    Promising review: "Cleaned discolored tile in front of the fireplace, which is used almost every night during the winter. House is 70 years old. Followed the directions given on the product. Tile looks brand-new with very little effort !!" —kellyMReads

    Get it from Amazon for $17.03.

    2. An instant stain remover spray to blast away mold and mildew that accumulated on your patio furniture and any other outdoor areas over the summer. This will remove stains from just about any surface AND it doesn't require you to scrub until your arm falls off.

    Promising review: "It rains almost everyday during the Summer in Florida. By the end of Summer, my cool deck was green with mold around the perimeter. I was about to pay to have someone power wash my deck but found RMR-86 on Amazon. I purchased a bottle and sprayed all the areas that had mold and mildew. RMR-86 started working within minutes right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." —Marie Moore

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes).

    3. An electric pressure washer when you need maximum power to clean those outdoor areas that got especially dirty over the summer. It can be used on decks, fences, and driveways. It even comes with the garden hose adapter, so you can get right work on beautifying your property for fall!

    Promising review: "Power washer was delivered Monday, it’s Wednesday and I have washed two cars, cleaned driveway and side walks, cleaned back fence and the work keeps piling up, everything I see now needs to be cleaned! This little dude does not back down, plenty of power and it's surprising not too loud. Soap dispensers work great, and the tips are easy to change." —Mar

    Get it from Amazon for $169.

    4. And a mold and mildew remover for inside the house. It's easy to use *and* highly effective. Apply it, wait a few hours, and your work is done! It's great for dealing with stubborn mold around showers, sinks, and tiled areas.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still managed to grow mold and turn brown/ black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product and the transformation is huge. First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." —Rochelle

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    5. The Pink Stuff, which is a popular favorite among cleaning enthusiasts because it lifts tough stains with minimal effort. This means you won't have to prepare for a rigorous workout when you start your fall cleaning!

    Britt Ross / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!"

    Promising review: "The stuff cleans anything. I had an old outdoor lounge chair that had been sitting outside for years. It had so much buildup on it I was sure I would have to just throw it away. We tried everything, and the Pink Stuff was the only thing that worked. It looks brand new! I also use this on my oven and my shower. It does take a little elbow grease but the result is always beautiful." —~MJ~

    Get a it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in packs of one, two, or three).

    6. A Rubbermaid power scrubber when you're finally ready to face the soap scum that's been living rent-free in your home since you did spring cleaning. This powerful device will have your bathroom sparkling clean in no time.

    Gif of Natalie using the power scrubber on the tile
    Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown says: "I'm obsessed! 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."

    Get it from Amazon for $17.38.

    7. And an all-natural tile and tub cleaner so you can get your tub nice and clean without the off-putting smell of harsh chemicals filling your bathroom. Instead, you'll be met with the pleasant aroma of tea tree and eucalyptus oils! Spray the tub, wait a bit, then wipe away the gunk.

    Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in three sizes).

    8. A drill brush kit because sometimes you need more power than elbow grease alone can deliver. Attach the brush head to your drill, turn it on, and get rid of those stains ASAP!

    The same tub with all the stains removed

    Promising review: "These things are amazing. I have the black, blue and green. They have saved me SO MUCH time and elbow grease. Even with a little 12v DeWalt drill, you can do major damage on any sort of build-up. 20v on shower tile is a joke. Saves so much time and scrubbing. Oven glass? Shower glass or tile? Stained cutting boards? With the right cleaner and a drill- these things are absolutely invaluable. One of the better Amazon products I’ve bought. And I shop for almost everything through Amazon. Just make sure you know which color to use for whatever you’re cleaning so you don’t scratch your surfaces." —S. Fraczek

    Get it from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles).

    9. A pack of toilet bowl bombs that are not packed with harsh chemicals or smells. They're made of all-natural ingredients and all you have to do is drop one in the toilet bowl and watch the fizzy bomb get the job done.

    Promising review: "Literally can’t tell you how worth the wait these toilet bombs are! They smell absolutely incredible but not artificial, and they WORK. I have a new baby and two other kids, and my house is basically a biohazard because I’m short on time and energy. I just plop one of these puppies into the toilet, come back shortly and scrub, and they glisten. Even my husband, who has never voluntarily cleaned anything in his life, will clean toilets because the fizzers are fun." —Teresa Cambria

    Get it from Viren Apothecary on Etsy for $9+ (available in three sizes).

    10. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets to give your machine a super thorough cleaning while it runs. If you've been pulling out spotty dishes that are far from clean, it might be time to clean the machine itself!

    Promising review: "I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.

    11. An all-natural oven scrub if you've been avoiding baking and roasting during the summer months and it's *finally* time to face all those food remnants that have been sitting in your oven. Apply the paste, scrub, and voila!

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

    12. cooktop cleaning kit so you can prepare your stove for allll the fall cooking you're about to do! If you've been putting off a good stove cleaning since spring, now is the time. This'll lift grease stains and other messes much more easily than all-purpose cleaners.

    It comes with the cleaner, a scraper and pad.
    Reviewer photo showing dirty cooktop before using the kit and after with a shiny, clean cooktop

    This kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, one cleaning tool, and one scraper.

    Promising review: "I’ve used this cleaning kit on glass top stoves for several years, and highly recommend it. The cream removes most marks on the cooktop, and the accompanying razor and cleaning pad will remove any residue. If you clean this type of cooktop after every use, you’ll avoid spending much time cleaning. It literally takes only a minute or two to get the stovetop completely clean and ready for its next use. A few drops will do a thorough job so this size bottle will last a long while." —Cecilia P.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.09.

    13. A grill cleaner to get rid of all those nasty grease drippings and any other summer BBQ leftovers living in your grill. All you have to do is spray, wait a bit, and then wipe away the stains. It can also be used on ovens and broilers!

    Promising review: "I tried six different products before trying this one and by far, this is the best one of all. I am the type of person who prefers cleaning the grill immediately after grilling. It loosens the debris off the grates easily and comes off easily. I like easy practical cleaning without the need to spend much time scrubbing. Try it, you will not regret it." —Fmcasado

    Get it from Amazon for $15.07+ (or $15.35 for a two-pack).

    14. And a microwave steam cleaner for eliminating all the caked-on food you've been rolling your eyes at each time you warm something up. Fill this cleaner with some vinegar, run the microwave for a few minutes, and your job is done!

    Get it from Amazon for $9.15+.

    16. A portable Bissell Little Green machine to tackle tough stains that kids, pets, and guests may have tracked into your home during the summer months! This powerful machine can clean carpet, fabric, and upholstery.

It comes with a three-inch Tough Stain Tool, a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Hose Tool, and a trial-size of Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.

    Promising review: "Two months ago we got a 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted. That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made cleanup of everything so much simpler and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy can isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends and our couch gets that fresh clean smell in an hour." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59.

    17. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets you'll be extra thankful for after all those loads of dirty laundry you'll be doing in preparation for holiday guests!

    They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.

    Promising review: "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 6 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 it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes).

    18. And a dry vent cleaner kit that might gross you out with the results, but the sheer relief you'll feel will be worth it! This vacuum attachment sucks out all the lint and dust trapped in your dryer vent. 

    Promising review: "This thing is seriously amazing. I figured out how to use it very quickly and it worked like a charm. I had a sock stuck wayy down in my vent and would've had no idea! I still can't believe how much lint and dust came out of my dryer. My husband is already talking about other uses for this unique tool, like getting into tight spaces in our cars." —J. Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in four colors).

    19. An adjustable duster brush perfect for cleaning those extra tricky areas, like the AC vents, between the blinds, and the fan blades. Dust is famous for accumulating in these areas, but this tool will get rid of it in a snap!

    GIF of a reviewer running the duster brush across two blinds

    This handy dandy tool comes with five microfiber cloths, meaning you'll be able to clean your whole darn house in one sweep.

    Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." —Sarah

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).

    20. A holy-grail carpet cleaner that'll take care of any unfortunate messes that your carpet may suffer this fall. Unlike other cleaners, it's odorless, nonflammable, and contains no solvents.

    reviewer photo of cream-colored carpet with large dark brown chocolate milk stain
    reviewer photo of same carpet with the stain totally removed

    Promising review: "I'm absolutely speechless. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I'm baffled as to how this stuff works. I feel like I'm in an infomercial demo where they spill red wine on a white carpet and then after spraying the 'magic carpet cleaner' the stain vanishes. Unlike infomercial products that don't actually do anything when you try it at home, this stuff completely makes stains vanish before your eyes. Carpet cleaning products certainly don't excite me normally, but after watching how the spaghetti sauce that I dripped on the light beige carpet completely disappeared, I've been telling everybody I know to buy some. You don't even have to wipe it; you just spray it on and the stain is gone!" —Scott G

    Get it from Amazon for $10.12+ (available in two bottle sizes and nine pack sizes).

