    45 Cleaning Products Under $20 To Thrill Any Clean Freak

    Cleaning fools, prepare your fingers, you're about to hit *add to cart* a lot.

    1. A Rubbermaid scrubber because your old toothbrush that you use to clean just isn't cutting it anymore. This electric power scrubber is small but mighty. Stop breaking a sweat every time you find a new gross stain, and instead, break out this scrubber that will do all the heavy-lifting.

    I was recently influenced to purchase one of these, and I can tell you it genuinely works. I wasn't really expecting it to do much, but when I used it in my shower, I could see the water stains getting lifted immediately. The grout cleaner attachment is especially helpful for the awkward corners of my shower that I couldn't seem to reach with any other brushes. It really takes out most of the work and allows you to get a deeper clean without as much elbow grease.

    Promising review: "I’m selling my house and needed to clean my grout. Not having the patience or desire to do it manually, I searched for an electric helper. It’s always been a pain to clean the corners in the bathtub and other tight areas, so I opted for the multi-brush head package. This little scrubber made my jobs soooo much easier and faster! Holy crap does it work its battery-operated butt off! This thing literally made cleaning fun for me, which is a miracle in and of itself. The fact that it worked so well and cleaned the funkiest of funks is just an added bonus. I know what I’m getting everyone for Christmas this year!" —Dani

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (also available as a kit that comes with additional attachments).

    2. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that doesn't require scrubbing. 😩🙌🏼 Just spray it on and leave it while you go clean the rest of your house. When you wipe it away (8–12 hours later), you will be *shocked* by the results.

    Promising review: "Holy cow! The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't know about it sooner! I have three teenage daughters. My shower sees body oils, creams, hair dye, etc DAILY. Scrubbing once a week wasn't enough. The girls didn't always remember to use the daily shower spray. This stuff WORKS! I can see the difference after two uses two days in a row. Could see a change on day one. I think one more use will have my tub looking like I scrubbed with bleach for an hour!" —Jon W.

    Get it from Amazon for $19.54+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

    3. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets because I feel like we never remember to clean the things that are supposed to be cleaning other things…Like, of course our clothes come out stinky when we've literally never thought to clean the actual machine.

    A reviewer's pack of the tablets sitting with one open in front of it

    They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.

    Promising review: "I purchased Affresh for the dishwasher first and it saved my dishwasher from the scrapyard. After being so thoroughly impressed by the job that product did, I decided to try the washing machine cleaner. I didn’t think my machine was that dirty… O. M. G. I was wrong. The water in the machine was literally black with filth!! Not gray or a little scummy— I mean completely black! Horrifying to think this machine 'cleaned' my clothes. I wish I could go back in time and buy this thing like two years ago. I’m horrified (and so satisfied with the results)!" —M

    Get a pack of three from Amazon for $6.99+ (also available in five- and six-pack).

    4. An Oxo microfiber duster designed to actually trap the dust instead of just moving it from one section to another. Plus, no matter how dusty your house may be, you don't have to worry about creating excess waste because the cloth is washable instead of those name brands that you have to throw away after each use.

    Promising review: "My apartment is fairly minimal. I don't tend to have many single-job items. Therefore, I didn't understand why I couldn't just dust with a microfiber cloth that I already own. Well, I can, but this is definitely a step up! It make dusting super fast. Because it is stiff, it helps with surfaces with baseboards and trim. It also makes it much easier to dust the tops of the door jams and reach spots like the frame under my futon or the top of the refrigerator. The dusting part snaps on to the plastic base and easily comes off for washing. I throw it in the washer with my microfiber cloths in cold water and hang to dry. I've only washed it three times, so I don't know how long it will last, but so far I'm loving it!" —Kathryn

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

    5. A miracle carpet cleaning solution you can put into the carpet cleaner machine you already own and get up those stains that have been haunting you for the past two years. This stuff is all natural, so you don't have to worry about any harsh chemicals making your kids or pets sick.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that creates cleaning products, especially for homes with furry friends.

