Promising review: "I had some dining chairs with cream upholstery that needed some cleaning. I have three small boys that make lots of messes and I do not see myself replacing my dining chairs anytime soon until the kids are much older so I was looking for something to do the trick and clean up these embarrassingly looking chairs. I ordered this and this stuff wiped off 12 plus years of grime, food spills, red soda stains, etc! it removed it all and my cream chairs look brand new as if I just purchased them. What a difference I never thought 12 years of built on junk could be removed! Not only did it remove it, but it removed it fairly easy with very little elbow grease. They look as if I had been scrubbing all day long to get them clean! THIS STUFF." —Milky

4. An automatic toilet bowl cleaning system which contains bleach but won't ruin your porcelain throne — drop this in the tank and refill it every three months. Every time you flush, the cleaner will dispense, which will keep it sanitized and ~sparkly~.
Promising review: “Excellent product. I highly recommend, especially to those with old toilets that don't have antimicrobial ceramic technology involved. I work as a handyman and do a lot of plumbing work, and I had never seen this type of product used before. I didn't even know it existed. Why hardware stores don't sell these, I'll never understand!” —Matthew Sileo
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
5. A stainless steel cleaner and polish that even comes with a microfiber cloth you'll use again and again (and again). This solution is so good, you'll actually be able to see your reflection... and more importantly, it gets rid of scuffs, dirt, and fingerprints.
Promising review: "I took it out of the box, directed a few sprays at my fridge, and used the microfiber cloth to wipe with the grain of the stainless steel. My fridge was SHINING! GLOWING! I couldn't believe how good it looked and I took solace in the fact that the bottle size was big, because then I could get some serious use out of this cleaner. The only problem is, I've only had to spray it down once! This cleaner works so well that it somehow repels my fingerprints and I'm not spraying down my doors every time I touch them." —Jsssica Groves
Get it from Amazon for $16.95 (available in two sizes and in a pack of six).
6. Cleaning putty gel which actually makes the act of cleaning super satisfying and fun. Plus, this reusable blob can fit into all the dusty nooks and crannies of your car, computer, and any part of your home.
Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I recently got a new car and was looking for something to easily pick up dust. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It’s also great for the touch screen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren
Get it from Amazon for $6.88.

7. An expandable tile scrubber so you don't have to break your back just to deep clean your tub. The arrow-shaped stick allows you to get into every crevice, which makes it super easy to clean those hard-to-reach spots.
Promising review: "I really like this! I am 71, with arthritis, and cleaning tubs and showers was difficult. The extendable handle is very sturdy. The scrubbing pad is tough, but did not scratch the vinyl tub or shower. We have iron in our water and if the water softener runs low on salt, the orange color in the water accumulates. I used 401 spray cleaner and the OXO scrubber and the orange stain is gone from the white tub! Perfect!" —Carol Miller
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

Promising review: "I don’t even know where to start! I use this on my floors, my granite countertops, glass stove top, I put a little in my laundry, on my dining room table, I even use a little to wet dust with. I literally clean even when I don’t have to just so I can smell its fragrance. I love that the scent on my laundry lasts. I used the Frankincense & Myrrh cleaner on my bedsheets and duvet cover and the scent lasted quite some time. My home smells so fresh and airy. I will be ordering again soon." —Keyana
Get it from Good Vibes for $11.88 (available in seven scents, including unscented).
9. A two-pack of Goo Gone adhesive spray for when your toddler decides to play interior decorator and you're stuck removing leftover sticker residue. This miracle product will make that impossible task incredibly easy and quick.
Promising review: "I needed to remove the tank emblems from my Harley. Getting the metal part off is easy but it left behind nearly one-fourth of what was once goo but was now a rock-hard layer of crud. I tried a few different solvents with no results. Goo Gone practically melted it away and I was able to remove it with very little effort. It took several applications and scrapings with a good scraper a little at a time but it's gone now and you can't tell it was ever there." —D. Kells

