If The Best Gift You Could Give Yourself This Spring Is A Clean Home, You Need These 42 Products

1. A trio of Scrub Daddy sponges with two unique design features: they stay firm in cold water and are soft in warm water. The varied textures allow for deep cleans without scratching the surfaces of your best dinnerware. And the best part? You can clean these by putting them in the top rack of your dishwasher! Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here. Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, last forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." — Kristi Rosengreen Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99. 2. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. If you're ready to give your rugs and furniture a proper wash, this is here to help! Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. 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 even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $123.59 (available in three versions) 3. And a carpet shampoo solution for getting your floors and rugs looking like their original color without any toxic chemicals. Who knew your brown carpet was actually a WHITE carpet? Woof. 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 a 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I of 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. 4. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads in the middle of a massive cleaning project. Save some time and money with these extra-thick microfiber versions! 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 to 100 single-use pads. 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 $11.39. 5. A pumice cleaning stone for saving your toilet bowl from a bleak existence. Over 18,000 reviewers have given this a 5-star rating for getting rid of their harsh hard water stains from rust, lime, and calcium — sans harsh chemicals. 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 $13.99 (also available in a pack of two and four). 6. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. It doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use, so go ahead and de-fur your entire place to enjoy a moment of shed-free bliss. 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). 7. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $21.49 (also available in a two-pack). 8. A Ruggable machine-washable rug — a practical alternative to traditional area rugs for people who actually want to live life (spills and all) in the living room. Check out Ruggable's landing page for more Prime Day Deals! The image above is of my daughter's nursery, but I have a total of THREE Ruggable rugs in my home. The nursery, our sitting room/my office, and our kitchen are all Ruggable rooms. I won't use anything else! Before I was the mom of a human child, I was (and still am) the mom of two cats. Having rugs that easily wash are crucial for all the puke, pee, and other slips and spills that happen thanks to all my little critters. Promising review:"Amazing. Well worth the price. I love the two-piece design. Looks great. Very slip resistant, doesn't move at all. No need for rug grippers or protectors for hardwood. My kids already tested it out by dumping a cup of strawberry milk on the rug. It didn't leak through to the hardwood. Then we just threw it in the washer. I'm going to fill my house with these." — MattSand Get a 6'x9' version from Amazon for $529 (available in 14 styles and several sizes). 9. An ammonia-free glass and window cleaner that'll wipe away fingerprints and dog drool off the inside of your sliding doors without filling your home with a chemical smell. This is also a great option if you have a glass dining room table, like the reviewer below! Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 10. A bottle of Bring It On — a cleaning solution your bathroom mirror is practically begging you to buy. If all the toothpaste, water spots, runaway hair spray, and splotchy skincare gunk that's stuck to your mirror has you feeling unsettled, this all-natural cleaner is gonna clear that up in seconds. Promising review:"This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie, this stuff needs some elbow grease but it definitely works. It took off what seems like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" — Tyrene A. Gapol Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 11. A pack of leather cleaning wipes made with a nontoxic, grease-free formula that'll condition, clean, and protect leather without leaving residue behind. If you've been hankering to refresh your best leather accessories — this product is a great excuse to get started! Promising review:"I love these wipes for my car. They smell so nice and leave my interior looking clean — always!" — Erika Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (includes 70 wipes). 12. A Chomp wall cleaner complete with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads, and a microfiber cover. With this telescoping tool you can finally dust and scrub high windowsills, vent covers, and age-old stains by your ceiling. Plus, you can clean your baseboards without bending (and breaking) your back. 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. A canister of 90 heavy-duty cleaning wipes perfect for those times when you've got guests coming in minutes and need one product to frantically speed-deep-clean as much of your place as possible (I am speaking here — these work very well in those instances). 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). 14. An almond-scented wood polish and cleaner kit (with an included microfiber cloth) formulated with a grime-busting and wood-safe mineral oil that'll easily wipe away buildup on wood surfaces and restore their finish. Other natural cleaners often include beeswax or orange oil, which can leave surfaces sticky and require a second cleaning after use — this natural option is a one-stop shop! Sweet. Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz in the United States using safe-for-you ingredients to make cleaning products. Promising review:"I didn't realize how 'thirsty' my furniture was until I used this product. It made my dining table look great (and it is 20 years old and used daily). Also, it applies easily and doesn't leave streaks. Highly recommend!" — Keri Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 15. A bamboo wire brush you can use to remove mats and add some fluff back into coats, rugs, tapestries, furniture, stuffed animals, and accessories made with plush sheepskin-style materials. If it's time to bring your well-worn items back to life, go ahead and ~brush up~ on your more unique cleaning skills! Promising review:" I've had sheepskin rugs and seat covers all of my adult life and have never had a better brush. Excellent product, does no damage, and cleans really well. Leaves things fluffy, un-matted, and doesn't yank out fibers. Nice price, too!" — talentlesshack Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 16. A handheld steam cleaner for anyone who would far prefer using steam instead of inhaling chemicals for hours when doing an all day deep clean. This has a cord that's nearly 10 feet long to melt away buildup and gunk all over your place. Because it's steam-based, it's great for pet products, curtains, kid's toys, grills — you name it! This includes a portable steam cleaner with an angled nozzle, bendable extension, brush nozzle, fabric steamer tool, and rubber wipers for windows and doors. 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. 17. A hard-water stain remover boasting an *industrial strength* formula designed to obliterate years-long rust and hard water stains. If you're restoring a bathroom with windows, glass doors, or bathtubs that look bleary and is sure to be your new best friend. You can use this on several surfaces, not just stuff in your bathroom. It'll remove rust, limescale, and general buildup on practically everything. You can use it on car windshields, barbecues, toilets, pools, boats, brass, stone, metal, porcelain, brass, hard so much more. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! Even though we use a squeegee after every shower we still had streaks of hard water stains. It looked hazy. This is a pasty application on a microcloth. It worked with minimal effort. I even use the battery operated scrubber to make it easier. My shower doors look like new again. It even worked on my shower head and facet handle. After cleaning the shower I tried it on my stove top that had scorch marks around the burners. It worked perfect with a bit of elbow grease. I could never get them off. I give it an A+. No harsh smell and one bottle will last me a long time." — T. Buckman Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 18. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, a fan-favorite among pet parents, this odor-eliminating spray is gonna lift stains from carpet and furniture while *also* pulling out the odor that you haven't been able to get rid of despite previous deep-cleans. 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, and 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 in multipacks). 19. A stainless steel cleaner to wipe up grease, stains, and fingerprints faster than you're able to say "cleaning the kitchen sucks." Turns out, it doesn't have to with this stuff. This stainless-steel cleaning spray also comes with a handy dandy microfiber cloth. Promising review:"This cleaner doesn't leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!!" — Courtney B. Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in multipacks). 20. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time. Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95. 21. Or some espresso machine descaling tablets, because we're cleaning *well* in this post, folks! If you've invested good money on a great machine, you're certainly gonna wanna keep it ship-shape. These tablets are here to make sure each cup of coffee you make is brag-worthy. Promising review: "Awesome deal for such a powerful cleaning tablet. Works very well for my espresso machine. I use it weekly for back flushing and keeping my screen clean and functioning correctly. Definitely recommend!!" — Outflying Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $19.95. 22. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean and deodorize your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! Okay, "Goodbye limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup!" 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, and 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 $19.95. 23. Plus, a fume-free oven cleaner with a spray, wait, and wipe away system — a quick shot of this stuff can eat up those baked-in stains you've been actively avoiding since your pumpkin pie boiled over on Thanksgiving. Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens 24. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets (because your appliance-cleaning day means *all* your appliances) to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven't washed your machine bought it. Promising review:"Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." — akkeber Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.18 (available in two pack sizes). 25. A drain clog remover that'll dig down deep into the depths of tub drains clogged by bath salts, body scrubs, and other gooey goods that love clinging to loose hair. 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 $9.59+ (available in two styles). 26. A touch-up paint pen because scuffs make things look dirtier no matter how clean they may be and that one scuff mark on your wall has been MOCKING you for weeks now. Yes, trying to put up a shelf on your own ended in disaster. Thank you for reminding me, scuff mark! Slobproof is a woman-owned small business. Promising reviews:"Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." — Elizabeth "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." — Hooked on AMZN! Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two pack sizes). 27. 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. 28. A pressure washer so you no longer have to be awash in grief over a dull and dreary patio, home exterior, or fence. With this, outdoor furniture and other backyard basics can look brand new. In fact, it's just a spray away! It even comes with five spray tips to help you attack light to heavy-duty cleaning tasks. Promising review:"This little guy is a game-changer. It is so quiet, and so powerful. I was extremely skeptical about buying such a small, not to mention, electric pressure washer because I've only used gas pressure washers in the past. Well I moved into my house last year, and started to wash this driveway off with a friend's gas pressure washer and decided it was not worth the time because it was not getting very much of the grime/dirt off. Well look at what this thing did. This home is near the beach and flooded in Katrina, and probably hasn't ever been pressure washed. This thing worked flawlessly. I can't say enough good things about this purchase. Would buy again with confidence." — James G. Get it from Amazon for $199.99. 29. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 30. And The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner for folks who know The Pink Stuff could be the *only* stuff. Try out their floor cleaner and transform your brown grout into the white grout it actually is. Amazon, Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98. 31. Concrete paint in a satin silver-gray epoxy to make worn, weathered patios and walkways look pretty much pristine. Plus, it's easy to clean and won't scuff or fade! Promising review:"Excellent, easy to use and clean up. My outdoor patio is a little rough and it took a full gallon to cover 200 sq feet." — RLB Get it from Amazon for $35+ a gallon (available in two shades of gray). 32. 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! To use: Spray the product onto your shower once a week and leave it on for 8-12 hours, then rinse it off! Easy as pie. 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 had 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). 33. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner with a formula that clings to grime and buildup inside your pipes, preventing hidden smells from escaping through your sink and removing bacteria that may be lurking just out of reach. Use this so you can clean out your rental's sink before your landlord decides to dispose of your deposit. Promising review:"Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" — Jennifer K Get a six-pack from Amazon for $27.49. 34. A grout stain remover so you can stop being ~ grout chy~ about the grim state your bathroom tile is in. To use, simply apply, wait six to eight hours, and then rinse away. No scrubbing required! Promising review:"I was skeptical in using this product as i have tried countless 'mold and mildew removers' out there. My mold and mildew problem is impossible to remove. I scrubbed, bleached, treated it but no noticeable difference. I left this product overnight and I was like 'what is this sorcery?' I have no other words to explain it. Phenomenal results!!" — iAwesome Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 35. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually did have a view through those dust bunnies. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." — Sarah Get it from Amazon for $6.64. 36. A cooktop-cleaning kit for times when your kitchen is so messy you're worried it'd be a fire hazard to make anything fancier than toast. This set comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand new." — Christi Get it from Amazon for $11.48. 37. A drip dry cleaner so you can get your chandelier shining with just a spritz of spray. There's no need to take the dang thing down and clean each individual crystal any longer! Promising review:"This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I've attached a before and after one application photos (seen above)." — kw Get it from Amazon for $23.95. 38. Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner for jets that have filled with dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria-filled buildup because your "treat yourself" baths did not involve cleaning up afterward. It's from a family-owned, Minnesota-based company! Promising review:"Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets). Almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then most came out as the chemical had time to circulate. So glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house and I thought, 'Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.' Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out." — Aaron Johnson Get it from Amazon for $18.73. 39. A handheld allergen vacuum with a sanitizing UV light and bacteria-blasting steam-free heat technology. With this, you'll *finally* make vacuuming curtains and upholstery a simple situation. Your upright vacuum could never. Promising review:"I used this on my 9-year-old mattress...I'm not a slob, I wash my sheets and mattress protector weekly. I recently noticed I have a dust mite allergy Wow did this vac pull out some of that gray powder: dead skin, mite poop, mite parts. I was surprised how much it pulled out of the mattress. I probably spent a good 30 minutes with double to triple passes on the mattress while also cleaning the carpet around bed as well as my pillow." — M. Cassie Get it from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in two styles). 40. A cleaning putty for making the most mundane cleaning tasks way more fun. Ironically, this slimy substance can be used to remove the *actual* slime your children make/squish into every remote and keyboard in your home. Promising review:"I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite was true, it cleaned it as good as new. This got all those dog hairs between the keys! Now there is no smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. There's no sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. It's even kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and to use it on my dusty window blinds. This stuff works and I highly recommend!" — ZZZZZZ Get it from Amazon for $6.98. 41. A power drill scrubber brush set that's gonna provide dazzling results on the stains that have been a part of your tile, glass, grout, or fiberglass so long it's simply causing you stress.

Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A. Givens Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles). 42. And finally, Goo Gone kitchen degreaser sure to rid surfaces of those sticky, gross, and stubborn residues you've honestly just grown to accept as part of your appliances at this point. It's time to solve that problem. Safe for use on tile, ceramic and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas! 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). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
