1. A tub of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, capable of cleaning and removing stubborn stains and dirt from surfaces such as sinks, cookware, tiles, and more WITHOUT the need for elbow grease. Using The Pink Stuff can restore the shine and cleanliness of your home making it look newer and fresher.
My former colleague Brittany Ross says, "After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC (check out my TikTok for proof!). And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN. Check out yours truly using it three ways on TikTok!"

2. The Wet & Forget weekly shower spray that does all the hard work for you while you binge-watch Netflix shows. This bleach-free cleaner removes soap scum and hard water deposits, leaving your shower sparkling clean when all you did was apply, walk away, and rinse off the next day.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and a pack of two).
3. A pack of melamine sponges, which are a real superhero when it comes to cleaning. No more worrying about the crayon marks on the wall or the muddy paw prints on the floor. This sponge will tackle all of that and then some.
Reviewers say they work just as well as the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!
Promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

4. A fume-free oven cleaner you can let sit overnight to wipe away years of spills and burnt bits. As an added bonus, you can clean out your disaster zone of an oven without being left with a headache from the fumes.
Promising review: "I’ve tried scrubbing my oven with a baking soda paste but it barely did anything to clean my oven. I had years of baked on grease from baking lasagnas and roasting chickens in my oven that looked like they were seriously here to stay. That is, until I tried this amazing product. I sprayed my oven and left it overnight. The next morning — all of the grease stains just simply wiped off with a paper towel! It was that EASY. I’m pretty sensitive to fumes too and this did not bother me at all. Definitely a new staple in my kitchen." —CupCake
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
5. Or a 100% natural oven scrub made to easily cut through your kid's latest cooking experiment. This scrub is pumice-based and is formulated with zero harmful chemicals, which means it smells great.

Promising reviews: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe
"This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!" —Traci Hutchinson
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
6. A jewelry-cleaning stick — this little gem will have your favorite pair of emerald earrings or your diamond engagement ring shining like the day you got it. This brush contains a cleaning gel and fine bristles to reduce the appearance of scratches and remove dirt and oil. It's also small and compact, so you can keep it in the dresser or in your purse if you're on the go.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather
Get it from Amazon for $9.38 (also available in packs of two or three, and with jewelry wipes).
7. A ChomChom hair roller that works so well to remove pet hair, it will make you say, "Oh yeah, my couch was that color!" Unlike a normal lint roller, the ChomChom does not contain sticky adhesive, which means it can be used over and over again.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my life!! We have one long-haired cat and three dogs — suffice it to say, shedding hair is a big problem on every cloth-like surface in our home. No more vacuuming the couches and chairs like wild when you have this around. This picks up hair quickly and easily when used correctly (fast back-and-forth motion). I will never not have this in our house!" —Shelby Cipolla
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four styles).
8. A TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green cleaner, which can handle all the messes life throws at you. From the spilled coffee stain on your car seat to the mark your potty-training pup left on your new rug, this is the perfect tool to have on hand. It's portable and has a large tank which = more cleans in between refills.
It comes with a tough stain tool, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.
Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina
Get it from Amazon for $109.59.
9. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets, because you wouldn't shower in a dirty bathroom, so why would you eat off of plates that were cleaned in a dirty dishwasher? Just pop these in and run a cycle like normal, then sit back while it scrubs away all the gunk and grime.
Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!
Promising reviews: "This was simple to use, smelled good, and I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the dishwasher after the recommended cleaning cycle. This product actually did what it advertises that it will do! Great results, fairly economical — and by the way — it works!" —Old Southern Charm
"Just get them. Changed the way my 20-year-old dishwasher works. Much cleaner dishes and the interior is like new. First time you use it, run it empty with just the cleaner. I didn't realize how much mold and ickiness it got out of my machine." —drpicard
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
10. An odor eliminator spray that works and actually smells good with natural orange peel oil. This is perfect to get rid of any pee smells from pet accidents, especially if you have a kitty who hasn't quite figured out the litter box yet.
Promising review: "My cat went through a phase of peeing in the corner on my carpet. I used this product to eliminate the odor. The orange smell is a bit strong but it definitely masks the smell. It also worked as a repellant by keeping my cat away from that area. Problem solved!" —PsykotikEpizodez
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
11. A rust stain-removing gel for when you're getting ready for work and step into the shower just to be greeted with a...erm...not-so-pleasant sight. Apply this gel, let sit for a few minutes, and finally scrub away that brown stain that's been staring at you for weeks.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —T-urtle
Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in two sizes).
12. A bottle of Better Life Natural Tub and Tile Cleaner that'll make the dirt ring you've been ignoring disappear before your own eyes. Now you don't have to ~act~ like it's not there because it's really not now.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I’ve never been able to get out and was thinking something 'natural' wouldn’t be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." —Katherine Cheng
Get it from Amazon for $7.49.
13. A multisurface pet stain spot remover for the time Peanut had an accident but you were too pooped to clean it up. For deep-rooted odors, apply this spray to the stain and let it sit for one hour, then vacuum to reveal your spotless, fresh-smelling carpet — like it never even happened.
For surface stains, you can simply spray and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then blot with a cloth and let it air dry.

