If You Get Slightly Obsessive When Cleaning, These 32 Products Will Give You Thorough, Immediate Results
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. Shopping · Scratch that "I have to get every little speck" itch, and quickly. 1. A pressure washer — it's extremely satisfying to spend an afternoon blasting off years of built-up gunk from your windows, deck, fence, and concrete. This one's electric, so you simply plug in its 35-foot cord and go, no hassling with gasoline or its nasty fumes. Promising review:"This has been a great addition to our cleaning regime. We wash cars, sidewalks, and backyard pool areas. Today I am cleaning my outdoor BBQ and can't wait to get started. It is easy to use and set up and cleans everything easily. The canister is easy to pull around and never tips over due to its unique wheel design. I highly recommend this product." — Caroline Leary Get it from Amazon for $124.56. 2. Some under-$7/bottle(!!) Purple Power Industrial Strength Degreaser because when you need to tackle a super big, tough cleaning job — like blasting through disgusting road grease on your car wheels or the thick oily buildup on your kitchen exhaust fan's filter — you want something that requires basically no scrubbing. Dilute it according to the instructions, apply to your surface, and wait for your jaw to drop. While it's excellent for the heavy duty problems, it is a tad harsh, so always test in a hidden area before using it on painted surfaces or fabrics. Promising review: "This stuff is like magic. I had used another brand always before, and ended up trying this one out. I used to have to scrub with a metal brush. This seems to melt the oil stain off the driveway and I have to scrub way less. It doesn't leave any residue after washing off with water." — Clay H. Pinkerton Get a gallon of concentrate from Amazon for $6.97. Also available in an already-diluted spray bottle for $6.49. 3. A fur (and faux-fur) de-matting brush to rewind the clock on that matted, tangled, dirty fuzz on your favorite throw, pillow, chair, Ugg boots, or teddy bear coat so it once more looks exactly like the day you got it. That stuff can be $$$$, so it's worth it to take care of it. Hey Parents: This will bring well-loved stuffed animals back to soft touchable life! Promising review: "I got an expensive sheep hair chair from CB2. I thought I could just vacuum it but it wasn't removing the dust/dirt/lint bits and the seat was matting after six months of daily use. This cleaned and smoothed it out well. I got the suggestion from professional furniture restorers. It WILL remove some hairs, particularly if matted, but the hairs are often loose anyway. All dust/dirt/lint bits combed right out and it looks new again." — SH Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 4. An electric spin scrubber that scours on its own, so all you have to do is give it some soap to work with. Extendable handle to reach high and help prevent back pain from bending over? Check. Three speeds? Check. Rechargeable 90-minute battery life? Check. Four brush attachments and four scrubber attachments to tackle any task? Check. You also get a mesh bag for all those brushes and a hook for storing the scrubber. A little screen shows you the speed and battery percentage! Promising review: "This electric spin scrubber has completely transformed my cleaning routine! The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the three adjustable speeds provide the perfect amount of power for different surfaces. I love the eight replaceable brush heads — there's a perfect one for every cleaning task, from the shower to kitchen tiles. The adjustable long handle is a game-changer for reaching high or low spots without straining my back. It's durable, easy to use, and makes deep cleaning effortless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and effort on household chores!" — ~Eddie~ Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors). 5. A bottle of food-grade mineral oil so after you give your much-beloved wood cutting boards and kitchen tools a regular wash with soap, you can finish the job and restore them to their original rich luster too. Wipe it on, and ta-da! What a difference. Promising reviews: "Best ever! Saw this in a BuzzFeed article and decided to give it a try and I do not regret it. My board looks beautiful, and my knives and scissors are back to their original condition." — ares "We've been using Thirteen Chefs Mineral Oil on all our hardwood cutting boards, and it's been fantastic! It keeps the wood nourished, prevents it from drying out, and gives the boards a beautiful, smooth finish. It's easy to apply and doesn't leave any greasy residue. This mineral oil has become a must-have for maintaining our kitchen tools!" — Perfect Cents Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 6. A shoe cleaner literally called Pink Miracle since that's just how well it works! If your spring shoes from 2024 are covered in dirt but otherwise still have hundreds of wears in them, skip spending $$$ on new shoes. Instead, make last year's look brand-new again in just five minutes with this stuff. It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes). 7. An under-$5 window track cleaning brush specifically designed for getting deep down in those gross crevices thanks to narrow bristles on one end, an easy-hold middle handle, and a narrow scraper on the other end. Pair with your favorite all-purpose cleaner and some paper towels to wipe, and in less than five minutes, say "bye" to the eyesore! Promising review: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." — Bonzarelli Get a pack of two from Amazon for $4.99 (available in 5 color combos). 8. A rechargeable air blaster so you can clear the thick layer of dust, dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from all those finnicky little buttons in your car's dash with a couple of quick button presses. It's better than putty or slime because air leaves no residue and it's better than canned air because it's reusable! It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home INVEST IN THIS!!" — S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 9. An almond-scented wood polish and cleaner to both bust through the layers of dirt and hard water buildup on your most-used kitchen cabinets and condition the wood and finish so they gleam in one fell swoop. *mic drop* Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:"I didn't realize how 'thirsty' my furniture was until I used this product. It made my dining table look great (and it is 20-years-old and used daily). Also, it applies easily and doesn't leave streaks. Highly recommend!" — Keri Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 10. A vinyl record cleaning kit — sure it's niche, but if you have a collection you use regularly, you know how dust can buildup on them and affect the audio quality. And if you're somewhat obsessive about cleaning, you're gonna want this specialty brush kit so your records, needle, and turntable all come out spick-and-span. The kit includes the pictured velvet record brush, a spray bottle of record cleaner, a stylus brush for the needle, and a small bristled cleaning brush for cleaning the dust off the velvet brush. Promising review: "I bought this kit immediately after getting some vinyls and a record player. I'm so impressed with how well it cleans! I should've taken pictures of what came off of the visibly dirty vinyls (a LOT of dust and a bit of cat hair). While you can make it harder for yourself and clean it on a flat surface, you can simply put your record on the player and hold the brush in one place! It's so quick and works so well!! This was the help my vinyls so desperately needed to boost their audio quality!" — Susie W Get it from Amazon for $21.99. 