    Promising reviewing: "I have a dog and two young boys, and I’m constantly cleaning the rug and sofa. I have tried other name-brand cleaning solutions, vinegar solutions, resolve, and nothing works as good as this. All the other ones have a weird smell that almost just mixes with the bad smells and makes it worse. This has a very clean and fresh scent and actually removes the odors!!!! Works well on carpet, rugs, and sofa upholstery. I use it in my upright carpet cleaner and small portable carpet cleaner. The best!" —momj

    Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes).

    6. Or if you don't have a carpet cleaning machine, a stain and odor eliminator to clean up those tough messes you've already used sooo many products on. Not only will this stuff get rid of the stain, but it will get rid of the smell…pet stains can be STANKY, iykyk.

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. is a family-owned small business named after the family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.

    Promising review: "I have an elderly dog who has occasional accidents and a cat with chronic bladder issues. Without this product, I’m pretty sure I would’ve burned down the house. On fresh accidents, it works with just one treatment. It removes the stains, and more importantly, it completely removes the odors. On older, setting stains, it completely removes stains and odors after several repeat treatments. I’ve tried so many products over the years. Hands-down, this is the best." —SR Kelly

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

    7.  A jetted tub cleaner because idk if you've heard, but those jets can get DISGUSTING...like, never-use-a-shared-tub disgusting. But unfortunately, that gunk doesn't stay only in the hotel tubs; it can build up in your tub at home. Clean out those jets, and stop being afraid of using your tub to its full potential.

    Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub. I had anxiety about using the tub because I didn’t know what kind of germs and funk were in the jets. I ordered Oh Yuk before we even closed escrow. And when escrow did close, I got my keys and immediately used Oh Yuk in the tub. The junk that came out was soo gross! I ran it four times and nownthe tub jets are spotless. It was great being able to take a bath and not worry about someone else’s dirt and funk in my bath water. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Niki D.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    8. A pumice cleaning stone reviewers repeatedly call magic, and once you see the results, you will understand why. Those rings you've had around the toilet in your basement for years will finally disappear.

    Promising review: "I’m doing a happy dance right now! My toilets have had mineral rings in the bowls from well water since we bought our house five years ago. During those five years, I have purchased NUMEROUS products to try to remove the rings. Every single one failed. I had come to terms with the idea that if I wanted pristine looking crappers, I was going to need to replace them. Three of them. Ugh! I ordered the pumice cleaning stone as a last ditch attempt. Received it today, and immediately went to town. My extreme enthusiasm for scrubbing johns was actually a bit odd, but I was feeling optimistic. Turns out I had reason to. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!! SO amazing, it actually inspired me to take a picture of my TOILET!!!! My hoppers are saved!!!!! Seriously, the rings are COMPLETELY GONE. If I could give 10 stars, I would." —Sassyscribbler

    Get one from Amazon for $12.99+ (also available in a two-pack).

    9. Bottle-cleaning tablets so your emotional support water bottle you've been using every day for the past year (…without washing…) can be restored back to its freshly purchased state that is *actually* safe to drink out of.

    Promising review: "I admit I was skeptical that this would work on my deeply coffee stained, stainless steel coffee tumblers. Usually I have to boil hot water and use vinegar and dishwashing liquid in them and let them sit overnight to get them clean. So I was definitely skeptical how one small tablet with warm water for 20 minutes was going to get them sparkling. The truth of the matter is...it actually did a killer job! I popped one tablet in the bottom of each clean tumbler. Then, I added hot water that I had boiled on the stove (as an added benefit) and left them uncovered for 20 mins. Halfway through I stirred the water with a bottle brush and then let it sit for the remaining time. Before rinsing them out, I used a bottle brush again and then rinsed. OMG! SPARKLING LIKE NEW!!! SIMPLE, FAST & EASY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Bliss Om

    Get a pack of 12 tablets from Amazon for $8 (also available in 36- or 78-pack).

    10. A jewelry cleaning pen to help make your jewelry ~shine~ like it did when you first got it. Warning: may cause you to spend a lot of time watching your jewelry reflect the sun onto different surfaces.

