1. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to stop mold and mildew from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire bathroom. Just spray and walk away — your future self will be SO grateful.
Promising review: "Powerful enough to cut through soap scum on my shower door!! I was amazed...I could see the streaks within minutes as the product collected and ran down the inside of the shower door. I used it again the next day to finish off what was there and then weekly since. I have shiny, pretty doors again without scrubbing once!! Also, the scent is so subtle that it’s hard to detect. Very happy to recommend this to all!" —Greg n Jeni
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (also available in a refill size).
2. A well-loved robotic vacuum over 33,000 Amazon reviewers have raved about. You can schedule cleaning times right from the included remote — and your guests will have no idea your new maid is actually a robot.
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Teach3
Get it from Amazon for $149.99+ (available in two colors).
3. Or a robotic mop and vacuum combo — because yes, that's a thing now! You can finally wave goodbye to that bulky old-school bucket and mop, or stop fooling yourself into thinking those wet floor sweepers actually do anything.
Promising review: "I am so impressed with this product! I was concerned at first because it was not as expensive as what some of my relatives spent on their robot vacuum systems, but I am so glad I got this one! I have hardwood floors with 3 cats and 1 dog and hair is a constant challenge, but this vacuum took care of it with no problem. It’s quiet, easy to set up, and really does an amazing job! It also goes over my floor dividers with no problem." —Jeanette Z.
Get it from Amazon for $249.99.
4. A pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you, because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These will break down lime and mineral buildup so your dishes come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in a pack of 12).
5. An easily washable drip catcher to automatically mop up any water splashes and stop the back of your sink from getting gross and mildewy.
Promising review: "LOVE these splash catchers! They save me from having to chase the puddles that form around the base of our faucet before they start creeping over the counter. So reasonably priced, made well with neatly finished edges, and packaged with gift-ready care." —Alina
Hustle and Sew Shop is a small Etsy shop based in Saint Helens, Oregon.
Get it from Hustle and Sew Shop on Etsy for $13.50+ (available in four sizes and six colors).
6. A pair of fluffy slippers with microfiber mops on the soles so you can stay lazy and get some cleaning done at the same time — which is truly what you deserve.
Promising review: "So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes — like drops of water from doing dishes — and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and 17 styles).
7. 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 realize that adulthood is just about finding new things to clean.
Promising review: "Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn’t just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products, it cleans too and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out and that’s good enough for me." —sylvie yah
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $4.68 (also available in a pack of 24).
8. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets, because I regret to inform you that you have to clean the thing that cleans your clothes. These tablets will banish odors and break down residue so your clothes will come out feeling cleaner than ever.
Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis
Get the pack of three tablets from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in packs of five and six).
9. A jar of toilet fizzies — which are basically like bath bombs for your toilet. Simply plop one in the bowl and let the blend of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid break down stains and help kill any lingering bacteria. Oh, and it's also loaded with eucalyptus essential oil to make your porcelain throne smell like a fancy spa.
Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" —kd Bromley
Happy Earth Boutique is a woman-owned small business making healthier alternatives for your health and home.
Get it from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $11.04+ (available with or without a refillable jar).
10. A click-on automatic cleaning pack that clings right inside the toilet bowl to keep things fresh if your roomie skipped out on cleaning duties yet again. It'll clean with every flush and keep things fresh in between more thorough scrubbing sessions.
Promising review: "This is a nifty design. Easy to use and press on without being a mess using the one piece design. Beautiful scent. It really does release a pleasant scent each time without being overwhelming." —outlander22
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $4.58.
11. OR! Some classic Clorox tabs — they go directly into the commode and will leave the toilet disinfected just five minutes after flushing. It also turns the water blue, and that's just plain fun.
Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $11.99.
12. A jetted tub cleaner for anyone who desperately needs a relaxing pumpkin spice-scented bath but your tub is a little too grimy for comfort after not cleaning it all summer. It'll remove all the gunk trapped in the places you can't even see, so your tub will be the cleanest it's ever been.
13. A stationary vacuum to automatically suck up any dirt and debris you sweep toward it. It's like the reliability of an old-school broom combined with the convenience of a robotic vacuum.
