1. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers for whenever your child decides to use your white walls for their next Crayola masterpiece. This thing has every right to have the word "magic" in its name — there's no other explanation for how well it removes stains.
2. Or a pack of generic melamine sponges that work just as well as the name brand sponges but are a lot cheaper. Think of the money you'll save over the years.
3. A OxiClean laundry whitener + stain remover to accomplish something similar for the white clothes your child spent all day spilling Jell-O and juice on.
4. A leather conditioner that'll transform your worn-out leather couch back to how it looked before you had children. It's a way better looking kid-proof solution than plastic slip covers.
5. Or this eco-friendly pill remover stone to help you maintain a fabric couch that's often abused by rambunctious rugrats.
6. A carpet spot remover that doesn't require any rinsing or vacuuming. Just spray it directly on the stain and it'll disappear before playtime even ends.
7. A microfiber cleaning cloth if your phone or tablet is basically raising your toddler (no judgement), and you'd rather not have a cluster of tiny smudges clouding your screen once they're finished with it.
8. A bottle of Poo-Pourri toilet spray toilet spray to keep on deck for whenever potty training gets a bit pungent.
9. A stainless-steel bar so your hands won't ever have to smell like the obscene amount of dirty dishes your hungry teenager somehow manages to create each day.
10. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser you can use to tackle messes of all kinds (and all ages) in the kitchen or bathroom.
11. Or this equally as versatile organic Castile soap that can be used to clean anything from car windows to dirty laundry. The plant-based formula is so safe you can also use it on your kids' toys.
12. Orrrr this all-purpose cleaner that literally smells like cotton candy, in case you're looking for something with a particularly kid-friendly scent.
13. An electric spinning scrubber with a series of snap-on heads that'll allow you to scrub counters, car wheels, sinks, windows, and more. Kids love gadgets, right? Maybe you can use this to ease them into doing the chores you've been secretly avoiding for years (we won't tell them if you won't).
14. A 12-piece toy cleaning set if you're serious about creating Type A toddlers who genuinely love chores. The set includes everything your little helper needs to "clean" and develop a healthy relationship with household responsibilities — and the toys actually do a pretty good job of cleaning!
15. Or this baby mop onesie if there's no shame to your game and you're willing to turn your newborn into the world's cutest Swiffer.
16. Heavy-duty cleaning wipes you can use to wipe down the microwave after your junior chef's next Spaghetti-O experiment.
17. A super helpful dishwasher magnet for them to turn whenever they load the machine. What better way to raise responsible young adults than to teach them early to avoid putting dirty dishes in a clean load?
18. An adhesive remover to remove sticky residue from almost any surface. Also...WHY DO CHILDREN MAKE EVERYTHING SO DAMN STICKY???
19. And a scratch-free scraper tool for residue that requires a little extra elbow grease.
20. A mini bottle of touch-up paint that'll cover any nicks and scratches caused by unexpected roughhousing. Your walls and furniture will thank you.
21. A stainless steel cleaner to EVISCERATE existing grease stains, watermarks and fingerprints, *and* help prevent new ones from appearing.
22. Dye-trapping sheets if you're raising teenagers who often forget to separate the laundry (by forget, I of course mean actively choose to not do it).
23. And a clothes folder so they can learn this valuable life skill even if they never land an after-school retail job at the mall.
24. A pack of reusable cloth towels in case your teen has a habit of going through an entire roll of paper towels in a single weekend.
