34 Products So Dang Good, Reviewers Basically Wrote A Thesis On Them

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 · The TL:DR; from one reviewer below: "Don't walk. RUN and buy this stuff." 1. A Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen which can brighten your smile by four to eight shades with regular use. Whether your stains are due to coffee, tea, more coffee, wine, yet more soda, this is sure to help. After brushing and flossing, you paint your teeth with the pen (each pen contains about 20 uses), wait for 30 minutes, then rinse! Promising reviews:"I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. This was super easy, didn't hurt my teeth at all, and didn't taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother's wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" — Victoria Bravo " Saw this on BuzzFeed — they were right! It's easy to use and actually works. I was so surprised at how well this pen bleached out some coffee stains on my teeth after just one application. I've tried Crest Whitestrips, and this is better because you can get in between the teeth." — CS Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available individually or in packs of two or three). 2. A ChomChom roller ready to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out. ChomChom is a small biz! Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 3. A "flossing toothbrush" with two layers of bristles. One layer being regular firm ones, and the other being longer ones that are ten times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums. Take that, dentist!! Emma Lord/BuzzFeed Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans even patients with "great" dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines. Promising review: "I've been using Dr. Plotka's toothbrushes for a while now, and I can't emphasize enough how good these are. These, hands down, are the best I've ever used. The bristles are very thin so you are actually flossing as you brush. Because the bristles are as thin as they are, I just assumed they'd wear out super fast, but I was wrong. The statement 'naturally eliminates 99.9% of bacteria' hooked me, and I'm glad I took a chance. The bristles are soft — but with a punch. I'm having to use less effort getting my teeth clean because the thin bristles get right in between my teeth. I definitely highly recommend this product." — Lisa Stepanski And here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "I bought this and love it! I usually use an electric toothbrush, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively. I've switched to using this in the morning and the electric one at night and definitely see a difference in that area in particular." Get it from Amazon for $8.91 for a pack of two. 4. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess Mascara which will give you a falsies-level look for less than five bucks. It seems questionable, I know, but for confirmation you need only to look at the 264,000+ 5-star reviews!! Promising review:"After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can't stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long-wearing. I go from an eight-hour workday right to the gym and sweat [a lot]..and this stuff doesn't budge! I love it!!" — Carrie E Weikert Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and as a three-pack). 5. A powerful rust remover that can remove stains from just about any surface — think showers, sinks, tubs, toilets, concrete floors, and even colorfast carpets — with zero scrubbing involved. Promising review:"We have a VERY high iron concentration in our well water at home, and it ends up slowly turning our shower, sink, and toilet a deep orange color over time. I have tried a ton of products to try to fix this issue, but nothing works nearly as well as this product. Smells absolutely terrible but works AMAZING. A few spritzes of this, and you can watch the orange dissolve away before your eyes. I use this formula for the sink and inside of the shower and use the powder formula for inside the toilet as that seems to work better there. As stated earlier, the smell is awful and lingers until you rinse everything down, so definitely have windows open when using this product." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in various sizes). 6. Some internet-famous Mellanni sheets with more than 245,000 5-star reviews! People love 'em as they're affordable, comfy, and surprisingly cool. Promising reviews: "My favorite sheets have to be Cozy Earth. But they are way too pricey for a guest bed. These sheets are just as good without the huge price tag. Side by side comparison to these vs expensive brands like Cozy Earth or Peacock Alley — these sheets are thinner and deeper, which actually fit better on our deep mattress with a 3-inch topper, these sheets are just as cool feeling as the higher-end ones when you get in bed. They wash well. Actually better than [the] Peacock Alley brand. They hardly wrinkle. And even after months of use, they are still in great shape. They haven't started to peel yet or fray. No loose threads or tears. Great sheets!" — Susan "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well, he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman Get a set of queen sheets from Amazon for $34.97+ (available in sizes twin–California king, plus sets with deep pockets for taller mattresses and 45 colors/patterns). 7. And a pair of *affordable* down-alternative cooling pillows if even your A/C — set to a crisp 68 degrees — is no match for your night sweats. Promising reviews: "Ok. I'm gonna own it...I really took a leap of faith from my regular pillows. I never would have spent more than $10 for a pillow so for me to purchase these I had to really ponder for a few now all I can say the heck took me so long??? I haven't slept like this since... 1994!!! No readjusting... no sweaty head... just a peaceful, deep, cool sleep. So when my good friend came to stay the night, I gave her one of them to sleep on. She got up the next morning and ordered a set. I plan to replace every pillow in my house. I'm in a pillow!" — Patricia L. Page Get a set of two from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in Queen and King sizes). 8. A cropped tank that gives you wire-free support without any squashing! Idk about you, but I've found that's something surprisingly hard to find. Promising review: "I was looking for a Lululemon Align tank [alternative], and this is it! I'm honestly surprised this top hasn't gotten more attention because it is such a gem!! I love activewear and I'm very impressed by the quality of this top for the price. The fabric is so soft, stretchy, and opaque yet sleek enough that it won't pill. I'm 5'6, and this top hits me right above my waist, so I can comfortably wear high-waisted leggings/pants without a ton of midriff being exposed. There is a lot of structure to the top which aids in providing medium support and functionality to the top even without adjustable straps. I'm hoping the straps won't stretch out, but the bra band inside is tight yet comfortable. Even the foam cups are nice! Because of the design, I'm not sure how this top would perform for bigger cup sizes, as I do have a bit of side boob. Nothing I can't adjust, but I can see this being an issue for larger-chested girls. I am just so in love with the sweetheart neckline and sleek silhouette, and I'm very pleased with this purchase😁 This is a great staple piece for anyone who's ballin on a budget. Do not hesitate to buy this top!" — Allie Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 29 colors). 9. A pack of medicated bandages laced with salicylic acid to target both common warts and plantar warts. Just reapply every 48 hours until your wart is no more! Promising review:"This worked for me. Here's what happened. First bandage: Everything turned white. Second bandage: The top layer of the wart started disappearing and I could see the blood vessels that were inside it clearly. Third bandage: It started burning while wearing it. One day was REALLY painful, but now I think I just put the bandage on too tight. There was definitely burning though. Uncomfortable, not unbearable. Fourth bandage: The skin around the wart started to crack. Fifth bandage: The skin continued to crack and I could see the wart separating. Sixth bandage: Skin separating deeper. Wart was really soft but it wouldn't budge. Seventh bandage: The wart stuck to the medicine, so when I pulled off the bandage, the wart went with it. I'm left with some raw skin that's a bit sensitive but it feels fine. It looks like the entire wart came off, roots and all. Side note: It smells horribly. Make sure you put the bandage on tight enough to try and conceal the smell, but not so tight it hurts. Overall, not a horrible process. Make sure you follow the instructions and keep it on for 48 hours at a time. Two of mine were only on for 24 hours and I think that prolonged the process." — Chelsea Gipson Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $6.96. 10. Some COSRX Snail Mucin Repairing Essence which addresses dullness and dehydration with, yes 😌, 96% snail sludge that's harvested in a *100%* ethical and environmentally friendly way. Thanks for sharing the goods, friends! 🐌 Promising review: "So I have been using this for a month, and I have to say — AMAZING. It really has helped my dark spots, which are also tied to my hormones. So the fact that it lightens them and keeps them from getting dark again during my period is a testament to the power of this stuff. Plus, this stuff just keeps going!! One pump is enough for my face, or two for my face and neck. Because of this, it will last! It works amazingly well, and considering how much you get, this is an amazing product. I highly recommend it." — JH And here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "I use this on my skin and definitely have noticed results! While it didn't help kick my all of stubborn pre-period hormonal acne, it has done *wonders* with reducing redness on my face, particularly around my nose, and in dealing with my pores. Since I started using it, my primer and foundation goes on a whole lot smoother, and I'm struggling a whole lot less to cover my pores. After using it a few weeks, I read the advice of one reviewer to put this on when your face is slightly moist from washing, rub it in, let it dry, and then put your moisturizer on top of it — I've found that it's what got me the best results!" Get it from Amazon for $19.20. 11. A reviewer-beloved anti-dandruff shampoo if you've had to press pause on wearing anything black because it looks like you've been caught in a snowstorm. Read more about ketoconazole shampoo at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"If I could give this product more than 5 stars, then I would!! My husband has suffered from extreme dandruff/Psoriasis for years to the point that he would pick constantly at his scalp. I would be able to visually see large sores and peeling skin chunks constantly, no matter what shampoo/treatment he would use. I found this product by chance and told my husband about it, who was willing to give it a chance. After two shampoos, he said that he absolutely noticed a difference and did not feel that he had to scratch his scalp. His sores healed within a week, and now he has a clean, itch- and flake-free scalp!" — Tabitha C. Get it from Amazon for $15.88. 12. A Baby Foot Exfoliating Foot Peel that's SO effective, the before and after photos will both give you nightmares and earn a spot on your vision board. If foot graters give you the heebie-jeebies (hi, hello, it's me!), try these instead. Just slip on the booties for one hour, wash away the leftover solution (there are 16 natural extracts), and then wait patiently as it takes five to seven days before your feet shed like a freakin' iguana. At the end, you'll be left with moisturized, baby-soft tootsies! Promising review: "WOW. Just WOW! I rarely take the time to write product reviews, but, honey, this stuff is the real deal. My feet were gross. Thick skin, crusty-looking. A friend told me about this stuff, so I decided to try it. I showered and then put on the 'boots' and taped them closed, and covered my feet with two layers of socks so the gel wouldn't seep out. I waited an hour, then took them off. They didn't look any different. So, I patiently waited to see some action. Today is the third day, and I cannot believe my eyes! The skin is literally coming off in big sheets. If you are the kind of person who loves peeling skin and wants to see a drastic difference, you should buy this stuff. I love it so much I want to buy it for people. Even people I don't like. LOL. I know a lot of people with gross feet, who I think this would be perfect for. Don't walk. RUN and buy this stuff." — Annie Get it from Amazon for $25. 13. A Conair fabric defuzzer powerful enough to remove pills and matted fibers from your sofa (and even clothes) but gentle enough that no damage is left in its wake. The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. Promising review:"Okay, I don't normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I'm obsessed. I can't stop. I should send this back. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. Everyone needs to own this." — Sydney Jensen Get it from Amazon for $13.25+ (available in five colors and two styles). 14. A trendy tote bag that looks quite a bit like Longchamp's much, much more expensive Le Pliage. For the price of one of those suckers, you could buy six of these! Promising review: "I absolutely love this bag!! I needed something to use when I'm traveling, especially for when I go to trade shows and meetings. I've always lugged my backpack everywhere and finally got fed up with it on a trip this past week. I also wanted something that was classy looking and had a full zipper. I love the material because it's easy to clean. It looks almost exactly like the Longchamp bag too which is the main reason why I got it. I've actually been using it daily by putting my small purse in it and am able to put other things in it as well (small jacket, water bottle, small reusable bag, etc.) It has two inner pockets which are near the top of the bag. One is zipped and one isn't. It stays on my shoulder and doesn't slip off, unlike other bags I've had. I'm curious to see how well it holds and for how long, but so far I'm very impressed and very happy with the quality!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in four colors). 15. Elizavecca's Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment — it works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The Ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you've got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that's susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say the $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3! Simply apply it on wet hair after a shampoo, wait five minutes, and rinse it out. It's designed to work on all hair types, with reviewers with 2b to 4c curls mentioning it worked for them! Check out a TikTok TikTok of the Elizavecca hair treatment in action! Promising review:"I saw this on TikTok, and in between other comparable products that were four times the price, I decided to bite the bullet and buy this — let me tell you, best decision ever! I shampooed my hair, then heavily massaged this in, from ends to scalp. The carton says 5–20 minutes... But I ended up leaving it in for two days! And after washing it out, my hair was so shiny, bouncy, and CURLY! My curl recovery journey has been long, but this has helped restore so much vibrance and shape to my hair. My mom has been stealing it from my bathroom every couple of days, after having similar results on her hair. Going to need to buy a few more to ward her off." — Chisso Check out our full Elizavecca hair treatment review for more deets! Get a bottle from Amazon for $7.10. 16. A miracle-working, deodorizing carpet shampoo so freaking good, it'll have your flooring looking like it was just installed yesterday. Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small biz. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo! Promising review:"I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two sizes). 17. A stretchy bodycon pencil dress that'll basically feel like a second skin. Some reviewers say they were considering splurging on the Skims version until they tried this and loved it just as much! Reviewers agree that if you want it fitted, size down. Promising reviews: "I saw this girl wearing this exact style of dress with a Skims tag on the back, and honestly, it made me so grateful that I purchased this dress instead. It looks exactly like the Skims version, and I could be biased, but the material of this dress looked better than the Skims one. If you want it to be a little snug, I would definitely recommend sizing down one size from your normal size. So freaking comfortable and made out of thick material." — Kaitlyn "I have the Skims dress in black and wanted to look for a cheaper version, but read reviews and some said that it is a bit looser than expected. I would agree that the small is a bit loose. If you want a snatched look definitely get a size smaller as it is very stretchy. I'm 5' tall so this is a bit long on me, even when I wear heels. In comparison to the Skims, the material is smoother while Skims has a ribbed texture. You honestly can't tell the difference. Good bang for your buck if you ask me!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in women's sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors). 18. A TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won't stop. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $11! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines, and this one seemed to have the best ratings. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good, and even my son was so impressed that he bought one. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $99.99. 19. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer guarantees that the next time you spend a whole afternoon nailing a Mikayla Nogueira look, it won't immediately melt off your face the second you step foot outdoors. Promising review:"Due to a thyroid condition I lost all the hair on my face, including my eyelashes and eyebrows. So my makeup routine has changed significantly in the last four years. Starting with a completely blank canvas every morning definitely has its challenges, and having no eyebrows at all has been my biggest struggle. Eyebrows frame your entire face, they are the primary components in facial expression and have a huge impact on how we communicate non-verbally. I don't mind not having eyelashes, but eyebrows actually have a significant impact on my ability to properly communicate with the world around me. I have tried thousands of eyebrow products from pens, pencils, pomades, even sticker brows trying to create eyebrows that look like my natural hairs. Even when I found products I was satisfied with, my oily skin would have my brows gone by noon. I know this is mainly designed to be used as an eyeshadow primer, but this primer has been my holy grail for keeping my 'eyebrows' looking just as good at the end of the day as when I first step out in the morning. And because a little goes a long way, I only need to use a tiny amount. One tube literally lasts me almost 2 years. So for anyone out there looking for a product that can help you to create natural-looking eyebrows that stay put for 24 hours, even with oily skin, THIS is your answer. Hopefully my review will help someone else as much as the review I read that led me to discovering this primer years ago. =)" — ✨Harley_Q✨ Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 20. A pair of lightweight legging-style joggers reviewers say are comparable to Lululemon Align Joggers — but for less than 30 bucks. 💃 🤸 Promising review: "These are literally the best leggings/joggers I have ever owned, and I plan to eventually buy every single color. I originally saw these on TikTok and heard they were like the Lululemon ones but cheaper. I've never owned Lululemon leggings, but if they feel anything like these, then I have clearly been missing out. These are soft and absolutely perfect. I love the pockets and jogger style and that they fit like leggings and can be worn to the gym or dressed up with a cute outfit. I need to buy every color of these before they're gone!" — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in women's sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). 21. A 20-pack of melamine sponges that may not have a fancy brand name, but clean just as well as their competitors. Simply wet the nonabrasive sponge, wipe down whatever kitchen surface needs some TLC, and then rinse it to use again! Promising review:"I've been a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser fan for a long time. My husband works with metal and works on cars so there is oil, grease, etc. everywhere in our house... and the bathtub is awful. They were the only thing to get rid of it. UNTIL I FOUND THESE! 1 MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE MAGIC ERASERS. Hardly have to scrub to get the tub clean now. I've used one for three bathtub cleanings, and I'm sure I will get at least five more uses out of it. I'd get maybe 1.5 cleanings from the other brand. I'll never buy another brand again other than these. They will last forever — the package was much bigger than expected for the price. Just buy them... worth it!" — Briana M. Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $13.45. 22. A pair of magnetic fridge shelves you can slap to the side of your fridge and not have to think about again. It's a great option for renters since you don't have to go drilling any holes or YouTubing any videos on how to use a stud finder. Promising review: "I highly recommend this product! We struggled with finding the best place to keep my husband's many, many spices and seasonings and we didn't want something that sits on the counter as we are already short on counter space. I also didn't want something that hung on the wall above the stove as it would get greasy and gross from cooking splatter. These magnetic shelves are the perfect solution, fit plenty of containers without worry of any falling out, and the magnets are very strong but not so strong that I feel it's damaging my fridge. They're also very easy to remove/clean when needed and reposition if necessary. Highly recommend." — Michelle N. Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sets of two, four, and six and in 15 colors). 23. Some milky "nail concealer" polish in a sheer, buildable shade TikTok is absolutely obsessed with. Promising review: "I'm a girl who works outside, and I don't mean I have a cute little herb garden. I live in the woods and am constantly hauling limbs that have fallen and processing them into firewood. I'm using power tools. I'm legit IN the dirt, filthy by the end of the day, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but somehow, this polish lasted an entire WEEK of that abuse. I did use a base coat first, just FYI. But this stuff is AMAZING. It's the perfect mani for gals who need a mani but don't really want one, ya know? I can slap this on, work all day, scrub my manicured hands with a nail brush, and head out for cocktails, looking like I still live in LA. Great work, Londontown. 100 stars!!!" — Jessica Mayer Get it from Amazon for $19+ (available in five colors). 24. A flat outlet plug that can be placed behind furniture or in other areas where you'd like to eliminate some cord clutter. Promising review: "So first off, I have to say this is a genius idea! I highly recommend this product because it completely solves the issue of wasting two perfectly usable outlets behind cabinets or shelves!! Not to mention, each extension cord has an extra three plugs, so you literally get triple the number of plugs from one outlet. The only slight drawback I would say is the high price. But honestly, it's so worth it. I bought two sets for the two outlets that have been hidden away behind two bookshelves. I spent the weekend installing them, and I now have 12 additional plugs that I can use!! Huge difference!" — Kevin Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in 12 different lengths/styles). 25. A pouch of foaming garbage disposal cleaner to eliminate the special stank that can only be produced after years of shredding up meat, produce, and whatever that mystery blob was that came out of your long-lost Tupperware. Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work, eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long. Promising review: " This disposal cleaner works like a charm. Gets rid of the nasty smell and cleans well. I know it's doing a great job cleaning because I can see the blue foam in both my sink drains during usage. I let the blue foam sit in the sink drains for 5 or 10 minutes before rinsing it. I just prefer to do that because I feel it makes the cleaner more effective. After doing so, I just rinse the sink and disposal with fresh hot water, and everything (including my stainless steel sink) looks and smells great!! I highly recommend it and will continue to use and buy as needed!!☆☆☆☆☆" — Natalie Get it from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in packs of one, two, three, or six). 26. A set of snap-on sheet labels if nothing sends you into a red-hot rage quicker than reaching into your linen closet and pulling out every single fitted sheet *except* for the one you're looking for. Snap On Bedding Label / Etsy Snap On Bedding Label is a small business run by Sunny Williams, a busy mom who wanted to spend less time finding the right sheets. The best part? The snap-on labels don't require sewing or ironing, won't damage your sheets, and can be reused when your old sheets need to be replaced. Promising review:"These little snap tags have helped me organize my linen closet in a way I never thought possible! We have white sheets for every size bed in our home, and now I can tell the twins from the doubles and the queens from the kings! A tight snap that allows the sheets to go into the washer still tagged — genius!" — Janine Molinaro Get a four-pack from Snap On Bedding Label on Etsy for $11.73 (available in sizes Twin–King). 27. A two-piece airbrush foundation and kabuki brush that delivers a lightweight, buildable, and flawless finish. Reviewers say a little goes a long way, too, so you don't have to worry about the spray-on formula going too fast. Jerome Alexander is a small business that specializes in airbrush cosmetic products. Promising review: "At first I ordered the wrong shade and had to order the fair shade. OMG! This stuff is amazing. A little goes a long way and you want to do it in sections because it does tend to dry quickly. I used circular motions around my face and eyes and ALL the imperfections disappeared. I had a couple of stubborn spots but an extra application in those areas removed everything. My skin was clear, bright and healthy looking. Almost a 'glow' without the fake highlighter look. The best part is how quick and easy it is. FAST! No more pounding with a sponge to get results. I can do my whole face (with elaborate eye makeup) in about 10 minutes from start to finish. Use a good setting powder with it and it will not budge all day. It feels light and it doesn't clog your pores. It felt so light on me I almost forgot to wash my face before bed. Forgot I was wearing makeup! I sweated through 97 degrees this week and not once did it move, slide or wear off. Definitely a good deal. Honestly, I would pay $35–$40 for this stuff and not blink an eye at it. High quality with a reasonable price. I highly recommend. Buy two." — Cheryl And here's what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say: "HELLO — I found this through a recommendation on a Reddit beauty forum for people in their thirties, and I am OBSESSED. I am not very skilled with makeup and was intimidated by the brush factor, but it's nearly foolproof. This foundation straight-up glosses over my pores and redness and makes my skin look so even-toned and natural that it doesn't look like I used much foundation at all. It's a bit price-y compared to brands I used in the past, but I'm still on my first bottle of it, and it's been three full months. I hope this never stops getting made. It is so lightweight and lovely and has made my makeup routine feel like a TREAT." Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in 10 shades). 28. A nifty bulb changer because man, do you love your vaulted ceilings, but changing out light bulbs can be a daunting task! Rather than perch at the top of a step ladder and cross your fingers for success, just grab one of these guys which works on ceilings up to 20 feet tall. Just so you know, this is only the gripper tool — not the pole. If you need the pole, you can select that style in the listing. Promising review: "We have 10-foot ceilings, and one of our overhead floodlights was starting to blink on and off. I have an 8-foot ladder but rather than hauling that into the house and climbing up on it, I got online to see what I could find. I had an old 10-foot car wash pole and that worked perfectly with the bulb changer — so much easier than the hassle of a ladder. After replacing my bad light, I then wondered about changing my stairway light 16 feet up from the stairs landing. Luckily, we had bought a second-story window-washing kit a couple of months ago, which included a four-piece extending pole, so I thought I would try that out and see how it would be. It's a little tricky holding steady that high up, but when the need arises, I think it'll work just fine. So all-in-all, I'm quite happy with this, and it'll make a great tool to keep stored away waiting for the next light bulb failure." — Patrick Get it from Amazon for $19.83+ (available in three styles and with the pole). 29. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner you can spritz on your shower walls and tub after you're done cleaning yourself. Leave it on overnight — no scrubbing necessary — and just wash it off the next time you're in the shower! Promising review: " 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 Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents). 30. A baroque-inspired mirror — with a gorg gilded frame — if you've long dreamt of owning ***that*** Anthropologie mirror but don't want to take out a second mortgage on your home in order to do so. Promising review: "I hopped on the gold ornate mirror trend and spent a long time trying to find one within my budget. I was worried at first because there weren't any reviews when I first bought this. It looked amazing online and was the perfect size, so I went ahead and got it. I am THRILLED with this purchase!!! One of the best things I've gotten from Amazon. It's beautiful and exactly how it looks in the pics. It came four-ish days faster than estimated. It's perfect for my makeup desk. If there were different sizes of the same mirror, I would buy all of them." — McKinlee Mayer Get it from Amazon for $85.89+ (available in four sizes and finishes). 31. A vegan silk pillowcase that not only offers a cooling effect, but is soft on your skin and creates less friction so your hair won't get as tangled while you sleep. Promising review: "Makeup artist and esthetician in training here! I adore this pillow. I was searching high and low for a good quality, affordable, and REAL silk pillow. After months of research online for the best option, I chose this pillow. It's 100% real mulberry silk on both sides, has a hidden zipper, and it doesn't slide around!!! It's not only helped my hair not tangle, but the acne that I normally get on my cheeks from being a side sleeper has diminished almost completely (due to the anti-microbacterial properties of mulberry silk). Also I've noticed my skin looking ever so slightly plumper and more hydrated. I t also stays cool through the night." — J. Thompson Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors). 32. An FDA-approved doggie sunscreen so ALL members of your family can enjoy time in the sun without worry. Even if your pup doesn't have white or fair fur, it's great for snouts, bellies, and scars! Amazon, Read more about why dogs need sunscreen at American Kennel Club, and be sure to patch test to be sure it doesn't cause an allergic reaction. Promising review: "This stuff really works. I've tried several other dog-safe 'sunscreens' and none of them were effective. My dog has a scar on his snout from before he was rescued off the streets as a puppy, and because he has no fur covering that section, it easily turns pink and blisters and bleeds when he's in the sun. Plus, my vet was concerned that he could develop skin cancer with all the constant sun exposure. But all of the pet-safe sunscreens I could find didn't have any ingredients that would actually block UV rays, and all the ones that had effective sun-blocking ingredients weren't pet-safe, so it seemed like a catch-22. It took me a long time to find one that both worked effectively and was safe. This is it! It doesn't irritate his skin at all. We can go to the beach for a couple of hours, and his skin looks just as good as it did at the beginning of the day, whereas in the past it would have burnt. So glad to have found this product." — sknappy1 Get it from Amazon for $17.28. 33. An ingenious steam-cleaning grill brush to eliminate all the build-up and gunk from bygone BBQs. It cleans just as effectively as a steel wire bristle brush, but it's dishwasher safe! Amazon Promising review: "My first use was on my griddle, which I had previously cleaned, at least I thought I had. I heated the griddle above 400 degrees, wet the brush, and passed it back and forth on the griddle, and loads of steam just removed all the grime from the surface that I did not know was still there. The result was a perfectly clean griddle. I was so impressed with the brush that I bought two more as spares. I also used the brush on my pellet grill and had the same result: a perfectly steam-cleaned grill. My griddle cleaning time after cooking is probably done in about a minute. I put water in a bowl, dip the brush in it, and pass the brush back and forth across the entire surface, and then repeat and do it a second time, and I am done. The brush may be dipped in the water a few times during cleaning to get optimum steam cleaning, but that's it — quick and simple." — Martygraw Get it from Amazon for $15.95. 34. And some cabinet paint if you're looking for a BIG change despite your small budget. One reviewer says the kit saved them $12,000 and they were able to complete the project on their own!!! The kit comes with two cans of cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush; it requires no stripping, priming, or top coat or sealer, and there's no need to remove your cabinet doors. Promising review:"Amazing! Amazing! Amazing. Did take more than one coat, though. My cabinets were bare wood, and I still needed a couple of coats. My kitchen is medium-sized, not too big, and it only took one can. This took my kitchen from looking like a cheap rental apartment kitchen to a high-quality kitchen with just this paint and new knobs. The paint is perfect for cabinets — it's not too thick, so you still see the wood grains. It comes with EVERYTHING you need. I didn't have to buy a thing. The project is super easy, the paint dries fast, and I did it at first by removing the cabinets, but it wasn't necessary at all. I would recommend EVERYONE to purchase this and give your cabinets a chance before making a big investment in new cabinets. Wood is wood, and it can be refinished." — Brandon Moronta Get it from Amazon for $36.95+ (available in 11 colors and two styles). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.

