    3. An automatic Glade air freshener so you can save guests (and yourself) the embarrassment of having to manually Febreze the bathroom before you exit.

    Humble Suds is a small cleaning brand run by two moms — Holli Schuab and Jennifer Parnell — in Evergreen, Colorado.

They recommend applying a tablespoon of their scouring paste to a cloth and then scrubbing in a circular motion. 

    Promising review: "I used the surface scrub today on my bathtub and bathroom sink, and it works WONDERS! I love that the ingredients are minimal and organic, but gets the job done. I love this product!" —hinako jefferson

    Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $14.95+ (available in two sizes).

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

    7. A touchless vacuum you can sweep debris right into. No more song and dance with your dustpan trying to sweep up every last speck of dust.

    8. An all-natural lavender-scented cleaner that deodorizes and eliminates bacteria just like the best of 'em but without any irritating chemicals.

    Cleaning Studio / Etsy

    Cleaning Studio 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 Cleaning Studio on Etsy for $17.99+ (available in a plastic or glass container). 

    21. A ChomChom roller to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.

    22. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets that take your go-to water bottle from nasty to gleaming in just minutes. IDK who needs to hear this, but "rinsing" it with water every day isn't enough. 😔

    23. A fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated, it would transform into one of Martha Stewart's Chow Chows.

    24. A TubShroom so you don't have to worry about a wig's worth of hair accumulating in your drain every week.

    25. Or, if you didn't heed my advice and get the above, a drain snake that'll help you wrestle a small animal from your bathtub.

    26. The Blueland Clean Suite, which comes with everything you need to give your collection an eco-friendly, cost-effective overhaul. So many pretty colors, too 😍

    The kit which comes with seven reusable containers and cleaning solutions

    27. Or, if dishes are your main area of concern, a Clean Plate Club Starter Kit from Fillaree.

    The 16-ounce pump bottle of dish soap and 64-ounce refill jug

    28. A self-cleaning Litter-Robot that not only saves you from scooping poop, but gives you an excuse to send Star Wars–themed Snapchats of your cat.

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

    30. 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.

    31. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubbing pads you can plop into the trash the second you're done cleaning. No more poo particles just sitting around on your toilet brush. 🙅‍♀️

    32. 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. 😌)

    33. 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.

    34. A Dawn Powerwash starter kit that will help cut through grease and caked on messes. If your partner/roommate/dishwashing pal has a tendency to let things "soak" overnight, gift them a bottle of the good stuff.

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

    36. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that somehow, someway remove whatever mess you put them up against. Good news for those with kiddos who've ever had unsupervised time with a (stolen) Sharpie!

    37. A vacuum attachment you can use to suck lint out of your dryer because 1) Things are taking wayyyyy too long to dry and 2) This Is Us has given you a *major* fear of house fires. (I know that was from a different appliance but it stands.)

    38. A set of scratch-free, odor-resistant Scrub Daddy sponges that — thanks to their ingenious design and indisputable results — quickly became a Shark Tank success story. The sponge's proprietary foam is firm when used with cold water and soft when used with warm water.

    39. And pet stain remover to hide the fact that Sparky isn't the perfect angel you make him out to be on Instagram. But that's OK, buddy, we all make mistakes.

    40. 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.

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

    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
