1. A bottle of Quick N Brite fireplace cleaner designed to remove soot, creosote, ash, and any other grime that's built up on your stone, brick, tile, or rock fireplace. If you've already "hung up your stockings by the chimney with care," this is really the final step to make sure Santa is impressed from the get-go. Just wet the (included) brush, apply the gel, and scrub!
Promising review: "Cleaned discolored tile in front of the fireplace, which is used almost every night during the winter. House is 70 years old. Followed the directions given on the product. Tile looks brand-new with very little effort!!" —kellyMReads
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
Quick N Brite is a family-owned small biz based in the Pacific Northwest, btw!
2. A pet hair-removing roller with a patented brush design (and *no* adhesive strips) to rid your lovely black sofa of all your furry friend's shedding in a quick roll. Put one of these out with the milk and cookies — I bet Santa would appreciate some help with all that reindeer fur on his red suit.
Promising review: "This thing works amazingly well! We have two cats and a dog, and all of them continuously shed all over our couches. I was continuously having to take out the vacuum to get rid of the fur. Not anymore! With this device, it takes seconds to clean our chairs and couches, even better than I could with the vacuum. I'm not joking when I say that this is the best thing I've purchased in the whole of 2023!" —Matt K.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
3. A bottle of almond-scented Method hardwood floor cleaner to make the floors that have just lost their *sparkle* look shiny and smell fantastic (seriously, people looooove the smell) — just squirt and mop, no rinsing needed! Use it Christmas eve, and (according to reviewers) it'll smell like you just baked the cookies sitting out for the big guy to enjoy!
Promising review: "Oh man, this stuff smells so good! Like almond cookies. And it works like a charm; the floors always look great afterward and there's no rinsing necessary." —Jess
Promising review: "I own a house-cleaning business so I am always looking for the best products. I've tried many products (including non-green products in my own home) and this is my absolute favorite. Many wood floor cleaners leave a film and can be sticky, but not this. Just squirt and mop. I've tried the other Method scents and they work great, but the almond is my favorite. My clients always rave about the scent and often ask what I use and where to get it. Absolutely love this!" —Jamie Parsons
Get it from Amazon for $13.
4. Sprayway glass cleaner, which is reportedly the Very Best glass cleaner — unlike liquid formulas, the spray-on foam actually *stays in place* where you spray it to make wiping away streaks and dust easier than ever. Make sure that living room mirror is shining bright so Father Christmas can straighten his belt buckle before leaving.
Promising review: "I will never buy another glass cleaner! It works amazingly! No streaks or smears, very easy to use. It's foam and you only have to go over the glass one TIME. I don’t like the scent, but it doesn’t linger long. I introduced this product to my family and friends and everyone loves it. I’ve never been more excited about a glass cleaner! Trust me, it’s worth it." —george P.
Get a pack of three cans from Amazon for $10.47.
5. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner to remove streaks, marks, residue, and fingerprints from all of your appliances with one wipe of the included microfiber cloth. And it helps keep fingerprints and smudges away — reviewers say the shine lasts for days, meaning if Santa needs a milk refill, he won't even leave a trace on the fridge door. Magic!
Promising review: "If you have a Sub-Zero 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 the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95.
6. A pack of duster sponges to make removing dust from baseboards and other surfaces a breeze. Just dampen, and wipe whatever surface that needs dusting — all the dust (and even pet hair!) will accumulate on the ridged surface. Just rinse clean and you're done. You'll get a white-glove clean in a snap — and as you know, The Santa Suit happens to include white gloves!
I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!
Promising review: "These are exactly like the Scrub Daddy's. Only hella cheaper." —kr425
Promising review: " I had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name brand damp duster except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fav thing." —onon
Get it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color packs).
7. Or a reusable duster pad compatible with Swiffer handles if you prefer a traditional duster. These are made with eight layers of fleece to grab + trap all the dust specks that are always accumulating on surfaces with ease, thanks to the magic of static. You'll save St. Nick a few sneezes for sure.
Promising review: "I love these! They are really thick and they wipe up the dust easily. I actually bought three so I could keep one on while the other is being washed. I had no issues with getting it on my holder. Glad to have found these!" —Rebecca Jo
Get it from TS Designs on Etsy for $5.49 (available in 10 colors).
TS Designs is a Michigan-based small business making reusable home goods.
