1. A container of The Pink Stuff because this slightly abrasive paste is literally amazing and can clean all the dirt and grime off any surface that you couldn't get rid of with any other products (without extra elbow grease)!
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

2. 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 Cwik
Get it from Amazon for $10.64.
3. 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 Kerr

4. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that doesn't require scrubbing. 😩🙌🏼 Just spray it on and leave it while you go relax in your backyard. 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 $20.52+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and multi-packs).
5. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop to help you achieve those shiny and ✨sparkly floors✨ you've always dreamed of. The microfiber mop head is ~machine washable~ and incredibly effective at picking up the dirt and grime.
The bucket this mop comes with has a built-in wringer and splash guard so you don't have to worry about flopping a sopping wet mop onto the floor, creating a bigger mess than you originally started with. Also, the mop head uses millions of strands of advanced microfiber to effectively capture dirt and grime with just plain water, aka there is no need for harsh chemicals.
Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls, and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because they weren't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $34.98.
6. 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 it from Amazon for $9.59 (also available in a two- or four-pack).
7. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that clean the nasty you can see, but also the *nasty* you can't see. Just place one where you would put a normal dishwashing pod and marvel at the results.
Promising review: "This stuff is the real deal. We have had multiple service calls to the house for this dishwasher — no help at all. 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! So simple and easy to use, I could not be happier." —M
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a 12-pack).
8. A ChomChom roller to remove all the pet hair that is still on your couch even after you've vacuumed — it's shedding season, you're about to find hair embedded everywhere. This little tool works on pretty much any surface — furniture, upholstery, blankets, clothes — and you don't have to worry about constantly ripping off *another* sticky sheet.
Promising review: "I opted to buy the ChomChom in the hopes of at last having something practical that will help us remove black cat hair from upholstered and carpeted areas of our home. I've used several things over the years, but nothing really worked 'as advertised.' The ChomChom made short, easy work of cat hair removal! No electricity, no big complicated two- or three-part device...just a well-designed, efficient roller that gathers up hair as one rolls it back and forth and deposits it in a closed compartment that's easy to clear out for dumping into the trash. Now, if someone could explain to me how one small cat can continually produce and shed so much hair, I'm all ears." —Marilee
Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
9. Or, a pet hair removing carpet rake with a magnet-like rubber head to attract the massive amount of hair 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 $16.99+ (available in seven variations).
10. A carpet freshener that you sprinkle, let sit for 10–15 minutes, and vacuum. Anyone who comes to your house will think you spent all weekend cleaning, when in reality you only spent like 30 minutes between your trip to the pool and your cookout.
TS_Melts is a small business based in Bolton, United Kingdom that creates all sorts of lovely products to make your home smell nice like wax melts, home diffusers, bath bomb rocks, and more.
Promising review: "GO AND BUY! I absolutely adore these carpet fresheners! They have made my bedroom and living room smell gorgeous. Even sprinkled some on my mattress and I can safely say I’m in love. I’ll be back next month to order more for myself and family!" —Jessica Higginson
Get it from TS_Melts on Etsy for $3.51+ (available in four sizes and 60 scents).
11. 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!
This brush kit is compatible with most drills. If you don't already have one, you can get a drill here.
The company that created this brush is a small business founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing himself harm.
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
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles and in six colors).
12. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that truly encompasses all your feelings after your partner let their sauce explode in the microwave...AGAIN. Just add water and vinegar, microwave mama, and watch the crud come melting off your microwave.
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
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four colors).
13. 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 now the 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.
14. A bottle of all-purpose cleaner that only uses five ingredients so you can feel good about the products you use. With a delicious orange and clove scent, you'd be spraying it anywhere just for the smell, but lucky for you, it's designed to be used on everything.
Humble Suds is a small cleaning brand run by two moms — Holli Schaub and Jennifer Parnell — in Evergreen, Colorado. All of their products are made from powerful, plant-based ingredients and packaged with recyclable materials.
Promising review: "I love this new essential-oil scent. It smells amazing, disinfects naturally, and I trust the simple, natural ingredients. I use this spray on everything — counters, toilets, cooktop — even mirrors because it doesn’t leave streaks! I have now replaced all my previous cleaning products with a couple of Humble Suds products that work on every surface of our home. I feel incredibly grateful to have found this brand for the health of my family." —Andrealaine White
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $13.99 (originally $15.55).
15. 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 going to be honest, y'all. I suck at housekeeping. Let me just say that this little battery operated scrubber is SO HELPFUL. The other day, I used it to clean my bathroom counter. I knew it had been messy, but I'd had no idea how absolutely filthy it was until I used this tool. This tool got off several years of caked on dust and hair. I was even able to clean under the rim of my sink, and what came out thanks to this brush was near barf-worthy. So not only does this little brush scrub powerfully, but it can get in hard-to-reach crevices, too. Do you have animals? If so, you know that sometimes, they throw up in hard to reach spaces. And sometimes, when we can't reach those spaces at that exact moment, we wait until we can... you know where I'm going with this. We were able to use this brush to scrub those stains off the floor from underneath our bed, which seems to be the cat's favorite place to puke. If you are like me and you're ultra lazy, this tool is for you. Or if you're the opposite of me and love having a really deep clean, this tool is also for you." —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $28.99.
16. A nontoxic oven cleaning kit that will restore your oven to first-bought freshness. The plant-based ingredients are strong enough to give your oven a deep clean without any toxic fumes.
Everneat is a small business in Fairfield, Connecticut specializing in cleaning products.
This kit contains an oven scrub and metallic scrubber. All the products are plant-based, vegan, cruelty-free, and refillable/reusable.
Promising review: "This product is amazing. I use it for cleaning my oven, my glass cooktop and my porcelain sink. It gets those marks in my porcelain out very nicely! I'm sure it would work great in the toilet too, I just have yet to try it. I've bought this product twice now. They've rebranded into it looking quite sleek. The first time I ordered the plastic jar and the lid was near impossible to get off. This time I ordered the glass and it is much nicer. I use a heavy amount of product and this lasted me approximately three months! Worth it!" —Kelly L.
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $25.99 (available in three scents).
17. A beloved Folex carpet cleaner ready to tackle (and defeat) those unexpected, and seemingly permanent messes — grease, and oil, and blood, oh my! And unlike many other cleaners, it's water-based, odorless, nonflammable, and safe to use around children and pets!
Promising reviews: "I purchased this cleaner since the reviews were so great. No regrets since it did exactly what it said. Coffee, dirt, and wine stains removed, just like that! It’s easy to use and oh-so-fast too!" —empowered
"I just removed makeup from my favorite white shirt and my white pillow cases!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t bleed the stain further down on cotton and removes on carpet just as well! They are both mind-blowing and easy to use! I love spending my money on products that do what they say they are going to do! No regrets. Stop wasting money and effort on everything else!" —JRreview
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two bottle sizes and three pack sizes).
18. A mold and mildew removal gel that you simply layer on, leave for a few hours, and wipe clean. Yes, that means NO SCRUBBING.
Promising review: "The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this and within one application it is bright, shiny, white again! If this hadn’t worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them." —Planetary Drive
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
19. A miracle carpet cleaning solution you can put into your carpet cleaner machine 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

