    38 Cleaning Products For Anyone Who *Cannot* Relax Until Their Home Is Spotless

    Because you wanna light that new candle you just bought but not until EVERYTHING is is spick-and-span.

    1. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which can clean anything you throw at it — pots and pans, stove tops, showers, and even that Mountain Dew spill you "forgot about" in the fridge.

    Check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising reviews: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do in this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

    "Of course, I purchased this stuff after seeing it on TikTok. My roommates were a little skeptical about the hype around it, but I bit the bullet and purchased it. Now, they can't get enough of this stuff. Gunk they have been trying to remove for years was wiped away with little to no effort when they used this product! It is a little pricey for a cleaning product, but a little goes a long way! We have used it on everything and still have so much left in the container. I am even thinking of gifting this to people during the holidays!" —Cassie

    2. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner you can spritz on your shower walls and tub after you're done cleaning yourself. Leave it on overnight — no scrubbing necessary — and just wash it off the next time you're in the shower! 

    Promising review: "I really like the fact that this product is true to its description! I highly recommend you do a thorough and very good job of cleaning before you apply this product or it will not make the product as effective as it should be! I highly recommend this because really who wants to clean their shower every day? This also keeps away mold and mildew how cool is that." —Stephanie Parker

    Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in two sizes). 

    3. A twin turbine eufy robotic vacuum that's incredibly intelligent despite its affordable price tag! This bb creates a map of your home and knows exactly where it's cleaning as it goes. You can even create "no-go" zones or tell it to clean a specific room and it'll go straight there.

    I've had this for a few months now and I've been SO impressed. I previously had an earlier gen eufy that did its job, but left some things to be desired (no accompanying app, got stuck on things easily, had to be emptied frequently, etc.) and the X8 is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better. I downloaded the app, connected it to my WiFi, had it create a map of my home, and set up zones since there are some areas — AKA my living room rug — that need attention more frequently. The first time I ran it I watched it pretty closely because my house is full of cords, cables, cat toys, and other things that used to get caught up in my previous vacuum. Incredibly, the X8 managed to work around all these obstacles and/or sort its way out of them without getting stuck. Whenever it encounters an uneven surface — like the edge of a rug or the transition from tile to hardwood — it also manages to correct itself without needing me to intervene which has been amazing 🙏 . I  should also note that have two cats, so there's a LOT of fur floating around my three-bedroom apartment and I found that I'm able to run the vacuum two to three times before it needs to be emptied. I also love that it has voice alerts and tells me when it needs to be recharged, is heading home, or is stuck. All in all, it's an A+ option that's both affordable and efficient!

    Promising review: "I have had two Roomba vacuums. They were very loud and were constantly getting stuck. I would put pillows to block the areas where they would be most likely to get stuck. They usually found another area to get stuck. We were happy when they finally stopped working. I bought this vacuum on Black Friday because it was $100 off. I had low expectations and planned to return it if it got stuck in any of the usual places. I was amazed by this vacuum, it is very quiet and never gets stuck and because of its lower profile, it goes under furniture that blocked the Roomba. It does take three times longer to vacuum a room as it takes with our upright but it does a better job." —Ken

    4. A pouch of foaming garbage disposal cleaner to eliminate the special stank that can only be produced after years of shredding up meat, produce, and whatever that mystery blob was that came out of your long-lost Tupperware.

    The bag which comes with 4.9 ounces of lemon-scented cleaner
    A reviewer's video of them using the cleaner with the caption

    Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.

    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 two 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

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.49.

    5. A jetted tub cleaner so you're not bathing in the remnants of whatever products the previous homeowner used. (The absolute horror.)

    A reviewer holding up the bottle of cleaner in front of their tub which is filled with bubbles
    The reviewer's after photo which shows the cleaner left their tub in great condition

    Oh Yuk is a family-owned and operated company based in Minnesota that's been making home cleaning products since 2011. Each bottle gets you four cleanings. Just dump it in, fill your tub, run the jets, and it'll flush out soap scum, mold, and whatever other gunk your Whirlpool is harboring.

    Promising review: "I used this product for the Jacuzzi bathtub at my new house. It was definitely effective. I didn't take any photos but it looked exactly like what I saw on YouTube and in the reviews. The amount of black gunk that came out of the jets was disgusting. There wasn't any weird residue afterwards and everything is much cleaner now. My only concern was how STRONG the chemical smells. I had the air fan on, doors open and I still felt like I was going to pass out. I had to use one of my N95 masks while wiping the tub down. Overall, it was a great purchase and I feel way more comfortable using the jets now." —Veronica Justice

    Get a 16-ounce bottle from Oh Yuk on Amazon for $16.06.

    6. pack of K-Cup cleaning pods that're basically like a full tune-up for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse
    reviewer image of cleaning K-cup placed inside Keurig

    Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

    Get them from Amazon for $9.45+ (available in packs of 6, 12, or 18).

