People Who 'Hate' Cleaning Swear By These 31 Products, And You Will Too
1. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must buy product!!!!" — Laura Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I was in shock. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 2. A pack of duster sponges that make dusting almost effortless (and are an alternative to the more expensive and always sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster). Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface instead of flying into the air. Just rinse clean and you're done! 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: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning them so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia 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 it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color packs). 3. And for wayyyyy up high surfaces (including the ceiling fan), an extendable (it'll reach over five feet!) duster to get the job done in no time flat, no matter where the dust bunnies are hiding. It can rotate and bend at multiple angles, and it even has a microfiber head you can toss in the wash and reuse. Amazon It can rotate and bend at multiple angles, and it even has a microfiber head you can toss in the wash and reuse. Promising review: "Let me preface this with: I hate dusting. I don't do it, and I use the vacuum whenever possible if I remember. This thing is magic. Extendable, bendable magic. Love it. My only peeve is that it swivels around. [But] I think it's supposed to do that." — V 13 Promising review:"Works very well. The telescoping handle has a super long reach when extended all of the way. There is nowhere in my home I can't reach with this. The duster really grabs and holds onto cobwebs and dust. I cleaned my ceiling fans without dust falling onto me and the floor below. There is also a rubber tip at the end of the duster that keeps it from scratching or marring surfaces which I thought was very nice. My only complaint is that I wish the rubber handle at the end was attached a bit better. It pulls totally off every time I extend the arm, but that's a very simple fix and doesn't really affect it's performance." — Julia Shafer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). 4. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter because dust, pollen, and pet dander can get you DOWN (and sneezy) — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you totally dusted yesterday. This'll suck so much out of the air, you just might find yourself dusting less often (reviewers do!). And it can help your home smell fresher, too. Promising review: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than for others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse, and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought two of the smaller version of this same purifier for the two bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine, they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms, too. I've had all three purifiers going 24/7 for 4 months now, and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all, these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records, etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for 2 weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $49.99. 5. Hope's Perfect Sink, a sink cleaner and polish formulated to use on stainless steel AND porcelain sinks (plus cast iron, corian, acrylic, and more) to restore that just-like-new shine *and* protect against further damage. It creates a water-repellant barrier, so instead of your morning coffee, lunchtime soup, and evening pasta sauce just sitting in the bottom of the sink, it'll actually rinse clean with ease. I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here. Promising review:"Holy banana peppers! This stuff ROCKS! I hate cleaning. You clean, and stuff looks okay and smells nice for like an hour, and then it's as if you've never cleaned. We have a deep stainless steel sink that I love, except for the cleaning. It never looks clean, so cleaning it isn't exactly rewarding. I mean, I clean it because germs, pandemic, etc, but I don't like anything about it. I saw this on some BuzzFeed "things you should buy on Amazon" and ordered it. And ignored it. Now, as there's a quarantine, even as an essential worker, I really have no excuse not to clean. Sigh. I splooshed some in the sink, like I did with Barkeeper's Friend liquid, and scrubbed away as usual. However, when I went to rinse, it was all sparkly and shiny, and the water beaded up! I seriously made my husband and daughter come into the kitchen to look at my sparkly sink! This is the cleanest this sink has ever been, and I seriously LOVE this product! Off to order more before you all read my review and discover its true awesomeness. I didn't take any pictures before because why the hell would I do that, but believe me, the difference is amazing!!" — Amazon Customer Get the 8.5-ounce size for $9.95 or the value size from Amazon for $26. 6. A fume-free Easy-Off oven cleaner you can spray on, leave for a minute, and then wipe away for an oven so clean, you'll think it was swapped out for a new model overnight. Time to reward yourself after all this cleaning with a cake. Promising review:"I rarely write reviews, but this stuff is straight magic!! When we moved into our new home, the oven was disgusting! I absolutely HATE cleaning a freaking oven but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot. For less than six bucks, what the heck, I'll give it a try! Sprayed it on last night, got up this morning, and wiped it out with nothing but paper towels and BAM! My new favorite cleaning product! I'm going to end up doing it again tonight just to have it all sparkly, because like I said, this thing was disgusting, and there were a couple of spots on the door and on the bottom that I missed. If I had felt like putting more effort into it, I could have scrubbed it clean, but let's be real here, ain't nobody got time for that! If you're questioning whether this stuff works, just buy it and prepare to be blown away!" — Brittany Douglas Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 7. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner so you can clean the whole bowl with one hand — and *one* product. If the idea of a toilet brush in your you out, this is a great alternative that'll help you actually keep up with this chore. Amazon I use these myself and they get the JOB DONE. Promising review:"Let's be real – cleaning toilets is a necessary evil. There is nothing that I hated doing more. I used to avoid Clorox wands due to the price of the scrubbing heads. Why spend that money when you can use your traditional toilet bowl cleaner for way cheaper? Because it makes it SO EASY. No need to deal with gloves, messy toilet bowl cleaners, keeping bristles of a brush clean, keeping the brush and container dry so it's not gross, etc. These wands take the YUCK out of cleaning it. I'd rather pay the few extra bucks each month to be less grossed out. I have one for each bathroom, but you could use one head for two toilets if you really wanted to. If you dislike cleaning toilet bowls the traditional way as much as I do, buy this product. You won't regret it." — Emily J. Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $20.86. 8. And/or a self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush, so it always looks like it's *just* been cleaned. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*. Promising review: "If you hate scrubbing the toilet bowl like I do, then this product is for you. The bleach only goes into the bowl water, not the tank, so it doesn't make your tank parts disintegrate. Don't get me wrong; you still have to clean your toilet seat and stuff, but this keeps the bowl itself sparkly clean! Just love it!" — S.L. Beason Promising review: " Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now, and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2-3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured why not, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy. If you have hard water buildup issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet firs,t just to be sure, but I think you will be happy :)." — nima bean Get the kit from Amazon for $19.78 (two-packs of refills are available for $10.98). 9. A vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because your ride deserves to be as crumb-free as your home. This lil' guy plugs into your 12V outlets and sucks up all of the dirt, dead leaf particles, McDonalds french fry salt, and all the other detritus accumulating on the floors and seats — it has three attachments for detailing in alllll the nooks and crannies. Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First, it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco Get it from Amazon for $22.49+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 10. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that too, cutting through the toughest messes! Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it! Promising review: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." — Kimba Promising review: " The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44. 11. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner that sprays on water and stain-fighting cleaner, then sucks it away to blast away years' of mess — on carpet *and* furniture. Reviewers love it for banishing pet stains, spills, and more — without having to waste a lot of their valuable storage space. Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I'd bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don't even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning, but I actually enjoy using this — it's so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." — April Bond Promising review:"Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. I t's so easy to use, and minimizes the yuck factor dealing with pet stains. That's important to me because I hate to tackle cleaning jobs like this. It's compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it's not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. YouTube has some great tips on video." — Zona lady Get it from Amazon for $123.59. 12. The Chom Chom, because it's every pet-owning neat freak's dream that shedding exist. And this genius roller is the closest we can possibly get to that dream. It has a patented brush design (and *no* wasteful adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in just a quick roll! All the hair will bunch up inside the roller, ready to be dropped into the trash with the push of a button. Promising review:"This thing had been popping up on my feed for a few months, but I had a hard time justifying the price. I really do hate cleaning cat hair, so when I bought my new couch, I thought, why not? Holy cow. This thing is magical. It used to take me 15-20 minutes to vacuum my furniture. Then I'd have to pick off all the fur to clean the attachment. I only had the energy to do it once a week, and my allergies are out of control (yes, I'm allergic to cats and I have two 😂). Now, I clean all my furniture at least once a day. It's so quick, and the hair is scraped off into a compartment that is easy to clean. I would marry this thing if I could, but that would be weird. So I'll just carry it down the aisle instead of a bouquet. It's worth every penny. Buy it." — Tabitha R. Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 13. A Furemover rubber broom made of ~electrostatic~ rubber that's designed to attract and trap dust and hair. Despite the name, it isn't just for those with shedding pets (although it's great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleagues knows firsthand, it's also great at getting *human* hair out of carpet in just a few quick sweeps (once you realize how much hair is trapped never be able to un-know it). You'll be surprised how much more vibrant and clean-looking your carpets and rugs will be! It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces. Promising review: " This thing is amazing!!! Great for area rugs, carpets, and bare floors. To say I hate sweeping is an understatement, dog hair is always floating away from the pile. This rubber broom is a game-changer, with two labs I always have dog hair to be swept up and this gets the job done without hair floating away. It creates easy-to-sweep-up piles of dirt and dog hair. Seriously just buy it, you won't regret it." — Trista Tozier Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in six other types/styles). 14. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture. How effective? Well, it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form! Promising review:"This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better, and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven, but this makes it an ease." — Jaiden Promising review: "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no, I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub, use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." — Patricia C Tinney Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 15. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner if you love having a clean don't actually enjoy the cleaning process itself. Now you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*, waiting 8-12 hours, and then rinsing to reveal a cleaner shower over time. And it's bleach-free, so no harsh smells! Best invention ever? Possibly. Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments. This is wonderful at keeping your shower clean, but if your shower isn' right now, you can use it a few times in a row to get it back to sparkling before using it once a week for maintenance! Promising review: "Let me be clear, I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget, and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name, oddly enough) and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to its original glory. Get it, use dang it, don't forget it!" — Randy Bassett Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 16. The Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you if you're TIRED of all the dust that accumulates on your trim and baseboard every. single. day. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360° swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees, so you can get your heavy-duty spring cleaning done AND make regular dusting touchups easier too. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love this thing. Simple to use, wish I'd invented it! I hate cleaning baseboards and this works perfectly!" — Leigh Promising review: " Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 17. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to remove streaks, marks, residue, and fingerprints from all of your appliances with *one* wipe of the included microfiber cloth. And it helps keep fingerprints and smudges away — reviewers say the shine lasts for days! Promising review:"Stop looking. This is the best. I love my stainless refrigerator, but I absolutely HATE cleaning it. Until now! I have tried so many different stainless products over the years, and none of them worked well. This is the only one that actually cleans like it should. I also use it to clean my stove and range hood. It makes all of them look so shiny and new. Once you try it, you won't go back to any other cleaner. It's the best!" — Shelley Get the set, which includes the cleanser and polishing cloth, from Amazon for $19.95. 