    26 Cleaning Products Reviewers Have Confirmed Are Life Changing

    The TubShroom is in here — and for good reason.

    1. 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.

    2. A garbage-disposal foaming cleaner to scrub away the stinky grime that builds up on the blades and in the pipes.

    3. A handheld Dirt Devil vacuum so lightweight you'll be able to clean and dance around your living room to Hilary Duff's "Come Clean" at the same time without fear of tripping over a cord.

    4. 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!).

    11. A microfiber spin mop and bucket with over 79K 5-star reviews on Amazon, which is kinda wild because it's a MOP.

    My husband and I recently moved into our first house — 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.

    Get it from Amazon for $27.99.

    22. 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.

    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 $9.99.

    23. Durable all-purpose wipes to help you clean a plethora of things in your kitchen and, honestly, in your entire home. The best part? They're filled with vitamin E so you won't be left with dry, cracked hands.

    Note that while these are great for messes and stains, they don't disinfect.

    Promising review: "These wipes have changed my life! They clean everything!!! Makes my stainless steel beautiful. I have used it to clean soap scum off shower that nothing was working on. Even cleaned carpet spots. I can just put a little water on it and use one wipe forever." —MJS

    Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $13.94.

    24. 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 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

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.95.

    25. A bottle of Goo Gone that'll remove the mysterious sticky substance (is it dried barbecue sauce or soap residue?) that always seems to show up on your kitchen counters.

    People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products, too!

    Promising review: "This. Stuff. Changed. My. Life. I have a piece of furniture that has had residue from the price sticker stuck on it for three years and nothing would budge it. I used this and it took ONE wipe and 10 seconds and it is GONE!!! Can’t believe I didn’t know about this sooner. Literally a GAME-CHANGER. BRING IT ON, PRICE TAGS!!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    26. A sink cleaner to help you bring an array of surfaces back to prime condition — might I suggest starting with your neglected kitchen sink?

    It also creates a shiny, water-repellent surface that water will just bead off.

    Promising review: "This stuff has changed my life! After a few minutes of light scrubbing and BOOM — the mess is gone! Our sink takes a beating and literally nothing would help. I thought about getting another popular sink cleaner but then I saw this one on BuzzFeed so I took a chance and I’m glad I did. I will say it does leave an annoying scent behind but it does go away eventually. I usually just use a candle to mask the smell and that does the trick. I HIGHLY recommend this." —Diedre&Matt

    Get it from Amazon for $2.25.

    Here's to hoping your next cleaning sesh is a delight!
