS. NONE. Didn't have to cover my wood floors, nor my furniture. This thing literally SUCKED the dirt out of my ceiling. Within about two hours, I had finished a 24-foot ceiling. My wife is happy. I'm happy. I'm going to do all the ceilings in my house. It's amazing. Buy it. You'll thank me." — KStearns
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and many pad options).
4. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers for people who often forget to clean the drain after a shower and too squeamish to maintain a device like the TubShroom. You can just close your eyes and throw these away when they're too hair-infested.
Amazon
Promising review:"For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." — MER
Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack).
5. A three-blade blinds cleaner with five removable microfiber sleeves so you can clean twice as fast. Now you can stop dusting and go back to snooping on your neighbors.
www.amazon.com
It's curved to contour to and better clean traditional Venetian blinds, so these might not be a great fit for straight or oversized blinds.
Promising review:"LOVE these for dusting my blinds. Easy to switch out and clean. Definitely captures the dust. Highly recommend." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
6. A broom designed to dredge up hair from the depths of your carpet. In less than five minutes, you'll have a clean rug and a huge hairball to show off. It also works on hard floors and extends up to 5 feet long, so this thing is a cleaning tool miracle.
Check out our full review of the pet hair broom for more deets.
Promising review:"I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT, GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" — Janielle
Get it from Amazon for $15.97.
7. Or a bendy silicone " Broombi," an all-surface broom, squeegee, and pet hair remover, making it your go-to tool for all floor messes. Hair, crumbs, and even liquid spills are no match for this effective tool.
Broombi is a small business that specializes in household cleaning and pet hair-removing products.
Promising review:"Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable and stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" — Sandra Moyer
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors).
8. Foam sponges to help you expertly clean blinds, glass, baseboards, vents, railings, and more. The ridged U-shape helps it get into tight corners and scrub away dirt that's been caked on for so long, it was around for the construction of The Plaza.
To activate, just soak this in water.
Promising review: " The sponges are great! They pick up all the pesky tidbits that a towel leaves behind when wiping a surface. They're great for dusting all types of surfaces, cleaning baseboards, etc. I use them to help clean the cages of my pets! The sponges are easy to clean after use and easy to store since they completely dry down. The sponges are also easy to rehydrate and become just as flexible as the first use. The sponges are a great value and great use. Side note: I love that they come in different colors. I assigned each color a different cleaning task essentially (I.e., bathroom, animals, etc.)." — Tricia
Get them from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors and three pack sizes).
9. Ice maker tablets made with citric acid and other simple ingredients that descale, clean, and deodorize in case your ice is starting to taste a little weird. Just empty your machine, pop in a tablet, and run the cleaning cycle twice so you can enjoy fresh ice worthy of a hotel ice bucket.
This is for stand-alone ice makers, not ones built into the fridge.
Promising review: "These are magic tablets! My ice maker has never been so clean. Got rid of all the orange limescale stuff. Then, I decided to use it on my humidifier. It was completely orange in the bottom and now that is totally gone. I will definitely buy again." — Natalie
Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in liquid).
10. A blessedly effective, pet-safe carpet cleaner capable of turning your brown carpet into whatever color it was when you bought it without having to invest several hours into a scrub session.
Promising review:"This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work, so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber, and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors, once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderfully clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." — Vicky Faurot
Get it from Amazon for $19.50.
11. An electric scrubber with a nice handle so you can clean your kitchen sans wrist pain. The handy device will make quick work of your dirty pans, stove top, tile floors, or whatever else you'd prefer not to scrub by hand.
The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads.
Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The multiple brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they're super easy to swap out. I also love that it's waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it's lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" — Mplat
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
12. Goo Gone for anyone who has nearly cried trying to scrub a TJ Maxx sticker off a frame or drinking glass. This adhesive remover will help you wipe away stubborn stickers, gum, crayons, and other gooey messes so efficiently, it'll be like they were never there to begin with.
This is safe to use on glass, plastic, carpets, fabrics, and hard surfaces.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Yi Yang has this to say:
" Goo Gone is one of those things that I somehow had never heard of until this year (though others have apparently had it in their households for years). When I saw it in this BuzzFeed post, my life was changed forever. I couldn't believe I had lived for so many years without this stuff. So many presents were ruined by price stickers that wouldn't peel off properly and so many reusable glass containers thrown away/recycled because I couldn't get the sticky label off of them.
