1. A tub of cooktop wipes so you can easily swipe up any mess before it has time to become caked-on grime. It also works on microwaves if that's the only kind of oven you use on a regular basis.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I can't stand when after I am cooking how I always have oil stains and grease on my cooktop! But with one wipe I am able to now get everything off the stove. It is very convenient to be able to just use one wipe for everything!" —Debra E.
Get a pack of 30 wipes and a large microfiber cloth from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in a pack of 60).
2. A 20-pack of cleaning erasers — they're more affordable than name brands but still...um...magic, if you catch my drift. These little sponges use just water to lift away tough stains — and the results are downright soothing.
Promising review: "These babies have transformed and reformed my slobby life. My dog sitter thought I got a new sink and fridge. I have never had more fun cleaning in my life — wait, I have never had any fun cleaning. But these magical creatures make it so freaking satisfying. No toxic stuff. No fumes. Just heavenly cleanliness." —Jimmy Jim Ereeno
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $9.95.
3. A gas range cleaning spray that takes just seconds to cut through grime and grease and eliminate any evidence that your roommates are total slobs. Now I'm just projecting.
This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let's just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I'm not particular fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we're even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe.
Get a two pack from Amazon for $14.88 (also available in packs of two and eight).
4. A powerful spray that will break down stubborn mold and mildew stains almost instantly. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower is actually supposed to look like.
Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in two sizes and various pack sizes).
5. A reusable and machine-washable duster that fits onto the Swiffer duster handle so you can stop wasting money on the flimsy disposable refills. These will quickly get rid of the layer of dust that's been accumulating since you moved in. No judgment.
Promising review: "LOVE the washable duster attachments. These are SO soft and such great quality. The stitching is strong and I don’t worry about anything coming apart. We use ours with our swifter duster wand and it fits perfectly. If you’re looking for a more sustainable item, this is one for you." —Cassie Couch

Get it from TS Designs US on Etsy for $5 (available in 10 colors).
6. A disposable cleaning wand to make scrubbing the toilet less of a chore. The kit comes with 16 refill heads to get you started, so you can immediately say goodbye to that dirty toilet wand in your bathroom!
Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
7. Or 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 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 $10.20+ (available with or without a refillable jar).
8. 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 $8.67.
9. A carpet cleaner to clean up everything from spaghetti mishaps to red wine oopsies. Oh, and did I mention it works INSTANTLY?! Just spray it, agitate the stain with your fingertips, then use a cloth to blot away the mess in mere seconds.
Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I use it in my Bissell carpet cleaner for some crazy-good cleaning power. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan
Get it from Amazon for $12.14 (also available in a pack of two).
10. A super-lightweight stick vacuum you can quickly whip out when your friends tell you they need a place to crash at the very last minute. It has swivel steering so you can easily maneuver around furniture and an extra-large dust cup so you can vacuum the whole room in one go.
Promising review: "Great little vacuum! Needed a small little vacuum to clean my studio apartment and this did the job! Once you turn it on you will be surprised about the suction this little guy has! Cord was plenty long enough and the accessories worked perfectly." —Jonathan G.
Get it from Amazon for $30.
11. Or! A splurge-worthy and incredibly lightweight cordless Dyson vacuum — because the last thing you want to do when you're in a hurry is fumble around with a tangled vacuum cord. You can just grab this and get to cleaning instantly!
I hate vacuuming so much. Honestly any form of cleaning takes every inch of my willpower, but fumbling with a messy cord and a heavy vacuum is the last thing I want to do during my free time. I recently got my hands on the new Dyson Micro 1.5kg — and it opened my eyes to the truly fabulous world of cordless cleaning. It is SO ridiculously easy to pull this off of the wall (it's seriously featherweight) and take it from room to room to do some quick spot cleaning. It also comes with a few handy attachments to turn into a handheld mini vacuum (amazing for countertop messes!) and a motorized upholstery attachment (amazing for couches and mattresses!), so I've basically been reaching for this for every little cleaning task in my apartment.
I've become an almost daily vacuum user in the two months I've had this — I don't even know who I am anymore. All I know is I don't think I'll ever be able to return to a bulky corded vacuum again.
Get it from Dyson for $399.99.
12. A set of six over-the-door shelves perfect for quickly storing random accessories that are currently scattered all over your room — because if you can't actually clean your mess, you can at least conceal it! Actually, you might want one of these for every door in your home.
