If you're on CleanTok but don't actually *want* to clean, these are probably for you.
1. A Bissel carpet cleaner to give your rugs, couch cushions, upholstered chairs and decorative pillows the royal treatment. These loyal household members don't usually get the same attention as their hard-surface peers, but with this thing you can remove months, if not YEARS, of dust and dander in the space of a few minutes. Its compact size makes it highly transportable — which is good because ALL of your friends are going to want to take it for a test ride.

Promising review:"So easy to use and it does a great job! It will definitely pay for itself, happy with my purchase." — Mj
Price: $ 99.99 (originally $123.99)
2. A roller mop/scrubber to take on everything from mystery kitchen spills to bathroom grime (that kind that tends to overstay its welcome and seems impervious to every other cleaning device). Just roll, rinse, and boom – spotless floors without breaking a sweat.
3. And a designer door mat for when you want to make a stylish first impression before anyone even steps inside (not to mention stop dirt at the door). With a vibrant, verdant design, it screams, 'Welcome to a fun household!' while also saying, 'Wipe your shoes, please!'

Promising review:"wanted a fun doormat and this fit the bill" — citygab
4. A power spin scrubber to make cleaning those hard-to-reach spots actually fun (yes, fun!). This extendable power scrubber can handle it all – whether it's the grout between your tiles or the soap scum that's been playing hide-and-seek on your shower wall. With powerful scrubbing action and adjustable length, you'll feel like a cleaning machine! Or, well, like you're using one at least 🦾.
Target
Promising review:"Im obsessed… This works 10000% better than scrubbing ever could. My shower is WHITE WHITE. Its insane I dont think it ever was this clean, and its a new house lol. Its so worth the money. Its such a good clean. I love it!!!" — Phoebe
5. A orange and rosemary cleaning concentrate to add some autumnal notes to your fall cleaning. Why does spring get to have all the fun?? Add a little of this plant-based cleaner to some water in a spray bottle or a mop bucket and get ready to be dazzled as your bathroom transforms into an oasis of clean. The itsy-bitsy bottle and the concentrated formula ensure your cleaning's not only apartment-friendly, but also planet-friendly since it spares our transport system a good bit of water weight.
Target
Promising review:"We usually buy scent-free "green" products and are very "smell sensitive" to synthetic fragrance in our household. We like this Grove. Co. concentrates a lot -- the smell is not offensive, and the cleaning power is terrific. It's easy to mix in a repurposed empty spray bottle (no need to buy one just for this). The plastic-free packaging is great. We've repeat-purchased this product several times at Target because it's a "keeper."" — Maggie
Price: $7.99
6. A Levoit air purifyer since those of us who work from home spend a lot of time breathing the same air — and untreated indoor air can range from being a little stale to even causing fatigue! When the weather won't always cooperate with open windows, this powerful purifier will make sure you're breathing only the best.
Target
Promising review:"I bought this initially for a smoker issue in my apartment complex, but kept it for my allergies. The first day, the smoke smell in my new apartment went away completely within a few hours of using this thing. It has done WONDERS for my air quality in my apartment now living in a very allergy heavy area. The price point for how effective it works is a steal imo." — Daria
Price: $89.99
7. And a jar of the Pink Stuff cleaning paste because, while TikTok might have made it famous, we come back to it since this stuff works! This cruelty-free, all-purpose cleaning paste will astonish you with it's nearly infinite applications and absolutely astonishing results. Just add a dab to your scrubber of choice, treat the area in question, and rinse with hot water. You'll swear this paste is more of a time machine than a cleaner.
Target
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing. I was skeptical because of all of the positive reviews and thought there was no way it could be THAT good. It truly is, this stuff has gotten out rings on stainless steel and bathroom stains. Cannot recommend enough." — AllyCat
8. A powerful scrubbing steam mop for those of us who will accept nothing less than literal cartoon sparkles shining from the floor once we're done cleaning. Combining rotating buffing pads with powerful steaming, this steam mop can thoroughly sanitize whatever hard floor surface it comes into contact with — and can do it chemical-free!