48 Things That'll Make This Year's Spring Clean The Easiest One Yet

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. You'll be done in no time thanks to these helpful products. 1. A tub of The Pink Stuff because tough messes don't always need tough effort. This internet-famous scrub works on sinks, stovetops, tiles, sneakers ... basically anything that needs a deep clean. Just dab it on, give it a quick scrub, and be amazed at how well it works. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 2. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! Promising review:"I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try it after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in white or black). 3. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. Promising review: "Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when they need to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle, and a spray will shoot out at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles. Gladly recommend." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 4. Or a flat mop that basically cleans itself, so you don't have to touch the grimy mop head (bless). The compact design makes it great for tight spaces, and the reusable microfiber pads mean you can keep your floors and walls sparkling without hauling out a giant mop setup every time. Amazon, Promising review: "This mop is freaking awesome! My bathroom was being renovated so I bought this to wash the walls when it was done. Works awesome! I've used it on the floor as well. I love that you can wash the microfiber cloth. I would definitely recommend this product!!!" — Layla Get it from Amazon for $31.57+ (available in two sizes and many pad options). 5. A Goo Gone kitchen degreaser to cut through greasy buildup like it's personally offended by it. Use it on stove tops, cabinet doors, backsplashes ... anywhere there's a noticeable (and suspicious) shine. It sprays on, wipes off, and leaves behind nothing but the amazing feeling of a kitchen that's actually clean. Promising review:"The tops of my cupboards had been cleaned maybe once in 15 years. They were disgusting with grease and dust that I thought I'd never get off. Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray, and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!" — JC Get it from Amazon for $7.34+ (available in two sizes). 6. A toilet bowl ring remover if you haven't cleaned your toilet bowl in a reaaalllllly long time. That permanent dark ring? It's no match for this pumice stone on a stick! Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of two and four). 7. A pack of duster sponges that fit perfectly into blinds, baseboards, vents, railings, and all those annoying little grooves you find around your home. Just add water and swipe — the dust and grime come right off without any fuss. BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has this to say about them: " I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and packs of two, four, and eight). 8. A tub of 90 heavy-duty cleaning wipes to take on grease, tar, ink, paint, and other stubborn messes (because sometimes you need more than a paper towel and a prayer). These oversized wipes are soaked in a powerful cleaning solution that cuts through gunk on pretty much any surface. My colleague Mallory Mower uses these and thinks they're great: These are my guilty pleasure cleaning product. I have everything from reusable paper towels to reusable napkins, but every once in a while I need to deep speed-clean surfaces and these do an impeccable job. They're super durable, so one wipe goes a long way and one canister will last you ages! Promising review:"I absolutely love Tub O' Towels. The towels themselves are huge and they smell like citrus goodness. They cut grease, clean up cat messes (you know what I mean), dirty bathroom sinks, tubs, funky countertops, the list is endless. I live with teenage boys and these towels hold up." — Joann Stallbaumer Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in two styles). 9. A carpet cleaner machine formula that acts as a deep stain remover and odor deodorizer for carpets that are covered in stains. This is an especially amazing product if you think your carpets or rugs are unsalvageable but still have a glimmer of hope that that's not true. This is the product that'll get the job done. Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small business. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo! Promising review:"I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and three scents). 10. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 11. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 12. A Chomp wall cleaner that comes with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads. You will feel like such a superhero when you use this, wiping away years of dust, grime, and weird handprints you didn't even realize were that high up. Promising review:"This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over, and a limited income and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" — Lou DeJesus Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 13. An instant mold and mildew stain remover spray to take your patio, siding, or outdoor furniture from "abandoned for decades" to "ready for guests" in seconds. Just spray it on and watch the gunk disappear like magic. It's powerful, a little smelly, and kind of a miracle if you've been neglecting your exterior for who knows how long. Promising reviews:"This product is amazing! I used it one time, and it got the job done. There is a space in my window that is poor fitting and allows condensation. I would highly recommend this product." — Savi "It rains almost every day during the Summer in Florida. By the end of Summer, my cool deck was green with mold around the perimeter. I was about to pay to have someone power wash my deck but found RMR-86 on Amazon. I purchased a bottle and sprayed all the areas that had mold and mildew. RMR-86 started working within minutes, right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." — Marie Moore Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes). 14. A touchless vacuum because dustpans are annoying and you deserve better. Just sweep debris toward its base, and the infrared sensors kick in to suck it all up. It's especially great in high-traffic areas where the floor somehow gets dirty five minutes after you clean it. 15. A sink plunger that'll unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed it for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like, a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole, and if you aren't expecting,g it will have a mess." — A Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in small and large sizes). 16. Or a drain clog remover to *literally* pull months of gunk out of your drain(s). It's long, flexible, and covered in little barbs that grab hair and gunk so you don't have to. Just poke, twist, and enjoy not standing in ankle-deep mystery water anymore. Promising review:"When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh-so-rewarding job." — Chocolate and Chips Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles and different packs). 17. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magic bright blue foam to rid your disposal of nastiness and lingering smells. You just plop one of the packets into the drain, and then it does its wizardly thing. After a minute or two, it's over, and your kitchen sink looks and smells amazing. Amazon This foam is a cleaner that helps eliminate bad smells, but it's best to call a plumber if your garbage disposal is clogged. Promising review:"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." — KS Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.60. 18. A compressed air duster to blast away dust stuck in keyboards, vents, window sills, and every other spot you've conveniently ignored for months (I'm not judging). It's cordless, rechargeable, and super satisfying to use. 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. 19. A pressure washer that'll make grimy surfaces like new again, especially after an especially harsh winter. From mildew on fences to stained concrete and outdoor furniture, this will help tackle difficult cleaning tasks that you thought couldn't be remedied. Promising review: "This washer was easy to set up and operate. I bought it to pressure wash the railings on my back patio, but once I saw how well it worked, I ended up doing my patio furniture, stone patio, steps, a stone wall, garage doors, and one side of my house. It took several hours to do all that, but it was really satisfying. Some of it was seven years worth of grime and some was only two years. This machine handled it all. I plan to do it all once a year to keep it looking great." — nylon21 Get it from Amazon for $199. 20. A bottle of grout cleaner to deliver the kind of transformation usually reserved for makeover shows. If your grout's gone from white to "what even is that," this miracle in a bottle will lift the yuck and leave you wondering why you didn't do this years ago. Clean-Eez is a small business that makes cleaning products for the home. Promising review:"I used this on my bathroom grout which, is off-white, or should i say should be off white. With kids and pets, the grout was no longer its natural color. I used this stuff the other day and it's like it was just grouted. I've been telling everyone who wants to hear how well it worked. When I get time I'm going to do my kitchen floor." — Danielle Cooper Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 21. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top so you can keep your bathroom cleaning supplies organized. Cleaning can be so exhausting, so do yourself a favor and keep your supplies organized so that you don't expel energy trying to find all your cleaners and tools. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (available in chrome or bronze). 22. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to clean and deodorize your machine because every once in a while, the thing that cleans your dishes needs to be cleaned itself. Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! These remarkable cleaners will leave your dishwasher glistening and odor-free. Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smelled out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was weary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks and my dishes come out crystal clear after." — Courtney E. Delong Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $18.95. 23. A natural, plant-based bathroom cleaner that uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.99. 24. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the floor, and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 25. An all-natural stainless steel cleaner that will finally remove all the grime and fingerprints from the stainless steel stuff in your kitchen. Sinks, fridges, garbage cans, finally be as clean as the first day you moved in. Aaaand it smells like lavender! You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle. My former colleague Brittany Ross says, " I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too." Promising review: "This is a miracle worker on stainless. I have tried everything to get my stainless to shine like it should, even the home remedies, which do NOT work — sorry but they don't. This stuff is the best I have tried. I follow a girl on TikTok who recommended it and she has been right 100% on her Amazon recommendations. She nailed it again. You will love this stuff." — Amazonwoman Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs). 26. A no-rinse coil cleaner because even your AC needs a spring refresh. Just spray it on your indoor coils (usually behind a panel) and the thick foam gets to work loosening dust, gunk, and mystery grime. It doesn't need rinsing — your system's condensation takes care of tat — and it even leaves behind a light lemony scent so things feel fresher, not just cleaner. Promising review:"Works like magic! I have a Sub-Zero refrigerator with the evaporator at the top. I looked and saw the amount of lint and grime that had built up. There were several versions of this type of product, I bought this — one of the less expensive versions — and it worked exceptionally well. I have no idea where all of the stuff goes — but when this spray hits it, it disappears. There is probably enough of the stuff in the can to do three or four refrigerators, so I passed it onto my neighbors, who were impressed, too." — MatBo911 Get it from Amazon for $18.39 (also available in a two-pack). 27. A pack of slow-release toilet cleaner tablets that'll bleach-blast away stubborn gunk like rust, grime, limescale, and whatever else is lurking in your tank. One tablet will help deodorize and descale with every flush, so your toilet stays fresher, longer, with zero effort from you. Each tablet can continuously clean the toilet for up to 15 days with 20 flushes a day. Promising review: "I like this product and I have ordered it again. It is effortless to use and it cleans well. The toilet bowl remains spotless without brushing and the water remains clear. There is the smell of bleach though, which some folks may not like, no problem for me. Product is effective and is good value for the money." — G. P. C. Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $16.99. 