If You Avoid Cleaning At All Costs, Here Are 27 Products That'll Make It Easier (Because It Simply *Must* Be Done)
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. Yes, you have to do it. No, you don't have to like it. Yes, every single item in this post will make it easier. 1. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner because it says it right in the name — just spray down your shower, then literally go live your life! Then, 8–12 hours later, rinse all the surfaces with water, and check out your shower's glow-up — which did not require even one moment of scrubbing. Promising reviews: " This may be the best thing I have ever bought off of Amazon. And I buy quite a bit. Long story short, the tub in my kids' bathroom was atrocious due to spotty cleaning and hard water. I bought this with a heavy dose of skepticism, even though the reviews were mighty impressive. On the back of the bottle, it says that you may need several daily applications before your tub is clean, and then you can switch to a weekly application. I'm on day three, and let me say, even if this stuff worked no further, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The shower looks close to new. A couple of more days and I'll be able to switch to weekly!." — Tee "This stuff is AMAZING! I cannot believe how easy this is to use and how much of a great job it does with little to no effort. I've been using this Wet & Forget for about 5 years now and it makes shower clean up so easy. My favorite part of this is that it keeps my grout clean. No more grout brushes and no more scouring each tile. The smell is hardly noticeable and can be applied quickly. It's not the cheapest product out there, but the backache it saves me from makes this worth every penny." — Bee Beeing Bizzee Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two sizes, two scents and a two pack). 2. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner, so you can clean your disposal without having to actually do anything (ideal scenario). Toss a packet of the cleaner down the drain and run the disposal and warm water at the same time — when you see the blue foam, you'll know that the cleaner is going to work, removing all evidence of the many fine gourmet meals you've prepared at home (and yes, fine, some takeout). Promising review:"These are so cool! We had a problem with odor in our sink when the washer was going. I used one of these and problem solved. That was two months ago and still no odor. Very effective, a great value, cleaned out both sides of the sink drain. So easy to use, you literally just drop a pouch in your drain turn on the disposal and watch it foam up and push out all the buildup." — Ryan Get it from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in four sizes). 3. An instant carpet spot remover that will remove any stain — yes, even "whoops, time to move, I guess" level stains. Promising reviews: 'I am so impressed with Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover! I used it on a mattress stain, and it worked like magic. The stain disappeared instantly, without any scrubbing or harsh chemicals. It's gentle yet effective, and I love that it's safe for use on fabric. The 32oz bottle will last a long time, and it's easy to use—just spray, blot, and the stain is gone. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quick and efficient way to clean their mattress or other upholstery!" — Britney B "I am a skeptic and don't trust reviews. It's hard for me to make a decision about any new product! I have a rug I bought at a Vintage store - going out of business. It had stains on it that I lived with for a yearish - but got sick of them. I bought this Folex product and really couldn't believe how well it worked. I sprayed it on, rubbed it a bit with a terry rag, and then blotted the stains. They all just disappeared! It was super easy and quick - if something is too complicated I won't do it so I really appreciate that it's quick and easy. Tonite my dog threw up on my living room carpet - so I got out the Folex. First I picked up as much as I could and then blotted it with paper towels. Then I sprayed it wih Folex, rubbed it a little and then blotted it with a clean terry rag. It's gone. I am super happy! Oh and a few moths ago I tried it on my sister's spotted carpeting - all spots came out - and haven't returned. Anyway - I am happy to write the product a GREAT REVIEW! Thank you Folex!" — CS Get it from Amazon for $6.68+ (available in two sizes and various multipacks). 4. A jetted tub cleaner for anyone who's been sticking to showers because they're scared of what's hiding inside their jets. Just add some cleaner to your tub and fill 'er up, run the jets, and all the mold, dirt, soap scum, and other ickiness will come flying out. Promising reviews: " BUY IT! Such a great cleaner!! I didn't have very high expectations for this cleaner, but boy, did it do the job! We moved into a house that looked like the jets had never been cleaned. Yuck! This product worked wonders for deep cleaning our tub! I went through the process twice for the first time and got nasty gunk both times. Now that the tub has been deeply cleaned and looks amazing, I'll keep using this once a week to maintain! This product doesn't smell bad and is super easy to use! A definite buy!!!" — Michelle "Oh Yuk Jetted Tub Cleaner for Jacuzzis, Bathtubs, Whirlpools, The Most Effective Jetted Tub Cleaner… removed ask the gunk in 15 minutes! Easy application! Started cleaning as soon as I turned on the jets! 15 minutes later and a lil wipe down tub is sparkly again. Great product! Will use regularly now." — Cyn Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and two packs). 