1. Defeat every household ~eventuality~ with a fan-favorite stain removing spray that works on anything from vino to coffee stains (and even accidents from your furry friends!). The time to tackle that 3-year-old blemish is NOW.
2. Remove years of buildup on shower heads by using a solution of vinegar and baking soda wrapped up in a plastic bag. Or! (even easier) use a decalcifier for about one to two hours to remove unwanted limescale and grime. This basically does all the work for you, so you can get back to more important things like catching up on The Queen's Gambit.
3. Revive every scratched-up surface that you thought was beyond repair with multi-purpose cleaning solution. This stuff gets to work on rust, burnt grease, and even sharpie marks, so this once daunting task can be over in mere minutes.
4. Split your list of to-do's into a 10-day schedule so you can deep-clean your whole house one day at a time, instead of getting overwhelmed (and eventually pretending the mess doesn't exist). Day 1: bedroom. Day 10: appliances (and a celebratory cocktail).
Here's a rundown of everything you'll need to take on all 10 days:
5. *Finally* get rid of those dried-on grease stains from the Bolognese sauce that overflowed on your stove two months ago with a cooktop cleaning kit. It'll Ctrl+Z any and all stubborn stains and residue, so you can finally stop placing those distracting ~decorative~ pots and pans on there.
6. Achieve dazzlingly clean floors in little to no time with a Swiffer wet and dry mop. It's basically the simplest solution for tackling hard-to-reach (and not-so-hard-to-reach) spots that have gathered inhabitants of the hair, fur, and crumb variety.
7. Make dish duty a less taxing task by pouring hot water over your sink full of dirty utensils first. It'll miraculously dissolve residue so when the time comes to scrub with an extra-tough sponge, the hard part is basically done. That way "overnight soaking" doesn't lead to a Monday morning of removing leftovers from the sink.
8. Or! Throw hard-to-clean dishes in the dishwasher with a bit of Finish booster powder to spruce up mugs that have had coffee stains in them for so long, you've forgotten what they looked like when you first purchased them. One cycle with this, and they'll be back to their Day 1 state.

10. Eliminate unsightly grout with an automatic scrubbing brush. It comes with a detachable oscillating brush head so you'll feel instantly gratified the moment you're reminded of the color that's separating your kitchen, bathroom, and backsplash tiles (spoiler: it's white!).
BEHOLD: the grout brush in action.

15. Gather up crumbs, spills, and pet hair off any surface (we're talking carpets, furniture, wooden floors, wherever) by using a squeegee broom. Because, thank heaven, some messes are just surface-level and don't require overthinking (or over-cleaning).
16. Get up to speed on the fast and equally effective tricks for cleaning your house from top to very bottom. It can seem daunting at first, but, honestly, it's nothing a little Bar Keepers Friend cleaning powder and stain-removing spray can't help you out with.