When I got my hands on a bottle, I immediately put it to test. A couple of days ago, I bought a really cool glass milk saucer from the MoMA store, but the product label left an ugly and sticky residue on it (why do shops allow stickers like this?!). I applied the Goo Gone, washed with soap and water, and voilà — the adhesive came right off, leaving my saucer crystal clear. Then, I cleaned off an old soy sauce container and turned it into a flower vase. And it can do so much more than just removing price stickers; the product description says it'll work on candle wax, permanent marker, crayon, glue, gum, tape residue, adhesive, paint, tree sap, tar, etc. It's also surface-safe and can be used on carpet and upholstery, clothing, and any hard surfaces — including glass, laminate, metal, wood, plastic, vinyl, windows, ceramic, granite, flooring, countertops, tile, and wood. And bonus: It smells nice and citrusy!
Since purchasing Goo Gone, I've cleaned off several candle tins, a Trader Joe's growler, and a kimchi jar previously marred by sticky labels — they can now be reused as pen holders and food containers! In fact, now I'm constantly looking around my apartment to see what I can Goo Gone (yes, I'm using it as a verb) and reuse. Definitely one of my best household purchases EVER."

13. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes to reach for before opting for heavier cleaning appliances that take forever to set up. The wipes are soaked in an industrial-strength formula that can break down tough stains like grease, ink, permanent marker, and wine — but they also have aloe, vitamin E, and lanolin to protect your hands.
These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, ANYTHING.
Promising reviews: "I wasn't expecting much from these, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I work on cars a lot, and I don't like wearing latex gloves like so many others do. As a result, my hands get DIRTY. I usually use the orange stuff, but I got tired of the grit and having to wipe it off with paper towels (I don't have a sink within easy reach). So I thought I would try out these cleaning towels. I have to say, I'm impressed! They don't have any 'grit' on them per se, but they are just rough enough that they easily scrape off whatever grease I have on my hands. I'm sold on these." — thatguy
"Perfect for cleaning artists' hands or quickly removing paint from clothes. I mainly use for cleaning up oil paint that has not yet dried. This was recommended by a master artist friend. It gently and quickly removes all paint from my hands and even my clothes while I'm painting." — Dot the artist
Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98.
14. Or restorative wipes for sprucing up murky and cloudy doors, shutters, and furniture that have been battered by the elements.

Every good hotelier knows first impressions are just so important.
www.amazon.com
Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home
Get five wipes from Amazon for $12.83 (also available in liquid).
15. Reusable microfiber pads that are compatible with your Swiffer WetJet, a classic for quick cleans. The machine-washable pads can replace up to 100 disposable ones, making them almost six times cheaper. Better for the environment *and* your wallet!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The pads have looped, liquid-wicking fibers that pick up dirt, hair, and wet messes.
Promising review:"The only review you need to read! So I debated HARD about buying these, and now I'm sad I didn't buy the four-pack. I got the two-pack because I wasn't sure these would work on my Swiffer WetJet. HUNNY THESE BAD BOYS ARE THE EFFING BEST THING ON AMAZON! Buy them. Buy them right now. I literally JUST used these to Swiffer my bedroom and bathroom. These stuck to my swiffer so well that I had to nearly pry them off once I was done. They are so absorbent. I swear those disposable pads will never be bought ever again. I am ordering more of these pads. They even came with a lovely handwritten note from the lady who owns the company. Honestly I have no idea why I waited so long. This was the best Swiffering ever. My floors seriously look cleaner. 20 stars." — ElleSoFresh
Get two from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a four or eight-pack).
16. The Pink Stuff, an all-purpose paste that you can use to clean basically any surface — it works on everything from marble and wood to rubber boots and car steering wheels. Wasting time scrubbing will be a thing of the past. And the future? A 5-star rating from Homes That Could Be Hotels Magazine.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We've since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We'll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." — Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
17. Glisten garbage disposal cleaner that's not only easy to use, but also very entertaining. Run some hot water, pop one of the packets in your disposer, let it foam, then wait for the foam to fully disappear, and bam! You can admire your lemony fresh drain that was basically cleaned for you.
