1. A bleach-free Wet & Forget shower cleaner for not only cleaning but preventing soap scum buildup. Once a week simply give your shower a spray, let it sit overnight, rinse off the next day, and then — BOOM — you're done and didn't even break a sweat.
2. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that'll get rid of (and prevent) the streaks, smudges, and grubby fingerprints that are making your appliances look not as Architectural Digest-worthy as you'd hoped.
3. A reusable pumice stone to quickly take care of those unsightly rings that you've been scrubbing at in vain since forever.
4. A patented pet hair remover if you're tired of dragging out the vacuum every time your pet touches literally anything. This lightweight roller uses bristles, not sticky tape, to quickly and easily catch lint, meaning you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.
5. These reusable Swiffer dusters so you can have all the cleaning convenience of the disposable versions while helping the environment and saving a bit of extra cash at the same time.
6. A pack of cleaning K-Cups because the inside of your Keurig is likely coated with residue from old brews. Now you can give your machine regular deep cleans in the same amount of time it takes to make a cup o' joe. Side effects may include better-tasting coffee (important when guests are coming over).
7. A TikTok-famous pink cleaning paste for tackling everything from burnt-on food to scuff marks without endless, abrasive scrubbing that you obviously don't have time for this holiday season.
8. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner that'll help lift those daunting grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and wipe it off to reveal the pearly white grout you never thought you'd see again.
9. 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.
10. A set of reusable Wad-Free tools if you're tired of laundry day getting derailed by tangled bedsheets. You've got loads of guest linens to wash, and these help maintain a balanced washer drum, reduce dry times, and prevent wet clothes from getting trapped in the sheets.
11. A cordless vacuum so lightweight and easy to maneuver that you might start to say wild things like "I like vacuuming." Speaking from firsthand experience, once you go cordless, you'll never want to go back.
12. Dishwasher cleaning tablets because you're about to be putting your dishwasher through its paces, and it won't run its best without a proper internal clean. Thankfully, these tablets make doing so as quick and easy as...well...running the dishwasher.
13. A pack of Miracle-Gro plant food spikes for a little help reviving those less-than-happy houseplants without you needing to tend to them constantly. One fertilizer spike continuously feeds plants with nutrients they need to thrive for up to two months!
14. A lightweight carpet shampooer that'll lift years worth of caked-on stains (Fido's contributions included) and cut down on those exorbitant professional carpet-cleaning bills.
15. Plus, a machine cleaner-compatible carpet shampoo solution to return your floors and rugs to their original color without any toxic chemicals.
16. A fast-acting air purifier if the only thing left to clean in your home is the air. Three-stage filtration works to trap pet dander, pollen, odors, and more, so you and your guests can breathe a little easier — literally.
17. A bottle of Goo Gone degreaser spray so you can quickly banish grease and baked-on food from counters, stoves, and cookware without waiting around for hours to see results. This one-step cleaner requires zero presoaking and is gentle enough to use daily.
18. A gel toilet-cleaning stamp because your porcelain throne is about to have a few more patrons running around, and this will help keep it clean between scrub sessions with approximately zero effort. Cleansing gel releases with every flush, leaving behind a fresh scent and preventing stain buildups.
19. A concentrated allergen spray for a quick and easy way to reduce the presence of airborne and surface allergens from pets, mites, and more. This is especially great if you have guests coming from petless homes. Time to spray away those sneezes!
20. A screen cleaner kit that'll erase any trace of the smudges your toddler made trying to make contact with Peppa Pig through the screen.
21. A set of brush scrubber drill attachments to 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.
22. An investment-worthy mattress vacuum if you can't sleep soundly until you know your bed (and your guest bed) is truly clean. This will suck up dust and dirt from your mattress, eliminate bacteria with a powerful UV light, and has a hot air outlet to rid your bed of dust mites.
23. An all-natural scour paste so you can easily cut through tough messes with one multipurpose product that quickly removes questionable films, grime, and grease from a wide range of surfaces — tiles, ovens, baths, oh my!
24. 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.
25. 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.
26. A pair of microfiber mop slippers to pick up dirt and dust all while going about your day in plushy comfort.
27. A nonslip slatted bath mat if your fluffy bath mat is looking (and smelling) a little worse for wear. This one gives your bathroom an instant spa-like feel with an easy-to-clean alternative that's made from renewable bamboo, which naturally repels water.
28. A jet spray robot mop so you can keep your floors sparkling clean without ever having to lift a finger. It's safe to use on all floor types *and* can be used for wet, damp, and dry mopping.
29. 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.
30. A rechargeable electric lighter that's windproof, splash-proof, portable, and just overall very nice to look at, because it's the holidays! And you're about to be lighting a lot more candles.