    21. An odor-eliminating spray if you want your home to smell fresh *and* be free of stains. Pet owners swear by this odor-eliminating spray, so you know it's the real deal.

    Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pads, I saturate the area with Rocco & Rossi's odor remover and let dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona mia

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

    22. A bottle of cleaning concentrate for conquering those *seriously* tough messes. Add this concentrate to your carpet cleaner and watch the stains disappear before your eyes!

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!

    Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on auto ship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    23. Some Bissell Stomp & Go Cleaning Pads when you're in a hurry and can't be bothered to pull out all the stops with carpet cleaner and rags. Place the pad on the stain and stomp on it to activate the cleaning formula. Reviewers with pets swear by these pads for stubborn pet stains!

    Promising review: "These things saved me from replacing my entire upstairs carpet! We had already replaced one section before finding these and were worried we’d have to replace another section at a cost of $3,000. Stomp and leave it for 24 hours and I was amazed to see my carpet was its original light cream color. I now stock a box of these and have told every one of my pet-owning friends about them. I’ll never spend hours scrubbing the floor or carpet shampooing again!" —findingk8

    Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $22.69.

    24. A ChomChom pet hair remover for getting rid of all the hair your pet is about to shed this fall. You'll love removing pet hair *without* having to use adhesive rollers. When you're finished, simply empty the hair out of the compartment and go about your day!

    Reviewer photo showing pet hair removed with ChomChom
    Another reviewer holding new ChomChom roller before using it

    Promising review: "I have three indoor cats, two of them seniors and they have really started shedding terribly. I own no less than a dozen different pet hair/lint removal gadgets and not ONE of them even approaches the effectiveness of this product. Normally, I time my pet hair removal sessions to right before I shower because I am dripping sweat after half an hour of grueling work. I just removed every trace of pet hair from my sofa in less than 5 minutes and I didn't even break a sweat. As I stood back and examined my sofa, I did not believe it had actually removed the hair but had probably pushed it around somewhere less visible. I popped the button that opens the hair collection compartment on the roller, and THE HAIR WAS IN THERE. WHAT?!!?! It actually took the hair off of my sofa and put it in the compartment!! Literally, I almost cried. I am considering having guests over into my home again...going out to make some friends right now!" —A.W.

    Get it from Amazon for $28.95.

    25. And an air purifier to, you know, keep the air you breathe clean! This device is especially useful for people with allergies that worsen when the seasons change. It filters out dust, pet dander, mold, and pollen.

    Promising review: "This is an excellent purifier for those who are affected by cat dander, mold, and other problems associated with breathing difficulties. I have several cats so there is so much hair in the air in addition to their dander. This machine has solved my breathing problems during the night (I use it in my bedroom). I am sleeping better every night, which I'm sure is due to the cleaner air that I am breathing. Another plus is that I'm using a great deal less tissues." —Linda Cruz

    Get it from Amazon for $89.98+ (available in two colors and as a two-pack).

    26. A robot vacuum cleaner you can keep running in the background while you tend to other fall cleaning tasks. It can vacuum for up to 100 minutes and you can set boundaries so it only cleans certain areas. It also has Wi-Fi connectivity, so you can use Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to tell your robot vacuum to get to work!

    Reviewer photo of robot vacuum on floor
    Reviewer photo showing dust and dirt the vacuum picked up

    If you're tired of noisy vacuums that scare your pets and wake up your children (or you're just plain tired of vacuuming), then this robot vacuum cleaner might be an *actual* lifesaver. It delivers powerful suction at a volume that's no louder than your microwave. When more powerful suction is needed in tough areas, it automatically increases suction power within 1.5 seconds. The robot vacuum comes with boundary strips, a remote control and two AAA batteries, an AC power adapter, a charging base, a cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, four side brushes, five cable ties, a welcome guide, and a 12-month warranty.

