    Just 37 Cleaning Products That’ll Help You Deal With Bugs, Dust, Spills, Stains, And More

    Adulthood's greatest bane: cleaning — but you gotta do it.

    1. Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner that looks like Mike Wazowski but is no monster — it'll be your bestie. Instead of putting your tired arms to work trying to scrub out all ~oopsies~, this compact cleaner uses warm water and a specialized liquid cleaner to remove all stains from mud, food, pets, you name it. Say goodbye to sticky messes that creepy crawlies love!

    Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99

    Promising review: "I bought this because I have a cat with a sensitive stomach and, in a house with almost all hardwood flooring, he chooses to only throw up in the room with all WHITE carpeting. The carpet had so many stains from futile clean-up attempts, I thought it was ruined. However I bought this steam cleaner, gave it a try, and the carpet looks brand new!! It was almost fun cleaning up the stains and watching them disappear in seconds. Steamer is super easy to use, very portable, and stores away nicely in my laundry cabinet. Absolutely recommend to anyone ready to give up on their stained carpet." —Carlos 

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59.  

    2. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner so you can save your arms from an unwarranted workout session. It requires no elbow grease — just spray your shower once a week, wait 8–12 hours, and then rinse with warm water. Say bye-bye to scum- (plus grime-, oil-, and mold-) filled showers, and hello to your shiny new tiles.

    Promising review: "I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." —L. J. Petillo

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98.

    3. And a hard-water-stain remover because no matter how much work you've put into scrubbing this eyesore away, it doesn't seem to disappear. This removes stains almost instantly, and you'll save your poor, strained forearms.

    It also works on shower doors, windshields, toilets, and tile, so you can get a ton of bang for your buck.

    Promising review: "Miracle!! I really thought my shower glass was hopeless. I have tried CLR, vinegar, citric acid, a steam cleaner, and a multitude of other cleaning products, all without any luck. I didn't have high hopes for this product but it totally worked. My glass looks so much better. Mine wasn't just stained either; it had loads of mineral buildup that was hardened and nearly impossible to remove — it looked 'dirty.' I am thankful it's fixed. I would definitely recommend this to others and I will buy it again." —Kabuki

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    4. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because even though you can't see your week-old pasta doesn't mean that it's not still down there. Just toss it in the sink and let the water run — it'll clean itself so you don't have to reach down there and do it, *ick*. Once you see the bath bomb-like blue fizz, the job is done and your sink is free from the backed-up gunk. Plus it'll keep those flies away that are attracted to leftover food!

    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

    (But just buy a fruit fly trap.)

    You won't have to worry about fruit flies attacking you ever again.

    Promising review: "Our home was infested with fruit flies. As a household of minimal fresh produce and a mostly nitrate rich menu, we were confused and horrified when these tiny, evil monsters took over our house. These apple jobs are LEGIT. Within an hour or less they had captured a good amount of flies. I just bought more." —MotherofChaos

    5. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover for those stains you forgot were there, or just didn't want to go through the tiresome effort of trying to scrub it out. That's totally okay because, with this stain remover, you can just spray it on an old or new stain and toss it into any load of laundry.

    Promising review: "Mom of four here, one of whom is just a month old. I found this product after searching for 'breast milk stain remover.' Nursing my prior kids taught me the woes of stains like this — never have I thrown out more clothes than when I was breastfeeding. In the last month this stuff has proved to be a miracle worker with all sorts of stains. We’ve used it on breast milk, baby poop, spit up, big kid poop, mud, grass, ketchup, balsamic vinegar, Sriracha, chicken dung and mustard. No stain has survived. I follow the instructions and spray the stain, then I load up my washer and set it on a delayed start. Sometimes I’ll spray and leave overnight. I haven’t had any issues with damage to clothes like other reviewers. With four kids and a need to keep their clothes nice to pass along, this stuff is a lifesaver. I’ll be stocking up!" —Kathleen

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    6. And an all-natural stain stick made with *zero* harsh chemicals that you can just rub onto any stain on your clothes and then toss it unto the laundry. This all-natural bar will be your savior after BBQ night.

