1. A ChomChom roller to gather up the pet hair that's accumulated on your chair from your fur baby making it their bed when you got up to use the bathroom. It also has a little compartment that stores the fur for easy cleaning!
What makes this so great is that it's completely reusable, unlike lint rollers and doesn't need to be plugged into anything, unlike a vacuum. However it *is* a bit bulky, so it's hard to reach the nooks and crannies covered in fur. This edge scraper will get all the spots the Chom-Chom can't!
Promising review: "I have had many different pet hair rollers and this beats everything hands down. The compartment that traps the hair is genius. With many pet hair removal tools the hair sort of flies in the air a little, you have handfuls, or have to clean the brush on something...this baby traps the fur in a little compartment that is easy to empty. I sent links to this product to lots of my friends who are owned by cats and told them it will be life-changing." —DLB

2. A container of The Pink Stuff cleaning paste that'll clean practically anything. No really. Marks on the walls? Sure. Dirty stove? Obviously! Grimy bathtub? Duh. The Pink Stuff has your back.
This vegan paste will remove stains from stoves, kitchen floors, metal, ceramics, porcelain, marble, wood, silverware, jewelry, glass shower doors, fiberglass doors, glass stove tops, countertops, toilets, sinks, bathtubs, car wheels, stainless steel, and so much more! Whew!
Promising review: "Since moving into this apartment I have gradually come to hate this tub because of the water stains I have tried every product on the market including crazy things from the internet like Coca-Cola, vinegar you name it..this stuff with a couple of swipes/scrubs and a toothbrush for the textured areas completely cleaned my tub in a way that I can only tell you excited me to the core of my being. All I can tell you is buy it and I wish you the best!" —Michelle
Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in larger sizes).
3. A concentrated leather cleaner to breathe new life into all of the leather in your home. We're talking couches, chairs, car seats, purses, shoes, gloves, jackets —literally *anything* leather!
Since this is a concentrate, that means a little goes a long way. This teeny 4-ounce bottle makes a whopping 32-ounces of cleaner when diluted with water!
Leather Honey is a family-owned small business and has been a top leather cleaner and conditioner since 1968. Their products provide up to six months of leather protection, are always non-toxic and all-natural, and will make your leather softer, richer, and healthier.
Promising review: "I bought a sorta white leather sectional for $150 stained and dirty but no major wear or tears. Well, the pictures tell it all! It took at least three cycles of gentle scrubbing and wiping off raised dirt and a little extra for bad stains! A lot of elbow grease but holy crap! Super nice couch now!" —iPoutside365
Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in two sizes).
4. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads that'll work quickly to lift whatever kind of icky stain your pet has so graciously left behind for you on your new rug. What makes it so great is that no matter how gross the "accident" is, you don't have to put your fingers anywhere near the mess — just put on some shoes and stomp away!
Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15 years old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog that was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy

5. A wood polish and conditioner to enhance the natural beauty in all of your wood by feeding it with oils, preventing it from drying and fading. It'll make your adult self *so* proud.
This polish can be used on antiques, kitchen cabinets, dining tables, doors, and basically anything that's wood! Also doesn't contain any silicone or linseed oil.
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely AMAZING. My wife and I were getting tired of looking at our worn out cabinets and wood paneling and were very close to paying a professional thousands of dollars to refinish it all, but then we came across this product. Our paneling and cabinets were looking rough. We have two dogs that jumped up and scratched places, we also had an area that was damaged by water spots where our dog bowls were, and several other areas that were just worn from heavy traffic. This stuff was like a magic eraser for water spots, scratches, scuffs, and any other blemish. We simply wiped the product on with a paper towel and let it sit for 20 minutes before wiping it off with a clean towel. Everything looks brand-new. I'm buying a couple more so we can finish our cabinets and wood paneling. We're so glad we found this product." —Kris
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
6. A Goo Gone kitchen degreaser because *goo gone* are the days of you using way too much elbow grease to clean your stovetop and counters.
Safe for use on tile, ceramic and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!
Promising review: "The tops of my cupboards had been cleaned maybe once in 15 years. They were disgusting with grease and dust that I thought I’d never get off. Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray, and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!" —JC
Get it from Amazon for $13.29+ (available in a larger size).
7. A pet stain and odor remover, so when Indiana Bones gets a little too excited that you just got home and decides to pee all over your brand new rug, it's not entirely annoying. Plus, how can you stay mad at a dog named Indiana Bones? You can't.
