Promising review: "Multipurpose is an understatement. After my first time using it, I quickly realized how effective it was. I immediately wished I had ordered more of it! I used it on heavy cookware, the oven, and even built-up soap scum-covered shower and tub. I will definitely get more for spring cleaning week!" — Cora Lundy

2. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches!
Promising review: "Spring cleaning kicked in hard for me this week, and I was bingeing cleaning TikTok compilations when I discovered this little tool. This thing is AMAZING. I used it on our couch first, which is a dark brown fabric, and the difference was instant and visible. I wish I had taken before and after photos, but I cleaned everything I could in about 30 minutes. I can't rave about it enough. It works incredibly well, quickly and visibly, on every fabric surface I have tried it on. 1,000% recommend." —Heather G

Promising review: "Life changing! Spring cleaning will never be the same! I literally have never written an Amazon review but these brushes are so amazing the gospel needs to be spread. I’m fairly strong, but scrubbing anything after a while is exhausting. These brushes literally took decades of dirt off tiles and appliances in my old apartment. If you have a drill, do not hesitate to purchase. I’m cleaning walls, floors, my tub, my stove, everything with these! Best purchase I’ve ever made." —Stephg613

Promising review: "First, I am absolutely in awe of the shipping time... bought this product just around noon (while spring cleaning), and it arrived before 4 p.m. SAME DAY. I immediately put it to use, first on an old doggy vomit stain (yuck) and then on everything I could find. Having a 6-year-old child and a large dog, you tend to find random stains around the house, and the little green machine took care of all of them. Not to mention, brought life back to my blush pink velvet couch." —Aislinn Jacobus

It is amazing and the job goes so much quicker. Works well on bathroom mirrors and kitchen appliances as well." —amadolla

12. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint resides in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup.
13. A bottle of grout cleaner if yours looks like it has seen better days. Yes, that dark gray grout might *actually* be white.

Promising review: "I used it for the first time a week ago as part of my spring cleaning. With a dog who has the occasional accident, having a closed house in the winter tends to buildup a bit of an odor. This stuff in my carpet cleaner did a great job, leaving the house smelling very nice – even a week later." —J. K. Hardy
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three scents).
15. A jet cleaner to break down and remove the dirty soap buildup and bath and body oils from the inside of your jetted bathtub, Jacuzzi, or whirlpool.

Promising review: "I have a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier who has been peeing in the same 12"x6' strip along the side of the bed since day one. Over time, I've tried fighting it; at times, I've given up on fighting it and gone back to fighting it. I've tried every home remedy and cleaner you can imagine. We even tried bleaching it. A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from BarkPost touting the wonderful effects this stuff had — it was clearly a promoted ad, but I checked into the reviews, and it is almost universally raved about. I figured that for $15, I would give it a try. It absolutely obliterated the stain. That stain is remarkably close to the original beige of the carpet, so much so that we can't really tell the difference without looking at it from certain angles with a high-powered flashlight." —A. Trevino
Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes).
18. And a broom and mop organizer so all of your cleaning essentials are organized and off the ground. A stash of mops and brooms shoved into a corner, or that awkward spot between the refrigerator and the wall is an untidy mess, so use this instead.
