1. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray that’ll make you feel like you just got bit by a spider and inherited a super human power to flawlessly clean pots and pans — no scrubbing necessary. 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 $17.50 for a bundle.
2. A ChomChom pet hair roller with a unique patented brush design, so you'll be able to sit down without fear of being covered head-to-toe in your pet's hair. Your black leggings will thank you for finally getting around to putting this tool to the test.
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes adores this product:
"I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
3. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff, which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your 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 review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of band wagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard bristle tooth brush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral build up, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
4. A garbage-disposal foaming cleaner to scrub away the stinky grime that builds up on the blades and in the pipes.
Look at that foam go!
Promising review: "We moved into a townhouse that had a garbage disposal in the kitchen. Never had one growing up and didn't think too much about it until the funky smell started. I researched ways to clean it and came across these. Decided to order a four pack and try them. THEY ARE LIFE CHANGING. Just run some water, toss the packet in, and turn on the disposal. The little packet does all the hard work for you. I order a new set as soon as we start to run low." —lucas broshears
Get it from Amazon for $3.78.
5. 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.
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.
6. 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 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 $8.95.
7. 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 your 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 $11.98 (also available in a six-pack).
8. A set of Scrub Daddy sponges that'll stay firm in cold water (good for stuck-on grime) and soft in warm water for easy-to-clean items — they won't scratch your surfaces and can be popped into the top rack of the dishwasher for cleaning. No wonder why they're permanently smiling.
And if happy-go-lucky isn't your typical vibe, you can check out the Sad Mommy and Daddy sponges instead 😂.
Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, last forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." —Kristi Rosengreen
Get a set of three from Amazon for $9.98.

9. A pumice cleaning stone you can count on to make your toilet actually sparkle like a porcelain throne.
Promising review: "This product has far exceeded my expectations. We have well water and often get water stains even with an advanced water filtration system. I clean the toilets with bleach heavy toilet cleaners at least biweekly. I was always left with a ‘ring’ that I thought just came with well water toilets. Well. This has changed my life, really. I scrubbed one toilet less than ten minutes and it’s basically brand new. No more nasty toilet rings!! Just try it! You don’t have much more than $9 to lose. BTW I never usually leave reviews, but this thing has made me so happy!! I will never be without this product!" —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
10. 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 $8.95.
11. A giant lint roller on a stick you'll find yourself reaching for time and time again — especially before guests arrive. It'll let you remove all the pet hair and lint from your furniture without having to bend and struggle to get to hard-to-reach spots.
Promising review: "These work great for pet hair on beds, furniture, pet beds, dog kennels, area rugs, cars, pretty much anything you can think of! My black lab sleeps in my bed that has a white quilt comforter and this makes it super easy to just roll across every morning when making the bed. The sheets are easy to tear off and don’t unravel when rolling." —Ashley D.
Get it from Amazon for $23.85.
12. A scrubber brush that'll attach to your drill (!!!) and help you clean your tub/shower like you've never cleaned it before but without the arm workout. You'll be singing "I've got the powerrrr" in no time!
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).
13. A stainless steel cleaner you can count on to make your appliances so shiny you won't be able to stop staring at your own reflection in them (spoiler: you look GOOD!).
This plant-based cleaner will remove streaks, smudges, and fingerprints from all stainless steel surfaces — sounds very therapeutic to me! Therapy Clean is a small business.
Promising review: "This stuff changed my life. I have four sticky boys that were always leaving marks on my appliances and would use Weiman's stainless steel cleaner which was a JOKE compared to this miracle of a product! Now, cleaning my appliances is a joy! I wake up each morning eager to clean my stainless steel." —martha
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
14. A jetted-tub cleaner, so you'll never find yourself soaking in filth while trying to catch up on your me-time.
I personally can vouch for how amazing this product is. I watched with my own eyes as it magically cleared out the gross-ness from my previous apartment's jetted tub's pipes. It's pretty disgusting and incredible.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I’ve cleaned my jets recently with laundry detergent (something I saw to do on Pinterest) but it was no match to this life changing cleaner!! Absolutely fabulous. Will be purchasing more and adding it to my cleaning routine! THANK YOU!!" —Stephie B
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
15. A bottle of Goo Gone, because no one should have to use a ton of elbow grease to remove odd substances like oil, toothpaste, and that unknown gunk that's been lingering on your fridge handle for far too long.
People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products!
Promising review: "I have been using Goo Gone since it was first introduced and every year I find new uses for it. I keep a large bottle in the garage for cleaning tools and removing adhesives, and nothing works better. I've only recently started using it as an all-purpose kitchen cleaner, and it has taken over most of my kitchen and bathroom jobs. Newest use — quickly and easily cuts through the soapy residue left behind in the bathroom sink and shower." —24karats
Get it from Amazon for $9.18.
16. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush, for when you want to give your grout an all-inclusive spa treatment and bring it back to its squeaky-clean glory.
Promising review: "The Power Scrubber is life changing. I bought it several weeks ago with the intention of doing a deep clean 'sometime soon.' After an overflowing toilet incident, I had to make sure it got done right away. MY GROUT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANER. I used some Comet and spray cleaner to get the job done, but this made short work for what typically requires 'a lot of elbow grease' and a spent toothbrush. With this tool, you really know you're getting in there and it's clean. I can't recommend this enough — I've already mentioned it to a neighbor, and a few friends, including one fanatical cleaner. We all agreed, it's such a necessary, perfect product." —Jojo
Get it from Amazon $17.38.