    Promising review: "Our kitty cat had an upset tummy and, on the first night we used our brand-new white organic quilt, threw up quite a bit on it. I had little faith on it working, but amazingly, my first try with it and IT WORKED 100%!!! I AM CUSTOMER FOR LIFE! 😍" —michelemassoni

    Get it from Shady Creek Farm NC on Etsy for $5.

    7. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff to remove grease and grime from quite literally any surface from stoves to bathtubs to even jewelry — without the need for strenuous scrubbing! It works so well it'll be attached to your hip. For this price? You'll definitely get a bang for your buck.

    Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" —May

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99

    8. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller that pet owners swear by. It's just like a lint roller but without the paper so it never runs out. It's designed to pick up pet hair efficiently and once it's locked in, it doesn't go anywhere until you throw it away.

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 

    9. A jewelry-cleaning stick for restoring your old rings so they'll stay true to the lyrics, ~shine bright like a diamond~. Your jewelry will be the epitome of the song. Save yourself a trip to the cleaners, because all you have to do is twist the bottom of the pen, brush, and lo and behold, your gem is as shiny as new!

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

    Get it from Amazon for $9.38.

    10. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop so you don't have to get on your hands and knees when you clean your floors — sorry, Cinderella, this was before your time. The wringer will remove the perfect amount of excess water, and the mop is designed with a microfiber fabric that is so effective all you need is WATER to clean.

    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 that 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

    Get it from Amazon for $34.97

    11. A set of four biodegradable, machine-washable Swedish dish cloths that are reusable so you can stop buying rolls of paper towels. Made from wood cloth and cotton, these cloths are ultra absorbent, making cleaning easy-peasy. You'll be able to clean up spills to prevent ants and house flies from attacking.

    Promising review: "I discovered Skoy cloths a number of years ago and use nothing else. They are perfect for cleaning up; super absorbent and they do not leave an odor, which is the reason I use them exclusively. I put them in the dishwasher or the washer and they come out ready to start all over. You won’t be disappointed." —Luvztoread

    Get a set of four from Amazon for $7.99 (available in four color variations). 

    12. A set of brush-and-flush toilet tabs to reduce the need for scrubbing — Just drop one tab into the bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. Afterwards, just take a brush and wipe all the grime away!

    13. Or a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you don't have to lay a finger in the bowl. Each stamp lasts up to 12 days and cleans the toilet with every flush. Bye-bye rings and limescale!

    Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet

    Get it from Amazon for $4.74

    14. A set of washing machine cleaning tablets that'll remove grime and odor-causing residue after placing one tablet in and running a cycle. You won't have to keep putting your laundry back in because after one wash, it'll smell like detergent, and detergent *only*.

    Amazon

    Promising review: My older model Whirlpool washing machine had been smelling very bad for about two months. We tried everything, white vinegar, beach, etc, it would stay fresh smelling for two days then back to the bad moldy smell. I read this product works so I ordered it. Used one tablet and the smell is gone!!! It has been three weeks now and it just smells fresh, no strong perfume odor either! Buy this product you will not regret it!!!" —A.C.

    Get a set of three tablets from Amazon for $5.99

    15. super-long duster because who knows how much dust has been building up in that chandelier of yours. It extends over eight feet to attack those dust bunnies that live in your lamps and ceiling crevices so you don't have to climb a ladder to reach everything.

    Promising review: "Very cool. Cleaned all the cobwebs in my apartment living room while reclining in my recliner. Just for the laugh factor. It works well. It stays extended to whatever length you choose. I've used it to clean the lint trap in the dryer and to dust the tops of furniture and wall-hanging pictures. I've used it to fish things out from under furniture. I've even used it as a cat toy. And to break up kitty disagreements. Best $10 investment ever!" —B Ba

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).