11. A solvent-based cleaner for any upholstery or fabric you have that has an "S" on its cleaning tag: "W" means you should use a water-based cleaner, so "S" means solvent cleaners are best! Quit staring despairingly at that pink strawberry milk stain that's graced your heirloom chair for over a year this to make it disappear like *abracadabra*. Any marked with a "W/S" means you can use either, of course. Promising review:"Extremely effective. I own a furniture store. We purposely spread some butter, french fry grease, and pomegranate juice on a Clean Code "S" fabric swatch, and let it sit for a day. Then we put on gloves, put some fluid on a small part of a rag, dabbed at the spill (didn't rub into it), which disintegrated the spill. Did this a few times, and lightly scraped sideways over the spill. You can't even see where the spills were. We keep this swatch on our desk when we write up our sales orders. Every one of our customers who buys a fabric sofa or chair, that has code S fabric, buys one of these or else we include it for free. I ordered a case for our stock." — J. Rasmussen Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.50. 12. Some silver polishing wipes if that's the majority of your jewelry collection, or you have some silver candlesticks, your grandmother's silver pitcher, or other antique or shiny valuables you want to revive. Simply rub one of these in circles to watch the tarnish disappear like whoa. It's safe to use on silver, gold, brass, and silver-plated metals like aluminum! Promising review: "Before, my jewelry was so dusty and crusty that my jewelry box was like a doom box where rings and necklaces went to die. It was SO satisfying to do. I recommend wearing gloves, though. I was so excited to try the wipes that I went at it bare-handed, and after one necklace, my fingers were uncomfortably dry. Slid on some gloves, and the rest was a breeze. 10/10 recommend." — Sarah Get a pack of 20 wipes from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a 40-pack). 13. An extra large MagicFiber microfiber cleaning cloth that's exactly like the tiny cleaning cloths that come with your laptop and phone, except HUGE. I'm talking 16 x 16 inches. It'll literally make fingerprints, smears, and dirt on your treasured TV vanish immediately, so you won't spend ten minutes looking at the screen from every possible angle to ensure no gunk remains. A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane Get a three pack from Amazon for $14.99. 14. A set of reusable, extra-thick microfiber mop pads for nabbing entire neighborhoods of dust bunnies in a single swipe when used dry, and wiping up dried mud, pasta sauce, or whatever everyday gunk's gracing your wood, tile, and other hard floors when used wet. Designed to fit snugly on your Swiffer and wash effortlessly in the laundry, you'll cut down on single-use pad waste, especially if you dust-mop daily. You'll cut down on single-use pad waste while making everyday cleaning about ten billion times easier. Promising review: "A truly great eco-friendly cleaning product! These clean like magic! So much better than the wasteful disposables. Another plus: they clean with just water so no unpleasant artificial cleaning smell." — Sarah D Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.49. 15. Some Goo Gone because it gives you the power at your fingertips to quickly and painlessly remove mysterious sticky substances, pretty much wherever you find them. Duct tape gunk on the wall? So long. Sticker muck on your car or fridge or floor? Farewell. Cooked on grease at the bottom of a skillet? Auf wiedersehen. Chewed bubblegum on your couch cushion? Goodnight (to the stain). I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I had previously bought some other adhesive remover which was so pungent. This stuff worked better than that at removing adhesive residue. The residue came off effortlessly by wiping with a cloth wetted with the fluid. AND: no discernible smell whatsoever. Just MAGIC." — AH Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.97 (they also make a spray-on version for $19.98). 16. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets featuring citric acid to dissolve that gray-looking mineral buildup, wash away lingering grease, and leave behind nothing but a lovely lemony scent and shiny, new-looking stainless steel. Close the dishwasher door, run a cycle with a tablet, and voila! Use one monthly to maintain the shine and avoid future buildup! Promising reviews: "Finally bought these after struggling with a very smelly dishwasher. I followed the instructions and on the first round put 2 tablets in and WOW no more smell. And not only did it work immediately but now I've gone weeks with no return of the smell either! Can't recommend enough." — Madison Bean "I thought our dishwasher was just old and didn't clean well due to the hard water. But, when I gave these a try, I immediately had clean dishes without spots." — Rebecca Park Totilo Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $18.95. 17. A handheld steam cleaner that's the closest you can get to pointing to an object, exclaiming "clean thyself!" and watching the grime dissipate before your very eyes. Why? It does the job with JUST WATER, no solvents or surfactants. Sure, it may take a little more effort than using the nonwater chemicals, but if those irritate you, go with this for impressive results. Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily. Plus, no chemicals needed, which I really like. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 18. A leather stain remover spray because even though leather's usually relatively stain resistant, years with kids, pets, spouses, or just our own messy selves eventually take their toll on car leather, leather furniture, and even leather purses. Nab this to zap away all those marker drawings, queso drip remnants, and built-up skin oils with a simple spritz and wipe. This also works on durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux and other leather or leather-like surfaces. Promising reviews:"Was skeptical using this product on my favorite Celine bag, so I tested it out on a stain on the bottom of my bag just in case something bad happened. It quickly removed that stain and I continued to use the spray on a stain I got from my black jeans. Like magic the stain was gone and my bag has been restored! Would definitely recommend!" — Sarah P. Get it and a microfiber cloth from Amazon for $19.98. 19. A tub of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste so you can instantly shine or de-gunk dozens of different surfaces without having to scrub for hours *or* worry about scratching your chrome, marble, porcelain, wood, glass shower door or stove top, or stainless steel. No need to go over the same spot again and again and again when this gets it the first time! Promising reviews:"I have very hard water in my apartment and the hard water stains and soap scum are so hard to clean in my bathroom. I've used Magic Erasers, several different types of soap scum cleaners, industrial bleach, etc. The instant I rubbed the pink stuff on the hard water stains in my tub, they came off immediately with hardly any elbow grease. It barely took any effort and soap scum and hard water stains just rubbed away instantly. I highly recommend it!!" — Seven " I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT that good. It's better than good. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 20. A soft cleanser that, with very little effort on your part, will banish years of built-up hard water stains on tile or glass, truly transforming your shower right before your eyes and satisfying your deep need to quickly but thoroughly melt away every last little calcium stain. Promising review:"This cleaner works magic on our glass shower doors! Removes stubborn hard water stains like no other cleaner. I just rubbed it on with a damp sponge, let it sit a few minutes then rinsed with the shower head. I must say the price is a little inflated here but I'm just happy the product works as great as it does!" — FitDaddy Get two bottles from Amazon for $13. 21. A Baseboard Buddy — it's designed specifically to pick up all the grime from the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies like baseboards, moldings, and grates in one quick wipe, zero bending over or crawling on your hands and knees required. Satisfy your week-long baseboard botheration: simply walk around your house holding this next to you, and *poof*! Dust is gone! It includes three washable, reusable pads that you can use wet or dry. One reviewer who's over 65 swears by it because it's so difficult for them to get up and down! Promising reviews: "Works like magic. Finally I don't have to crawl around the floor to clean the baseboards." — Kelly tomolonis "Easy to use and care for! By far the best investment I've made as a professional cleaner. No more needing to bend over and hurt my back and knees! Washing the cleaning pads is also super easy and convenient!" — Y&M Rico Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 22. A tub of 90 oversize heavy-duty cleaning wipes perfect for tough jobs big and small. You know that grease and dust wasteland on the stove hood? This reviewer says these wiped that off "like it was nothing." And this reviewer says it "removed a level of grime that looked like had been there for years" on their outdoor table that had been hosed down already. It only takes a few swipes to remove grease, oil, tar, ink, paint, permanent marker, food stains, and so much more from all kinds of surfaces like fabric, carpet, leather, and painted walls. Promising review:"Magical. Look no further. These wipes got — no joke — 50 year-old tape goop off of the walls in our home's laundry room. I have a wall in my kitchen that my big dog likes to lay against and I have never been able to get it 100% clean. These wipes made it look like I put a fresh coat of paint on the wall. Get these for anything you need to clean that you thought was hopeless. You won't regret it!" — Joy Get a tub from Amazon for $14.98. 23. A pumice stone to vanquish those built-up hard water stains without using up all your spare energy for the day. If your toilets look like the one below, this should 1,000% become a staple in your cleaning routine. Bleach and other typical cleaners won't make a dent on the dried minerals, but this will! Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time which regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. Pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching. Am very happy with this worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree Get one from Amazon for $12.99. 24. A bottle of EcoTools makeup brush and sponge shampoo to vanish all the embedded layers of foundation, contour, concealer, powder, and eye makeup on your favorite applicator like it was never there. When the rest of the bathroom sparkles, you gotta get your makeup brushes sparkling, too. And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time. (Oh, and it's cruelty-free.) Promising review:"Cleans like magic. My mind is blown at well this soap works. I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough but could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I'm a convert." — ss3745 Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 25. A squeegee broom so you can extract years' worth of built-up, embedded pet hair from your carpet and rugs like you're The Queen of Cleaning Fairies herself. Can you believe the German Shepard owner who took this pic uses a Dyson pet vac — and THAT is how much hair the broom got that the vacuum didn't?? One of our readers owns this and loves it so much they commented about it: "I bought the squeegee broom and it did wonders for getting hair (both mine and my cats) out of the carpet, carpet looks great now!" — socks1234, from this roundup of hall-of-fame products It features rubber bristles along one edge, and if you flip it, a wide rubber squeegee on the other — some reviewers find the squeegee side is more effective on carpet than the bristles, so could be worth a try! Oh, and the handle telescopes 36–60 inches, so you can store it easily but also like, use it to squeegee off high windows if necessary. Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in compact and heavy duty versions). 26. A pack of Bottle Bright fizzing cleaning tablets — you simply drop one into almost any seemingly permanently stained travel mug or stainless water bottle to banish built-up stains without scrubbing even one little bit. Yes, even the mug you've entrusted with your black coffee to for two years now and only really rinsed out with water the whole time. Promising reviews: "My Yeti tumblers are used for tea. Every day. I've been using them for years. And there is a disgusting build up that I can never scrub off, not even with a magic eraser (its tannins). These are magical little nuggets of cleaning. My Yeti that is 5+ years old and had 5+ years of tea tannins built up is now sparkling clean like it was brand new!! I put boiling hot water in each cup, dropped in the magical nugget, and let it sit over night. A good scrub and I could sell this as an unused Yeti tumbler!! Worth the money and time!!!" — B.J. Claywell Get a box of 12 tablets from Amazon for $8. 