5. A ChomChom roller to help you actually get all the lint, pet hair, and random fuzz off your furniture (and self!) — no sticky sheets or wailing in frustration required! Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed Promising review: "It works!! You just roll it up and down a surface and it picks up the pet hair!! I've used it on the bed, couch, and cat tree! It's very easy to use and when you press the button it pops open so that you can clean it out. One thing I will say is that trying to get every hair and fuzzy from the container is a little bit frustrating, but I'm still very satisfied because at least I can clean out the majority, even if a few hairs get left in the canister. I recommend it to anyone who has pets that shed. It works better than vacuuming hair off of surfaces or using tape or a lint roller, and it's very quick!!" — Myrtle Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in two colors). 6. A Baseboard Buddy with a 4-foot extendable handle and 360-degree swivel head, so you can clean your baseboards, ceiling fans, moldings, and grates without getting down on your hands and knees, standing on a step ladder, or doing any of the other things that have made you put off cleaning for... ~checks calendar and shivers deeply~. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "It sure beats bending over to wipe down the baseboard, especially at my age. I wet the pad first, then spray 409 Multipurpose Spray on it and start wiping down the baseboard. Works like a charm and I have no back pain to deal with. Thanks for a great product." — Judith Barber Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 7. A pack of six multipurpose microfiber cleaning cloths with unique textures that are designed for three different kinds of cleaning — scrubbing, glass-cleaning, and all-purpose wiping. Not only will they keep you from having to run out for more paper towels — reviewers say they're actually easier to use than paper towels. Target Promising review: "Oh. My. God. This is like magic. I have a brand-name cloth that costs about 4 times as much as these cloths (the middle blue cloths in this pack of 6). I cleaned every shiny surface of my house using just water. No streaks or pieces of paper towel left behind like usual. The best part is no chemicals or using disposable paper towels. Try these, you will be OBSESSED." — AshleyBashley Get it from Target for $10.49. 8. A six-pack of washing machine cleaner tablets because, yes, the thing you use to get clothes clean can also get totally dirty. But if you just drop in a tablet and run a cycle, it will banish all mold and grime to a place far, far away (where they can't make your clothes gross). Promising reviews:"This worked like a charm! I didn't know how dirty my machine was until it was cleaned with Affresh. Great product." — Shannon "This one of the best cleaning products out there. It cleans out my washing machine in one cycle and leaves it smelling fresh and looking clean. Its very easy to use, just toss in one packet on hot and let the cycle run. Ive never experienced a leak with the packaging, and the product works well." — Bevin Get it from Amazon for $6.64+ (available in two sizes). 9. A Bissell SteamShot so you can use high-pressure steam to blast away mold, scrape off stuck-on goo, or clean grout, no chemicals or enormous amounts of elbow grease required! Promising reviews: "This truly is a must have for every house. It can clean every area with absolutely no issues. So easy to use, easy to clean." — Caitie Packert "Game changer in cleaning. Makes grout and glass cleaning so easy with the tools. The upholstery cleaning tool is top notch as well." — Cassie Get it from Amazon for $38.07. 10. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubbing pads because it's time to admit it: you've been putting off cleaning your toilet because using a traditional brush and then putting it back is just With this, just pop the cleaning head in the trash as soon as you're done cleaning, and never touch a wet toilet brush bristle again (the DREAM). What's included: One toilet wand, one storage caddy, six original disposable refills, and 10 Rainforest Rush-scented refills. Promising reviews: "I much prefer this to a traditional scrub brush because the pads are disposable. I mean, I really found it weird using an old fashioned brush and then putting it away after having been in the toilet. (Yuk.) These have enough cleaning fluid infused in the sponge to clean up the toilet regularly. You can even add a traditional toilet gel/cleaner if you feel the need for additional cleaning. Bought a separate set to use strictly as a cleaner for the hard to reach places in my shower/tub. Works like a charm." — Maria "It's so easy to use. You can dispose of the scrubber after every use to ensure you get a great clean every single time. The wand itself could last long but I do replace it once a year. The scrubs work instantly. I don't have to be scrubbing long at all. Cleans amazing." — Katia Get it from Amazon for $20.86. 11. A tube of silicone grout whitener for those mold and mildew stains that seem impossible to clean. How do I know that this cleaner works on them? I lived it, friends! I applied the whitener at night, went to sleep, and when I woke up, it had banished mold stains that I thought I just had to live with. There's the lesson, folks: never settle when it comes to life, love, and grout. Promising reviews: "This is a thick gel cleaner that you apply to grout or caulk that is mildewy. Just let it sit for a few hours and then wipe it off. It truly works! Caulk that I thought was permanently grey/black turned white again. It's so quick and easy to apply with no scrubbing. It does smell like bleach so be sure to ventilate the room and keep sensitive people or animals away while it does its work. Depending on how much you need to clean, you might need more than one tube. I used up much of my tube on a couple lines along the bathtub." — CW "So easy. Just squeeze on, wait a bit and wash off. It is thick enough to stay on while working. Removes all mold/mildew and discolorations. Smells much better than the bleach I was using and way easier too. It gets the job done!" — FRANCINE DOYLE Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 12. Or a professional-strength grout cleaner to use on traditional grout. If bleach, scrubbing, and using a tiny brush while cussing up a storm haven't worked, give this a try. Reviewers say that after you apply and let it sit, the grout comes off easily, and looks like new. Promising review:"This product is the best grout cleaner ever. It's so easy to use and fast. After applying to grout lines I waited maybe 3–4 minutes max and then brushed the grout line with a stiff brush. It is amazing. The grout looks brand new. If you have heavy stained grout you may have to do a few spots over again but it's so fast and easy. I did a few tile sections at a time. After brushing the grout I would wipe off the Grout-Eez with a damp cloth and then move on. When a big section dried I mopped the entire floor. It's really an amazing product. One bottle goes a long way." — Christine Sharpe Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available with or without two brush styles). 13. A set of Affresh dishwasher cleaning tablets because lime and mineral build-up make your dishwasher work less effectively, which means your dishes don't get as clean, which means (horror of horrors) you'll have to rinse them before you put them in the washer. Not on my wash! With monthly usage of these septic-safe cleaning tablets, your dishwasher will stay in tip-top shape (and free of any moldy smells, too). Promising review: "This works extremely well. We haven't done any cleaning on our dishwasher in five years, and the sliding dish trays were tough to pull out or push in, there was detergent build-up all over the inside, and there was a milky film on all our cups. I bought Affresh, ran the dishwasher with two tablets while it was empty, and the difference was astounding. No more film on the glasses, no more dirty dishes from clogged sprayers, no more odors, or build-up around the door seals. I'm going to be buying Affresh from now on, and hopefully it will extend the life of my dishwasher." — Martoune Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in two sizes). 14. A hard-water-stain remover that will get your shower door looking like you spent hours scrubbing it but actually takes almost no effort. (Though if you want to let your guests think that you spent hours scrubbing, who am I to stop you?) Promising reviews:"Totally amazed how easily this worked at removing all the water stains on our glass shower doors. I had tried numerous products over the years, but nothing worked like Bio Clean. I highly recommend this product to anyone with hard water stains." — Heather "This product is amazing. It removed hard water stains from my kitchen faucet 100% in less than 10 minutes. I like that it is a thick pasty quality that you can brush on, walk away and let it work, then wipe off with a cloth. So much easier to use than the dozens of spray on products I used in the past! And less messy than sprays, easy to control, easy to apply. Highly recommend for any areas where you have hard water stains." — summer40 Get it from Amazon for $20.70. 15. A pack of Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads because it's all in the name — place the pad on top of the carpet stain (caused by wine, tomato sauce, or Fluffy not making it outside in time), stomp on it to activate the stain remover, leave it for up to 24 hours, and voila! You can pretend that this whole mess never happened. Promising reviews: "My older dog had an accident on the carpet right in front of our front door and with heavy traffic walking over the spot all the time... it got darker almost daily!! We put these on overnight and I was amazed!! My carpet was beautiful and the stain was gone!!! We let it dry and steam cleaned it and now it's like it never happened. Recommend these to anyone who has stains — even if they've been there for years!!!" — Kamryn "I wish I knew about these sooner! They are seriously a game-changer for anyone who owns pets and deals with pet messes. They lifted stains out of our carpet that we thought would be permanent. So much easier to use than any sprays too. If you own pets, do yourself a favor and buy these!!" — Laura Get it from Amazon for $24.98. 16. A three-blade blind duster that will help you tackle one of the grimiest chores around — cleaning your Venetian blinds — with more speed and less effort than you've ever known before. It might even make it, dare I OK, OK, even if it isn't fun, it's still very effective. Amazon Promising review: "OK I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured, why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." — Amazon Shopper Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 17. A pack of pre-moistened screen-cleaning cloths so you can have a less-nasty laptop in minutes. Come on, we all know you eat lunch in front of it, just admit it, wipe it down quickly with these, and move on. Promising reviews: "I was skeptical at first because I've tried just about everything to clean my monitors and TV screens and EVERYTHING left streaks. Well, the buck stops here. These wipes are AMAZING! As advertised, they are completely streak free. I don't know how they came up with right formula, but they got it! A+++++++++++++++++++++" — Howard C. "Cleaning screens has never been easier. Pop a cloth out, wipe screen(s) and toss cloth in trash. Done!" — Dedra #1 Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six sizes). 18. An automatic makeup brush cleaner for folks who know they go longer than they should between brush washes. But when you add some makeup brush shampoo and water to this bowl, get the mixture spinning, and rub your brushes to like-new condition on its textured sides, cleaning your brushes might actually Promising reviews: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty well. I added a few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… it's amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it, girl!" — Mariela "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." — TaleSpinner Get it from Amazon for $19.59+ (available in three colors). 19. A set of five Keurig cleaning pods because coffee residue build-up and oil can sabotage your delicious morning cup of joe. No worries — just pop one of these in, and you'll be back to tasting that java with almost zero effort on your part. Promising reviews: " I could not believe the gunk this product removed from just the dispenser portion of my machine. It only requires the time it takes to run the cycles, too — no long waiting for the product to work. It actually looks and smells like denture cleaner, creating a thick foam over blue solution on the first cycle. Then it's just running the rest of the solution through, which is minimal, and then rinsing. Couldn't be much easier unless you get someone else to do it for you. If you have a K-cup machine, get these." — Robin Alwine "I have had these for awhile but just used it today. Great!! Did a wonderful job cleaning the needle and removing any buildup. Easier cleaning the machine. Very good product." — Lastborn Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 20. A FlexiSnake that will help you easily unclog your shower drain — its micro-hooks will help snag all the nasty hair that is making your water backup, getting it out of there way faster than Drano (and with less potential damage to your pipes). Plus, you don't need to remove the drain cover to use it! Amazon Promising review:"I don't write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn't really read the instructions, but it's pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, and pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won't be disappointed." — Linsey Walker Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three variations). 21. A cordless Bissell Little Green multipurpose portable cleaner because you've probably heard (or seen on social media!) how effective this is at removing the biggest messes. But did you know it's also easy as heck to use? Reviewers say it's lightweight, easy to maneuver, and works quickly. Promising reviews:"This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time, and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" — Davina "I've owned several Bissel vacuums so I figured this would be good as well - it did not disappoint. If you have dogs and/or young children this will be a lifesaver on furniture. Easy to use and the cleaning solution smells so good. It's light and easy to carry." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in three variations). 22. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash to help you cut down on the misery that is scrubbing at a greasy pan. Just spray the Powerwash, wipe, and rinse — and watch even the gooey-est of goos come off with ease. The starter bundle comes with a sprayer and three refill bottles. Promising reviews: "My daughter told me about this, but I thought it was just like the regular Dawn dish soap. When she finally showed me how it worked, I couldn't believe I was washing dishes without it for so long. It's amazing for all the caked-on baking dishes, and it cuts through grease like magic. And it even worked when cleaning my stove, cabinets, and cupboards. It makes all the caked-on grease and grime disappear. I 100% recommend this product." — Maria Kerr "Absolutely love this stuff, I can clean things so much easier now, wish the size was a larger because I use this so much, I'm very sensitive to smells & it has a very pleasant odor." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $3.49+ (available in two sizes, three scents, and multi-packs). 23. A pet stain- and odor-eliminating spray because your fur babies are perfect housemates — except for the icky "presents" they sometimes leave on your carpets and furniture. This spray uses enzymes to attack the organic matter within your precious buddy's accidents, so it doesn't just remove the stain or mask the scent — the whole thing is gone, no furious scrubbing necessary. The spray works on carpets, upholstery, garbage cans, concrete, hardwood, and more. Promising review:"Sorry to yell, but I'm so excited to finally find an enzyme cleaner that works, and FAST! I had tried other enzyme cleaners on my cat's accidents with mixed results. Most didn't work or took a very long time to do anything. Thankfully, I finally decided to try something new. The improvement was immediate. As for the scent, I don't mind it — it's certainly better than the smell of pet urine or vomit! Don't hesitate to buy this!" — Alyvee Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 24. A septic-safe rust stain remover that will turn your bathtub from orange to the actual color it was supposed to be the entire time... and with NO SCRUBBING REQUIRED. Is it witchcraft? Nay, good sir; simply a great cleaning product. Promising review:"OK, so we have a lot of iron and stuff that stains our shower, toilet, and sinks in our well water. I have scrubbed with every different kind of cleaner I could think of. I even scrubbed with a drill brush. So I saw this stuff on Amazon and read the reviews, all good and positive reviews, so I bought it. I sprayed it in the shower and turned around to grab a scrub brush, when I turned back around to scrub it was gone, CLEAN and WHITE tiles like it was new. I wish I could buy it by the 55-gallon drum." — Rod Get it from Amazon for $7.38+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 25. A wine stain remover because your wine-sipping time should be occupied by wondering what the person at the wine store meant when they said this bottle had "undertones of dill," not with panicking about spilling a drop on the carpet or couch. And if you're not a wine enthusiast, this also works for coffee, ink, sauces, even blood! Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago, and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." — Melanie N Get it from Amazon for $12.47. 26. A container of bio-based, nontoxic, all-purpose cleaning wipes, so you can skip the whole after-dinner "spray the stove top, wipe down the stove top" routine — just give it a quick wipe with these and move on with your life, as the universe intended. You've got White Lotus episodes a-waitin'! Target Promising review: "These wipes make quick cleaning a breeze, with a refreshing lemon and mint scent that leaves surfaces smelling zesty. The plant-based formula is gentle yet effective on everyday grime, though it might struggle with tougher messes. At $2.99, they're budget-friendly and eco-conscious. However, the 35-count pack runs out quickly, so you may find yourself reaching for another soon." — romama Get it from Target for $2.99. 27. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner because you COULD scrub the inside of your microwave, straining your wrist at a weird angle in the you could just fill this lady up with water and vinegar, set her in the microwave, and allow her to take out her anger on the caked-on food. Once she's done, just wipe with a wet cloth or paper towel, and you're good to go! Promising review: "I bought the Angry Mama Microwave Cleaner as a white elephant gift, expecting it to be more of a gag item than something useful. Little did I know it would end up being one of the stars of my kitchen! After the party, I brought it home, gave it a try, and was blown away by how effective and easy it made the dreaded chore of cleaning my microwave. Using it is incredibly simple: you just fill Angry Mama with vinegar and water, pop it in the microwave, and let it steam away. In minutes, all the stubborn, caked-on food and grime loosen up, making it effortless to wipe everything clean. What used to be a frustrating task now takes mere moments, and my microwave has never looked better. The quirky design adds a fun touch to a typically mundane chore, and it's durable and easy to clean after use. If you're skeptical, don't be—this little gadget actually works great! I went from low expectations to being a total fan. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to make their life easier (or for your next gift exchange — you might end up keeping it too)!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors).

29 Cleaning Products From Amazon Our Readers Are Loving In 2025 So Far
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. If you're having trouble with the "keep my apartment clean" New Year's resolution, Amazon is here to help. 1. A cleaning rod that conforms to the exact shape of your baseboard. No angle is too obscure for this convenient tool. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry. Promising reviews:"I have a cleaning business, and this has saved my back time and time again. It has also saved a lot of time. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing a way to clean baseboards." — MzBerry "This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards and door and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That's three bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, living room, hallway, and mud room in under 15 minutes. It used to take me almost half a day and very sore knees and back. I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can't/don't want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." — Suziehomemaker 2. A tub of The Pink Stuff because it has hundreds of thousands of 5-star reviews. The numbers don't lie. If you want something clean, go pink or go home to a dirty house. 3. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover for tackling all those unavoidable stains. From spilled wine during an evening soirée, to muddy footprints when the kids come running in from their springtime recreation, this product will help keep your carpet in tip-top shape. Promising reviews:"This carpet stain remover is amazing! My daughter got a bloody nose, and it dripped all over the carpet. I used this, and all of the blood came out! Definitely worth the money. I have bought and used two bottles. I recommend having this on hand at all times if you have kids or pets." — Jennifer "There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilled coffee to wine to dog messes without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies." — Carobnty 4. A FlexiSnake to take care of the messes you can't see. Sometimes those are the worst. All you have to do is ~snake~ it down the drain and pull it back out. Its microhooks and 360-functionality will grab anything that shouldn't belong down there. This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes. Promising review:"I'm so glad I bought these little devices! They work amazingly well and pull a lot of gunk out of drains. My son's shower was draining slowly, and when Drano didn't do the trick, one quick sweep with this tool and bam — good as new! Easy to assemble, simple to use, and seriously effective. If I can do it, anyone can! The water started flowing immediately, which is surprising because these guys are small." — Amber B 5. A Pikk-it vacuum cleaner — hair is probably the one thing that makes your vacuum's suction decrease the fastest. Some people might buy a whole new vacuum when this happens, but all you actually need to do is use this brush to get the hair out. Now your vacuum can clean at full-force again. Amazon, Promising reviews:"Works well for cleaning out vacuum rollers! Nicely made and easy to use." — D. Raymond "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS 6. A dryer vent cleaner kit because a few pesky pieces of lint always escape the trap. Extrapolate that over many years and thousands of washes, there's a whole nest of lint up inside the dryer. Get it all out with one easy purchase. Read more about why you need to clean the vents here. Promising reviews:"Awesome! I used it to clean floors under the fridge and stove too. Bendable, perfect, and easy to clean." — nancy2 "I was a little skeptical when I took this out of the package, yet my doubt turned to joy LOL. These are a great buy, and I believe I will serve my dryer well past its lifetime. My dryer is only a year old and I ALWAYS, after every use, clean the lint filter. I was surprised how much settles to the base of the dryer underneath the filter trap. You may have to use this a few times, depending on your machine, to get all the lint out, but at least you'll get results. Yes, I know it's easier to use the vacuum to get it out; I prefer not lugging the vacuum out for this, and this is cheaper, AND I can give one away since they give you two." — P. Andersen 7. A set of Bissell Stomp 'N Go Pet Lifting Pads to get out all those stains left behind by your furry friends. Pets add so much love to a home. They also have tons of stains, but those can be taken care of real quick. As the name says, just lay the pad on the stain, and give it a stomp to release the cleaning fluid, then come back a bit later to remove it, and the stain will be gone. Promising reviews:"Love the idea of this product! So easy to use! Works well! Takes out tough stains. Worth the money." — Jean Tagliere "These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet who has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS. Holla!!!! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore, thanks to these pads. They are seriously miracle workers, and I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward." — Lisa Koivu 8.

This is the only thing I've found that actually works at removing all of his hair from the bed and other furniture." — d0c 9. A pack of cleaning pods to take care of all that residue inside your coffee maker. Pretty cool that cleaning it is just as easy as making a cup of coffee. Just pop in the pod and let it do its thing. All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, run a water-only cycle, and then return to brewing your faves. Promising reviews:"Cleaning our two Kuerig makers was quick and easy with this kit. Cleaner than clean!" — JAC " I heard about this product from BuzzFeed! I noticed my coffee did start to taste bad and wondered what would happen if I tried it out. The ease of use is spectacular. I saw the Keurig brand kit you can buy from Target, and it just seemed so confusing. With this, you literally brew it like you would a normal cup of coffee and dump it out. It worked like a charm. I used two cups in a row until the liquid came out a little transparent, and now my coffee tastes great! I'm definitely planning on using this longer term, every few months, to keep my Keurig clean. Who would've thought you need to clean the inside of a Keurig? Get this! It works!" — Amazon Customer 10.

It smells like Bengay muscle cream." — Amazon Customer "When we moved into our new place, the shower doors looked like they had never been cleaned before. I tried at least 10 different products and methods to remove the hard water spots, but nothing even made a dent. Bio Clean, however, was like a magic eraser! I scrubbed each door for about 10 minutes, and it was incredible! I've never written a cleaning product review before, but this one is worth every penny." — Shane B 12.

A bottle of concrete stain remover because even though the concrete is all outside, it deserves to be sparkling clean. Your sidewalk will be the talk of the neighborhood. Promising reviews:"OUTSTANDING. Took out oil stains from my car in the driveway pavers. Stains had been there anywhere from one week to three months. I was worried as I had read it was difficult to get out oil stains. Only needed to apply one application. HIGHLY recommend." — Barbara G. "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW I didn't notice until four days later. Four spots, all about the size of a dollar bill, baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon, and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. until about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried, and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well, it broke apart with the broom, and the stains were gone, I just swept up the powder pieces — it took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and is easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete, so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface, but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." — AmazonBob 16. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that will make cleaning the dishwasher as easy as the dishwasher cleaning the dishes. Just pop one in, hit start, and that's it. Only fair to keep the dishwasher clean after all it does for you. Promising review:"This is the best dishwasher cleaner I have tried, and I have tried many.

Great product!!" — Amazon Customer 17. A tube of stain remover to get all the dirty edges in your shower/tub looking as sharp as the tiles themselves. Now your guests will see a bathroom that is actually spotless through and through. Promising reviews:"Got this finally after having it in my cart for a long time. Decided to at least give this a try to remove the black spots on my shower grout. Put on as instructed, and hours later, it's back to white and very little black left. I was shocked, to say the least. Not too smelly and worth the money." — Yoyoemma13 "It's a little hard to squeeze, but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn't caulk or seal them properly, and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up, but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" — Brooklyn Nguyen 18.

RMR-86 started working within minutes, right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." — Marie Moore 19.

Promising reviews:"Ordered to use on my stainless steel sink. This product is wonderful. Easy to use and leaves a clean and shine like brand new. It leaves a hydrophobic coating on the stainless steel that beads water and resists water spots. Will recommend." — Carol Kesicke "My stainless sink had streaks on it from using an ultra-strong cleaner. It left a dark shading that I thought was permanent. I've tried scrubs, polishers, natural home remedies from online, and just about everything. I read about this sink cleaner from an online best products on Amazon blog. I figured I'd tried everything else , so I bought it. IT WORKED!!! I'm thrilled with this cleaner, and it brought the finish back on my stainless steel sink.

I will definitely stock this product." — Lisa Magana "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck, and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree, and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate, and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin 24.

I doubt the previous owners ever did, either. It was a blackened, grody mess. I sprayed a heavy coat of this stuff all over the inside and let it sit for a while. Then I got to scraping and wiping. I couldn't believe how much rock-hard soot came off. I gave some stubborn spots a second coat and eventually had the entire thing looking new. It's a miracle spray." — GinHum 27.

I recommend this product!!" — KC "I never leave reviews on Amazon, but this grout cleaner definitely deserves a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-Eez, and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-Eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." — Tyler 28. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet bowl cleaning stamps because the less time you have to spend cleaning the toilet, the better.
