1. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner for removing (and preventing) the streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints keeping your appliances from living up to the "stainless" in stainless steel.
Therapy Clean is a family-owned small business creating plant-based cleaning solutions (that just so happens to also smell amazing!) from their very own factory in New Hampshire.
It also comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth!
Promising review: "We got this product because, while stainless steel appliances look so nice when you first get them, as soon as you start using them, you get fingerprints galore. All of the 'home remedy' tricks we tried were annoying or so labor-intensive as to be overly frustrating, so this product has been wonderful. It takes only a few minutes to clean all the appliances and make them look brand-new again — great for when company comes over, and you want to pretend like you always live in a magazine spread for a home rather than the comfortable way you normally do :-)" —Anton Stocker
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes).
2. A reusable pumice stone to quickly remove stains from rust, lime, or calcium build-up and have your toilets, sinks, and tubs looking like new — no dingy rings in sight.
Promising review: "I have very hard water that leaves buildup and nasty stains. It’s embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly, the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn’t break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple of years, at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" —Stephanie Ray
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in a two-pack).
3. A streak-free screen cleaner kit that'll erase any trace of the smudges your toddler made trying to make contact with Ms. Rachel through the screen.
Screen Mom is a a small business creating gentle, streak-free cleaning solutions for all your screens that are odorless and free of abrasive chemicals.

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. Then, 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.
4. A famous Little Green upholstery cleaner if you want a professional-level clean on your own time. Skip the scheduling woes and get straight to being shocked and awed by this machine's ability to effortlessly suck up messes and restore furniture, carpets, and even car interiors to their former glory.
Promising review: "This machine is truly a game changer, especially for anyone who loves velvet and has pets. My dining room chairs have never been cleaner! Anytime there is a spill on the couch, I leap out of my chair with excitement to use my beloved new cleaning toy! Cat or dog vomit or mark something? No match for the Bissell Little Green. I would recommend it as an essential part of any homeowner's cleaning kit." —Charlotte Bennett
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
5. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner so you can not only clean but prevent soap scum buildup with minimal effort. Once a week, simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse, and — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.
Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues, so there was a buildup of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach, and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe, but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use, it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes).
6. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because (to my shock and horror) you have to clean the thing that cleans your dishes, and these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom and dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on a light wash cycle, and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It was thoroughly cleaned, and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super, and after my positive experience, I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.95.
7. Plus, a pack of washing machine tablets for complete confidence that the hand-me-down washer that cleans your clothes is actually clean — with no scrubbing required! Just pop a tablet inside your empty washer and run through a cycle like normal for a shiny, deodorized drum.
Promising review: "I never bother to go back and write reviews, but I had to do so for this product. My washing machine was funky and that's the nicest description I can come up with. I popped one of these tablets in and set the wash to hot as directed. When it was done, like other reviewers, two different earrings that I'd been missing magically appeared in the washer. It was as though they had been previously stuck somewhere and freed during the cleaning. I ran the washer again just because the tablet wasn't fully dissolved after the first wash. Once done, the inside of my washer was sparkling and has not smelled funny since. This product is seriously amazing." —A. Forsythe
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $6.95.
8. A Baseboard Buddy with an extendable handle to save your knees, back, and shoulders from the pain of crouched-over cleaning. This utilizes a contoured head that conforms to the shape of baseboards and door moldings with reusable cleaning pads that trap and lock dirt with a simple swipe.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
9. Plus, a long-handled wall and tile scrubber so you can tackle shower tiles, walls, and ceilings without fetching the ladder or breaking your back.
10. A beloved tub of pink cleaning paste that'll perform small cleaning miracles on virtually any surface in your home without endless, abrasive scrubbing. Try it out on those "forever" stains other cleaners couldn't handle.
Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do with this product! Literally, use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need so LITTLE of this product that it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
11. A honey leather cleaner if you've basically never cleaned your leather for fear of doing more harm than good. This bestselling formula removes oil, dirt, and other stains from any leather (faux leather included) without harsh chemicals or strong odors.
Remember to mix this concentrate with water before using it!
Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes).
12. An all-natural oven scrub so you can watch the burnt-on splatters from dinners past vanish before your eyes with zero wait time required or toxic fumes.
Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut-based Etsy shop that specializes in natural and eco-friendly cleaning products.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! It works fast with pretty minimal elbow grease. The stainless-steel sponge that comes with it makes it easier. And it smells great!" —Melissa C.
Get it from Amazon or Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents or in a glass jar).