    7. A set of silicone stove counter gap covers so you won't attract unwanted critters after flinging pasta into the half-inch crevice for the third time this week. We all know nobody is actually cleaning it out (don't try to lie to us), so go ahead and do yourself a favor.

    The covers just slip right into the gap — there's no adhesive involved — so you can easily remove and clean them whenever necessary.

    Promising review: "I've been using these for about a week on my new freestanding range. When they removed my old range, I was really surprised to see how much stuff had slipped through! Now, when I cook, I can see the splatters and seasonings left on the silicone that would have fallen between the stove and the counter. These gap fillers really do clean up easily, too. Although they are that extra thing to clean, I prefer that to knowing there's a mess hiding in the cracks." —JMom

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $10.95+ (available in three sizes and colors).

    8. A carpet spot remover that requires no rinsing or vacuuming to see results. In fact, it works on a whole lot more than carpet, too, give it a go on stained clothing, upholstery, and other colorfast fabrics.

    Promising review: "I had terrible rust and oil stains all over the seats of my car. I tried other cleaners to get them out, but they actually made the stains darker. I took it to the dealership to see if they could get it out and they flat out told me no, so I gave up and lived with it for almost five years. Then I tried this after it was recommended by a friend. I sprayed it on and literally watched the stain run right off my seat. It was amazing! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace the seats in my car because nothing else would work. This stuff really is awesome!" —Brittany

    Get it on Amazon for $13.69+ (available in various sizes and packs of 1–6).

    9. A fume-free cleaner ready to erase years of baked-on drippings from the bottom of your oven. Some of them may be from you; others may be from previous tenants (let's be real — 90% are from you), but they're all gettin' wiped away now.

    a reviewer's before photo which shows their oven dirty and rusty
    reviewer's after photo which shows their oven clean

    The formula can be sprayed on and wiped off in as little as five minutes, but for really bad messes, some reviewers suggest leaving it on overnight.

    Promising review: "My roommates and I moved into a house with an oven that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in maybe 10 years. I figured quarantine was the perfect time to clean it, so I bought this stuff, and it literally worked wonders. I first sprayed a very thick layer and let it sit for three hours, and that got the majority of it off, but there were some still SUPER stubborn spots on the bottom of the oven and the door. I sprayed a second time after thoroughly cleaning out the first and let this one sit overnight. It came off with such little effort, I audibly gasped because I was SO excited. There were still some spots I had to scrape up with a metal scraper, but that’s because they were basically fossilized into the oven from years of neglect. It’s like brand-new now!!! Absolutely recommend!!!" —Emily

    Get it from Amazon for $11.44.

    10. Or an ~eco-friendly~ option with a blend of plant- and mineral-derived purifying and disinfecting ingredients (including eucalyptus, lemon, and peppermint oils, pumice stone, and baking soda) if you prefer to keep things chemical free.

    Everneat / Etsy

    Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based all-natural cleaning shop from Claudia and Angelo Zimmermann. Their oven cleaner comes with a professional-grade metallic scrubber you can use to scrub your appliance before wiping it down with a microfiber cloth. 

    Promising review: "Like many I moved into a house with a used oven. Keeping the typical grease and cooking messes at bay over the years has been a challenge, especially because of its placement in the kitchen (up against a wall in a corner). I tried vinegar and baking soda, Dawn dish soap, then fume-free Easy-Off, which, although effective, is more of a hassle to apply and remove (and wasteful, since I have to cover the heating elements with aluminum foil). Saw this product online and liked the nonchemical ingredients, and decided based on the reviews that it was worth a try. It's not cheap, but this is the only thing that got almost all the residue off my oven surfaces. Nice smell and didn't leave any scratches or marks. I highly recommend rinsing thoroughly and drying with a microfiber cloth for best results." —Irish Eyes

    Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99+ (available in two scents). 

    11. An eco-friendly carpet and upholstery deodorizer to hide the fact that you've dumped lo mein on your living room rug not once, not twice, but thrice.

    Promising review: "Great for dog odors on fabric! We sprinkled it on the couch cushions and put them in trash bags. We shook the bags and let sit for an hour or so. We used the hose of our vacuum and sucked out the air (like you're vacuum sealing). The cushions plumped right up and smelled gorgeous for several weeks. Our very allergic daughter had no problems sitting on the sofa. We also sprinkled on carpets for great deodorizing. Fine powder that goes a long way. Adding this to our regular Amazon purchases!" —Pam

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

    12. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that, once filled with water and a dash of vinegar, will steam clean the grimiest of appliances. Hot Pocket grease, butter splatters, and burnt popcorn smells are no match for her.

    Promising review: "My daughter cooked ramen noodles for three minutes without any water. Needless to say, it was burnt and almost caught fire. I have scrubbed the microwave and couldn’t get the horrible smell out to the point it was giving me a headache. After several days I decided to ordered this before buying a new microwave. Got it today and used it and shocked it actually pulled most of the odor out that’s trapped in the upper vent. This $10 item saved me $200 to $400." —Angela D.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in different sizes and packs of one or two).

    13. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won't stop.

    Promising review: "Everything as advertised and more!!! I lost my entire weekend once I touched this magical machine. Started with a living room rug to make sure I wouldn’t soak other fabric and to get used to the machine. Then I immediately went to the spare bedroom which has horrible pet stains. I did the entire room before moving onto the couches. The power behind the machine is incredible. INVEST!" —Annie

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59.

    14. A nonabrasive cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad and scraper that can get rid of burnt-on food, water stains, and persistent grease splatters. 

    reviewer's before photo of their stained and scratched stovetop
    reviewer's after photo of their clean stovetop

    The heavy-duty formula works on glass, ceramic, induction, radiant, and halogen stovetops.

    Promising review: "Magic!! I thought my brand-new stove stop was ruined after a week!! It was so new and powerful, I was shocked when a pot boiled over and made a huge mess. In a panic (without thinking, obviously), I used a microfiber cloth and tried to clean it while it was hot — yeah I know, really brilliant — needless to say, I had a real mess on my hands and the microfiber melted into the stove top so instead of just water I was dealing with what I thought was a permanent disaster. Someone suggested I try Cerama Bryte, but they didn't have any at Walmart, so I bought like six other products for the interim. None of it helped though, so I ordered from Amazon, and two days later it was here and now my stove looks brand-new again! I can’t even express to you the relief that washed over me after thinking my brand-new stove was ruined. Thankfully because of this incredible product, it is perfect again!" —Peyton

    Get the kit on Amazon for $12.48.

    15. clog-preventing funnel that lets hair go directly down the drain so you and your roommates don't have to take turns wrestling with a drain snake every few weeks.

    16. handy wine stain remover because your area rug has had quite a few Cabernet encounters, and you can only hide so much from your roommates/guests by rearranging the couch and coffee table.

    after which shows the blanket restored like new

    Good news! It works on stains new and old so don't be discouraged if you come across a spill after the fact.

    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. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is. 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 $10.99.

    17. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner that utilizes beeswax to restore tired antiques, furniture, doors, and trim. If you've left a whole lot of cup rings on your coffee table (I mean... who can be bothered with coasters??) then this will become your BFF.

    Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever... it was dry and dirty and not much to look at. I used this product on it, and the oak wood literally came alive showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel... fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski

    Get a bottle on Amazon for $9.98.

    18. An easy-wring microfiber spin mop if you're just now realizing that you've neglected to give your floors a proper deep clean since you moved into your apartment, ohhhh, six months ago now? 

    Check it out on TikTok here!

    Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly

    Get it from Amazon for $34.97

    19. A 20-pack of melamine sponges that may not have a fancy brand name, but clean just as well as their competitors. Simply wet the nonabrasive sponge, wipe down whatever kitchen surface needs some TLC, and then rinse it to use again!

    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

    Promising review: "I love this thing!!!! I have three long-haired dogs, and it just sucks up all that hair. I almost did not get it because of a review saying that it got clogged up quick. That is not the case. It compacts the hair and doesn't lose suction. I empty it once a week, and I sweep almost every day!" —Christy Sanders

    Get it from Amazon for $117.99 (available in five colors).

    21. Some Goo Gone kitchen degreaser sure to come in clutch when you finally work up the courage to clean behind your oven.

    Promising review: "I normally never write reviews, but this product is truly amazing! It took several rounds of spraying and wiping down our cooktop but it has done wonders! I live in a rental apartment, and our stovetop was pretty disgusting with loads of stains. My roommate and I had tried other products to no avail. This products is definitely worth the money! Our before and after pictures are straight out of an infomercial! Buy this!" —Courtney

    Get it from Amazon for $11.53+ (available in two sizes).

    22. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles gel stamps that gradually dissolve with each flush to keep lime scale and toilet rings to a minimum because the less you have to manually scrub your porcelain throne — the better.

    Promising reviews: "What can I say? This smells great and helps deodorize the water closet. It helps sanitize and keeps the bowl clean after every flush...and I can't be the only one who's satisfied when I click, press, and release the little jewel-looking gel tab onto the inside of a sparkling-clean bowl!" —Gino

    "I share a bathroom with three other roommates, and it can be hard to keep clean with all of us having varying schedules. The product is easy to use, stays put inside the bowl until it slowly gets used (which is a surprisingly long time), and is in a convenient little tube that's easy to stick under the sink." —Naomi Siegel

    23. And a pack of itty-bitty crevice-cleaning brushes designed to get into nasty nooks like the spaces under your toilet seat, in your window grooves, and between your air conditioner grates. When you're done, just toss it — no need to clean it!