Promising review: "I adore these! I had bought some cheaper paperless towels that did not hold up particularly well to washing and were not very absorbent. I replaced them with these! I absolutely love the variety of patterns and they’re extremely high quality, soft, thick and durable. They'd be great for use in the kitchen for mopping up spills or wiping surfaces. They arrived quickly and in package-free shipping materials. I highly recommend investing in these." —Sarah

13. A dishwasher cleaner which will make the gunk from your dirty dishes that doesn't just magically disappear — it gets stuck in tubes and pipes (kind of like how my little brother cleans his room by stuffing everything in his closet.) Anyway, just add this cleaner to the machine and it will remove water, grease, detergent, and food scraps.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and dishes just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine per the instructions and ran the regular cycle. The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully every month, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" —Sheila

15. A TubShroom Drain Hair Catcher which will save you $$$ on plumbing. This fits into most drains, collects all that fallen hair, plus is as easy to remove and clean as it is to pop in.
Promising review: "I shed so much hair, and it has always been an issue when it comes to showering! I used to try to catch the hairs before it went to the drain in which I would later have to clean once clogged, and now I encourage and move them towards the drain and my TubShroom! It truly is amazing, and the silicone material allows it to not rust like the old metal tub sink screens. It makes cleaning so much easier, and I am amazed every time. It even caught my dog's hair, and he has short, thin hairs!!! Highly, highly recommend this for every home." —S.K.M
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in six colors).
16. A tub cleaner because I bet you had no idea how much dirt and grime gets stuck in those jets. Prepare to feel totally grossed out after seeing all that crud rise to the surface.
It takes just 15 minutes to see results; simply run your water, pour in some cleaner, and start your jets.
Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! I first ran my tub with the solution, then drained it and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
17. A cleaning K-Cup which you can pop into your Keurig just like you're making a normal cup of coffee. Then, all you have to do is brew one large cycle with the cleaner pod, and one or more with just water (depending on how dirty your machine is), and you're done! Now you won't have to wonder what gross bacteria is hiding out in your morning bean juice.
Promising review: "Our coffee can start to taste funky after several uses. We run this through once, then two times with just water. Works great and coffee goes back to tasting like normal! It clears out any build up that can affect the taste of your coffee. It is super easy and just as quick as making a cup of coffee." —Colorado Customer
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.
18. A hard water stain eliminator that will get rid of those nearly impossible-to-remove spots and stains that accumulate on glass shower doors — just apply it to the surface, do a light wipe down, and you're done! You can also use it on windows, tiles, and toilets, so you'll definitely get your money's worth with this product.
Promising review: "I have been trying to clean my glass shower for three years since we moved into our house. There was a buildup of hard water spots that would not come off. I tried all the advertised products claiming to easily clean it. None of them worked. I tried vinegar and steel wool and homemade mixtures. Nothing worked. Then I came across a mention of Bio-Clean somewhere on the Internet. I don't recall where. Bio-Clean is really incredible! It's non-toxic and safe to handle. And importantly it takes off all the old hard water spots. It also cleans other surfaces. I've already tried it to remove water spots on chrome and it works beautifully. I cannot recommend this product more highly." —Anonymous
Get it from Amazon for $17.77.
19. A Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser to make your stained surfaces shine bright like a diamond — it makes removing those tough stains easier than dusting off a fan. You can use this on almost every surface on the inside or outside of your home including BBQ grills, sports equipment, floors, bathroom, and kitchen surfaces.
Promising review: "This stuff is like magic! Straight up wizardry. I love it! I initially bought it to clean my sink. I'd say it took less than a minute after making a paste with Bar Keepers Friend to clean the sink up to a nearly new shine. Taking a look at the can it's easy to find bunches of ways to use this stuff and each application is better than the last. Stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper, brass, fiberglass, corian, chrome, and aluminum. See? Magic! Anyhow, I've used it in the sink, in the bathroom, to clean stainless-steel pots and pans on a 17-year-old Revereware tea kettle (which I thought would never be restored to its former loveliness, BTW). This is a product that I will buy again and again and will happily recommend to anyone." —Nicci Stephenson
