1. A TubShroom that'll assist in keeping your drain clog free by trapping all rogue hairs and anything that probs shouldn't be taking a trip down there.
Promising review: "I was so afraid to wash my hair because the thickness would stop up the tub. This TubShroom changed my hair washing routine forever. They say you can leave it in for one to two weeks but I have to remove it after each wash because the shroom can't manage my hair thicknesses. Great product!!!!!" —Cassandra Edwards
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and in a multipack).

2. And a highly-loved drain snake if your drain is in fact already clogged and you need to clean it out before inserting a drain catcher.
Promising review: "I’m so excited to finally have a bathroom sink that drains!! Since moving into my apartment, my bathroom sink and bathtub took forever to drain. I bought multiple de-clogging solutions but they didn’t assist or help much with the problem. When my bathtub was taking over an hour to drain I decided it was time to try these out! After receiving it I went to work, and within minutes it pulled out so much hair in both drains. It’s disturbing/disgusting yet weirdly satisfying because now my sinks drain!! Cannot believe how easy it was to use (I received a pack of three) but only needed to use one for both sinks." —DebSd
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two lengths).
3. A can of Bar Keepers cookware polish to keep your pots and pans spotless from grease stains and most definitely the baked-on tomato sauce you just can't seem to scrub off...
It's great for removing food stains, grease, rust stains, and lime buildup!
Promising review: "I love this product! I recently got new pots and pans that I absolutely love. They're stainless steel and I love the way they look. Unfortunately, I've burnt something on just about all of them, but this really helped to clean them up. I put this powder on the wet pans and use steel wool to scrub out any stains. It's amazing! You don't even have to scrub super hard. Overall, I love this product and it will forever be part of my cleaning routine!" —KARINA
Get it from Amazon for $7.29.
4. A cooktop glass cleaner if you're outta control when it comes to cooking anything in the kitchen. That mac 'n' cheese that you got stuck on the stove...it's time to clean it off.
Promising review: "My snowbird grandparents have been sending me to check on their summer home occasionally while they quarantine in Florida, so I've had the fun job of shoveling snow off their deck and finagling a million envelopes out of their overstuffed mailbox over the past few months. On my most recent visit I decided to stay for a few days, and was intent on cooking myself a lavish meal. Well, I've never really used an electric stove before and, I don't know WHAT I did, but there were giant streaks and marks all over it after I was done. I tried everything to get them off, and I am definitely NOT overreacting! I finally mustered up the courage to tell my grandparents I ruined their stove, only for them to break out in laughter. Grandma instructed me to use get this cleaner below the sink and, well, the rest is history. It literally wiped the streaks away before my eyes. Magic." —Griffin Gonzales
Get it it from Amazon for $6.98.
5. A box of coffee machine–cleaning powder because the machine you probably rely on the most (hello, caffeine) could use a good cleaning every now and again. The only person you have to blame for this coffee machine mess is yourself and the overabundance of coffee you consume daily. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Promising review: "This worked great for our coffee maker. The picture on the left (above) is the first batch of water, including the packet of cleaner. The second was already much cleaner and the third and fourth batches of water were completely clear. Our coffee tastes much less bitter now." —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of three packets from Amazon for $17.69.
6. An all-purpose scrubber kit to attach to your power drill for one seriously good clean. Use this lil' baby on your bath tub and go to town on soap scum and hard water stains.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51, and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, hand-scrubbing for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes, AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door...everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in six bristle stiffnesses).
7. A pack of stainless steel cleaning wipes for keeping appliances like your refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink free of watermarks, stains, and fingerprints.
Promising review: "I purchased these wipes to clean my stainless steel refrigerator. I wanted something that would remove water stains and restore the shine, and these wipes delivered! After a few minutes of vigorously wiping back and forth along the grain, my refrigerator was looking brand-new. I was impressed with the results and noticed that the canister said the wipes could be used on sinks, so I tried one in my stainless steel sink to see what would happen. As you can see from the pictures (above), after just a few minutes of cleaning, my sink was sparkling and incredible! I began cleaning all of the stainless steel appliances in the kitchen, and just a few wipes and 20 minutes later my kitchen was looking better than ever." —Connor
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.67.
8. A grout cleaning kit in case you can't bear to look at those discolored crevices between your tiles any longer.
The kit comes with two bottles of Grout-Eez and a scrubber you can attach to a standard mop or broom pole.
Promising review: "This is an excellent product. I have tried several grout cleaners over the past 15 years since the majority of our flooring has been ceramic tile. This product surpassed all of them. In fact, nothing has ever worked this quickly. The three best features included (1) the instructions on both the bottle and with the product were clear and I followed them to a tee, (2) the perfect brush that came with it that fit perfectly into my grout lines and was easy to attach to an existing handle and (3) how easily the soil was removed from the grout. I would recommend using this around one tile first and definitely wait the 10 minutes then wiggle the brush in the grout lines. The soil comes up quickly." —Karen W
Get a set from Amazon for $39.95.