    To use this pen, simply wet the brush, twist the silver base of the pen until you see the blue cleaner come out and brush it on your jewelry. 

    Promising review: "I didn’t expect this ring cleaner to do much, especially since I’ve only had my engagement ring for like a year, but WOW. It really made my ring look brand-new. I will say I didn’t notice a different after the first use, but after the third, my ring looks sooooo much better! The diamond catches the light and sparkles so much more. If you’re on the fence, I’d say get it!! I am very much surprised and pleased with this. And as for the reviews saying they experienced a rash, I have very sensitive skin (like can’t use bath bombs without getting hives kind of sensitive) and I have had no reaction. 100% worth the money!" —Emily G.

    Get one from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in four variations).

    11. A beloved interior cleaner that allows you to clean inside your ~entire~ car with one cleaner rather than having to deal with different bottles for each kind of material.  

    Promising review: "This does exactly what I wante — clean all the interior surfaces of my car while not leaving any residues, streaks, or strong odors. I first used this on my 4-month-old Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that was CAKED in dust (inside!) from a recent off-road adventure. The Total Interior cleaner cleaned all my surfaces — dash, screen, leather seats, etc. without leaving any streaky residues or strong odors, good or bad. After things settled my car looked and smelled new again!" —T. Porter

    Get it from Amazon for $10.97+ (available in two sizes).

    12. A leather cleaner to easily clean and polish any leather you could possibly think of (seats, furniture, clothing, accessories, even faux or vinyl!). You may even be able to trick your guests into thinking you got an entirely new couch!

    Remember to mix this concentrate with water before using!

    Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).

    13. A reusable duster so you can still clean as often as you want, but you don't have to feel guilty about throwing away the duster each time. With this, you simply remove the duster from the handle when it gets dirty and throw it in the wash.

    TS Designs is a small business based in West Leroy, Michigan creating reusable cleaning products.

    *The handle for these is not included. Use one of the handles you have on hand from Swiffer.

    Promising review: "These dusters are amazing. I clean houses for extra income and bought these to save money on Swiffer/Walmart brand refills. One gentleman I clean is an older widower who has a ranch. His dog loves inside with him. Believe me when I say IT GETS DUSTY in there. Between the spiderwebs, dust, and dog hair, I'll usually use three-six duster refills per room. Today was my first day using these reusable dusters... AMAZING! One...one per room or two! I'm definitely ordering more!" —Stephanie S.

    Get it from TS Designs on Etsy for $4.99+ (available in 10 colors and multi-packs).

    14. A flexible coil brush to clean alllll the lint that is still stuck in your lint trap that you didn't even know existed (I personally thought the entire point of the lint trap was to prevent this build-up, but apparently not?!).

    Promising reviews: "Who knew that this little, unassuming brush would make such an earth shattering difference in my life! I have had my washer and dryer a little over two years and recently the dryer hadn't been drying as well as it should have. I purchased this set of lint brushes and another longer one to use outside my home on the big vent. When they arrived... I went to town. I will divulge that I am one of those people who actually *enjoys* cleaning! I mean I REALLLLLLY enjoy it :) This set was one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. I got so much lint out of the dryer where the lint trap goes that I was APPALLED! Who knew that there was that much junk just hanging out? I mean it just kept coming. I won't even go into how the bigger brush gave me cold chills of excitement... Suffice it to say, that you may THINK your dryer is clean... but until you purchase these babies and ram them in and out, and in and out, and in and out of your dryer. You just don't know pleasure. Or cleanliness! ;)" —Gina Hurteau Shoen

    "I use this lint brush to clean my window AC unit and it works amazingly. I was able to deep clean the air outlet and blower fan for the condenser and the space between the air filter on the front of the AC and the condenser and get an extra seven degrees of cooling out of my AC in the middle of July in Florida. Highly recommended." —Philip Marquis

    15. A cleaning putty that will *finally* clean all those small nooks and crannies — say hello to actually cleaned vents, keyboards, and all the other awkwardly small places you can't fit any other cleaning products into.

