Get a pack of 24 cloths on Amazon Canada for $7.79. Also available in a pack of 48 cloths.
2. A rubber broom that'll rid your carpets of pet hair, squeegee your windows, and clean up spills on your floors. Reviewers love that it does multiple jobs and say it works better than any regular broom they've tried.
"An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom, and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed colour (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will." —Emma Lord

3. A mini vacuum cleaner that can tackle small messes, like crumbs in your keyboard and pencil shavings on your notebook. Reviewers say it's even great for cleaning out your tent when you're camping.

4. A colour-safe precision stain stick, so that you never have to leave your house wearing a splotch-covered shirt again. The tip has little gel nubs that help massage in the product, ensuring it soaks deep into fabric fibres.

5. A bestselling gel toilet stamp that cleans away stains and rings with every flush. It's also scented, so your bathroom will always smell fresh, no matter what goes on in there.

This baby will save you from getting down on your hands and knees to scrub down your toilet bowl because it does the work with every flush. Using it is simple: load the gel cartridge into the stamper and click the button to apply the gel sticker to your toilet bowl. It's actually really satisfying to use and I'm happy to report it works, too! It keeps my toilet smelling fresh and saves me from having to scrub away gross build-up on the bowl, meaning I have one less chore to do every week. Each pack comes with six stamps and each stamp lasts about 12 days.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $4.87.
6. A tub of all-natural countertop wax designed specifically for soapstone, slate, and concrete. It'll protect your kitchen surfaces from stains and spills, without leaving it feeling greasy.

Get it on Amazon Canada for $19.95. Also available in a larger size.
7. A faux marble squeegee that'll help you scrub down your shower walls, mirrors, and windows with the greatest of ease. It has a rubber blade that'll leave your home free of smudges and fingerprints.


There's also a faux marble dustpan set available, if you want your cleaning tools to match.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $19.02.
8. A pack of screen-cleaning wipes that'll make all your electronic gizmos look like they're fresh out of the box. The solution dries super fast and won't leave behind any annoying streaks or lines.

9. An ergonomic gap-cleaning tool that'll get all up in your home's impossible-to-clean spots (I'm looking at you, window frames and shower door tracks). The opposite end is a scraper, which is great for tackling hardened debris.
10. This Shark convertible vacuum that'll allow you to bust every single speck of dust in your home. It can be used as an upright vacuum or handheld dustbuster, making it easy to clean everything from your floors to your furniture.
11. Or this manual sweeper that doesn't need any cords or batteries to get down to business and is way less annoying to maneuver than a traditional broom and dustpan. Reviewers say it's amazing for cleaning up pet hair and love that it works on all different types of flooring.
12. A mini drain snake that could actually save you a fortune on a plumber. This one has 4,000 micro-hooks and extends to 18 inches, so you should easily be able to locate and remove the source of your problems.

13. A stove cleaning kit that'll make your cooktop look good as new in just a few minutes. Just apply the cream to your burners, wait a few minutes for it to sink in, and then scrub away the gunk with the spongey cleaning tool. For super stubborn messes, you can scrape off build up with the razor.

It comes with cleaning solution, a razor, and a scrubbing tool. I own this stuff and it works actually magic on stuck-on food and oil splatters. I've seriously never seen my burners look cleaner than they do after using this stuff, and I'm so happy it doesn't cost a fortune (but I'd buy it even if it did).
Get it on Amazon Canada for $9.99. Also available in multipacks.
14. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets that are more effective than bleach and will save you from having to scrub down your entire machine. All you need to do is throw one in, set your washer for a regular cycle, and let it do its thing.

Get a pack of three on Amazon Canada for $8.98.
15. A genius door doodad that'll prop your washing machine open enough to let air circulate, so that mould and mildew can't build up inside your washer's rubber gasket.

16. A bottle of stain and odour eliminator that'll get rid of pet messes and smells in just a few spritzes. It works on pee, poop, vomit, and pretty much every other gross thing your pet does.

I've been fostering a puppy and this has really helped manage the messes she makes around the house. She's peed on the couch and carpeted stairs a few times and this stuff is a real and true lifesaver. It leaves everything smelling fresh and eliminates dark circles around accidents, too.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $9.99. Available in three scents.
17. A handheld grout scrubber that'll get all up in the tiny gaps between your bathroom tiles to brush out built-up grime. It has an ergonomic handle and stiff bristles that'll allow you to put in some serious elbow grease when you're buffing away.
18. A container of brightly-coloured cleaning putty that you can use to peel the dirt off hard surfaces. It can get into the tiniest gaps and holes and feels like slime, so it's super fun to use, too.
19. A mini power scrubber that's basically an electric toothbrush for all your home cleaning needs. Reviewers say it's great for scrubbing gunk out of grout and tiles, and is even awesome for shining tarnished jewelry.