Target
9. A extendable scrubber to keep you from having to switch from scrubber to scrubber and to help avoid the bathroom-cleaning-hunch so many of us assume is a necessary evil. No more! This scrubbing wand features a wide adjustment range that can go from medium to mop sized, or longer! Apply the cleaner of your choice and do your best Wayne Gretzky impression as you literally wipe the floor with your opponents (meaning dirt, of course).
Target
Promising review:"Made my cleaning experience effortless. You can reach higher up. Scrubs tiles, tub, glass shower door with less elbow grease. The scrub/sponge gets all shower residue off. Definitely purchase if you hate bending to clean, or you need to reach the unreachable surfaces in your tub/shower." — SL
10. A Dyson cordless stick vacuum because some of us want the Batmobile of handheld vacuums and refuse to settle for anything less. This trendy looking appliance isn't just another pretty face — the powerful Dyson vacuum technology inside traps dust and allergens as small as 0.3 microns. That's about a hundredth of the width of a human hair... divided in half! 🤯
Target
Promising review:"Works great on my wood floors and on carpet. Long hair doesn't get tangled in the roller." — Pammie
11. An O-Cedar spin mop and bucket in case you haven't hopped on CleanTok's favorite trending wet mop. Hailed as the greatest thing since sliced bread, this mop combines a rotating mop handle with foot-powered centrifuge to produce a mop that basically wrings itself out. You'll wonder how you ever dealt with those old-fashioned yellow mop buckets and their squeeze-wringing design!
Target
Promising review:"Absolutely recommend this mop. Easy to use and wrings out the water very easily so you won't have soaking wet floors." — Makayla
12. Or try a reed oil diffuser if you're are all about passive solutions. This diffuser works great for spaces who could always use a little help in the smell department. Think entryways, so that your first step through the door sets the cozy-train in motion, or in your bathroom, to have a spa day every day. Great for those who already have a handful of essential oils or those who'd like to get in on the aromatherapy action!
Target
Promising review:"When it comes to home fragrances I always try to find the long lasting and concentrated one. This oil diffuser is amazing the smell is wonderful, lasts a REALLY long period and the essence does not go away, I highly recommended!!" — Marian
13. A Swiffer Wet Jet for the folks who are post mop-bucket (how edgy). While we have nothing against the old fashioned ways of cleaning, this ultra portable mopping solution comes with its own premixed floor detergent and disposable mop pads. If you've ever reversed an afternoon's worth of mopping by accidentally dumping the bucket a little off center, you may need one of these to trust the cleaning process again.
14. A posh and neutral cleaning caddy to channel your inner beige-fluencer. With its wooden handle grip and brushed steel body, this rust-resistant caddy will see you through many a cleaning-sesh and has capacity for days!
Target
Promising review:"I love how cute this looks! It also fits quite a bit of cleaning material. I love that it's not plastic so it's very sturdy." — Bells47
15.
A toilet wand with disposable pads to leave your potty pristine while keeping a friendly distance from the bowl. This toilet wand comes with a handy caddy that keeps a stack of fresh, detergent-loaded scrubbing pads at the ready. Also, a handy button on the handle makes it easy to dispose of the scrubbers in the trash by ejecting them like an escape pod. Basically, it's about as 007 as a toilet wand can get!
Target
Promising review:"We all hate cleaning the toilets, right? Well this little Clorox toilet wand is easy to use and no need to attach the scrubber by hand. They click right in from the caddy." — Crystal B
16. Or! A Scrub Daddy PowerPaste and Scrub Mommy sponge for those of us who love a power couple. Seriously, we've all fallen for the entire Scrub family by this point. But now we have an all new reason to invite them over: a tough-on-grease paste that polishes, cleans and protects surfaces. Pair that with Scrub Mommy's magnificent design (did you know it's top-rack dishwasher safe??) and you're living space will go from meh to muah in no time!
Target
Promising review:"If you have a glass shower door — immediately yes, buy now!! You don't have to use much paste. Was able to do entire job without taking breaks (like I do for stronger scented cleaners). Followed directions and at the end I used a slightly damp microfiber cloth to get the last bit of residue." — B
17. A six-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths since paper towels are so over. JK! We love you paper towels! 🤧 That being said, for general housekeeping this multi-pack has got your back for all your cleaning needs. Dusting? Nothing dusts like an ultra-fine microfiber. Need something more heavy-duty? Waffled texture's got you covered. Best of all, they're a quick wash away from being ready for another clean-a-thon. Your wallet, and a few trees, will definitely thank you.