Get it from Amazon for $6.48+ (available in packs of one, two, or three).
20. Wet & Forget shower cleaner because are you one of those folks who absolutely hates cleaning but likes things to be spotless? Well, this stuff is perfect because it requires absolutely no scrubbing. Just apply the odorless solution to your tub weekly and rinse it off with water to make your bathroom look like one at the Ritz — no sponge required.
Promising review: "This stuff is excellent. It performs as promised, it has a very nice scent, no fumes, and leaves shower clean with no scrubbing actually necessary. It is very easy to apply and rinse off. It is designed very well, with squirting spout separate from the large container and attached by a longish tube, so you don't have to hold the heavy container while applying the product. I've been using it for quite a while now, and I love it. I highly recommend it." —Stephanie Martin
Get it from Amazon for $19.74 (available with add ons).
21. Heavy duty cleaning wipes that aren't just your run-of-the-mill wipes — they can remove grease, tar, ink, paint, permanent marker, wax, scuffs, lipstick, nail polish, food, drinks, pet stains, and so much more with just a few quick swipes.
Promising review: "This is the best sheet to use to remove grease stains. I was able to clean the microwave easily. I did not need to scrub. Just a few wipes and the dirt was gone. Smells like you’re eating an actual orange... big plus for me. My hands did not get wet after using either." —OneSourOne
Get a tub of 90 wipes from Amazon for $14.94 (available in nine sizes and with add ons).
22. A descaler for single-use coffee dispensers because you were today years old when you realized those machines aren't self-cleaning. There's definitely built-up gunk in there, but before you toss your precious java maker out the window, simply **add** this solution to your cart. You'll be tasting deliciously fresh coffee in no time.
Promising review: "Purchased this descaler because our several-year-old Keurig single-cup coffee brewer no longer brewed a full cup of coffee. Water flow was very slow and coffee cup only half-filled. Following the simple directions on the bottle and using just half a bottle of descaler, the Keurig machine was restored to full performance. It also brewed a hotter cup of coffee! Very good product as far as I am concerned." —Barnett Tessler
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. A rust stain remover spray which will do the hard work for you — no elbow grease required. This spray breaks down grime so you'll only need to give your shower a quick swipe and you're done.
Promising review: "I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands-down. I just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes, and wiped and rinsed." —Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $4.98.
24. OxiClean stain remover that can get tough stains out of fabrics, even if they aren't machine-washable. Simply mix the chlorine-free powder with water on nearly any surface or fabric and start scrubbing.
Promising review: "I had a stained mattress that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give this a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even remember what caused the stains, but it removed them! I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" —Little Greek
Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in four sizes).
25. A silicone caulk whitener which will remove harmful mold and mildew from your bathroom. It clings to wherever you apply it, takes six to eight hours to work, and requires no scrubbing.
Promising review: "I actually visited Amazon to buy silicone gel, masking tape and a tool to fix my bathroom door. Through an Amazon recommendation I found this product. The positive reviews convinced me to get it and I was not disappointed. My bathroom glass area was looking pretty bad and, after one application most of the black mold was gone. So, as recommended in the instructions, I repeated the application and it looks a lot better now." —Eduardo Pagani
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
26. A pack of generic melamine sponges that reviewers say are a dupe for the beloved Mr. Clean Magic Erasers — but for wayyyy less. All you need is water and a light touch to see the dirt and grime go *poof* in seconds.
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
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $11.95.
27. A drill brush kit which will make your tub look like it was just installed. The scrubber attachment moves at turbo speed without leaving any scratches, so it makes cleaning extremely quick.
Promising review: "If I could give it 10 stars, I would. If you have a tile shower that is the bane of your existence like mine...you need these! They clean what no human hands can in half the time. Still hard work to use but way better then the old-fashioned way!" —jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (available in six colors).