27. And a brush spinner so you can get every last bit of makeup out of even the dirtiest brushes AND dry 'em — all in less than a minute. It's so quick, easy, and thorough, it'll instantly please your desire for perfection. You charge up the wand with a USB, put your brush in the wand, and choose one of three different speeds to spin it clean in a pretty little glass bowl. Promising Reviews:"Love this thing! It is amazing and works just as described. It cleans AND dries brushes in seconds!! Dense brushes take a little longer to dry, you just have to let them spin a little longer but it's far better then the day to two drying time I used to deal with. I can use them again immediately after because the brushes are spun completely dry! I used to completely dread cleaning my brushes. Now it's so easy that I do it frequently. Totally worth the investment for someone who hates cleaning their brushes like I did. I've recommended it to others and they love it too!" — "This is such a gem. I found this via BuzzFeed and quickly ordered it. It's cleans and instantly dries your brushes. It doesn't get more convenient than this!!" — Najmah H Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 28. A window screen and screen door cleaning brush because it's designed with hundreds of tiny little brushes that scrub-a-dub into each and every of those million little holes, disappearing all the grime so fast and efficiently, you won't find dirt left behind when you carefully inspect. Amazon Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! and works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small motor home screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah where the red dirt/dust is everywhere and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen." — KarenLynn Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 29. A automatic scrubbing brush so you can just lazily move it back and forth over whatever stubborn, sticky, rubbed-in mess you're cleaning up this time while it scrubs up to *60 times each second* for you. It's like a giant electric toothbrush, but y'all, I own one, have used it consistently since 2018, and it REALLY works. You literally see the dirt come up and the grout lighten with just 30 seconds of use. Grout, tough mold, mystery sticky stuff, and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance. They make a specialty grout head you can buy for it, but TBH the default brush works just as well, unless you have incredibly narrow grout lines. Promising review:"One of my favorite products of the year. Strongly recommended. Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail. I tell you it's simple and works like magic and the grout in my 10-year-old bathroom tile floors has been restored to as new condition. I could not possibly recommend this thing more highly." — Mr. helper Get it from Amazon for $19.63. If you want even more info, check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber Review. 30. A microfiber duster to replace all other dusters in your life, because it attracts and holds onto dust like a *magnet* instead of brushing it into the air just to settle again later. Actually getting rid of the dust is THE key to a home that needs less dusting. Go ahead, dust every last little surface in your home, marveling at how it picks up every speck. This one from Oxo is very thin so it can squeeze into tight crevices. To clean it you just run it through a gentle cycle in the washer and air-dry. You can buy extra covers for $12.99 each and a long-handled version for $17.99. Promising reviews: "My housekeeper loves this for dusting. Easy to toss in the wash." — PT " I hate dusting. I normally would go through many paper towels or rags just to dust around the house. It was such a pain in the neck. After buying this, my dusting days have become much easier! I simply dust and then toss the microfiber part in the washer. It doesn't fall apart in the wash either. Works beautifully!" — PCamps Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 31. A stainless steel cleaner and polish that I suspect will work both *faster* and *better* than pretty much any other stainless steel cleaner you've tried — because it did for my mom AND the 13,000 other people who have left 5-star ratings. I used it myself to obsessively clean my stainless fridge yesterday, and it effortlessly erased finger prints, food drips, and a ton of stubborn mystery stuck-on black stuff from the last tenant. My mom tried like, three or four different stainless cleaners before I showed her this one, and y'all: she swears by it because it's easier and faster to use than the others, and makes all of her stainless appliances SO SHINY! Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:" Where this cleans just as well as others, it streaks less thus taking less time to use. It does smell good, but even better, it actually protects your appliances from getting fingerprints again so quickly! I have spent an hour cleaning all my appliances just to have prints again as soon as kids are home. This cleaner has kept my appliances smudge free for over a week! It's magical!" — JenniK Get a bottle and a streak-free cloth from Amazon for $19.95. 32. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, which you absolutely NEED if your cat, dog, or toddler causes 99% of your big problem SMELLY STAINS. Think pee, poop, and vomit funk specifically. Even if there's not a stain but there's still a lingering wet dog smell on your couch, this stuff will make it go *poof*. Angry Orange, a small biz started in 2014, makes all kinds of supplies to clean up after your pets! Promising reviews:"I decided to buy this product after reading the reviews. I bought it because we have four big, BIG, HAIRY dogs that think they are Chichuahuas and should be inside all the time, and I'm very self-conscious of their smell any time someone comes to our house. I vacuum everyday, and I use carpet deodorizers often, but still... there is always a faint dog "scent" that remains. Angry Orange smells very orangey (of course!) when you apply it, but the scent doesn't last long. When it fades, it takes with it the dog scent also. It doesn't mask it, like other products, it takes it away!!! I have a couple of family members that have very good noses and who are very vocal and opinionated, and even they said that they could not smell dogs after using this magical concoction." — Miriam B Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes).

If You Get Slightly Obsessive When Cleaning, These 33 Products Will Give You Thorough, Immediate Results
1. A pressure washer — it's extremely satisfying to spend an afternoon blasting off years of built-up gunk from your windows, deck, fence, and concrete. This one's electric, so you simply plug in its 35-foot cord and go, no hassling with gasoline or its nasty fumes. Promising review:"This has been a great addition to our cleaning regime. We wash cars, sidewalks, and backyard pool areas. Today I am cleaning my outdoor BBQ and can't wait to get started. It is easy to use and set up and cleans everything easily. The canister is easy to pull around and never tips over due to its unique wheel design. I highly recommend this product." — Caroline Leary Get it from Amazon for $124.56+ (available in eight styles, from 2100–3400 Max PSI). 2. Some under-$7/bottle(!!) Purple Power Industrial Strength Degreaser because when you need to tackle a super big, tough cleaning job — like blasting through disgusting road grease on your car wheels or the thick oily buildup on your kitchen exhaust fan's filter — you want something that requires basically no scrubbing. Dilute it according to the instructions, apply to your surface, and wait for your jaw to drop. While it's excellent for the heavy duty problems, it is a tad harsh, so always test in a hidden area before using it on painted surfaces or fabrics. Promising review: "This stuff is like magic. I had used another brand always before, and ended up trying this one out. I used to have to scrub with a metal brush. This seems to melt the oil stain off the driveway and I have to scrub way less. It doesn't leave any residue after washing off with water." — Clay H. Pinkerton Get a gallon of concentrate from Amazon for $6.97. Also available in an already-diluted spray bottle for $6.49. 