18. Puracy's all-in-one cleaning concentrate you can dilute and use on just about everything — floors, countertops, dishes, windows, laundry, and more — so you don't have to keep swapping out bottles in your linen closet. Promising review:"I'm lazy and I really hate cleaning so I have no qualms about using regular cleaners if it means I don't have to spray as often and scrub 50 times extra. Because we have a baby now, I decided to give this product a try since I have to clean nearly everyday and I wanted to minimize the toxic chemical exposure. I've been using this about a month and it's great. No additional sprays needed, no extra scrubbing. There was a tomato-based paste like puree food substance that my beloved child smeared all over the WHITE tray and I honestly thought it would stain it forever. But this handled it like a champ. I had originally bought it for baby products and stuff only around the baby but I find myself using it for the kitchen, counters, and pretty much everywhere because it works well. It has an herbal smell (not unpleasant) that is reminiscent of Aveda products. It's fairly light and dissipates quickly so it's not harsh smelling. I still hate cleaning but at least I can feel somewhat good about using a more non-toxic product." — JuneBean Get it from Amazon for $19.99. Btw, Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, and hypoallergenic home products. 19. A Bissell CleanView bagless vacuum designed with a specialized brush roll for picking up embedded pet (and human) hair, powerful suction on carpet and hard floors, and an easy-empty tank so you don't have to (gag) touch all of that icky stuff. Promising review:"I hate vacuuming. When I had to vacuum as a teen, I'd lie on the floor and cry. While I've grown less dramatic as an adult my loath of vacuuming has not decreased. Alas, I have two dogs, two cats, two men, and a crepe Myrtle tree. Vacuuming must be done regularly. I've had a Dyson for several years, but it decided it'd had enough last week. Ordered this guy on Friday. Y'all! Apparently my Dyson hasn't sucked in quite some time. I got up so much hair and dirt. I think my rug is a different color. Definitely helped with the dog smell. It's lighter than my Dyson and holds three times as much. Buy one. You won't be sad." — Shannon Miller Get it from Amazon for $119.99. 20. Or a basic Roomba robot vacuum (with 18x more suction and 33% more battery life than previous models!) that'll do the work *for* you, navigating around your home, picking up crumbs, pet hair, dust, and anything else that keeps your house from feeling clean on a regular basis so you can sit back and relax but still enjoy all the thrill of a clean home. It even works with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control it with your voice! It runs for up to 120 minutes before automatically heading to the dock to recharge. Promising review: "This is well worth its price. I hate housework, and particularly vacuuming and sweeping, but I have pets who shed, and this is the best purchase I've ever made in terms of helping me with housework. I turn Roomba on when I leave the house, and when I come back, she's either finished vacuuming or is still working. I am going to order one for my daughter. At first, she would get caught on things, but now that she knows her way around, I can turn her on and go out and not have to worry about her getting stuck. It's also really easy to clean out the dust receptacle." — Lauren Promising review: " I was very sceptical about these but went on the recommendation of my daughter. It has changed my life (or at least my cleaning routine). It does take some getting used to, but give it a week and you won't be able to live without it ! As shown in my photo, it picks up pet hair. It appears to be randomly going around my hardwood floors, but must work on some kind of internal grid because it doesn't miss much. Before this purchase, I swept my floors approximately 3x per week because of cat hair. This goes around every morning while I shower and get dressed, and picks up a full bin of dust! I wouldn't run it when not at home if you own pets, but I think it's perfectly fine to run while I do other things (it once ran over my cat's tail bc he was too lazy to move). Occasionally, it gets stuck, but I just go around and do a quick pick up to make sure I get maximum results. I hadn't planned on using it on my deep pile carpet, but was amazed at how great a job it did! The room looked as though I had used a full-size vacuum! Get one! You won't regret it!" — Southport Summers Get it from Amazon for $129. 21. An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part. Just squirt in some makeup brush shampoo (I recommend the EcoTools one!) and water, plug 'er in, press the button, and away the bowl spins, scrubbing your brushes clean while you simply hold them in place! Check out the brush cleaner in action on TikTok. Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port so you don't always need a wall outlet. This product is an easy clean with its silicone bowl, and it gives my brushes the thorough, deep clean they need in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this item!!!! You will thank yourself!" — Analisa Gomez Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 22. A three-part microfiber wand so you can dust your blinds, air-conditioner vent, and any of those other narrow, hard-to-reach areas quicker and easier than ever before. When you're done, just take the covers off and pop 'em right in the washing machine! Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely hate cleaning my blinds, and it was pretty obvious that I hardly ever clean them by how much dirt came off the first time I used this tool. I've only used it dry so far, but boy, it sure does get the dust off of the blinds. It does still take a while to do it, even though you're doing multiple slats at a time, but it sure is a lot easier. I love that you can just throw them in the washing machine when you're done. Thumbs up!" — Dopey1200 Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue and green). 23. A set of three scrubbing attachments for serious cleaning jobs on your to-do list — you can simply add an attachment to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy. If you don't *already* have a drill, you can also get a cordless drill set with brushes just like the above and drill bits from Amazon for $19.99. Promising review:"I don't normally write reviews, but I have to tell everyone how much I love this product. I HATE scrubbing my bathroom because I have hard water, and trying to get hard water stains off the shower is impossible. Until now! As soon as put the brush on the surface, it just ripped through the stains as if they were cleaning dust off a floor. I wish I would have taken a picture of before and after but I forgot. Not only that, but it was so satisfying to hold the drill and watch it destroy the caked of stains. And best of all, my wrists do not ache after cleaning my shower!" — RSCOTT Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm. 24. A 20-pack of extra-thick melamine cleaning pads that'll tackle your toughest messes — from your sneakers to your stove to your walls — just with a little water and elbow grease. Everything will be cleaner than ever, and you'll save money compared to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers — I call that a win-win. Promising review:"These cleaning sponges truly are 'magic.' They are nice and thick and durable. Clean surfaces easily, but don't scratch or mar. I'm almost enjoying cleaning my house now that I have these. Almost. I still hate cleaning..." — Heidi L. McLain Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" — Keisha Marie Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 25. A mold and mildew removing gel to take care of those stains that give you a jumpscare every time you wash your hair. Good news: you don't need to get your whole shower redone when this is in your life. Just squeeze out and apply to any areas that need attention and let the non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g. Promising review: "I bought this product after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but I took the chance as I hate scrubbing my shower grout. I was surprised that it actually worked. The application was easy. The rinse-off was easy, and I was left with the whitest looking grout! Ten out of ten would buy again!" — JAMIE A Promising review:"I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining and moldy, but a little hit of this, and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 26. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that does *both at the same time* (gasp), always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank) and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. And unlike regular mops, this guy retains 90% of dirty water, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. Monica Gellar would be so excited by this. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "Worth every penny! Easily my favorite purchase of the year! I hate mopping, but this makes it so painless and quick. I'm surprised at how easily it gets up crap off the floors, and I seriously love this thing. 10/10 would buy again!" — Gabe Baugh Get it from Amazon for $259.99. 27. Or for automatic mopping, the Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop with two rotating microfiber pads (they deliver 150 ~scrubs per minute~), easy maneuvering, and headlights built in so you can see every stuck-on particle and sticky stain that's in your path before it gets wiped away. There's no cleaning solution involved, but the steam sanitizes your floors! It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone. Promising review: " I hate mopping. I love the Shark Steam and scub. I have tried many different products over the years, always looking for an easier way to mop. The steam and scrub is by far the easiest product I've ever used. I was able to clean all my tile rooms in less than an hour. The power and steam were perfect, having the long cord was great. When I washed the pads in the washer they came out like new. I highly recommend this product." — Arizona Promising review:"I have four kids and two dogs and have struggled to keep my hardwood floors looking clean. This steamer takes minutes to use. It warms up in seconds and instantly has my floors spotless and without excess water. They dry quickly. Then simply throw the cleaning pads into the wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. I wish I had bought this years ago!!" — Valerie Get it from Amazon for $149.99. 28. A Iron Out rust stain remover you can use on interior *and* exterior stains from the bathroom to the concrete walkways outside, so you can make over your indoor and outdoor space this spring. The formula clings to the stain — you don't even need to scrub! Promising review:"My new BFFL. Guys. I hate cleaning, so anytime I find a product that makes it easier and faster, I'm in! This stuff works wonders. My sink had rust stains that I just couldn't get out, so I did what anyone would do... I walked away and pretended it didn't exist. But now, I spray this on and walk away, and come back to a rust-free sink. This stuff... Stop reading reviews and just buy it. You can thank us all later." — Laurane Petrarca Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 29. A deep-cleaning brush duo with a powerful scrubbing head for banishing grout discoloration with ease and a wiping blade to reach the crevices, crannies, and nooks that never get haven't at least since your last deep clean. Promising review: "The brushes are wonderfully designed and made. I absolutely hate house cleaning, and these tools help make short work of cleaning. The little nub on the end of the smaller brush is perfect for cleaning around drains and it's tough!" — studioprod Promising review:"This set is the best friend of those who hate cleaning bathroom fixtures. Instead of scrubbing and scraping, you can give a few comfortable whisks with one of these brushes, and the job is done. The brushes are particularly good at quick-cleaning the back of the faucets where you normally can't see what you are doing. Also good at keeping the silver drain rings shiny. Couldn't be happier with this set. Recommend it highly." — Rodger Get the set of two tools from Amazon for $7.99 (available in orange and blue). 30. Microfiber cleaning cloths that'll become your best friends when it comes to *streak-free* cleaning — use them on your car, stainless steel, countertops, wood furniture, floors (reusable Swiffer sweepers, anyone?), metal fixtures, and wayyy more. You'll get a better clean and waste fewer paper towels and disposable wipes — you can put that extra money towards exciting summer plans. It comes with two kinds of cloths (four each) — clean the glass with a damp green cloth, then follow up with the dry blue cloth. Shiny! Promising review:"I am obsessed with these cleaning rags. My windows have never been cleaner, and there is no pile of paper towels that I am throwing away. I HATE cleaning my windows, but these make it so easy. Literally the cleanest windows I have ever had. Throw them in the laundry when they get dirty. Do yourself and the planet a favor and get these. Also great on mirrors and glass table tops." — mckeeca Promising review: "OMG, these things are a miracle. I've always hated cleaning my windows and shower because it was such a pain to get it streak-free and I hated using rolls and rolls of paper towels to do it. After having cleaned the windows inside my car and doing such a poor job recently, I took my car to the carwash mainly to have them do that. As I was waiting for them to finish up, I started to wonder what they were using to clean the windows because they did it fast, left no streaks, and only used rags. I had used rags in the past with terrible results. When I got home, I started researching it and found these. They work unbelievably well, and I only have to use water??? Who would have known? I've used them on my shower, windows, glass, and even my stainless steel appliances. I hate cleaning my appliances!!! The only thing I ever found was polish, which was an absolute hassle and time-consuming. Well, THIS WORKED FOR THAT TOO!!! It was easy, only had to use water, and gave an excellent result. I wish I had figured this out a long time ago and saved myself a lot of time and irritation." — Amazon Customer Get the set of eight from Amazon for $17.98. 31. A Hoover PowerDash carpet-cleaning machine designed with pets in mind (but great for any household messes) that'll save you so much money on cleaning services in the long run. It can pick up deep-set stains, uses heat to ensure your carpets actually *dry* quickly, and is surprisingly compact and lightweight too! It's great for wall-to-wall carpeting *and* area rugs, and it only weighs about 13 pounds (generally heavier-duty carpet cleaners weigh 20-ish) so you can save some energy your other cleaning tasks... Promising review:"This is my new baby, and I hate cleaning, that is how well it works. However, do know that it may take more than one swipe to completely eliminate all of the heavy pet odors, but a second pass makes it perfect. It is not a big site, but great for smaller homes or apartments, even just for a rug cleaner too. Very much worth it. Instead of using a Rug Doctor that is 40 bucks a day, for the price of two days' renting, you could get this and use it as much as you need. Again, great little carpet cleaner. Easy to put together, easy to use. Clear proper instructions." — TheStonedReaver Get it on Amazon for $99.99. And a carpet cleaning and deodorizing solution you can use with said steam cleaner for a ridiculous level of deep clean. Not only does it knock out stains, but it's also biodegradable and nontoxic (and scented with essential oils). Promising review:"I live in an apartment, so the carpet quality is not the greatest. I had a stain that occurred from a garbage can liner leaking a long line of... I don't know what... across a four-foot piece of carpeting. No home remedies worked. Bought a steam cleaner I had been wanting, and this product. I am totally amazed at how well it worked! The stain is gone. I need to add that I had tried EVERYTHING with a lot of elbow grease, and nothing else worked. Whatever it was in my carpet, this product was removed completely after two applications in two days!" — Cat D. Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes). This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!