Target
18. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles drop-in toilet cleaners for an analogue way to automate everyone's favorite task... (I'm joking, obvi). For those who would rather maintain a hard-fought clean for as long as possible, these handy tablets keep your potty clean and germ-free for up to four weeks.
Target
Promising review:"I love how clean these keep my toilets and how they prevent water lines!! I wish they lasted a bit longer but I love opening the toilet seat and seeing blue water as if I just cleaned my toilet each time." — Morgan W
20. A Swiffer wet and dry sweeper because one is the loneliest number, and that's why we chose this heavy duty Swiffer which not only boasts two functions but also a 50% gain in sweeper width. (1.5 is definitely less lonely than one, I mean c'mon!) From wet to dry and from window to wall, this capable addition to your household cleaning tools will save you time and valuable cleaning closet space.
Target
21. And a package of heavy-duty pet Swiffer pads for the ones whose fur babies seem like 99% fur and 1% baby. (Still love you, Sprinkles!!) These 3D textured sweeping cloths trap and lock stray shedding and most allergens from dog and cat dander. Add in the deodorizing power of Febreze, and we'll bet you'll hear the words all pet owners dream of: "I didn't know you had a pet!"
Target
Promising review:"We have four English springer spaniels and without these Swiffers I don't know what I'd do. The 'good for dog' vacuum cleaner rollers have hair wrapped around the rollers! What a pain. Swiffer's no problem and I can get under the furniture. So easy to clean." — grandmama
22. An oven cleaning spray I'm honestly considering making my emergency contact. Within seconds of being applied, this stuff absolutely melts the caked-on grease and grime your oven seems really committed to holding on to.
Target
Promising review:"Hands-down the best! Very versatile, I even use this to remove super stubborn stains from glass stove top. I leave it there for a longer time and wipe it off, instantly cleaned. I didn't even need to scrub. I had my sister try this on her disgusting stove with a super thick layer of accumulated grease on top (ewwww!) and it worked like a charm!" — Z
23. A cashmere vanilla linen spray for when your bedroom needs a dash of crème brûlée and enchanté. While this list abounds in tough grime-removers and space-sparklers, sometimes a quick bedroom misting is all we have time for on a busy day. This luxurious spray does triple duty, as it can be used on linens, hair/body, or just as a way to give your air a little freshening.
Target
24. A squeegee broom that feels like it's from the future – and works like it, too! This silicone-lipped broom does a dazzling job getting wet messes contained, but also does most of what your un-cleanable bristle broom does with way less yuck.
Target
Promising review:"This is a decent substitute for a portable stick vacuum. My Dyson died and I couldn't afford a replacement. This gets most of the pet hair and dirt off my stairs and from the corners a full sized vacuum can't easily reach. Definitely better than a regular bristle broom and can stretch out the time needed between full vacuum jobs. Also an easy rinse or wipe to clean. Just be sure to hang it to store or store it upside down, or the blade will warp." — wsomes
Price: $34.99
25. And finally, a cordless handheld vacuum which specializes in pet hair. Seriously, if our pets weren't the best things that ever happened to us, we may not be able to justify all the extra cleaning. 😭 Luckily for them — and even luckier for us — we have powerful vacuums like this one to help us lighten the load. For those of us who want a mini vacuum to do quick jobs (like the car) or whose cleaning needs don't warrant a full-sized or stick vacuum, this little dynamo will keep you and your space clean.
Target
Promising review:"I have a bunny and this little machine sucks up all the loose pieces of hay, hay dust. I also use it to clean the mess I made from the countertop after cooking. Also use it to vacuum the countertop. Very versatile. I have a Dyson which I use to vacuum the ground, hardwood floor and carpet. I feel changing the head of the Dyson and removing the rod is too much work if you just want to vacuum something real quick. I always plug this machine back to charge. So I wouldn't run out of juice." — Lily
Price: $79.99 (originally $99.99)