    16. A reusable Swiffer duster head that'll sweep away and wipe off all the grime with its non-fraying fleece fabric. It collects dust so much more efficiently compared to the disposable ones and you'll save some $$$ on replacements because these are reusable!

    TS Designs/Etsy

    TS Designs is a Michigan-based Etsy shop established in 2016 that specializes in home products and country, rustic, and vintage-styled gifts and decor.

    Psst — the seller notes that this works best with Swiffers with the yellow handle, but also is compatible with the blue handle. You should avoid using fabric softener when washing this duster so that it doesn't lose its static cling.

    Promising review: "I love my Swiffer, but hate the waste from the disposable dusters, this is the perfect alternative! Fits perfectly on my Swiffer handle and does a great job of picking up dust."  —Ashley Stroud

    Get it from TS Designs on Etsy for $4.99 (available in 10 colors).

    17. Plus a reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad to pick up more dust, dirt, and gunk compared to disposable pads. You can just toss it into the washing machine after you're done cleaning your floors. 

    Promising review: "I bought these for the same reasons most do — to be more environmentally friendly. I like the size of my Swiffer Sweeper, but always felt like I wasn't getting my floors fully clean. We recently got a new apartment, and I always like to deep clean before we do any major moving. I used them dry and wet. I've always been disappointed with how the disposable pads from Swiffer (barely) picked up dog fur and crumbs, but as you can see in the picture it picked up so much! This was already after using a traditional broom. Then using them wet with diluted Mrs. Meyers cleaning concentrate — wow! The water was BLACK by the time I was all done with our downstairs area. They were so easy to Velcro on and off, wet or dry. Once I was all done, getting them off and doing a quick rinse wasn't hard at all. I love that I am supporting a small family business with all the convenience of Amazon. I will definitely buy again (if i ever have to). I am so excited to use these for years to come and have a cleaner house than I ever have before!!" —Kathryn Willer

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.75.

    Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.44

    18. A power scrubber brush that you can attach to a drill. A DRILL. Just pop it on the head of your drill that's been sitting in your garage and let the machine do all the work for you.

    Reviewer using the brush to clean grime out of a tub
    one of the brushes attached to a drill next to a shower pane with half still fogged up and the other super clear

    It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. The drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!  

    Promising review: "Listen, the drill brush has been my go-to for like everything. Cleaning the vehicle carpet, getting out tough stains in carpet. You name it and I have pretty much cleaned it with my drill brush. They are still working great and holding up after hundreds of cleaning routines. It works out some of the toughest stuff but safe on suedes and carpets. I can’t say enough about this product, and I wish I had bought this sooner. There are different levels and I only have the white for upholstery types but I think I’ll be buying more. Great product to have in with your cleaning products! You won’t be disappointed." —Wojo

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six different brush heads for different surfaces).

    19. blind duster with microfiber sleeves that'll make cleaning your blinds so much easier. Instead of cleaning each shade one by one, you can take on  three at a time!

    Promising review: "I hate to clean blinds. I've tried every method you could imagine but none really did a good job. While looking at the internet for something to make the job easier I found the Hiware window blind cleaner duster brush. The price was more than affordable so I thought I would give it a shot. This little device is genius and the microfiber sleeves are so easy to throw in the washer to get ready for the next time." —Northwest Gal

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    20. A squishy universal cleaning putty for small gaps and cavities — plus it smells like cherry blossoms. All crumbs, dust, and dirt will stick onto this putty and you can use it until it turns dark instead of trying to wipe every single crevice with a cleaning wipe!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    21. A set of dishwasher-cleaning tablets because even though this savior of a machine cleans your bowls, plates, and pretty much everything, it doesn't clean itself. All you have to do is pop a tablet in (with or without dishes)  to remove limescale and mineral buildup, pump and valve, hose, and tub — without having to even move a muscle.  Pamper your dishwasher and think of it as a thank you for all the hard work it has done for you.