28 Products If You're A Slob Living With A Neat Freak And Want To Do Better In 2025
1. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and labels to help you transform your cluttered countertop or dresser into one worthy of TikTok stardom. Plus, your housemates will appreciate the newfound orderliness of all your personal accessories in the bathroom, which is a shared common if you don't always remember. Included are six blank labels to write on your own and six pre-written labels (Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Floss Picks, Hair Ties, and Bath Salt). Promising review:"These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" — tara savage Get a set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of two and three). 2. A pack of duster sponges — a great alternative to the always selling out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster — that allows you to clean your surfaces effectively to remove all that lingering pet hair and dust. Simply dampen it, wipe any surface, and then rinse when you're done! Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say:"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 are 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 pack of four from Amazon for $7.49 (available in six color packs). 3. A durable honeycomb drawer insert in case your drawers are literally spilling out — this fits into any size drawer and offers a geometric flair to your newly organized shirts, socks, and more. Now, your roommates or family members won't peek inside your room with disgust at all the laundry littered on the floor when they walk down the hall! Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, totally worth it. The gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I have, neatly organized, easy to I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $9.44. 4. Washing machine cleaning tablets to make all that mold and mildew lurking around inside of the wash disappear, and you'll notice it's working because your laundry will start smelling clean and not slightly musty like before! Promising review:"These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry. Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99. 5. A set of space-saver bags for storing bulky clothing, bedding, or towels by vacuuming all the air inside to minimize their size so you can slide them out of sight and out of mind. Promising review:"First of all, when you see 'jumbo' in the title, you better believe these things are JUMBO! These bags of limitless storage can hold just about anything fabric that you need squishing down into a manageable block. I've used these for blankets, clothes, and precious keepsakes and I feel secure in the knowledge that they are all well-protected. The plastic is thick but not stiff, so you know it's good quality." — Kimball Household Get a pack of 10 medium bags from Amazon for $19.99. 6. The very popular Chom Chom — it's a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 140,000 reviewers have rated it 5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered in cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y'all are doing G-d's work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles). 7. A Shoe Slotz space saver to help you organize your massive shoe collection in a way that makes sense and allows you to see all your options at once. The white device neatly stacks shoes on top of each other, so they take up half the shelf space. Did I mention this method also means you'll have a less cluttered closet? Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed, Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Sally Elshorafa has to say about this handy organization unit: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Promising review: "These things are genius. I had my closet redone and asked for the back wall to have cubbies so I can easily display my shoes, but I either underestimated the number of shoes I have or overestimated the space that was in the closet and I couldn't display them all. I bought a few packs of these and now I have extra space. I guess I'll have to go out and buy more shoes now!" — Hercules Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $39.99 (available in various multipacks). 8. A jar of the internet-famous The Pink Stuff, a mildly abrasive paste designed to erase even the most difficult of stains in your home, from hard water stains in the bathroom to caked-up grease and food on the stovetop. Seriously, it's earned its loyal TikTok fanbase and hundreds of thousands of positive reviews for a darn good reason. In 2025, we're removing that questionable stain from the wall and getting our deposits back! Promising review:"This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 9. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad because sharing the chores and bills can get expensive, but having one (or several) of these offers a more efficient and sustainable way of cleaning by getting rid of wasteful disposable mop pads. Your *entire* household will be grateful at the eco-friendly update and also the extra change in their pocket from making the switch this year! Each machine washable mop pad can replace up to 100 disposable pads *and* be washed up to 100 times! Turbo Mops is a small business established in 2018 to provide eco-conscious cleaning supplies. Promising review:"I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $17! 10. A retro acrylic beauty organizer in case your makeup and skincare products are scattered across the bathroom sink because they have no place to go. This very chic organizer even includes a lid to keep your products dust-free and tidy on your vanity, countertop, or dresser! Amazon Here's what shopping aficionado and BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has to say: "I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity!" Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it's not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part, it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" — SGD1978 Get it from Amazon for $48.99+ (available in six colors and with or without a brush organizer). 11. A styling station that's designed with silicone and heat-resistant mesh, so all your hot tools can safely end up where they belong after use and you don't have to worry about leaving your straightener on to cool down on your countertop. 😅 Amazon Plus, it conveniently hangs on your towel rack! Promising review:"I have a ridiculously small bathroom and a super small vanity. After too many instances of my dryer and straightener falling to the floor, I went searching for an option to get them off the non-existent counter and onto the towel holder next to my sink. This product has done the trick — it helps me keep my counter space organized and provides me with a great, heat-resistant holder to place them in while I'm working through my hair. Highly recommend!" — Amazon Customer 12. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover to dissolve years of nasty-looking, impossible-to-clean mineral buildup and staining in your shower, toilet, tub, or faucet in a matter of minutes! This professional-quality cleaner will help restore your plumbing fixtures and even your brick and concrete finishings with a spray and a light scrub. One treatment can deliver results that keep repelling stains for months afterward! Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this… This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, it's the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 13. An over-the-door basket system for anyone who's running out of places to store things but still has empty doors... Now, you can hang your daily must-haves in a place where you won't forget them, and you won't need to reorganize your cabinet space to do it. Wayfair Promising review:"This cabinet door organizer is the perfect use of 'vertical space' in my small bathroom! I now have all my supplements and bathroom potions out of my tiny hall linen closet and its conveniently located on the door for easy access! Great product!" — Amy Get it from Wayfair for $46.99 (originally $78.99; available in six colors). 14. Dawn Powerwash which saves you time by eliminating the need for a pre-soak since the spray helps break down grease and food debris in minutes. And then you just wipe the mess away. 🥲 This is a PSA to stop peeving off your household in 2025 by letting dishes "soak" overnight in the sink. Amazon Promising reviews: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. " The only dish soap allowed in my household. 😅 Jk have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit from Amazon for $8.44. 15. A very powerful portable vacuum cleaner that deserves a permanent place in your car, so you can actually start giving your housemates and friends rides without being embarrassed about the state of your car. It plugs into your 12V car outlet with a stretchy cord and three detailing attachments to get into all those hard-to-reach places. Included with the vacuum are a carrying bag, filter brush, spare HEPA filter, and flathead, extendable, and brush attachments. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $27.49+ (available cordless or plug-in). 16. A no-scrub, bleach-free Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner for anyone who doesn't have enough time to deal with the stubborn rings in your bathtub — or worse, the mildew growing in the hard-to-reach corners of your shower. Simply spray down your shower after getting out and remember to rinse it 8–12 hours later (or before the next time you get in)...then marvel at how all the gunk disappears! Amazon, Promising review:" 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned so much gunk out of my shower I didn't even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents and two sizes). 17. An expanding file folder — it fits up to 200 pieces of paper, so you can make 2025 your year of organization and finally do something with the stack of mail, receipts, paperwork, etc. cluttering up the mailbox-slash-command center your roommates have been begging you to use. Promising reviews: "This organizes my paperwork. It holds a lot and I love the pastel color of it. It came with labels to help identify each slot. It's made of plastic but still sturdy enough." — SuzyB "I own more than six of these, and they never disappoint! I recommend it for organizing all of your documents. I personally use it to separate my tax paperwork, paid off bills, work documents, etc. The possibilities are endless." — Honest Reviews Get it from Amazon for $5.08+ (available in 13 colors). 18. This brilliant shelf organizer/extra hanging rod combo if you own so many clothes that no empty closet space shall prosper. Now, you can keep your sweaters and tops folded neatly away in the storage shelves *and* still have space to hang skirts, pants, and other items on the bottom rod! Promising review:"I'm basically obsessed with this thing already. I just got it today so I can't speak to long-term, but it's amazing how much space this frees up. I have a 1940s house, therefore 1940s tiny closets, and I need to get creative in my space organization. This thing was just what I needed to store sweaters on top and hang all other tops on the bottom. You can't see in the photo but my closet has some space on both sides that's just half filled now and used to be filled to the brim, barely able to move the hangers. This storage solution makes displaying the sweaters nicer than in drawers of my dresser or hanging. It honestly appears very sturdy and quality to me. The fabric is thick, and the hooks and bar are both metal. All in all one of my favorite purchases from Amazon." — BobbyL Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes). 19. A pack of versatile, expandable, zero-tools-necessary drawer dividers, so you can quickly and effortlessly customize the interior of that one junk drawer you currently refuse to open so it'll finally function perfectly to suit your needs.

Works for makeup drawers, too! Do not hesitate to buy these, definite quality and very customizable!" — Jennifer Hudson Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in four colors). 20. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because a clean coffee maker = a happy home full of caffeinated people! But seriously — pop in one of these convenient cleaning pods and make your roommates happy by getting a better clean on your used-many-times-a-day Keurig. You'll be super grossed out, but *super* grateful when you see all the gunk coming out of your coffee maker that won't make it into your next cup. Promising review:"This was easy to use. Just pop in and let the system do the work. No downtime, no waiting. Simple and easy to use. I did notice a difference after the first use. Highly recommend it." — vetrie Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in larger multipacks). 21. A laundry folding board that works in less than five seconds to transform your closet and shirt drawers into an organized haven. Surprise your housemates this year by actually being able to *sit* on the couch since it won't be covered with unfolded baskets of laundry! 😭 Amazon, Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in five colors). 22. An adhesive cord organizer which sticks onto your appliances, so you can easily tie up that annoying eyesore of a cord when you're not using your mixer, air fryer, blender, fan, vacuum, etc. No more cluttered counters in 2025! Amazon Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action. Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying, 'this is so much neater!' To each their own, I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (also available in a four-pack). 23. And a ventilated cable management box, so you can put all those tangled cords out of sight without having to rearrange all your electronics.

Now, you won't have to get on your hands and knees, scrubbing until you're spent just to clean the soap scum staining the bottom of your tub. Drill Brush is a small biz created by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to properly clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). 25. A double-layered, water-resistant cat litter-trapping mat created with a honeycomb design to catch and trap litter your cat might track onto the floor. Sure, everyone might love cuddling up with your feline baby, but it's YOUR cat, and no one enjoys getting sand pellets stuck in their bare feet or socks. And whenever you're ready to clean, just press the sides in to open the mat and dump it out (into the litter box or trash)! Promising review:"This litter mat is a lifesaver. I was facing a real issue with my two new kittens tracking litter EVERYWHERE, so much so that I was considering switching from the litter I love to something non-tracking because there were no good alternatives. Much research later, I come across this mat. I will say it was bigger and more square than I thought, but I think that is a good thing! It is so large and covers the area well. Now, the litter tracking is 99% contained! Best litter mat I have ever had!" — Rachel Ray 26. A bottle of Liquid Plumr Pro Strength Hair Clog Eliminator — a gel-based drain cleaner that literally melts hair away in three simple steps: pour, let sit, and drain with piping-hot water. And it's under $10, so definitely worth adding to your cleaning arsenal in case your household boasts a lot of long or thick-haired people and/or animals, and you don't want to have to bother with a plumber! 😭 BTW, this product is designed specifically for drains clogged with hair! For a different drain cleaner, check out this one! Having never read a review of this product, I used it and now I'm furious I didn't do a before and after photo. My shower drain, which had hair from previous tenants, soap scum deep in there, and more grossness from before I moved in five months now 98% clear and looks like a completely new drain. The hair that is still there is attached to my handy dandy drain cover, so no biggie to get rid of. This was the easiest drain product I've ever used and it didn't require me to even look at the nastiest lurking down there. All I had to do was pour the entire bottle (I poured most of it, but I was skeptical, so I saved some just in case), let it sit for 15 minutes, and then pour hot water down the drain. For this, I boiled water in my tea pot and poured it down the drain and everything is gone! I could cry. This is my new go-to drain product from now on — so if your drain is gross and you want nothing to do with it, definitely grab a bottle of this! Promising review: "Our drain was super clogged with hair and soap scum! Three women, a golden retriever, and a golden doodle! So when I say super clogged, I mean SUPER CLOGGED. No water was draining. I tried to use one of those sticks that you put down the drain to pull hair out and I got very little. I started a big pot of water on the stove, but I didn't let it get to a boil. I poured the whole pot of water in and BAM, the tub took a second and it drained. Honestly, I thought I was at the point of having to call a plumber, so I was shocked. I turned the water on and filled up the tub just to see what happened, and it kept draining perfectly! We're at about a month later and she's still draining like a champ! So, I would recommend this product a million times over, 10/10!" — Ian Get it from Amazon for $6.58. 27. A pack of multi-surface restorative wipes to bring new life back into your faded surfaces and furniture, so that it looks like you just brought it home. Plus, they even help protect your items from future damage! These work on everything from vinyl, plastic, and painted surfaces to metal and fiberglass. Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home Get five wipes from Amazon for $15.99. 28. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll help remove annoying fingerprints, stains, and other miscellaneous residue that ends up on your sleek, shiny appliances. It even comes with a microfiber cloth for streak-free cleaning that delivers a shine reviewers swear lasts for days!

If You'd Describe Yourself As A Neat Freak, I Honestly Can't Believe You Don't Already Have These 57 Products
1. A durable honeycomb drawer insert, because it's borderline impossible to keep those sock and indie drawers organized, even if you're the most Type A human. These neat little compartments are designed to corral your socks, scarves, ties, undies, etc. in style, because a more organized drawer = a drawer that can hold more. The pieces just *snap* together for easy assembly, and the design expands to fit whatever size drawer you have. Promising review:"Okay, admittedly, I am a bit of an organization freak. I purchased two of these organizers (yes, you do need two PER drawer) to organize my underwear drawer. I agree that $20 seems like a lot to pay for a few pieces of plastic to organize a drawer no one else really sees, totally worth it. T he gratification I got from being able to see exactly what I had, neatly organized, easy to I definitely recommend this product. And the actual dividers are well-made and super easy to assemble. As a previous reviewer said, the number of times you will look at your drawer and be totally satisfied makes the price well worth it." — Brigette Get it from Amazon for $9.54 (also available in black). 2. A pack of damp sponges that make dusting almost effortless (and are an alternative to the more expensive and always sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster). Just dampen and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface instead of flying into the air. Just rinse clean and you're done! 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 it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color packs). 3. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids and included labels so you can star in your very own restocking TikTok — even if it's just pretend. Plus, they'll look so neat and organized in your bathroom or on your vanity, and you won't have to rifle through your medicine cabinet next time you need a cotton swab. The set of 12 labels includes six blank ones so you can write your own, and six pre-written with various bathroom needs (Cotton Balls, Cotton Swabs, Cotton Pads, Hair Ties, Floss Picks, Bath Salt). Promising review:"These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" — tara savage Get the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99. 4. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 5. A foaming carpet shampoo people love to use on their car interiors. And with all the ice cream cones I've dribbled in my life, I can CERTAINLY understand why. And anyone with a dog? Yep, you need this. It's citrus scented so after it FOAMS AWAY deep-set stains, you'll be left with a refreshing scent rather than "Old McDonald's Fries." Promising review:" Sorcery. The old possible explanation. I would've been happy if this stuff worked half as well as the reviews made it seem. But holy cow, this fabric cleaner is ~ i n c r e d i b l e ~. I bought a '93 Jeep recently, and the inside was pretty gross (check out the photos). The fabric upholstery looked like someone's Pepsi had exploded everywhere, with dark, drippy stains and spots all over the seats. After using this cleaner with a drill brush, these seats look amazing! It takes some work to really get in there and work a lather, but hooboy is it worth it. Check out the before and after photos! I'm so pumped. This stuff is great! Definitely a lifelong customer now." — S. Wheeler Get it from Amazon for $11.99. 6. And a vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because your ride deserves to be as crumb-free as your home. This lil' guy plugs into your 12V outlets and sucks up all of the dirt, dead leaf particles, McDonalds french fry salt, and all the other detritus accumulating on the floors and seats — it has three attachments for detailing in alllll the nooks and crannies. Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases we've made in a while. Two kids + snacks in a minivan = lots of crumbs. We were taking our van to the car wash twice a week to vacuum it, but this little vacuum has changed that. The cord is very long, the suction is pretty strong, and it comes with attachments that make cleaning up goldfish crumbs a breeze." — Anaiz Mendez Get it from Amazon for $22.49. 7. A retro acrylic beauty organizer *with a lid* if you hate the messy look of open storage solutions (that also make it much harder to dust!). This'll look gorgeous sitting out on your bathroom counter or vanity while neatly organizing all your fave skincare and makeup products so your morning and evening routines can be seamless. Amazon I have this organizer and I love it! It holds a good amount of stuff, keeps the dust at bay, and looks much neater than my old organizer, which just had slots with no lid. Because I regularly try a ton of beauty products, I paired it with a set of stacking drawers from another seller, which aren't a perfect match for the shade of green, but look good together on my vanity! Promising review: "Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. I love how this organizes my beauty products so it's not all out in the open on my counter anymore. The glass brush holder is the best part; it looks so expensive! Highly satisfied with this purchase!" — SGD1978 Get the set, which comes with the larger organizer and a smaller organizer for brushes, from Amazon for $51.99 (also available without the brush organizer for $48.99; available in five colors). 8. A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad if you'd like to cut down your use of disposable mopping cutting down on the efficacy of your clean. Reviewers actually think these pick up more than the disposable ones (especially pet hair and crumbs), and clean up easily right in the washing machine! Promising review:"I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but I always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture, it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then, using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if I ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" — Kathryn Willer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99. Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.99! 9. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that too, cutting through the toughest messes! Amazon Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it! Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good things about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." — Kim M. Promising review: " The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44. 10. A set of Rubbermaid Brilliance containers to streamline your food storage cabinet once and for all. Once you try them, you'll be ruined for your old containers. They're completely clear, shatter- and stain-resistant (no lingering tomato sauce stains!), leakproof, and have built-in venting lids to make mess-free reheating (no microwave splatters!) a breeze. Amazon And they're microwave-, freezer-, and dishwasher-safe, too. These are my very favorite containers — I got the 22-piece set to fully stock my kitchen last year, and now I never use my old containers! Promising review:"These plastic storage containers are robust and well constructed. They can even be shaken vigorously with soup in them without risking a leak. For convenience, they are completely microwave and dishwasher safe and have held up to 50+ cycles by this point. The seal is significant in that it acts as a vapor barrier (you don't smell what's inside until you open it). Huge plus. Additionally, you can unlatch the handles while keeping the lid sealed on, exposing vent holes. This allows you to microwave the contents without having to cover the top or worry about splashing – ingenious design! They're also gorgeous looking (and this aesthetic holds up, they don't stain) to boot and stack well." — Nicholas Get a set of five containers from Amazon for $21.99 (also available in smaller and larger sets). And we stan these because we use them! For more, read our full Rubbermaid Brilliance Containers review. 11. And a storage lid organizer you'll wish you bought years and years (and years) ago. It'll end the nightmare of trying to figure out which lid belongs to which container (or losing a and put a stop to the cascade of containers that rain on your head when trying to find the right size. Virgos, rejoice! Amazon The dividers are adjustable, so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have! Promising review:"I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer, and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." — Laura H. Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and sets). 12. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that does *both at the same time* (gasp), always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank) and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. And unlike regular mops, this guy retains 90% of dirty water, so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes. Monica Gellar would be so excited by this. It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." — Tsippi Get it from Amazon for $259.99. 13. Or for automatic mopping only, the Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop with two rotating microfiber pads (they deliver 150 ~scrubs per minute~), easy maneuvering, and headlights built in so you can see every stuck-on particle and sticky stain that's in your path before it gets wiped away. There's no cleaning solution involved, but the steam sanitizes your floors! It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone. Promising review: " I hate mopping. I love the Shark Steam and Scub. I have tried many different products over the years, always looking for an easier way to mop. The steam and scrub is by far the easiest product I've ever used. I was able to clean all my tile rooms in less than an hour. The power and steam were perfect, and having the long cord was great. When I washed the pads in the washer, they came out like new. I highly recommend this product." — Arizona Promising review:"I have four kids and two dogs and have struggled to keep my hardwood floors looking clean. This steamer takes minutes to use. It warms up in seconds and instantly has my floors spotless and without excess water. They dry quickly. Then simply throw the cleaning pads into the wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. I wish I had bought this years ago!!" — Valerie Get it from Amazon for $149.99. 14. A wall-mounted rack to keep your broom, Swiffer, and mop out of the dust before they can even sweep it up. And now you can actually (::sheds tear::) walk into your broom closet or pantry without seeing all the handles going this way and that — out of sight, out of mind (until your next cleaning day, of course). Freed up floor space = more room for storage bins!!!!! Promising review:"I have a small apartment, and the broom closet was always a mess, with the brooms hitting me in the face whenever I took the trash out. This saved me so much stress! The slots have little rollers and they move to fit just about any-size mop or broom. There are also little hooks that can drop down if you want to hold towels or the dustpan, which is what I use it for. This is a must-have organizational tool!" — Jacqui Nibbelin Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 15. A set of bed bands that will keep your fitted sheets neatly tucked under your mattress, if that ~loose~, wrinkly feeling keeps you up at night (honestly, same). Now you'll sleep more comfortably *and* be able to make your bed wayyyy faster in the morning. And as any self-proclaimed neat freak knows, making your bed is really the best way to start a productive day. Promising review:"I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February, and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three colors and two sizes). 16. The Chom Chom, because it's every pet-owning neat freak's dream that shedding exist. And this genius roller is the closest we can possibly get to that dream. It has a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in just a quick roll! All the hair will bunch up inside the roller, ready to be dropped into the trash with the push of a button. Promising review:"The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second-best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life, I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It's the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y'all are doing G-d's work." — SB Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 17. And Rocco & Roxie's odor-eliminating spray, an enzyme-based potion that feeds on the stains *and* stinks your pets leave behind (we love our pets! we love their on tons of surfaces, including carpet, flooring, furniture, litter boxes and kennels, and more. If it weren't for all the cuddles, no one would even know a dog or cat lived in your house! Amazon Promising review:"Very hard to find ANY fault in this amazing product. It's easy to use and smells very fresh! I have a rug under our dining table where our Chow likes to tinkle pretty regularly. I was cleaning with a steam carpet cleaner at least once a week — and avoiding the rug altogether most of the time — but the smell never went away, and neither did our Chow, even after using Arm & Hammer carpet deodorizer! But a few sprays of Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator and POOF! Smell is ALL GONE, and Chow has lost interest. I give this product 5 STARS, but it honestly deserves more than that! Will buy again for certain!" — ICH Get it from Amazon for $23.92 (available in original and light lemon scents). 18. A Scrub Daddy sponge, because it is one of the all-time greatest Shark Tank hits for a reason, and the ultimate tool for cleaning enthusiasts. All the Sharks (except Lori, of course) may have laughed at first, but this smiley lil' guy just plain works on whatever mess you need to clean up — and almost 50,000 5-star reviewers agree. If you don't know what makes a Scrub Daddy different from other sponges, let me tell ya: it's firm in cold water (for tougher messes) but soft in warm water (for lighter cleaning). The scratch-free material is safe on tons of surfaces: glass, stainless steel, cast iron, nonstick, chrome, copper, etc. And if you thought the face was just a gimmick, think twice — the eye and smile holes are great for quickly cleaning large and small utensils! Promising review:"These Scrub Daddies are the best thing to happen to sponges since the first person looked at a live sponge and said, 'I bet I could make one of those without killing a living sponge.' T hey don't smell! They clean like wizardry. And they last and last and last! I ordered these the first time at my apartment, and I've ordered them again for vacation. Helpful tip: Great for cleaning knives. This may give you a shudder, but I just stick the knife into the Scrub Daddy's mouth and pull it licking the cake batter off the knife, but never getting cut! Scrub Daddies are INVINCIBLE and AWESOME!" — J. Bogdanove Get a pack of five on Amazon for $18.99. 19. And a Scrub Daddy sponge holder to keep your very favorite cleaning tool suctioned to the side of your sink, ready to tackle any grimey task you want to throw his way. He'll drip dry right in the sink between uses without leaving a mess all over your counter (ew!) *and* the area around your sink will look so much better free of clutter. Promising review:"Finally, a nice place to keep my Scrub Daddy. Holds great on the side of the sink. The suction power is strong for its size, and it rotates with ease. This is a good holder for the price." — Luis peralez Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in black). Storage Theory is a small business that specializes in unique storage solutions for every room in your home. 20. A self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush, so it always looks like it's *just* been cleaned. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*. Promising review: " Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now, and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2-3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured why not, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy, if you have a hard water buildup issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first just to be sure, but I think you will be happy :)." — nima bean Get the kit from Amazon for $19.78 (two-packs of refills are available for $10.98). 21. A minimalist silverware tray that'll help you save drawer space and keep the cutlery from becoming ~clutter-y~. This is so easy to keep organized, even your messy roommate/partner/family member won't mess it up when they put silverware away, so you don't scream in frustration every time you open the drawer. Amazon It also comes in a version just for knives. Promising review:"I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmother's silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things to be separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it's just as handy and useful." — Jerimi Get it from Amazon for $7.49. 22. An adhesive cord organizer you can stick right on any appliance that has an annoying cord that's a total eyesore or gets in your way — from your coffee machine to your vacuum, fan, or more. Ah, so much neater! Amazon Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts, almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It's not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand saying, 'This is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it's supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." — Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (or a four-pack for $19.95). Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable, but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. 23. Hope's Perfect Sink, a sink cleaner and polish formulated to use on stainless steel AND porcelain sinks (plus cast iron, corian, acrylic, and more) to restore that just-like-new shine *and* protect against further damage. It creates a water-repellant barrier, so instead of your morning coffee, lunchtime soup, and evening pasta sauce just sitting in the bottom of the sink, it'll actually rinse clean with ease. I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink, and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here. Promising review:"I only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible. My cleaning person came Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and a quick rinse, it looks new. I've ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding. Wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it's honestly perfect.)" — EdUK8 Get the 8.5-ounce size for $9.95 or the value size from Amazon for $26. 24. A Furemover rubber broom made of ~electrostatic~ rubber that's designed to attract and trap dust and hair. Despite the name, it isn't just for those with shedding pets (although it's great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleagues knows firsthand, it's also great at getting *human* hair out of carpet in just a few quick sweeps (once you realize how much hair is trapped never be able to un-know it). You'll be surprised how much more vibrant and clean-looking your carpets and rugs will be! It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee, great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces. Promising review: " I use this on my wood floors and my rugs. I have three big dogs that shed like [wild]. It is the perfect shape and size to fit anywhere to get the fur trapped under couches, tables, etc. As soon as I got it, I tried it out, and my jaw dropped after how well it worked. It's completely made of rubber and molded so it wont fall apart." — Brittney Promising review:" This is the best $13 I've ever spent in my life. I've had it for three days, and I've told like 37 people about it. I don't have carpet in my house, but I have rugs, hardwood floors, and giant German shepherd hair tumbleweeds. I'm not kidding, I felt like I was swimming in dog hair! I was sweeping with a regular broom multiple times a day, and it felt like I was trapped in a fur dust storm. My allergies were begging me to find a solution. I bought ALL the vacuums and blew up every single one of them, including an actual Shop-Vac. This thing somehow magically attracts all the dog hair and dirt in a neat little pile. I will buy this again and again until I die." — Kimber Leigh Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in six other types/styles). 25. A laundry folding board that'll take your already-good folding skills to the NEXT level. In just a few quick moves, every piece of clothing will become perfectly neat and crisp, and (bonus) take up less room in your drawers, closet, and even your suitcase on your next trip. Promising review:"Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use, and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has, and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" — Kayli Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in five colors). 26. A spice *drawer* organizer so you can turn the messiest part of the kitchen into a clear, easy-to-read assortment of jars and labels. You'll save cabinet space AND never accidentally add cumin where you meant to add coriander again. Amazon Spice racks only *wish* they could. These drawer liners are made of a soft foam to keep your jars in the right position (label up!) so you can quickly grab what you need. And you can trim 'em to fit your drawers! Promising review:"This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!" — momonono Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in beige). 27. A genius cleaning ball you can just toss into your bag, give your bag a shake, and watch the sticky inside collect crumbs, dust, and anything else living in there. Ew! And you can reuse it over and over — just give it a quick rinse first! Amazon Promising review: "Best invention! I purchased it after seeing it in a TikTok video, and it works soooo well in my purse." — Wenhether 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 is a must-have!!" — dj3biggs Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in five colors). 28.

These containers have not only elevated the aesthetics of my pantry but also contributed to my sustainability efforts. I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." — Caroline Get the 7-pack from Amazon for $29.99 (also available in other packs and sizes). 29.

The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture. How effective? Well, it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form! Promising review:"This stuff is some magic sorcery. I'm not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace that nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that… everything I've tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have it on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn't even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." — Kim Montero Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 31. An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part.