28. Or a pack of all-natural toilet fizzies for anyone who'd rather skip the bleach and instead go the botanical route. These are basically bath bombs for your toilet, made with essential oils like eucalyptus, lemongrass, or peppermint — so your bathroom ends up smelling more like a holistic spa and less like .... well, a bathroom. MW Botanical is a woman-owned small business based in California making all-natural products for the home. Promising review: "Pleasant oder, cleans the toilet well. Like it. Will order again when I run low. Highly recommended." — Andrew Stoeppler 29. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscience) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up 100 single-use pads. These are only compatible with the Swiffer Sweeper and WetJet models. Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $9.99. 30. A length-adjustable pet hair broom because it's that time of the year when dogs and cats are shedding more than usual, and you need something to rake it all up. Because the bristles are rubber, it picks up way more hair than a traditional broom. Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, Want more info? Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review. You'll learn a thing or two AND enjoy some very satisfying hair removal photos! Promising review:" I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can't always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." — Theo A Get it from Amazon for $10.76+ (available in four styles). 31. A leather cleaner that will make your cracked, sad-looking sofa furniture look like it just got back from a wellness retreat. It gently removes dirt and grime from furniture, car interiors, and even handbags, all without drying anything out. You can also use it on faux leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber. Promising review:"My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." — jellybean55 Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes). 32. A bottle of Wet & Forget outdoor cleaner to tackle mold, mildew, moss, and algae so you can reclaim your outdoor space. You mix it with water, spray it on decks, siding, walkways — wherever unwanted green and black stains have taken hold — and let it do the rest. Over time, wind and rain gently wash away the stains, leaving surfaces clean without any scrubbing or rinsing. It's bleach-free, non-acidic, and safe for virtually any outdoor surface. Tougher stains could take several months to go away, and if needed, you can re-spray 1–2 months after the first application. Promising review:"I have a brick patio. When I bought this house, it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April, I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August, and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow, does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH Get it from Amazon for $19.70. 33. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains, all without the annoyance of a cord. Like the tens of thousands of positive reviewers, I, too use this to take on heavy duty cleaning. Everything from deep cleaning my rugs to taking care of major messes on my kids' carseats. It's truly a lifesaver! Promising review:"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 Get it from Amazon for $123.59. 34. A Pikk-it tool that's basically a tiny rake for all the gunk wrapped around your vacuum's roller. It pulls out hair, thread, and whatever else your floor's been hiding. It's simply, it's satisfying, and it'll make your vacuum work waaaay better. Amazon, Promising review: "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 Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 35. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save. Promising review:"I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wash in Tide, and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" — Tim S. Get five pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 36. A Chomp! oil stain remover that goes after driveway and garage stains like it has a personal vendetta. Just smear on the thick gel, let it dry, and peel it up. It's heavy-duty help for the kind of stain that you thought was permanent. Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 37. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner; it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 38. A robot mop and vacuum combo that's basically the GOAT of spring cleaning. It vacuums, it mops, it empties itself, and it even scrubs its own mop pads. Yes, it's a splurge, but if you want floors that stay clean without constant effort, this little machine gets it done. Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed This robot vacuum and mop can even be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri! My colleague Samar Hadri has this and swears by it: " I love this mop/vacuum combo! I despise chores (as most people do), and as a busy mom of an infant who also works full-time, keeping on top of cleaning is a lot harder than it seems. Between washing and sterilizing bottles, whipping up meals, and tidying up, I literally find I don't have enough hours in the day for vacuuming or mopping. And then I got this baby. All I have to do is click a single button on the app or activate it via my Google Assistant (I named my robot Squidward, so I can say, "Squidward, start mopping"). The first thing it did was map my home (pictured above), and then it started out the clean cycle. It moped my tile, and once it sensed a rug, it switched to a vacuum, so my precious carpet was spared! I was amazedddd to see how well it cleaned up my floors! Plus, it totally did not crash into any furniture (and with an infant, trust me, there's a lotttt of furniture and gadgets strewn all over the place)!! It's a bit loud when it's emptying itself out, but otherwise, the actual cleaning portion of it is fairly quiet. Altogether, Squidward has proven himself to be an absolute time save for me. I highly recommend!" Get it from Amazon for $549.99 (also available in white). 39. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is in good enough shape to keep your clothes clean. All you do is throw one tablet in and it cleans deep inside your machine's pump, valve, tub, drum, agitator, filter, and hose. Promising review:"My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn't come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." — Esta Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98. 40. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor. Promising review:"Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." — LauraP320 Get it from Amazon for $34.96. 41. An Oxo Good Grips brush set because sometimes your sponge just isn't cutting it. The large brush handles grout, stove tops, and shower door tracks, while the smaller one gets into tight corners and around faucets. It even has a built-in wiper blade for clearing out gunk. The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side. Promising review:"Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." — Laura Gail Get it from Amazon for $8.69 (also available in a grout brush). 42. A microfiber duster with an extendable pole and bendable head so you can finally tackle those top shelves, ceiling fans, and air vents. The fluffy microfiber grabs onto dust instead of flinging it around, and the whole thing collapses down small when you're done feeling smug about *finally* removing that colony of spiderwebs. The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes." — M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 43. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Promising review:"Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." — Winged Wolf Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 44. A set of machine-washable microfiber cloths that'll leave glass and mirrors streak- and lint-free after you clean them. The pack comes with green and blue cloths, and to use them you get the green cloth damp and then clean whatever surface you need to, then use the blue cloth to wipe away whatever residue is left over — no need for cleaners, this method successfully cleans your surfaces with just water. Microfiber Wholesale is a family-owned small biz that started in 1946. Since then, the brand has evolved into an e-commerce business that creates and distributes high-quality cleaning products. Promising review: "We have a huge bathroom mirror that is very difficult to clean. I've used everything from a number of cleaners (various foam and sprays), vinegar, microfiber cloths, newspaper, paper towel, etc and nothing would get it completely streak free until now! Best purchase ever." — Sandy O. Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.98. 45. A broom and mop organizer you can put on an empty wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (I'm talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors). 46. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 47. A grooming glove to turn shedding season into a bonding experience instead of a fur-covered fever dream. With soft silicone tips, it gently removes loose hair while giving your pet a soothing massage — like a spa day they didn't even know they needed. From Buzzfeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 48. And a bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to easily remove soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from your fireplace. Promising review:"Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It's a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." — MM Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

With this, you'll get that summery glow without even needing to step outside. Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff.

My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two colors). 4. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to clean out your rental's sink before your landlord decides to dispose of your deposit. And when I say, "clean out your sink" I really in some foam and let it do all the work. That chore is way too gross to do yourself. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get it from Amazon for $3.40 (available in multiple pack sizes). 5.

I purchased after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether *Another* promising review:"This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it's ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in five colors). 6. John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam for folks who know in their heart their bedhead could look beautiful but also know they'll never get into a beauty routine (am I just talking about myself at this point?). This non-sticky product WANTS your hair to look gorgeous, and it's happy to do all the work! Just scrunch it through your wet hair and air-dry your way to a beautifully styled 'do. Reviewers with straighter hair types say the foam helps add voluminous waves to their hair, while those with thicker, wavier hair types say this helps add a bit more definition and shine. This is no longer in my shopping cart — it's being delivered to my door. Promising review: "Love this stuff when I let my hair air dry! Keeps it from going frizzy. I use a lot of John Frieda products!" — JoAnn Get it from Amazon for $8.95. 7.

Promising review:"This is exactly what I was looking for and had no idea it existed until I saw someone mention it on TikTok! Our front walkway gets pretty dark at night, and I was frustrated with trying to remember to turn on the light every evening and off every morning. I looked into those light sensors you can plug in, but our front porch light is under an awning with enough shade that it would have kept the light on 24/7. This little Switchbot solved the problem. I applied it to the indoor light switch and set the time on my phone. It has worked perfectly ever since." — Alecia McLochlin Get it from Amazon for $29.99. 8. A cup rinser for times when you've baaarely used a drinking glass and do not plan on taking the time to put it in the dishwasher. This is also beloved by parents as an easier way to clean the hard-to-scrub curves at the bottom of baby bottles, because the pressure is way better than putting it under the faucet. Amazon, Check out a TikTok of the cup washer in action. To install, you can use the instructions and materials provided to easily hook it up to the hot water line.

Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in six colors). 11.

Just circle what you need and you can find it at a glance! Amazon There is empty space on the sides for any notes, brand favorites, etc. if you're sending someone else out to do the shopping. Promising review:" It really helped when we were out of a grocery item to just circle it on the list for the family, so when I ordered groceries I knew what we needed. It didn't stop the family from putting empty cartons in the refrigerator, but at least they let me know that we were out. LOL." — Live Laugh Love Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 13.

So I came across this and oh my goodness, what a life saver! It doubles as storage and a beanbag chair! We all absolutely love it!!! The material is pretty strong and the zipper works well. Highly recommend!" — Lauren Osborne Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in two sizes and 10 colors). 16. A lovely bottle of Jot coffee concentrate sure to be a fun addition to any coffee fan's growing bean and brew collection.