    Promising review: "I purchased this product for cleaning the screws and tight places on the toilet. I have found multiple uses for them i.e. cleaning between the rim of skillet or pot and where the handle is attached. Great for cleaning car vents, behind faucets, and under faucet handles. The list goes on and on. Will purchase again. I am using these as stocking stuffers for the adults in my family." —Kat

    Promising review: "My absolute favorite little gadget for the car. It's the perfect size that'll fit in your cup holder so it makes for easy storage and it cleans up all the dust and any crumbs that might have spilled. Plus it's purple. It can't get much better than that!" —Abigayle Sullivan

    Promising review: "These work great for pet hair on beds, furniture, pet beds, dog kennels, area rugs, cars, pretty much anything you can think of!

    Slip a single tablet in your detergent tray (or in the bottom of the dishwasher if it won't fit in there) and set it to a regular wash cycle. After it's finished, open it up to find limescale, hard water stains, and other mineral buildup completely wiped out.

    Promising review: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started showing and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. This zapped the buildup and glass is clear again and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden

This is one item I will continue to order." —Klove78

    Promising review: "I have a long haired German Shepherd aka a 'German Shedder' and two cats so I live with animal fur — nothing I can do about it, or so I THOUGHT. The ChomChom is by far the best way to get rid of animal fur in my opinion. This thing is godlike, it makes fabric look so fresh, works perfectly on my suede couches and leaves that 'soft suede' look on them. It does what it's supposed to do perfectly, and it captures all the hair in an easy-to-clean bin. Works excellent on items like furniture and upholstery/car interior. Items like clothing or curtains need to be held down because of the rolling back and forth motion. I think it would make an AMAZING gift for anyone with pets." —Victor T.

    Get it from Amazon for $31.95.

    29. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads capable of lifting whatever nasty stain your pet left you on your new Persian rug. Whether you're picking up slobber, mud, or an "accident" (let's be real — it was just raining and they didn't want to go outside) your fingers don't have to get anywhere near the mess — just throw on a house show, toss the pad on top of the stain, and give it a good ol' stomp.

    Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog that was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy

    30. An all-natural glass cleaner powerful enough to tackle weather-worn windowpanes. If you just moved into a new place or never realized you should regularly wash the *outside* of your windows, pop those suckers out (watch a YouTube vid if you're not sure how) and get to scrubbing.

    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

    Promising review: "I was skeptical at first because I've tried just about everything to clean my monitors and TV screens and EVERYTHING left streaks. Well, the buck stops here. These wipes are AMAZING! As advertised, they are completely streak free. I don't know how they came up with right formula, but they got it! A+++++++++++++++++++++" —Howard C.

    34. A fur-eliminating broom sure to squeegee enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated, it would transform into one of Martha Stewart's Chow Chows.

    Promising review: "This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile." —Nick V.

    35. A sleek air purifier that doesn't just suck up whatever pollutants are swirling around in your home — it DESTROYS them on a molecular level. (Man, I love science. 😌)

    The Air Mini+ uses a patented PECO filter that — when activated by light — first traps large particles and then destroys them before dispersing purified air. If you're concerned about VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, or allergens, this lil' guy is ready to jump into action.

    Promising review: "We love this purifier so far! Breathing clean air is so important — now more than ever. I’m feeling much more confident about the air in our home since we’ve started using the Molekule Air Mini+ in our living room where we spend most of our time together as a family. I love that instead of just trapping the pollutants, it actually destroys them. It was so easy to set up, runs quietly, and looks beautiful in our home. I’m very happy with this purifier, it’s a must-have for those with allergies and pets!" —Stephanie

    Get it from Amazon for $399.99.

    36. A bottle of Goo Gone gel spray because nobody — and I mean nobody — wants to deal with the residue left behind by stickers and other lousy adhesives. Plus, it comes with a little scraping tool so you won't chip a nail or snap a debit card in half while trying to finish the job.

    37. pet-specific stain remover sure to hide the fact that Sparky isn't the perfect angel you make him out to be on Instagram. But that's okay buddy, we all make mistakes.

    Rocco & Roxie is a family-run small business making everything you and your pet need to live a clean and fun life. From treats to toys, they've got what you need!

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

    38. And a grout pen that deposits long-lasting, nontoxic ink that'll erase years of stains. If you've scrubbed, scrubbed, and scrubbed some more — all without result — then submit to the stains and just get this.

    Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well and are super easy to use and covers the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house. The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep small holes or grooves that are in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole and rub it in with your finer and wipe off the rest. I have very light beige tile and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very while tile. This beige will blend well with white as well. Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3'-by-20' area no problem." —NatJH
