    I Tried 6 Products That The CleanTok Community Loves And Here Are The Results

    The proof is in the pudding!

    1. A Scrub Mommy sponge that's the levelled-up spouse of the popular Scrub Daddy sponge. One side has a rougher texture for scrubbing, and the other is softer and spongier for cleaning.

    I've been seeing this smiley sponge used to clean everything from showers to stovetops and although I never thought I'd spend this much on a sponge, I actually really like it.

    I chose to buy the Scrub Mommy over the Scrub Daddy because I like that it has the same hard material on one side, but also has a softer sponge side for gentler jobs.

    The pink material is so cool because it becomes softer as you increase the temperature of the water, so you can control the stiffness depending on how hard you need to scrub. Another really neat thing about this sponge is that the eyes and mouth are great for gripping (your fingers will slide right in) and for cleaning cutlery. So cute!

    Get it from Amazon Canada for $12.50 (originally $13.99). Also available in multipacks.

    2. A tub of The Pink Stuff that's abrasive enough to get out tough stains or grease, but gentle enough to not damage your surfaces. A little goes a long way, so the tub should last you a long while!

    I cringed a little every time I used to open my oven because it was so gross and greasy. With the holidays coming up, I figured it was about time to give it a proper cleaning, so I picked up a tub of The Pink Stuff.

    I just scooped up a glob of the cream with a rag and rubbed in circles around the oven (not too hard, especially on the glass) and the paste really scraped off all the splatters. I mean, check out that after photo!

    An added bonus about this stuff is that it doesn't have a chemical scent like a lot of other cleaners (the tub says it's made of 99% natural ingredients). It doesn't really smell like anything, actually.

    Get it from Amazon Canada for $23.65.

    3. A bottle of foaming Dawn Powerwash that honestly feels like a cheat code when it comes to doing dishes. If you're a ~let it soak~ type of person, just spray a few spritzes of this stuff and any food residue will basically rinse right off.

    I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most diligent when it comes to washing all my dishes right after a meal.

    When I have a few (okay, a bunch) of stuff in the sink, I'll usually just pour in some soap and fill it with hot water until I work up the energy to wash them all.

    This product is so cool because the nozzle foams up the soap so you won't need a whole sink full of water. You can just spray it on, and it'll stick and break down all the food remnants. Then you can just rinse — no scrubbing needed!

    Get it from Amazon Canada for $4.99.

    4. A TubShroom drain protector that'll save you from spending $$$ on a plumber visit. It'll catch all of the hair and soap residue that comes off in the shower, so it won't clog your pipes (you can just wipe it clean after).

    I've always had brittle hair that breaks easily, and it feels like I lose half my head in the shower (sorry you had to see this picture). 

    My poor fiancé was getting tired of the tub flooding and having to bust out the drain snakes every couple of months, so we ordered this little gadget as a solution. It works great to catch all of the hair and even bits of soap while still letting the water flow through. 

    Just make sure you remember to clean it, so your fiancé doesn't have to 😉.

    Get it from Amazon Canada for $14.99.

    5. A jewellery cleaning pen that'll restore all of your most precious treasures to their former glory. The bristles can get into every nook and cranny, so even your most intricate baubles can shine again.

    May Ning/BuzzFeed

    I recently got engaged and have been obsessed with finding ways to take care of my new ring.

    I decided on this little cleaning pen and first tried it on an old pair of gold hoops that have turned a questionable colour in the inside (LOL ew, I know). It did an amazing job, and I was so happy to see that bling sparkle again.

    Get it from Amazon Canada for $16.98.

    6. And lastly, a trio of Affresh washer cleaning tablets that'll get rid of all of the musty odours in your washing machine. It'll also help your appliance perform better, since it'll break down any gunk or buildup lurking in the filter, drum, and everywhere else.

    May Ning/BuzzFeed

    My clothes were starting to get a musty smell even after being freshly washed, so I knew it was probably time to clean my washing machine.

    I tried the vinegar and baking soda hack but aside from making me gag, it just didn't work that well. These tablets come in handy individually-wrapped tablets that you can just throw in. Put on a hot cycle and say goodbye to stanky shirts for good.

    Get a pack of three from Amazon Canada for $7.97 (originally $9.97).