Check out the brush cleaner in action on TikTok. Promising review: " This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty well. I added a few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… It's amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it!" — Mariela Promising review: "I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game-changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." — TaleSpinner Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 32. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner if you love having a clean don't actually enjoy the cleaning process itself. Now you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*, waiting 8-12 hours, and then rinsing to reveal a cleaner shower over time. And it's bleach-free, so no harsh smells! Amazon, Best invention ever? Possibly. Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments. This is wonderful at keeping your shower clean, but if your shower isn' right now, you can use it a few times in a row to get it back to sparkling before using it once a week for maintenance! Promising review:" 100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk in my shower I didn't even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 33. An over-the-cabinet storage system to finally neaten up your three curling irons, plus your straightener and blow dryer, so you don't full-body cringe every time you look in your bathroom cabinet. Bonus? No more tripping over random cords on your way to pee. Promising review:"This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer, and the cords were a pain, but with this metal basket, it minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. The bars are adjustable as well(just use the twisties that came with it to secure them in place, but the basket fits perfectly into my cabinet). Worth the buy. :)" — Alyssa Jewell Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six finishes). 34. A dozen Bottle Bright tablets that'll deep clean your thermoses and on-the-go bottles — no scrubbing required. These'll get into all those hard-to-reach spaces and remove *all* the gunk. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get a set of 12 from Amazon for $7.99. 35. A set of Shoe Slotz for any Carrie Bradshaw with way too many pairs of pumps to fit into an NYC-sized closet, or simply to make the most organized dream of any limited shoe storage you currently have. Just put one shoe on the shelf, top with a ~Shoe Slot~, and stack the other shoe on top. You just DOUBLED your storage space. Amazon It works with men's, women's, and kids' shoes — heels and flats! Promising review:"I will spare you the horrific 'before' picture of the complete nightmare that was my closet floor. Just imagine a dusty mess with shoes thrown all over each other in a sad attempt at giving some appearance of order, and you will have a good idea of why buying this shoe organizer was one of the best ideas I've had this year. The floor now looks so neat and tidy, I can't believe my eyes every time I open my closet doors." — Veronica, just an average reader, you know? Get a set of 10 from Amazon for $39.99 (also available in multipacks). 36. Or a ~secret~ slim profile shoe rack, because even shoe racks might be too much visual clutter for you in your front closet or mudroom — and can make it harder for you to actually look through and wear your favorite shoes. Plus, it's actually such a chic piece of furniture! Amazon Btw, the image is of two of the cabinets next to each other! Promising review: "Love the shoe storage. Mostly bought for the look, not practicality. These fit sandals/anything flat like Birks, running shoes, and Air Forces fine, but anything taller won't fit. Six shoes total for one cabinet fit. Would buy again. Does as advertised and easy on the eyes." — mmaj Get it from Amazon for $45.89+ (available in four colors and with two or three drawers) 37. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser (it's pre-mixed so it makes less of a mess than the original powder), because it's a cult-fave for a reason. Seriously. It works on SO. MANY. SURFACES — sinks, cookware, stainless steel, faucets, countertops, tubs, toilets, glass, grout, and more — so you can get to work and see results with only one product. Promising review:"This stuff works so well that it *almost* makes cleaning the tub fun! I bought it to get rid of some rust, not knowing that it also removes soap scum. This stuff removed gunk that I was positive had become part of the tub. It doesn't have an overpowering smell, doesn't need to "soak" for very long at all, and barely requires scrubbing. I was able to clean with a cut-up old dish rag — no scrubbing surface. Lastly, as a Packaging Engineer, I have to give a shout-out to the great packaging. The bottle reminds me of the ketchup bottles that came out a few years back that actually propel the product when squeezed. I was able to apply a thin coat, getting full coverage without being wasteful. Will definitely buy this stuff again!!" — paxaw Promising review: "Spectacular! We had quartz countertops installed in our home about six months ago. I noticed that the hard water stains were starting to develop, just like they had on the granite in our previous house. I used my new Bar Keepers Friend cleaner in both bathrooms, and I am completely amazed at how well it worked with so little effort. The stains were accumulating around the faucet-- now the stains have disappeared, and the countertop looks brand new again, with just one application. So quick and easy. I wish I had had it years ago. I love it!!!!" — Burke Get it from Amazon for $2.89. Check out our first-hand review of Bar Keepers Friend original *and* the soft cleansing liquid for more deets and photographic ~evidence~. 38. The Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you if you're TIRED of all the dust that accumulates on your trim and baseboard every. single. day. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360° swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees, so you can get your heavy-duty spring cleaning done AND make regular dusting touchups easier too. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: " Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 39. And for wayyyyy up high surfaces (including the ceiling fan), an extendable (it'll reach over five feet!) duster that'll get the job done in no time flat, no matter where the dust bunnies are hiding. It can rotate and bend at multiple angles, and it even has a microfiber head you can toss in the wash and reuse. Amazon It can rotate and bend at multiple angles, and it even has a microfiber head you can toss in the wash and reuse. Promising review:"Works very well. The telescoping handle has a super-long reach when extended all the way. There is nowhere in my home I can't reach with this. The duster really grabs and holds onto cobwebs and dust. I cleaned my ceiling fans without dust falling onto me and the floor below. There is also a rubber tip at the end of the duster that keeps it from scratching or marring surfaces, which I thought was very nice. My only complaint is that I wish the rubber handle at the end were attached a bit better. It pulls totally off every time I extend the arm, but that's a very simple fix and doesn't really affect its performance." — Julia Shafer Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). 40. Washing machine cleaning tablets formulated to blast away any hidden residue or grime, meaning your towels will come out of the wash smelling like clean laundry, not mysteriously stinky. They don't just clean the drum, but in all the places you can't see or reach, like the washer pump, valve, agitator/filter, and drain hose. Promising review:"These tablets added to the cleaning cycle of my front-load machine are far more effective than hot water alone. They effectively clean and reduce/eliminate mildew odors, which build, no matter how much I air out the machine after doing laundry. Just toss one into the basket when the cleaning cycle alert comes on, and your washing machine will love you for it." — Tami T. Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.99. 41. And a cleaning gel designed to help you banish that icky growth on your front-loading washing machine gasket (just take a peek at yours right now, I dare ya). Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, and then just wipe away with a damp cloth — all gone! You can also use it in your bathroom! Promising review: "I used this product on the rubber gasket on my front-load washing machine and also on the white caulk on my kitchen and bathroom sinks. Let me tell you, this stuff works amazingly! There is very little smell, and it is very easy to apply since it's a gel consistency. I needed to apply this twice to my washing machine since the mold was harder to come out. But it really was able to remove the yucky black mold that I had previously had a lot of trouble removing! So happy to see clean and mold-free surfaces. AMAZING STUFF!" — L.C. Get it from Amazon for $8.49. 42. A bottle of almond-scented Method hardwood floor cleaner to make the floors that have just lost their *sparkle* look shiny and smell fantastic (seriously, people looooove the smell) — just squirt and mop, no rinsing needed! As Ina says, how easy is that? Promising review: "Oh man, this stuff smells so good! Like almond cookies. And it works like a charm; the floors always look great afterward and there's no rinsing necessary." — Jess Promising review:"I own a house-cleaning business, so I am always looking for the best products. I've tried many products (including non-green products in my own home) and this is my absolute favorite. Many wood floor cleaners leave a film and can be sticky, but not this. Just squirt and mop. I've tried the other Method scents and they work great, but the almond is my favorite. My clients always rave about the scent and often ask what I use and where to get it. Absolutely love this!" — Jamie Parsons Get it from Amazon for $12.09. 43. A bottle of Quick N Brite fireplace cleaner designed to remove soot, creosote, ash, and any other grime that's built up on your stone, brick, tile, or rock fireplace over the course of the winter. Now that the warm weather is (finally!) here, you can have it looking brand spanking new until next winter rolls around. Promising review:"Cleaned discolored tile in front of the fireplace, which is used almost every night during the winter. The house is 70 years old. Followed the directions given on the product. Tile looks brand-new with very little effort!!" — kellyMReads Get it from Amazon for $19.99. Quick N Brite is a family-owned small biz based in the Pacific Northwest, btw! 44. Sprayway glass cleaner, which is reportedly the Very Best glass cleaner — unlike liquid formulas, the spray-on foam actually *stays in place* where you spray it to make wiping away streaks and dust easier than ever. Use it on glass shower doors, mirrors, glass coffee tables, and wherever else streaks accumulate — and definitely use it on your windows so you can actually enjoy the view outside! Sprayway Promising review: "Ok, this product really surprised me. This was the easiest application of a glass cleaner with instant results. No streaks, drips, smears, hazing, fogging, nice pleasant smell. The glass is truly mirror clean. Would recommend. That other cleaner that everyone sprays doesn't even come close to the ease and cleanliness of this product." — Mada Get it from Amazon for $2.48. 45. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to remove streaks, marks, residue, and fingerprints from all of your appliances with *one* wipe of the included microfiber cloth. And it helps keep fingerprints and smudges away — reviewers say the shine lasts for days! Promising review:"If you have a Sub-Zero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It's a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff. Oh wow! A few seconds of polishing and it looks amazing!! It has never looked this good, this shiny, and this clean! Best product ever!" — Katerina Get the set, which includes cleanser and the polishing cloth, from Amazon for $19.95. 46. A pack of restorative wipes designed to make your faded and oxidized items look refreshed and brand-new — they work on vinyl, plastic, stone, fiberglass, metal, painted surfaces, and more — so everything from your car bumpers to your mailbox to your front door looks years newer *and* is protected from future damage. That goes for the outdoor furniture that you're taking out for the first time since last year, too! Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter, I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" — Mom@home Get five wipes from Amazon for $16.99. 47. A 50-pack of super-slim velvet hangers to streamline your closet, and make it visually appealing, so when you open the door, you see a beautiful row of neat, identical hangers. And bonus: since they're thinner than most hangers, they'll allow you to hang way more tops, blazers, and dresses (oh-so many dresses) in your space. Because of the velvet coating, spaghetti straps and slippery fabrics won't keep falling off. And unlike similar options, reviewers promise the flocking does *not* come off of these and all over your clothes. Promising review:"These hangers do all the work for me. I was finally inspired to rid myself of flimsy, tacky dry cleaner hangers and bulky plastic ones — I'd have to size up my clothes in order to determine which ones wouldn't slide off the plastic. With these hangers, everything works, and the velvet is like an easy-to-use magnet for my clothes. Nothing slips. The space-saving design makes a surprising difference. I share a small closet, and thanks to these hangers, my side is roomy and organized now." — E. Marshall Get a set of 50 from Amazon for $31.99 (available in eight colors). 48. Shelf dividers so you can stack *HIGH* and *NEAT* without your teetering tower of sweaters toppling when you're rushing in the morning. No one likes a jumper jumble, and these'll help keep your flawless folding pristine. Amazon No installation — just sliiiiiide them right on your shelves (they fit any shelves up to an inch thick). Promising review:"Cannot believe I lived without these. These are seriously amazing! I cannot believe I waited so long to buy these and get my closet in order. Great price and came with eight in the package! Slipped on my shelves easily without any damage. They hold my clothes in place and give me so much more room!" — Cherise Kachelmuss Get a set of eight from Amazon for $37.99 (also available in a set of four). 49. A Bissell CleanView bagless vacuum designed with a specialized brush roll for picking up embedded pet (and human) hair, powerful suction on carpet and hard floors, and an easy-empty tank so you don't have to (gag) touch all of that icky stuff. Promising review:"BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER BOUGHT! I moved into a brand new apartment complex that was just built, and after being there for a week with three cats, I decided to vacuum the carpet and rugs. TO SAY MY JAW DROPPED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. The suction, without a doubt, is the best one I've ever had (including multiple Dysons). It is lightweight to push, and going from carpet to wood floors is amazing. The attachments make vacuuming my couch so easy that I'm done in under five minutes!!! BUY THIS VACUUM TODAY!!!" — Skylar Blick Get it from Amazon for $119.99. 50. Or a basic Roomba robot vacuum (with 18x more suction and 33% more battery life than previous models!) that'll do the work *for* you, navigating around your home, picking up crumbs, pet hair, dust, and anything else that keeps your house from feeling clean on a regular basis so you can sit back and relax but still enjoy all the thrill of a clean home. It even works with Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can control it with your voice! It runs for up to 120 minutes before automatically heading to the dock to recharge. Promising review: "This is well worth its price. I hate housework, and particularly vacuuming and sweeping, but I have pets who shed, and this is the best purchase I've ever made in terms of helping me with housework. I turn Roomba on when I leave the house, and when I come back, she's either finished vacuuming or is still working. I am going to order one for my daughter. At first, she would get caught on things, but now that she knows her way around, I can turn her on and go out and not have to worry about her getting stuck. It's also really easy to clean out the dust receptacle." — Lauren Promising review: " I was very sceptical about these but went on the recommendation of my daughter. It has changed my life (or at least my cleaning routine). It does take some getting used to, but give it a week and you won't be able to live without it! As shown in my photo, it picks up pet hair. It appears to be randomly going around my hardwood floors, but it must work on some kind of internal grid because it doesn't miss much. Before this purchase, I swept my floors approximately three times per week because of cat hair. This goes around every morning while I shower and get dressed, and picks up a full bin of dust! I wouldn't run it when not at home if you own pets, but I think it's perfectly fine to run while I do other things (it once ran over my cat's tail bc he was too lazy to move). Occasionally, it gets stuck, but I just go around and do a quick pick-up to make sure I get maximum results. I hadn't planned on using it on my deep pile carpet, but was amazed at how great a job it did! The room looked as though I had used a full-size vacuum! Get one! You won't regret it!" — Southport Summers Get it from Amazon for $129. 51. A three-part microfiber wand so you can dust your blinds, air-conditioner vent, and any of those other narrow, hard-to-reach areas quicker and easier than ever before. When you're done, just take the covers off and pop 'em right in the washing machine! Amazon Promising review:"I can't give this enough stars! You see these gimmicky type things and wonder if they work. This does, and is perfect in every way. Aside from my own house, I clean for others, and this has easily cut my blind cleaning time in half. Which is perfect for such a tedious job. It gets to the edge of wide blinds. When you're done, just throw them in the laundry. Worth every penny and then some." — AM Kipp Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue and green). 52. A set of three scrubbing attachments for serious cleaning jobs on your to-do list — you can simply add an attachment to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy. Promising review:"I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he's like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn't take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." — Heather N Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm. 53. Garbage disposal cleaning tablets that'll fizz up to blast off any stuck-on food particles, leaving a lasting lemony fresh scent instead of those gross sink odors that tend to linger... Drop it in, run your disposal, and you're done. Amazon Promising review:"Do you have a stinky garbage disposal? If so, get some of these. They are cheap and smell nice. And the foaming action really provides you with a visual they are cleaning the drain. After using these, the garbage disposal seems smoother (fewer strange noises, like it's been lubricated). I'd recommend these over Plinks any day as I feel the Plinks only hide smell,s whereas these foaming packets actually clean the disposal."— Sugacookie Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.80. 54. A dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant to remove limescale, rust, grease, and other nasty buildup so your machine runs more efficiently than ever — while you just sit back and relax. Promising reviews:"I'm so glad I discovered this cleanser. Plumbing backed up…the smell lingered after several cycles with bleach, baking soda, vinegar and dishwasher detergent. I almost gave in to purchasing a new dishwasher before discovering Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner. It worked after the first use. I now use it monthly." — lejay Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 55. A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which includes cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of baked- and caked-on food from any smooth range — no matter how long it's been there and what other cleaning products and DIY solutions you've tried in the past. Promising review:"Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well as every home remedy suggestion, and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and, after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I've invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it's incredible. 5 stars+++" — Implied Queens Get the kit from Amazon for $15.98. 56. A 20-pack of extra-thick melamine cleaning pads that'll tackle your toughest messes — from your sneakers to your stove to your walls — just with a little water and elbow grease. Everything will be cleaner than ever, and you'll save money compared to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers — I call that a win-win. Promising review:"These are the best. Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Won't buy those anymore, and these will last me a very long time. I scrubbed and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." — miguel mendez Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" — Keisha Marie Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 57. Chomp!, a stain remover designed to pull up those annoying oil- and petroleum-based messes from concrete and brick, so your outdoor space looks refreshed! Just cover the stain, let it dry, and you'll be able to brush it away (like chalk dust!) to find the stain gone. Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand new paver patio, and I tried Dawn and the Dawn Power Wash. Neither touched it. 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 up! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $17.97. Mood.

28 Products To Make Cleaning So Easy You *Almost* Won't Mind Doing It Anymore
1. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who is just tired of trying to clean those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must buy product!!!!" — Laura Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.77. 2. A pack of duster sponges, because the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are totally similar, for less! Just dampen, and wipe whatever surface needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean and you're done! 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: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia 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 it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in six color packs). 3. A TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter because dust, pollen, and pet dander can get you DOWN (and sneezy) — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you totally dusted yesterday. This'll suck so much out of the air, you just might find yourself dusting less often! And it can help your home smell fresher, too. Promising review: "We retired to the Southwest US, which is just a huge dust bowl. I didn't want to be breathing in the dust, and I absolutely hate to dust furniture. So I researched air purifiers and chose this model. In order to filter dust, it seems I needed a HEPA filter, which this purifier uses. While not washable, they are able to be vacuumed, which I do about once a week so they last longer. Overall, the price for the purifier and the filters was less for this model than others I researched. I bought the large model of this purifier for the main room of our 1200 sf Townhouse and it works really well. I only have to dust every 3-4 weeks, which suits me just fine. I think the purifier is about as loud as a white noise machine, so not very loud in my opinion. My husband, who wears hearing aids, finds it noisier than I do. I bought 2 of the smaller version of this same purifier for the 2 bedrooms. While they are just a smaller version of this machine they don't work nearly as well. It gets dusty in those rooms within days. I wish I had purchased the larger version for those rooms too. I've had all 3 purifiers going 24/7 for 4 months now and the filters are nowhere near the point where they need changing, again noting that I vacuum them weekly. So all in all these purifiers have been very economical to use." — SuesZoo Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." — Charles Tweedy Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $78.99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $39.99. 4. A sink cleaner and polish formulated to use on stainless steel AND porcelain sinks (plus cast iron, corian, acrylic, and more) to restore that just-like-new shine *and* protect against further damage. It creates a water-repellant barrier, so instead of your morning coffee, lunchtime soup, and evening pasta sauce just sitting in the bottom of the sink, it'll actually rinse clean with ease. I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here. Promising review:"Holy banana peppers! This stuff ROCKS! I hate cleaning. You clean, stuff looks okay and smells nice for like an hour, and then it's as if you've never cleaned. We have a deep stainless steel sink that I love, except for the cleaning. It never looks clean, so cleaning it isn't exactly rewarding. I mean, I clean it because germs, pandemic, etc, but I don't like anything about it. I saw this on some BuzzFeed "things you should buy on Amazon" and ordered it. And ignored it. Now, as there's a quarantine, even as an essential worker, I really have no excuse to not clean. Sigh. I splooshed some in the sink, like I did with Barkeeper's Friend liquid, and scrubbed away as usual. However, when I went to rinse, it was all sparkly and shiny and the water beaded up! I seriously made my husband and daughter come into the kitchen to look at my sparkly sink! This is the cleanest this sink has ever been, and I seriously LOVE this product! Off to order more before you all read my review and discover its true awesomeness. I didn't take any pictures before because why the hell would I do that, but believe me, the difference is amazing!!" — Amazon Customer Get the value size from Amazon for $29.95 or the smaller size for $9.95. 5. A fume-free oven cleaner you can spray on, leave for a minute, and then wipe away for an oven so clean, you'll think it was swapped out for a new model overnight. Time to reward yourself after all this cleaning with a cake. 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 6. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner so you can clean the whole bowl with one hand — and *one* product. Amazon I use these myself and they get the JOB DONE. Promising review:"Let's be real – cleaning toilets is a necessary evil. There is nothing that I hated doing more. I used to avoid Clorox wands due to the price of the scrubbing heads. Why spend that money when you can use your traditional toilet bowl cleaner for way cheaper? Because it makes it SO EASY. No need to deal with gloves, messy toilet bowl cleaners, keeping bristles of a brush clean, keeping the brush and container dry so it's not gross, etc. These wands take the YUCK out of cleaning it. I'd rather pay the few extra bucks each month to be less grossed out. I have one for each bathroom, but you could use one head for two toilets if you really wanted to. If you dislike cleaning toilet bowls the traditional way as much as I do, buy this product. You won't regret it." — Emily J. Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $18.99. 7. And/or a self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush, so it always looks like it's *just* been cleaned. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*. Promising review: "If you hate scrubbing the toilet bowl like I do, then this product is for you. The bleach only goes into the bowl water, not the tank, so it doesn't make your tank parts disintegrate. Don't get me wrong; you still have to clean your toilet seat and stuff, but this keeps the bowl itself sparkly clean! Just love it!" — S.L. Beason Promising review: " Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning, it was infuriating and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2-3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured why not so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now and from what I'm seeing I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy. If you have hard water buildup issues do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first just to be sure but I think you will be happy :)." — nima bean Get the kit from Amazon for $10.59 (two-packs of refills are available for $12.52). 8. A vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because your ride deserves to be as crumb-free as your home. This lil' guy plugs into your 12V outlets and sucks up all of the dirt, dead leaf particles, McDonalds french fry salt, and all the other detritus accumulating on the floors and seats — it has three attachments for detailing in alllll the nooks and crannies. Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco Get it from Amazon for $37.99+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 9. Dawn Powerwash, a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease. But it's not just for dishes — if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that too, cutting through the toughest messes! Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it! Promising review: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier ❤️." — Kimba Promising review: " The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." — Lizbeth LF 10. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner that sprays on water and stain-fighting cleaner, then sucks it away to blast away years' of mess — on carpet *and* furniture. Reviewers love it for banishing pet stains, spills, and more — without having to waste a lot of their valuable storage space. Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I'd bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don't even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning but I actually enjoy using this — it's so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." — April Bond Promising review:"Pet owner life saver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. I t's so easy to use, and minimizes the yuck factor dealing with pet stains. That's important to me because I hate to tackle cleaning jobs like this. It's compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it's not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. You Tube has some great tips on video." — Zona lady Get it from Amazon for $81.49. 11. The Chom Chom, because it's every pet-owning neat freak's dream that shedding exist. And this genius roller is the closest we can possibly get to that dream. It has a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in just a quick roll! Promising review:"This thing had been popping up on my feed for a few months, but I had a hard time justifying the price. I really do hate cleaning cat hair so when I bought my new couch I thought, why not? Holy cow. This thing is magical. It used to take me 15-20 mins to vacuum my furniture. Then I'd have to pick off all the fur to clean the attachment. I only had the energy to do it once a week and my allergies are out of control (yes, I'm allergic to cats and I have two 😂). Now, I clean all my furniture at least once a day. It's so quick, and the hair is scraped off into a compartment that is easy to clean. I would marry this thing if I could, but that would be weird. So I'll just carry it down the aisle instead of a bouquet. It's worth every penny. Buy it." — Tabitha R. Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 12. A Furemover rubber broom that, despite the name, isn't just for those with shedding pets (although it's great for that) — as one of my BuzzFeed shopping colleagues knows first hand, it's also great at getting *human* hair out of carpet in just a few quick sweeps (once you realize how much hair is trapped never be able to un-know it). You'll be surprised how much more vibrant and clean-looking your carpets and rugs will be! It works on all floor types, but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces. Promising review: " This thing is amazing!!! Great for area rugs, carpets, and bare floors. To say I hate sweeping is an understatement, dog hair is always floating away from the pile. This rubber broom is a game-changer, with two labs I always have dog hair to be swept up and this gets the job done without hair floating away. It creates easy-to-sweep-up piles of dirt and dog hair. Seriously just buy it, you won't regret it." — Trista Tozier Get it from Amazon for $15.93 (available in five other types/styles). 13. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stove tops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture. How effective? Well it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form! Promising review:"This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." — Jaiden Promising review: "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." — Patricia C Tinney Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 14. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner if you love having a clean don't actually enjoy the cleaning process itself. Now you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week*. And it's bleach-free, so no harsh smells! Best invention ever? Possibly. Promising review: "Let me be clear, I HATE cleaning the bathroom, all aspects of it, including the shower. At the same time, I HATE a dirty bathroom, especially the shower, since I got Lasik and can clearly see the filth and scum that until now was there but invisible to my blind eyes. Along comes Wet & Forget and holy shiny tile Batman, this stuff works! I use it weekly (unless I forget, which is part of its name oddly enough) and it really looks like I used some brute force to bring my shower to it's original glory. Get it, use dang it, don't forget it!" — Randy Bassett Get it from Amazon for $20.98. 15. The Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you if you're TIRED of all the dust that accumulates on your trim and baseboard every. single. day. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360° swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees, so you can get your heavy-duty cleaning done AND make regular dusting touchups easier too. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: "Oh my gosh, I love this thing. Simple to usel wish I'd invented it! I hate cleaning baseboards and this works perfectly!" — Leigh Promising review: " Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 16. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to remove streaks, marks, residue, and fingerprints from all of your appliances with *one* wipe of the included microfiber cloth. And it helps keep fingerprints and smudges away — reviewers say the shine lasts for days! Promising review:"Stop looking. This is the best. I love my stainless refrigerator but I absolutely HATE cleaning it. Until now! I have tried so many different stainless products over the years and None of them worked well. This is the only one that actually cleans like it should. I also use it to clean my stove and range hood. It makes all of them look so shiny and new. Once you try it, you won't go back to any other cleaner. It's the best!" — Shelley Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95. 17. A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which includes cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of baked- and caked-on food from any smooth range — no matter how long it's been there and what other cleaning products and DIY solutions you've tried in the past. Promising review:"Love, Love, LOVE this stuff! Who else hates cleaning their stove like me?? It feels like every time I clean the stove, it just gets dirty again. Well I found THE BEST clean for your stove top. I applied this once after having oil and food caked onto my stove, and within seconds of using the cloth to clean it off, it was TOTALLY clean. Seriously, this stuff is incredible. It also comes with a little scraper which is perfect for getting those little nuggets of food off your stove. Buy this won't regret it!" — Meredith B Get the kit from Amazon for $13.98. 18. A Bissell CleanView bagless vacuum designed with a specialized brush roll for picking up embedded pet (and human) hair, powerful suction on carpet and hard floors, and an easy-empty tank so you don't have to (gag) touch all of that icky stuff. Promising review:"I hate vacuuming. When I had to vacuum as a teen, I'd lie on the floor and cry. While I've grown less dramatic as an adult my loath of vacuuming has not decreased. Alas, I have two dogs, two cats, two men, and a crepe Myrtle tree. Vacuuming must be done regularly. I've had a Dyson for several years, but it decided it'd had enough last week. Ordered this guy on Friday. Y'all! Apparently my Dyson hasn't sucked in quite some time. I got up so much hair and dirt. I think my rug is a different color. Definitely helped with the dog smell. It's lighter than my Dyson and holds three times as much. Buy one. You won't be sad." — Shannon Miller Get it from Amazon for $118.43. 19. Or a Roomba robot vacuum that'll do the work *for* you, navigating around your home, picking up dirt, dust, crumbs, and pet hair so you can sit back and relax — and it even works with Alexa and Google Assistant so you can control it with your voice! Btw, compared to the older 600 series, this Roomba has 18x the suction, 33% more battery life, and map reports so you can see where Roomba cleaned! Amazon This one even works with Alexa! Promising review: "Gifted this to my mom for her birthday and needless to say it's been the best gift I've ever given her. She loves to keep the house tidy and my dad can not vacuum due to having issues with his hands and knees so roomba has become a great little helper for them both. It does a great job cleaning the carpets and moving around furniture. Its very easy to open to clean out the bin. They have loving named the Roomba 'Daisy'." — jtwy Promising review:"I got this for my boyfriend who has a a short hair cat, a long haired Maine coon cat, and a 180 pound St. Bernard. His house has never been cleaner. It's almost unreal how clean it keeps floors. Best Christmas gift ever. I want one for me now." — VeraVonVixen 20. An automatic makeup brush cleaner with a textured silicone bowl to really get those foundation- and eyeshadow-caked brushes cleaner than ever — without a lot of elbow grease on your part. Just squirt in some makeup brush shampoo (I recommend the EcoTools one!) and water, plug 'er in, press the button, and away the bowl spins, scrubbing your brushes clean while you simply hold them in place! Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port so you don't always need a wall outlet. This product is an easy clean with its silicone bowl, and it gives my brushes the thorough, deep clean they need in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this item!!!! You will thank yourself!" — Analisa Gomez Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three colors). 