17. An Oxo deep-clean brush set complete with a larger toothbrush-like brush to help you revive areas like grout and shower door tracks *and* smaller detail brush with a wiper blade that'll help you scrub your sink drain with ease.
Promising review: "I ordered these when it popped up in my recommended section on a whim. I thought I could use them somewhere but didn’t have any particular place at the time. I’m an impulse buyer. Anyway, IF YOU HAVEN'T ORDERED THESE YET, DO IT. I have used them on anything and everything since. I’m a clean freak. My life is changed. Never going back." —T

18. A 100% natural oven scrub you can rely on to remove any grease or leftover sauces from inside your most-used appliance. You're welcome.
Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools.
Promising review: "LOVE IT! Oven door is a constant struggle. I hate chemical cleaners, so I thought I would try this. I bought the Lift scent and the unscented. The Lift smells fantastic, natural, not chemically, and the Clear truly is unscented. Works beautifully! I think the combo of grit in the scrub plus the metal scrubbie are magic together. I wore nitrile gloves and the scrubbie did end up poking a hole in them, so keep that in mind if you just got a mani or don’t want rough nails - use thick gloves. It does require elbow grease, because, hello, baked on bits of grease! But was very simple to use. Just smeared it on, added a little H2O to the scrubbie and went to town. Very impressed! I used not even 5% of one jar (for just the very dirty door) so it seems like it will last a while. Way better than BKF and wipes off easily. LOVE IT!!" —aniebauer
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
19. Grandma's Secret, a spot remover that'll remind you to respect those who are older and wiser than you — it's *that* good. It'll make blood (!!!), pet stains, oil, paint, and other pesky substances vanish into thin air.
20. A microfiber spin mop and bucket you'll actually looking forward to using — it'll be so satisfying to spin and squeeze all the water out each and every time. Crank up your go-to cleaning play list and let's doooooo this!
My husband asked for this mop for Father's Day 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 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.
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
22. 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. Sneaker scuffs? Fare thee well. Grime on your stove top? See ya later! These lil' beauties can tackle it all.
Promising review: "My significant other works with machinery and builds cars/ engines for hobby. This stuff right here is AMAZING. Literally nothing else works this way. NOTHING! I suggest this to everyone I know because it slams the competition. Just add water squeeze out excess and you have a heavy artillery cleaning magic to your disposal! Never ceases to amaze me!" —Ouroboros_0_o

23. 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 $6.99.
24. A bottle of mold and mildew remover, so your bathroom's grout can resemble the likes of that fabulous resort you've been eyeing for your next tropical vacation.
There wasn't a lot of ventilation in my apartment bathroom, so during the summer the grout used to get gunky and gross looking from the humidity. I had been battling this specific bathroom grime for weeks and tried a whole array of products to no avail. Finally, I purchased Skylarlife Home Mold and Mildew Remover Gel. The results were outstanding. It’s super simple: put on a pair of gloves and apply the clear gel around your grout. Let it sit for five to six hours (I suggest opening all your windows, it’s got a strong smell) then rinse it off with cold water.
Promising review: "Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products, with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. 1,000% worth the (small) investment." —Nicole D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
25. A squeegee-broom contraption with an extendable handle, in case you've ever had the urge to rake the inevitable fallen hair from your carpet.
What? Like I'm the only one who finds their own hair all over the house?
Promising review: "My dog has fairly short hair but somehow it has become deeply imbedded in every inch of carpet in my house. I was using my hands to scrape up dog hair which you can imagine was very laborious. I just looked up dog hair scraper and found this life changing product. It’s still a bit of work, but I’m hoping there’s less hair to clean now that I’ve scraped the carpet throughout the house. This has made a HUGE difference. Better than vacuuming or sticky rollers. I also got a hand size one to use in corners." —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
26. A set of cleaning brushes you'll love so much you'll want to buy a tool belt for them, wear it around the house, and whip 'em out like you're in one of those old Western films but instead of a dueling partner you're just cleaning all of the crevices in your home.
The set comes with a track-cleaning brush, a tile lines brush, a window blind duster, a 2-in-1 windowsill sweeper, and a hand-held groove gap brush.
Promising review: "These little brushes are exactly what you’re missing. They’re the perfect size to clean all the annoying, hard to get to areas like window tracks, blinds, etc. They make these chores so much quicker to accomplish, so you can get on with your day. Also, the tiny microfiber cover for the blind cleaner is washable. Get these!" —Roseann
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
27. A trio of Bar Keepers Friend products you can count on to help you clean any and every surface of your living space — trust me on this.
My husband and I moved into our first house two years ago — when I tell you I have used some form of Bar Keepers Friend to tackle every crevice of this house please know that I'm not exaggerating. I've used it to revive the floor of our bathroom (see above), the shower, the tub, the entire kitchen sink, the outside of the washing machine and dryer....the list goes on. It's incredible how effective this product is in just a few moments! It really is a life changing product that'll help you clean every inch of your home.

Promising review: "This spray works! I only write a review if I’m really happy with something or really disappointed and I appreciate all whom write reviews. I have been using this spray for a week since cleaning my shower doors and there is NO SCUM. Still looks clean after a week. Usually by the third day my glass shower doors look dirty." —G. Guill

29. Washable microfiber mop pads to pair 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 brokeI 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! I never thought I'd swoon over a cleaning product but...here we are :)." —JB

MagicBrush is a small business!
Promising review: "I don’t have anything bad to say about it, it’s easy to squeeze out the cleaner, it doesn’t drip any cleaner out unless you squeeze it, I use a gel cleaner and worth the money! Way better then those hard bristled ones that you have to keep replacing because they get so rusty and nasty looking after a while. Plus it just looks so cute now." —Jessica

32. And a gap-cleaning brush, that'll help you *finally* tackle that irritating space in between your sliding door where all the gross pet hair seems to congregate.
Promising review: "Perfect little brush to get in the hard to clean areas. Used it in the tracks of an old pet door stuffed with dog hair and dander. Shocked at how much gunk came out with this brush. I like how the bristles are longer and can really reach into the nooks and crannies." —Island Girl
