1. A bottle of Bioclean if you've tried everything to get rid of the hard water stains on your cloudy glass shower doors, faucets, tiles, and grout, and they STILL look like they've been through the struggle. It works on pools too!
Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" — Laura
"Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter
Get it from Amazon for $17.77.
2. A pack of duster sponges that are super similar to the often sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster. With these, there's no need to juggle a bunch of different cleaning tools or products — just give it a quick dampen, and you're ready for a deep-cleaning session or a quick touch-up before guests arrive.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia
"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

3. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier so you won't have to dust as often thanks to the true HEPA filter designed to effectively eliminate pet dander, dust, odors, and other particles. You'll notice an immediate improvement in air quality and freshness, making your home a more inviting and comforting space.
Promising reviews: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sq. ft. townhouse and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought two of the smaller version of this same purifier for the two bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I've had all three purifiers going 24/7 for 4 months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo
"I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy
Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $99.99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $49.99.
4. A grill scrubber because those Brillo pads and wire brushes require way too much effort, only for them to *still* not get the job 100% done. Crafted from heat-treated glass (similar to pumice stone), this helps you remove burnt-on remnants of hamburgers, steaks, chicken, and even built-up bacon grease in minutes, with no harsh cleaning products needed. Reviewers say it made their racks and grates look like new!
Amazon
Promising review:"My grill accumulated a lot of crud as a result of many cookouts. I tried to keep it as clean as possible with a wire brush and various cleaning pads and cleaners. I never could get the rack and grates to look like new. There was always a layer of permanent food residue, carbon, and other debris that defied removal. I decided to give the Magic Stone Grill Cleaner a shot. Surprise! Surprise! This is truly a magic stone. It removed everything from the grill parts that I worked on and left them looking like new. The cleaning process did put grooves in the bottom of the stone and that helped to get the sides cleaned off as well." — Duffer.
Get it from Amazon for $6.88.
5. A fume-free oven cleaner you can let sit overnight to wipe away years of spills and burnt bits. As an added bonus, you can clean out your disaster zone of an oven without being left with a headache from the fumes. It'll be so clean in there, it'll practically look brand new.
Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, 'You'll clean it tomorrow.' As you all know, that's code for someday.
"This one was the oven cleaner I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
6. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox toilet wand starter kit complete with a wand, six disposable heads infused with cleaner, and a caddy for storage. Just snap on a cleaning head, scrub away all the yuck and gunk, and then toss the used head into the trash. No more dirty rags or sponges that need to be sanitized or thrown away!
www.amazon.com, Amazon
I also use these for quick touch-ups in my shower in between deep cleans when I don't feel like pulling out a scrub brush!
Promising review:"Let's be real – cleaning toilets is a necessary evil. There is nothing that I hated doing more. I used to avoid Clorox wands due to the price of the scrubbing heads. Why spend that money when you can use your traditional toilet bowl cleaner for way cheaper? Because it makes it SO EASY. No need to deal with gloves, messy toilet bowl cleaners, keeping bristles of a brush clean, keeping the brush and container dry so it's not gross, etc. These wands take the YUCK out of cleaning it. I'd rather pay the few extra bucks each month to be less grossed out. I have one for each bathroom, but you could use one head for two toilets if you really wanted to. If you dislike cleaning toilet bowls the traditional way as much as I do, buy this product. You won't regret it." — Emily J.
Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $18.99.
7. A vacuum cleaner for cleaning up the crumbs from yesterday's on-the-go breakfast, dust from who knows when, and bits and pieces of everyday life that somehow found their way into every crevice of your car. It's lightweight and comes with three attachments to help reach all those hard-to-get-at spots making cleaning feel less like a chore.
Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter.
Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in two colors, a cordless version, and a version with a light).
8. Dawn Powerwash so you can skip over the whole "I need to let it soak overnight" bit because it *obliterates* baked-on messes with just one spray. It's also great for deep cleaning other areas — like when your culinary adventures leave a greasy mess on your countertops, stovetop, and other appliances.
Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe.
Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." — Kimba
" The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF
Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.
9. Plus, an Oxo Good Grips dish squeegee made with flexible silicone designed to glide through grease on plates and pans, scooping up the toughest of leftovers without breaking a sweat. With less grime to wipe away, you'll be cutting down on water usage, making both your wallet and Mother Nature do a little happy dance.
Promising review:"If you have ever had to repair or replace a garbage disposal, then I am sure you have been lectured on basically only allowing crumbs to fall into the disposal. This dish squeegee makes prepping dishes for a dishwasher or sink washing a breeze. I hold the dish over the trash can and after a few swipes, the dish is ready for washing. In comparison to using a paper towel, it saves you money, helps protect the environment, and keeps your fingers free from gunk." — She Who Reads
Get it from Amazon for $12.14.
10. A touchless stationary vacuum so you can say goodbye to struggling with a dustpan that NEVER seems to get those last few lingering pieces of debris on the floor.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash.
Promising review:"I 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." — AC
Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors).
11. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner ready to tackle all of life's messes, from spilled coffee on your car seat to accidents from your potty-training pup on your new rug. This portable powerhouse sprays on water and stain-fighting cleaner before sucking it away, eliminating years of grime in the process. *And* it's portable and has a large tank, which = more cleans in between refills
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I'd bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don't even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning but I actually enjoy using this — it's so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." — April Scully
"Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. I t's so easy to use, and minimizes the yuck factor dealing with pet stains. That's important to me because I hate to tackle cleaning jobs like this. It's compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it's not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. You Tube has some great tips on video." — Zona lady
Get it from Amazon for $98.59.
12. For pet owners: The *iconic* ChomChom roller (with over 145,000 5-star ratings!) so you can take a quick lap around the living room, picking up every last piece of fur and lint on your furniture until you say, "Oh yeah, my couch was that color!" Unlike traditional lint rollers, there's no sticky tape nonsense to deal with — just a quick empty, and you're ready to roll again.
www.youtube.com
Promising review:"This thing had been popping up on my feed for a few months, but I had a hard time justifying the price. I really do hate cleaning cat hair so when I bought my new couch I thought, why not? Holy cow. This thing is magical. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to vacuum my furniture. Then I'd have to pick off all the fur to clean the attachment. I only had the energy to do it once a week and my allergies are out of control (yes, I'm allergic to cats and I have two 😂). Now, I clean all my furniture at least once a day. It's so quick, and the hair is scraped off into a compartment that is easy to clean. I would marry this thing if I could, but that would be weird. So I'll just carry it down the aisle instead of a bouquet. It's worth every penny. Buy it." — Tabitha R.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors.
13. *Plus* a FURemover rubber broom acting as a magnet to pull out all that pet hair (or human hair) that's made itself at home in your carpet, giving your vacuum a well-deserved break — and you'll be shook at how much more vibrant your carpet will appear! It also works wonders on wood and linoleum; the built-in squeegee is fantastic for tackling any spills or messes your furry friend may leave behind.
Promising review: " This thing is amazing!!! Great for area rugs, carpets, and bare floors. To say I hate sweeping is an understatement, dog hair is always floating away from the pile. This rubber broom is a game-changer, with two labs I always have dog hair to be swept up and this gets the job done without hair floating away. It creates easy-to-sweep-up piles of dirt and dog hair. Seriously just buy it, you won't regret it." — Trista Tozier
Get it from Amazon for $16.44.
14. A tub of internet- (and reviewer-) beloved The Pink Stuff, capable of cleaning and removing stubborn stains and dirt from surfaces such as (stay with me now): sinks, cookware, bathroom tile, stove tops, painted walls, grills, outdoor furniture, and SO much more. Using The Pink Stuff can restore the shine and cleanliness of your home, making it look as fresh as a daisy.
How effective? Well, it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form!
Promising reviews:"This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." — Jaiden
"Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." — Patricia C Tinney
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
15. A convenient, no-scrub Wet & Forget cleaner you only have to use ONCE a week to maintain a squeaky clean shower. This bleach-free cleaner removes soap scum, mildew, and hard water deposits from glass or tile surfaces without any overpowering odors. Just spray it on, walk away, and rinse it off the next day — easy peasy.
www.amazon.com
The key is to start with an already clean shower — then, once a week, spray it down with this for upkeep so you don't have to deep clean quite as often!
Promising review: "Let me be clear: I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name, oddly enough), and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to its original glory. Get it, use it.....but dang it, don't forget it!" — Randy B
Get it from Amazon for $19.39 (available in two scents).
16. And their outdoor cleaner to tackle the unsightly moss, mold, and mildew clinging to the vinyl siding on your back patio, removing it *without* the dreaded scrubbing, in true Wet & Forget fashion.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH
Get it from Amazon for $21.30 (also available in packs of two and four).
17. Or a Sun Joe electric pressure washer that can easily blast through years of buildup, leaving your fence the color it's supposed to be.
It's great for washing down cars, houses, boats, patios, and outdoor furniture, and it comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, and a clean-out tool.
Promising review:"I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." — Tim
Get it from Amazon for $199.
18. The Baseboard Buddy to spruce up your living space without putting in too much elbow grease. Instead of kneeling down to clean and straining your back or knees, you can use this duster that extends up to 4 feet. The microfiber pad on the end will pick up any dust, giving your home a fresh new look!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse!
Promising reviews: "Oh my gosh, I love this thing. Simple to use; I wish I'd invented it! I hate cleaning baseboards and this works perfectly!" — Leigh
" Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
19. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner if you're tired of seeing handprints, paw prints, and everything else all over your stainless steel appliances. Spray them down with this, and just *one* swipe of the included microfiber cloth is all that's standing in between you and smudge-free surfaces.

Promising review:"Stop looking. This is the best. I love my stainless refrigerator but I absolutely HATE cleaning it. Until now! I have tried so many different stainless products over the years and None of them worked well. This is the only one that actually cleans like it should. I also use it to clean my stove and range hood. It makes all of them look so shiny and new. Once you try it, you won't go back to any other cleaner. It's the best!" — Shelley
Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95.
20. A powerful Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit to finally rescue your stove if you've tried every hack TikTok has to offer (to no avail). With the help of this cleaning solution and the included tools, you can scrape and buff all the crud away, leaving a sparkling flattop behind.
www.amazon.com
The kit comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cleaner, a grip pad tool, a scraper, and three cleaning pads.
Promising review:"Love, Love, LOVE this stuff! Who else hates cleaning their stove like me?? It feels like every time I clean the stove, it just gets dirty again. Well I found THE BEST clean for your stove top. I applied this once after having oil and food caked onto my stove, and within seconds of using the cloth to clean it off, it was TOTALLY clean. Seriously, this stuff is incredible. It also comes with a little scraper which is perfect for getting those little nuggets of food off your stove. Buy this stuff..you won't regret it!" — Meredith B

It also sports an easy-empty tank, which means you can skip the gag-worthy cleanup without a second thought.
Promising review:"I hate vacuuming. When I had to vacuum as a teen, I'd lie on the floor and cry. While I've grown less dramatic as an adult my loath of vacuuming has not decreased. Alas, I have two dogs, two cats, two men, and a crepe Myrtle tree. Vacuuming must be done regularly. I've had a Dyson for several years, but it decided it'd had enough last week. Ordered this guy on Friday. Y'all! Apparently my Dyson hasn't sucked in quite some time. I got up so much hair and dirt. I think my rug is a different color. Definitely helped with the dog smell. It's lighter than my Dyson and holds three times as much. Buy one. You won't be sad." — Shannon Miller
Get it from Amazon for $118.43 (available in three colors).
22. Plus, a ~genius~ vacuum LED light to light up your floors as you clean, exposing all those sneaky little dust bunnies and hairballs hiding in the shadows, thinking they're safe. It has an adhesive backing so you can just stick it onto the side of your vacuum, and *boom* — you've got a bright, powerful beam illuminating your path.
www.amazon.com
It features a universal design that fits most upright, stick, and canister vacuums, including Dyson, Bissell, Shark, Eureka, INSE, Tineco, and more!
Promising review: "I love being able to see all the dog hair on the floor. Makes vacuuming so satisfying." — Andrea H.
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three styles: battery-operated or rechargeable, plus a version that goes on the right side).
23. Or a robotic vacuum that'll stay on top of all the pet hair and dirt that gets tracked around your home. This handy guy features an infrared sensor for avoiding obstacles, which means it knows to avoid crashing into chew toys and furniture. And if you hate emptying vacuum bins (who doesn't?) you'll love the self-emptying feature.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
It can clean on a variety of surfaces, including hardwood floors and low- to medium-pile carpets! It also has drop-sensing tech to avoid falling down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge!
Promising review:"I just had my hardwood floors refinished and got the one large area rug in my house deep cleaned. I have 2 dogs that were cordoned off in the kitchen for the whole time the floors were being refinished, except for the little trips in a hallway to the upstairs to go to bed at night and down in the mornings. The pic I have attached is from running the Eufy (Harry) for the first time after getting the rug back and putting furniture back in the downstairs of my house. I was appalled and thrilled! I have run it two times a day for the last two days with much the same result. Icky, but this thing is a beast. It is very easy to clean, comes with tools, extra brushes and a filter and I'm not sure how I have lived without it for all these years with dogs. I recommend highly." — L.Allen
Get it from Amazon for $249.89.
24. An automatic makeup brush cleaner if you always put off cleaning your brushes — now you can save yourself from having to scrub away layers of foundation, bronzer, and blush by hand!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port so you don't always need a wall outlet.

You will thank yourself!" — Analisa Gomez

This handy dandy tool comes with five microfiber cloths, meaning you'll be able to clean your whole darn house in one sweep.
Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off.

Need a drill? Here's a good Black+Decker one.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing.
Promising review:"I don't normally write reviews, but I have to tell everyone how much I love this product. I HATE scrubbing my bathroom because I have hard water, and trying to get hard water stains off the shower is impossible. Until now! As soon as put the brush on the surface, it just ripped through the stains as if they were cleaning dust off a floor. I wish I would have taken a picture of before and after but I forgot. Not only that, but it was so satisfying to hold the drill and watch it destroy the caked of stains. And best of all, my wrists do not ache after cleaning my shower!" — RSCOTT
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces).
27. A mold & mildew removing gel that reviewers say actually worked after they tried everything. This gel is designed to stick to those stubborn stains, working its magic while you catch up on some Z's. By the time you wake up in the morning, those irritating stains will be gone!

Promising reviews: "I bought this product after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but took the chance as I hate scrubbing my shower grout.

The caulking around my tub was staining moldy, but a little hit of this, and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" — Amazon Customer

29. An Iron Out rust stain remover, aka a magical formula that works wonders on everything from showers and sinks to toilets...and apparently baseball pants??? It clings to the stains so no scrubbing is required — just spray and walk away!

Promising review:"My new BFFL. Guys. I hate cleaning, so anytime I find a product that makes it easier and faster, I'm in! This stuff works wonders. My sink had rust stains that I just couldn't get out, so I did what anyone would do... I walked away and pretended it didn't exist. But now, I spray this on and walk away and come back to a rust free sink. This stuff... Stop reading reviews and just buy it. You can thank us all later." — Laurane Petrarca