8. And the Baseboard Buddy, an As-Seen-On-TV gadget that'll come through for you. This guy is lightweight and has an extendable telescoping handle and 360° swivel so you can wipe surfaces clean with the contoured microfiber head *without* having to bend over or get down on your hands and knees. I'm sure the elves in the North Pole will be working on their very own prototype for next Christmas.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse!
Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
9. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok- (and reviewer-) beloved cleaning product that basically...works Christmas magic-level miracles! Name your mess, and this mildly abrasive paste will take care of business — including but not limited to bathroom tiles, sinks, stovetops, painted walls, grills, and outdoor furniture.
How effective? Well it's commonly likened to the Magic Eraser in paste form!
Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand-new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
10. Dawn Powerwash if you feel like leaving dishes to "soak" in the sink overnight might just earn you a spot on the naughty list. This borderline magical spray-on dish soap BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes to make cleaning up after dinner — even if you've cooked a Christmas feast for the whole extended family — quick and easy so the whole kitchen is spotless by midnight.
Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. I'm not joking when I say that the first time I used Dawn Powerwash on a lasagna pan, I almost cried. I will never be without it!
Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new - the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M.
Promising review: "I bought this stuff because my sister swears by it. I've seen the commercials and thought, yeah sure... But first off, the fresh scent smells amazing without being overpowering. Secondly, it cleans oily, greasy stuff like a dream! My husband used my stockpot on his grill burner, resulting it in being COVERED in black sooty stuff. And everything it touched also received a healthy dose of soot. I initially tried the normal Dawn dish soap and while it did clean it up, it was smearing it and not easy to clean. I pulled out this stuff, sprayed a bit on the pot. BOOM, it was literally clean. Seriously, awesome stuff." —Laura Pirkle
Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.
11. A self-cleaning toilet system (adorably called Flush 'n' Sparkle) with a replaceable bleach cartridge — each one lasts up to three months — to keep your porcelain throne shining bright and smelling clean with every flush. And the best part = the whole thing installs in as little as *one minute*. Kris Kringle might need a bathroom break after...millions of glasses of milk, after all.
Promising review: "Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning, it was infuriating and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2-3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured why not so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now and from what I'm seeing I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy, if you have a hard water build up issues do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first just to be sure but I think you will be happy :)." —nima bean
Get the kit from Amazon for $10 (two-packs of refills are available for $10.98).
12. And to remove any residue that's currently in the bowl before installing the Flush 'n' Sparkle, a Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubby heads *preloaded* with cleaner so you can clean the whole bowl with one hand — and *one* product.
Promising review: "You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used up brush sitting in your throne room? You clean your bathroom but then you put that sucker down in its place and it's just like, mocking you. It's never truly immaculate. Never knowing true cleanliness. Fear no more. Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom. Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy. Clorox Toilet Wand is the answer to your prayers if you want an easy, deep cleaning, toss-away-after-you're-done type contraption for that porcelain throne of yours. Fast, cheap, and easy. Just like.... How we like to clean." —Juliana
Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $11.98 — and get a 30-pack of scrubber refills from Amazon for $13.25)
13. A deep-cleaning brush duo with a powerful scrubbing head for banishing grout discoloration and a wiping blade to reach the crevices, crannies, and nooks that never get cleaned. With a gifting operation at that scale, you know Santa has an eye for detail, so we don't want to let him down with dirty grout or grime around the drains.
Promising review: "This set is the best friend of those who hate cleaning bathroom fixtures. Instead of scrubbing and scraping, you can give a few comfortable whisks with one of these brushes and the job is done. The brushes are particularly good at quick-cleaning the back of the faucets where you normally can't see what you are doing. Also good at keeping the silver drain rings shiny. Couldn't be happier with this set. Recommend it highly." —Rodger
Get the set of two tools from Amazon for $8.99 (available in orange and blue).
14. A Bissell CleanView bagless vacuum designed with a specialized brush roll for picking up embedded pet (and human) hair, powerful suction on carpet and hard floors, and an easy-empty tank so you don't have to (gag) touch all of that icky stuff. Brb, updating the lyrics of "Santa Baby" to include this vacuum...what rhymes with Bissell?
Whistle? I'll keep thinking.
Promising review: "BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER BOUGHT! I moved into a brand new apartment complex that was just built and after being there for a week with three cats I decided to vacuum the carpet and rugs. TO SAY MY JAW DROPPED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. The suction without a doubt is the best one I’ve ever had (including multiple Dysons). It is light weight to push and going from carpet to wood floors is amazing. The attachments make vacuuming my couch so easy to where I’m done in under five minutes!!! BUY THIS VACUUM TODAY!!!" —Skylar Blick
Get it from Amazon for $118.44.