Promising review: "The Eye-Vac is awesome. My cat and dog keep my hardwoods so furred-up that I think I still have carpet sometimes. The ever present fur clouds demand constant sweeping, pulling it off the broom and scooping it up and pulling the fur off the broom again. Arghhh! Now, I just sweep it up to the Eye-Vac and poof, it's gone, broom cleaned and I'm done. A huuuge advantage is that my husband is old and can't bend to manage the dust pan business. With the Eye-Vac, he can easily sweep up to the vac and poof, gone and done. Now, I don't have to do it all the time." —Karole
Get it from Amazon for $159 (available in three colors).
14. Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads that make cleaning up after accidents so easy — seriously, you don't even have to scrub. Simply place a pad over the stain, press down with your foot, then remove to reveal a good-as-new carpet.
The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved! Everything you need is on the pad already.
Promising review: "I never ever write reviews for anything, but I just had to write one for these. We have two dogs and one of them will get sick or have an accident in the house a few times a month. I've used all kinds of carpet cleaner as well as the SpotBot, but they never seemed to really get the stains out. I bought these on a whim because I was desperate to find something that might work and guess what? THEY WORKED! No joke, every stain I have put these on has come out of the carpet. I have told everyone I know about these and have heard great things from them as well. If you are on the fence, just give them a try!" —Angela Mimm
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.48.
15. A smart air purifier with settings you can completely control from your smartphone or other Alexa-enabled device. Want to put it on a lower setting while you sleep? Just say "Alexa, turn down the air purifier" while you curl up under the covers.
Promising review: "I love this air purifier. I have owned one for a bit and decided I needed a second for another room. The quality is incredible. Pros: easy to clean, easy to use, adaptable for various times of the day (night mode, three levels, new filter light, etc.), inexpensive for the quality. As someone who has had asthma since 6 months of age, I highly recommend it!!" —Fort Worth Cathy
Get it from Amazon for $89.98+ (available in three colors).
16. A super-long duster that can reach high enough to clean your ceiling fans and vents and far enough to clean that weird space underneath your dresser. You could practically lay on the couch and dust every surface around you.
Promising review: "I love my new duster. The ability to extend the pole makes it easy to clean the ceiling fan blades, chandeliers, and the AC vents. Because it’s so lightweight, it makes reaching very easy." —Linnette L.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).
17. A spray gel for when you want to get rid of rust stains but you're waaaaay too lazy to actually do any scrubbing. Simply spray it on, wait a few minutes for the rust to dissolve, and then rinse it away.
Promising review: "I have battled stains in the shower for the past year since moving into our house. The shower was already discolored when we moved in, and I have tried many other products with no success. I was skeptical that this product would be different! I sprayed the shower and let it sit as recommended on the bottle. I let it do its thing for longer because I could see the stains disappearing before my eyes! This product requires little scrubbing. It really is like magic! I plan on continuing to use this every week to keep the discoloration from returning!" —Kitty B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
18. A set of cleaning K-Cups that'll 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.
Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a pack of 12).
19. A pair of DrainWigs — they hang out in your shower's drain to catch stray hairs and stop you from having to buy yet another bottle of Drano. It's meant to be disposed of after four months, so you'll never even have to touch any of the hair it collects!
Promising review: "I didn't even think about my shower drain being such a problem with hair. We have a relatively new shower and the drain was starting to be slow, but not really a problem because the pipe has a long drop. I was watching Shark Tank and thought maybe I need to check this out. Wow, there was a lot of hair to clean! Three long-haired girls in the house! I started using this and it pulled all sorts of hair out. We change it about once a month. Easy to pull out and no breaks or rust. I keep buying!" —Kindle Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.99.
20. A shower spray you can spritz on every day to quickly fight off mold and mildew-causing bacteria without any scrubbing or rinsing required. It's a lazy clean freak's best friend.
Promising review: "Wonderful scent, easy to use, liked the minimalist label; packaged well and shipped quickly. Recommended!" —Anne B.
Roses Natural Store is a small Etsy shop based in Katy, Texas.
Get it from Roses Natural Store on Etsy for $10.99 (available in two scents).
21. A stain repellent — it's bound to become a lifesaver if you're a little too clumsy with your red wine. It'll create a protective barrier on your fabric so any spills will sit on the surface instead of soaking in and causing a stain. All you have to do is wipe it away!
Promising review: "I put this on a brand new cloth Thomasville sectional as soon as I purchased it. Three weeks later, I had friends over and someone spilled an entire glass of red wine on the seat. I sucked wind and got a damp white cloth and tried to look casual...while panicking on the inside. The wine just sat on top of the material. I did not rub, just blotted. Every drop came off the sofa instantly. Within a few minutes everyone was back sitting on the sofa and it was no big deal. Absolutely will buy again. I have recommended this product several times to friends and family." —Nancy
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
22. A pack of foil liners to catch all of the grease and oil splatters that basically do a full acrobatic routine in the air and land right underneath your burner on your gas stove top. You can just toss and replace 'em once they get too dirty.
Promising review: "One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" —Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
23. Or these similar liners for electric ranges that are perfectly sized to fit right underneath the burner, so you can wave goodbye to scrubbing that pasta sauce that accidentally spilled over.
Promising review: "These are great covers to protect your drip pans from spills. I like that they're small enough to fit underneath the heating component but don't cover the outer ring of the drip pan that is most visible on the stove. Since the outer part is easily accessible to wipe down immediately after a spill these covers allow you to protect the inner part without sacrificing the appearance of a clean shiny drip pan on your stove. Considering the fact that this set came with 25 of each size, I would consider this a very good deal." —chem grad student
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of 100).
24. A stain remover in a squeezable gel formula, meaning it can cling onto awkward vertical and inclined surfaces and fit in tight spaces. Just squeeze, walk away, then give it a quick rinse in the morning to reveal some jaw-dropping results.
Promising review: "I hardly leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this product. I just received this yesterday, applied it last night and this morning it’s like I have a brand new bathroom. I’m embarrassed to show 'before' and 'after' photos cuz it was so nasty, no matter how hard we scrubbed the mildew wouldn’t go away. I almost cried when I saw my bathroom this morning. Don’t hesitate, buy this now, you won’t regret it." —Bianca Green
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
25. A set of washable 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.
Promising review: "I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning oven and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" —Vicky
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.
26. Or a pack of easily cleanable yet disposable drip trays for when you just know that casserole you're whipping up is going to leap out of the pan.
Promising review: "These work really well for keeping the bottom of the oven clean. I make a lot of pizzas that end up with cheese dripping onto the bottom of the oven, and then I have to listen to my wife complain that her oven is dirty and the house smells like burnt sausage. Since I bought a 10-pack of these they fit well and have done a great job of saving me from cleaning the oven." —BriGuy
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $27.99.
27. A natural all-purpose cleaner — it's safe to use on basically any surface, so you can mindlessly clean your entire home with just one bottle when time is of the essence.
Promising review: "This cleaner is wonderful on anything! The smell is amazing and does a great job of cleaning." —JoAnn Fliehs
Humble Suds is a small Etsy shop based in Denver, Colorado.
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $24.95 (available in three scents).
28. A bottle of Kaboom Foam-Tastic bathroom cleaner with OxiClean that changes color when it's ready to be wiped away — and that's just genius. It sprays on blue, so you can make sure every inch of your tub is covered, then turns white when it's done breaking down all that soap scum and hard water stains.
Check out a TikTok of the Kaboom Foam-Tastic cleaner in action.
Promising review: "I'm not one to normally write reviews, however, this amazed me. I moved into this house after we got married a year ago, and I had tried everything from natural products to bleach to Magic Erasers and then a combination and nothing. I was astonished at the results this product produced. Plus, it smells delicious. At least to me, but I like the smell of cleaning products. I'm considering Kabooming the whole house — love this stuff!!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in packs of four and eight).
29. And a refreshing room spray made with essential oils so you can make your home smell like you've been cleaning all day when you've really just been scrolling through TikTok. You can also spray it on all your linens for when you decide to delay laundry day for the seventh time this week.
Promising review: "Makes my room and bed smell fresh. Even put a few drops in my potpourri pot and made the scent last longer. Love the variety of scents." —Sharon
