    The 31 Cleaning Products You Need To Get Your Home Into Tip-Top Shape This Fall

    These products do the hard work for you.

    1. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but let them dry, especially during cold weather. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners.

    Promising review: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based upon the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so i scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime, then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." —LauraP320

    Get it from Amazon for $48.62.

    2. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is clean enough to effectively launder your dirties, especially after a long day of raking leaves. Like with all cleaning appliances, it's important to keep them in tip-top shape so that they run at max efficiency.

    Promising review: "My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn’t come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." —Eca

    Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98.

    3. Dishwasher-cleaning tablets because did you know the thing that cleans your dirty plates and bowls needs cleaning too? One tablet will clean the blades, walls, and every nook and cranny of your appliance. This is so important now that the holidays are right around the corner.

    It's recommended to use a tablet once a month. You can use these on stainless-steel and plastic tub dishwashers. 

    Promising review: "Absolute magic. I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, TipHero, etc. but this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well maintained and struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios turned back the clock. It looks brand-new inside. BRAND-NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again and I’m telling everyone I know about this." —Jason

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99.

    4. A pair of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my feet...hardly notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wish in Tide and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" —Tim S.

    Get five pairs from Amazon for $13.48.

    5. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magical bright blue foam to deep clean and deodorize your disposer and pipes. Entertaining season is upon us, so make sure this often neglected part of your kitchen is in tip-top shape. All you do is pop one packet into the drain, and voilà — from there, it does all the work for you.

    6. An oil stain remover for ridding your countertops and grout of what you thought was permanent damage. Just smear some of the paste onto the stain and then let it suck out the deep, set-in oil stains. After three days, remove the paste with a sharp edge like a credit card, and boom!

    A reviewer's four steps: 1 an oil stain on untreated marble, 2 apply thick amount of product 3 let dry for 72 hrs 4 scrape away and the stain is gone

    7. An extra-thick magic cleaning pad that'll tackle all the grime that accumulated over the busyness of spring and summer. It can handle buildup on nearly every surface, from doors and windows to walls and flooring.

    8. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your bathroom's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll be amazed at how well the yuck gets blasted away — and because you'll save time on unsticking all that grossness, you'll have more time to focus on your other fall projects.

    Promising review: "These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." —Tom S4TX

    Get the set of three from Amazon for $15.95+ (available in six colors).

    9. A bottle of Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser and Polish to get your metal surfaces and products free of rust, tarnish, mineral deposits, and tough stains. Considering Thanksgiving is coming up, it's as good as time as any to make sure your stainless-steel cookware is in tip-top shape.

    10. A microfiber blinds duster that'll remove dust from your blinds in record time, especially if you kept your windows open all summer long. The tool is specifically designed with spaced-out fingers to tackle multiple blinds in one swipe.

    11. A rubber broom to remove the mountains of pet hair on the floor now that your furry friends are spending so much time indoors. You'd be shocked at how much has accumulated, but no worries! This tool will sweep it all up.

    12. A bottle of all-purpose cleaner that only uses five ingredients to keep the grime and gross at bay. The scent is orange and clove, which will make the whole house smell like a perfect autumn day. I personally have been using this pretty much every day since I got my first bottle, and to say I'm obsessed would be an understatement! It really smells that good.

    13. A bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner designed to clean away soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from nearly any fireplace, because sweater weather means way more cozy fires at home.

    14. A pack of eight microfiber cloths that are specifically designed to clean glass and mirrors. They won't leave residue like paper towels do and are soft enough to not scratch delicate items like glass lighting fixtures and mirrors.

    15. A wall-mounted garage vacuum because, let's face it, garages get dirty. Whether it's seasonal problems like dead leaves or just your run-of-the-mill daily dirt buildup, this vacuum and blower will make keeping your garage clean a breeze.

    16. A pack of Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaning Wipes for keeping your stainless-steel appliances and finishes spotless. Have a fridge or oven that's covered in finger smudges, especially now that we're all spending more time indoors? Just wipe 'em off with this magic stuff.

    17. A versatile Katzco Furniture Repair Kit with six wood markers and six wax sticks to cover up all the nicks and scratches you'll notice now that you're stuck inside so much. That one dining chair your cat has turned into a scratch pad? It's time to make it like new again.

    18. Some all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets that'll remove stubborn stains and odors from your reusable coffee cups and water bottles. Just pop a tablet into one of your bottles and let the fizz do the work — no soap, sink, or scrubbing required.

    19. A heavy-duty rust stain remover to take on the neglected basement bathroom now that it's the season for family and friends to visit for the holidays.

    20. A game-changing power scrubber if your grout is stained and needs to be restored to its former glory. Yes, it is time-consuming, but thanks to this tool you just dip it in soap and water and let it do all the scrubbing — just make sure you have a playlist of good podcasts lined up to keep your brain busy.

    21. Or a grout pen to literally paint white paint onto grout if yours is stained beyond fixing. One pen covers up to 150 feet of grout.

    22. A 100% natural oven scrub for keeping your oven clean now that it'll be in use way more (it's pie season, y'all!). Because no one wants to bake in a filthy oven.

    23. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — aka TikTok's favorite all-purpose cleaning paste — to combat grossness on nearly every surface in your home. From typical problems like crusty stovetops and soap scum buildup to more niche cleaning projects like grimy jewelry and rusty windows, this ~stuff~ will make cleaning it a breeze.

    Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value like I do this product! Literally use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? ...This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-size amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need such LITTLE of this product, it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    24. 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. Dogs shed extra in the spring and fall, so you'll definitely need this handy tool.

    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 $28.95

    25. A touchless stationary vacuum to suck up all the debris you sweep near it. Simply place it on any smooth surface and let it do its thing. No more bending over with a flimsy dustpan.

    An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash.

    Promising review: "I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." —MaryKat

    Get it from Amazon for $129 (available in four colors).

    26. A cleaning K-Cup you pop into your Keurig just like you're making a normal cup of coffee. Then all you have to do is brew one large cycle with the cleaner pod, and one or more with just water (depending on how dirty your machine is), and you're done!

    27. A reusable weighted bottle cleaner to take on all the gunk that's in your water bottles that a sponge or bottle brush can't reach. Simply drop, shake, and empty.

    Each sponge should last around four months.

    John, the founder, invented the Cleanzy sponge after having trouble cleaning drink containers without bulky tools and a lot of scrubbing. 

    Get it from Cleanzy on Etsy for $9.99.

    28. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains (like pumpkin pie and mulled wine), all without the annoyance of a cord. Reviewers have used this to save their couches, rugs, stairs, car seats, and more.

    Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59

    29. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. It's Hallmark rom-com season, so make sure your television is crystal clear.

    The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more!

    Promising review: "A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub...Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul Wedero

    Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

    30. A wine stain-removing spray because cozying up in front of the fireplace with a nice glass of red wine is so picturesque, but accidents can and do happen. Spray, blot, rinse, and watch fresh or dry stains disappear.

    Promising review: "We’ve had this thing for two years now and finally spilled red wine on our white shag rug. Holy moly, it did not disappoint! It was like magic in how it removed it all! We used a towel with water and soap first and after we found this bottle, we sprayed it and all the rest completely disappeared from our 2+ inch shag rug! We’re buying more. Highly recommend." —Mountaingrl

    Get it from Amazon for $7.95 (available in five varieties).

    31. And an all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet that's like a bath bomb for your bowl. Drop one in, let it do its fizzy thing, and then lightly scrub away any residue.

    Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo that creates natural body, hair, and home products.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."
