1. A Glisten garbage disposer cleaner so your food scrap dumping station can continue to function properly free of any stinky smells or gross food that may be stuck in it.
You just pop the packet down the drain! Can't get any easier.
Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under 2 minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

2. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner to tackle the gunk and stains that have been overstaying their welcome in your tub or shower. Spray it on, let it sit for a few hours (some reviewers left it on for 24 hours), and then rinse or wipe it clean!
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $18.61.
3. Bissell Stomp 'N Go Pads for tackling tough, hard-to-remove surface stains like wine, pet pee, mud, blood, and juice. Simply place the pad on the affected area, stomp on the pad, and then leave it be for 30 minutes. Once you peel it off the floor, your stain should have magically lifted — hallelujah!
Promising review: "OMG I am SO HAPPY that they are making these again. They are the absolute best. Nothing comes close! I even called and wrote to Bissell twice when they discontinued this item asking them to bring it back. Then I bought all I could from Amazon and on eBay. Now they are back! I have an older dog who sometimes has accidents and NOTHING works as well and as easily as these. Some people say they are small but I say they are perfect! In fact, because they are relatively expensive, I cut these into small pieces and use just what I need. If you rub the pad into the carpet it will completely remove the stain. Stomp on it and leave it there. The stain will be gone. I seal the bag with a bulldog clip to keep the remaining pads moist." —kscoco

4. A TubShroom that'll assist in keeping your drain clog free by trapping all rogue hair 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 $12.95 (available in five colors and in a multipack).