9. An extendable microfiber duster set so you can access those hard to reach places that still need to get cleaned — aka the ceiling fan, or your foyer windows.
BTW, this includes an adjustable handle that extends from 24 to 49 inches, a regular short handle, a fluffy duster, and a bendable chenille and microfiber duster.
Promising review: "Perfect for my needs. Love the telescoping design and that it has no protruding joints that would prevent it from fitting underneath furniture with low clearance. Reaches under, behind, and around all the tight spaces I can't get to without moving heavy furniture around. The duster is also very lightweight and can handle delicate situations." —Sjay
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
10. Or this reusable and machine-washable duster that perfectly works in tandem with your Swiffer duster handle. No need to keep purchasing throwaway duster heads! This one can be tossed in the wash after several uses and utilized over and over again.
TS Designs US is a small Etsy shop based in West Leroy, Michigan.
Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don’t worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch
Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $5.49 (available in 10 colors).
11. A glass cleaner because if you haven't been squeegeeing your glass doors after each shower, odds are there are a large amount of hard water stains just lurking on them. This glass cleaner will get them squeaky clean in no time.
Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit — the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass. It turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (also available in a pack of two).
12. A well-loved robotic vacuum to clean up your messes so you don't have to. Kick back, relax, and let your little robot friend do the chores.
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Teach3
Get it from Amazon for $199.99 (available in two colors).
13. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray perfect for tackling ovens with baked on grease that's lived rent-free way past its lease.
14. A scrap collector to attach at the edge of your counter so you can effortlessly swipe scraps into this handy waste bin (instead of struggling over to the trash).
Promising review: "So useful! I use mine more as a small trash collector. I have mine next to the stove for eggshells and anything else I may want to toss quickly. Also, I line it with a plastic produce bag so that it doesn't get grimy and dirty. Not only this, but using this as a small trash can, I end up using my large kitchen trash bag as a bin for my smaller produce-bag-wrapped trash bags (and/or trash items that don't have a smell). This means my large trash can usually doesn't smell bad, since it's only ever full of smaller wrapped trash bags. Maybe it seems a little strange, but for someone who usually only cooks for one, I don't like my large trashcan to be partially full and already smell like it needs to be taken out." —Shaz
Get it from Amazon for $17.77 (available in two colors).
15. A Glisten garbage disposer cleaner so you can keep your food scrap dumping station crystal clean and free of gunk.
You just pop the packet down the drain! Can't get any easier.
Promising review: "Holy cow I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, in my naïve thinking, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. Little did I know that there was an actual cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILÀ! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Let me say that anytime I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of those packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Worth every penny!" —VadersGirl
Get four from Amazon for $3.98.
16. A Flush 'N Sparkle Toilet cleaning system to install in your toilet's water tank so the bowl stays just as clean as the last time you scrubbed it. These cartridges last up to three months! The bleach cleansers will make your porcelain throne sparkle and shine with each and every flush.
Promising review: "I have one of those water saver toilets. It was almost impossible to keep clean. While this cleaning system doesn't completely eliminate the problem, it helps a lot. Instead of needing to clean the bowl daily, I can clean it once a week. I liked it so much, I purchased one for my sister. One of the best features of this system is that it puts the cleaner directly into the water stream instead of into the tank. You don't have to worry about it attacking the metal parts of the tank. It was easy to install. It is real easy to install and replace the cleaning cartridge." —Mikkel
Get it from Amazon for $11.94.
17. An adjustable blind duster if you need to clean the rogue dust that starts to build up over time in nooks and crannies like blinds (obvi) and car vents.
Promising review: "OK I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in blue and green).
18. An all-natural oven scrub that features gritty pumice stone for an intense, much-needed scrub-a-dub-dub for that cloudy oven door window.
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in cleaning products.
Promising review: "Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface) and the rings came right off! These are those 'oh, crap, the pot boiled over' rings that I ignored that lead to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great." —Jessie Bono
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99+ (available in a glass or plastic jar).
19. A pet hair remover so you can de-hair your sofa, chairs, and carpet from the built-up pet fur that covers anything and everything.
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
20. A pumice cleaning stone that'll effectively remove rust and calcium streaks that have clung to your toilet bowl for far too long. It's nontoxic and won't ruin your porcelain throne.