Promising review: "I am so happy I found this little gem of a product. I got one for myself and one for a friend who I was helping get organized. The little pockets are great and hold more than you think they will. I love that the front of the pockets is a clear view so you can see everything that is in the pocket. The product is very sturdy and really super easy to put together and hang up on the doors." —MM1986
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in seven colors).
13. A giant lint roller on a stick, which will quickly become any pet owner's new best friend. The handle makes it possible to reach under furniture without bending down — though you'll probably be grossed out by all the hair it picks up.
Promising review: "These work great for pet hair on beds, furniture, pet beds, dog kennels, area rugs, cars, pretty much anything you can think of! My black Lab sleeps in my bed that has a white quilt comforter and this makes it super easy to just roll across every morning when making the bed. The sheets are easy to tear off and don’t unravel when rolling." —Ashley D.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99.
14. Or a pet hair remover that will quickly pick up each and every stray hair your fur baby leaves in its wake with just a few swipes. It's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory.
Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." —Ian K.
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
15. Or! A pet hair vacuum if you need a little extra power to lift everything off your dog's favorite spot on the couch.
The hand vac has a 16-foot power cord and comes with two nozzles for cleaning upholstery, carpeting, and the inside of your car.
Promising review: "Holy crap! Are you skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online? ME TOO! But I have four cats and a golden retriever, so I was getting desperate! A picture is worth a thousand words — check mine out! The 'before' picture was taken of my dog's bed AFTER it went through the washer and dryer. Look at all of that left-behind hair! The 'after' picture was taken after only THREE MINUTES spent vacuuming her bed. I. Am. SOLD!" —Luka Chan
Get it from Amazon for $36.99.
16. A grout ink pen that will take the space between your tiles from grimy to shiny in a few simple swipes. It's like a more productive version of an adult coloring book!
This won't clean your grout but it'll make it look brand new.
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. Very happy with this product!" —Jenelle
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes).
17. A tub of glass-cleaning wipes so you can give your windows and mirrors a quick wipe down without fumbling around with a giant spray bottle and a bunch of paper towels. If you have dried toothpaste stains all over your bathroom mirror — it's really time to add this to your cart.
You'll also receive a microfiber cloth to use if you're looking for an even more streak-free shine.
Promising review: "These wipes work very well! Even came with a nice soft cloth! What! Yes! I was surprised too! I’ve been using these to clean off all the doggie nose snot smudges from my car windows and my dog’s 'lookout' windows where she protects our home from squirrels. I highly recommend this product. Works very well and they are very good quality! It’s nice to see clearly out my windows again." —Nancy Domingo
Get a bottle of 30 from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in a pack of 60).
18. A pack of stainless steel wipes to help maintain that streak-free shine in between deep cleanings. It'll basically turn your oven door into a shiny mirror and have your guests thinking you dropped some major cash for brand new appliances.
Promising review: "Just moved into a rental and the stainless-steel fridge, oven, and dishwasher were covered with smudges and fingerprints. Couldn’t get them off with just water or glass cleaner or Formula 409. But these wipes worked immediately and easily. Soooo happy to have my kitchen appliances sparkle, be clean, and look new. So rarely things work as advertised but this product is true blue!" —Darlene
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.28.
19. 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

Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $24.95 (available in three scents).
20. A Swiffer-style cleaner specifically designed for your baseboards, because honestly, when is the last time you actually cleaned them?
Promising review: "Best thing ever. I was close to hiring a maid just to clean my baseboards. Twice a year, I usually fill up a bowl with soap and water and crawl around my house on my knees. I sprayed with my fave cleaner, put on music, and walked around my house. No hard scrubbing. Incredible." —Sarah Wallace
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
21. A uniquely designed angled broom that'll make you wonder how you've been living with the old-school version for so long. The dust pan is almost even more exciting: When you step on the back, it creates a seal to the floor so it won't slide all over the place. What a time to be alive.
Promising review: "Love this! I have cats and the fur gets all over and makes cleaning with a broom a disgusting mess. With the built-in combs on the dustpan it's so easy to clean the broom. The dustpan gets flush to the floor so every bit of dirt gets in the pan. The telescoping broom handle allows me to adjust the broom to my height. The mini version is perfect for countertops. I would definitely buy this again and recommend it to others." —Barbara S.
Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors).