15. Or a Roomba robot vacuum that'll do the work *for* you, navigating around your home, picking up crumbs, pet hair, dust, and anything else that keeps your house from feeling clean on a regular basis so you have time to make cookies for the big guy from scratch and have clean floors by Christmas Eve.
It runs for up to 90 minutes before automatically heading to the dock to recharge.
Promising review: "Best purchase ever. Purchased to clean on wooden floor. I am amazed by how well it cleans the finest of dust. Wonder what took me so long to purchase it. Best buck for money. If you need a neat place, this is your best bet. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!" —BK
Promising review: "Best thing I ever bought in my life! I can NOT believe I lasted so long without Roomba. I wasted years of my life vacuuming on weekends instead of resting! You start it and let it do its thing. Will remind you when it’s full and knows to go home when the battery is low. Does a great job with dog hair (we have a Collie who sheds like [wild]). I only need to stick a dust swiffer in tight corners where Roomba can’t fit once a week… maybe. It is an amazing tool! P.S. I don’t use the app. I just like to be present when it works." —C. Nistor
Get it from Amazon for $245.
16. Or! A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop that does *both at the same time* (gasp), so it can clean up Christmas cookie crumbs and muddy footprints in a single pass. It always uses clean water for mopping (dirty water goes in a separate tank) and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. And unlike regular mops, this guy retains 90% of dirty water so your floors will be clean and dry in just minutes.
It also self-propels so they just need to steer, no hard pushing!
Promising review: "Best thing I've bought in years. I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen and entryway and hall before self cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time) I would buy another." —Tsippi
Promising review: "This is literally the best thing I have ever bought. My daughter is starting to crawl around and I have three cats so I wanted to make sure the floors were clean for her. This saves so much time and it works so well. My floors feel so clean and smell amazing! It’s so easy to clean and put back together. 10/10" —Kaylin Hoggle
Get it from Amazon for $279.99.
17. A Iron Out rust stain remover that'll make Kris Kringle wonder if you have your very own team of magical elves when he notices the orange stains that have *disappeared* since last Christmas. You can use it on interior *and* exterior stains from the bathroom to the concrete walkways outside. The formula clings to the stain — you don't even need to scrub!
Promising review: "This product is nothing short of a miracle! I moved some old patio furniture to the trash area and it left horrible large rust stains on the drive way as well as the patio. I tried five different products when this was recommended. I could have saved a LOT of money on useless remedies as well as my time. I sprayed this on the rust stains and watched them disappear. It was amazing." —Eileen, FL
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
18. Rocco & Roxie's odor-eliminating spray, an enzyme-based potion that feeds on the stains *and* stinks your pets leave behind (we love our pets! we love their messes...less) on tons of surfaces, including carpet, flooring, furniture, litter boxes and kennels, and more. But don't worry — even though he can't smell your pet anymore, Santa won't forget to put treats and toys in their stocking.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby 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: "Very hard to find ANY fault in this amazing product. It's easy to use and smells very fresh! I have a rug under our dining table where our Chow likes to tinkle pretty regularly. I was cleaning with a steam carpet cleaner at least once a week — and avoiding the rug altogether most of the time — but the smell never went away and neither did our Chow, even after using Arm & Hammer carpet deodorizer! But a few sprays of Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator and POOF! Smell is ALL GONE and Chow has lost interest. I give this product 5 STARS but it honestly deserves more than that! Will buy again for certain!" —ICH
Get a gallon from Amazon for $49.97.
19. A three-part microfiber wand so you can dust your blinds, air-conditioner vent, and any of those other narrow, hard-to-reach areas quicker and easier than ever before, because every minute counts this time of year. When you're done, just take the covers off and pop 'em right in the washing machine!
Promising review: "I can’t give this enough stars! You see these gimmicky type things and wonder if they work. This does, and is perfect in every way. Aside from my own house, I clean for others, and this has easily cut my blind cleaning time in half. Which is perfect for such a tedious job. It gets to the edge of wide blinds. When you’re done, just throw them in the laundry. Worth every penny and then some." —AM Kipp
Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue and green).
20. A set of three scrubbing attachments you can simply add to any power drill to make cleaning your tub, floor, appliances, or even the wheels of your car ridiculously fast and easy. Father Christmas himself just might want to borrow it for his sled.
Some reviewers have reported having trouble refilling the pen, but this reviewer has a helpful explanation of how to refill them. Reviewers also say these are *great* for ensuring crisp lines when working with stencils!