5. And a much-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. 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 $6.22 (available in two lengths).
6. A faucet splash catcher that is perfect for keeping the area around your sink dry. I wish I could say mine was always in pristine condition (can you say lazy?), but that would be a lie so I'm kinda thinking it's time to invest in one of these.
Hustle & Sew is a Saint Helens, Oregon-based Etsy shop specializing in quality handmade goods with personalized options.
Promising review: "If I could give more than five stars, I would because this faucet splash catcher is AMAZING! It fits perfectly on my kitchen faucet; no more drips and puddles! I bought gray and black and they're just perfect!" —Alice
Get it from Hustle & Sew on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in six colors and four sizes).
7. 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 and dropping stuff on the way there).
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).
8. A can of Bar Keepers cookware polish for keeping 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 $6.73.
9. An Angry Mama steamer to do your microwave cleaning sesh for you. Fill her up with vinegar, water, and lemon juice, and then pop her in the microwave to get to work. Go put your feet up while Mama cleans your microwave for you. (Ah, the life).
Promising review: "LOVE this purchase!! I wish I had taken a before picture. My disgusting roommates destroyed our microwave; it was filthy. They would’ve never cleaned it since they’re slobs but this purchase saved me SO much time. All the food came off very easily and it looked brand new after! Amazing, wish I could give it 10 stars." —Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four styles).
10. 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 family-run small business that 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.
11. A pack of stainless steel cleaning wipes for keeping all of your appliances like your refrigerator, dishwasher, and sink free of water marks, 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 $11.92.
12. A leather cleaner and conditioner since your car interior could use a full-on resurrection after all those drive-thru fountain sodas you've spilled on them. This'll work on any leather furniture pieces you have inside your home too!
It works with any leather color! And it's also safe to use on your leather jacket, shoes, and furniture.
Promising review: "I wear jeans all the time and the dye transfers onto the beige leather seats of my 2016 Camry (see before photo). I applied twice in immediate succession. Application one: seven sprays with immediate paper towel wiping. Application two: five sprays, waited 60 seconds, then paper towel wiping. ‘After’ picture shown here was taken after the first application. No discernible difference between application one and application two. One application does the trick!" —DDM11
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
13. An ink and stain remover that can even tackle permanent marker stains you may or may not have gotten on that new pair of jeans...
Promising review: "Amodex took ink out of my expensive scrubs. A pen leaked in my pocket and made a thick glob of ink stain on the scrub jacket and a little on the pants. After using the Amodex and washing in cold water, there is no evidence of a stain and the fabric looks exactly how it looked before the stain. There was no damage or discoloration of the fabric. Thank you, Amodex. This product just saved me the $75 that it would have cost to replace the scrubs." —Michelle hammer
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
14. A mop cleaning system so you no longer have to cry over spilled milk (seriously). This mop and bucket combo allows you to mop, rinse, and ring out excess water all in a few seconds. No more dragging a sopping wet mop across the floor. And it works with just plain old water! No harsh cleaners needed.
Promising review: "I love, love, love this mop. I just cleaned all six rooms/floors in my place. In the past I would have used like 10 Swiffer cloth pads for the same job. With this mop I never had to touch the microfiber mop head when it got dirty. I just spin the dirty water out and let me tell you it still looked clean when I was all finished cleaning my floors. I always love products they are simple, sustainable, and cost effective." —Aspiring Veganista
Get it from Amazon for $32.97.
15. A wine stain remover you should always keep handy when those eek-worthy spills occur. Got some vino on your fave luxe throw blanket? Stain be gone!
Wine Away is a women-owned business based in the USA.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago, and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent and takes care of any stain (not just wine) so fast and so efficiently, it's become a party trick. LOL. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie N
Get it from Amazon for $10.
16. A bag cleaning sticky ball if you treat your totes like a garbage can and throw anything and everything inside of it. You need this — especially if you toss bags of snacks in your purse that may or may not cause a total crumb mess at the bottom.
Simply toss it in your handbag and let it collect all the gunk and crumbs at the bottom. Once it's full of debris, easily squeeze the outer ball to remove the sticky ball inside, and just wash it under water for it to be as good as new again.
Promising review: "This has to be one of the most amazing things I've ever bought! I can't believe how easily it grabs all that little debris that finds its way to the bottom of your bag. I haven't yet had to clean it, but I'm certain it will retain it's stickiness or else it wouldn't have so many positive reviews!" —QueenofGnomes
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in two colors).
17. An all-natural oven scrub to deep clean your oven and remove that baked-on grease that's been clouding the window for far too long. It features gritty pumice stone for an intense, much-needed reset.
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).
18. 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 $11.99.
19. An over-the-seat car trash bag in case you tend to stuff all those used napkins and empty chip bags in your door compartments. This will help keep your car spotless and perhaps help you make less of a mess of it.
The Mod Mobile is a woman-owned small business based in Winsted, Connecticut and also has matching steering wheel covers so both your trash bag and wheel can twin!
Promising review: "This fabulous litter bag has revolutionized my driving experience. I'm no longer drowning in a sea of toddler debris! Beautifully constructed and the perfect size. Thanks :)" —Jordana Wilson
Get the sunflower one from The Mod Mobile on Etsy for $20.
20. A three-pack of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste that'll clean practically anything. Scuffs on the walls? Dirty stove? Stains on your bathtub? The Pink Stuff will fix all that.
Promising review: "OK I’m officially obsessed with this stuff. I cleaned my apartment top to bottom upon move out and really just used this and a Magic Eraser to clean off stains and grime and man was it effective! I cleaned the entire oven/stove (like the whole thing, underneath, behind, etc.) and it was so much more pleasant than soaking in bleach or Clorox cleaners and endless scrubbing with minimal effort." —Alexandra Silva
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $16.99.
21. A pumice cleaning stone to 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 $10.99.
22. A box of coffee machine–cleaning powder because the machine you probably rely on the most (hello, caffeine) could use a refresh 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 three packets from Amazon for $17.09.
23. 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.
24. 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.
25. 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 a pack of two from Amazon for $20.75.
26. 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 getting rid of 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).
27. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray perfect for saving ovens from baked-on grease that's lived rent-free way past its lease.
28. A well-loved robotic vacuum for helping 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 $159.99+ (available in two colors).
Think of how much easier it'll be to prevent messes with these products in your back pocket.
