1. The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll save your sanity when your pint-sized Picasso decides your entryway walls are their new canvas. Need proof that it really works? Look at how effectively this 99% natural cleaner buffed away Sharpie marks, leaving this wall looking like a minimalist masterpiece.
Promising review: "You most likely saw this on TikTok. If all the videos showing you that it’s a magical cleaning paste didn’t sell you, then let me just tell you: IT WORKS. My 3-year-old Picasso attacked my hallway walls with permanent markers! It's completely GONE. Which is AMAZING!! I was just about to give up. My hubby even used it to clean his headlights. Which to my amazement worked perfectly as well. It's a beyond universal cleaning product." —Katelynne M.

2. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop can clean your floors so well you may be dizzy from the dazzling results. Thanks to this, your kids can (because we know they will) eat off the floor!
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 who 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

3. A cult-classic stain remover for parents who have had one too many "chocolate or poop?" situations to still be messing around with mysterious stains. Use this spray for messes you'd rather have disappear *before* discovering what they were.
Promising review: "This stuff is magical! It’s super easy to use, and it works on almost any stain! My daughter made fluffy slime today, and by the time she was done, there was purple fluffy slime all over her dress. I scrubbed it with this stain remover, and threw it in the wash thinking there’s no way the stains will get out. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the dress out, and there wasn’t a single remnant of the slime on it. It was a laundry miracle! Love this stuff and will continue to use it for everything!" —Amazon Customer

Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action!
Promising review: “There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can’t live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We’ve got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.” —Carobnty

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

Promising review: "I’ve had my car for six years. two kids in that time and let me tell you, we went with a dark interior to hide some of the dirt and stains. BUT it’s been way overdue for a deep clean. This stuff is AMAZING!! Old milk spills, dirt and mud, even plum baby food pouches stained the grey ceiling — OxiClean couldn’t get it out; but this did!

Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos

9. A shoe cleaner, because your child has never met a puddle of mud they haven't impulsively jumped in. You're only gonna need a few squirts on a wet brush and a gentle scrub to wash away all the dirt and grime on your kiddo's favorite kicks.
Promising review: "OMG, I had no idea Pink Miracle existed! I cleaned my son's sneakers in a jiffy! They look brand-new. I also used them on my suede heels and they look new again! I can't recommend this product enough! Very easy — just apply a little elbow grease and your kid's dirty shoes will be sparkling again." —Amazon Customer

10. A bleach-free weekly shower spray — this both cleans your shower *and* prevents soap scum buildup in the future. Once a week you'll spray this in the shower before bed, go snooze, wash it off in the a.m. and then your shower will be shining, shimmering, and splendid. Did I just use an Aladdin reference to describe a clean shower? Oof. I've been watching too much Disney.
11. A toilet target light with a motion sensor and clear projection — this is sure to make potty training a bright spot in your child's life (and hopefully make peeing everywhere *but* the toilet bowl a little less exciting).
To apply, simply clean the area with an alcohol wipe before attaching the light. Take the sticker off the back and press firmly against the lid for 90 seconds. That's it! Batteries are included.
Promising review: "I got this thinking 'Dear lord I hope this works. If I drop my pants in pee again or have to scrub another wall I am going to go insane!' I thought the price was a bit much but it is OK now that I know it works! I don’t know why people are saying theirs don’t stay on. I’m truly hoping they cleaned the area first...but anyways. All I did was clean the surface of the lid with some rubbing alcohol and stuck this light on, like it said to do. My husband and son are in and out of the bathroom several times a day. Slamming the lid closed. Lights on and off all the time. This still lights up bright as ever and it’s going on three weeks. Now when I sit I sometimes might lean back into it but it’s really not an issue. I'm just overwhelmed with joy because this target works and I do not have to scrub any extra walls, floors, or pants!!! You better believe I’m getting one for every darn bathroom in my house!!!" —NoRestForTheWicked
Get it from Amazon for $34.88.

Promising review: "I had a stained mattress that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give this a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even remember what caused the stains, but it removed them! I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" —Little Greek
Get it from Amazon for $14.98.
14. A jetted tub cleaner for jets that are filled with dead skin cells, dirt, aaaand a lifetime supply of bath crayon buildup.
To use, just run your water, pour in some cleaner, and start your jets. It only takes 15 minutes!
Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! I first ran my tub with the solution, then drained it and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

If you use cloth diapers, this cleaner works wonders as a pre-wash spray to clean and deodorize soiled inserts.
Promising review: "I’m a professional housecleaner and I love this stuff if you have children under 10 or any pets this stuff is a must. It’s my favorite cleaner for eliminating urine smells and actually just cleans good in general. It is one of the more expensive eco-friendly cleaning products on the market so I try not to use it more than I need to. This larger bulk container is a pretty decent deal. Do not use it on limestone, It will strip the finish off." —bumslie22
Get it from Amazon for $31.98.
16. A microwave cleaner — it's gonna save your microwave from your messiest leftover nights. Bring it on, spaghetti.

Promising review: "I had a BAD problem with my clothes smelling sour after sweating in them. Someone suggested I try powdered detergent, so I gave it a shot. Turns out, IT WORKS. This stuff does great, doesn't take much, and has a very mild mint smell (not really noticeable after the wash, just when the tub is filling and you put it in at first). My wife and kids have VERY sensitive skin, and this has caused zero problems with them. Molly's has saved me over $200 in buying new clothes because after a couple washes in hot water with this, my clothes now have zero smell to them, just clean fabric. It's the only detergent we use now for all our laundry." —Moose
Get a pack of 120 from Amazon for $22.99 (available in nine scents).

Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I’ve used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn’t! It smelled great the whole time! I’m hooked!!" —Megan Davis

Promising review: "This stain remover is the absolute best. I saw people post about it on the Internet and decided to try it since I have two young kids that make giant messes on their clothes. It literally removes the stain in front of your eyes. My kid got raspberries in my off-white cardigan and it came out within seconds of me spraying this on my cardigan. I’ve used it so many times after and it works every single time. I will definitely be purchasing more when I run out." —Katherine Efstathiou

The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" —Emily Heilman

To use: fill the sink with hot water, add a few pumps of soap, let soak, take a power nap, and rinse out.
Promising review: "I would come home from work and spend 20+ minutes taking apart and cleaning my pump parts and bottles. I saw a review on this stuff and decided to give it a try, and I am SO happy I did. I can come home now, fill up the sink with hot water, put in a couple of pumps, leave the parts soaking, then rinse! Instead of washing everything every single day, now I wash with hot water and soap 2x a week. None of the pump parts or bottles have a film or smell to it afterwards and my daughter still drinks out of the bottles just fine! Definitely worth it if you want to save some time. LOVE THIS STUFF!" —Autumn

Promising review: "As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand new." —Christi Lambertson

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.