Promising review: "I constantly have to pester the hubby to help with cleaning the bathroom. Then I bought this and he’s like Tim 'the tool man' Taylor. I guess he just needed more power??? He cleans the bathroom without even being asked because he likes the drill brushes. They work well. The grout lines are clean. It doesn’t take him long. Best money I've ever spent! LOL." —Heather N
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six brush types for different surfaces).
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who needed a way to clean without causing him harm.
21. A 🙌 no-scrub, no-wipe 🙌 Wet & Forget cleaner so you can keep your shower clean and mildew-free by spraying just *once a week* — it even helps prevent soap scum buildup over time. If you've got several guest bathrooms to clean before having family stay for the holiday, this'll help!
Best invention ever? Possibly. Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments.
Promising review: "This stuff is like magic! It has changed my life. I am a disabled senior and had always dreaded cleaning the shower. Now it is a pleasure! I just spray the shower down before bed and rinse it in the morning. That's it! Leaves everything sparkling clean! I don't even have to squeegee the shower doors! I can't say enough about this wonderful product. I very highly recommend! I will be giving it out to my kids and family as gifts. It is the best product I have run across in many years! Get some today! You won't be disappointed!" —Lynne888g
Get it from Amazon for $20.52.
22. A crystal chandelier cleaner with a DRIP-DRY formula. That's right! You spray it on...and let it drip... No wiping needed! Just think about how gorgeously it'll gleam in the light of your Christmas tree...
And it's designed not to tarnish the metal on your light fixtures either. Just make sure your fixture is off and the bulbs are cool, then spray a generous amount on — you can place a towel underneath to catch any drips, and you're done!
Promising review: "Works as promised. Our one year old crystal chandelier was looking a bit shabby. Sprayed on and could begin seeing results as it dripped off and dried." —Nancy T
Get it from Amazon for $22.89.
23. Garbage disposal cleaning tablets that'll fizz up to blast off any stuck-on food particles, leaving a lasting lemony fresh scent instead of those gross sink odors that tend to linger...and linger... Drop it in, run your disposal, and you're done. You'll want that baby operating at peak performance if you're hosting everyone for Christmas dinner.
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
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $10.96.
24. A mold & mildew removing gel, because you don't need to get your whole shower stall redone when this is in your life. Just squeeze out and let this non-drip gel work its magic overnight — NO s c r u b b i n g. Santa's not the only one who gets a miraculous amount of work done in one night!
It clings to tile, meaning it'll STAY PUT, killing mold & mildew and keeping it from reappearing later down the road.
Promising review: "No amount of Tilex, bathroom cleaner, mold/mildew remover, etc. could get my shower door molding/sealant looking clean. I had already contacted someone to come redo the molding/seal around my constantly moldy/discolored shower door. Until this! This stuff was magic. I was shocked when I saw the results. The discoloration/mold was all but gone after 1 overnight treatment. I am the biggest skeptic, but saw the reviews, so I gave this a chance. I hope it lasts!!" —Katherine Goode
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $24.99.
25. A miracle-adjacent carpet stain remover so you can banish wine stains, pet stains, and what-the-heck-even-is-that stains — WITHOUT rinsing or vacuuming. If the kiddos have made a mess of the carpet with last year's gifted art supplies, they'll have a blank canvas for this year's!
And btw: it also works on upholstery, woodwork, and even walls.
Promising review: "This stain remover is so easy to use and really gets the job done. I have two dogs who are constantly getting tracking in dirt onto my rugs and couch. This has cleaned up anything they can track in. It's also taken coffee and red wine stains out of my rugs. It's a true miracle worker. I've never found another product that gets the job done like Folex." —Leah
Get a bottle from Amazon for $6.65.
26. A dishwasher cleaner and disinfectant to remove limescale, rust, grease, and other nasty buildup so your machine runs more efficiently than ever — while you just sit back and relax. If St. Nick decides to put away his own plate and glass (what a saint!), he won't be hit by that gross old dishwasher smell.
Promising reviews: "I’m so glad I discovered this cleanser. Plumbing backed up…the smell lingered after several cycles with bleach, baking soda, vinegar and dishwasher detergent. I almost gave in to purchasing a new dishwasher before discovering Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner. It worked after the first use. I now use it monthly." —lejay
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.50.