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh this thing is AWESOME!!! Have used it daily for a couple weeks and is STILL pulling dirt from the (rented apt) carpet. Even as the roller continues to get wrapped in dog hair, it doesn't seize up like my upright has. It comes with a handy widget to cut off the tangled fur and brush the dirt off the filter. I don't have the required radius to set to auto; it's not a big deal to release it from the docking station and let it go. My only critique is that the collection bin is a bit small... But I'm hoping sooner or later it will stop pulling a full load of dirt. Absolutely LOVE it. "I" now vacuum daily." —LaurenPB

    Get it from Amazon for $159.99

    27. A machine-washable EasyWring microfiber spin mop that's TikTok famous for a reason! It has a hands-free wringer, a splash guard, and 360-degree rotating abilities. Plus, the advanced microfiber strands are powerful enough to clean with just water — no harsh chemicals needed. It might just change the way you feel about mopping and fall cleaning in general!

    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

    28. A watermark remover cloth so you can say goodbye to all those water stains on your lovely wood furniture just in time for the holidays. It also adds a protective layer so future mishaps won't be as much of a headache.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.

    29. Some Feed-N-Wax polish and conditioner made with a blend of carnauba and beeswax to bring dull wood surfaces back to life! Whether your antique furniture is looking drab or your cabinets need help, this stuff is like gold in a bottle. It adds a protective coating to help prevent further wear, too.

    Promising review: "Words cannot express how thrilled I am with this product. Dry, scuffed cabinets now look like NEW. You can watch this stuff work in seconds before your eyes. My bathroom, laundry room, and kitchen cabinets look like they were professionally refinished. This stuff is no joke. I actually feel stupid that I let the wood go so long without touching it up. It’s so easy, just wipe on/wipe off. I shouldn’t have waited until the wood looked terrible." —Julie G.

    Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

    30. Or a natural cleaning balm if you want to ~revive~ wood surfaces with a blend of beeswax, olive oil, coconut oil, and grapefruit essential oil. This food-safe formula can be used on cabinets, cutting boards, leather, and more.

    Promising review: "HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! This stuff is amazing! I spent the afternoon using this on all my cutting boards, my large leather couch, 2 leather chairs+ottomans, my wood end tables and coffee table, my wood island, wood entry church pew and finally, my leather purse. One container did all this work and everything looks so beautiful! And my house smells amazing. To top it all off, my hands are pleasantly conditioned too. Glad I bought 2 containers and will be a repeat customer. OH, and the seller threw in a bag of laundry detergent and deodorizer that worked very well on my bed sheets and dog beds. Thank you!" —Sara Mora

    31. garbage disposal cleaner for getting rid of ALL the mysterious gunk that's living down there — no dirty work required. It's kinda fun to watch the blue foam do its work, so this may become one of your fave cleaning tasks!

    To use this product, be sure you've got an empty disposal and that it's turned off. Run the faucet with a strong stream of hot water into the sink with the disposal for one minute. Note: run the hot water into the sink itself, not directly into the disposal. After a minute, reduce the stream to a pencil-width trickle. Insert one unopened, biodegradable cleaning packet into the disposal and turn the disposal on. You may see the blue cleaning foam may rise into the sink (or both sinks if you have a double sink). The cleaning action will continue as foam retreats into the disposal. The cleaning process is finished once the foam entirely disappears from disposal (about one to two minutes). Rinse any remaining foam from the sink and turn off the disposal!

    Promising review: "Holy cow I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, in my naïve thinking, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. Little did I know that there was an actual cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. So of course, I had to try it. Very simple instructions: it literally takes five minutes and some hot water and VOILÀ! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Let me say that anytime I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of those packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus the blue foam bubbling through the sink was amusing to watch ;-). Worth every penny!" —VadersGirl

    Promising review: "This is hands-down the only product that has ever perfectly cleaned my stainless-steel appliances.

Everyone who has stainless should own this." —Danielle

    Promising review: "This product is amazing. It removed hard water stains from my kitchen faucet 100% in less than 10 minutes. I like that it is a thick pasty quality that you can brush on, walk away and let it work, then wipe off with a cloth. So much easier to use than the dozens of spray on products I used in the past! And less messy than sprays, easy to control, easy to apply. Highly recommend for any areas where you have hard water stains." —summer40

These cloths exceeded my expectations more than I could have imagined! No streaks! None! I even used these on our car windows! No streaks! Not even when the sun hits the windshield!