    Promising review: "WOW!!! This stuff is incredible! I work in an environment that is very dirty and our office is always covered in a fine layer of dust. But just a few minutes spent mashing this slime into all the cracks and crevices of my keyboard, mouse, phone, etc and it's all clean as can be! This stuff picks up dirt on contact and leaves behind a clean, no smell, no residue surface. I bought a second jar for my vehicle and it works miracles in there as well. My air vents, shifter and seats are now spotless. I couldn't be happier with this product." —Jenna75

    Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in three colors).

    16. A gel Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you can keep your toilet looking clean and smelling fresh *without* having to scrub or increase how often you deep clean. Every time you flush, this cleansing gel will release a fresh scent and prevent stains from building up.

    Promising review: "I recently bought a gorgeous antique tea service set, which was very tarnished. I did some research online to try to find the right product to help me uncover its beauty. Weiman Silver Polish came up again and again, so I had to give it a try. Removing tarnish is a big job, and I hate the process. I used a rag with a squirt of this polish and rubbed away. I'll be honest, it takes time to get the tarnish off. The difficulty with my tea service is that it's been stored for several decades, so the tarnish is thick. But thanks to Weiman, it's been giving a new, shiny life! Highly recommend this silver polish!" —Southern Grandeur

    Get it from Amazon for $7.45+ (available in two sizes).

    18. A snaking tool that will make it ~incredibly~ obvious why your tub is taking forever to drain. Fair warning: if this is the first time you're even attempting to unclog your drain, prepared to be disgusted (and maybe even kinda impressed?).

    Promising review: "Works so well I might not eat for days. I live in an apartment complex and the maintenance people are pretty strict about not using drain cleaning chemicals but rather calling them to unclog a slow-draining bathtub or sink. However, I have pretty long hair and I'm certain that the maintenance people don't get paid well enough to go up against the horror that's been building up in my bathtub drain over the past several years. When I got the Vastar snake drain cleaner I went straight to work. No instructions needed, the concept is pretty simple: You grasp the tool with the end that's a handle, push the pointy end down the drain, and the jagged part catches on the nest of hair that's swirled its way around your plumbing. I didn't even get the thing three inches down before it was getting stuck on clumps of hair and built-up gunk. I gagged my way through getting all nausea-inducing blockage lurking in my bathtub's drainpipe. It's now clear to me why this is a three-pack...there was simply no way I was going to be cleaning off the plastic tool and reusing it. Very happy with this product, glad it comes in a pack." —K.

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $5+ (available in two lengths).

    19. Or, if that still didn't do the trick, a bottle of Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver designed to clean out your drain from whatever is blocking it (yes, even those wipes that claim to be flushable but always end up causing problems). The two chambers come pre-measured so you don't have to worry about knowing if you're not using enough or pouring like five times the quantity that's actually needed.

    Promising review: "OK... So I have to do a little review on this product BECAUSE I have had a stopped-up kitchen sink and have LITERALLY tried EVERYTHING down to the industrial products with NO luck. I decided to go on Amazon and read a few reviews. This is the one I decided to go with. I only used one chamber, let it sit for an hour, and then used boiling water. My sink is NO LONGER stopped up!!! I saved a plumber bill and this was $10.98. HUGE win for this woman!!" —Tabpeach

    Get it from Amazon for $10.98.

    20. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to clean those little pet paw prints, toddler finger marks, and whatever else may be smeared all over your TV. No, that is not actually a weird mole on Michael Scott's face.

    The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! 

    Promising review: "A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub...Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul Wedero

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    21. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner to clean up all those stains from your baby throwing their yogurt or the entire coffee you spilled on the passenger seat.

