    26 Kitchen Products To Clean Things You Didn't Know You Should Be Cleaning

    I regret to inform you that the inside of your dishwasher doesn't clean itself.

    1. A pack of cleaning tablets that will clean your dishwasher for you, because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These will break down lime and mineral build-up so your dishes come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials.

    2. A garbage disposal cleaner – it foams up to help break down any food residue that's been lingering in there for far too long. I'm starting to feel like adulthood is just learning about all the things you never realized you were supposed to be cleaning.

    3. OR! This garbage disposal brush to help you manually scrub any built-up food residue that's probably causing that mysterious stank in your kitchen right now.

    4. A stick-on deodorizer you can place on the lid of your trash can (or simply place it on the bottom) to neutralize odors and stop your garbage from stinking up your entire apartment.

    5. A set of cleaning K-Cups to remove all of the built-up grime in your Keurig machine. You'd be surprised how much coffee residue and old coffee grinds can get stuck in the dispenser.

    6. Or a descaling solution that'll break down all of the limescale buildup inside your electric kettle or coffee maker, because I regret to inform you that the interior also needs cleaning. If your coffee just isn't hitting the spot like it used to, it's probably time to run a cleaning cycle.

    7. OR! A box of coffee machine-cleaning powder to flush out all of the gunk inside that you didn't even know was there. It'll also make your coffee taste way less bitter and get your carafe as sparkly clean as the day you bought it!

    8. A flexible coil brush so you can finally reach all the dust and crumbs that are hiding underneath your fridge and oven. I'm shuddering just thinking about what's living under there.

    9. A set of stove counter gap covers, because you'd be surprised at how many stray crumbs make their way in that space between your stove and countertop.

    10. A fridge deodorizer since you never think to actually clean your refrigerator. It'll trap any nasty food odors and keep your fridge smelling fresh and clean — so it's basically a next-level box of baking soda.

    11. A sprayable "miracle cleaner" to break down every morsel of grime that's made its way onto the oven racks you've probably never taken out to clean. The Princess Diaries was right — ~miracles~ truly do happen once in a while when you believe.

    12. An all-natural oven scrub made with gritty pumice stone so you can really go to town on that pizza that exploded and left a mess everywhere. It'll even clean all the hard-to-reach spots on your racks and oven door — because yes, those needs cleaning too.

    13. An easily washable drip catcher to automatically mop up any water splashes and stop the back of your sink from getting gross and mildewy.

    14. A vegetable and fruit brush, because simply rinsing them under the water for five seconds just isn't good enough. This brush has an ergonomic circular design so you can easily scrub away at your grimy carrots and dirty potatoes.

    15. A pack of stainless steel wipes so you can stop pretending those fingerprints and smudges on your fridge doors are un-cleanable.

    16. A grout cleaning kit to loosen up all the dirt in between your tiles, because a sparkly clean floor can go a long way in revitalizing your kitchen.

    17. AND! This swivel grout and corner brush that attaches to basically any broom handle, because sometimes a simple mop doesn't cut it and you shouldn't have to get on your hands and knees just to keep your kitchen floor looking presentable.

    18. An all-natural wood cleaner so you can finally give your cabinets a thorough wipe down. The orange essential oil will cut right through any built-up grease, so this will basically be a life-saver for cleaning the sticky cabinets over your stove.

    19. A microwave steam cleaner, because the mess in there doesn't just disappear when you close the door and walk away. This little device uses the power of sheer anger (and steam) to eliminate dirt and stains from your microwave.

    20. A wood-friendly cleaner made with coconut soap and lemon oil so you can finally give your trusty cutting board the thorough yet gentle scrub down it deserves.

    21. And a jar of conditioner for your cutting board, because you probably had no idea you should be taking care of it in between washings. The blend of coconut oil and beeswax will keep it protected, bright, and shiny — and it even works on wooden utensils and furniture!

    22. A stainless-steel cleaning spray (with a bonus microfiber cloth!) so you can eradicate the fingerprints and random smears that somehow appear over every single inch of your oven door.

    23. A set of reusable nonstick oven liners that'll catch the lasagna that's bubbling over before it has a chance to reach the bottom and basically become a permanent part of your oven forever. If you haven't been cleaning the bottom of your oven — this will make it so much easier.

    24. A chainmail scrubber so you can actually clean all of the burned-on grime on your cast-iron skillets without removing the seasoning or causing damage. It's also safe for use on waffle makers, griddles, and everything else you barely bother cleaning.

    25. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser that can remove tarnish, soap scum, rust and hard water deposits from the sink you've never given a thorough wipe down.

    26. And a two-in-one ultra-slim brush and scraper that will clean every literal nook and cranny of your stove top and sink. Seriously, this will find and dislodge those pesky crumbs you didn't even know were there.