3. A fur (and faux-fur) de-matting brush to rewind the clock on that matted, tangled, dirty fuzz on your favorite throw, pillow, chair, Ugg boots, or teddy bear coat so it once more looks exactly like the day you got it. That stuff can be $$$$, so it's worth it to take care of it. Hey Parents: This will bring well-loved stuffed animals back to soft touchable life! Promising review: "I got an expensive sheep hair chair from CB2. I thought I could just vacuum it but it wasn't removing the dust/dirt/lint bits and the seat was matting after six months of daily use. This cleaned and smoothed it out well. I got the suggestion from professional furniture restorers. It WILL remove some hairs, particularly if matted, but the hairs are often loose anyway. All dust/dirt/lint bits combed right out and it looks new again." — SH Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 4. An electric spin scrubber that scours on its own, so all you have to do is give it some soap to work with. Extendable handle to reach high and help prevent back pain from bending over? Check. Three speeds? Check. Rechargeable 90-minute battery life? Check. Four brush attachments and four scrubber attachments to tackle any task? Check. You also get a mesh bag for all those brushes and a hook for storing the scrubber. A little screen shows you the speed and battery percentage! Promising review: "This electric spin scrubber has completely transformed my cleaning routine! The cordless design makes it so convenient to use, and the three adjustable speeds provide the perfect amount of power for different surfaces. I love the eight replaceable brush heads — there's a perfect one for every cleaning task, from the shower to kitchen tiles. The adjustable long handle is a game-changer for reaching high or low spots without straining my back. It's durable, easy to use, and makes deep cleaning effortless. Highly recommend for anyone looking to save time and effort on household chores!" — ~Eddie~ Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in two colors). 5. A bottle of food-grade mineral oil so after you give your much-beloved wood cutting boards and kitchen tools a regular wash with soap, you can finish the job and restore them to their original rich luster too. Wipe it on, and ta-da! What a difference. Promising reviews: "Best ever! Saw this in a BuzzFeed article and decided to give it a try and I do not regret it. My board looks beautiful, and my knives and scissors are back to their original condition." — ares "We've been using Thirteen Chefs Mineral Oil on all our hardwood cutting boards, and it's been fantastic! It keeps the wood nourished, prevents it from drying out, and gives the boards a beautiful, smooth finish. It's easy to apply and doesn't leave any greasy residue. This mineral oil has become a must-have for maintaining our kitchen tools!" — Perfect Cents Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 6. A shoe cleaner literally called Pink Miracle since that's just how well it works! If your spring shoes from 2024 are covered in dirt but otherwise still have hundreds of wears in them, skip spending $$$ on new shoes. Instead, make last year's look brand-new again in just five minutes with this stuff. It works on polyester, mesh, nubuck, leather (including patent leather), and suede! Yes, use it on the laces, too. You get a bottle of soap and a cleaning brush. Promising review: "Literal magic in a bottle!!! A must-have for pristine sneakers! It took just a couple of minutes per shoe to get them white again. The cleaner effectively removes dirt and stains, restoring my sneakers to their original glory. It's especially impressive on white shoes, leaving them looking fresh and new. The cleaner is also gentle, ensuring it doesn't damage the delicate materials like suede and nubuck. The brush is sturdy yet gentle enough to use on different fabrics without causing any damage. The combination of the cleaner and the brush makes the cleaning process quick and efficient." — brad1856 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in three sizes). 7. An under-$5 window track cleaning brush specifically designed for getting deep down in those gross crevices thanks to narrow bristles on one end, an easy-hold middle handle, and a narrow scraper on the other end. Pair with your favorite all-purpose cleaner and some paper towels to wipe, and in less than five minutes, say "bye" to the eyesore! Promising review: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." — Bonzarelli Get a pack of two from Amazon for $4.99 (available in 5 color combos). 8. A rechargeable air blaster so you can clear the thick layer of dust, dirt, crumbs, and pet hair from all those finnicky little buttons in your car's dash with a couple of quick button presses. It's better than putty or slime because air leaves no residue and it's better than canned air because it's reusable! It has three settings (low, medium, and high) and, according to reviewers, can only run for a few minutes at the highest blast. BUT use it like you would canned air — in several short bursts for small areas — and literally a few seconds later, it'll look like your dashboard and laptop keyboard were detail cleaned! It's great for areas where you want to avoid moisture, like electronics. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home INVEST IN THIS!!" — S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 9. An almond-scented wood polish and cleaner to both bust through the layers of dirt and hard water buildup on your most-used kitchen cabinets and condition the wood and finish so they gleam in one fell swoop. *mic drop* Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:"I didn't realize how 'thirsty' my furniture was until I used this product. It made my dining table look great (and it is 20-years-old and used daily). Also, it applies easily and doesn't leave streaks. Highly recommend!" — Keri Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 10. A vinyl record cleaning kit — sure it's niche, but if you have a collection you use regularly, you know how dust can buildup on them and affect the audio quality. And if you're somewhat obsessive about cleaning, you're gonna want this specialty brush kit so your records, needle, and turntable all come out spick-and-span. The kit includes the pictured velvet record brush, a spray bottle of record cleaner, a stylus brush for the needle, and a small bristled cleaning brush for cleaning the dust off the velvet brush. Promising review: "I bought this kit immediately after getting some vinyls and a record player. I'm so impressed with how well it cleans! I should've taken pictures of what came off of the visibly dirty vinyls (a LOT of dust and a bit of cat hair). While you can make it harder for yourself and clean it on a flat surface, you can simply put your record on the player and hold the brush in one place! It's so quick and works so well!! This was the help my vinyls so desperately needed to boost their audio quality!" — Susie W Get it from Amazon for $21.99. 