39 Amazon Cleaning Items Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A jug of Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner you can use to remove all the mysterious buildup on the floor and walls of your shower. Best of all, there's no scrubbing required! You can literally spray it, forget about it, and the grime will begin to erode and disappear down your drain.
Promising review: "Photos don't lie! This stuff works! We have used just about every product available — we steamed, scrubbed, scraped, and power-washed our shower walls. None worked. Bought this cleaner on a whim, and after the first night of spraying just one wall, I bought two more bottles. The buildup just peels off the walls. At first, I was embarrassed to post pictures, but I had to share how well this cleaner works." —Mary ElizabethPrice: $19.98+ (available in two sizes and two scents)
A portable Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner that'll leave you nothing short of *shocked* when it magically restores your dirty, paw print-covered furniture and carpeting right before your eyes. 😲
Promising review: "I bought this to clean my upholstery in my home. We have dogs who rub up against our couches and toddlers who spill A LOT, so things can get quite messy. This little machine is perfect to clean up spills or just keep our furniture looking brand spanking new. I could not believe how amazing everything looked after using this, and how disgusting the dirty tank was after I used it. This machine is super simple to use, easy to store, and lightweight enough to easily move from place to place. I love this thing." —Marina $96.99
Bissell Stomp & Go Cleaning Pads are equally effective at removing pet hair and stains from your carpet, as they are a cathartic activity. All you have to do is lay these little sheets on your carpet and stomp your heart out to release the cleaning formula. I literally can't think of anything more therapeutic than stomping on the floor while ALSO restoring my carpet to its original hue...
Promising review: "These things saved me from replacing my entire upstairs carpet! We had already replaced one section before finding these and were worried we'd have to replace another section at a cost of $3,000. Stomp and leave it for 24 hours and I was amazed to see my carpet was its original light cream color. I now stock a box of these and have told every one of my pet-owning friends about them. I'll never spend hours scrubbing the floor or carpet shampooing again!" —findingk8Price: $27.48
A pet hair remover to keep your furniture clean and clear of all the unwanted fur that's been building up for weeks. (OK, months? YEARS??)
Promising review: "We live in a household that contains two humans, two dogs, and two cats. It's a real Noah's Ark furnished with a black sectional couch. Our dogs absolutely hate the vacuum. So much so they will attack the cleaner head with their vicious bite even before we power it on. This makes the task of cleaning our couch extremely unpleasant and nearly impossible. Thanks to Chom Chom, we no longer have this problem! With a simple, quick, SOUNDLESS sweep, we're able to keep our couch pet-hair-free in blissful peace. This tool does an amazing job picking up pet hair but not so much with crumbs. We were so impressed, we gifted these for all of our pet-loving friends." —AnonMPrice: $24.99+ (available in two colors)
A screen-cleaning brush that'll help you finally deal with all the dust, pollen, and mystery grime clinging to your window and door screens. You don't even have to pop the screen out — just swipe this double-sided brush over it and feel wildly accomplished in under two minutes.
A Chomp! oil stain remover designed to yank stubborn grease and motor oil right out of your driveway or garage floor. Just pour it on, let that chalk‑like paste dry, then sweep or scrub it away (so you don't have to stare at mysterious dark spots every time you pull in the car).
Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —SusanPrice: $17.97+ (available in two sizes)
A Windex outdoor glass cleaner that hooks straight onto your garden hose, making it ridiculously easy to wash away caked-on dirt, pollen, and patio grime from windows, doors, brick, and even your outdoor furniture. You just set it to 'clean,' spray until the suds foam, rinse, and step back, and voila!
A Shark Steam Scrubber designed with special rotating pads and targeted steam power to tackle stuck-on stains on sealed floors (without breaking your back). With three steam modes and LED headlights to spotlight hidden grime, it basically turns you into a floor-cleaning cyborg (but like, a chic one).
Promising review: "I was skeptical but am very satisfied! I have one dog & one cat, which = plenty of hair. After vacuuming my vinyl floor, I used this on the medium steam setting. It gets the hair you miss and the sandy grit that's hard to get up in Florida. SUPER easy to take apart to clean, and extra-long cord for covering more distance. A++" —StacyPrice: $127+ (available in four styles)
A stain-blasting Wet & Forget exterior spray ready to zap green and black stains from your patio, furniture, or stone steps — no scrubbing or rinsing needed. Just spray it on, walk away, and let wind and rain work their magic. Most stains fade in weeks, heavy-duty ones might take months, and your surfaces can stay clean for over a year.
Bioclean, a hard water stain remover made for blasting away years of mineral buildup on shower doors, glass, taps, and even stainless steel with a single scrub. Just scoop the mint‑scented cream onto a cloth or pad, rub firmly, rinse, and watch spots vanish. It's eco‑friendly, biodegradable, and tough enough for pros like yourself.