One BuzzFeed writer says it also busts through soap-scum buildup like a dream. It comes with a one-inch scrubber head, and you can purchase a backup or a half-inch scrubber head to get into smaller spaces, separately.

Get it on Amazon Canada for $19.99.
20. A tub of stain-removing powder that can be used on clothes, carpets, upholstery, decks, gutters, and more. Reviewers say it's their holy grail laundry product because it leaves their white clothes whiter and their coloured clothes brighter in just one wash.

Get it on Amazon Canada for $9.87.
21. A splurge-worthy iRobot robotic mop that'll keep your floors looking fresh 'n' clean 24/7. It's small enough to fit under cabinets and behind toilets, so no corner will go untouched. It can also tackle dry sweeping when your floors don't need a full wash.

22. A bottle of car interior shampoo that'll help get tough stains out of your seats and carpets. Reviewers say it also works wonders inside their homes and that it can make wine stains disappear in a flash.

23. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sheets that'll make cleaning up messes in hard-to-reach places a lot easier. They're more flexible than the OG Magic Eraser, meaning you can get them into tinier nooks and crannies.


They're great for messes in microwaves, stoves, bathrooms, and pretty much everywhere else in your home. I recently dyed my hair and, because I'm messy, got splotches all over my sink, floor, and walls. You know what helped me get rid of all those unwanted marks? One of these babies.
Get a pack of eight on Amazon Canada $3.97. Also available in a pack of 16.
24. A 2-in-1 toilet plunger and squeegee that pushes out clogs in one swift movement and cleans your toilet bowl, too. Reviewers say it's way more effective than a classic suction plunger and works on bowls of all shapes and sizes.

Get it on Amazon Canada for $17.55. Also available in a powder formula.
26. A set of pumice stone wands that'll scrub away stubborn stains and make your toilet bowl sparkle. You can also use them to buff away dead skin on your feet when you're giving yourself an at-home pedicure (probably save a clean one for that, though).

27. A 12-pack of colourful microfibre cloths that you can use to wash your dishes, clean your car, dust your shelves, and tackle just about every other chore on your to-do list. They'll absorb water and dry faster than cotton alternatives, so they're awesome for mopping up messes.
28. A rolling pet hair-removing brush that'll rid your furniture of stray fur in just a few swipes. It can be used on both hard and soft surfaces, so you can even use it to clean your floors.

29. A trio of three-pronged microfibre tools that'll get all of the dust out of your blinds and vents. Bye dust, see you never!

30. An upright broom and dustpan set with soft bristles that'll catch even the smallest bits of dirt and dust. The dustpan has a row of comb teeth that'll help you clear the broom of any debris, so you won't drag it to a different area of your house.

31. A roll of reusable bamboo wipes that are stronger and more absorbent than typical paper towels. They're soft enough to wipe your face with, so you can use them in place of wash cloths, too.

Each roll comes with 20 sheets, which can replace 60 traditional paper towel rolls.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $14.99. Also available in a pack of four rolls.
32. A flexible coil brush that'll help you get all the built-up lint out of your dryer and vents, so you won't risk starting a dryer fire. It has a rubber tip to save your appliances from getting scratched up while you clean.

33. A 2-in-1 fabric shaver and lint roller that'll help remove pilled-up fabric and fuzz from your clothes. You can also use it on linens, like your fleece bedsheets, which is obviously a major win.


"I have a dog that sheds, and about a billion blankets that also shed. While those things are great for me, they are not great for my couch. I bought this lil' doodad to help me de-fluff and remove all the annoying pills from my sofa, and boy does it ever work. It has a razor head on one end (along with three interchangeable razors of varying intensities) that I use to scrape away pills, and a classic velvety lint brush on the other. It's worked serious wonders on my furniture and I've even moved on to brushing down my crewneck collection with it."
Get it from Amazon Canada for $19.99+. Available in five colours.
34. A bottle of discaling solution that'll cleanse your coffee machine of all the grossness that's built up inside of it (you can't see it, but it's there). Reviewers say that it makes their appliances work like new and that their java actually tastes better after running it through their machines.

35. A fluffy microfibre duster that'll trap all those pesky dirt particles, leaving your space cleaner than ever. If you've been sneezing up a storm thanks to all the gross stuff floating around your home, it may be time to invest in one of these.

I turned on the heating in my apartment for the first time this year (I hate that statement as much as you do) and was treated to the not-so-lovely smell of stale dust cooking in my vents. I knew I had to solve this problem before it got too cold, so I purchased this microfibre duster. It gets all up in the small nooks and crannies of my ventilation system and is great for wiping dust off my TV, too. To make things even better, when it gets super dirty, I can just slide the microfibre cloth off the handle and throw it in the washing machine.
Get it on Amazon Canada for $18.99.
37. And finally, a non-toxic lavender and green tea candle that'll banish pet smells and make your home smell like a million bucks (instead of a zoo). It can burn for up to 70 hours, so you'll get plenty of use out of it.
