We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
We're talking every room, top to bottom.
1. A pair of sturdy-yet-comfy cleaning gloves to protect your latest mani as well as prevent all those cleaning chemicals from drying out your hands.
2. A bottle of glass cooktop cleaner so you can FINALLY get your electric stove top looking presentable (and usable) again.
3. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash formulated to cut through the toughest grease and grime to leave your dishes, countertops, and glass looking better than when you bought them. PLUS, it delivers all that with essentially no back-breaking scrubbing required.
Target
Promising review:"This product is the best. Easy and quick with clean, beautiful results! My new favorite. Did you know it's amazing on hard water spots? Try it on your shower's glass door — spotless!" — Kmurr
4. An O-Cedar spin mop and bucket that represents what I would call true *MOP MAGIC.* With a hands-free wringer, splash guard, and millions of microfiber strands that can cut through dirt *without* harsh chemicals, I'm not sure what else you could ask of a mop. This thing is the GOAT of cleaning house.
Target
Promising review:"Literally obsessed with this thing! It makes cleaning every nook and cranny so much easier. I use it for my floors, walls, ceilings, behind the toilet, you name it. So happy I bought it." — Momofgirls
5. A bottle of oven cleaner to remove grime, grease, stains, and caked-on food — all in a matter of minutes (and prevent your smoke alarm from going off every time you try to make some tater tots).
Target
Promising review:"Powerful cleaning. I am in love with this oven cleaner. I sprayed the product on, waited 20–30 minutes, and then wiped it off. Most of the nasty baked-on messes wiped right off. I will likely need a longer setting time for the little bits left over. Remember to ventilate well and not use in conjunction with bleach!" — Jijizzzzzzz
6. An extendable tub and tile scrubber, because why throw out your back while deep cleaning when you don't have to?
Target
7. A honeysuckle-scented surface cleaner from Mrs. Meyer's powerful enough to disinfect just about anything in your home, while being gentle enough that you can use it safely around children and pets. Plus, it smells divine!
Target
Promising review:"I love these cleaners. I feel they get grime off easier and work on a multitude of surfaces. I use them to clean or wipe any surface such as counter, my washer and dryer smudges, fridge handle/door, bathroom sink, etc. I love some of the scents and am repurchasing another now." — Ycas
8. A three-pack of Clorox wipes so you'll be prepared when the next disaster strikes. They're safe to use on everything from finished wood to granite countertops and kill off all kinds of yucky bacteria and viruses along the way.
Target
Promising review:"My mother taught me always to vacuum the floorboards, but I never do. So after a while, they accumulate dust and look grungy. These are perfect for wiping them down so I can ignore them for a month or two. And of course, these are great wipes for countertops. But they're essential for getting dust off the toilet tank (why do toilets hold onto dust so tenaciously, anyway?) and getting to hard-to-clean spots around faucets as well." — Theabeanster
9. A Bissel carpet cleaner to zhuzh all your rugs, couch cushions, upholstered chairs and decorative pillows with the high-powered deep clean they deserve (and have desperately needed for low-key years). Dust, dander, and dirt be darned!
Target
10. A Dyson cordless vacuum because the worst part of vacuuming is battling with the cord. Reviewers rave about its ability to suck up pet hair from any surface!
Target
Promising review:"Nothing like a cordless vacuum! It makes cleaning fun again. The Dyson does a wonderful job and even does the stairs. The only downside is that it does not hold a charge long but still so much easier to navigate than a big upright sweeper." — Rheen
11. A six-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths so you can wipe up every surface in your home in the most sustainable way possible — because there's nothing sexy about ripping through two full rolls of paper towel just to clean your bathroom. Washable and reusable, these'll serve you well time and time again.
Target
Promising review:"Perfect for cleaning. I wish they would have these waffle texture cloths individually, I use them the most." — Ami 2
12. A hard-working, multitasking Scrub Mommy sponge here to literally bring a smile to the arduous task of doing your daily dishes. More importantly, that smile is helpful when it comes to scraping off every last bit of food stuck to your silverware and utensils!
