Promising review: "OMG! Every home should have one (or more) of these scrubbers. I used it when I was cleaning the grout on the kitchen countertops before refilling with grout, and it worked splendidly. I also use it around the sinks, the baseboards, the stove, and any other little place that needs cleaning. Make sure you have extra batteries on hand if you use the device a lot. This is well worth the money -- and it wasn't expensive. This would be a perfect extra gift to give a new homeowner or a couple starting out together." —Mary

Promising review: "I bought my house seven years ago and never knew the dishwasher needed regular cleaning. I noticed it wasn't cleaning as well as it used to. The bottle says if your machine is really dirty you might need two applications. I expected I'd need at least two. I was shocked how clean my machine was after just one time. I now have it on subscribe and save and do it once a month. My dishwasher now runs great and the inside looks brand new." —Steven G.

Promising review: "Makes cleaning more efficient and F A S T. Clean nasty tubs and dirty appliances. This is perfect. I own and manage rental properties. Makes cleaning and prep work FAST!" —Ashten James
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.60.
Promising review: "I have been using bleach to clean my machine for some time, but decided to give this a try a few months ago. My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about. Every month now, I toss a tablet into the drum and let it work its magic. Now, my machine is cleaner than ever, and my clothes always smell wonderfully fresh. I highly recommend this to everyone." —Kelli Crawford

Promising review: "I am normally the worst kind of buyer. I always buy stuff but I never leave a review; this time I had to. Long story short, I bought a work car from an auction and apparently the people who owned the car let their pet live in it. There was so much hair in the car I thought the carpet was black and white. I tried every trick I could find and countless hours trying to get it out. I got this product 30 minutes ago and I can honestly say about 75% of the hair is gone. The only reason I stopped is because it's getting dark and I could no longer see what I was doing. Buy this thing!" —Jeffery Singleton

Promising review: "Do you have a stinky garbage disposal? If so, get some of these. They are cheap, smell nice. and the foaming action really provides you with a visual they are cleaning the drain. After using these the garbage disposal seems smoother (fewer strange noises, like it's been lubricated). I'd recommend these over Plinks any day as I feel the Plinks only hide smells whereas these foaming packets actually clean the disposal."—Sugacookie

Promising review: "I noticed my Venetian blinds were a bit dusty, but we have them all over our house so I was not looking forward to cleaning them one by one. I found this item on Amazon and figured I would give it a shot. SO EASY to use and I was able to get the majority of my blinds cleaned in under 30 minutes. I would highly recommend this product!" —Crimson and Blue
Get a pack of 24 towels from Amazon for $14.95.
Promising review: "We just bought a new solid wood kitchen table and I read that you shouldn't use paper towel on it, so I bought these. It is my first time using microfiber cleaning cloths, and I love them! They are a good size and very soft. I use one for about two days and then throw it down to be washed and pull out another one. Although I bought it for the kitchen table, I will be using these cloths to clean the rest of the house, too. I would definitely recommend these." —Amanda

