    31 Things From Target That’ll Actually Keep Your Home Clean This Year, Even If You’re Always Busy

    Clean smarter, not harder.

    1. A toilet cleaning gel stamp so instead of scrubbing your bowl with a brush and liquid cleaner, you can just pop out a gel stamp, forget it, and have a clean toilet with no scrubbing — it cleans itself every time you flush!

    2. A sanitizing spray that doesn't just kill germs: it also prevents them from coming back for up to 24 hours. Plus, it has a citrus spray, so your house won't smell like it's covered in hand sanitizer.

    3. A Swiffer wet and dry cleaning kit, because plain ol' brooms and mops are a thing of the past. All you need is this one tool and your floors will be sparkling.

    4. A mini broom and dustpan that's perfect for crumbs and little spills that aren't major enough to necessitate getting out the whole big broom. Honestly, stashing a few of these around the house would make your life so much easier.

    5. A Scrub Daddy because it'll 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 don't need multiple scrubbers.

    6. A Swiffer extendable duster that can expand to 6 feet in length, so you don't have to drag out a chair to reach those ceiling fan blades. My fellow Short People know how huge that is.

    7. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser so you don't have expend a ton of elbow grease to clean tough food stains or marks on your white walls wall. Just wipe them away!

    8. A squeegee because taking two seconds to wipe down your shower (especially the doors!) will save you hours of scrubbing off mildew and hard water stains in the future. Plus, it comes with a holder that you can attach directly to your shower wall with suction cups, so it'll always be handy.

    9. A scrubber dish wand that you can fill with soap and dispense as you clean. We love a multitasker!

    10. A pack of stainless steel wipes so you can just swipe and remove annoying fingerprints and smudges from your fridge, dishwasher, and more.

    11. A pair of reusable cleaning cloths that are cute enough to be hung up as a dish towel, but absorbent like a paper towel. And you can toss them in the washing machine whenever they get dirty!

    12. A pack of garbage disposal cleaner pods because nine times out of ten, fixing That Weird Smell in the kitchen is as easy as popping a few of these bad boys down the disposal.

    13. A wire utility rack that will store your brooms, mops, dustpans and more off the floor, keeping your supplies accessible but also keeping them out of the way.

    14. A bottle of Goo Gone spray because it means the difference between scrubbing at a stubborn sticky spot forever and just wiping it right off. This adhesive remover will make it seem like your old roommate never put a bunch of stickers on your fridge (roommates, amiright?)

    15. A pack of eight microfiber cloths with 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.

    16. A power scrubber that basically eliminates the need for manual scrubbing. Just hold it next to some grout, on your cooktop, or in any grimy little corner, turn it on, and be shocked with how much it gets off.

    17. A packet of dishwasher cleaner tablets in case your machine just seems to be getting less and less effective over time. Pop one in, and it'll get out all the dirt and residue that's preventing the dishwasher from working effectively.

    18. A pack of leather wipes so you can clean, condition, and make all your leather goods look brand-new, with just a few swipes.

    19. A dishwasher rinse aid to help prevent annoying water spots and speckles. The two seconds it takes to add this in before your wash will save you untold time in scrubbing already-cleaned dishes.

    20. A bottle scrubber for those deep, hard-to-reach recesses. Never again will you struggle while trying to wedge a standard sponge into the bottom of a reusable water bottle, blender, or vase.

    21. A bottle of Scrubbing Bubbles so you can sit back and relax while the foam does the work for you. This cleaner removes grime and soap scum from almost every bathroom surface — all you have to do is wipe it off.

    22. A cooktop daily cleaner designed to be used to clean quickly after meals, instead of leaving a mess to build up and eventually doing a deep clean — because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of hard-to-scrub-off soup residue.

    23. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash spray because let me tell you, this stuff is a game changer. Just spray it on, and all you have to do is wipe the mess off — no scrubbing!

    24. A Lysol To Go spray that you can stow near whatever might need a quick hit of clean (like doorknobs or high-touch areas). It can also fit easily into a backpack or purse, so you can take your clean with you.

    25. A bottle of Lime-A-Way to make those discolorations on your shower head and tiles a thing of the past. It'll be like you got a whole new shower, when all you did was some spraying and rinsing.

    26. A bottle of multipurpose bathroom and kitchen cleanser so you can ditch the multiple bottles and just use a product that works everywhere.

    27. A pack of kitchen degreaser wipes for that gross film that can just settle over all the surfaces in your kitchen, especially when you've cooked something oily.

    28. 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 and Google Home to send it to clean up fresh messes.

    29. A bottle of pet stain and odor eliminator, so if Fluffy or Fido has an accident, you can just spray and walk away. You won't even remember where the stain was, and so will your pets (which means no "repeat performances").

    the orange and purple spray bottle

    30. A bottle of Lysol mold and mildew remover to destroy gunk and buildup in literal seconds. You'll never even know it was there.

    31. A pack of individually wrapped Clorox wipes so you can stash 'em wherever. A pocket, a bag, a car, a desk, a shoe — the possibilities are endless.