Target
Promising review:"Absolutely love this scrubber/sponge; since I made the change to these, I haven't bought any other sponges." — Rosie
13. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that really is some abracadabra stuff (*cue Lady Gaga*). Prepare to watch the scuffs and stains dotting your home disappear right before your very eyes — you will be STUNNED!
Target
14. A three-pack of drain cleaner tools because I wasn't playing when I said DEEP cleaning. That drain in your bathroom is likely loaded with hair and other scum — which means its time to go where no human should ever have to go, but inevitably must.
Target
15. A bottle of lime, calcium, and rust cleaner to rid your shower and bathroom of tough hard water stains. You'll feel so much cleaner showering in a CLEAN shower (I know, crazy concept).
Target
Promising review:"This product instantly removed hard water stains that were baked onto my black truck. I had previously tried all the other methods I found on YouTube and none of them worked and were quite labor intensive. I highly recommend this product." — worked on my truck too
16. A four-piece Swiffer dusting kit, because even though you have been ignoring those rotating wings on your ceiling fan or the tops of your bookshelves, the dust does not care and has been doing its thing anyway. Now you have no excuses.
Target
Promising review:"Never been a duster person; I feel like you just move dust from one place to the next, but this is incredible. So easy. So efficient. Lightweight. Easy to reach hard-to-reach places, and dust actually clings to the duster. What a game changer!" — NK
17. A box of eight Lemi Shine garbage disposal tablets because while the G.D. is a blessing to have, it can end up smelling pretty badly. These convenient little tablets help freshen things up for ya in an instant.
Target
18. A clear organizing bin here to the rescue AFTER you spend hours cleaning up all those spills and crumbs from your fridge. Keep things in these handy bins going forward — they're SO much easier to take out and clean rather than an entire shelf or drawer. Plus, they'll help keep you organized and make your fridge look like an Erewhon.
Target
19. A bottle of Goo Gone spray because every home has some mysterious gooey substance that no one is quite sure where it came from. Fortunately, this liquid gold is sure to do the trick in no time.
Target
20. A toilet-cleaning gel stamp set to keep your porcelain throne spotless, flush after flush. Just stamp the gel into your toilet and watch in awe as it does its thing.
21. A five-pack of Affresh washing machine cleaners because, yes, your dishwasher does need to be cleaned occasionally, despite the fact that its literal job is to wash the things you put inside it.
Target
Promising review:"We use this on the 10th of every month. It really cleans the tub. I wipe the inside of the lid and the drum top to make sure the washer is ready to go for the next month." — 49ernut
22. A power scrubber, which takes its inspiration from your electric toothbrush to visibly restore your tile grout back to its former glory — and just about anything else in your home that's covered in a weird gunk.
Target
Promising review:"My husband and I absolutely love our lil' scrubber! We bought it to use on interior auto upholstery where our drill brushes simply can't agitate. Seams of seats, around the head rests; the bristles are even soft enough to use on the dash plastic and did an awesome job at de-gunking dash buttons!" — Miranda
Price: $19.99
23. A shower squeegee to rid the glass around your in-house waterfall of any streaks, water stains, and mildew that might be building up. Works great on steamed-up bathroom mirrors after getting out of the shower, too!
Target
Promising review:"I purchased this to clean glass shower doors after showering. The short handle makes it perfect. It cleans glass so well that you think there is no door there!! I have also used it on windows. I have only had it a couple of weeks, so am hoping it holds up well. The hooked handle allows you to hang it near the shower." — chris
24. A HEPA air purifier that'll circulate the air in your room four times per hour and is virtually silent. Pet hair, dander, dust, and seasonal allergies are no match for this lil' thing.