This cleaner is not *just* for the carpet, though! You can use it on furniture, pet beds and crates, hardwood, and even laminate flooring!
Sunny & Honey is a small business focusing on creating products that are highly effective at cleaning pet stains. They also donates 10% of all profits to animals in need (rescue groups and no-kill animal shelters).
Promising review: "This stuff works sooooo well. I have tried many other brands of pet stain remover, and this one is definitely the best. I have two indoor cats with hairball issues; they are often spitting up hairballs, or stomach acid only before or after the passing of the hairball. (Sorry for the TMI.) Of course, they only want to do this on the carpet and rugs. This stain remover effectively removes the bodily fluid, hairball, etc., with a nice, fresh minty scent and no sticky residue. I keep a bottle upstairs and downstairs so I don't have to go hunting for it during those 2 a.m. hairball vomiting sessions (because, of course, that's the only time they want to throw up)." —Heather Coburn-Schill
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ or Subscribe & Save for $18.99/month (available in 32 oz. or one gallon and two scents).
8. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets formulated to penetrate, dissolve and remove odor-causing residue. You'd be surprised how dirty your dishwasher actually is. Use it once a month on any model, and you'll have the cleanest dishwasher in all the land. There's a reason it has a whopping 41,000 5-star reviews!
Promising review: "I have only used this once. I did not have a smelly dishwasher but decided to purchase this product as a precaution. The stainless interior of my dishwasher was left particularly sparkly after using this product. One caution. If anything, it may work too well for your dishes. Although the product says you can use it in a loaded dishwasher, you should proceed with caution. I ran my favorite PYREX measuring cup in the cycle and it came out bare....all the painted measurements had been WASHED OFF! Everything was very clean, too clean in the case of the measuring cup!" —Glad To Be Here
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
9. A trusty bottle of Weiman silver polish you can use to bring your old family heirlooms back to their former self. It not only rejuvenates dull and tarnished silver, but the non-scratch formula leaves behind a protective coating that prevents tarnish from reforming!
Promising review: "I was able to clean up a tea set given to my grandfather 40 years ago. This stuff worked amazingly!" —Kristi Lane
Get it from Amazon for $9.
10. A pet hair removal broom to make your jaw drop when you see just how much hair your little rascal has been shedding into the grasps of your rug's fibers. There is a rake side and a squeegee side, which both effectively do the deed.
Promising review: "This is a genius invention with a rubbery broom that catches everything! Today I didn't think the floor really needed to be swept, but the FURemover proved me wrong. I ended up with a big tumbleweed of dog hair and my hair and who knows what else? The handle telescopes far longer than I need (I'm 5'8") but the telescoping comes in handy when sweeping under the couch or other out-of-the-way places. This is a game-changer if you have a lot of fur or hair in your home. You must try this, I am so happy with this purchase!" —Frannie
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
11. A pre-mixed multi-fabric cleaner you can easily spray on literally anything that's looking a bit musty-crusty. It works great on curtains, mattresses, couches, and even car upholstery.
Please note: it is NOT suitable for velvet, leather, vinyl, or silk!
Promising review: “I just got a brand-new mattress and my cat got locked in my room and peed on my mattress in two places, leaving two big yellow SMELLY stains! I was worried about finding a product that would be OK on my pillow top mattress. I was skeptical at first with the product being so cheap but the reviews had me sold! I sprayed it on my mattress liberally and waited five minutes as instructed. It says to blot but with my stains I scrubbed and was amazed when the stain started to disappear. I repeated one time and I honestly can’t locate where the stains used to be! Super impressed! Like others I also really appreciated the nice fragrance! Didn’t smell like chemicals at all!” —Hailey Brown
Get it from Amazon for $4.32.
12. Drywall repair putty perfect for filling up holes made from moving decor around or even from unsightly cracks. Maybe you'll actually get your deposit back this time.
Promising review: "Does exactly what it says. Rather than getting spackle, waiting for it to dry, sanding it down, and tweaking as needed, this cuts the time/effort down to 1) rub over a place in need of patching 2) wipe off excess. The hardest part is not accidentally getting the product on parts of the wall that don’t need it, but that’s easy to clean up, so it’s not a problem. I used this to patch holes in the wall from a former WiFi router and modem- other than the color difference from the patch to the paint, you’d never know it was patched. Great price, easy to use." —Amanda
Get one from Amazon for $11.89.
13. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets because (much to my dismay) soap and water are just NOT enough to clean bottles and tumblers. These will get all of the extra gunk your bottle brush cannot reach. You can even use it to clean your old (and dirty) coffee pot machine!
Great for cleaning stainless steel bottles and mugs, hydration reservoirs, coolers, and even plastic containers. These are also great for cleaning your bottles and dishes while camping because of how portable they are!
Promising review: "THESE ARE AWESOME!!! I got these and tried one out first with my coffee travel mug and it worked AMAZINGLY. I got all my other travel cups and coffee carafe lined up and used one on each, and got a big bowl for all the covers and gaskets. I left them soaking for about an hour and cleaned with warm water and soap after. Everything came out excellent and like new, with no smell... Before dumping out the solution after soaking, I could see the film of crud that had risen to the surface of the water! Gross but cool. I have used one of these to clean my coffee pot carafe a few times, and it works great every time. I recommend super hot water from the tap when using these and waiting an hour." —Sage Moon
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8+ (also available in larger quantities).
14. A Wet & Forget cleaner so you can keep your shower squeaky clean *and* mildew-free by spraying just once a week — and rinsing clean. There's no scrubbing and no wiping!
BTW, Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments.
Promising review: "This product is so easy to use. It’s like it’s called you just spray it and forget it until it’s time to rinse it off. As you can see from the pictures (above) my bathtub was stained pretty good. The guy that owned the house before me used Ajax to clean it so it has almost no enamel left on it and it probably caused the staining and nothing could get it out until I bought this. After 4 8-hour applications, you can see the difference. I highly recommend this to everybody and once it’s completely clean I’m gonna go on the once a week application. I actually bought another bottle for my dad and mom." —Stephanie Martin
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
15. A RainX shower door cleaner that'll make your glass so clean, you'll have to actively try and not run into it when stepping out after your shower.
Promising review: "I'm in complete awe. I've tried everything under the sun to get the water marks and soap scum off my shower door. Nothing has come close to giving me these results!! I used a Scrub Daddy pad to apply the product. A cloth wouldn't do it. It took me an hour to do the whole door (in and out) but I love the results. Wonderful product for tough shower door stains." —L. Reilly
Get it from Amazon for $9.98.
16. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads that comes preloaded with cleaner so you can wipe the whole bowl with one hand and toss the head out. Easy peasy.
Promising review: "You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used up brush sitting in your throne room? You clean your bathroom but then you put that sucker down in its place and it's just like, mocking you. It's never truly immaculate. Never knowing true cleanliness. Fear no more. Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom. Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy. Clorox Toilet Wand is the answer to your prayers if you want an easy, deep cleaning, toss-away-after-you're-done type contraption for that porcelain throne of yours. Fast, cheap, and easy. Just like.... How we like to clean." —Juliana
Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $9.38 — and get a 30-pack of scrubber refills from Amazon for $19.38)
17. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges that'll work tirelessly to remove grime and stains while remaining gentle on surfaces. All you have to do is add water to the sponge and scrub away!
Reviewers have used this to clean marks on their walls from their kid's markers, grease marks, the yellow rust stains in their tubs, pigment stains from paint, and even dirty sneakers! Note: the sponges *will* slowly disintegrate as you use them— good thing there's twenty in the pack!
Promising reviews: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie
"Had no clue my bathtub could be pristine white until it was recommended to try 'Magic Erasers' on soap buildup. Not wanting to pay ridiculous price for box of two at our local store — I turned to Amazon. I have used a different generic brand in past and was disappointed they crumbled immediately, surprisingly, these held up very well despite using them on a very tough cleaning job that required lots of deep scrubbing. These will remove Sharpie marks on some materials, clean/brighten trim molding, cut through soap scum — the possibilities are endless — good to have on hand for various cleaning needs. Highly recommend." —Kat
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $11.95.
18. A dryer lint vacuum attachment, because you'd be surprised how much lint gets stuck *inside* the dryer. This will give you some peace of mind, knowing you won't have an accidental dryer fire started!
Suitable for most vacuum cleaners and comes with a brush to help clean your dryer!
Promising review: "I clean out my dryer vent every other load and I never could get the lint that would fall below. It started to build up so I thought I’d give this attachment a try and boy was it worth it! Not only inexpensive but super easy to use. Highly recommend this product." —B.Garcia
Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in three colors).