Jot I am rather certain that there is more Jot than blood in me by this point. After discovering how delicious this stuff is I totally dropped my expensive cafe habits and have stuck to this for my daily cup of coffee. It has a rich taste, is wildly easy to make (just pour a tablespoon into 8 ounces of your favorite base), and the SEXY bottle even makes the inside of my fridge look nice. Get it from Jot for $26 (or subscribe for 25% off; available in six classic flavors and seven limited edition options). 17. Or a Bruvi coffee maker and starter set, so you can start your morning with a hot coffee or tea at the press of a button and enjoy the energy your toddler simply wakes up with. Caffeine, you're too good to us. We don't deserve you. Bruvi This bundle includes a BV-01 coffee brewer, a variety pack of 20 B-Pods®, a premium water filter, and a reusable Japanese knot bag. I switched over to a Bruvi coffee maker after learning about how much mold can end up inside traditional brewers. This machine has a no-contact design, meaning there's never water and beans mixing together to make a mess. I also *love* that it has a "low-acid" setting – this was particularly life-saving for me while pregnant. If you want a machine that's intuitive, sleek and makes a luxurious cup of can't do better than Bruvi! Promising review:"I was a little skeptical about buying Bruvi, but now I have two. I bought a second one for the beach house. No other coffee compares once you've tried it. Simply the best!" — Krystal D. Get it from Bruvi for $348 (originally $398). 18. A moisturizing oil cleanser that'll prep your skin without devoting an hour to an entire skincare routine. This gentle formula is suitable for all skin types and formulated with sunflower and safflower oil, grapefruit oil, ylang ylang, and bergamot. It claims to balance the oils in your skin, relieving inflammation and breakouts. It's also a great waterproof makeup remover that'll provide a protective barrier and moisturizing primer. This woman-owned small business is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Crude cleansing oil moisturizes the skin while cleaning it using natural oils. This allows you to remove makeup and grime from the day without stripping your skin of its natural, healthy oils. That way, you don't have to throw on a thick moisturizer every time you want to wash your face. Promising review:"Can't live without this, I love how clean and smooth my face feels!" — Sandy G. Get it from Crude for $20 (or subscribe for 20% off). 19. A game-changing self-watering planter with nutrient-dense dehydrated soil at the ready for your impulse planting needs. The design includes a water level indicator to make sure your plants always have just the right amount of hydration, even if you're gone for weeks at a time. Plus, it looks unreasonably chic. Plant parents aren't messing around these days. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, Tendril This includes three soil power packs, and air-pruning soil bag, water water-wicking filter, and two ceramic vessels (one with a nonslip rubber ring). I have a Tendril planter, and I *love* it. My husband is a big plant person. I am very good at appreciating terrible at caring for them. If it weren't for this planter, our Calathea would not survive his weekend work trips. The most satisfying thing about this planter is that the design is both aesthetic and functional — the top sinks into the bottom as the water absorbs, both allowing the plants to drink when they need *and* letting you (ahem, me) know when it needs to be refilled. There's even a water level indicator with a poem from your plant's POV. Cute. Get a medium size from Tendril for $149 (available in two other sizes, both on waitlists). 20. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Promising review:" Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 21. A sulfate- and paraben-free dry shampoo *foam* because washing, conditioning, and drying your hair is a LOT — and you don't wanna do a lot! This uses cactus water (that dries in 60 seconds!) instead of powder, so it's gonna give your hair a clean and voluminous look *without* making your scalp look and feel like it's covered in dandruff. Suuure wish I'd known about this stuff sooner. I look like I have gray roots every time I use a typical dry shampoo. Amazon Promising review:"I have very, very fine and fragile hair. It's wavy (2b–2c with some 3a curls mixed in). My ends are dry, and my scalp gets very oily quickly. When the product arrived, I was on second-day hair. I worked the foam through my roots and the sides of my head. The most oily places for me. It was easy to work through, and it smelled fresh and clean. My results were amazing! My roots looked clean, no residue or buildup like powder dry shampoos. My scalp does not itch, and it gives my fine, flat hair a ton of volume. Also, my hair looks thicker when I use it. I usually can't go more than a day or two without washing my hair. With this product, I was able to go four days without washing my hair." — Amelia Tilton Get it from Amazon for $6.27. 22. A touchless vacuum so you can throw that dust pan in the GARBAGE where it belongs. No longer bend and snap every time you sweep! Cat parents also recommend keeping this by your litter box so you can just vacuum up all the litter that inevitably piles up around it. Genius! 23. A Dash rapid egg cooker sure to guarantee you never have to ~scramble~ to prep this potentially tricky dish ever again. "Set it and forget it" is the BEST cooking step. It can make hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, poached eggs, scrambled eggs, and individual omelets. Promising review:"I bought this egg cooker for the first time a year and a half ago, and it is awesome. I hate having a single-purpose appliance in my kitchen, but this is worth it. Making hard-boiled eggs was always hit or miss for me, even if it was timed perfectly. (I admit I forgot about the eggs more than once!) This cooker makes PERFECT eggs every single time, to the exact hardness I desire with no green ring on the yolk. Even better, the shell slides off without taking half the egg white with it! My favorite use is to pop some eggs in when I get home and prep a salad. By the time the salad is ready, the eggs are done. I can even leave the kitchen and still hear when they are done because of the buzzer. I've purchased five more of them for family for Christmas this year and can't wait to get everyone on board the Dash Go Egg Cooker train!" — A. M. Hinshaw Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and nine colors). 24. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker that'll help make all of those beautiful bun hairstyles on your Pinterest board come to life! You can even use it while your hair is damp and enjoy some effortless waves when you take it out! No-effort hairstyles are the best-looking hairstyles. Curlinator Designs / Etsy Curlinator Designs is a North Carolina-based small family biz that specializes in hair accessories. Promising review: "Love it!!! I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, but videos make understanding simple. So much easier to use in the mornings than fixing your hair in a bun!!!" — bld9 Get it from Curlinator Designs on Etsy for $12.75 (available in 18 colors). 25. And a RobeCurls heatless hair curler — this satin-covered rod is designed to curl your hair while you sleep, and it's damage-free! Skip the heat tools and just wrap damp hair around the plush curler at night. Then FALL ASLEEP, and it'll do the rest. Wake up, pull this outta your hair, and enjoy your blowout-worthy bouncy curls. Amazon Emikeni is a woman-founded small business that specializes in heatless hair curling tools. Promising review: "This is a game changer! I have very fine, silky hair and using heat tools on a daily basis is causing too much damage. This product is so easy to use and requires no heat! I recommend buying a small spray bottle and fill it with water. Before bed I usually spray my hair a little bit with water, brush it out, and put the silk rod in. I wear it overnight and barely feel it. Next day I have luscious, voluminous curls!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $27.99 (available in five colors). 26. A root touchup powder great for folks with fine hair who would like the appearance of a fuller hairline *and* for anyone who wants to take longer breaks between coloring appointments. This includes a sponge for applying the powder — just rub it directly onto your hair. I learned about this product when looking for solutions for postpartum hair loss and was awed that this had over 18,000 5-star reviews. Sold. Check it out in action on TikTok here! Promising review:"LOVE! So easy to use and perfect for helping my thinned hairline from postpartum hair loss. I tried a more expensive brand and liked this one more. Definitely recommend it for helping the hairline look fuller. I toss it in my makeup bag and apply quickly." — Catie B. Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (available in two sizes and 14 colors). 27. A set of stove counter gap covers so you can save that insufferable space from the slips and spills that leave stray crumbs on your Because are you figuring out how to tuck in there and clean out that mess? No, no you are not. Promising review:" This worked perfectly to fill the gaps on either side of my stainless steel stove. The product has a protective film over it to protect the stainless steel from being scratched or damaged in transport. All you have to do is peel back the film which is basically a sticker once you're ready to install. Works exactly as advertised (pictured above, right)!" — Sarah K. Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in three sizes and colors). 28. Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray — a super powerful cleaner that just might feel like a dishwasher in a bottle. If your rental doesn't include that vital appliance, this stuff can basically take its place. Just spray your caked-on baking dishes, let this sit, and wipe it away. After a little rinse, you're sure to be stunned by the results. This stuff might even be EASIER than using a dishwasher. Maybe... My BuzzFeed Shopping coworker Elizabeth Lilly has this to say: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16 (includes one spray bottle and three refills). 29. A Revlon hot air brush designed with open-ended vents for optimum airflow, taking your wet, tangled, frizzy hair and turning it into a shiny, salon-style blowout in mere minutes. Getting out the blow-dryer and flat iron are a hassle of the past! Plus, this single-tool solution means less heat damage to your hair! Promising review:"Amazing product. I wish I found this 20 years ago!! I have naturally curly hair and enjoy a nice blowout without having that pin straight 'burnt' flat iron look. This product helped me achieve the blowout look in about five minutes (yes five!). When it comes to hair, I'm a super novice and this is by far the easiest most effective (inexpensive) blowout. I would give this more than 5 stars if I could. Where has it been all my life?!?!" — Sara Kovach Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in four colors). 30. A silicone clip-on strainer that's dishwasher-safe, attaches to any size pot or pan, and is designed to save a bunch of space in your kitchen cupboards. Promising review: "This is easy to use and now that I've had it a few weeks, I don't know how I have lived without. Makes draining anything in water so much easier! Highly recommend." — Melissa L. Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in 17 colors). 31. A self-cleaning litter box, which is gonna prove that the most efficient way to clean out the litter is, funny enough, by not cleaning it yourself at all. Each litter box comes with a pre-portioned package of litter that you pour into the tray. It will start cleaning 20 minutes after it's detected that your cat has left the box. When the tray is full, simply remove it and dispose of it. Promising review:" Admittedly, I am a lazy cat owner. I hate taking the litter out every day. This is a dream. I have one cat and I change this once every month. Very limited smell (I use the purple crystals). This is the only thing I've ever reviewed on Amazon because it's THAT worth it. Worth every penny to not take the trash out every single day. My cat adapted perfectly and he's picky as can be. Everyone needs this. Literally everyone." — Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $199.95+ (available in two styles). 32. A food catcher that attaches onto your child's high chair, so you don't end up scrubbing the floor on your hands and knees after every single meal. Amazon Note: The version linked above is only compatible with the Tripp Trapp high chair, be sure to select the high chair you have on the product page to make sure it works! Promising review: "I cannot adequately express how necessary this product is. We originally purchased a mat to go under the high chair, but then we were still picking up food from the floor, and it still required us to move the mat after every meal to wipe. The Catchy makes it so easily wipeable, and we don't need to remove it every time." — Lauren Reed Get it from Amazon for $59.95+ (available in four colors and versions for other high chairs). 33. Ilia Multi-Stick cream — a multi-use makeup product I was personally influenced to buy after spending too much time on TikTok. If you're looking for makeup that is lightweight, versatile, feels nourishing, and is buildable, you've found it! No need to use a brush either because us low-effort skincare creeps need products without the fuss! I love that (ahem, this) for us. See it in the same TikTok as above about multisticks! When I say it feels nourishing, it's not just a coincidence. This is made with shea butter, softening avocado oil, and a protective (breathable!) orange peel wax. Promising review: "I have been lazy with my makeup routine as of lately, so having a multi-stick and not having to whip out a brush and brush has been so helpful. I like how I can just swipe this on my cheeks and rub in with my fingertips. It gives a beautiful flush to the cheek area. This product has no smell that I can tell, which I am happy for. I love that this product is clean and I can feel good about using it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful and well-made product that is not only good for the world, but good for the face." — Brittany0890 Get it from Sephora or Amazon for $36 (available in 12 shades and radiant or shimmer finishes). 34. Or a 4-in-1 makeup pencil (Live Tinted's Huestick Corrector) to use on your eyes, lips, and cheeks. First, add this before applying foundation to neutralize dark circles. Once that foundation is on, reapply this as a buildable lip color, eyeshadow, or blush. Amazon Live Tinted is a woman-owned business founded by entrepreneur Deepica Mutyala that specializes in clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products for all skin tones. Promising review: "Almost the only makeup you'll need. I was on vacation in Vietnam and Cambodia for almost a month. Besides mascara, this is all l needed for lips, cheeks, and eyelids. The product goes on smoothly, stays pretty well and is so easy to use and go. It is something I will continue to use daily. It makes a big difference, brightening your whole face. It helps make you look like you put forth an effort and care how you look. My favorite color is True." — jeanette p. Get it from Amazon for $26 (available in five shades). 35. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 36. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner — this'll clean your shower and prevent scummy buildup without *any* scrubbing. Because why use elbow grease when you clean? That even sounds dirty! Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.19 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 37. A neck reading light so you can read until you are practically dead asleep and not have to get out of bed to turn off the light, thus risking waking up again. What is it...11 p.m.?! YIKES. We're too old for this. Promising review:"I don't have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use though. And they are so lightweight I forget I'm wearing them! Highly recommended!" — Nini Get it from Amazon for $18.69+ (available in seven colors). 38. A genius automatic bleaching system that'll make cleaning your toilet a chore of the past. Once installed, it sends cleaner into the bowl every time you flush! BTW, one cartridge can last up to three months! Promising review:"I am so tired of spending money on brush heads to clean the toilet bowl. I bought this for our guest toilet. The toilet bowl has been perfectly white and clean for months now. I just bought another one for the other toilet in the house. It should take less than 10 minutes to install, even with trouble. Highly recommend for a clean toilet bowl." — John Glynn Get it from Amazon for $10.59. 39. Or a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp — it's easy peasy to put on *and* makes cleaning your toilet simpler than it's ever been! Mostly because, with this, you won't really be the one cleaning your toilet. Scrubbing Bubbles / Scrubbing Bubbles Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they'd work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting, but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 40. A pack of Downy fabric spray because with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases with ease. BuzzFeed Shopping Writer Danielle Healy says:"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four scents and various sizes/sets). 41. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and clean up!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher. Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in four styles and three colors). 42. A rolling egg dispenser sure to become the practical purchase you didn't know you needed. This saves a surprising amount of space in your fridge *and* makes snatching an egg a cinch, thanks to, weirdly enough, gravity. Check out a TikTok of the egg storage roller in action. YouCopia is a woman-owned small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: " Here it is! The best egg container on Amazon! How can I say that? Easy! Engineering! The slight tilt angle on the bottom of the container that the egg drawer sits on forces eggs to lightly roll forward, keeping all your eggs in the front, and never in the back, where you don't need them. It's super easy to use, so easy to clean, comes apart and can hold a full can organizer on top without issue, so no issues with sturdiness. It can easily hold 14 large size eggs. Easily one of my favorite purchases." — Karingan Get it from Amazon for $16.16+ (available in two styles). 43. A positive daily planner with an appointment tracker, a priority list, meal planner, water intake tracker, and more. If coming up with a list of all the lists you need to make each day keeps you from getting is here to help! Amazon, Each planner comes with 50 tear-off sheets the size of a standard piece of paper. Bliss Collections is a family-owned, Wisconsin-based small biz that specializes in stationery, planners and pads, and drinkware. Promising review:"How did I live without these? Since I began working from home, these sheets are the best. They keep you accountable and I can go back to see what I accomplished each day, since you have to report your daily tasks. About to order for making life easier! — Pame66 Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in nine styles and two sizes). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