Promising review: "Bought it because I suspected my bed had dust mites. I ordered it from Amazon and received it the same day! I would like to believe that I am a clean person; my wife changes our sheets every 2-3 days. I quickly opened and charged the Dyson V6 the second I received it. I ran the vacuum over all my mattress, sheets, pillowcases, pillow and covers for about 10 minutes. Look at the picture to see how much stuff I picked up! No wonder I've been suffering from sneezing, runny nose and even asthma every time I lay down on my bed! There's the big clumps of lint and whatnot, but there was also A LOT of super tiny dust-like particles that would make anyone squeamish and itchy. I highly recommend it (actually I recommend anything made by Dyson). I also own the Dyson DC65 and it's a BEAST!" —Nate & Amy
Get the set of two tools from Amazon or Jet for $5.99. Available in three colors.
Promising review: "Fantastic brushes! A must-have for a cleaning arsenal. Must. When you're working with shower stalls with all kinds of nooks and crannies (like the gnarly corner shampoo holder w/all its little holes and such!) BOTH these brushes will SAVE YOUR LIFE! Instead of looking for some kind of gadget in your house to 'McGyver' and use to clean these awkward spots, these two brushes, specially that funky looking red tip on the little brush, will make you say, 'Omg! Thank you lord for this thing!' I shit you not, this pair is the bomb. One review says it's just as good as a using a toothbrush. Yeah, not so much. THE ANGLE of the heads of the brush MAKE AN ENORMOUS difference. Toothbrushes do NOT come angled like these. Get these and breath a sigh of relief — you are now armed & ready!" —Kali Lover
Get it from Amazon for $2.99 or Jet for $3.89.
Promising review: "Just spray and leave. My husband and I mist the shower after every use, even on the glass shower doors. No more scrubbing. This product helps keep the hard water stains, bacteria, and mold away naturally. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Let me just start by saying, wow. I couldn't be happier with this product. The house I recently moved into had a hard water line in the toilet and it was no big deal for the first couple of months. I never really paid much attention to it. That is, until my mom said she would be coming over for a visit. Suddenly, the hard water line in the toilet was glaring at me, making me feel like a disgusting human being living in filth. I had to get rid of it. A kitchen sponge and a dish cloth were both ruined in my attempts. Finally, after countless hours of research and many sleepless nights, I had my answer: The Pumie. As soon as it arrived I was on my hands and knees scrubbin' that bowl. After it was done I was stood over my toilet with the same posture as a successful climber reaching the summit of Mt. Everest. I had defeated the hard water line. The satisfaction I had by accomplishing this otherwise mundane task made me realize I had truly entered adulthood. But, I did not stop there. Hard water marks around the bathroom sink drain? Gone. Hard water lines around the kitchen faucet? GTFO. The Pumie is truly a marvel to behold and I will be eternally grateful for it's help in vanquishing the hard water lines that would have made my mother disown me." —Cory Heslington

Promising review: "Wow! I don't usually get too excited over dusting tools, but am shocked by the amount of cobwebs and dust this picks up without having to stop and clean in between corners and shelves. The color, lightweight feel, and versatility of angles make it a breeze to use in high and low places. Definitely worth every penny!" —Annie
Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $14.97.
Promising review: "If you have a Subzero fridge, you know the struggle is real when it comes to keeping it clean. It's a different type of stainless steel and shows all product residue. Then I found this stuff. Oh wow! A few seconds of polishing and it looks amazing!! it has never looked this good, this shiny, and this clean! Best product ever!" —Katerina
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
Promising review: "Yea! No more bending or reaching! This extendable scrubber is great for large bathtubs! I would almost fall in trying to reach across the tub to clean it. With the OXO Good Grips, I can adjust the length and clean away. The extension is sturdy, so it doesn't bend when extended. The scrubber swivels so it can adapt to all areas/angles of the tub. Though I haven't used it in the shower yet, I'm sure it will be just as great there. I'm very pleased with the purchase!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I hate to say it but I guess I'll be doing a lot more cleaning of my wood floors now. This is so easy to use and does a really nice job, so I guess I no longer have an excuse not to clean. Thanks Swiffer — I think." —Barry Hayes

Promising review: "I have an old tub that I can't replace (not remodeling this bathroom yet). It was gray and I had scrubbed it with comet, bleach, etc. Nothing really got it clean. Till this. I was so excited by the result of this sponge that I used two up completely in one cleaning frenzy: floors, tub cabinets, everything. And it has a light, clean fragrance. I ordered a bulk pack the next day." —K. Tekavek
Get the window washer from Amazon for $11.78 and the extender pole from Amazon for $10.
Promising review: "This works very well for windows on house or the car. The squeegee is straight and leaves no streaks, which is a major problem with many cheaper units. The sponge is pretty absorbent and will hold a lot of fluid without needing to re-wet in between windows." —Joey L.