A tub of TikTok-famous The Pink Stuff — a vegan, all-purpose cleaning paste that'll magically remove anything from everything, such as the grease on your stovetop or the burnt bits stuck to a frying pan.
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." —Nancy $5.97
A pack of carborundum sponges made to erase stuck-on gunk from pots, pans, sinks — even BBQ grates — just by adding water. Ditch the smelly scrubbers and feel like a kitchen pro as they buff away grime *without* scratching surfaces.
A broom specifically for pet hair that'll have you quite literally *raking* out all the dog and/or cat hair that's interwoven itself with your carpet and rugs. I have never been so impressed yet disgusted at the same time.
A Baseboard Buddy built to help you strip away scuffs, dust, and caked-on crumbs from your baseboards, moldings, and trim without bending like a pretzel or getting on your hands and knees. You slip the ergonomic scraper in, sweep sideways, and watch as crisp, clean lines emerge along every wall in your house.
A pack of duster sponges here to help you tackle dust, hair, and grime from blinds, vents, baseboards — even faucets — with just water (or a drop of soap if you're feeling fancy). Their U-shaped groove and semi-circle shape slip into tight spots, making quick work of the "nooks and crannies" corners that usually ignore your cloth.
A bottle of Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray that'll rescue you from toddler blowout stains, epic coffee splashes, and more. Just mist it on, blot, and rinse. Thanks to its Safer‑Choice formula, most blemishes disappear fast (and it being non‑toxic is a nice bonus).
A six-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.
Promising review: "I have ordered this product before and really like it. I have an older washing machine, and when the water starts to smell a little funky, I will throw one of these in the wash on its own, and it helps to keep things fresh. I have even used this on my parents' and in-laws' machines, and it has done a good job in keeping all three smelling good. They are very easy to use; it's basically a tablet that you can throw into the washing machine. Like I mentioned, I will throw it in on its own and let my machine do a full cycle, and that seems to help get things cleaned up." —ArielPrice: $11.98
Hope's Perfect Sink solution that restores the gleam to your stainless‑steel, porcelain, composite, or Corian sinks and leaves an invisible water‑repellant barrier so future messes bead away. You spread the creamy polish, rinse, then marvel as your sink looks brand‑new (and stays that way for days).
An electric spin scrubber guaranteed to tackle grimy grout, tub slime, and shower mildew with zero back-breaking bending. You adjust its long detachable handle, pick from eight brush heads and three speeds, then let the scrubber do the work — 90 minutes of runtime means you can practically deep-clean every corner in one charge. Users rave it's a 'game-changer,' especially for those with knee pain or arthritis.

A pack of reusable Swiffer mop pads designed to fit your Swiffer Sweeper or Wet Jet so you can ditch the single-use pads and mop smarter. They grip pet hair, dust, and spills with built-in looped fibers, absorb more water, and are machine washable. (Plus they're eco‑ and wallet-friendly!)
A Glisten garbage disposer cleaner to scrub away tough grunge and odor-causing buildup from sidewalls and blades and under the splash guard with its oh-so-satisfying foaming formula.
Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KSPrice: $3.67+ for a four-pack (available in three sizes)
A dryer-lint brush, because even though YOU clean out the lint trap *every* time, it doesn't mean your roommates do. There's likely SO much more hiding in your dryer gap and exhaust port. This tool makes it easy to get all that yuckiness out and will leave you feeling like your clothes are extra clean the next time you dry a load.
Promising review: "Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, reduce fire hazards, and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." —Winged WolfPrice: $6.99
A pack of Keurig cleaning cups — despite all the deliciousness that comes out of that glorious machine, there's likely a lot of grime and gunk hiding on the inside that has no business being in your morning coffee.
Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues, and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out, and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results. VERY HAPPY!" —Corey WestPrice: $9.95
A stainless steel cleaner to instantly wipe away those mysterious streaks and smudges that somehow always appear on your fridge, oven, and sink.
It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Promising review: "I switched to this product because the stainless steel cleaner I had been using was no longer available, and this one had great reviews. It deserves every one of them. Easy to use and leaves no streaks. If a touch-up is needed at some point, that spot will blend in with the rest of the appliance; no need to do the whole dang thing again. Highly recommended; in fact, even if the last product I used became available again, I would stick with this one." —BethesdaPrice: $19.95
A handheld steam cleaner ready to steam away grime in tight spots with zero chemicals. It heats up in just 3–5 minutes, shoots 230 degrees of pressurized steam through 10 different attachment options, and tackles everything from grout and grease to upholstery and pet beds — all while you stay upright and chemical-free.
A Rubbermaid power scrubber that took a page out of your electric toothbrush's playbook to help you clean tile grout and other hard-to-reach areas of your home.