    Promising review: "Saved me from buying a new dishwasher!I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I’ve noticed my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don’t know why these tablets work but they absolutely did and I am a happy customer!" —B. Turner

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $7.99.

    22. An AirPod cleaning pen so you can finally understand every single lyric of "Cruel Summer" and maybe shed a few tears. It comes with a flocking sponge to clean the case, a brush to clean the dirt of the sound outlet, and a metal tip to scrape out what may or may not be your ear wax. You'll easily be able to clean everything out in minutes instead of taking a needle to it and trying to remove everything little by little.

    Promising review: "Saw these on a TikTok video and took a chance. I ordered three for different family members and boy am I glad I did! This product is fantastic! It does exactly what it says it will do. The brush is phenomenal in cleaning out the little grates on the speakers of my phone and AirPods. There is a picker that you can use to get big chunky ear wax out of your ear pieces and the long skinny wand thing reaches down into my charging case and gets all the junk out of there. This is a win-win-win!" —JMilwaukee

    Get it from Amazon for $5.99 (available in two colors). 

    23. A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set that'll make cleaning just a little more enjoyable. It comes with a bristle cleaner that makes it easy to dislodge dust bunnies and hair instead of trying to pick everything out with your bare hands. 

    Promising review: "Love this broom, love the dust pan. So easy to sweep up spills. I've bought them for myself, a good friend, my neighbor, and my elderly uncle. We all wondered why we haven't been using theses all along. This particular set is the best. Dustpan stands straight and doesn't keep spilling over. We all also appreciate "teeth" on dustpan that pulls off dust when you move broom against them." —Michelle

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors). 

    24. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner to get your wooden furniture and floors looking brand new. It'll have everything looking so brand new that your guests will be wondering if you just remodeled your home.

    Promising review: "This polish works amazingly well. I applied to antiques I was sure I had to apply new lacquer to bring back to life. After reading the reviews, I decided to give it a try and so glad I did ! I will bring back lost luster to the wood and revitalize faded wood to show room condition. Highly recommended" —LandRover Guy

    Get it from Amazon for $8.73

    25. A highly rated pet urine stain-removing spray because your poor carpet doesn't deserve to stink or stain. Instead of yelling, "bad dog!" you'll be screaming, "amazing stain remover!". Spray and soak any mess your li'l stinker decides to make, and just like that, gone.

    Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not house broken and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and more importantly the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    26. touch-free stationary vacuum so you don't have to lug a big ol' machine around your house. Just take a broom and sweep towards the vacuum — the automatic sensors will suction everything into its black hole. The best part? You don't have to wrestle with getting every dust particle onto a dustpan.

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in eight colors).

    27. A heavy-duty grout cleaner so you can finally clean those dark, dirt-filled crevices. Just let it sit on the floor for 10 minutes and scrub all the muck away. 

    Promising review: "I never leave reviews on Amazon but this grout cleaner definitely deserved a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-eez and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." —Tyler

    Get it from Amazon for $21.95.

    28. A tin of Bar Keepers Friend Powdered Cleanser to finally get rid of the mysterious brown gunk that's been caked onto all your cooking appliances. Instead of endlessly scrubbing at the stubborn pile-up, this powder effortlessly removes everything.

    Promising review: "This stuff is like magic! Straight up wizardry. I love it! I initially bought it to clean my sink, which is porcelain and even though it's not even a year old, is just holding on to all the coffee and tea staining. I'd say it took less than a minute after making a paste with Bar Keepers Friend to clean the sink up to a nearly new shine. Taking a look at the can, it's easy to find bunches of ways to use this stuff and each application is better than the last. Stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper, brass, fiberglass, corian, chrome and aluminum. See? Magic! Anyhow, I've used it in the sink, in the bathroom, to clean stainless steel pots and pans on a 17-year-old Revereware tea kettle (which I thought would never be restored to its former loveliness, btw). This is a product that I will buy again and again and will happily recommend to anyone." —Nicci Stephenson

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $12.49

    29. A mold and mildew removal gel because having this sludge built up isn't too easy on the eyes. Just leave in on the dirty kitchen and bathroom spots and with a few swipes, it'll look like a newly renovated home.