Promising review: "I’m doing a happy dance right now! My toilets have had mineral rings in the bowls from well water since we bought our house five years ago. During those five years, I have purchased NUMEROUS products to try to remove the rings. Every single one failed. I had come to terms with the idea that if I wanted pristine looking crappers, I was going to need to replace them. Three of them. Ugh! I ordered the pumice cleaning stone as a last-ditch attempt. Received it today, and immediately went to town. My extreme enthusiasm for scrubbing johns was actually a bit odd, but I was feeling optimistic. Turns out I had reason to. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!! SO amazing, it actually inspired me to take a picture of my TOILET!!!! My hoppers are saved!!!!! Seriously, the rings are COMPLETELY GONE. If I could give 10 stars, I would." —Sassyscribbler
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
21. A set of mineral-based dishwasher detergent pods so your glassware can emerge from their wash cycle looking fresh and new. These won't leave a gross film on your plates like some other detergents do PLUS they smell so citrus-y good.
Dropps is a small business based in Philly whose mission is to sustainably create eco-friendly and powerful cleaning products.
Promising review: "If everyone were to buy their dishwasher soap this way our earth would be a much healthier and happier place. This product out-cleans any other product on the market plus all is environmentally friendly! I love that the packaging is recyclable and earth friendly soap! Outstanding!" —Stray Cat Rescue Associates MN
Get 32 pods from Amazon for $13.75 (available in two scents).
22. A 2-in-1 keyboard and screen cleaner if you're tired of looking at your laptop screen through cloudy fingerprints.
Promising review: "This is the second one that I have purchased because I LOVE IT! I love fact that it is small and compact enough to either sit on my desk at home or fit in my desk at work. I also enjoy the fact it is dual-sided — one side to wipe the screen and the other to brush away dust, dirt, food crumbs from my keyboard. It is a great buy and worth it. Not to mention it is made by a company with quality products, Oxo." —Kiki.L.G
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
23. A compact carpet cleaner so your upholstery and carpets can finally be given new life. When you spend so many waking hours on the couch or walking on your carpet, there's bound to be a whole slew of messes that have just been baked into the fabric. This will suck all of that right out.
Promising review: "I'm very impressed by the Little Green's performance both on small jobs and slightly bigger tasks. It's taken the milk and snack stains out of my carpets in seconds, removed a pet accident completely with no odor or stain remaining, and removed stains from my car's seats and carpets that I couldn't get out no matter when I tried! I've also got all of the dirt/stains out of my microfiber couch and recliner with just a bit of elbow grease. Not bad for stubborn stains more than 4 years old! The machine is ready to go in under a minute. Seriously, all you need to do is unscrew the formula tank's cap, pour formula to the fill line, add warm water to the second fill line, replace the cap, and pop the tank back in. That's it. You're ready to go." —Sms103
Get it from Amazon for $108.59.
24. A blessedly effective carpet cleaner that'll have you saying, "What sorcery is this?!" You'll never have to call Stanley Steemer again.
Sunny & Honey is a small business who prioritizes the health and safety of kids and pets when creating cleaning products.
Promising review: "This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderful clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." —Vicky Faurot
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
25. A cleaning spray to assist you in finally cleaning out your car, but particularly those baked-in stains that have been marinating in your back seat for months.
Car Guys' Super Cleaner can be used on upholstery, canvas, leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber.
Promising review: "I have used every product that you can find on the shelves of your local store. When I sprayed the cleaner on the light beige interior of a 25-plus-year-old car, the interior turned to its original color. After years of detailing, I had assumed at this point, the color was set and that's it — not with this stuff. While cleaning it I literally said out loud, 'No way, no way,' because I was in disbelief at how amazing it worked, and the results are in the compliments I receive from friends." —Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
26. A jetted-tub cleaner so the next time you marinate in a bubble bath you can ensure that the water will be crystal clear.
Promising review: "My wife told me we had to really clean what appeared to be a clean tub. We moved into a house where the previous home owners were not the best cleaners. She had me get this product based on reviews. My one complaint is the label needs to be bigger. OH YUK is not enough. OH YUK YOU MIGHT BARF might be better. I think someone had a bowel movement in my bath tub plumbing and this is the only product that takes it out. It appears we have seven years of crud in the pipes. The feces colored film that this products gets out of your pipes will make you a believer. The first use it released so much toot film that we felt like we needed to have another round of cleaning. After losing a bet I had to stick my hand in the water to drain it. Wiping off all the released film we filled the tub again. Just turning the jets the water seemed to be clear. However before I was going to ever get into this thing I wanted to do a second round of YUK treatment. Once again in full force it appeared that someone had the squirts in tub as sludge came flowing out of the pipes. We're going to have to run this a few times before we use the tub. Remember those pink tablets that you use to get in grade school to show you all the plaque that was on your teeth..... The product is like that for you tub." —Paul Southwick
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "Oh my goodness!! I swear this stuff is magic. My in-laws' pup pooped on our carpet and we used the things in this kit...holy cow! Odor, stains, everything!! Gone!!! All of us were amazed!! It left the carpet cleaner than it was before and the room actually smelled good. I can't imagine trying anything else ever again!! I'll be a Skout's Honor user for life!!!" —Elizabeth H.