Target
Promising review:"It has made a noticeable difference in the air quality. Wish I had purchased this sooner. Easy to use; love the night-light and timer features." — Daisy B
Price: $89.99
25. And a pack of stainless steel wipes to instantly wipe away those mysterious streaks, smudges and handprints that somehow always appear on your fridge, oven, and sink.
Target
Promising review:"I've tried a few different stainless steel cleaners, and by far this one is top of the mark! I even use it on my sink when it's wet, and it always dries to a beautiful shine when used on my enamel stove; it is the best for cleaning stainless steel and kitchen appliances! Thank you, Weiman; you're the best!" — Kat
Price: $4.99 for 30 wipes

Pacific Rim National Park Reserve reminds public to be mindful of wolves on the landscape

By Nora O'Malley Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Long Beach, B.C. – Recent reports of a pack of sea wolves in the Pacific Rim corridor acting habituated towards humans has prompted Parks Canada to issue a public reminder about how to stay safe and respect these animals. Francis Bruhwiler is a specialist in human-wildlife co-existence in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve (PRNPR). He says the pack is likely the same two or three coastal wolves acting 'very indifferent' when they see people. 'If you want to break that down, it's a loss of the natural human fear we would like them to have,' said Bruhwiler. 'That behaviour is concerning because of that loss of that wariness towards humans. It seems like it's faded a little bit.' 'Habituated wolves have been happening for at least 30 years,' he continued. 'We've had way worse. In 2017, they were in parking lots. It's not there, we're not there, but we don't want to get to that place. If everyone can take this seriously, we feel like that wariness of humans that they need can be maintained.' The human-wolf interactions started back in April when a pair of wolves showed up in downtown Tofino, according to Bruhwiler. 'There's a lot of food in those communities. And I'm not talking human food, I'm talking about dogs, cats, racoons, deer… There's a lot of prey right where we live and I think that's what people have to remember,' he said. Sea wolves primarily eat a marine-based diet; they are known to feed on otters, salmon, harbour seals, herring eggs, clams, mussels and whale or sea lion carcasses. They also go for racoons, small deer and injured black bears or cubs. Another April dispatch to Parks Canada involved a wolf walking by a visitor in the PRNPR without any fear. Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation also posted a bulletin on their community board on May 2 asking residents of Esowista and Ty-Histanis to walk in groups or pairs while being careful and diligent, particularly at sunset and night. A pair of wolves were regularly sighted in the communities, which are located just north of Long Beach. How to reduce human-wolf conflicts 'Put your dog on-leash. That's a big one. A dog on-leash is way safer,' says Bruhwiler. 'I've seen big dogs killed here by wolf. I've seen dead dogs. We don't want to go back there. This is what we are trying to avoid.' Managing all attractants like putting food away before going out for a surf and not going up to the animal to take photos will also help keep the 'wild in wildlife', notes Bruhwiler. 'Let's say a wolf is on the beach and around, the best thing we can do is make it obvious that we don't want it nearby. Make noise, group together. Exactly like seeing a black bear. If the wolf is there and doesn't want to leave then we leave,' he said. Parks Canada works in collaboration with Tla-o-qui-aht and Ucluelet First Nation to monitor the wolf activity in the region. 'We have a lot of strong teachings from wolves in Nuu-chah-nulth cultures across many nations and families,' said Tla-o-qui-aht Tribal Parks Guardian Gisele Martin. 'A lot of teachings have to do with respecting natural law, with upholding traditional ecological roles or about doing the things that need to be done to make things right in this world, is associated with wolves.' She explained that it is against Nuu-chah-nulth traditional law to harm or disturb wolves. 'It's also part of our culture to give wolves right of way because they are so integral in maintaining the balance of life in nature. They have the same role in ocean as orca whales,' said Martin. 'If you encounter a wolf, back up. Give them the right of way. Don't be wolf paparazzi.' Martin shared that the 'qʷa' in the Nuu-chah-nulth word qʷayac̓iik (wolf) is seen in other words or phrases that translate to 'be good like that', 'things that we need to do to make things right in the world' and 'bow of the canoe'. 