    20 Things From Target For Anyone Who Seriously Needs To Improve Their Cleaning Skills

    Welcome, class, to your first day of Cleaning 101.

    1. A bottle of oven cleaner to finally remove the burnt-on gunk from that pie that leaked uhhhh *three* Thankgsgivings ago. Plus, it's fume free, so you won't have to open every possible window while it works its magic.

    2. A handheld vacuum that has all the power of its upright cousin, but is way less of a hassle to pull out and start cleaning up messes. Now, you have no excuse not to vacuum up those crumbs. Sorry!

    3. A pack of garbage disposal cleaner pods because nine times out of 10, fixing ~that weird smell~ in the kitchen is as easy as plopping a few of these bad boys down the disposal.

    4. An extendable tub and tile scrubber so your back doesn't have to suffer, no matter how deeply you scrub. And it's great for us shorties, who might not be able to reach the tops of the shower otherwise.

    5. A surface cleaner that is so strong it can disinfect almost anything in your house, but is also so gentle you can use it to wash your produce. Use it on your countertops, your kids' toys (that often go in your kids' mouths), and your fruits and veggies. Talk about a multitasker!

    6. A reusable glass spray bottle designed to use with cleaning concentrates. You can reduce your waste, but still bust dirt just as effectively — and the silicone sleeve means you won't lose your grip, even with wet, slippery hands.

    7. A pack of dishwasher cleaner that'll not only freshen up the inside of your machine (and remove that lingering smell) but will also remove all the buildup that is making it function inefficiently. Say goodbye to pre-rinses, water spots, and cloudy glasses!

    8. A granite and stone cleaner to keep your countertops pristine, disinfected, and most importantly, ~shining~. Other cleaners could dull the finish over time, but this is specifically formulated to make sure that doesn't happen.

    9. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash because sometimes you should believe the hype. It really does cut through grease and tough messes with ease — you barely need a sponge; you can just rinse everything right off.

    10. A power scrubber that basically eliminates the need for manual scrubbing. Just hold it down on some grout, on your cooktop, or in any grimy little corner, turn it on, and be shocked by how much gunk it removes.

    11. An air purifier because first of all: It literally cleans the air, helping you breathe easier by filtering out irritants and allergens. But second of all: When it's time to change the filters, you'll be shocked by how much dust it's collected, and grateful that you didn't have to dust all that gunk off of everything.

    12. A bottle of glass cooktop cleaner so scuffs, stains, and scrapes will be a thing of the past. Basically, you'll be able to use your glass cooktop as an auxiliary mirror on your way out the door!

    13. A pack of eight microfiber cloths that each have specific jobs: Some are made for polishing, some for cleaning, and some for dusting. You don't even have to grab a bottle of cleaner — these puppies work great with just water.

    14. A deep cleaning brush set so even the tiniest nooks and crannies in your bathroom won't be safe havens for mold and mildew. These brushes are sturdy, multifunctional, have angled heads, and are way more useful than the classic old toothbrush.

    15. A Scrub Daddy because this one-and-done sponge will help you finally clear off all that clutter around your sink. It changes texture depending on the temperature of the water, allowing it to handle all kinds of kitchen messes, so you no longer need multiple scrubbers.

    16. A bottle of laundry sanitizer to really get the dirt out of your clothes without using bleach. You won't have to worry about germs, viruses, or removing the color from your favorite pieces, either!

    17. A starter pack of Clorox toilet wands because that toilet brush lurking behind the bowl is basically a germ bonanza. These are way more sanitary and way more effective at actually removing buildup and stains.

    18. A lint roller that's not just a lint roller, it's a MEGA, EXTENDABLE lint roller. This thing has a long handle, and a roll that's six inches wider than a standard lint roller, so the cleaning possibilities are truly endless. You could probably lint roll your ceiling with this bad boy.

    19. A robot vacuum because it's the definition of lazy cleaning. It literally does the floors for you! Use the vacuum's app to schedule and plan cleanings, or use Alexa/Google Home for cleaning up fresh messes.

    20. An O-Cedar spin mop and bucket that blends the best of old school and new school cleaning: It's efficient, ergonomic, and easy, but also reusable and built to last.
