1. A ChomChom pet hair remover for pet parents who love their fur babies but not the shedding issue. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when you're finished!
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.

2. K-Cup cleaning pods when you're ready to face the scary buildup brewing inside your coffee maker. You'll be grossed out by the results, but at least it'll be gone for good.
Brew one large cycle with a cleaner pod and one large cycle with water-only. Toss the remaining liquid and cleaner pod when you're done!
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

3. A tub of The Pink Stuff for purging your home of tough stains with *THE* most miraculous cleaning paste. You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been trying to tackle for ages.
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: "What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer

Promising review: “Love love love Folex!! Super easy to use. The bottle does exactly what it says. My chairs were SUPER DIRTY from my 2.5-year-old grandson eating and feeding dogs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how clean they got after just one use. Mind blown!!” —Carobnty

Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub in December. Despite several DIY cleaners, the jets still had a funky smell. Bought this product after seeing it on YouTube, and do not regret my purchase! The amount of 'yuck' that came out of the system was 'ewwww'!

I was very skeptical because the videos look too good to be true, but it ABSOLUTELY works! I just reordered the gallon-size bottle for our vinyl fence.

10. Or a mold and mildew remover *gel* that'll help you target the stubborn mold that hangs out around showers, sinks, and tiled areas. Apply it, wait a few hours, and admire your not-so-hard work.
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 $14.99.
11. A microwave steam cleaner for blasting away all the caked-on food you've been rolling your eyes at whenever you heat something up. Fill the cleaner with some vinegar, pop it in for a few minutes, and call it a day.
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 order 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–$400." —Angela D.
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors and sold individually).

Promising reviews: "First-time homeowner. We expected to do deep cleaning BUT THIS is just a small fraction of how filthy the cabinets were! I will forever live and advocate in favor of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! Along with lots and lots of wood cleaner!" —Amazon Customer
"A gentleman who saw the paint on my van recommended this. And Holy cow it actually removed the paint off my van. I was skeptical at first because I tried other things and it didn't work. But only with one magic eraser, it came out! Simple instructions just wetting it, squeezing it, and scrubbing the area. I'm super happy and it looks like nothing ever happened! Totally with the money!" —Keiry

Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. Dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman

17. A garbage disposal cleaner that'll put an end to all the mysterious gunk that's lurking down there — no elbow-deep dirty work required. And the blue foam is pretty fun to watch, so this may become one of your fave cleaning tasks.
Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!) and run the water just a bit. 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

I highly recommend this product!" —MKDJ
Get it from Amazon for $10.45.
19. A liquid-free rolling screen cleaner so you can use your phone, tablet, laptop, or any other device in your home without having to squint to see past the greasy fingerprints. It's basically a cleaner spray and lens wipe in one!
Simply roll it across the surface to remove the gunk and behold your sparkly screen.
Promising review: "This little device removes the oil from your screen. Often, when you are 'cleaning' your screen by wiping it with a cloth, you are simply pushing around the oil into a thin enough layer to see through without noticing it as much. This device actually lifts the oil and removes it. My screen feels like new, which is great because I am picky about my devices. Also, this is much better than cleaning the screen with some kind of wipe since repeated cleaning with most wipes will damage the screen over time. Unbeknownst to me, my wife was cleaning her screen daily and now her screen collects oils far too quickly because she wore off the protective layer. With this product, you don't need to worry about that. Clean it as often as you want/need and you can continue to enjoy that pristine screen without fear of wearing the oleophobic layer off prematurely. I would highly recommend this to others." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in two sizes).
20. Or a screen cleaner kit when you need all the help you can get to save your BIG screen from unwanted smudges that are ruining your movie nights.

Promising review: "A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub... Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul Wedero
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
21. A tub of shockingly huge heavy-duty cleaning wipes that'll turn big, stressful messes into quick and easy cleanup jobs. Did I mention these smell aaamazing and are gentle on the hands, too?
Promising review: "I'm in LOVE with these. I wanted something to CLEAN, not disinfect. I bought these knowing full well that they weren't Lysol/Clorox wipes. What I didn't know was that they were already pre-moistened — added bonus! They clean really well (even got my gunky window frames looking brand-new) and the smell is wonderful. I love cleaning my bathroom with these simply because it leaves my bathroom smelling like a soft citrus flower (don't worry, it's nothing like grandma's overwhelming floral scent). I definitely recommend these for cleaning around the house!" —Amber
Get a tub of 90 wipes from Amazon for $13.50 (available in various wipe sizes and multi-pack varieties).

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.

Promising review: "You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used up brush sitting in your throne room?

Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom. Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy.

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.

31. Or go all the way with a robot vacuum cleaner so you can tend to more important tasks. It can run 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.
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 of 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

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this spray: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking.

It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."