    Promising review: "Holy moly, how did I never know that this existed?? This cleaner is nothing short of a miracle!! My backseat bench has been dirty with mystery stains now for at least a decade, stains that were created by little kids, various passengers, cargo, who knows. I tried EVERYTHING to get out the hazy, dirty staining on my charcoal colored seats to no avail. Hot water and soap, alcohol based rubs, carpet cleaners, fabric cleaners — literally EVERYTHING plus lots of elbow grease. I grew frustrated and resigned that my car will look like a dump forever. Then I started doing some research and came upon this cleaner. Many reviews stated it was the best thing ever, car sites named it their top choice etc. I decided its worth a last-ditch try and boy I am so glad I did! It took four to five sprays, some minor agitating and rubbing with a broad brush, wipe off with the enclosed cloth and whaddaya know?? POOF! STAINS GONE! I simply can't believe how easy this was and how pain free. I will go tomorrow and clean ALL my car seats! I highly recommend this, it’s the bomb." —Manddun

    22. A pack of 10 Swedish dishcloths so absorbent (up to 20x their weight) you'll wonder why you ever used regular paper towels. This is a change you can feel good about because not only do they out-perform paper towels, but they are reusable and washable so you can really cut down on your waste!

    Promising review: "You need these. I had to come in and leave a review of my own because these things are AMAZING. You’ve heard best thing since sliced bread? This is what they’re talking about. If you want to save time, skip the review and just buy them now. You’re welcome. Spill flour or something powdery? Grab one of these. They pick up EVERYTHING. And that’s nice and all. It’s more than nice, they do a remarkable job. But more magic comes in when you rinse them. Nothing gums up. They rinse right off very quickly so you can keep going. No fibers for things to embed in. Wiping a wood table after dinner? They grab every single crumb and none of those streaks of water a rag leaves. That is a stunning feat. They hold the perfect amount of moisture. They can be as wet or dry as the job you’re doing requires. I’m obsessed with them. Throw them in the dishwasher or washer (I don’t put them in the dryer) and they last. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought these as gifts. I’m back to buy more to give out. And everyone I’ve bought them for has done the same. I’ve bought more for myself and not because I need more — they hold up — but because I want more. I have them stashed everywhere. Bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, car! Just try them. These. This brand. These are brilliant. They just are. Never quit making them. I bet there’s a fan club forum somewhere for them like there is the Instant Pot." —madcow

Cleaned the filter, tried running the water to heat it first… nothing worked. Dishes were still coming out dirty and smelly. We were prepared to give up and replace our dishwasher. As a last ditch effort, I ordered the Affresh pods, and used two of ‘em. Hallelujah!!! Finally, dishes are coming out clean again. These pods saved me THOUSANDS!

    Promising review: "Witchcraft. I tested this out by cleaning my partner’s hairbrush and was so astounded. WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE?! I clean my brush.  I can soak it, wash it a million times, and my wrist will give out long before I can pick every single nasty oil blob out from the bristles. I usually give up when it’s ‘clean enough’ with some oil blobs still on it purely because I can’t handle the defeat of trying to pry them off every single bristle. Usually this results in me having to buy a new brush every so often. NO MORE. SMUG OIL BLOBS, YOU HAVE MET YOUR MATCH. SUCK IT. Seriously. I picked out the excess hair with the pick, sprayed it down with alcohol, let it sit for 10-15 mins, rinsed with hot water, and then gleefully (and probably maniacally) brushed LITERALLY EVERYTHING off of my brush within two minutes. Soaped it up and rinsed, and viola! No damage to my brush (even though I was very aggressive) and it looks brand new. I could cry with joy." —Sarah

    26. A set of three power scrubber brushes to attach to your drill so you can stop spending hours using your old toothbrush to scrub the grime away. It's time to work smarter, not harder, folks!

    These brushes fit with any drill, but if you don't have one, you can grab one here.

    Promising review: "Of all things to clean in the house, the bathroom has to be my least favorite!! I would scrub and scrub and scrub to try and remove calcium deposit stains and soap buildup. It was like my workout for the day! Well after using my new Power Scrubber Drill Brush Attachment, OH MY GOSH!! I am obsessed!! I had so much fun using it. I seriously did not wanna stop cleaning. I did not work up a sweat this time and it was amazing to see the calcium deposit stain wash away along with the soap buildup. Seriously though, the different attachments came in very handy depending on where I was operating the drill. The angled corners of the tile walls were cleaned perfectly with the circular brush. Also, the circular brush was awesome for the drain too. The big scrub brush was spectacular on the bathtub itself while the little scrub brush worked well with the grout lines in the tile. The attachments were easy to put on and take off the drill. They were also easy to clean, dry and put away for the next time. The price was WELL worth the product. There truly is no reason not to make this purchase to make cleaning fun again!!" —Soul-ga Girl Michelle

    Promising reviews: "I moved into this house over a year ago and haven't been able to get the gunk out of the top of the microwave no matter what I've tried. Used this ONCE, and it's more than halfway gone!! SOOOOOO HAPPY!! Didn't have to scrub very hard or anything; it just came right off. It'll need another time or two of use before it's all the way gone, but I can't tell you how impressed I am. It smells like vinegar when you're done, but not for very long. Super easy to use and definitely worth the money." —Briona

    "Did I need Angry Mama to clean my microwave? No. But did I want it? Heck yes! Did it clean my microwave? Heck yes, it did! Am I banned from ever using is while my sister is around? Also, heck yes! If you want something fun to clean your microwave AND annoy your sister at the same time, I highly recommend Angry Mama!" —Melissa

    Promising review: "Finally got around to trying this stuff. Lived up to the hype, really a 'miracle' paste as it is effective at cleaning many things. So far, I’ve used it to clean my stove, stainless kitchen sink, and shower (doors and all), and it worked. Also got rid of a deep stain on my kitchen counter that Clorox wipes couldn’t get out. Picked up so much dirt the microfiber towels I used got thrown away; I couldn’t see them being cleaned well enough to reuse. Seriously thinking about ditching all my other kitchen/bathroom cleaners and just using this because so far, it seems to do it all. And it’s not super expensive either. They’ve got another fan in me!" —sunsean

    29. A shower door cleaner that will make your glass so shiny that you will have to take caution to stop your pet (or maybe your partner) from running into it face first.

    Promising review: "This product completely removes soap and hard water stains from clear glass shower doors. I spread it on with a soft scrubbing pad — a little goes a long way — rubbed in circles, and rinsed with clear water (I used a pitcher and poured it across the glass) — twice. No streaking, no smearing, absolutely clear. I will be buying again." —Sallie C.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.59.

    30. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash with so many uses — tires, cupboards, obviously dishes, and more — you may get carried away trying to find the next thing in your house that needs a deep cleaning. For really stuck-on messes, simply spray a layer and leave it for a few minutes. When you come back, you'll be able to wipe away all the grime.

    Promising review: "My daughter told me about this, but I thought it was just like the regular Dawn dish soap. When she finally showed me how it worked, I couldn't believe I was washing dishes without it for so long. It's amazing for all the caked-on baking dishes, and it cuts through grease like magic. And it even worked when cleaning my stove, cabinets, and cupboards. It makes all the caked-on grease and grime disappear. I 100% recommend this product." —Maria K.

    31. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner that will remove all those mysterious drippings on the front of your oven, fridge, and honestly all your stainless steel appliances. Just spray it on, wipe it away, and watch your streak and smudge-free appliances shine.

    Promising review: "I have tried numerous stainless steel cleaners, most more expensive than this one. Most were aerosol and messy. None of them were plant-based. They all smelled like chemicals. And it was always a game of Whack-a-Mole when it came to streaks. I got to the point where I was upset with the people behind stainless steel appliances. Therapy Clean works exactly as it should. No streaks. The product even comes with a microfiber cloth! The trick is not to use a lot of the product while applying, and then using the dry part of the clothe to wipe off the excess." —Big Mama Shakes

    Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in two-pack).

    32. rust remover spray to get rid of those unsightly orange stains that definitely do not match the rest of your bathroom aesthetic. Plus, get ready...all you have to do is spray it and leave it!! *NO SCRUBBING* Wow, just think of all the other stuff you can clean while this is removing all the rust for you.

    Bonus! This stuff doesn't just work on rust stains around your house; it is also safe for fabrics and can get out those tough yellowy stains on your clothes.