13. And a nonscratch cooktop cleaning kit because you don't trust those mystery stains on your ceramic cooktop, and this kit has everything you need to take it from always vaguely greasy to ~glowing~.
The full kit contains a 10-ounce bottle of the cooktop cleaning solution, three cleaning pads, a grip pad tool, and a scraper.
Promising review: "Cerama Bryte was the brand my grandmother recommended using, and grandmas are always right! The extra scrape-y tool is a lifesaver for tough splatters. The cleaners and scrubbers themselves work wonderfully. After using this, our stove looks sparkling like new again!" —britt
Get it from Amazon for $16.48.
14. A set of brush scrubber drill attachments that'll eliminate caked-on soap grime with a fraction of the usually required elbow grease. Charge up your standard electric drill, attach the right brush head for the job, and let the modern luxury of motorized rotation cut through grime quicker than your sad sponge ever could.
Drillbrush is a small business founded by a car wash owner, Anthony LaPolla, who had carpal tunnel and needed a way to clean rims without the strain of hand scrubbing. Tony started selling the design in 2007 and has since expanded the product line to include varying stiffnesses to handle all sorts of cleaning tasks.
The set includes three brush head attachments: a flat 2-inch detail brush, a flat 4-inch brush for large surfaces, and a rounded brush for corners.
Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes, my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces, and the cone brush hits the hard-to-reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in several brush stiffnesses).
15. A fast-drying grout paint pen for helping you cover up any stains in your tile cracks that just won't budge. Think of it like one of those adult coloring books — fill in the lines and bask in your ~artistic~ sensibilities.
Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well, are super easy to use, and cover the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house. The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border, but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep small holes or grooves that are in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole, rub it in with your finger, and wipe off the rest. I have very light beige tile, and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very white tile. This beige will blend well with white as well. Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3-by-20-foot area, no problem." —NatJH
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and in additional colors).
16. A pack of biodegradable foaming drain-cleaning pouches to effortlessly take care of all the out-of-sight grime clogging (and stinking) up your garbage disposal.
Promising review: "My disposal developed a bad odor, and all the usual remedies failed to eliminate it. I bought the Glisten disposal cleaner without expecting it to work. It worked exactly as shown in the video, and the bad odor disappeared after one application. I intend to use it once every two weeks in the future. I am very pleased to have found this product. I was on the verge of replacing the disposal, which was otherwise working fine." —Errol Levine
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.61.
17. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner that'll lift the most terrifying grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and watch your stains (and your worries) wash down the drain.
Promising review: "We moved into a new apartment, and the mold was out of control. It was disgusting. We tried so many products to get it out until we found this one and decided to try it as we didn’t have anything to lose. I’m so happy we bought this! This is basically concentrated Clorox as a gel, so it’s so much easier to apply than the liquid and it kind of stays in place. You just have to apply it, wait a few hours, and remove it (no scrubbing required). Just make sure your shower is dry when you apply it, and you’ll be good to go. Definitely worth buying if you have the same problem and nothing has worked." —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator if you're going to war against lingering stinks that just won't go away. This pet-safe formula was designed for use in boarding kennels and feedlots, so you can rest assured that the one corner your cat likes to pee in won't be too big of a job.
Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.
Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." —clayton s tonkin
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes).
19. A microfiber window blind cleaner with three blades so you can clean the tops and bottoms of two blinds at once. It's effective and efficient — two of my favorite "E" words.
This set includes five microfiber dusters and a tiered plastic base.
Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt
Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue and green).
20. A set of microfiber cloths because why bother cleaning if the glass is just going to look foggy anyway? These cleaning cloths will make sure your hard work doesn't go to waste with a 100% lint- and streak-free finish.
Microfiber Wholesale is a family-owned small biz that started in 1946. Since then, the brand has evolved into an e-commerce business that creates and distributes high-quality cleaning products.
They're great for windows or any glassware, too!
Promising review: "I couldn't get my windows clean using cleaning solution, newsprint, and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass, etc. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. They are truly, truly amazing." —Xena the Warrior Mama
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.98.
21. A length-adjustable pet hair broom with rubber bristles for wrangling all the fur trapped in your carpet that your vacuum couldn't handle. If that's not enough to have you reaching for this broom constantly, there's also a built-in squeegee for corralling spilled liquids and cleaning glass.
Promising review: "I have two corgis. Anyone who has ever been around a corgi knows they shed a ridiculous amount. This tool is literally the best thing ever. I use it before I vacuum or mop, and it’s honestly disgusting how much stuff/corgi hair it gets up off my hardwood floors or carpet. WAY better than a normal broom. Lightweight and durable. Easy to store and clean. Does not leave any marks on my flooring. Cannot recommend this enough!!" —Kindle Customer

22. A simple-to-use drain clog remover to help you handle the wet, hairy monster living in your pipes without calling up your plumber. Barf bag not included.
