1. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your kid-made messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time.
After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.
Promising reviews: "Favorite cleaning product of all time!! This cleaned my walls so well and my kids had colored every inch of my walls. The price is so affordable and the product is strong on stains!" —Marina

I'm so soo soo happy to see my dresser white again!!!!😭😭😭 Thank youuuu!!!!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE LITTLE KIDS IN THE HOUSE!!!!" —Gabriela Portillo Solorio

2. A cacti-inspired bottle brush cleaning set you'll love because it'll look cute on your kitchen counter while also doing a fantastic job in helping you scrub all of the yucky milk residue out of your baby's bottles.
Promising review: "I usually don’t write reviews. But I love, love this. I think it’s so cute. Instead of those normal bottle cleaners that are bright ugly colors. The container that it comes in, it works and does collect the water. Would definitely recommend it, especially as an all-in-one bottle cleaner that looks cute and has a container for the water." —Hinojosas
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
3. And a Boon drying rack with a surprisingly chic design that'll provide you with the perfect spot to dry your little one's bottles and accessories without ruining the entire look of your kitchen.
Former BuzzFeed editor and mother of two Chandni Reddy is a big fan of this drying rack:
"Is it possible for a drying rack to be life changing? Why yes, it is. I caved and bought this grassy patch after my kitchen started to look like an episode of Hoarders. This thing instantly organized my kitchen by creating a dedicated spot for baby stuff. Bottles, pump parts, sippy cups...this bad boy can hold a LOT (at least six bottles and four cups at once) and dries everything quickly. Did I mention it's a heck of a lot more cheerful and stylish than your regular drying rack?"
I *also* have this drying rack! We keep it next to our full-sized drying rack and as my son has gotten older we've also started using it to dry reusable food pouches (and all the pieces that go along with that) as well as his sippy cup and any teethers we've washed.
Promising review: "Newborn twins are a mess. They took over our house within moments of coming through the door. For this type A mama, it was a horrifying side effect of the two most precious things in the world. A friend gave us one lawn at our shower and we promptly hopped on Amazon and bought a second to manage the sheer volume. The lawn and the accessories are a convenient and cute way to keep your bottles and pump parts organized. There is ample space in one for one baby's needs." —Lacey
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).
4. A handheld Dirt Devil vacuum so lightweight you'll be able to clean and dance around your living room to the endless loop of Ms. Rachel songs your kiddo's are watching without fear of tripping over a cord.
Promising review: "This is such a wonderful vacuum! The fact that it is handheld makes it very easy to store and easy to use. We have a 600-square-foot studio with all-wood floors and it doesn't take more than 10 minutes to vacuum the entire apartment. The crevice tool is incredibly useful for nooks and crannies that gather dust, and the attachable nozzle has been great for vacuuming our rug. We have a delicate faux sheepskin rug that really shouldn't be vacuumed using such a powerful tool, but with the nozzle it's much more manageable and doesn't cause too much shedding. The filter is very easy to clean, though fills up pretty quickly, so make sure to clean it more frequently than not! Very happy with this purchase — it has made cleaning the apartment so much easier!" —Sting
Get it from Amazon for $35.99.
5. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner you can use to clean your shower with the least amount of effort ever — seriously, you just leave it for the day then rinse it off and enjoy how sparkly and clean the glass will be! A must-have for parents who simply don't have the time to deep clean the bathroom each day.
Promising review: "Although this won't clean HEAVY build up, once my shower was clean, Wet & Forget does an amazing job maintaining my shower's cleanliness with weekly use. As a single parent, I like things that make life easy. My old cleaning routine was using a sponge and scrub with bleach or soft scrub. After a long duration of procrastination I was looking for something to simplify shower cleaning and got Wet & Forget after reading the reviews to try. First time I used it, I sprayed Wet & Forget on before going to work then rinsed it off when I got home and I wasn't content with all the results yet was impressed at how well it cleaned the chrome which I wipe daily so it doesn't get water spots. I decided to give the shower a good deep cleaning and started using Wet & Forget every Monday and since then, I'm very happy with the results. Personally, I would describe this Wet & Forget as 'a great way to maintain your showers cleanliness thru weekly use.' Bottom line ... you're responsible for the initial cleaning you want to maintain." —My D 1
Get it from Amazon for $19.54.
6. A set of cleaning K-Cups that'll rinse away all the coffee grounds from your past beverages and ensure your next ones taste fresher than ever — you're gonna need 'em now that you have a tiny human to take care of all the time.
Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
7. Affresh cleaning tablets to toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes (and, more importantly, your kiddos botles and cups) nice 'n' clean.