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes and with Subscribe & Save).
14. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets, because the same machine that you use to clean your undies and the pee-drenched doggy bed could use some TLC. Trust me, you won't regret it.
The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle, then wipe away the residue — easy breezy!
Promising reviews: "I didn’t think I would ever be so excited about such a thing as washing machine cleaning tablets. I also never realized how dirty my washing machine was. It now sparkles, doesn’t smell musty, and it removed so much gunk from around the drum/gasket. You should get these." —AVDW
"I did notice my clothes smelling, let's say, not so fresh. Kinda funky. After reading the reviews, I purchased a box (which according to the box, lasts six months). OK, I'll try it. I've got a new washer with a button that says 'Clean Washer.' How easy can it get? The first load of clothes after using this product, I was an immediate fan. Wow! What a difference! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Love the side panel to check off the month you used it. Thank you!" —Two Fishes
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.95 (also available in packs of five).
15. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner for when you've had enough of your instant noodles having a faint tang from the burnt-on spaghetti sauce. All you have to do is fill her up with water and vinegar, pop her in the microwave, and within minutes the steam will soften up all the stuck-on food and you can wipe it away with ease.
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors).
16. Easy-to-use denture cleaning tablets if "funky" isn't a strong enough word to describe what your night guard tastes and/or smells like. These aren't just for grandma's dentures anymore — pop one of these in a glass of water and give your retainers, Invisalign, etc. a quick soak and they'll be as good as new.
Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.
Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $20.21 (also available in a pack of 240).

The Hate Stains Co. is a small biz that was founded by a parent who set out to create a stain remover that was nontoxic but effective.
Promising review: "I've tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I've tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded. I can't believe I didn't have this sooner, I'm about to buy a gallon!" —Mark, the solid 7 out of 10
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in packs of two or three).
18. Plus, a bottle of seemingly magic Wine Away red wine stain remover you should have on hand for when you're out getting drinks and laugh a little too hard at a friend's joke, spilling a few drops of sweet red on your white dress.
Wine Away is a woman-owned brand based in the US!
For best results, absorb the excess liquid, then saturate the spot with the stain remover. Let it sit for one to five minutes, then blot it out. This product can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint and grease.
Promising review: "When you have anything white in your house and you have a love for red wine THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST! We had a dinner party of about 15 people in our house so I bought five bottles just in case. Someone spilled red wine on our brand-new white couch. I was so mad, but I used this stuff and it was GONE. It didn't just take most of the red wine out — the red wine was GONE! No trace of it at all! I will buy more!" —Alial
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
19. A pack of earbud-cleaning putty, because all the earwax and sweat is actually what's making Taylor sound like she's singing underwater. Just gently press on your earbud and bask in the glory (or horror) of all the gunk and grime that's being peeled away.
Promising review: "After seeing this on BuzzFeed and looking at the reviews along the way, I literally bought this because of another review that said it fixed her muffled iPhone 11. So glad I did!! I had the exact same issue with hearing people on my iPhone 11 and was SO frustrated. But this worked instantly. Stuffed a square of the putty into the very small receiver you hear out of and for the first time in months I can hear people clearly and loudly out of my iPhone without being on speakerphone. I am so happy I don't have to get a new phone. I used them to clean my AirPods as well; it was good to see all the gunk come out despite not having an issue with sound for them. Definitely a great purchase." —jtd
Get a 24-pack from Amazon for $12.99.
20. A jaw-drop-worthy bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner that won't make you crawl back under the covers at the thought of cleaning all the soot and grime on your fireplaces. With this nonabrasive cleaner, all you have to do is apply, rinse with water, and wipe it off.
It even comes with a handy scrub brush!
Promising review: "Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It’s a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." —MM
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
21. A set of fast-acting cleaning K-Cups because you probably didn't even think your machine needed cleaning until now. Just pop the pod in and brew like you're making your normal cup of coffee and watch all the gunk come out that you didn't know was in there.
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 a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a 12-pack).
22. And for your insulated tumblers, a box of bottle cleaning tablets specifically designed to get rid of those pesky matcha latte stains inside your precious Stanley cup. Just fill the bottle with warm water, drop in the tablet, and let it stand for 15–30 minutes. The results: A sparkly clean cup with no scrubbing required.
Check out BuzzFeed Shopping's Bottle Bright deep dive for more info!
Promising review: "Despite being diligent and rinsing my bottles out, they do tend to accumulate funky color, slight odor, etc. and generally just get gunkier over time. I heated up a pot of water, filled a few bottles, dropped one of these into each, and 15 minutes later most were sparkling clean, good as new. A few of the worst needed to be left a few hours/overnight, but in every case these pills worked magic. I also tried one just for kicks on my stainless steel lined coffee pot, over five years of daily use with filtered water, monthly descaling process, etc. but still showing browning inside, and one pill cleared all the stains away." —C Stevens
Get a pack of 36 tablets from Amazon for $24.
23. A drill brush kit, which attaches to your drill to do all the hard scrubbing for you, saving your elbow grease for something else — like popping open a bottle of wine after a long day's work of cleaning.
Need a drill? Here's one.
Note: Each color of the Drill Brush attachment corresponds to the type of bristles they have, and each one is best suited for a specific type of cleaning job (for example, the yellow brush has medium bristles, best used for bathroom cleaning — bathtubs, showers, tile, and porcelain). Be sure to check the listing for which color is best for your intended purpose before buying!
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.
Promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before (even with using tough elbow grease and a standard bristle brush). No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot. Used the large flat circular brush for the door and walls, and the round toilet bowl type brush worked great in the corners and on fixtures." —Molly
Get a set of three brush heads from Amazon for $18.95+ (available with soft, medium, stiff, and ultra-stiff bristles in six colors).
24. Or a Rubbermaid power scrubber that's an absolute game changer for scrubbing away the grout between your kitchen floor tiles with ease. You don't have to go full Cinderella mode on your hands and knees with a toothbrush.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown is obsessed with this tool: "This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute. Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."