    Promising review: "It’s a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" —Brooklyn Nguyen

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    30. A dryer vent lint brush because even though you clean the screen after every use, there's still those sneaky lint bunnies that like to play hide-and-seek inside the slim crevice. Just stick this brush inside and collect all lint that's been piling inside for years.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I’ve used others before but they didn’t last and weren’t as durable! Very easy to use! The perfect size. It reached all the way behind my dryer and you just slide it across and it gets everything out from under it! I’ve used it in various areas — the dryer, gaps between the oven, under the oven. Definitely worth buying!" —L.M.

    Promising reviews: "This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle-jumping in her boots [pictured here]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." —TRW

    "This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it on the same direction until the stains wore off." —Lissette Castillo

    32. A brush-cleaning tool that'll remove hair that's been stuck in there for who knows how long. It'll also remove fluff from the bristles because somehow there ALWAYS seems to be a dust buildup in your brushes.

    The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean.

    Promising review: "When I bought this I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc

    33. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll remove everything from any fabric surfaces whether that be your tiny oopsies to your big *OOPS*. Now you'll be able to munch on your burrito without the fear of leaving a stain. 

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    34. And melamine cleaning sponges for your stained furniture that's basically like erasing pencil from paper. Just add water to this sponge and everything will *poof* disappear.

    Promising review: "I love these sponges. I use them in the kitchen, the bathroom, and on the sides of the pool. But the use I like the best is to clean my vinyl wood floors. They get the spots and footprints off quickly without damaging the floor. I've use mops but they didn't remove what everyone had tracked in without pressing down really hard. These work quickly and efficiently." —D. Morales

    35. An upholstery cleaner because kids somehow always manage to find a way to make a mess in the backseat of the car (so do I). Now you can remove the spills and stains from your car's interior and literally every other piece of furniture in your home with this magical cleaner.

    Promising review: "I have two kids. They have destroyed my back seat. Spilled chocolate milk, vomit, melted chocolate, dropped fries, dropped ice cream, spilled Gatorade — you name it, it has been spilled in my back seat. I was to the point of accepting my backseat would forever be a disgusting wasteland. Then I stumbled upon this product and y'all...Y'ALL IT WORKS! I almost cried when I sprayed it on, ran a detail brush over it, wiped it away with the cloth, and the stains were GONE. No scrubbing for 30 minutes. No 'leave to set for 15 minutes.' No carpet cleaner required. Just spray, scrub, wipe, and it takes everything off. I am now cleaning EVERYTHING with this stuff. It is AMAZING!" —Rachel

    36. pumice stone to scrub off the chilling scum that sits in your toilet bowl — that no matter how hard you scrub with bleach, never comes off. This scouring stick removes mineral deposits, limescale, rust, and other stains in a matter of minutes.

    Promising review: "I can’t even tell you how much I love this product. I was so embarrassed of out toilet and bathtub in our guest bathroom. Our water is so full of iron, you can’t even drink it, so it stained everything it touched. It took a little bit of elbow grease but this is the only thing I have found that will take the staining off! I will recommend to anyone I know!" —MorganeC.

    Promising review: "BEST stainless steel cleaner EVER! The wipes work through cooking oil grime, sticky fingerprints and stubborn hard water stains like it’s nothing. Leaves a gorgeous, clean, truly streak free surface and after a month of use I’ve noticed my appliances are less susceptible to showing fingerprints and other small stains. Couldn’t be easier and more satisfying!" —Jane