I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine.
Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
8. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets you can use to easily remove any odor-causing residue from inside your machine — you don't want little one's clothes to smell, do ya?
You can use this product on both front-load and top-load washing machines. I ran it through the old washing machine that was left in my new house (beggars can't be choosers!) and it came out nice and clean.
Promising review: "Works great. My washer started smelling like sour clothes. In turn, my clothes were smelling sour as well. I plopped an Affresh Tab in the washer and let it do its magic. After it was done I opened the washer and to my surprise there was no smell at all. This is a six-pack so buy one box for half a year or two boxes, and only have to order once per year. Definitely recommend." —jcski
Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in a six-pack).
9. A pack of Tide To Go pens, because even if you already own one you'd absolutely benefit from stocking up and keeping one in every bag you own — no more worrying about ruining your favorite white top when you're out to dinner or on a coffee run.
Promising review: "I used this on my daughter's doll that couldn't be put in the washer due to having a voice box. She's had this doll for a while, it's had juice applied on it, the dog has stolen it a few times, plus the material just attracts dirt and fuzz balls. Holy crap what a difference! Saved me from having to go buy a new one." —Chery
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $7.35.
10. A portable car vacuum that'll help you battle the seemingly endless amount of crumbs that endlessly make their way in between your seats now that you have a tiny, messy human as your most frequent passenger.
Promising review: "I was a little skeptical at first seeing all the mixed reviews but I wish I had taken a pic of my driver side cause that was the worst of it but there was a lot of buildup from me just not having the time or energy to clean my car but this vacuum is AMAZING! You can see the clear difference between those two photos. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend." —Kayla
Get it from Amazon for $30.99.
11. A scrubber brush to attach to your drill (!!!) and help you clean your tub/shower like you've never cleaned it before but without the arm workout. You won't think twice about if there's any grime lurking in the tub before plopping your toddler directly in it each night.
The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.
Additionally, Drill Brush is a small business based in New York!
Promising review: "I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved.. Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+ year old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit to most recently the bathroom magic erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Ten minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" —Becky Adie
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six strength types).
12. The Clean Ball, a sphere with a cage-like design and a sticky inside that'll collect all the stray crumbs from inside of your diaper bag with literally zero effort on your end. Absolutely magical.
Promising review: "The evidence it works is right there when you pull it out to clean it. It is so covered in crumbs that clearly were in the bottom of my diaper bag and no longer are and it really actually does come clean but stay sticky. Love it. Wish I had it sooner." —Patrick & Camee
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors).
13. A Dyson V15 Detect cordless vacuum, complete with 10 tools and a ton of high-tech features (like a dust-highlighting laser!) you won't even know what to say when you see how incredibly it cleans. You'll *actually* be able to see all of the cookie crumbs and puffs your mini-me not-so-discreetly shuffled under your couch...you're welcome.
I have this incredible device and cannot stop raving about it! This baby is *packed* with features that continue to amaze me each time I take it for a spin. Seriously, it has a built-in laser feature that literally highlights dirt, dust, and debris as you clean! You can read my full review of the latest Dyson vacuum here.
Promising review: "The V15 really is a step up. The hyperdymium motor is exceptional, along with the display that calculates the number of particles picked up and accurately monitors the run time. The new laser slim fluffy cleaner head is awesome. This new head really does reveal microscopic dust as Dyson advertises. It actually works too well. I vacuum one to two times a day because I have many pets. I thought I did a really good job staying ahead of the dust buildup but I found out otherwise. This laser will definitely show you the things you miss. The torque head also does offer the anti-tangle that has worked very well so far. This feature is also offed in the hair screw tool that, I think, is spectacular. A nice feature having pets and my own long hair to contend with." —Veteran Dyson Owner
14. And a robot vacuum and mop combo you can rely on to clean up your disaster zone of a home while you adjust to being a parent.
Promising review: "I am a very dust-sensitive person (allergies) and live in a ~900 square-foot, two-bedroom apartment with a cat that sheds like no tomorrow. I have been using this vacuum several times a week for over a year and every time I run it, I'm amazed at how effective it is. I have replaced 0 parts and have done minimal maintenance other than cleaning the filter and wiping down the sensors.
The best thing about this robot vacuum is that it will clean pretty thoroughly and is almost completely hands off. Unlike cheaper models out there that bounce around randomly and clean through controlled entropy, this model will systematically map out and clean each room. Will it clean as thoroughly as a I can? No. There are some places where it will struggle with but the benefit here is that it's like 80% as effective as I am and I have to do nothing. I just turn it on before I leave the apartment and come back to a clean apartment. No need to spend an hour or two a week manually vacuuming to achieve the same effect." —Alexander
Get it from Amazon for $359.99 (available in two colors).