19. A natural tile and tub cleaner that will dissolve soap scum and hard water stains so well, you might actually be able to take baths without feeling icky about it. "Hi, Lush? Hold the bath bombs; I'm on my way." —definitely you.
It's made with plant-based cleaning agents— that means no added dyes, synthetic fragrances, or harsh, hard-to-pronounce ingredients! Plus it's cruelty free *and* smells like tea tree and eucalyptus. It's basically perfect.
Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 min. Came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this!" —Amber Erwin
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.04+ or Subscribe & Save for $12.39/month.
20. Or a hard water stain remover if your stains require just a bit more industrial strength.
Promising review: "This was the least effort I have ever expended to remove hard water streaks. AND LOOK AT THE RESULTS! Apply to the surface, and spread around like polish. (It’s a lotion, not a liquid.) I let it sit a few minutes, then used a drill attachment scrubber pad (you can just use any kind of scrub brush or scrubber sponge, though) to buff it out. One rinse, one dry is all I did for the results you see here. And if I’m honest, this was about a year’s accumulation of streaking. I clean the surface more often than that, but with a regular bath cleaner that does nothing for this buildup. There is almost no smell, but the slight smell is a wintergreen scent that matches the color. I forgot to put on my cleaning gloves and although it did not irritate my hands, it was a bit drying afterwards, so next time I will wear rubber gloves for after-job comfort. (If you have sensitive skin, use gloves)." —Pamela P.
Get it from Amazon for $18.76.
21. Cleaning cups for your Keurig because you'd be surprised at how much old coffee gunk has been building up inside that bad boy. No, really. You will be surprised.
Promising review: "Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price!" —Mads0421
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 or Subscribe & Save for $9.45/month.
22. A grout stain remover so you can stop telling your friends and family that you definitely used black grout in the bathroom. I know your secrets.
To use, simply apply, wait 6-8 hours, and then rinse away. No scrubbing required!
Promising review: "I was skeptical in using this product as i have tried countless 'mold and mildew removers' out there. My mold and mildew problem is impossible to remove. I scrubbed, bleached, treated it but no noticeable difference. I left this product overnight and I was like 'what is this sorcery?' I have no other words to explain it. Phenomenal results!!" —iAwesome
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
23. A tile grout paint marker for when no amount of scrubbing and cleaning helped, and you just want to paint over it and move on with your life.
It covers up to 150 square feet of space, is quick-drying, *and* is non-toxic!
Promising review: "Bought to clean up the pitted/cracked shower grout in an apt. If I owned the place, I'd have properly re-grouted & sealed. For the price, this did the trick and made the shower look sharp/clean. The paint dispenses easily and is pretty simple to apply evenly (and if you screw up, just use sponge to wipe off where you colored outside the lines). No idea how it'll hold up over time, but it made it through its first cleaning test (spray down with Kaboom tile cleaner). For my situation (i.e. it's an apt, so not willing to put in the time or money to fully re-grout), it worked." —Beez
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ or Subscribe & Save for $8.09/month (available in a narrow or wide tip).

We may be remodeling but I like to keep my appliances clean! After countless tries with either cheap or expensive stuff you purchase at the store I almost gave up and just purchased black appliances but after seeing the wonderful reviews of this product I gave it a shot and I'm not disappointed! I might have to try their other products!" —Jasmine Gehring

Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season.
Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial) the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product and it was a great price." —victoria

28. Ridiculously effective sticky traps for snatching those pesky gnats and fruit flies terrorizing your plants *and* life.
Promising review: "I was having an issue with the fungus gnats inside and outside of my house. They were driving me crazy, flying in my face and I couldn't take it anymore. I ordered these traps and they worked instantly! I placed the stakes and traps in my orchids (which I keep in the kitchen) and then placed some in my mini garden outside. Both traps caught more than I expected and are still catching more. It caught not only the fungus gnats but all kinds of large and small flies and moths! Totally worth the buy and will be buying more when I run out." —Sami H.

I was totally embarrassed not to mention grossed out at how much funk came out. It was NASTY! It definitely cleans your tub. You will probably have to clean the sides of your tub after it's finished because of how much stuff might come out. I swear I clean my tub on a regular basis, but I was amazed at how much better this worked. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer