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).
21. Orrrr, an odor eliminating spray that doesn't smell like chemicals, but like freshly squeezed oranges. Don't let the delightful scent fool you, this stuff is powerful. Reviewers rave about it *completely* eliminating any odors in their house, and yes, that still includes pet pee.
Promising review: "Had dogs most of my adult life and have tried just about every product out there to overcome pet odors with little to no success. My sister introduced me to this product. It works like nothing I've used or seen before. I highly, highly recommend this product. Safe for pets and totally eliminates pet odor and leaves a clean fresh scent. Love it so much, I'm telling everyone and I mean everyone about this product. Try it, you'll be glad you did and you too will be asking where have you been all this time." —Sharon Cardinez
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
22. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets because you're about to be doing wayyy more loads of laundry now that your kids are out of school and playing outside all day. How can you expect those clothes to come out clean if the machine itself is dirty?!
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 six from Amazon for $8.95.
23. A pet hair cleaner that will find hair that you didn't even know existed. Prepare to be humbled — you may have just finished vacuuming your carpet, but trust me, this will pick up a lot more hair and it won't take 10 sheets of sticky paper to do it.
I have two cats and I always tell people they don't really shed *that* much. Well, I guess I was proven wrong when my husband decided to buy this and we used it on our carpet. When I tell you we audibly gasped. We then decided to make it a game because it was honestly so funny how much hair was coming up even though we thought the house was clean 😩.
Promising review: "I generally don’t write reviews, simply because most often I’m buying products with a ton of reviews anyway so mine wouldn’t really matter, but HOLY CANNOLI, I don’t care how many reviews this thing has, I’m FLOORED (pun intended). I vacuum almost daily with a cattle dog and a staffy in my house, and there’s always hair. I used this for the first time on my rug last night and I cannot BELIEVE how much hair this thing pulled up AND IT DIDN'T DAMAGE MY RUG. THIS THING IS AMAZING!!!! 100/10 stars!!" —Tabitha

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.

25. And some reusable pads that you can just attach on to the Swiffer mop you already have so you don't have to feel bad going through like six pads since you haven't deep cleaned since the winter.
Promising review: "I love my Swiffer mop, and with two dogs I need to use it every day on the kitchen floor. I was bothered by the wastefulness of disposable swifter pads and these pads have solved that. The microfiber ridges are perfect for deep cleaning — and I simply toss them in the washing machine when they're dirty. No more expensive disposable pads for me!" —ann collins
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.66.
26. A natural tub and tile cleaner designed to dissolve soap scum, hard water stains, and mineral deposits all while making your house smell like eucalyptus 😍. Unlike many other cleaners, this one is non-toxic, free of synthetic fragrances, and made of biodegradable ingredients.
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 minutes. I 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

I don’t think it’s been this spotless since it was brand new. These towels are incredibly easy to use and they are such great quality. They work incredibly well on glass and mirrors as well. They leave behind ZERO streaks and they make cleaning quick and painless. I also love that they just need water. Saves me lots of money on harsh cleaning products! Can’t recommend more!" —Kerry Broker

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

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. They pick up EVERYTHING. It’s more than nice, they do a remarkable job. But more magic comes in when you rinse them. They rinse right off very quickly so you can keep going. 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 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

"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

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 of 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.

34. 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

35. A baseboard cleaner so every inch of your house can be as fresh as a daisy without having to get on your hands and knees to clean. Now you can just quickly swipe over them, making a horribly time-consuming chore much more manageable.
Promising review: "We have A LOT of white woodwork in our 3,300 sq. ft house...baseboards, crown molding, columns, elaborate trim around windows. The stuff is everywhere! And it was all dusty! I did not relish the idea of getting down on my hands & arthritic knees to clean all this woodwork. Enter the Baseboard Buddy! It works wonderfully on all the woodwork...not just the baseboards. I stopped periodically to clean the pad with a damp rag and then removed and washed the pad in hot soapy water when I was done. I had no problems with the cleaning head rotating unless I moved it. The long pole made it easy to clean at the top of tall windows. My baseboards and other woodwork looks like new again. Highly recommended!" —Lily of the valley

36. 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 new recipes you've been testing.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (also available in and eight-pack and bagged or boxed versions).
37. A pack of stain-lifting pads because 👏🏼we don't cry over spilled milk👏🏼 and now we won't have to cry over spilled anything since these pads will soak it up without any effort!! Just lay down the pad, stomp, let it sit and be amazed when you lift it up.
Promising review: "Get these if your pet has accidents on carpet. Don’t think twice - get these!!! They’re beyond easy to use and work GREAT!!! Save yourself from the back aching bending over and scrubbing. Open packet, place cleaning pad on spot (no absorbing it up first), step on the cleaning pad, wait 30 minutes to 24 hours depending on severity of stain, and then throw pad away. Done and done!!!! Cannot recommend these enough!!!" —Health tchr

38. An electric power washer more convenient, quieter, and cheaper than traditional gas power washers, but without sacrificing the *oomph* you need to get some of those nasty messes. Make sure your patio is in tip top shape so you can be the envy of all your neighbors when it's your turn to host the BBQ.
Promising reviews: "I wouldn't even care if this only worked once. It saved us a lot of money from having to hire a professional to clean 10+ years of grime from our fence. We sprayed Clorox first (using a manual pumping canister) and then washed it all off with this. Worked amazingly. Got green off the fence, the stone walls, even the sidewalk. Entire ecosystems were killed, but it needed to be done." —Karanbir Singh
"I was skeptical about this being electric rather than gas, but it is powerful enough for anything a homeowner needs it to do. And it is quiet and doesn't kill your ear drums or piss off the neighbors — like a gas-powered unit." —av8r567

39. A grout and tile cleaner because why pay for a professional to come clean your grout when you could use a professional cleaner yourself for waayyyy cheaper? The included brush makes it easy to rub away stuck-on grease and grime and reveal that actual color of your grout you might not even remember the last time you saw.
Comes with two bottles and a brush that you can connect to any broom pole you have, so you don't have to scrub on your hands and knees.
Promising reviews: "I used this product to get the orange discoloration (calcium buildup) off my shower grout, and it worked pretty well for me! I did not have to use that much elbow grease to get it looking good either. It definitely does come out of the bottle fast; make sure you are aiming where you want it to go! The instructions advise to let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and I let it sit the whole 10." —E-Dog20
"The item description is spot on. IT JUST WORKS. Cleaned probably 20 years of dirt from a property I purchased, and it worked wonders. The brush add-on saved my back as well. I highly recommend this product." —Elliot B.