15. A set of toilet fizzing bombs that'll quite possibly make you excited to clean your potty! All you have to do is drop one or two of these in the bowl, swish them around in the water a bit with a cleaning wand, wait five minutes, scrub, and flush — magical.
Juniperseed Mercantile is a woman-owned small business based in Littleton, Colorado.
Promising review: "This product is amazing! 15 minutes later and my toilet is looking brand new with minimal effort. I would recommend this to everyone!" —shelby rieth
Get a pack of eight from Juniperseed Mercantile on Etsy for $13.
16. An all-purpose cleaner featuring the scents of frankincense and myrrh that are said to be grounding and clearing. Why not bring all the good vibes you can into your home?
Good Vibes is a Black woman-owned small business in Philadelphia that makes an array of plant-based cleaning products. The product itself is very soapy, so be sure to dilute it properly before going to town on all of your surfaces.
Get it it from Good Vibes for $12.50.
17. A flexible cleaning brush that'll pull all of the hard-to-reach pieces of lint out of your dryer. I truly can't think of anything more satisfying, TBH.
Promising review: "Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce the fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." —Winged Wolf
Get it from Amazon for $7.60.
18. A stainless steel cleaner you can count on to help you (temporarily) banish all of those sticky little toddler-sized fingerprints that have somehow made their way across your fridge and dishwasher....
This plant-based cleaner will remove streaks, smudges, and fingerprints from all stainless steel surfaces — sounds very therapeutic to me!
Promising review: "This is by far the best stainless steel cleaner I have ever used. So easy to apply and I wipe it off with a clean microfiber cloth. It lasts months and I have twin toddlers that are always touching my appliances. No finger prints at all. I highly recommend. Completely safe , no chemicals. Great product." —martha
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
19. An enzyme-based spot cleaner that'll have your little one's clothes looking like you just pulled them off the rack in a store.
You can also use it on carpets, bedding, cloth diapers, etc.
Promising review: "I just purchased this. It took stains out of baby clothes and I used it on the fabric on a toddler chair and it looks brand new. I wish I would have taken before and after photos! Love it already! I had read some reviews about it leaking during shipping but I received it with a tight lid in a bag with a spray too lid separate so no leaking!" —Brianne
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven sizes).
20. A microfiber spin mop and bucket with over 116,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, which is kinda wild because it's a MOP. It'll likely become one of your most-used cleaning tools now that summer is coming and your little ones will be tracking in all kinds of dirt, grass, and sand.
My husband asked for this mop for Father's Day last year and has been telling everyone in his life about it ever since. He adores it! It's so easy to use, it's lightweight, and he has no issue squeezing the water out with the spin tool. It's worked wonders on our wood floors!
Promising review: "I never thought a mop could change my life! This mop cuts at least a half hour off my cleaning time and since I can ring it out so well it does a fabulous job on my hardwood floors without worrying about puddles of water which could do damage! The triangular design is great for corners too! I also like how I can toss the head in the washing machine to clean it. I would highly recommend this mop!" —kheiser67
Get it from Amazon for $34.97.
21. A furniture repair kit featuring markers and crayons in a variety of colors you can whip out the second your favorite piece of furniture gets damaged by your kids' wild antics or a chair scrapes into your wood floors.
Promising review: "I really didn’t expect much when I ordered this kit. But the 40-year-old chairs were badly scratched (many pets and kids) and I figured why not try? Wish I’d taken a 'before' photo. I firmly rubbed the burgundy color in. It dried matte, so I washed over the repaired areas with more alcohol on a soft rag. Then gave the leather a gentle buffing. Couldn’t be more pleased — or surprised. The chairs truly have a new life!" —Ann
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
22. A washable rug, so when your mini-me inevitably tracks dirt and mud onto the carpet in the nursery, you'll be able to pop it right into the washing machine.
Ruggable's rugs are honestly a work of art — not just because they look great regardless of what room you put them in, but because they can handle a stain like no other. I have a Mickey Mouse rug (seen above to the left) in my baby's room, but my sister (who has three big dogs) has truly put the quality of their rugs to the test. Within a week of owning one she successfully cleaned blood, poop, and coffee off of it without a remnant of a stain left behind.
Promising review: "I love this rug so much! It’s perfect for kids and pets, and it’s so easy to keep clean. I actually use it where my kids eat and it hasn’t gotten stained at all. 100% would recommend!" —Ashley C
Get it from Ruggable for $99+ (available in 10 sizes and 3 styles).