22. A pack of bleach-free disinfecting wipes so you can give your sink and toilet a quick wipe down when there's no time for legit scrubbing. These are truly every lazy cleaner's best friend.
Promising review: "I love love these wipes. I love the clean scent they have, I love how sturdy they are, and every wipe is moistened. I can do almost an entire kitchen (large kitchen) with one wipe. These are a must-have and I love the packaging; they are more convenient than the standard 'tub' of wipes." —Nicolletta
Get a three-pack of 75-count pouches from Amazon for $11.97+.
23. 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: "It’s ridiculous how excited I am by this! We have a two-story foyer, and I’ve been noticing cobwebs on the second-story windows lately. There’s no way I’m dragging a ladder out to take care of that, but I hate looking at them, too. When I opened the duster, I wasn’t certain it would extend far enough. I was wrong! The duster telescopes and looks like it’s going to only extend a couple of sections, but it just keeps going and going! I was able to dust all of my second-story windowsills in less than five minutes." —BizCrank
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A pair of fluffy slippers with microfiber mops on the soles so you can clean your floors while tackling all your other chores at the same time. No one will know you haven't touched your mop in weeks.
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 $12.99 (available in four sizes and 17 styles).
25. A three-pronged duster to reach in between your blinds, because they are probably way dirtier than you think 😬.
The duster comes with five microfiber sleeves so you can take care of all your windows at once before giving the sleeves a good wash.
Promising review: "A super time saver. It legitimately used to take us hours to clean all the blinds. We can now do all the faux-wood Venetian blinds in the house in about one hour. It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." —R.D.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two colors).
26. A washable and reusable alternative to disposable Swiffer Wet Jet pads that aren't just better for the environment, they're also way cuter. Just look at those prints! You'll want these on hand when there's simply not enough time to mess around with a traditional mop.
Promising review: "These worked so well on my hardwood and vinyl flooring. Such a great way to save money and reduce waste!" —Emily Bowling
Citrus Designs is a Texas-based small business on Etsy specializing in handmade home essentials.
Get it from Citrus Designs on Etsy for $9.99.
27. A granite and stone cleaner — not only will it have your countertops looking ready for the pages of Architectural Digest, but it also kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in just a few swipes. It's basically a must-have for any last-minute dinner parties.
28. A tub of magical heavy-duty cleaning wipes so you can remove everything from grease to ink stains with zero water required. It's also formulated with aloe and vitamin E so it's gentle on your skin.
These wipes are nonabrasive so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors.
Promising review: "I have a small kitchen, and everything tends to get an oily, greasy film on it very quickly. I don't have a tile backsplash or a range hood, and my fridge is right next to my stove, so the paint on the wall and the textured fridge get pretty disgusting. The tiniest little oil splatter seems to cover my whole kitchen. When these wipes arrived yesterday, I attacked my kitchen with them. They worked amazingly well! I didn't realize how much grease was really sticking to everything until I saw how disgusting the wipes were getting. Luckily, they're huge, so I was able to cover a lot before a needed a new one. I have very sensitive skin, and these didn't dry my hands out at all. I also get severe migraines, which are easily triggered by chemical smells, and these have a nice, lemony scent that didn't trigger me at all. 10 stars!" —Michele West
Get a 90-pack from Amazon for $13.98 (available in two sizes and multipacks).
29. A broom for pet and human hair so you can rake up everything that your vacuum can't reach. You'll be shook when you see all the hair and dust that's hiding out in your area rugs.
Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor, where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —JT
Get it from Amazon for $12.44.
30. 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...or you can just clean your oven door to create the illusion that it's fully clean.
Promising review: "Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface), and the rings came right off! These are those 'oh, crap, the pot boiled over' rings that I ignored that lead to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great." —Jessie Bono
Cleaning Studio is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in cleaning products.
Get it from Cleaning Studio on Etsy for $17.99+ (available in a plastic or glass jar).
31. A rust stain–removing powder for when you want to get rid of rust stains but don't have time to put in any elbow grease. Simply apply it, wait a few minutes for the rust to dissolve, and then lightly wipe it away.
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —Toni Huitt
Get it from Amazon for $10.77+ (available in three sizes and a four-pack).
32. And a genius brush and squeegee combo so you can quickly just swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use.
Promising review: "LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Saves me so many paper towels, easily washed in the dishwasher, and the small size saves space! Will always have one of these on hand for sure!" —Prime Time Review
Get it from Amazon for $14.78.