Promising review: "OMG!! I'm just speechless. The tub drain was a bit slow so, I decided to try this thing without much expectation. Stuck the plastic all the way down, moved the thing a little, and pulled it out. And I was so shocked at how much hair came out. It's probably all the hair that went down the drain over the 7 years...literally, you could make a wig out of it! Surprised I am not bald! So worth the money!!! Definitely recommend to everyone." —Kelly
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in orange and green).
23. An extra-long under-appliance duster that'll make routinely cleaning under your appliances a reality that doesn't involve waiting for a small army to come help you move the fridge.
Promising review: "I use this under all my appliances and it works great. It fits under my fridge, freezer, range, washer, and dryer, and then I just vacuum it off and done! I also use it on my wooden blinds — just slant them all down and run this over them and poof — clean. Works great!" —CM
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
24. An electric pressure washer because sometimes the only refresh your outdoor space needs is a powerful deep clean to wash all that built-up grime. Oh, did you paint the fence? No!!! You just cleaned it for the first time in forever.
This pressure washer has a powerful 1,800-watt motor, five quick-connect spray tips, a 20-foot hose, and a 40.6-fluid-ounce detergent tank.
Promising review: "This has been one of the best investments we as homeowners have made. This little guy gets the job done; countless things have been cleaned since we bought it three years ago. My favorite is our backyard pavers. The cord may not be long enough for some users, depending on how big the space you are washing is, but for us, it works just fine. Highly recommend!" —BSanchez
Get it from Amazon for $229.99.
25. A hard water stain remover if you're tired of the questionable film making the shower glass look permanently foggy. Side effects might include running into your nearly invisible shower door — it'll be that clean.
It also works on a wide range of surfaces like stainless steel, brass aluminum, hard vinyl, chrome, and more.
Promising review: "Amazing product! This is the absolute first time I have written a review for Amazon and I shop A LOT! I have been looking for something to get the hard water spots off my shower door and this did the trick! I've used it on all my bathroom fixtures and they are sparkling. It makes me want to keep cleaning; it works that well. It's a plus that there are no fumes and it's safe to use without gloves! Product actually smells really good, like toothpaste. I've already told my family about it! Will definitely buy again." —loveshoes!
Get it from Amazon for $17.77+ (available in two sizes).
26. An investment-worthy mattress vacuum so you can sleep soundly, knowing your bed is truly clean. This will suck up dust and dirt from your mattress, potentially eliminate bacteria with a powerful UV light, and has a hot air outlet to rid your bed of dust mites.
Promising review: "So, I bought this originally for my son, who gets really bad allergies to dust. At first we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bedsheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try, and they were right! I couldn't believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa, and it was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while, which means this product works for my family!" —Lisa
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in black or white).

27. An electric power scrubber because you're *serious* about revitalizing that dirty tile grout. This gadget is equipped with an oscillating brush head that scrubs 60 times per SECOND — aka much faster than your human hands could ever.
Bonus — batteries are included! For more details, read my colleague Natalie Brown's full Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber review.
I love this thing and also find it super handy for other tough-to-reach crevices, like around the faucet and drain.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing! It cleans grout and hard water stains with ease! I just cleaned the tile in my kitchen, and look at the difference! I simply heated up a 50/50 solution of vinegar and Dawn, sprayed it on, then let this thing do the scrubbing for me! The whole kitchen took 10 minutes!" —Jc
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
28. A wood polish for conditioning and protecting wood with a combination of beeswax and orange oil, while hiding dings and scratches so you can turn back the clock on worn-out furniture.
Promising review: "This product is a MIRACLE! I can't believe how well it worked. Seriously unbelievable. One application and my coffee table looks great again. EASY to use; nothing special is required. While I was watching TV, I used an old cloth/rag and spread it on. As easy as that. Nothing else worked on my abused coffee table — this stuff did. I HIGHLY recommend this product." —Carol L. Hill
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in four sizes).
29. A dryer vent cleaning kit that attaches to your vacuum to suck lint and other debris (aka major fire hazards) from the narrowest of crevices.
The entire set comes with a plastic hose, an adapter, and a vacuum hose for use with most any vacuum. Plus, a flexible lint brush!