11. A solvent-based cleaner for any upholstery or fabric you have that has an "S" on its cleaning tag: "W" means you should use a water-based cleaner, so "S" means solvent cleaners are best! Quit staring despairingly at that pink strawberry milk stain that's graced your heirloom chair for over a year this to make it disappear like *abracadabra*. Any marked with a "W/S" means you can use either, of course. Promising review:"Extremely effective. I own a furniture store. We purposely spread some butter, french fry grease, and pomegranate juice on a Clean Code "S" fabric swatch, and let it sit for a day. Then we put on gloves, put some fluid on a small part of a rag, dabbed at the spill (didn't rub into it), which disintegrated the spill. Did this a few times, and lightly scraped sideways over the spill. You can't even see where the spills were. We keep this swatch on our desk when we write up our sales orders. Every one of our customers who buys a fabric sofa or chair, that has code S fabric, buys one of these or else we include it for free. I ordered a case for our stock." — J. Rasmussen Get a bottle from Amazon for $9.50. 12. A jewelry cleaning kit because it comes complete with everything you need to get your entire collection clean in a single pass so you don't spend hours trying to get that sparkle back: a silver polishing cloth to rub away tarnish, a stone cleaner solution to dissolve gunk and grime, and a detail brush to make quick work of stubborn spots. Thank you, basic chemistry, for making it so, so easy. It's effective and safe for all metals and stones, including costume jewelry. Just skip it for your pearls; those you should only clean with a damp soft cloth. Promising review: "I didn't take care of my Pandora bracelet and it became very tarnished. I used this product one time and it literally worked like a magic eraser but for jewelry! The solution didn't have a smell, it was very easy to use. Everything shown came as described." — Josiphine Casarez Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 13. Or some silver polishing wipes if that's the majority of your jewelry collection, or you have some silver candlesticks, your grandmother's silver pitcher, or other antique or shiny valuables you want to revive. Simply rub one of these in circles to watch the tarnish disappear like whoa. It's safe to use on silver, gold, brass, and silver-plated metals like aluminum! Promising review: "Before, my jewelry was so dusty and crusty that my jewelry box was like a doom box where rings and necklaces went to die. It was SO satisfying to do. I recommend wearing gloves, though. I was so excited to try the wipes that I went at it bare-handed, and after one necklace, my fingers were uncomfortably dry. Slid on some gloves, and the rest was a breeze. 10/10 recommend." — Sarah Get a pack of 20 wipes from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a 40-pack). 14. An extra large MagicFiber microfiber cleaning cloth that's exactly like the tiny cleaning cloths that come with your laptop and phone, except HUGE. I'm talking 16 x 16 inches. It'll literally make fingerprints, smears, and dirt on your treasured TV vanish immediately, so you won't spend ten minutes looking at the screen from every possible angle to ensure no gunk remains. A different type of microfiber than the towels you use for car and house cleaning, these have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." — Lane Get a three pack from Amazon for $14.99. 15. A set of reusable, extra-thick microfiber mop pads for nabbing entire neighborhoods of dust bunnies in a single swipe when used dry, and wiping up dried mud, pasta sauce, or whatever everyday gunk's gracing your wood, tile, and other hard floors when used wet. Designed to fit snugly on your Swiffer and wash effortlessly in the laundry, you'll cut down on single-use pad waste, especially if you dust-mop daily. You'll cut down on single-use pad waste while making everyday cleaning about ten billion times easier. Promising review: "A truly great eco-friendly cleaning product! These clean like magic! So much better than the wasteful disposables. Another plus: they clean with just water so no unpleasant artificial cleaning smell." — Sarah D Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.49. 16. Some Goo Gone because it gives you the power at your fingertips to quickly and painlessly remove mysterious sticky substances, pretty much wherever you find them. Duct tape gunk on the wall? So long. Sticker muck on your car or fridge or floor? Farewell. Cooked on grease at the bottom of a skillet? Auf wiedersehen. Chewed bubblegum on your couch cushion? Goodnight (to the stain). I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged. Promising review: "This stuff is magic. I had previously bought some other adhesive remover which was so pungent. This stuff worked better than that at removing adhesive residue. The residue came off effortlessly by wiping with a cloth wetted with the fluid. AND: no discernible smell whatsoever. Just MAGIC." — AH Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.97 (they also make a spray-on version for $19.98). 17. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets featuring citric acid to dissolve that gray-looking mineral buildup, wash away lingering grease, and leave behind nothing but a lovely lemony scent and shiny, new-looking stainless steel. Close the dishwasher door, run a cycle with a tablet, and voila! Use one monthly to maintain the shine and avoid future buildup! Promising reviews: "Finally bought these after struggling with a very smelly dishwasher. I followed the instructions and on the first round put 2 tablets in and WOW no more smell. And not only did it work immediately but now I've gone weeks with no return of the smell either! Can't recommend enough." — Madison Bean "I thought our dishwasher was just old and didn't clean well due to the hard water. But, when I gave these a try, I immediately had clean dishes without spots." — Rebecca Park Totilo Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $18.95. 