Promising review: "My girlfriend has a keen nose for mildew, which meant we were throwing out kitchen sponges well before they were worn out. I came across these and was very happy with the first ones we tried. Absolutely no odor, even after several weeks worth of usage. The scrubber will break down long before it starts to smell. A definite winner in my book!" —Amazon Customer
Get the kit from Amazon for $10.29.
Promising review: "This is a game changer! Had the hardest time finding something to clean my stove without scratching the surface. This thing works wonders. You can use the yellow sponge that comes with it or just use paper towels. Works great. It is also good on many surfaces, not just the stovetop. I recommended it to my family and they all loved it!" —BaiSam
Get the set from Amazon for $14.95.
Promising review: (I know it's super long, but it has great cleaning ideas!) "Brilliant product! So far, I've used it in four areas that were giving me trouble and driving me nuts. First, I applied the liquid to my smooth-top range, quickly removed all spill remnants, and when I rinsed the surface, it gleamed — much better than any cleaner I've tried so far. Next, I used the cleanser on my bathroom faucets, which looked terrible. They had water spots that wouldn't fade with anything I tried. I was seriously considering replacing them as they looked dated and old, but I made a paste with the cleanser and used the non-scratch dish cloth, and with virtually no scrubbing at all, every water spot completely vanished! Then, I applied the cleanser to my glass shower door, which was heavily coated in soap scum and water spots, streaks, and film. It took a bit of scrubbing with the non-scratch cloth, but the door was dramatically improved by about 75%. Finally, I used the cleanser in my toilet bowls, which had hard water discoloration, sort of a dark yellowish-orange color where the water comes into the toilet bowl. I just sprinkled it onto the stains and left to do something else, intending to come back and use the toilet bowl brush to scrub the stains; however, when I returned, they were all GONE. The stains had completely vanished! I was truly gobsmacked! I didn't even scrub the areas. The stains had not budged with foaming bleach sprays, cleansers with bleach, etc., so I am more than pleased with Bar Keeper's Friend. I'm planning to keep some on hand from now on, and I have recommended this product to my family." —History Chaser

Promising review: "In love with the cleaner — WORTH THE MONEY! I have steam cleaned our 3,000-square-foot home, upholstery, and two vehicles since this arrived last Thursday (one week ago). We have a toddler, a baby, three dogs and a cat. We have only lived here a year (brand new home) and the things that came out of this carpet are insane. The cleaner has surpassed my expectations! When looking to have our home cleaned by a steam service including upholstery, we were given an estimate of $400. If you look at carpet recommendations for cleaning to make the life of the carpet longer, experts recommend having a professional cleaning done every six months (if you have pets, every 4-6 weeks). You do the math. Our family can have a professional clean anytime I want and we have saved thousands of dollars over what will be the lifetime of our carpet. Three small bottles of solution came with the machine, and I still haven't had to go buy any yet! Our carpets are fluffy again!" —Kathryn Leanne Follett

Promising review: "I live in an apartment so the carpet quality is not the greatest. I had a stain that occurred from a garbage can liner leaking a long line of... I don't know what... across a four-foot piece of carpeting. No home remedies worked. Bought a steam cleaner I had been wanting and this product. I am totally amazed at how well it worked! The stain is gone. I need to add that I had tried EVERYTHING with a lot of elbow grease and nothing else worked. Whatever it was in my carpet this product was removed completely after two applications in two days!" —Cat D.

Promising review: "My laptop hasn't been so clean since I bought it! Much better than compressed air cleaning. Using the rubbery end, you can even clean off the finger-tracker; and using the little brush, you get out all those annoying little crumbs and pieces of stuff that both impede your keyboard performance and make it look dirty. I wish I would have taken before and after pictures---the difference is astonishing! I was skeptical, but this little tool is worth the price." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I will NEVER use any other wipes. The 'scrubby' side is a must have that once you've had it, you know you cant go without!" —CandieFunerburke