23. A Baby Brezza Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer, because why not add another helpful cleaning gadget into the mix? This one will automatically sterilize bottles, breast pump parts, and other accessories with natural steam.
As a new mom I’m quickly learning what items are a necessity in my day-to-day, one of them absolutely being the Baby Brezza Sterilizer.
As an infant my baby boy was going through about 12 bottles throughout the day/night, as he was eating about every 2–3 hours, which means I always needed to have the bottles and nipples clean and ready to go. “Back in the day,” as my parents and my in-laws have told me, you’d need to boil every part of the bottle in water on the stove. Who has time for that??? Certainly not me. Thanks to this sterilizer I didn’t have to bother with any of that!
After washing the bottles and nipples (I use Dapple’s lavender bottle soap and a Dr. Browns cleaning brush), I place each piece on the rack inside the sterilizer. Once it’s filled with six bottles, I remove the rack, pour filtered water into the bottom section of the sterilizer, replace the rack, pop its dome back on, and set it to sterilizer and dry for 30 minutes. It’s honestly fantastic and super easy to use. TBH, I’d say this is a must-have for anyone who formula feeds and breastfeeding mamas who also pump/use bottles. Added bonus? You can also use it to sterilize pacifiers and any breast pump parts. It’s a fantastic item for any parent, trust me.
Promising review: "You guys...if you are expecting (or trying to get a gift for someone who is)...GET THIS PUPPY NOW. I ended up getting this after a few sleepless nights and not feeling like my bottles were staying clean while drying on the grass counter mat. This has been a lifesaver. It is so easy to use and works in a hurry. The best part = it dries your bottles too. No more waiting around for them to dry. Every evening I load em' in and they are sterilized and dried within 45 to 60 minutes. What could be better?! Definitely a game changer everyone should have on their list." —MorganS
Get it from Amazon for $109.99.
24. A humidifier tank–cleaning fish you'll cherish as much as Ariel (the Little Mermaid) does her BFF Flounder — it'll kill up to 99% of odor causing bacteria in the tank you've been keeping in your baby's nursery to keep their lil' nostrils moist during nap time (amazing).
Promising review: "These things are AMAZING! I went from having to Clorox my ultrasonic humidifier tank every few days to every month, if that. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to not have to worry about it! I feel like they work quite a bit longer than advertised, but that may depend on water temp, if the water is distilled (this is what we use, as our water is REALLY hard otherwise) vs filtered vs not, etc. Will definitely buy again!" —CindyR
Get it from Amazon for $5.28.
25. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray, which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked-on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan.
I recently tried this stuff for the first time and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful!
Promising review: "This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean. I always have back ups never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." —Carlos G
Get it from Amazon for $16.88 for a bundle.
26. Extra thick magic cleaning pads you can use to tackle a whole slew of messes in your life by just running it under a little water. Sticky substances on your kiddo's toys? Fare thee well. Grime on your stove top? See ya later! These lil' beauties can tackle it all.
Promising review: "I have less of a family, and more of a circus. There's six of us, including the dog. Three children under the age of six. And more grubby hands/fingers than I'd like to think about. I needed an all in one, and, boy, have I found it! Aaaand it's easily half the price of the leading brand! Especially with twins (everything baby related gets purchased twice) we need every penny stretched! It just so happens that we don't have to sacrifice quality, and I really appreciate that." —Mrs. Hawkins
Get a box of 20 from Amazon for $13.95.
27. A nontoxic dusting spray made of water, vinegar, olive oil and essential oils — it smells so good you may be tempted to wear it as perfume.
Pardo Naturals is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business in Covington, Georgia.
Get it from Pardo Naturals for $9 (available in four scents).
28. Grandma's Secret, a spot remover that'll remind you to respect your elderly — it's *that* good. It'll make blood (!!!) pet stains, oil, paint, and other pesky substances vanish into thin air.
29. A handheld Oxo microfiber duster you can run around the house with to remove dust from every table, shelf, and staircase in your home — an essential task for anyone with a kiddo who insists on crawling EVERYWHERE at the speed of light.
I have this duster and it is faaaab! It really does pick up a *ton* of dust from every crevice of my home — I like to use it on our stairs. I typically just shake it outside to remove the excess dust and then either put it away until next time or get right back to dusting.
Promising review: "I truly hate to dust, but also hate a lot of dust around. I saw these dusters featured online and figured I'd give them a try. They are really great. I just dusted in the downstairs floor, including my study and computer area, keyboard, screen, and all. Easy peasy. I haven't washed the covers yet (I have two), but hope that will work as well." —Judy Rae
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
30. And a duster designed specifically to clean blinds that'll make cleaning those pesky window coverings a breeze — buh-bye dust!
The set comes with five microfiber sleeves that can be washed and reused.
Promising review: "Really wasn't sure if this was going to work, I've used something similar many years ago. It works remarkably well! Cleans top and bottom of the blinds, is easy to use with some cleaner. Definitely a game changer, I've already cleaned three sets of blinds since I got these today. Bravo!" —Lisa C. Wear
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
31. A magnificent toilet cleaning gel stamp from Scrubbing Bubbles, so when you finally get around to thoroughly cleaning your bowl it'll do the heavy lifting until the next time you think to yourself "when was the last time I cleaned this thing?"
I have this product and it really does work! It took me a minute to figure out how to apply it, but after reading the enclosed directions it was a cinch! You quite literally stamp it into the inside of the toilet bowl and leave it be. It smells super refreshing for a long time — as if you've cleaned your toilet every time you flush.
Promising review: "Okay I was so confused when I opened this but honestly it’s easy to use and after I completely deep cleaned my bathroom, I tried one of these stamps on my toilet. I was sooo skeptical and was confused how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet
Get a set of six from Amazon for $4.89.
32. An instant carpet spot remover spray, so when your little one flings tomato sauce or a smoothie pouch all over your carpet you can say "no biggie" and actually mean it.
Promising review: "I’ve used this stuff for around six years now. My carpet is old and needs to be replaced, but that costs a lot of money. Only the bathrooms and the kitchen don’t have carpet. Everywhere else, carpet, including where my kids eat. This has cleaned up food, makeup, some paints, markers, grease, dirt... the only thing it didn’t help much with is when my son spilled a bowl filled with red Easter egg dye on the carpet. But it did lighten it a lot so, I call that a win. Because things like paint, nail polish, and a lot of food dye are always going to be difficult. if you have young kids and lots of carpet, I would recommend getting two spray bottles (we keep one upstairs and one downstairs), then buying the gallon sized bottle for refills." —DiannaW
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
33. An automatic cleaning toilet bowl cartridge to pop into the top of your tank — it'll last up to three months and clean with every single flush. Now that's a cleaning product worth testing out.
Promising review: "This works absolutely phenomenally. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clock work to remove mold or something…Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Kohler new low-flush systems…amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts either like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." —CdrW
Get it from Amazon for $10.77 (and you can snag refill cartridges here).
34. A soap dispensing brush that might just make your kids want to help clean the dishes — it looks kinda fun, doesn't it?
Promising review: "I'm loving this little brush. I had purchased another dish brush a while back from the grocery store and the bristles were so stiff that it often splattered soap everywhere. This one isn't like that. The bristles are stiff, but soft enough that they tend to cling to what you're brushing, so they don't cause that splatter effect. I also like that you can open the whole thing up by taking its top off to refill it, giving you plenty of room to pour in the dish soap. The ability to easily remove and replace the brush is another very handy feature. Both are easy to do and it's well made, so they're not likely to come open or undone unexpectedly." —Elliria
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
35. A stain stick you'll consider to be an extra appendage with how often you'll find yourself using it — kids really are *quite* messy,
This coconut-based soap stick will become an integral part of your laundry routine. Use it to pre-treat all kinds of stains — oily smudges, makeup, food, dirt, etc, won't stand a chance. It's developed by Celsious, a Black-owned and woman-owned small business in Brooklyn, New York.
Get it from Celsious for $8.
36. A cleaning spray made just for your car, so the next time you spill your coffee all over yourself or your kid dumps their soda in between the seats, you'll still be covered.
Car Guys' Super Cleaner can be used on upholstery, canvas, leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber.
Promising review: "I have used every product that you can find on the shelves of your local store. When I sprayed the cleaner on the light beige interior of a 25-plus-year-old car, the interior turned to its original color. After years of detailing, I had assumed at this point, the color was set and that's it — not with this stuff. While cleaning it I literally said out loud, 'No way, no way,' because I was in disbelief at how amazing it worked, and the results are in the compliments I receive from friends." —Andrea Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $16.97.
37. Washable microfiber mop pads you can use with your Swiffer WetJet and finally stop spending so much money on disposable options.
One pad can last up to 100 washes and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone.
Promising review: "These are life changing. I used a Rubbermaid spray mop for years that I never really loved and when it broke I got a Swiffer and was using the old Rubbermaid mop cloth pads with it still. They didn't fit the Swiffer great and I decided to get new ones. These scrub so much better and pick up way more dirt than my other mop pad. I have two dogs and their dried water and drool is around the kitchen and I used to have to scrub to get that up each time. Not with these pads!