27. A sink cleaner and polish formulated to use on stainless steel AND porcelain sinks (plus cast iron, corian, acrylic, and more) to restore that just-like-new shine *and* protect against further damage. It creates a water repellant barrier, so instead of everyone's eggnog, gravy, and red wine just sitting in the bottom of the sink, it'll actually rinse clean with ease.
I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here.
Promising review: "I only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible. My cleaning person came Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and quick rinse, it looks new. I’ve ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it’s honestly perfect.)" —EdUK8
Get the value size from Amazon for $26 or the smaller size for $10.85.
28. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser (it's pre-mixed so it makes less of a mess than the original powder). Seriously. It works on SO. MANY. SURFACES — sinks, cookware, stainless steel, faucets, countertops, tubs, toilets, grout, and more — so you can get to work and see results with only one product. That roasting pan you cooked a turkey in last year that's seen better days? It'll look sparkling clean by Christmas Eve.
Promising review: "Hands down the BEST cleanser for sinks and tubs I have ever used. I bought his because the Comet bleach cleaner was not getting rid of some stains in my tub (regular use stains and a little ring from a cup). After two applications of Bar Keeper's Friend, one overnight and one for a couple of hours, the stains and 95% of the ring are gone. And it smells a thousand times better than Comet or bleach. Do not hesitate to buy." —SI801

29. A Cerama-Bryte cooktop cleaning kit, which includes cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of baked- and caked-on food from any smooth range — no matter how long it's been there. If "new stove" was on your Christmas list this year, you might just be able to cross that off.
Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well every home remedy suggestion and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it’s incredible. 5 stars+++" —Implied Queens
Get the kit from Amazon for $14.98.
30. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for everyone who feels like the Grinch when they see those cloudy glass shower doors, spot-covered fixtures, tile and grout, and more. It even works on pools! If you're not convinced, just hear from one reviewer: "Step one: Look at the pictures. Step two: Buy a lifetime supply immediately."
Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
31. A 20-pack of extra thick melamine cleaning pads that'll tackle your toughest messes — from your sneakers to your stove to your walls — just with a little water and elbow grease. Everything will be cleaner than ever, and you'll save money compared to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers — I call that a win-win. And btw, several reviewers give them out as Christmas gifts, and it's not too late to do that yourself!
Promising review: "These are the best. Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Won't buy those anymore and these will last me a very long time. I scrubbed and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." —miguel mendez
Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie

32. Microfiber cleaning cloths that'll become your best friends when it comes to *streak-free* cleaning — use them on your car, stainless steel, countertops, wood furniture, floors (reusable Swiffer sweepers, anyone?), metal fixtures, and wayyy more. You'll get a better clean and waste fewer paper towels and disposable wipes — that's nice list material for sure.
It comes with two kinds of cloths (four each) — clean the glass with a damp green cloth, then follow up with the dry blue cloth. Shiny!
Promising review: "I couldn't get my windows clean using Windex and newsprint and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I've ever cleaned. It's simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn't wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. Yeah, I know....I have an exciting life, right? Buy these now! I wish I'd had them all along. They are truly, truly amazing." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home

34. Puracy's all-in-one cleaning concentrate you can dilute and use on just about everything — floors, countertops, dishes, windows, laundry, and more — so you don't have to keep swapping out bottles in your linen closet. If you want every surface to shine as bright as Rudolph's nose with less effort, this is it.
Promising review: "I have been using Puracy products since I bought a bottle of body wash for my kids last year. It opened my eyes to a high quality, highly effective, well priced, awesome smelling, natural, new (to me) brand! I am slowly switching my products over to anything that is available, made by Puracy. I had gotten the green tea and lime all purpose cleaner and decided to purchase the lemongrass this time. I love it so much!! I use it for every application in the house. It has a subtle and natural scent that I really appreciate. The cleaner lightly foams when used for brisk scrubbing and I feel that it helps achieve a super efficient clean. I don't have time to make cleaners like I used to, so this product is the perfect replacement. It saves me a lot of time, money and it works much better than anything I used to make myself. I love that this is a family owned company as well, that is a huge plus in my eyes!" —Ashley Beauchesne

35. Chomp!, a stain remover designed to pull up those annoying oil- and petroleum-based messes from concrete and brick, so your outdoor space looks refreshed! Just cover the stain, let dry, and you'll be able to brush it away (like chalk dust!) to find the stain gone. Santa can see everything from your roof, just saying.
Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand new paver patio and I tried dawn and the Dawn power wash. Neither touched it. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well I'll be damned because this took the spots right up! No evidence we ever spilled anything! Id buy it again." —Susan