'The bow of the canoe, that's what gives us direction and is shaped like the head of a wolf,' said Martin. In June 2024, the ʔapsčiik t̓ašii Trail (pronounced ups-cheek ta-shee) multi-use pathway that connects Ucluelet to Tofino was officially opened, creating an influx of cyclists through the Pacific Rim corridor. The paved pathway is roughly 40-kilometres long and weaves through the traditional territories of the Tla-o-qui-aht and Yuułuʔiłʔat as well as the shoreline in the Long Beach Unit of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. 'The trail definitely has an impact on the land and the place,' said Martin. 'The Banana slugs who cross it, they have important duties to do in the forest. It's just not the wolves; it's everybody that lives there. It's something to be mindful of.' On May 7, a deceased juvenile gray whale washed up on Long Beach and is still on the landscape, but the carcass is not 'readily available to wolves', according to Bruhwiler. 'With the whale that washed in, we did not have any wolf interactions at that time. They are their own little minds and maybe they had other things on the go,' he said, adding that sea wolves are incredible swimmers and could travel from Long Beach to the Broken Group Islands in days. Martin encouraged people to familiarize themselves with the ʔiisaak (ii-saak) Pledge , which outlines respectful behaviours and practices that can be used as guidance on how to relate to wolves and wolf habitat. 'Every plant and animal, living being, every insect, has something important that they contribute to the community of life. Wolves are really integral to that whole process,' Martin said. If you see or encounter a wolf in the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve, report it Parks Canada dispatch at: 1-877-852-3100. -30- Captions A remote Parks Canada wildlife camera captured this image of a wolf or qʷayac̓iik (pronounced qwa-ya-tseek) near Long Beach, B.C. on Vancouver Island in 2020.

15 'Ew...That Gave Me The Ick" Relationship Red Flags That Are Secretly Huge Green Flags

Red flag this, green flag that. When dating, people have so many characteristics they look for in a partner. Or more truthfully, traits they try to avoid. Sometimes, though, one person's red flag is another person's green flag. We asked the BuzzFeed Community for examples of things that, when dating, some might see as a reason for pause, but they see as a good thing. The responses were fascinating: Responses have been edited for length and clarity. 1."Not having social media. I have heard (and read on BuzzFeed) that 'not having any social media is a huge red flag for me.' WHY?! HOW?! So you're upset that you don't have to police their Instagram, Facebook/Messenger, TikTok, Snapchat, etc? My partner of six years only has Snapchat and literally has like 25 friends. They are 99% friends I have met, have mutual friends with, or are his family. It's a HUGE green flag that they don't give a crap about social media and what others think about his life/our life. It's OUR life, so why should anyone expect to see into it if you're not invited? I have social media only because it's how I communicate with family. He has full access, and I have full access to his phone, etc. Why? Because we trust each other. It's so nice having a partner who doesn't give a fuck about what others think of him as much as I don't give a fuck. If you think it's a red flag, you need to ask yourself why." —Anonymous, 36; Tennessee 2."Having a quirky or weird interest. That does not automatically make someone a weirdo or obsessive. For example, my husband has ADHD and tends to get very interested in a hobby or topic quickly and loves to geek out about it. Some of his interests are kind of out there. For example, he's 27 and LOVES Disney (especially the parks and movies), LOVES gardening, LOVES caring for our bearded dragon, LOVES working on his tank, and LOVES improving his life quality. A lot of other girls in college thought he was weird for his niche and intense interests, especially because he can be kind of shy and quiet. I was the only girl who gave him a chance. And I won the jackpot! He's caring, romantic, respects me, takes great care of me and our home, and he's wicked smart. Sure, he's quirky. Sure, he doesn't have typical 'masculine' hobbies. But he's a great guy, and I wish more people saw more for him than his quirks." —Anonymous, 25; Virginia 3."Not doing surprise gifts, dates, etc. Spontaneity and big gestures are highly romanticized, but they can often set both parties up for disappointment or unrealistic expectations. Communicating and involving your partner instead is a green flag for me. My partner and I like to discuss and plan fun ideas together. We go shopping for gifts together as well, so we get to pick out exactly what we like. It's so much more fun, and there is less pressure to like a gift or hope they like a gift. (And wastes less money)." —Anonymous, 30; Canada 4."Inserting himself into my college life. We currently go to different colleges, but he makes the effort to see me at my college because he wants to get to know my friends and new interests I've picked up. It's so, when I talk, he knows how to contribute to our conversations in a way that he understands what and who I'm talking about. Some people may see it as signs of insecurity or jealousy, but he truly wants to see the way I've been growing as a person now that I'm in college." —Anonymous, 18; New York 5."Online gaming. I've dated a couple of people I've met through online gaming. I know people tend to think that's a bad thing (to game a lot), but it requires communication and planning skills, especially when their gaming group includes people around the world." —Anonymous, 39; Phoenix, AZ 6."Not being close to their parents. It's great if your family is close. It's also absolutely okay if it's complicated, but sometimes it is better to cut ties with abusers or toxic people. I think it can be healthy to be no or low-contact, and it can protect partners and future children. It takes a lot of strength to break cycles." —Anonymous, 32; California 7."It's not toxic to have never dated someone before. Like, they're waiting for the truly right person to date." —Anonymous, 20; South Carolina 8."When people always respond with 'What do YOU want to do?' People find it weirdly annoying, but I think it just means they care about how you feel. I don't like it when people are like, 'What do you want to do?' 'Oh, I was thinking ice skating, then lunch at this restaurant, then a museum…' That just feels like they've been creepily putting this whole date together for months. No, thank you." —Anonymous 9."Not responding to texts quickly. My bf was sooooo slow to respond to texts when we first exchanged numbers. I thought he wasn't interested, but it turned out that he was not a very tech-savvy guy and had no interest in his phone. This makes dates great as we can converse for hours on end and away from screens. Our interactions are always genuine, and he's so thoughtful!" —Anonymous, 16; Oklahoma 10."Having girl friends as a man. It's not a red flag. It actually tells me women feel safe around you, and you can build a relationship with a woman other than a romantic one. So that means you don't see women only as objects for your pleasure. You actually see them as human beings you can interact with just like you do with other men." —Anonymous, 22; Romania 11."Not telling someone their WHOLE life story. The older I get, there are things people keep to themselves for a reason. Doesn't mean they don't trust you or you can't trust them. If it's significant enough, it will reveal itself. I am not going to force someone I am with to tell me everything if they're not comfortable doing so. That being said, if you don't communicate what is important to you for them to share about themselves, that is all on you." —witchysorcerer621 12."Not being a self-proclaimed nice guy. This might be specific to my relationship, but he straight up told me he was 'kind of an a**hole' on our first date and said he wasn't good with emotions. It was refreshing as hell, coming from seemingly endless dates with self-professed 'nice guys' who were anything but. Turns out he's not an asshole at all, and he's pretty damn good with emotions now. That first date was 15 years ago." —rakishrogue 13."A guy cooking, cleaning, and being able to do stereotypically 'female' stuff." —Anonymous, Maddi, USA 26 14."Being upfront about dating other people. It might seem like a red flag at first, but it's actually a green one. Honesty about where you stand shows emotional maturity and respect. It also sets the stage for clear communication when the time comes to discuss exclusivity — if and when both people are ready for that step." —Anonymous, 37; Mexico "On a blind or first date: I am totally OJ with small talk. People have all sorts of different levels and experiences when it comes to meeting with a person for the first time. Being nervous is OK, and not knowing what to say is OK." —sparklysalt40 Have examples of your own where a perceived red flag is actually a green flag?