Amazon
Promising review:"WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal,l and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" — VadersGirl
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $16.
18. A bottle of Leather Honey you can count on to help bring life back to your old furniture, car seats, and accessories. Just mix this concentrate with water, spray, and wipe off. Reviewers say the formula dries fast, so you can go back to chilling on the couch within the hour.
www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." — jellybean55
Get it from Amazon for $16.10+ (available in three sizes).
19. A Black + Decker handheld vacuum to grab when you have mini messes to deal with and don't feel like setting up the stand-up vacuum. Over 2,000 reviewers love that this cordless vacuum is lightweight, has a long-lasting battery, and is easy to clean.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This little guy cleaned up Lola's crafting and mine as well. Leather couch, tile flooring, and upholstered chairs. The only glitter left is what needs to be. It is the holidays, after all. The attachments are a quick snap-in, snap-out; easy to carry. It's said a picture is worth a thousand words." — Julie
Get it from Amazon for $105.99.
20. Or a bagless, touchless stationary vacuum for anyone who wants to feel like a member of the Jetsons. While it won't clean your whole home like Rosey, it'll act as a super effective replacement for a dust pan. Just sweep your dirt over to the machine, and it'll suck it right up.
EyeVac is a small business that specializes in vacuums for home and commercial use.
Promising reviews:"I love the way it just sucks up the dog hair, crumbs, etc. The auto mode is great, but I had to place mine under a table because every time the dog walked by it would go off and scare the heck out of her. I think it's a great product and value." — Deb
"I bought this to keep next to my toddler's high chair because I was sick and tired of bending over to clean up all her insane amounts of food and debris that she drops on the floor with every meal. This thing works so great! All I do is sweep it all in, and it sucks everything right up. It sucks up tiny little crumbs and really big chunks of wet food like macaroni alike. It has made my life so much easier,r and my floor is so much cleaner. So easy to use!" — Patti
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
21. An extendable microfiber duster set you should buy now before your roommate turns on the fan and creates a dust storm. The pole extends up to 49 inches long so you don't even have to drag the ladder up from the basement.
Amazon
It comes with four pieces: an adjustable handle, a regular short handle, a fluffy duster good for brushing stuff down from high places, and a bendable chenille and microfiber duster that grabs and holds onto dust and dirt.
Promising review:"Perfect for my needs. Love the telescoping design and that it has no protruding joints that would prevent it from fitting underneath furniture with low clearance. Reaches under, behind and around all the tight spaces I can't get to without moving heavy furniture around. The duster is also very lightweight and can handle delicate situations." — Sjay
Get two from Amazon for $34.32.
22. A Oh Yuk jetted tub jet cleaner to help deal with all the grime you can't even see hiding inside the pipes. Just run the water, pour in the cleaner, and run through the jets. You'll have clean pipes and very gross bath water just 15 minutes later. Just wipe the tub down, and you'll be back in Jacuzzi heaven; no awkward elevator ride to a hotel's indoor pool needed.
Oh Yuk is a family-owned and operated company based in Minnesota.
Promising review:"We moved out of state into an older home. Unsure about the cleanliness of the jetted tub, we used this product for the first time because of its customer rating. We ran it for 15 minutes in hot water, rinsing and cleaning out the tub afterwards. I was shocked at how much crud and disgusting filth was kicked out of the jets during the process; however, I am relieved to know the tub is now clean on the inside and out, not just appearing clean on the outside." — Painter
Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in three sizes).
23. Weiman silver cleaning wipes because the last thing you need is a set of dirty silverware ~tarnishing~ your reputation. These ammonia-free wipes offer long-lasting shine, protect items from scratching, and don't leave behind a gross residue like some polishing pastes.
I've used these and can confirm they work super fast!
Promising review:"It is very uncommon for me to write a review, but this product is amazing. My family's silverware had not been polished in the 15 years since I married my husband. The only time I ever polished anything before,e it was messy and smelly and took forever. Therefore, I didn't have any interest in polishing something that we weren't using. I decided to try these wipes because the price was reasonable. They are easy to use and do a wonderful job! The silverware looks silver! I used four wipes to polish a service of eight, and it took me about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this product!" — Kehrli
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $15.61.
24. A dryer vent cleaning system to quickly banish all the dust and debris that's been hiding just beneath the filter that you actually do clean regularly. How sneaky! This kit can remove build-up in ducts up to 12 feet long to improve your dryer's performance and prevent fire risks.
www.amazon.com
Promising review:"This thing worked AMAZING. I got a TON of lint out of my vent piping, my dryer works better now and runs cooler, and drying time has been reduced. I was amazed at how much lint build-up there was!" — Allen L Grooms
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
25. Big ol' enzyme pacs that fight through grease, fats, oils, paper, and organic matter to keep your sewer line clear. It's basically like flushing a tiny plumber down your toilet once a month.
Amazon
The formula prevents backups, overflows, and bad smells from escaping your septic tank by breaking down organic material and microorganisms.
Promising reviews:"Before you splurge on a plumber or septic company, you HAVE TO TRY THESE. We bought our home in November, and in March, our toilets started 'gurgling' and losing water when the washing machine would drain. Over the next few weeks, they gurgled more and more — when the dishwasher drained or we took a shower. I did a lot of research and none of the potential problems were going to be cheap to fix. Everything I read required having professionals come diagnose and repair our plumbing issue. I bought these and prayed for the best. I was SHOCKED. After one month, the toilets hardly made any more gurgling noises or lost water. After using these for three months now, the problem has 100% disappeared. I can't imagine the $ we saved by simply adding enzymes to our septic tank! :) Added bonus: Our 8-year-old enjoys flushing the packet down the toilet each month, LOL." — Jamie Smith
"I bought these to keep the system clear, and so far, it's a good product; I also dropped one in the shower, and it cleared the drain in 10 minutes. It works." — Rolphie A.
Get six packs from Amazon for $12.33 (also available in packs of 24 packs).
26. An Oven Cleaning Kit complete with oven scrub, all-purpose cleaner, and a metallic sponge because you can't rely on the self-cleaning feature alone. I know, I know, but someone had to say it: Your oven is gross. It's made in small batches with natural ingredients (like citric acid, glycerin, and essential oils), so it's safe for your family, pets, and home.
Everneat / Etsy
Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based Etsy shop filled with natural cleaning products and tools.
Promising review: "I LOVE this stuff. I use the multipurpose cleaner several times a day (because kids) and it makes the house smell lovely. The oven cleaner also is a miracle worker. I no longer have to use the gross self cleaning option to get the grease off. A little goes a long way too, so it is still cost effective in keeping things clean." — Thao
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $38 (available in two scents or unscented).
27. A pet stain- and odor-eliminating spray to help with the...smelly accidents that happen sometimes. The formula's natural enzymes activate on contact with odors and stains and immediately feast on ammonia crystals and organic matter. Pee spots and unwelcome odors stand no chance against this stuff!
The spray works on carpets, upholstery, garbage cans, concrete, hardwood, and more. Rocco & Roxie is a family-run small business specializing in all things pets, from treats and supplements to grooming products and toys.
Promising reviews:"Sorry to yell, but I'm so excited to finally find an enzyme cleaner that works, and FAST! I had tried other enzyme cleaners on my cat's accidents with mixed results. Most didn't work or took a very long time to do anything. Thankfully, I finally decided to try something new. The improvement was immediate. As for the scent, I don't mind it — it's certainly better than the smell of pet urine or vomit! Don't hesitate to buy this!" — Alyvee
Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes and two scents).
28. A cooktop-cleaning kit bringing shine back to thousands of electric stovetops. It comes with a cleaning solution, cleaning pad, *and* scraper tool to fight tough stains and caked-on gunk so you can get back to whipping up messy-yet-delicious meals in no time. No need to call room servi— I mean, delivery.
www.amazon.com
The six-piece set includes Cooktop Cleaner, POW-R Grip pad tool, scraper, and three cleaning pads.
Promising review:"Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years — only wiped down with random multi-cleaners that 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 the set from Amazon for $11.48.
29. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods because who knows what sort of gross grime is hiding inside there? The residue and crusted-on grinds are not just gross — they're likely making your coffee taste worse than the complimentary kind you get in the motel lobby. 🤢
www.amazon.com
Quick & Clean is a small business that specializes in coffee machine cleaning products.
Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, it keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren
Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95.
30. A beloved O-Cedar mop and bucket set that'll make mopping way faster and easier, thanks to the hands-free wringing system. The mop head's unique triangular shape allows it to get into corners, making it a favorite amongst neat freaks and professional cleaners.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
All you have to do is press the pedal down with your foot, and it'll spin away excess water.
Promising review: "This mop is fantastic!!! I clean for a living and use professional equipment provided to me... I use THIS mop at home, and I like it even better! Easy to use, great on my vinyl plank flooring, and works great getting into small areas, like around the toilet. I normally use a steam mop or a microfiber mop head on a push mop, and I think this mop does a much better job. Very happy with this purchase...would definitely recommend!" — Kellj23
Get it from Amazon for $34.97 (also available in sets with cleaning solution).
31. A rust-removing gel spray – you may be tempted to say "abracadabra" as you use it. It's that magical! The powerful gel clings to rust on contact, so you can watch stains start melting off your tiles immediately; no scrubbing needed.
www.amazon.com
Use this for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. It's nonabrasive and made with a nonhydrofluoric acid-based formula.
Promising review:"Holy wizardry! Seriously, it was more work to clean the mirror over the vanity than to use this product. With almost no effort, this made my dark orange, iron-water shower stall white again. I definitely suggest wearing a mask or bandana and running the ventilation fan if spraying in an enclosed area. Great product!" — Jessica B
Get it from Amazon for $11.35.
32. A pack of eco-friendly sponge cloths that are highly absorbent and dishwasher-safe, so you can cut down on your — quite frankly — ridiculous paper towel waste. Use them for quickly cleaning dishes, counters, walls, furniture, and more.
www.amazon.com, Amazon
Promising review:"I rarely write reviews, but these deserve a shoutout. SO much more substantial than Handi Wipes, and you can really, really scrub with them, but they never feel yucky like a sponge does. I have soaked them in bleach and thrown them in the washer, and they come out great every time. I've used the same two for a month now, and they still look great! When they go downhill, I can compost them. I only wish they had a few other colors, maybe a royal blue or sage green?" — Amazon Customer
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $15.99 (available in 12 colors and double packs).
33. A bottle of Therapy Premium stainless steel cleaner and polish to revive your tired-looking fridge in a snap. The plant-based cleaner can remove years of smudges, dust, dirt, and oil, leaving it sparkly and lavender-scented.
Britt Ross / BuzzFeed
The pH-neutral formula is made with coconut oil and works on appliances, grills, sinks, refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, range hoods, trash cans, and more. You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle.
Former BuzzFeed writer Brittany Ross says, " I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand-new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too."
Promising review: "This is a miracle worker on stainless. I have tried everything to get my stainless to shine like it should, even the home remedies, which do NOT work — sorry but they don't. This stuff is the best I have tried. I follow a girl on TikTok that recommended it and she has been right 100% on her Amazon recommendations. She nailed it again. You will love this stuff." — Amazonwoman

34. An Old English wood polish that can miraculously erase water stains and scratches. Everyone will be asking when you found the time you buy a brand new coffee table.

If you have lighter wood, consider this version.
Promising review:"I've been using this since the '80s. My mom made us spring clean every spring break. We had to go over all the doors, all the woodwork, all the furniture, banisters and cabinets. We also had to clean every wall, every cabinet out, every closet out and every drawer out lol. It was hell, let me tell you, but boy, do I know how to clean now! I now use this in my house and love it. It covers scratches and knicks and makes everything look new and shiny." — LB

35. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner, aka *Little Green*!!! This cutie pie is well known for being a compact and easy way to clean carpets, cars, furniture, and even plush toys.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Just fill one compartment with soapy water and use the cleaning head to shoot the formula on problem areas. It'll scrub and vacuum at the same time, and slowly fill the second compartment up with dirty water. Love when you can see your progress!
Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this little cleaner! I bought it because my cat was having some digestive issues, and I didn't want to keep borrowing my sister's — plus, it was on sale! It works so well and is cute as a bug! Very easy to use, and I love the tube self-cleaning attachment." — Sarah

Promising review: "I didn't think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn't smell musty, and has removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." — AVDW