Promising review: "My wrist says thank you! This works amazingly well! I do professional house cleaning for a living, and this is a game changer! Just look at what the power scrubber with a little baking soda, dish soap, and vinegar can do! Powerful combo!" —Nicole FosterPrice: $23.29
A set of drill brushes for anyone who's seriously looking to kick their cleaning game up a notch. They're great for cleaning things like tile, grout, door tracks, and tops?!
OK, so the drill is NOT included. This is just a set of three brushes that attach to your drill, or this one you might wanna buy. Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51, and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so I was hand-scrubbing it for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower cleaner than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —TerryPrice: $18.95+ (available in six colors)
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.
Promising review: "I love this mop set. It is very easy to handle. The container has a water chamber and a draining chamber. It makes my job easy. It is much better than my old mop. The handle, you can make it longer or shorter. It helps me to clean each corner. As you can shorten the handle, you don't need much space to store it after use. Even my daughter helps me to clean the floor. They love to drain the mop by pumping the pedal. It's fun for my kids, too, so it's a great buy. You can change the mop head when it gets very messy." —NinaPrice: $34.99
A tub o' heavy-duty cleaning wipes formulated with aloe vera and vitamin E to be easy on your hands and tough on stains. Better yet, they're safe to use on just about any surface. Maybe buy one of these for each roommate and stick a bow on it??
These wipes are nonabrasive, so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car review: "I think these wipes are made out of magic because they can clean just about anything with very little effort! One wipe cleaned my ENTIRE BATHTUB, including the hard-water buildup and some residual soap scum. The wipe stayed wet for the entire use, and there was absolutely no sweating involved. I hate cleaning, but I was so pumped about the tub, I took wipe number two to my hood vent, and good golly, it's like it's brand-new. I've told everyone I know to buy these." —JenMPrice: $16.28
A pumice cleaning stone you can use to remove those pesky rings or hard water stains from your toilet. When you've tried everything and nothing else seems to work, this thing might just do the trick.
Promising review: "Our kids' bathroom toilet had nasty stains from hard water buildup, and none of the bathroom cleaning products worked, nor did scrubbing with bathroom-specific 'wands.' We were about to resort to replacing the whole toilet until I found out about this pumice stone online. Took a chance and with a light scrubbing for about 15 min, the toilet looks brand new again! I am so glad I found this magic stone." —RiaRinaPrice: $14.99
A Eufy robot vacuum straight from the year 3000. This thing glides under furniture to quietly suck up dust, pet hair, and daily debris, alllllllll without you so much as lifting a finger. You press one button on the remote, and it runs up to 100 minutes, self-recharges, and adapts the suction level from hard floors to medium-pile carpets with its BoostIQ.
A bottle of Puracy Natural Laundry Stain Remover that's, ahem: vegan, gluten free, hypoallergenic, nonbleaching, biodegradable, and certified cruelty-free — AND works THIS well?! I mean, talk about a no-brainer. Goodbye, stained laundry!
Promising review: "If I could give this more stars, I would! One of the best stain removers I've found. I have a toddler and a mechanic for a husband, and it takes care of all of their messes!" —TessaPrice: $16.99
A Car Guys Super Cleaner you can use to revive every inch of your car — leather seats, fabric, vinyl, even dashboard trim — without leaving sticky residue behind. You just shake, mist it onto a microfiber cloth, wipe, and watch the grime vanish. It's like an instant interior makeover to keep your ride lookin' fresh off the lot.
And a portable car vacuum cleaner to help you stay on top of things when it comes to cleaning your vehicle. It's fully equipped with a 16-foot-long cable that plugs right into your car's lighter port — how easy is that!?
Promising review: "This thing is awesome! I own a 2018 Dodge Durango that sadly does not have leather seats. I own three dogs, and it is just a nightmare pulling out my extension cord to vacuum my truck. I can now just plug this little guy into my 12-volt car outlet and I'm good to go! The power in this vacuum is as good as it's going to get for a car vacuum, so if you want extreme suction, then buy a shop vac. Also, the attachments are fantastic." —SallyPrice: $22.49
A jetted tub cleaner because you have no idea what's hiding in those jets of yours. Better to just do the dirty work now, rather than find some unwanted surprises the next time you're trying to take a relaxing evening bath.
Promising review: "Love this stuff. I was skeptical at first. I am a huge germaphobe and this worked well enough for me to actually take a bath at my new place with the jets on!" —AnnPrice: $18.37+ (available in two sizes)
A broom and dustpan set that, dare I say, might actually make sweeping feel almost FUN?? You stand straight, sweep debris into the pan, and glide the broom through the built‑in comb to strip off dust, pet hair, and fuzz. Bonus: it clips upright for neat storage, and the telescoping handle adjusts to your height so no more hunching over!!
Promising review: "Makes clean up a breeze! Very heavy duty, got this after having lots of cheap dust pans break all the time. This one is self-standing, which is very nice; it doesn't tip over like cheap dust pans. Heavy duty, good broom and dust pan!" —karriejanePrice: $25.99+ (available in six colors)