    Promising review: "We get bad hard water stains in our shower, and it's a chore I DREAD doing. Our shower was so grossly stained orange from the hard water even after a vinegar clean that it was embarrassing. I've tried everything from a natural cleaner to strong CLR types of cleaners, but nothing compares quality OR cost-wise to this product. This will be a repeat order from me. I didn't even have to scrub or wipe. After spraying and letting it sit for about five minutes, it practically took care of itself. Stains that were a bit more ingrained took a small bit of effort to wipe off, but nowhere near the elbow grease I needed to previously put into cleaning. After only spraying, it was practically gone just from that short soak. I feel so much better about the cleanliness of my bathroom now, and don't feel embarrassed to leave the curtain open. Excellent product!" —Alyssa G.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.47+ (available in multi-packs).

    33. A pack of cleaning sponges that work on household surfaces, cars, shoes, really anything that you need to clean. These are extra thick, so they can handle bigger messes without you having to constantly grab a new one. But if you do burn through one, don't worry...this comes with 20.

    Promising reviews: "I had not been a believer in the supernatural. When I purchased and used this product, that changed instantly. I know what I've seen, no one can convince me otherwise; these truly are magic." —Gregory C. H.

    "Removes what everything else I tried couldn't. I was able to clean all of the upholstery on my '34 cruiser with one block, but the block was pretty much history by the time I was done. I'm sure the next one will last longer since all the nasty stuff is now gone. I bought a 20-pack, and I suspect that it could last me the rest of my life. A great value for the money." —Amazon Customer

    34. A cooktop cleaner to take the stress out of cooking, because cooking = messes. I know there's been at least a few (a lot of) times I have been cooking and my pot boils over. I'm *adding this to my cart* so now I can actually solve that problem instead of just staring at it wondering if I'll ever be brave enough to cook again. 

    The kit includes cooktop cleaner, cleaning pad, cleaning pad grip tool and scraper.

    Promising review: "I especially like the razor. I have a brand new glass top stove, and the first couple nights, already got something stuck on, which no amount of scrubbing (three types of scrubbies) would remove. Very frustrating. I saw this in a list of Amazon favorites and ordered. It worked the first try!!! Razor is an enormous help, but the liquid is excellent, and having the scrubby mounted on a handle gives it a lot more oomph. I won’t be out of this ever!" —Bev K.

    Get the kit from Amazon for $13.14.

    35. A disposable toilet cleaning wand that comes with scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner. Now, you won't have to spray the cleaner, let it sit, and then scrub the toilet. Since the pads are disposable, you don't have to worry about storing the germ-infested toilet brush. Maybe it's just me, but I get the heebie jeebies putting away my toilet brush and praying it doesn't touch anything in the process — aka yes, I will be buying these.

    The starter kit comes with the wand, storage caddy, and six refill brush heads.

    Promising reviews: "I’m so glad I purchased this Clorox toilet wand. Extremely easy to use. I love how great it deep cleans my toilet. Reaches areas the my normal toilet brush didn’t. The soft scent is just perfect!" —Liza L.

    "I bought this wand to clean the toilet but found it also works great for showers and tubs. I love that I don't have to bend so much. Super easy to use! I still hate cleaning bathrooms, but this makes it so easy." —Michele M.

    Get the starter kit from Amazon for $11.98.

    36. A pet hair removing carpet rake with a magnet-like rubber head to attract the massive amount of hair that is lodged into your carpet. This thing will pull up piles of pet hair (and probably your hair, too) that you thought you got rid of vacuuming. BONUS, this is reusable and washable, so no worry about creating excessive waste when you inevitably become obsessed with cleaning your carpets.

    The handle is incredibly versatile and can extend from 36-60 inches to prevent people of all heights from straining their backs while de-furring their home.

    Promising review: "Just get this, now. We added a kitty to our family a year ago, and I was starting to feel overwhelmed with the nonstop hair. We have beautiful hardwood floors, and sweeping or vacuuming just seemed to provide a temporary fix. When this amazement came, I did a test run on a hall runner that I vacuum often. The amount of hair that came off terrified me!!!!! For days, I walked around from room to room just sweeping everything. It’s almost a miracle. Love, love, love it!" —Pcelica063

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in eight variations).

    37. A washable blinds cleaner that has three blades making it easy to clean two blinds (top and bottom!) at once. That means you will cut your blind cleaning time IN HALF! What's better than a nifty cleaning product? A nifty cleaning product that saves you time. Once you've finished cleaning, just pull off the cloth, throw it in the washer, and it'll be ready for the next time you have a cleaning frenzy.

    Promising review: "These are great to get a thorough cleaning faster. It does take a bit to get through them all. Working quickly, It was two and a half or three minutes for the set and would be longer for the double wide window blinds, so about 30 minutes to do my full house. But being able to do both sides at once is a big time-saver. After doing a set myself, I gave it to the house cleaner, and he thought it was fantastic and wanted the link to buy it himself. It is sturdy. The cloths are easy to remove and put on again for cleaning in the washing machine, and they don't come off during use or anything, despite not having anything that holds them in place." —lygophilia

    38. A pack of glass wipes appropriately named Miracle Wipes. These wipes can be used on a multitude of surfaces — windows, cars, mirrors, stoves, screens, etc. — and no matter the surface, there will be no fingerprints, no smudges, and no water spots once you've finished. 

    Promising reviews: "I have dogs, which means I have a ton of doggie nose art on my windows; these wipes were awesome! A couple of swipes with no scrubbing, and my windows were clean." —Lisa K.

    "This is one of the easiest products to use to clean my mirrors. It leaves no streaks or residue on the mirror. I am on my second canister of these wipes; I highly recommend!" —K.L.

    Promising review: "Went camping with my sister-in-law and brother. Used this mess kit pot to boil water over the flame, so it got all sooty and gross. Tried cleaning it with the chain mail scrubber, but sister-in-law said she uses this stuff! So, I tried it. WOW! I’m sure I could get it even sparklier with a little more time and elbow grease, but it’s just a camping pot. Still, look at that shine! I really didn’t expect that. Totally recommend!!!!" —Frequent Shopper

    Get it from Amazon for $6.73+ (available in three quantities).

    40. A container of OxiClean stain removing powder that is so versatile there are over 101 ways to use it (laundry! pet stains! grout cleaner! carpets! I could list more, but I don't think you want to read every single way you can use it — odds are no matter where the stain is, you can use this). It even works on set-in stains, so don't worry if that stain in the corner has been there for years.

    Promising review: "I have a canvas tote bag that I put a vacuum sealed piece of beef liver in from a farmer's market purchase. The liver thawed out when I was jawing away with a health food buddy in his store. The bottom of the tote bag became a bloody mess. I soaked it overnight in warm water/OxiClean in my kitchen sink and was shocked to wake up the next morning with the stain completely gone. Very impressive stuff!" —Bee2Bee

    Promising review: "This little ball is genius!! Rolls around in my purse, which I live out of. It picks up a lot of lint, debris, or even crumbs. Easy to find with the bright pink. Just remove and wash and it’s ready to go again. The price was great and something I can use for years. If you live out of your purse this a must-have!!" —dj3biggs

    42. A set of cleaning cups for your Keurig if you're starting to notice a ~funky~ taste in all your beverages after having your Keurig for a long time and never cleaning it. Don't worry, you're not alone, I didn't know you were supposed to be doing anything special to clean them either.

    Simply insert one of these pods like you would a coffee pod and run it on the largest cup setting. Reviewers suggest running one-two additional cycles of just water after the initial one just to make sure all the gunk is fully removed.

    Promising review: "I had no idea that little needle would get so darn dirty! I was shocked at what came out of it when I threw one of these babies in. I admit I haven't been great about cleaning my machine out given how much use it gets, but it was still a surprise to see how black the water was, and the amount of sediment when the cycle was done. Coffee taste great! I will use this product regularly from now on." —Isabel

    43. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner that is SO easy to use. Just throw one down the drain, run some water and the disposal, and watch the blue foam come up, cleaning out all the gunk and grime from all the holiday dinner recipes you've been testing.

No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim
