1. A touchless vacuum that'll make you wonder why you ever owned a regular dust pan. No more bending over and personally transporting your filth to the trash can — just sweep directly over to this ingenious device and watch it slurp up every last crumb.
2. A dishwashing spray here to make it easier to clean those gunk-covered dishes that have been chilling in the sink for a few days too many.
3. And a helpful pair of scrubby gloves with thick silicone bristles so you can spend less time dealing with stuck-on food that your regular sponge is no match for. Plus, now you'll have a protective barrier between your hands and whatever has been growing in your roommate's half-eaten bowl of pasta that's been hanging out in the sink for many days now...
Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical when purchasing these gloves, but the reviews were excellent, so I went ahead and bought them. I am so glad I did. I have small hands, but these gloves fit fine. Two things I really love about these gloves: 1. water does not seep inside (pet peeve of mine) and 2. they are easy to get on and off repeatedly (second pet peeve is when you need to wait until the gloves dry to get your hands back in them). The gloves do an excellent job cleaning the dishes and kitchen. I have not used them to do other rooms in the house but will be purchasing another pair to tackle other cleaning jobs." —Babs
Get them from Amazon for $14.59.
4. A *loooooooooooong* vacuum hose attachment capable of reaching those hard to get at spaces behind the stove, fridge, couch, and laundry machines that you know are getting grosser and grosser the longer you avoid them. It's also great for cleaning out your dryer vent so it doesn't get clogged with lint — which makes for longer drying times, higher utility bills, and even dangerous fires. Skip all that hassle by simply attaching this hose to your vacuum and letting it do all the hard work!
5. Some Wet & Forget shower cleaner that makes it easy to keep your tub and shower nice and shiny without having to get in there and break out the elbow grease. All you have to do is spray, let it sit, and rinse — and it'll clean and prevent scummy buildup all on its own. No scrubbing or wiping required — hooray!
6. A genius self-cleaning litter box so when nature has run its course, you won't have to be involved. This bestselling litter box does the dirty work for you, and is designed to sift out clumps so that your cat won't leave a fun trail of litter all over your house for you to clean up later.
7. A stainless-steel sink strainer here to prevent your table scraps from clogging up your sink's drain and causing the kind of backup you'd rather not think about.
8. And a sink strainer basket for those times when you don't wanna dump your saucey food directly into the trash, but dumping it into the sink winds up blocking the drain and being too much for your regular drain strainer to handle. Now you can avoid the water getting backed up right in the middle of a dishwashing session and having to get in there to clear it up... by hand.
9. A cleaning K-Cup you can pop into your Keurig just like you're making a normal cup of coffee. Then all you have to do is brew one large cycle with the cleaner pod, and one or more with just water (depending on how dirty your machine is), and you're done! Reviewers are overjoyed by how easy it is, and are relieved that they no longer have to wonder what gross bacteria is hiding out in their morning bean juice.
10. Or box of coffee machine-cleaning powder if you've got a pod-less coffee machine that could still use a good cleaning. PSA — oils and buildup in your machine can go rancid over time, making your coffee taste more bitter! Just add the powder and some water, and it'll get rid of the gunk all on its own in just a few brewing cycles while you stand back and watch.
11. A Bissel Cleanview bagless vacuum with powerful suction and a specialized brush roll for the embedded pet *and* human hair you usually struggle to get rid of. Plus, thanks to the easy-empty tank, you won't have to lay a hand on whatever gross stuff it sucked out of your carpets.
12. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp — it'll hang out on the inside of your bowl and give it a lil' clean with every flush...so you don't have to get in there and do the cleaning yourself! Simply stamp it on, and it'll ward off gross toilet rings and keep your throne smelling nice and fresh for up to 12 days before you have to add another one.
13. OR Some hydrogen peroxide-infused toilet bombs that'll fizz around to freshen and clean your bowl. When used regularly, they'll even eliminate the need to get in there with a pumice stone!
14. A bottle of Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver here to quickly gobble up any hair or other buildup in your various drains.
15. A game-changing scrubber/sponge/dishcloth/scouring pad hybrid that dries in about 15 minutes (unlike normal sponges) to prevent odor-causing bacteria growth. The abrasive surface is great for making easy work of scrubbing everything from dishes and pans to showers and sinks — *without* leaving any scratches behind. Plus, debris rinses off easily, so you don't even have to put them in the washer. See ya never, smelly sponges!
16. A bacon sponge, so you can stop having to waste a bunch of paper towels and still wind up getting grease everywhere every time you make bacon. This organic cotton towel absorbs 10 times it's weight in grease and other liquids and is reusable and compostable!
Green City Living is a woman-owned small business based in Denver, Colorado!
Promising review: "This is great. I don’t like using loads of paper towels in draining meat, but I didn’t know what else to use. The bacon sponge is absorbent and easy to clean. It performs as advertised and makes me feel better about eliminating another source of waste." —PamelaRenee
Get it from Green City Living on Amazon Handmade for $13.50.
17. A jetted tub cleaner to keep your relaxation zone from turning into a bacteria soup.
18. A three-pack of Grandma's Secret Spot Remover that truly proves that Grandma knows best. Just a drop is all it takes to banish stains old *and* new from oil, grease, blood, spaghetti sauce, paint, makeup, grass, clay, inks, baby formula, tar, coffee, rust, turmeric, fabric bleed, pet stains, and more — *without* harming or discoloring your fabric.
19. A double-sided hairbrush-cleaning brush because your head's not the only thing that needs excess hair, dust, and buildup brushed out! This easy-to-use tool has strong bristles that'll get your favorite hairbrush looking like it's never been used before. And once you see how dirty it was, you'll be glad you cleaned it before putting it *anywhere* near your head.
20. A cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally get rid of the gunk that seemed like it would never come off of your stove. The kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper to make it a quick and easy job.
21. A pumice stone toilet bowl cleaner to make removing stubborn toilet stains — no one's favorite job to begin with — a heck of a lot faster and easier so you can spend as little time face-to-face with your throne as humanly possible.
22. Or a toilet wand with a disposable head (and six refills) preloaded with Clorox so cleaning is a breeze. Just swish, swirl, and scrub as needed with the hexigon-shaped sponge head designed to hit those tough-to-reach places, then pop it off and toss it when you're done! Your toilet will be sparkling and smelling fresh in record time.
23. A made-to-order, self-draining ceramic soap dish ingeniously designed with a drainage spout to transport excess water directly into your sink instead of building up and getting gross at the bottom of the dish for *you* to deal with.
24. A garbage disposal brush, because no one wants to stick their fingers into whatever rotting leftovers are clogging up the kitchen sink and smelling up the place. Now you can get the job done quickly, easily, and most importantly...*from a distance*.
25. Or a foaming garbage disposal cleaner — it'll banish the foul odor coming from your sink so you don't have to get up close and personal with last week's rotting veggies.
26. A powerful, but gentle silicone paw cleaner here to make cleaning your pet's cute lil' feets a lot less of a hassle. Just add water, insert filthy paws, give 'em a little twist, and dab till dry! No scrubbing, no pain, and no more dirt, mud, sand, ice melt, *POOP*, and other grime getting tracked around your otherwise spotless home for you to clean up. Sounds like a win-win!
27. An over-the-drain hair stopper if standing in a puddle of dirty shower water because your drain is clogged sounds like the opposite of a positive shower experience.
28. Or a drain clog remover in case your hair/drain situation is already past the prevention stage, but hasn't quite yet reached what those in the industry refer to as a PLUMBING EMERGENCY. This declogger makes it super easy to clear your drain in mere seconds! No plumbing skills required whatsoever.
29. A pack of AirPod cleaners because no one wants a disgusting amount of earwax muffling their favorite songs. Simply squish the flexible square into the speaker, peel it off, and try not to gag when you see how much grossness has just been living in your AirPods rent-free.
30. A beard trimming catcher so you can stop avoiding shaving, because — let's be real — what you're really avoiding is spending more time than it even took you to shave cleaning up all of those tiny hairs that get EVERYWHERE.
31. A speedy oven cleaner designed to blast through baked-on crud, so all you have to do is simply wipe it clean.
32. Or heavy-duty oven scrub to make oven disasters a lot *less* disastrous. It's made with gritty pumice stone so you can easily scrape out those burnt-on bits on the sides, racks, and even on the door's glass panel.
33. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner — it'll loosen those splatters and stains so all you have to do is wipe them clean.
Just add water and vinegar, and place this gadget in the microwave for five to eight minutes on high heat. Afterward, wipe off with sponge, rag or napkin, and all the grime will come right off!
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors).
34. A Drill Brush kit that'll make your surfaces look brand new — without any of the scrubbing I know you're trying to avoid. Just attach the brush head to your drill, turn it on, and watch all of that grime disappear with ease.
35. A flexible Oxo Good Grips dish squeegee with a curved edge that makes it so much easier to clear leftover food from plates and bowls so you can save time *and* water.
Promising review: "If you have ever had to repair or replace a garbage disposal, then I am sure you have been lectured on basically only allowing crumbs to fall into the disposal. This dish squeegee makes prepping dishes for a dishwasher or sink washing a breeze. I hold the dish over the trash can and after a few swipes, the dish is ready for washing. In comparison to using a paper towel, it saves you money, helps protect the environment, and keeps your fingers free from gunk." —She Who Reads
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
36. A Magic Eraser — it works...like magic! Just add water, and you'll be amazed at how the dirt and filth just wipes right off. Use it on surfaces, walls, bathtubs, oven doors, light switches — you name it!
This is the most durable Magic Eraser, with three times the power of bleach.
Promising review: "The tubs are plastic/fiberglass. My daughter played with some toy that marked the tub — a lot of BLACK, DEEP marks! It looked awful. I tried to scrub it with soap, bleach, alcohol, rags/towels, Ajax, and nothing worked... Used these and the marks were gone in seconds." —Michael D
Get a box of ten from Amazon for $11.98.