Simplify Your Household Cleaning Routine With These 53 Super Effective Products

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. Because (basically) no one has said they'd like to spend more time cleaning. 1. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because nine times out of ten, it'll be easier to reach for a super-effective wipe than figure out which bottle of cleaning solution is best suited for today's mess. These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, WHEREVER. And! They'll clean up grease, oil, tar, dirt, ink, lipstick, nail polish, food, and a whole lot more. Promising review: "Only within a couple seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three, and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." — Sirena Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98 (available in nine sizes/packs). 2. A reusable pet fur remover might just have you tossing your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch. You don't wanna walk out the door with fur all over your behind, only to learn from your work nemesis. Promising review:"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors). 3. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for erasing all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"I have a finished carpeted basement that my dog peed on… mix in that horrible smell and basement smell. I've tried so many products, and nothing worked. Then I tried this and it is the only thing to actually neutralize the smell. For the comments saying that the spray bottle sucks, I think they are using it wrong? Mine worked perfectly fine. Just turn it to a mist setting, and it was perfect for the carpet." — Damian velez Get it from Amazon for $17.96. 4. A pumice cleaning stone to remove all sorts of stubborn rings that've been staring at you every time you're in the washroom. Nope, you do NOT need a new toilet. Your OG just requires some zhuzhing. Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). 5. A car-dedicated wet/dry vacuum (that plugs into the cigarette lighter!) because who has the time to go by the car wash and feed quarters into the vacuum?! Has a 106w motor, strong metal turbine, 16-foot cord, elastic hose, nozzle, and a clear trash compartment so you can see when it's time to empty it. Promising review:"This thing is awesome! I own a 2018 Dodge Durango that sadly does not have leather seats. I own three dogs and it is just a nightmare pulling out my extension cord to vacuum my truck. I can now just plug this little guy into my 12v car outlet and I'm good to go! The power in this vacuum is as good as it's going to get for a car vacuum so if you want extreme suction — buy a shop vac. Also the attachments are fantastic. P.S. I own three dogs — it picks up hair. The spots with sand in the picture are not vacuumed over yet to compare." — Sally Get it from Amazon for $24.72 (available in two colors). 6. A handheld steam cleaner (perfect even if you're in a small space and that's how you can afford to live solo) with a nearly 10-foot-long cord to help you get at all sorts of greasy, stuck-on messes sans chemicals. Promising review: "Cleaned stove top and the hood vents. Then, I had to clean the sticky grease from the sink. Worked very easily and without chemicals. Easy to use and to refill. The attachments make various jobs easy to clean." — Lori Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 7. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger that'll find a spot under sinks around your home for when your double-cleansing (oil-based cleanser first!) nighttime skincare routine wreaks havoc on your bathroom sinks. Yes, I'm talking about myself. Promising review:"Perfect plunger for sink. This plunger fit the bathroom sink with ease. Doesn't take much effort to plunge the sink. You have to plunge a few times but it is so effortless and definitely clears a clog. I would recommend this plunger." — C. Lorenzo Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven styles). 8. A drill brush cleaning kit that'll attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh at the flip of a switch that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. Includes three brushes that'll attached to a standard handheld drill. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York! Promising review:"I'm in love with this. I manage many apartment properties and finding people to do the cleaning has been tricky business, so I end up having to get in and clean these horrendous filth pods tenants lived in and left me to deal with when they move out. The ovens and stove tops are usually the worst, and I absolutely hate cleaning. I came across this drill attachment set, and let me tell you, it helped me tremendously! I still had to get in with a putty knife on some of them but it really cut down my elbow-grease time. If it wasn't for this drill attachment, I think my arms would have just fallen off trying to clean it as good as I did! My only con would be that it doesn't have any extension of any sort, so I really had my drill all up in that oven, but well worth it." — alicia haats Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six bristle types). 9. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally get rid of the gunk that seemed like it would never come off of your stove. The kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper to make it a quick and easy job. Promising review:"This really worked! I I had been using a soft scrub type of cleanser on my glass cooktop. I didn't think this stuff would do much better but I wanted to try it because of all the good reviews. It really works well. I was impressed at the improvement to the look of my cooktop and it definitely works better than just a abrasive cleanser soft scrub type of thing. Will buy again." — Krista Taylor Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in two styles). 10. A incredibly powerful grout cleaner can erase years of nasty buildup that you've just come to live with over the years. Promising review:"We moved into our house a year ago and I've been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. As a last resort I got this and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." — Britney Phillips Get it from Amazon for $ 21.95 11. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray will help you win the good fight against greasy spills and messes. Your oven is about to get a makeover. Promising review:"Wow! A degreaser that actually works! I love the foam, which starts to work immediately on my stove top as well as cookware and other kitchen surfaces." — P. Webb Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes). 12. A wineglass-washing dishwasher attachment in case your dishwasher isn't equipped with a way to keep a wineglass upright and in place OR you don't have enough for your needs. After all, hand-washing stuff you don't absolutely have to is pretty annoying. Wine Wash Co. is a woman-owned small biz that specializes in dishwasher attachments. Promising review: "I had a hard time finding wine glass holders for my dishwasher. My previous dishwasher had built-in holders, but my current dishwasher does not. I got tired of having wine glasses break during dishwashing cycles. These holders are sturdy and fit the bill for standard glasses. They can fold up when not in use. I would not use them for expensive Waterford crystal wine glasses, but they are perfect for everyday glasses. A must-have for wine drinkers!" — Alicia Get a set of four from Amazon for $15. 13. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner + a microfiber cleaning cloth will finally help you get rid of all the little paw and fingerprints that seem to magically appear out of thin air on your kitchen appliances. Check it out in action on TikTok! The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a really long time. Promising review:"This stuff works great... and that's coming from a clean freak. This cleaner/polish works awesome on stainless steel and any other material that the appliance is made of. It comes with a high-quality microfiber cloth, and it smells good. A little goes a long way, so it lasts through daily use." — RMK Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a larger size and two-pack). 14. Some wood polish and conditioner can help turn back time on some water stains because despite your constant reminders, you family can't seem to actually use the coasters and the coffee table for their water glasses. Enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain on finished *and* unfinished wood. For use on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors and trim, etc. Promising review:"Used this to attempt to clean up the 45-year-old solid wood couch that I inherited and reupholstered. Got the water stains off after one application! Perfect!" — Stacey A. Berkin Get it from Amazon for $8.47. 15. An Angry Orange "Filth Cleaner" that'll pretty much sum it up because it gets at alllll kind of nastiness so you have to put in a whole lot less elbow grease. Really, you already spend so much time in the bathroom. You don't wanna clock that much more! Amazon Promising review: "Battling urine smells/stains was becoming a losing battle. I decided to try this due to the good reviews. This product has been excellent. I used it around my toilets and on the floor. The bathrooms have never smelled better. It worked well on the soap scum on the walls of my shower tile as well. The smell is strong, but it does dissipate, and then it's just fresh and clean." — Cornelia Get it from Amazon for $17.75. Also check out the brand's beloved odor eliminator. 16. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your home *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well. Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16. 17. A jar of The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on, scribbled situations like Sharpie on this piece of furniture. Reviewers also used it on outdoor furniture, a metal door, and white walls, just to name a few outdoor surfaces. Promising review:"I tried numerous products to remove this Sharpie marker from my table, and nothing worked, not even to fade it. I got it off in less than five minutes with The Pink Stuff. It did take off a little of the 'shine' that it did have, but it's not too noticeable. I wouldn't use it on shiny wood furniture because of that reason. I also had to apply a lot of pressure to get it all the way off, but I was happy with the results." — Molly Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 18. Grandma's Secret, an under-the-radar solution with serious stain-removing prowess — like, cleaning pen from a white leather couch or all the grime from the shoes you hiked in last weekend. It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few months ago I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out! Promising review:"This stuff is so amazing. I'm a witness. My 2-year-old baby wrote all over my white leather couch. I tried multiple different things and nothing work but Grandma's Secret Spot Remover. I love this stuff." — L. Nix Get two bottles from Amazon for $8.99. 19. Some bleach-free outdoor cleaner to spiff up your walkways and other surfaces you can likely tackle before you break out the pressure washer. Its foamy formula is totally safe around your precious plants Reviewers have successfully used this on fences, mesh outdoor chairs, Sunbrella chair cushions, decks, vinyl siding, and cedar siding. Promising review:"I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." — R. Latreille Get it from Amazon for $10.98. 20. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you simply throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.97. 21. A red-wine stain remover you should keep on hand because, well, accidents happen! But you can be prepared for (at least some of) them! Promising review:"Spilled an entire glass of red wine on my couch last night. Of course I was about to load the entire couch off to the dump, but I remembered I had bought this product probably a year ago and hadn't tried it. The stain literally disappeared before my eyes…and after throwing the cover in the washer and dryer, the stain is 100% gone. I thought for sure there would be a purple cast of color on the cushion. NO. You would never know I spilled an entire glass of wine on this cushion. I wonder if it works best when used immediately? Curious if it would work on old stains. REGARDLESS: it is a miracle product." — Kelly Potter Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in several sizes and in individual wipes). 22. A specific ink remover for removing all sorts of pen accidents on that couch your niblings used as a sketch pad. Promising review:"This was left on my sofa when some ink was smeared. I let it sit overnight and washed it in the washing machine on a warm cycle. I am very shocked at the results. My couch is like brand-new.." — Ayauna Get it from Amazon for $15. 23. A leather stain remover spray can zhuzh up your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative! This also works on Durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux leather, and other leather or leather-like surfaces. Promising review:"Used the microfiber cloth to apply and after the first treatment noted only mild improvement, but after the second treatment (done just after the first treatment dried), the stain was not visible!! I then did the entire chair and the results are great. Advice: Do not scrub the area hard. This may roughen up the leather. Apply lightly and wipe off with another microfiber towel." — mich Get it from Amazon for $15.98. 24. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover if you're tried at looking at all the streaks and soap scum on your shower doors, fixtures, grout, and basically everywhere else in your bathroom. One reviewer swears that you should, "Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "I'm a clean freak with hard water, and this stuff took off the build-up like magic. I would recommend using a slightly damp scratch pad. It takes a little elbow grease, but I have tried a ton of products, and this one is the only one that worked!" — Lori Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 25. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of gross, stuck-on situations like that bathroom floor grout you came to terms with being dirty gray forever. Promising review:"I'm a bit of clean freak. This tool is an essential tool that scrubs hard to remove bunt-on food and stains. A real game changer. So glad someone introduced this to me." — Grade E Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 26. A bottle of nontoxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover to make all sorts of horrific stains disappear quickly. *And* there's no rinsing or vacuuming involved. To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with an absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin! Promising review:"I am on a cleaning high! My cat puked CANNED cat food on my carpet two days ago. I tried everything for two days to get this out. I looked up canned cat food puke on a carpet and someone on there said to try Folex. I sprayed this magical elixir on, followed the directions and oh my gosh it is gone! Gone! I've been flying through the house since I got home, putting it on old stains from years ago. All gone! It doesn't smell at all and it feels like water on your fingertips. What is this stuff? I am a clean freak and I am impressed." — GARY Get it from Amazon for $6.53+ (available in various sizes and packs). 27. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. Promising review:"I bought this so that I would not have to use energy to scrub my tub and shower. It may not seem like a lot of energy but for somebody who has a chronic illness and is a clean freak, it's a lifesaver!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.39 (available in two sizes, two scents, and a two-pack). 28. An ~intense~ grout cleaner — it'll bring blackened grout back from the disgusting brink because you shouldn't want to wear shoes in the bathroom. Promising review:"I am pregnant so I have a hard time scrubbing my floors but I am a clean freak. So I bought this to give it a try based on the reviews and this has been a lifesaver for me. Before this I used bleach, The Pink Stuff, etc, but flooring was still messy. Now I barely scrub and magic! Can't find the proper words to describe this beauty." — Lila Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in multipacks and with accessories). 29. A bottle of leather conditioner will revive your leather goods *even* as large as a leather couch! Welcome to your next project while you catch up on the latest ep of your fave true-crime podcast! Reviewers note that using this may darken the leather, so keep that in mind! Promising review:"I'm a clean freak! I have used a couple of other leather conditioners/cleaners for my leather couch and this by far is the best. The consistency is similar to honey (hence the name).... a little elbow grease is necessary to work it into the leather. I use this approximately every 6-8 weeks (3x) I have 1/2 the bottle left. After using this product, any scuffs or scratches were immediately less noticeable; it's very clean and conditioned (not dull). I plan on using this product so long the quality stays the same." — Rachell B. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 30. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that'll erase all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"I love this I am a clean freak!! And I have a new puppy who was peeing everywhere lol he went on my couch and I tried high dollar urine sprays, water and bleach and this got it! A little goes a loonngg way. I cant say how good this product is. I will buy again. Smells like fresh oranges great product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (also available in multipacks). 31. A jetted tub cleaner you simply run through in a bath cycle and just watch the filth (from previous tenants) EMERGE from the pipes. Then you simply wipe it away! It'll be equally horrifying and satisfying. Worth it. You run your bath, add the cleaner, watch the gunk emerge, drain your bath, and then clean off the gunk! Promising review:"I own a 400 gallon Rio jacuzzi and I purchased this product based on the favorable reviews. I am a clean freak and I thought I did a pretty good job of cleaning my Jacuzzi. I must say that I put 8 ounces into my jacuzzi, turned the jets on, and ran them for an hour. I was absolutely amazed of the crud and scum that was floating on the top of the water. I cleaned and drained the jacuzzi and repeated the process a second time. My spa is sparkling clean and I have already ordered another bottle. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT." — Dodger01 Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 32. A holy grail soft cleanser can help you *easily* erase all those gray and rusty stains on household surfaces you came to terms with years ago. They aren't paying rent, so give 'em the boot! FYI, this is the pre-mixed version (which saves you a bit of time). But you can also try the original powder version. To understand just *how* versatile this product is, check out our review of Bar Keepers Friend and prepare to be amazed! Promising review:"This is the best cleaning product I have ever bought in my 40+ none.

An upholstery cleaner to undo whatever it is your kids are doing to your backseat. (Please, I don't want to know.) Promising review:" A clean freak must-have! This is the best fabric seat cleaner ever!!! I have a light creamy seat and it gets stained easily, i had it cleaned numerous times at a deep clean car wash and they always leave water spot stains whenever the seats are dried. The light color seats make it so easy to see the flaws. This product work like a charm, I was skeptical since I tried couple of things before but nothing really worked. I just need to spray it once and scrub with a brush and it just come right off. For a clean freak, this is truly my dream come true." — Jonathan Erickson Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in gallon refill size). 34. A makeup brush cleanser because you and I both know you're not washing your beauty tools as frequently as you should. (Same.) Promising review:"I'm not very good at makeup, but am practicing.

An MVP-worthy pet urine stain–removing spray to help turn back the clock on that ancient stain in the hallway outside your bedroom. Amazon Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review:"I don't know how I ever survived without this. There's tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not house broken and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it's a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it's in a high-traffic area until it's completely dry. It's taken out every stain and more importantly the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" — Shelley Get it from Amazon for $19.97. 38. A mold and mildew removal gel that'll transform your shower surround in a mere six hours. Sadly, I think this is the closest we're getting to hopping timelines and universes because the Tardis only exists in our hearts and on our TVs. Promising review:"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 Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 39. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. Promising review:"Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW I didn't notice 'til 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. 'til 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, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy." — AmazonBob Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 40. A jewelry cleaning solution that reviewers say give them a professional-level on the stuff they wear on the reg like wedding bands. It's formulated to safely clean gold, palladium, platinum, sterling silver, stainless steel, diamonds, pearls, beads, porous stones, soft stones, enamel, and treated gemstones. Promising review: "Like a professional cleaning. I had months' worth of buildup on my wedding rings and this took it all off with one use! My diamond looks as good as it does when I take it to the jeweler. Very happy with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 41. A powerful tire cleaner to clean off the road dust (and so much more) on all sorts of wheels. Amazon Promising review:"Wow! I spend a long time trying to clean my rims with car soap, dish soap, and other car products without any success. No matter how much I rub and scrub it felt like the the dirt and grime was a permanent part of my rims. I've been negligent and haven't touched my rims in about two years (I know... never again). I was desperate so I decided to do some research as a last attempt. I found this and thought maybe it's because I need something specifically for 'brake dusts.' Decided to give it a try and it actually worked! I had to scrub it with a brush and respray it about two to three times on each rim before it's 90% like new again but that's mainly because my rims are so heavily soiled that I don't blame the product. At the end of the day it did what I needed it to do so I'm happy." — Rvn101 Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes). 42. And a bug remover can clean the gore from your windshield, grille, and side mirrors. Promising review:"This item was recommended by a stranger in the next RV lot at a campground hundreds of miles from home. This good Samaritan brought his bottle over, sprayed down the front of my bus, and then just wiped half an inch of smashed bugs off it! Just like magic. He then smiled, shook my hand, and left. When we got within two days of home, we ordered this, and it was delivered the day after we arrived. Again, it worked just like magic." — Hikes in Rain Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 43. An all-natural scour paste that'll really attack some layers and LAYERS of crud on all sorts of surfaces. Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed Humble Suds is a Denver-based Etsy shop creating plant-based cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and come in cute packaging (Bonus!). My colleague Danielle Healy is a big fan: "Shortly after moving in to my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!" Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $14.95+ (available in two sizes). 44. A powerful toilet tank cleaner can remove rust and other mineral deposits. Sure, guests aren't looking in your tank every time you use it, BUT you know if it's looking gross or not. Promising review: "For six years I have tried to remove stains from my toilet. I used bleach, pumice stones, CLR, vinegar, baking soda. This has done the job with zero scrubbing on my part. I am so happy with this product. I put it in my toilet bowl overnight as well as the tank and the stains are going away." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.27. 45. A mold and mildew remover to work its magic on gross grout stains while you kick back and catch up on your stories. I am literally describing my life. Yep, it even works on pesky pink grout stains! My mom turned me onto this stuff in college and I've used it since. Promising review:"Nothing removes mold and mildew from my shower like Tilex. I'm not the best Suzy Homemaker, so my shower can get kinda gross looking. I used the Tilex and my shower was noticeably cleaner after just soaking in the spray for a few minutes. I then scrubbed a bit and even better! Now to get a smaller brush so that I can scrub the bottom better." — Mteren Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.49. 46. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray with some "before" reviewer photos that look straight out of a haunted-house movie. Just spray it on a surface, wait 15 seconds, and then watch the mold disappear like a hat trick. It works on wood, tile, fiberglass, showers, floors, counters, and grout! RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional grade cleaning solutions for your home. Promising review:"I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and multiple quantities). 47. A rust stain-removing gel to help the gross shower surround. Lots of folks have gotten clean in that rental bathroom but it that doesn't have to feel that way. Promising review:"I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" — Toni Huitt Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a six-pack). 48. A plant-based stain remover capable of erasing YEARS-old blood stains from a tenant's mattress, as this reviewer explains. I have questions. MANY questions. Oh and it works on clothes too. Also check out our full review of Puracy Natural Laundry Stain Remover. Promising review:"A tenant left some blood stains on this mattress and a heating pad about 20 years ago. They were totally dry when we found them. Not knowing what to do, we put the mattress aside for 20 years until we found this product. Tested on the pad first. I sprayed a whole bottle on the pad, left it in a bathtub all night. Then washed the pad in the tub. The pad looks new after it is dried, even cleaner than when it was new! Wow! Then the real challenge, the mattress. With experience from cleaning the pad, I decided to use the solution much more efficiently. Here is the improved process: 1) Spray a little solution on the stained area. Make sure the stained area is soaked, but not too deeply. 2) Cover the soaked area with a piece of paper towel. I found it absorbs the stain very well. 3) Spray a little more solution onto the paper towel. This is for keeping the stain moisturized. These enzymes do not work under dry environments. 4) Cover the stained area and the paper towel on it with a piece of plastic film, which is normally for preserving food. Again, I did this to keep the stained area wet. The second morning, I removed everything from the mattress, used more paper towels to absorb the mess. And then, I used a clean car washing towel and cold water to clean up the remaining mess. I washed the towel and cleaned up again. Repeated three to four times, the mattress became very clean! No blood stain remains! Never imagined it could remove 20-year-old bloodstains." — nusaco888 Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes). 49. A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige? It's from a family-run business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review:"After reading the reviews I thought I could at least try it, and holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner!!! I think I have tried every cleaner on the market for pet stains and nothing ever really works on my carpets. Even if I get it off the top, it somehow comes back up. My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100% gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone. Miracle cleaner for sure!" — PLLane Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 50. A natural, plant-based cleaner in case the reason you let things reach gas station–bathroom levels is because you can't stand the smell of bleach. This stuff will tackle grime, streaks, spilled foundation, soap scum, and basically whatever else ends up on your bathroom surfaces. AND it'll leave behind a eucalyptus and tea tree scent, a vast improvement from smelling like an indoor pool. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I've never been able to get out and was thinking something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $12.34. 51. A bottle of Kaboom No-Drip Foam Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, which is bleach-based, can get down through mold and mildew JUST where you want dripping all over other stuff. Then you can wipe away! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the Kaboom Mold & Mildew Stain Remover in action. Promising review: "I love this cleaner! I used to spend hours with bathroom cleaners with bleach and a scrub brush in my white tile shower never getting the shower clean! I now spray this on the shower and walk away and in a short amount of time my shower tile is WHITE with ZERO scrubbing." — Suzanne Get two bottles from Amazon for $19.99. 52. A sandalwood all-purpose cleaner concentrate can make your water closet smell like it belongs in a 5-star hotel penthouse suite. Good Vibes Good Vibes is a Black woman-owned small business run out of Philadelphia, PA, that makes an array of plant-based cleaning products. The product itself is very soapy, so be sure to dilute it properly before going to town on all of your surfaces. You can also use it as a laundry booster or spot cleaner for clothes or carpet. Promising review:"All the Good Vibes products work well, this is my favorite scent. I use it mostly for cleaning bathrooms and the floors throughout my home. It did an amazing job, however, cleaning the outside of a car that hadn't been washed in over a year. Two thumbs up!!" —my favorite Get it from Good Vibes for $12.50. 53. Or an all-purpose cleaner concentrate to majorly save you on shelf space but also ensure you'll have all kinds of backups for cleaning.

34 Reviewer-Loved Cleaning Products That Do The Hard Work For You

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. These are crowd favorites for a reason. 1. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner that's truly a miracle product. Once a week (or whenever you think your shower is gross), liberally spray it all over and then go fall asleep for the night. In the morning, spray water over the areas and watch all the grime instantly wash away. Promising review:"This shower cleaner is the real deal. Our shower has a grouted stone floor and mildew likes to cling between the stones. I usually have had to scrub with a stiff brush for cleaning. I sprayed as directed, the scent is pleasant and not overwhelming; and rinsed the shower the next morning. I was amazed that the icky grime and mildew was gone! No scrubbing, no order, no fuss... It's great value as a little goes a long way." — CBLB Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 2. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. Promising review: "Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when they need to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle, and a spray will shoot out at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles. Gladly recommend." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $29.94. 3. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! Promising review:"I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try it after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie; this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in white or black). 4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 5. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 6. A sink plunger to easily unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed it for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like, a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole, and if you aren't expecting,g it will have a mess." — A Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in small and large sizes). 7. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the floor, and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 8. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscience) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up 100 single-use pads. These are only compatible with the Swiffer Sweeper and WetJet models. Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $12.66. 9. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your tub's drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain. This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself: Promising review:"This is crazy effective — I can't believe how much hair it collects! I'll never have to pull hair from my drain with one of those nasty hook things again! It's super easy to use and clean — it's rubber so you can easily just pull the hair off with a tissue and throw it away. I try to clean after every couple showers (just whenever I have the time) because the less hair that collects on it, the easier it is to remove. Fits the drain perfectly and has suction enough to stay in place, but still easy to remove and clean — very light weight." — The V Fam Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.99. 10. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 11. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magic bright blue foam to rid your disposal of nastiness and lingering smells. You just plop one of the packets into the drain, and then it does its wizardly thing. After a minute or two, it's over, and your kitchen sink looks and smells amazing. Amazon This foam is a cleaner that helps eliminate bad smells, but it's best to call a plumber if your garbage disposal is clogged. Promising review:"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." — KS Get a pack of four from Amazon for $8. 12. A length-adjustable pet hair broom because it's that time of the year when dogs and cats are shedding more than usual, and you need something to rake it all up. Because the bristles are rubber, it picks up way more hair than a traditional broom. Want more info? Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review. You'll learn a thing or two AND enjoy some very satisfying hair removal photos! Promising review:" I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can't always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." — Theo A Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles). 13. And an all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet that's like a bath bomb for your bowl. Drop one in, let it do its fizzy thing, and then lightly scrub away any residue. Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo that creates natural body, hair, and home products. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says:" For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup." Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents). 14. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets for making cleaning your water bottles and tumblers less of a headache. If you're the person who just "rinses out" their reusable water bottle with water and a squirt of soap, your bottle is likely filled with unwanted bacteria and grime. These tablets put in all the elbow grease so you don't have to. No scrubbing, stirring, or washing — simply drop them in your bottle with some water, and *poof* all the bacteria and grime is gone. They're also biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." — Erin Green Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 15. Or a reusable weighted bottle cleaner to take on all the gunk that's in your water bottles that a sponge or bottle brush can't reach. Simply drop, shake, and empty. Each sponge should last around four months. Cleanzy Sponge is a Black-owned small business that was started after inventor John kept having trouble cleaning drink containers without bulky tools and a lot of scrubbing. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but next to coffee, this guy is my best friend and has exceeded all of my expectations." — Jeni SenseOfWonder Get it from Cleanzy on Etsy for $9.99. 16. A natural, plant-based cleaner that uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $22.47. 17. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains, all without the annoyance of a cord. Like the tens of thousands of positive reviewers, I, too use this to take on heavy duty cleaning. Everything from deep cleaning my rugs to taking care of major messes on my kids' carseats. It's truly a lifesaver! Promising review:"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 Get it from Amazon for $99.98. 18. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor. Promising review:"Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." — LauraP320 Get it from Amazon for $39.98. 19. A rolling laundry sorter since sorting your clothes into groups will make laundry day way more manageable. These come with the four bags already labeled, but there's an option to buy blank ones if you'd prefer to label yours with something else. Promising review:"It's exactly what I was looking for. We're a family of five so I always have something to wash, and I was tired of separating by colors. Now it's easy, and everybody can do it. It's a simple process for everyone. Now my kids think that it's fun to separate the clothes, and I'm fine with that, ha. I used a stencil and Sharpie to tag the bags — so easy, and l loved the results! Took me 20 minutes to assemble with my 9-year-old son. Looks nice, and the bags have a good quality, and also they have a great capacity. It's make laundry so easy!!!!" — Lourdes Get it from Amazon for $40.87 (available in five colors). 20. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to make sure your dishwasher is clean enough to actually clean the dishes. One tab removes lime and mineral buildup, which causes streaking on glassware and water spots on ceramics. These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:"I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, Tip Hero, etc. But this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well-maintained, and I struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios, turned back the clock. It looks brand-new inside. BRAND-NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again, and I'm telling everyone I know about this." — Jason Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99. 21. A grooming glove that turns shedding season into a bonding experience instead of a fur-covered fever dream. With soft silicone tips, it gently removes loose hair while giving your pet a soothing massage — like a spa day they didn't even know they needed. From Buzzfeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 22. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is in good enough shape to keep your clothes clean. All you do is throw one tablet in and it cleans deep inside your machine's pump, valve, tub, drum, agitator, filter, and hose. Promising review:"My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn't come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." — Esta Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98. 23. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Promising review:"Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." — Winged Wolf Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 24. A broom and mop organizer you can put on an empty wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (we're talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors). 25. A toilet bowl ring remover if you haven't cleaned your toilet bowl in a reaaalllllly long time. That permanent dark ring? It's no match for this pumice stone on a stick! Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of two and four). 26. A scrap trap to make sure food prep doesn't result in a huge mess — just chop up your ingredients and push the discards into this bucket. It fits over the drawer or door, so you don't have to give up valuable countertop space. This also includes a brush/scraper that fits neatly in the front pocket to easily swipe scraps and crumbs into the container. Promising review:"Works just as described. It is so convenient to push scraps from the counter or cutting board into the scrap trap. Even though it is too big, place a plastic shopping bag in before you fill it and you will have the scraps bagged when you are done. It keeps things neat when doing prep work. Also bought one as a gift. Everyone who cooks should have one." — SR Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 27. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save. Promising review:"I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wash in Tide, and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" — Tim S. Get five pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 28. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner; it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 29. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top so you can keep your bathroom cleaning supplies organized. Cleaning can be so exhausting, so do yourself a favor and keep your supplies organized so that you don't expel energy trying to find all your cleaners and tools. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (available in chrome or bronze). 30. Some nonstick oven liners to keep your oven clean. Any drippings or spills from foodstuff fall onto the liner, which you can just take out and wash by hand or throw into the dishwasher. Amazon Promising review:"I have a non-self-cleaning oven for the first time in decades. After having an apple pie spill over and spending more than an hour cleaning it up, I purchased these oven liners. What a time-saver. They are easy to cut, so they fit perfectly. Because I have a visible heating element, the liner goes right on the oven floor, under the heating element." — K L Barnes-O'Connor Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 31. Some stove burner covers that'll make cleaning your stove top so much easier. Instead of having to basically disassemble your stove to clean out all the gunk under the burners, just remove these covers, wipe 'em down, and boom! Like new. Promising review:" These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off, or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame, but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stovetop, lol. T his has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" — AngsChaos Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in black or silver and three different sizes). 32. A touchless stationary vacuum to suck up all the debris you sweep near it. Simply place it on any smooth surface and let it do its thing. No more bending over with a flimsy dustpan. An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash. Promising review:" I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac, and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." — Mary C Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 33. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 34. And a bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to easily remove soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from nearly any fireplace. Promising review:"Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It's a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." — MM Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