18. A handheld steam cleaner that's the closest you can get to pointing to an object, exclaiming "clean thyself!" and watching the grime dissipate before your very eyes. Why? It does the job with JUST WATER, no solvents or surfactants. Sure, it may take a little more effort than using the nonwater chemicals, but if those irritate you, go with this for impressive results. Anything that can benefit from (and withstand) heat and moisture = perfect for this. For example, dried-on stains in your car mats, sticky grease in the kitchen, and ground-in dirt in grout. Promising review: "This handheld steam cleaner is awesome! Heats up fast, blasts out a good amount of steam, and tackles most clean-up jobs quickly. I used it in the bathroom for the shower, toilet, and sinks, and it made the job a lot easier. I also used it to clean the kitchen range under the grates. It's like brand new. The attachments are handy, and it's small enough to lug around easily. Plus, no chemicals needed, which I really like. If you're looking for a quick and easy way to freshen things up, this is it." — McGrvy Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 19. A leather stain remover spray because even though leather's usually relatively stain resistant, years with kids, pets, spouses, or just our own messy selves eventually take their toll on car leather, leather furniture, and even leather purses. Nab this to zap away all those marker drawings, queso drip remnants, and built-up skin oils with a simple spritz and wipe. This also works on durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux and other leather or leather-like surfaces. Promising reviews:"Was skeptical using this product on my favorite Celine bag, so I tested it out on a stain on the bottom of my bag just in case something bad happened. It quickly removed that stain and I continued to use the spray on a stain I got from my black jeans. Like magic the stain was gone and my bag has been restored! Would definitely recommend!" — Sarah P. Get it and a microfiber cloth from Amazon for $19.98. 20. A tub of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste so you can instantly shine or de-gunk dozens of different surfaces without having to scrub for hours *or* worry about scratching your chrome, marble, porcelain, wood, glass shower door or stove top, or stainless steel. No need to go over the same spot again and again and again when this gets it the first time! Promising reviews:"I have very hard water in my apartment and the hard water stains and soap scum are so hard to clean in my bathroom. I've used Magic Erasers, several different types of soap scum cleaners, industrial bleach, etc. The instant I rubbed the pink stuff on the hard water stains in my tub, they came off immediately with hardly any elbow grease. It barely took any effort and soap scum and hard water stains just rubbed away instantly. I highly recommend it!!" — Seven " I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT that good. It's better than good. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 21. A soft cleanser that, with very little effort on your part, will banish years of built-up hard water stains on tile or glass, truly transforming your shower right before your eyes and satisfying your deep need to quickly but thoroughly melt away every last little calcium stain. Promising review:"This cleaner works magic on our glass shower doors! Removes stubborn hard water stains like no other cleaner. I just rubbed it on with a damp sponge, let it sit a few minutes then rinsed with the shower head. I must say the price is a little inflated here but I'm just happy the product works as great as it does!" — FitDaddy Get two bottles from Amazon for $13. 22. A Baseboard Buddy — it's designed specifically to pick up all the grime from the hard-to-reach nooks and crannies like baseboards, moldings, and grates in one quick wipe, zero bending over or crawling on your hands and knees required. Satisfy your week-long baseboard botheration: simply walk around your house holding this next to you, and *poof*! Dust is gone! It includes three washable, reusable pads that you can use wet or dry. One reviewer who's over 65 swears by it because it's so difficult for them to get up and down! Promising reviews: "Works like magic. Finally I don't have to crawl around the floor to clean the baseboards." — Kelly tomolonis "Easy to use and care for! By far the best investment I've made as a professional cleaner. No more needing to bend over and hurt my back and knees! Washing the cleaning pads is also super easy and convenient!" — Y&M Rico Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 23. A tub of 90 oversize heavy-duty cleaning wipes perfect for tough jobs big and small. You know that grease and dust wasteland on the stove hood? This reviewer says these wiped that off "like it was nothing." And this reviewer says it "removed a level of grime that looked like had been there for years" on their outdoor table that had been hosed down already. It only takes a few swipes to remove grease, oil, tar, ink, paint, permanent marker, food stains, and so much more from all kinds of surfaces like fabric, carpet, leather, and painted walls. Promising review:"Magical. Look no further. These wipes got — no joke — 50 year-old tape goop off of the walls in our home's laundry room. I have a wall in my kitchen that my big dog likes to lay against and I have never been able to get it 100% clean. These wipes made it look like I put a fresh coat of paint on the wall. Get these for anything you need to clean that you thought was hopeless. You won't regret it!" — Joy Get a tub from Amazon for $14.98. 24. A pumice stone to vanquish those built-up hard water stains without using up all your spare energy for the day. If your toilets look like the one below, this should 1,000% become a staple in your cleaning routine. Bleach and other typical cleaners won't make a dent on the dried minerals, but this will! Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time which regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. Pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching. Am very happy with this worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree Get one from Amazon for $12.99. 25. A bottle of EcoTools makeup brush and sponge shampoo to vanish all the embedded layers of foundation, contour, concealer, powder, and eye makeup on your favorite applicator like it was never there. When the rest of the bathroom sparkles, you gotta get your makeup brushes sparkling, too. And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time. (Oh, and it's cruelty-free.) Promising review:"Cleans like magic. My mind is blown at well this soap works. I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough but could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I'm a convert." — ss3745 Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 26. A squeegee broom so you can extract years' worth of built-up, embedded pet hair from your carpet and rugs like you're The Queen of Cleaning Fairies herself. Can you believe the German Shepard owner who took this pic uses a Dyson pet vac — and THAT is how much hair the broom got that the vacuum didn't?? One of our readers owns this and loves it so much they commented about it: "I bought the squeegee broom and it did wonders for getting hair (both mine and my cats) out of the carpet, carpet looks great now!" — socks1234, from this roundup of hall-of-fame products It features rubber bristles along one edge, and if you flip it, a wide rubber squeegee on the other — some reviewers find the squeegee side is more effective on carpet than the bristles, so could be worth a try! Oh, and the handle telescopes 36–60 inches, so you can store it easily but also like, use it to squeegee off high windows if necessary. Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in compact and heavy duty versions). 27. A pack of Bottle Bright fizzing cleaning tablets — you simply drop one into almost any seemingly permanently stained travel mug or stainless water bottle to banish built-up stains without scrubbing even one little bit. Yes, even the mug you've entrusted with your black coffee to for two years now and only really rinsed out with water the whole time. Promising reviews: "My Yeti tumblers are used for tea. Every day. I've been using them for years. And there is a disgusting build up that I can never scrub off, not even with a magic eraser (its tannins). These are magical little nuggets of cleaning. My Yeti that is 5+ years old and had 5+ years of tea tannins built up is now sparkling clean like it was brand new!! I put boiling hot water in each cup, dropped in the magical nugget, and let it sit over night. A good scrub and I could sell this as an unused Yeti tumbler!! Worth the money and time!!!" — B.J. Claywell Get a box of 12 tablets from Amazon for $8. 28. And a brush spinner so you can get every last bit of makeup out of even the dirtiest brushes AND dry 'em — all in less than a minute. It's so quick, easy, and thorough, it'll instantly please your desire for perfection. You charge up the wand with a USB, put your brush in the wand, and choose one of three different speeds to spin it clean in a pretty little glass bowl. Promising Reviews:"Love this thing! It is amazing and works just as described. It cleans AND dries brushes in seconds!! Dense brushes take a little longer to dry, you just have to let them spin a little longer but it's far better then the day to two drying time I used to deal with. I can use them again immediately after because the brushes are spun completely dry! I used to completely dread cleaning my brushes. Now it's so easy that I do it frequently. Totally worth the investment for someone who hates cleaning their brushes like I did. I've recommended it to others and they love it too!" — "This is such a gem. I found this via BuzzFeed and quickly ordered it. It's cleans and instantly dries your brushes. It doesn't get more convenient than this!!" — Najmah H Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 29. A window screen and screen door cleaning brush because it's designed with hundreds of tiny little brushes that scrub-a-dub into each and every of those million little holes, disappearing all the grime so fast and efficiently, you won't find dirt left behind when you carefully inspect. Amazon Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! and works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small motor home screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah where the red dirt/dust is everywhere and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen." — KarenLynn Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 30. A automatic scrubbing brush so you can just lazily move it back and forth over whatever stubborn, sticky, rubbed-in mess you're cleaning up this time while it scrubs up to *60 times each second* for you. It's like a giant electric toothbrush, but y'all, I own one, have used it consistently since 2018, and it REALLY works. You literally see the dirt come up and the grout lighten with just 30 seconds of use. Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed, Grout, tough mold, mystery sticky stuff, and stubborn dirt don't stand a chance. They make a specialty grout head you can buy for it, but TBH the default brush works just as well, unless you have incredibly narrow grout lines. Promising review:"One of my favorite products of the year. Strongly recommended. Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail. I tell you it's simple and works like magic and the grout in my 10-year-old bathroom tile floors has been restored to as new condition. I could not possibly recommend this thing more highly." — Mr. helper Get it from Amazon for $19.63. If you want even more info, check out my full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber Review. 31. A microfiber duster to replace all other dusters in your life, because it attracts and holds onto dust like a *magnet* instead of brushing it into the air just to settle again later. Actually getting rid of the dust is THE key to a home that needs less dusting. Go ahead, dust every last little surface in your home, marveling at how it picks up every speck. This one from Oxo is very thin so it can squeeze into tight crevices. To clean it you just run it through a gentle cycle in the washer and air-dry. You can buy extra covers for $12.99 each and a long-handled version for $17.99. Promising reviews: "My housekeeper loves this for dusting. Easy to toss in the wash." — PT " I hate dusting. I normally would go through many paper towels or rags just to dust around the house. It was such a pain in the neck. After buying this, my dusting days have become much easier! I simply dust and then toss the microfiber part in the washer. It doesn't fall apart in the wash either. Works beautifully!" — PCamps Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 32. A stainless steel cleaner and polish that I suspect will work both *faster* and *better* than pretty much any other stainless steel cleaner you've tried — because it did for my mom AND the 13,000 other people who have left 5-star ratings. I used it myself to obsessively clean my stainless fridge yesterday, and it effortlessly erased finger prints, food drips, and a ton of stubborn mystery stuck-on black stuff from the last tenant. My mom tried like, three or four different stainless cleaners before I showed her this one, and y'all: she swears by it because it's easier and faster to use than the others, and makes all of her stainless appliances SO SHINY! Therapy Clean is a small family-owned biz specializing in plant-based cleaning products that work. Promising review:" Where this cleans just as well as others, it streaks less thus taking less time to use. It does smell good, but even better, it actually protects your appliances from getting fingerprints again so quickly! I have spent an hour cleaning all my appliances just to have prints again as soon as kids are home. This cleaner has kept my appliances smudge free for over a week! It's magical!" — JenniK Get a bottle and a streak-free cloth from Amazon for $19.95. 33. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, which you absolutely NEED if your cat, dog, or toddler causes 99% of your big problem SMELLY STAINS. Think pee, poop, and vomit funk specifically. Even if there's not a stain but there's still a lingering wet dog smell on your couch, this stuff will make it go *poof*. Angry Orange, a small biz started in 2014, makes all kinds of supplies to clean up after your pets! Promising reviews:"I decided to buy this product after reading the reviews. I bought it because we have four big, BIG, HAIRY dogs that think they are Chichuahuas and should be inside all the time, and I'm very self-conscious of their smell any time someone comes to our house. I vacuum everyday, and I use carpet deodorizers often, but still... there is always a faint dog "scent" that remains. Angry Orange smells very orangey (of course!) when you apply it, but the scent doesn't last long. When it fades, it takes with it the dog scent also. It doesn't mask it, like other products, it takes it away!!! I have a couple of family members that have very good noses and who are very vocal and opinionated, and even they said that they could not smell dogs after using this magical concoction." — Miriam B Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in three sizes).