Promising review: "I love this dryer lint extension for the vacuum. I wanted to try a cheaper option first before I spent way more money having someone clean the lint trap deep down. So much lint came out of my dryer, it was wild. I'm very good at cleaning it after using the dryer, but inevitably there's always more that we can't see or reach because it's too deep. It's a great way to keep it clear of lint to increase the efficiency of the dryer, which will save money from electricity and extend the life of the dryer, and prevent possible fires." —Cat L.
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in four colors).
30. A lemon-scented cleaning gel if spending hours wiping out keyboards, air conditioning vents, and car cupholders is not your idea of a good time. Just plop this gooey godsend on whatever needs cleaning and watch as it oh so satisfyingly lifts dirt and dust in a snap.
Promising review: "I purchased this product to clean those little spaces in my car filled with random crumbs from my husband and dog hair, and it works amazing. Picked up everything and didn’t leave a residue. The lemon scent was faint and didn’t overpower the vehicle while I was cleaning it. But this definitely got in all the little nooks and crannies." —Kimberly
Get it from Amazon for $5.98.
31. An all-natural scour paste so you can declutter your cleaning supplies with one seriously effective product that quickly removes questionable films, grime, and grease from a wide range of surfaces — tiles, ovens, baths, oh my!
Humble Suds is a Denver-based Etsy shop creating plant-based cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and come in cute packaging (Bonus!).
Shortly after moving into my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime. 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes).
32. A jetted bathtub cleaner because have you ever thought about the gross grime hiding in your tub's jets? Now that you've been cursed with that thought, you're probably going to want to give your tub a rinse. Just fill it with water, pour the cleaner in, run your jets, and let the "yuck" seep out.
Oh Yuk is a family-owned company based in Minnesota that's been making home cleaning products since 2011.
Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often and always get grossed out if I don’t. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! The first photo (above) is with my tub running with the solution. Then I drained it (second photo) and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up, and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! See for yourself in the last photo! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $17.84+ (available in two sizes).
33. A microfiber EasyWring spin mop with a hands-free wringer for making it easier than ever to actually deep clean your floors. (Be honest. How long has it been?) As if that wasn't tempting enough, this mop is designed to get into tight corners *and* is made with microfiber fabric that is machine washable and able to trap dirt with just plain ole water — no harsh cleaners needed.
Promising review: "The mop is perfect for my 1,000-square-foot apartment. The bucket spinning feature prevents the mop from being too wet when you use it, so the floors dry fast. The mop collapses down super small, so storage is easy, and the machine washable feature is perfect. The only bump is that if you aren't pushing down on the mop hard enough when dragging it around, it will sort of roll over itself, but it's a simple problem to fix." —Michael Schnese
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
34. A scrub-free mold and mildew stain remover to take care of your nastiest cleaning challenges in seconds — both inside and outside your house. Just spray the ready-made formula and watch stubborn stains and odors ~disappear~ right before your eyes.
RMR Brands is a small business that launched in 2013 creating powerful cleaning solutions for your toughest messes.
Promising review: "I used this product on my vinyl siding on my house which was covered with green mildew. Within 15 seconds (as advertised) the mildew was disappearing literally before my eyes. I rinsed the siding off with water and my house looks like the siding was brand-new. THIS PRODUCT REALLY WORKS! Note: wear clothing that you can dispose of afterward, it will take the color out of fabric quickly if you get it on your clothing." —Ron
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).
35. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that, when filled with vinegar and water and popped in the microwave, will get so mad she'll have to blow off some steam and get your microwave squeaky clean in the process.
Promising review: "My daughter cooked ramen noodles for three minutes without any water. Needless to say, it was burnt and almost caught fire. I 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. I got it today and used it. I am shocked it actually pulled most of the odor out that’s trapped in the upper vent. This $10 item saved me $200 to $400." —Angela D.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two).
36. A scratch-free scraper tool because no matter how hard you try, your standard cleaning rag just can't get into those grime- and rust-caked cracks and crevices.
You can use this to remove candle wax from tables, dried food from countertops, adhesive stickers on new products, soap buildup in bathrooms, etc.!
Promising review: "The perfect handy tool for getting into tight places. It's firm enough for multiple uses but it doesn't scratch or mar surfaces. I should have gotten the five-pack; I have so many uses for these things. I think the best use yet was cleaning the sliding-door track. I finally could get into the corners to get the grunge out. A great invention." —Miss Picky
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.99.
37. And for everything else, a jumbo pack of magic cleaning pads reviewers have likened to Magic Erasers with an extra thick design that's even more durable for long scrub sessions.
Promising reviews: "I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny, and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies." —Heather C
