1. ~Power through~ scrubbing by attaching a sponge to a drill. It'll do all the hard work while conquering tough stains — you just point and press.
2. Use a pumice stone to finally overcome water, calcium, and lime stains (you know, that gross residue on your toilet).
3. Ditch snaking clogged drains and get a TubShroom. It neatly catches hair and is **super** easy to clean (finally making this a painless process).
4. Save your floor from itself with a seriously effective carpet cleaner solution. It goes in your vacuum so you can do a thorough washing in just one easy step.
5. Sparkle the heck out of stainless steel surfaces with a polishing spray and microfiber cloth set. Fingerprints begone!
6. Throw just about everything in the dishwasher. Really. Window screens, refrigerator shelves, butt plugs...it's all fair game.
7. Swipe away sticky residue easily with just a squirt of GooGone. This stuff is literally magic: It works on carpets, windows, tables, you name it.
8. Avoid throwing your back out by turning to a CleanReach. It extends to scrub away grime in tricky corners that normally require kneeling or stretching.
9. De-shed your beloved pets with a grooming brush to avoid a fur-ridden couch and carpet at the same time.
10. Create your own potty pods and then just flush 'em. Presto shiny toilet (and saved money)!
11. Tackle every crumb with a lightweight handheld vacuum that'll be a lot faster than trying to sweep up the mess (or dust).
12. Get rid of splatters (I don't care if it "was your roommate") by wiping literally just mineral oil onto your stovetop. Oil + oil = no more oil. #Science.
13. Dance away the stress by slapping on duster slippers — wear them while you do the rest of your chores and voilà, you can skip sweeping.
14. Kill mold and mildew without having to fork over cash to a handyman. A little Tilex goes a long, long way.
15. Avoid scrubbing your oven for hours and simply heat ammonia inside of it to loosen up old grime. Ammonia > ~elbow grease~.
16. Remember to cover of all your nooks and crannies (window tracks, vents, sliding doors, etc.) with a handy little brush that'll sweep away loose dirt.
17. Soak a magic erasing sponge in baking soda, borax, and hot water so you can transform disasters (like marks on the wall) back to their original squeaky clean state.
18. Invest in a heavy-duty vacuum, because you can either splurge on something that'll maintain what you have, or resort to buying new carpets every time you spill (which for some of us is A LOT).
19. Release some *steam* with a microwave cleaner who happens to look like a mother yelling at your for waiting so long.
20. Sweep up pet hair or spills (yep) by using a Squeegee broom so you don't have to live in a big fur ball.
21. Slide a pillowcase over fan blades so you can dust without sneezing 1,000 times.
22. Make sure you don't forget about the very thing that washes your dishes: a quick dishwasher disinfectant removes lime build-up, AND disinfects against E. Coli and salmonella.
23. Unclog garbage disposals by pouring some foaming cleaner down the drain — farewell, gross banana peels.
24. Rely on a durable brush set to reach tight spaces and clear every crevice and inch of grout down to the last crumb.
25. Take care of blinds without accidentally tearing them all down. A microfiber window duster is much more precise than a tissue.
26. Laugh in the face of horrible stains while pouring on no-nonsense OxiClean. YOU DO NOT CONTROL ME, LIPSTICK BLOTCH.
27. Master the art of removing hard marks on dishes with a Scrub Daddy — it has tougher materials than a typical sponge that merely ~scratches the surface~.