21. A three-part microfiber wand so you can dust your blinds, air-conditioner vent, and any of those other narrow, hard-to-reach areas quicker and easier than ever before. When you're done, just take the covers off and pop 'em right in the washing machine! Amazon Promising review:"I absolutely hate cleaning my blinds, and it was pretty obvious that I hardly ever clean them by how much dirt came off the first time I used this tool. I've only used it dry so far, but boy it sure does get the dust off of the blinds. It does still take a while to do it, even though you're doing multiple slats at a time, but it sure is a lot easier. I love that you can just throw them in the washing machine when you're done. Thumbs up!" — Dopey1200 Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 22. A set of three scrubbing attachments for serious cleaning jobs on your to-do list — you can simply add an attachment to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy. Promising review:"I don't normally write reviews, but I have to tell everyone how much I love this product. I HATE scrubbing my bathroom because I have hard water, and trying to get hard water stains off the shower is impossible. Until now! As soon as put the brush on the surface, it just ripped through the stains as if they were cleaning dust off a floor. I wish I would have taken a picture of before and after but I forgot. Not only that, but it was so satisfying to hold the drill and watch it destroy the caked of stains. And best of all, my wrists do not ache after cleaning my shower!" — RSCOTT Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces). Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm. 23. A mold & mildew removing gel, because you don't need to get your whole shower redone once this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g. Promising review: "I bought this product after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I wasn't sure it was going to work, but took the chance as I hate scrubbing my shower grout. I was surprised that it actually worked. The application was easy. The rinse-off was easy and I was left with the whitest looking grout! Ten out of ten would buy again!" — JAMIE A Promising review:"I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining moldy, but a little hit of this, and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need — just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 24. A deep-cleaning brush duo with a powerful scrubbing head for banishing grout discoloration with ease and a wiping blade to reach the crevices, crannies, and nooks that never get haven't at least since your last deep clean. Promising review: "The brushes are wonderfully designed and made. I absolutely hate house cleaning, and these tools help make short work of cleaning. The little nub on the end of the smaller brush is perfect for cleaning around drains and it's tough!" — studioprod Promising review:"This set is the best friend of those who hate cleaning bathroom fixtures. Instead of scrubbing and scraping, you can give a few comfortable whisks with one of these brushes and the job is done. The brushes are particularly good at quick-cleaning the back of the faucets where you normally can't see what you are doing. Also good at keeping the silver drain rings shiny. Couldn't be happier with this set. Recommend it highly." — Rodger Get the set of two tools from Amazon for $8.95. 25. A Iron Out rust stain remover you can use on interior *and* exterior stains from the bathroom to the concrete walkways outside, so you can make over your indoor and outdoor space. The formula clings to the stain — you don't even need to scrub! Promising review:"My new BFFL. Guys. I hate cleaning, so anytime I find a product that makes it easier and faster, I'm in! This stuff works wonders. My sink had rust stains that I just couldn't get out, so I did what anyone would do... I walked away and pretended it didn't exist. But now, I spray this on and walk away and come back to a rust free sink. This stuff... Stop reading reviews and just buy it. You can thank us all later." — Laurane Petrarca Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.98. 26. Microfiber cleaning cloths that'll become your best friends when it comes to *streak-free* cleaning — use them on your car, stainless steel, countertops, wood furniture, floors (reusable Swiffer sweepers, anyone?), metal fixtures, and wayyy more. You'll get a better clean and waste fewer paper towels and disposable wipes — you can put that extra money towards exciting plans. It comes with two kinds of cloths (four each) — clean the glass with a damp green cloth, then follow up with the dry blue cloth. Shiny! Promising review:"I am obsessed with these cleaning rags. My windows have never been cleaner and there is no pile of paper towels that I am throwing away. I HATE cleaning my windows but these make it so easy. Literally the cleanest windows I have ever had. Throw them in the laundry when they get dirty. Do yourself and the planet a favor and get these. Also great on mirrors and glass table tops." — mckeeca Promising review: "OMG, these things are a miracle. I've always hated cleaning my windows and shower because it was such a pain to get it streak-free and I hated using rolls and rolls of paper towels to do it. After having cleaned the windows inside my car and doing such a poor job recently I took my car to the carwash mainly to have them do that. As I was waiting for them to finish up, I started to wonder what they were using to clean the windows because they did it fast, left no streaks and only used rags. I had used rags in the past with terrible results. When I got home I started researching it and found these. They work unbelievably well and I only have to use water??? Who would have known. I've used them on my shower, windows, glass and even my stainless steel appliances. I hate cleaning my appliances!!! The only thing I ever found was polish, which was an absolute hassle and time consuming. Well, THIS WORKED FOR THAT TOO!!! It was easy, only had to use water and gave an excellent result. I wish I had figured this out a long time ago and saved myself a lot of time and irritation." — Amazon Customer Get the set of eight from Amazon for $15.98. 27. A Hoover PowerDash carpet-cleaning machine designed with pets in mind (but great for any household messes) that'll save you so much money on cleaning services in the long run. It can pick up deep-set stains, uses heat to ensure your carpets actually *dry* quickly, and is surprisingly compact and lightweight too! It's great for wall-to-wall carpeting *and* area rugs, and it only weighs about 13 pounds (generally heavier-duty carpet cleaners weigh 20-ish) so you can save some energy your other cleaning tasks... Promising review:"This is my new baby and I hate cleaning, that is how well it works. However, do know that it may take more than one swipe to completely eliminate all of the heavy pet odors, but a second pass makes it perfect. It is not a big item but great for smaller homes or apartments, even just for a rug cleaner too. Very much worth it. Instead of using a rug doctor that is 40 bucks a day, for the price of two days' renting, you could get this and use it as much as you need. Again, great little carpet cleaner. Easy to put together, easy to use. Clear proper instructions." — TheStonedReaver Get it on Amazon for $99.99. And a carpet cleaning and deodorizing solution you can use with a steam cleaner for a ridiculous level of deep clean. Not only does it knock out stains, but it's also biodegradable and nontoxic (and scented with essential oils). Promising review:"I live in an apartment so the carpet quality is not the greatest. I had a stain that occurred from a garbage can liner leaking a long line of... I don't know what... across a four-foot piece of carpeting. No home remedies worked. Bought a steam cleaner I had been wanting and this product. I am totally amazed at how well it worked! The stain is gone. I need to add that I had tried EVERYTHING with a lot of elbow grease and nothing else worked. Whatever it was in my carpet this product was removed completely after two applications in two days!" — Cat D. Get it from Amazon for $21.99. This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! 28. Puracy's all-in-one cleaning concentrate you can dilute and use on just about everything — floors, countertops, dishes, windows, laundry, and more — so you don't have to keep swapping out bottles in your linen closet. Promising review:"I'm lazy and I really hate cleaning so I have no qualms about using regular cleaners if it means I don't have to spray as often and scrub 50 times extra. Because we have a baby now, I decided to give this product a try since I have to clean nearly everyday and I wanted to minimize the toxic chemical exposure. I've been using this about a month and it's great. No additional sprays needed, no extra scrubbing. There was a tomato-based paste like puree food substance that my beloved child smeared all over the WHITE tray and I honestly thought it would stain it forever. But this handled it like a champ. I had originally bought it for baby products and stuff only around the baby but I find myself using it for the kitchen, counters, and pretty much everywhere because it works well. It has an herbal smell (not unpleasant) that is reminiscent of Aveda products. It's fairly light and dissipates quickly so it's not harsh smelling. I still hate cleaning but at least I can feel somewhat good about using a more non-toxic product." — JuneBean Get it from Amazon for $17.99. Btw, Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned small business specializing in plant-based, and hypoallergenic home products.

If Cleaning Is Just Something You're Not Good At, You'll Want These 30 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. An oil stain remover that can pull out those driveway stains, viral dust sponges, no-scrub shower cleaner, and more. 1. A plant-based all-purpose cleaner because you're not the type of tidier that'll switch between cleaning products per surface you clean. You like a no-muss, no-fuss approach because the quicker you clean, the quicker you can be finished. This is the cleaner for you *and* as an added bonus, reviewers say it smells AMAZING. Promising review:"This is one of the few natural cleaners that actually works! I can't find this particular type, the geranium scent, in my store so I was happy to find it online. I would definitely recommend it." — Christine H. Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in eight scents). 2. A verbena and lemon zest granite and stainless steal cleaner because perhaps you weren't totally clear on the fact that sometimes different surfaces need a different type of love and attention. And, perhaps, you found that out the hard way. To preserve what's left of your countertop, use this instead! Thrive Market 3. A jar of The Pink Stuff, which hardly needs an introduction unless you've quite literally been living under a rock. This stuff is the secret weapon to tackling all of your most difficult cleaning projects easily and quickly. And because you're not the label reader your roommates are, you'll be happy to know that you can use this stuff on everything. Promising reviews:"Pretty powerful with zero elbow grease required. Before and after of a shower drain." — Christina "This tub of magic is a staple in our house. I use it on everything! It's the best cleaning paste I have ever used. It's nonabrasive yet very powerful. Works great on scratches in the kitchen sink, pots, pans, stovetops, etc. This summer, I used it on our boat upholstery and was blown away by the results." — Amy S. Get it from Amazon for $5.49. 4. A pack of duster sponges because who knows what to use to collect all of the dust, hair, and other miscellaneous items that accumulate on your baseboards or corners? Just dampen and wipe — anyone can do that. When you're done, rinse it off, and you're ready to use it again. Watch how easy this duster sponge is to use in this video on TikTok. The Scrub Daddy Damp Duster seems to be constantly sold out, and these are similar, for less! I bought a pack of these recently, and so far, I 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 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 it from Amazon for $9.99 for a pack of four (available in six colors and two other pack sizes). 5. A nontoxic oven cleaning kit because you've never had your own place before and therefore were not privy to the information about when to or even how to clean an oven. Here's a kit that'll tackle the job without the use of harsh chemicals, so you can really breathe easy when you're finished. Etsy Promising review:"Five stars all around! The product is of amazing quality, it smells so good and actually works! I got this cleaner for my oven but also had a small pan to clean as well. I've only used it so far on the small pan, and I am super pleased; I washed this pan in our dishwasher two times, and nothing came off until I used this cleaner! Will be ordering again!" — Meredith Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $38 (available in two scents and unscented). 6. A set of six microfiber cleaning cloths in different textures that are cost-effective because you can use them, wash them, and reuse them again. They're great for cleaning many surfaces for a streak-free shine. And they are particularly good for electronics, glass, and windows. Target 7. A tub of 60 electronic wipes that's basically like waving a magic wand over your TV or computer screen so you can see the true colors of every outfit during your weekly Sex and the City rewatch with the besties. Promising reviews:"Great product. I was concerned at first because my TV was really bad. It cleaned it very well with just one wipe. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great fast cleaner for electronics." — rhonda hanft "MiracleWipes for Electronics Cleaning of TV Monitors and Computer Screens work really well. I will definitely buy more in the future. I've been looking for something like this for over a year. They are very easy to use and gave me a new flat panel 65" TV screen — I can actually see the movies now. I highly recommend this product." — J.P. Lawrence Get it from Amazon for $15.97. 8. A microwave steam cleaner for when the "soften butter" instruction goes horribly wrong. Just fill the Angry Mama with water and vinegar and pop her in the microwave. She'll get mad, blow her top, and leave your microwave looking brand new (so really, she's doing most of the cleaning). Ready to try that butter again? Promising review:"This little device is great and super simple. Fill to the lines with vinegar and water, nuke for seven minutes, let it sit for two minutes, then wipe clean. My embarrassingly super gross microwave wiped completely clean with a couple of paper towels. I highly recommend this." — UglyPetty Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in four colors). 9. A 20-pack (!) of extra thick magic cleaning pads that reviewers agree is a great swap for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These durable cleaning pads put in the extra work so your body doesn't have to. They literally take your dirty jobs and make them disappear. Oh, oh, oh, it's magic, you know. 🎵✨ Promising reviews:"I have used these to clean spots on my walls from moving, and I don't have to even put any effort into the clean. These work fast and don't take much elbow grease to get small scuffs cleaned off surface areas. I have given some to friends." — Vera Ward "I use them for cleaning all over my apartment. Brought my semi-permanent hair dye-stained tub back to life!" — Sam Cunningham "I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny, and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint them when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies." — Heather C Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos). Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a pack of 100). 10. A splurge-worthy Dyson submarine — that's right — the same cordless vacuum you love with mopping capabilities. If you're pretty bad at cleaning, you probably don't clean often. However, when you finally give in (because you have company coming over), it's worth it to have an appliance that can do two things at once, like mop and vacuum. Reviewers say you will not regret it. Amazon Promising review:"This is the best product I've ever purchased for cleaning. Powerful, lightweight, easy to empty, easy to switch between accessories. And the green light — just wow! I can see dirt being removed and am so impressed with the suction. I am now using this daily because it's so convenient and lightweight. I have two kittens and a dog, so daily use was needed. But I never saw the dirt like I do now. Highly recommend this vacuum. My only wish is that the green light was on the carpet attachment (but that works incredibly well). 10 stars if I could give it!" — TI Get it from Amazon for $949.99. 11. A mold and mildew remover for a simple, no-scrub way to get rid of the yuckies that seem to have moved in with you and refuse to leave. All you have to do is shake, apply, and wait for the magic to dissolve the stains. 🧳 Promising review:"I used two bottles of Marine 31 vinyl mildew and mold stain remover and it barely touched my issue. One spray of this high-power stuff and it looked new in less than a minute. It's powerful, so be careful and wash and scrub it off thoroughly. WEAR OLD CLOTHES, as this is like bleach on steroids! Half my pants are now white." — Bg2pres "I've been fighting mold in our apartment for the whole winter; it took so much time and effort, so finally, I thought that there should be a better way to get rid of it. I read the reviews for this product, but honestly did not trust them a lot — the reviews make it look like this product works as a miracle, and I'm an adult, I don't believe in miracles! But you know what? It does work as a miracle! 