34 Things That'll Help Lazy People Be Way Cleaner In 2019

Easier ways to get rid of trash and dirt in your life (in the traditional sense).

Hey! While we try to keep our posts updated as much as we can, this post is actually from 2018, so we can't guarantee that the pricing and/or availability of the products featured are accurate. For our most up-to-date recommendations, check out the 2019 version of this post!

1. Water bottle-cleaning tablets to make sure everyone's go-to container actually gets cleaned. (Cleaning water bottles is hard!)

2. And if you really wanna get in there: bottle brushes — they'll be a blessing for the laziest of dishwashers.

3. An ultrasonic jewelry cleaner to scrub away dirt and debris from a cloudy wedding band or smudged glasses with *just* the power of water while you're doing more important things like standing at your kitchen sink eating a bag of chips.

4. A jetted tub cleaner that'll make you gag with delight once you run it through your system and all the pipe filth emerges like some Ghostbusters shit.

5. Foaming garbage disposer tablets to bring up all the gunk so you don't have to. It's gonna get GROSS.

6. And washing machine-cleaning tablets so you won't have to rewash a load because of cleaning product buildup.

7. A holy grail soft cleanser to help you right all the gray or rusty wrongs around your home with a shockingly small amount of effort. Double win!

8. A Scrub Daddy sponge you might recognize from Shark Tank and then fall in love with because it can go from gentle cleansing in warm water to serious scrubbing power in cool water.

9. And Dawn so you can *gently* de-grime all your hand-wash dishes in baby ducks' fave bubble bath. Yep, even if you misplaced your dishwashing gloves.

10. An affordable hand vac that'll make cleaning up discarded fluff from your furniture NBD. Seriously, walking around like an animal fur hedgehog out of laziness is no way to live.

11. And a rubber squeegee broom (with a telescoping pole) to get DEEP down into the pile of your carpet to unearth pet fur.

12. A drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring.

13. A one-handed paper towel holder — it could make cleaning up spills way less daunting. It's kinda like a magic trick?!

14. A robotic vacuum that'll hook up to Alexa for voice control. You may turn into a controlling but incredibly clean monster. But there are worse things!

15. Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover that'll work its magic on gross grout stains while you kick back and catch up on your stories.

16. A bidet toilet attachment to help you cut down on your toilet paper budget after awhile while getting you squeaky clean.

17. A silicone sink strainer that can make ridding it of tiny food particles easy as pie so you aren't awkwardly standing over your trash can raking them out of your OG metal strainer like a masked killer in a movie.

18. Or a TubShroom that people (including this writer) are obsessed with and will steal your heart after snaking your drain becomes a thing of the past!

19. A legit stain remover to help remove those mud stains from your kid's shirt without harmful scrubbing.

20. Or an all-natural stain remover you'll feel OK about using in case you're trying to cut harsh chemicals out of your cleaning routine but still don't want to use elbow grease.

21. A steaming microwave cleaner for harnessing the power of anger to loosen up crud and dirt inside your microwave for wipeable messes.

22. Stove counter gap covers to keep pesky crumbs within sight instead of down between your cabinets and appliances. Woof.

23. Clorox Wipes — it'll be so easy to use that you may even get excited about squeezing in some cleaning seshes during commercial breaks.

24. A commercial-grade cleaner for getting at soap scum and grime on notoriously hard-to-clean shower doors.

25. Non-stick oven liners to clean up spills without *actually* having to clean your oven.

26. And stove burner covers that'll do the same for you up top. And you can even run them through the dishwasher!

27. Toilet cleaner with goose necks for minimal-effort reaching and serious bowl-whitening power because your loved ones DO notice when your toilet is filthy.

28. Goo Gone — it can make all sorts of sticky messes you've resigned to living with disappear — including that old magnet that fused with your rental apartment's fridge. (Not speaking from experience AT ALL here.)

29. A over-the-door laundry hamper to get those discarded PJs and undies off the bathroom floor.

30. And a foldable double hamper with removable liners that'll help you sort lights from darks from the get-go.

31. A self-cleaning litter box that also happens to look like a toilet but TBH you can live with that because it'll take so little upkeep on your part.

32. Odor-blocking trash bags to buy another day here or there before you take out the trash. As one lazy person to another, I get it.

33. And an odor-minimizing diaper pail so diaper wafts won't assault your nostrils during changing time — or any other time.

34. Finally, some good ole' Magic Erasers that'll handle most of the elbow grease when you *do* have to scrub at a variety of stains.

This is for all the people who'd rather do this than clean:
