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. 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." A Scrub Daddy sponge, because it is one of the all-time greatest Shark Tank hits for a reason. 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. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner designed to kill 99.9% of germs and banish hard water and lime stans 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. 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! And 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? Hope's Perfect Sink, a 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. 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. 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! 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. Easy-Off, 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. Btw, it also works on oven doors, broilers, broiler pans, and stainless steel surfaces. 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! 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! 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. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner if you love having a clean don't actually enjoy the cleaning process itself.

Sharks v Munster LIVE coverage of the URC quarter-final from Durban
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Munster's mission to the Shark Tank with a place in the last four of the URC at stake. Munster last played at Kings Park at the end of October, when they conceded over 40 points and Graham Rowntree's reign ended in the aftermath. New boss Clayton McMillan will come on board in July and, since Rowntree's departure, Ian Costello has been in the hot-seat. The Reds had to scramble to make the play-offs - thus securing Champions Cup rugby for next season - but they have impressed in doing so when the pressure was on. However this afternoon's encounter in Durban represents a step-up against a side that finished third in the URC table having lost just twice at home this season - to Toulouse in the Champions Cup and to Leinster in the URC. John Plumtree has picked a side with 12 Springboks in the starting line-up, including Siya Kolisi and skipper Eben Etzebeth, but Munster have been able to pick the same team for the third successive game for the first time in eight seasons. That should ensure a cohesive performance for the Reds, who will look to their title-winning run-in two seasons ago for inspiration as they look to upset the odds in the humidity and at altitude. Expect another big performance from Peter O'Mahony - who is again in last-game of his Munster career territory - and also from the newly-crowned RPI Players' Player of the Year Tadhg Beirne, while Jack Crowley winning his battle to be fit after a rib injury is a boost to the province.

Shark Tank's Kevin O' Leary has a bold take on tariff twist
Ever since President Donald Trump announced his tariffs back on April 2, a day he called "Liberation Day," the world has been on a roller coaster ride it did not sign up for. As they were originally presented, the tariffs would cause earth-shaking change for businesses across numerous sectors, from automotive to retail to technology. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Those who relied on China for imports were possibly the most threatened, as at one point, back-and-forth clashes between Trump and the country led to a 145% tariff. By May, Trump seemed to be backing down on some of his levies after talks with certain countries, leading voices on social media to come with with the acronym TACO, which stands for "Trumps Always Chickens Out." Trump lashed out at the accusation, saying, "It's called negotiation." Related: Federal Court delivers massive blow to Trump's tariff plan Now a new chapter has opened in the tariffs saga after a federal trade court voided certain tariffs on May 28, followed by a similar ruling from the District Court of Washington, D.C. on May 29. The White House immediately appealed, leading the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to temporarily pause the void on tariffs while the appellate court decides what to do next. As the battle rages on, one of President Trump's most vocal tariff supporters has stepped up to give his own opinion on the matter. Image source: Willard/Disney via Getty Images In a tweet posted on X early on the morning of May 30, tech investor and "Shark Tank" personality Kevin O' Leary weighed in on the rapid changes unfolding with tariffs, taking a stand on his personal beliefs. "I don't care about the political theater; I care about policy and how it impacts markets," the tweet read. "Trump's tariff strategy might look chaotic, but it's forcing the world to the table. Markets are near all-time highs, employment's strong, and tech's on fire. That's what matters," he said. More Tariffs: Tesla, Elon Musk make drastic decision amid U.S.-China trade warMajor U.S. automaker makes harsh decision in the wake of tariff tussleTariffs will devastate this entire industry O'Leary also posted a clip of himself in an interview with Fox News, where he dove deeper into the comments he summed up in the tweet. "I don't mind that this president and this administration has this unique attribute of doing everything, as sausage is being made, with a camera there," he said. "Trump doesn't care. So you're watching sausage being made with all of this volatility just around the tariff narrative. He stretched and pushed the powers of the executive up against the courts. He doesn't care. And they push back. He doesn't care." O'Leary points out that, in his eyes, things are good under Trump's rule. "The market is now back near its highs. The economy almost full employment. We are killing it in tech, where I'm an investor. I'm very, very happy," he said. Then, O'Leary revealed what he thinks the president is really trying to achieve. "And yet the market is starting to figure out that what really Trump is doing is getting us to a reciprocal tariff maybe around 10% by the time we get to the midterms," he said. "That's kind of the vibe in the market right now. And no administration has tried to negotiate 60 trade deals at once. That's never been done. And so obviously now with these pushbacks from the gonna be a little slower." In another tweet sent the morning of May 30, O'Leary summed up his take, short and sweet. "Most people get distracted by the chaos around Trump," the tweet read. "I don't. I follow policy, because that's where the money is. He's rewriting the rules of global trade. Ignore the spectacle. Track the signal. That's how you win."

O'Leary bashes Trump's ‘stupid' Harvard foreign student crackdown
Investor Kevin O'Leary seemingly bashed the Trump administration's recent crackdown on Harvard's international student population, calling the actions 'stupid' during a Friday Fox News interview. 'Harvard's taken a lot of heat for other stuff, but they shouldn't be taking heat for curating amazing cohorts,' the 'Shark Tank' star said while appearing on 'Outnumbered.' 'These kids are amazing, and we gotta keep them here.' President Trump recently upped his attacks on the Ivy League institution, suggesting a 15 percent cap be imposed on the percentage of foreign students that Harvard University and other U.S. higher education institutions can admit. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in recent days also threatened to revoke student visas for all Chinese scholars. 'And I'll tell you what, many of those students didn't go anywhere. Many of those students were troublemakers caused by the radical left lunatics in this country,' Trump said of international students while speaking to reporters Wednesday from the Oval Office. O'Leary, who teaches at Harvard as an executive fellow, shot down Trump's claims without mentioning the president directly. 'They don't want to leave America. They don't hate America,' O'Leary said of the students he's encoutered. 'They want to get a passport, stay here and start a business. I think I'm one of the lone voices pointing that out.' O'Leary continued, 'Why would we want to brightest and the smartest people on earth and kick them out of the country after we spend millions teaching them? It seems stupid to me.' Trump's actions against Harvard have been stymied recently, as a federal judge sided with Harvard in its fight against Trump's international students cap. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