25. A bottle of Goo Gone kitchen degreaser so you can watch in amazement as the caked-on chicken grease practically melts away before your eyes. It's safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!
Promising reviews: "I moved into a new apartment in September, and the kitchen was full of grease stains on the floor, floorboards, walls, and cabinets. They must have been there for a long time, since I was never able to get them up. I tried every type of cleaning solution, brush, sponge, wipe, you name it. The second I used this product on the stains they came up immediately. I didn't even have to put any elbow grease into it, I literally just wiped over it a few times and it was gone. I would leave more than 5 stars if I could." —alysonnnnn__
"Works well at getting out turmeric stains from my Formica countertops and kitchen sink. I have used other degreasers, but this is the best one so far. Also, it doesn't generate fumes that make me cough." —s patel
Get it from Amazon for $11.30+ (available in two sizes).
26. A bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit complete with a wand, six disposable clean heads, and a caddy for storage.

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
27. Or a gentle yet effective pumice cleaning stone that's tough enough to scrub away those stubborn stains, but gentle enough that it won't scratch your porcelain throne. Now you won't have to gasp in horror every time you lift open the toilet lid.
It's also chemical-free, meaning no headache-inducing odors!
Promising review: "I just received these sticks today and used them on a toilet that had some serious brown stains all around it! After trying other ways to get the stains off, to no avail, after reading reviews I figured I would give these a try! I have to say these sticks are pure magic!!! After some serious scrubbing, I managed to get all the brown gunk off, except for a few spots but because I used the sticks to nubs!!! I just ordered another two-pack as now I will not live without!!! Pure magic in a stick!!" —Amazon Customer

28. A concentrated leather cleaner so you can gently (and effectively) clean and refresh your favorite pair of boots, the couch in your den, and even your car seats.
Leather Honey is a small family-owned based in the USA specializing in making leather care products.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I knew my couches were dirty but I didn't realize they were this bad off. Prior to switching to Leather Honey, I was using leather wipes from another company. Those wipes didn't do much for dirt removal as I am now seeing. The leather is a yellow-cream color but the sofas were looking gray. Leather Honey took the dirt right off. I left the solution to soak in for two minutes in the more problematic areas and then wiped it off clean." —Ruby Vazquez
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes).
29. A nontoxic carpet deodorizing solution, because you've unfortunately gotten used to the smell of your pup's (and toddler's) potty training fails, but your guests get whiffs of them in their full glory. Just add this to your carpet cleaning machine and be confident in knowing everyone will think of you as the person with the fabulously smelling house.
This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free.
Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.
Get it from Amazon for $19.50+ (available in two sizes and scents)
30. Or a pack of stain-removing pads to make accidents seem like they never happened. All you have to do is place the pad on the stain, stomp on it a few times (feel free to get out your frustration on it!), and let sit for 30 minutes. After that, just remove and voila! The stain *and* odor are gone!🙌🏽
They're also great for things like wine, mud, coffee, blood, and juice.
Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2-years- old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." —Matt

31. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo, because nothing feels better than applying foundation with a freshly cleaned brush. Using shampoo to keep your brushes clean and free of dirt and residue ensures that they'll be in tip-top shape for all the beats to come.
Promising review: "Best, most affordable brush and sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything; even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." —Lily
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available as a pack of two).
32. A bottle of silver polish that'll revive even the most tarnished silver set that's been passed down from generations. Great-great granny Pearl would definitely smile with approval if she saw how shiny and new your silver looks now.
Promising review: "I purchased this polish so I could clean the antique silver that my grandmother needed polished. Well, color me impressed! I was expecting it to look a little cleaner, but this polish went far beyond that. It removed all the tarnish and dirt that had built up over the last decade. Everything shines beautifully! I was so impressed that I tried it on my jewelry and stainless steel refrigerator. It cleaned and shined quickly." —Amanda Dempsey
Get it from Amazon for $8.88 (also available as a pack of six).

Promising review: "I really didn’t think that there was much hope for my stovetop to look good again. It had years of burnt-on grime that no other cleaner could touch. I read the reviews for this product and decided to give it a try. Well, I am blown away! It does everything it says in a matter of minutes, and with minimal effort! My stove top is gleaming, just like in the product picture. Note what others have said, unscrew and turn the blade around if you use the scraper. It did not scratch the surface at all. I couldn’t be happier!" —Wisegirl
Get it from Amazon for $18.98.
34. A highly effective mold and mildew remover that reviewers say actually works after they've tried everything. This gel is designed to stick to those stubborn stains, allowing it to work its magic while you catch up on some Z's. By the time you wake up in the morning, those pesky stains will be gone! It's like having a personal cleaning fairy.🧚♀️
Promising review: "Best grout stain cleaner ever! I was to the point of having my shower retiled when I discovered this product. I got a grout brush and cleaned my shower the best I could like always, and there were still mildew and mold stains on the grout and the seals. After I rinsed and dried my shower, I used this product, Skylarlife Home Grout Stain and Sealant Stain Whitener. It was like a miracle! After about five hours, I rinsed my shower. It looks AMAZING! Almost like new! My home is over 50 years old and this shower looks clean and in great shape! Thank you so much for this product. I will always keep a bottle on hand for touch-ups.

35. A multipurpose Wet and Forget outdoor cleaner, because dealing with gross moss, mold, and mildew on your vinyl siding is just not giving. This cleaner allows you tackle the mess without having to even touch the pressure washer.
Promising review: "I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." —PM in NH

36. Or an electric pressure washer to easily blast through years of buildup, leave your fence the color it's supposed to be.
It's great for washing down cars, houses, boats, patios, and outdoor furniture, and it comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, and a clean-out tool.
Promising review: "I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." —Tim S.

37. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner here to break down and remove all the yuck from inside your jetted bathtub, leaving it looking and smelling fresh as a daisy in only 15 minutes.
Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and had never used our jetted tub. One day last week I decided I needed a nice, long soak, filled up the tub, only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up online what the best way to clean a jetted bathtub was and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why — this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. We were so impressed, I purchased another bottle for my sister in law who is moving into her new house next week as a housewarming gift. You will not be disappointed, and I'd be shocked if the first words out of your mouth when you use this stuff weren't 'OH YUK!'" —Kimmy D

Promising review: "Bought our refrigerator seven years ago when we moved into our house and within a year rust spots showed up (cheap and didn't clean the stainless steel properly). Have tried numerous products over the years with no avail. Received Bar Keepers Friend today and after dinner decided to give it a whirl. This product was easy to use and all the rust stains are gone. My wife came in and said, 'Where are the orange spots, I never thought those would go away.' Highly recommend and will continue to clean our appliances with this product." —Andrew Riebesehl

Promising review: "So I bought this originally for my son, who has really bad allergies to dust. At first, we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bed sheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try and they were right! I couldn't believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa; it was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while. This product works for my family!" —Lisa

We tried this product and it worked immediately, restoring everything to like-new. It was fast and really worked! We even used it to clean our glass stovetop. It was amazing how clean it got things. I have a bad back and have to be careful about scrubbing things and it takes no effort to use. We use it in our new house and love it!" —Bradley