😂 I've cleaned my whole house in half an hour, screaming at my family members: 'Look! Looooook!!! Oh my gosh, look! It disappears!' 😂😂😂 I still have a bottle and a half. Should serve us for another couple of years. 👌😂 Thank you for an amazing product. ❤️" — Svetlana Lapina Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes). 12. A bottle of Hope's Perfect Sink Cleaner and Polish, made to clean, polish, and restore brushed stainless steel, porcelain, cast iron, and other surfaces to their like-new appearance. Great for renters who aren't able to replace the dingy sink and people who have an aversion to cleaning. Promising review:"We bought our house two years ago. Prior to us, it had been used and abused as a rental house for about a decade. Our porcelain kitchen sink was just disgusting. My husband tried his best when we first moved in to get it to even resemble the original white, but the bottoms were just permanently stained a tan color. I gave up. Installing a new sink was added to the to-do list. I saw this product on a BuzzFeed article and bought it on a whim; it was cheap and I figured it couldn't make the sink any worse. Holy crap! I'm absolutely blown away. I put a bit on the side with the disposal that was the most stained. I used a scrubbing brush drill bit on my power drill and went in a quick circle around the basin, 10 seconds tops. Boom. The sink was white. Not just white. The brilliant, bright original white it was supposed to be. I couldn't believe my eyes. I went to town on both sides excessively for probably 10 minutes total, and my ugly sink looks shiny and white again. No more new sink for us. I couldn't be more impressed." — Danielle Get it from Amazon for $9.95 (available in different sizes and packs). 13. An iRobot Roomba vacuum to roam around the house, tidying up other people's messes. This tiny helper learns your cleaning habits and suggests scheduled cleaning times to keep the house clean. It doesn't get more hands-off than that. Amazon Promising review:"Love it! Living in a house with four dogs, I've always wanted a Roomba. It's been an absolute blessing. Happy Mother's Day to me! Roomba, aka Suzy, runs every night as scheduled. It's been a lifesaver, and my tile floors have never been so clean. I'm amazed at the amount of dog hair that is in the dump bin. The first few days, the Roomba ran two to three times a day, every time catching massive amounts of dog hair." — P. Willis Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two styles). 14. A spin mop and bucket that reviewers say makes mopping quick and easy (for *anyone*) and helps the floors dry faster, too. The faster those floors dry, the faster you can move on to the next thing on your to-do list. Tap to play GIF Promising reviews:"It's great on hardwood simply because you spin all the excess water out, which cuts drying time down! I've also used it to clean walls and trim, was fast and easy doing that also. Would definitely recommend to any busy mom/wife/person that doesn't have a whole lot of time to clean." — Amazon Customer "I'm so glad I bought this. Now I can see why I can never find it in brick-and-mortar stores. I highly recommend this. The spinning helps you not have to touch the mop to wring it out. The shape of the mop head helps you get into corners. The material of the mop head makes it very absorbable, which is great for drying up the water on the floor. I used the twist mop for a while, but the mop head strands kept getting tangled and stuck, and replacing the head was hard for me. It was such a pain. I haven't replaced this head yet, but I saw how easily it clicked on. So far, I love this mop." — Sara Cabrera Get it from Amazon for $34.96. 15. A stainless steel cleaner made with natural essential oils to safely remove watermarks, residue, and grease from your steel sinks and appliances. A couple of sprays and wipes, and it's back to looking model-home new — no skill required. Plus, it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents. Promising reviews:"This is the best stainless cleaner out there. I own a cleaning company and am a repeat buyer of this spray. I absolutely love this product and it cuts my cleaning time in half, if not more. I keep a spare bottle on top of my fridge for quick cleans and have referred my clients to this cleaner as well." — Bookgurls24 "I was hesitant because other cleaners weren't great. They either didn't work or left a weird residue that dust would stick to. This cleaner doesn't leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!" — Courtney B. Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 16. A microfiber window blind cleaner just begging to ~wow~ the crowd by showing you how disgusting the in-between crevices of your blinds can be (no judgments). This task probably *seemed* like something better left to the professionals, but with this handy tool, anyone can do it. (Even you!) The cleaner also comes with five microfiber duster clothes. Promising reviews:"I used to hate cleaning the blinds. Even the trick with the socks rubber banded to tongs hurt my hands after a while. This thing turns the dreaded chore of cleaning the blinds into a quick task that takes just seconds, and it does a good job, too! It comes with plenty of replacement cloths so you don't have to worry about having enough clean ones." — C. Larkins "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine-washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." — marionvgt Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in green). 17. A can of fume-free oven cleaner you should consider using because you never really pay attention to the inside of your oven, and it's starting to look as bad as Tiffany Valentine after burning up in Bride of Chucky. And don't worry, reviewers rave that it's super easy to use! Promising reviews:"This was excellent!! I sprayed it in a cold oven and left it overnight. In the morning, the grease slid off with a paper towel! Truly no strong fumes. I cleaned the whole oven with no breaks to try to catch my breath from fumes. So easy to use and a powerful cleaner!" — Amazon Customer " I rarely write reviews, but this stuff is straight magic!! When we moved into our new home, the oven was disgusting! I absolutely HATE cleaning a freaking oven, but after reading the reviews, I decided to give it a shot. For less than six bucks, what the heck? I'll give it a try! Sprayed it on last night, got up this morning, and wiped it out with nothing but paper towels, and BAM! My new favorite cleaning product! I'm going to end up doing it again tonight just to have it all sparkly, because like I said, this thing was disgusting, and there were a couple of spots on the door and in the bottom that I missed. If I had felt like putting more effort into it, I could have scrubbed it clean, but let's be real here, ain't nobody got time for that! If you're questioning whether this stuff works, just buy it and prepare to be blown away!" — Brittany Douglas Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in a two-pack). 18. A 12-month supply of dishwasher cleaning tablets to clear out all the leftover residue, limescale, and other mineral buildup. This one lil' step will turn you from a cleaning novice to a cleaning pro! And you'll barely have to lift a finger! These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help get rid of lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle, and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tub and plastic tub dishwashers. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh in a magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware, which I thought was permanently etched and ruined, came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $19.95. 19. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet stamp that you stick onto the inside of your toilet to help maintain your bowl's cleanliness and freshness. Just one stamp lasts for up to eight weeks! The cleaning gel comes with six stamps, each lasting up to twelve days. Promising review:" It works! Our three bathrooms all get awful rust stains in a ring around the bowl and in the drain at the bottom. It makes the whole bathroom feel gross. Other toilet cleaners and stain protectors won't remove it. I have to scrub and scrub with a brush to get it off. This thing actually keeps the stains from forming, so I highly recommend it." — Lisa Get it from Amazon for $4.44. 20. A cleaner and deodorizer so you can revive your old carpet or dingy white area rug. You thought you'd need a professional carpet cleaner for this job, but nope! Just give this nontoxic, cruelty-free formula a chance and make your carpet look ~like new~ again — no scrubbing or expertise needed. Sunny & Honey is a small family-run business. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet-cleaning machines, so you like, have to get one of those too. Here's one you might like. Promising review:" The solution smells amazing, and it's even more powerful than the 'big brand' stuff. Absolutely love it. The instructions for dilution are very clear, and they even made sure to send me an email with a copy of the instructions. I couldn't be more pleased!!!" — Helen "I never leave reviews, but with this, I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I can, because 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! Smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 21. A bottle of Folex spot remover reviewers say must be some form of sorcery because their stains disappeared like magic. Just apply, agitate, and blot for instant ~wow-worthy~ results — easy as that! Be sure to check out our full write-up on this Folex stain remover! Promising reviews:"So my dog got into my makeup bag and got ahold of some liquid lipstick and, needless to say, I flipped out to see my carpets neon orange. It took about an hour and two rolls of paper towels but holy moly! WOW, did this stuff work! My mother recommended it to me after using it on minor stains at her house and I'm so glad I got it. Definitely worth the money and it really does disappear right before your eyes like the bottle says!" — Jen "The reviews and before/after pics had me curious but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains, but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle, you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294 Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in various sizes and different packs). 22. A drain snake complete with five refillable wands to effortlessly dig deep into your drain and pull out a nauseating amount of hair and debris that's probably been clogging up your sink for a while. You can be your own plumber now. Maybe you can add that on your LinkedIn. Promising review:"The bathtub drain has never worked well since I bought the house. Drain chemicals never worked much. The small cleaning heads were small and fit easily without removing the drain stopper. Immediately began grabbing hair and junk. Grabbed some surprising strands of fabric-like material that could not be identified. After removing that and other crud, the drain worked completely perfectly. No standing water anymore. I had to use three of the included heads because they tangled up the hair so well and could not be reused. Saved hundreds on potential plumber bill." — Old Dude Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 23. A Pikk-it tool because you were finally on a roll and getting the hang of your house cleaning, and now this hair tangled in the vacuum is stopping your mojo. You can use this brush to safely remove it from your vacuum and also your hairbrush. Amazon, Promising review: "Between me (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. 24. A far-reaching dryer vent lint brush ensuring you can get down and dirty with all that lint clogging those vents. An enormous amount of lint might be congregating in the deep, making this far-reaching brush exceptionally useful. It'll reduce fire risk and ensure your dryer is more efficient. If you think you're bad at cleaning, you won't be anymore after using this thing. See what this TikToker pulled out of their dryer in this video. Promising review:"Why didn't I know about this sooner?! A must-have for anyone annoyed at the amount of dryer lint left behind when you pull out the lint catcher. Now I can get it all. Note: you'll probably need to vacuum more after cleaning it out." — Interpreter Get it from Amazon for $7.99 for a pack of two (available in three pack sizes). 25. A pack of Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads so easy to use, you'll wish you'd thought of them sooner. All you have to do is set the pad down, stomp on it, then toss it. It works on both fresh and set-in stains! See someone use this pad to clean up their doggie's mess in this video on TikTok. Promising review:"It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old, so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog, so we didn't want to replace it right away, though. Well, we rescued a dog who was barely potty trained, and she put a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn't linger, but the stain did. We've tried numerous products, and none of them helped with the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness, it's working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we're laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won't regret it." — Kimmy Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48. 26. A weekly, bleach-free shower spray that you just spray all over your shower and tub, forget about it, then simply rinse it off the next day, letting the cleaner do the work for you. Reviewers say it can take on big jobs and is definitely worth the buy.👇🏽 Promising review:"I have a natural stone shower that for many years has always been a serious challenge to clean. With well water, we really have to stay ahead of mold and stains. The stone is very sensitive to harsh chemicals and so is the grout used. I have used MANY products over the years and even the best ones need a LOT of strength and patience (a serious workout)! This product is a very gentle chemical for the stone and grout but VERY powerful as a cleaner! The slight vanilla scent is also so much better than any strong industrial cleaner smell. Literally, spray on and rinse off the next day. The results are just amazing! Right away, I purchased this for my brother and mom who also love it!! My arms are so grateful for this very strong product!!" — Hudson Valley kid Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents). 27. A ChomChom pet hair roller to collect all the fur that's left on your couch, bed, throw pillows, and armchair like little piles of buried treasure. Just a few swipes and no one would ever know that it was once more fur than furniture. Promising review:"Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing.

Promising review:"I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues, and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use…I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results …VERY HAPPY!!" — Corey West Get it from Amazon for $9.95 for a pack of six (available in three pack sizes). 29. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes that won't break apart when you're using them to tackle big jobs. The wipes are soaked in an industrial strength formula, which helps them to break down tough stains like grease, ink, marker, wine, and more. Working with that formula is aloe, vitamin E, and lanolin to keep your hands protected, too. Amazon, These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, ANYTHING. Promising reviews: "I wasn't expecting much from these, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I work on cars a lot, and I don't like wearing latex gloves like so many others do. As a result, my hands get DIRTY. I usually use the orange stuff, but I got tired of the grit and having to wipe it off with paper towels (I don't have a sink within easy reach). So I thought I would try out these cleaning towels. I have to say, I'm impressed! They don't have any 'grit' on them per se, but they are just rough enough that they easily scrape off whatever grease I have on my hands. I'm sold on these." — thatguy "Perfect for cleaning artists' hands or quickly removing paint from clothes. I mainly use it for cleaning up oil paint that has not yet dried. This was recommended by a master artist friend. It gently and quickly removes all paint from my hands and even my clothes while I'm painting." — Dot the artist Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98. 30. A Baseboard Buddy — a genius device that'll make cleaning your baseboards a breeze. What used to take hours and involved you getting down on your hands and knees with lackluster results can now take mere minutes. It'll save your back from extra strain, too. Watch how easy it is to use this device in this video on TikTok. It comes with three reusable cleaning pads. The handle extends over four feet, which means you can even use it to clean your crown moldings! Promising review:"I have a whole house of 5" baseboards. I had new carpet coming and was tired of moving everything, but I wanted my baseboards cleaned before and after the carpet install. This works, and I did not have to sit on the floors and slide around the rooms. Nor did I have to bend over until exhausted. There is a slight learning curve on the best angle and where to stand, but it works. It also allows you to get behind furniture." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
