1. A pack of K-Cup cleaning pods you simply must try if you have a Keurig coffee maker. These pods remove the inevitable coffee grinds and residue from your machine, thus helping it to last longer and brew better java. To use, pop a pod in just like you would a coffee one, then run a cycle with only water to rinse. You’ll be amazed at the results.
After "brewing" the cleaning pod through your coffee machine, reviewers recommend running a few "brews" with plain water to make sure the cleaning solution is completely rinsed out before popping in your coffee.
Promising reviews: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle, and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So, yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0, and I had no issues." —Mads0421
"These are so easy to use, and are so well-priced, you might think they couldn't possibly work well — but they DO!! Seeing what comes out of your machine is sort of gross, but the improvement in the flavor of the coffee is worth it! I did three rinses after using the cleaning pod, instead of the one the box calls for, and couldn't detect any strange residual taste." —Mel F

2. A pack of must-have Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads that really deliver on their name. To use, all you need to do is put one on a stain, (including set-in messes like wine, dirt, and coffee), step on it, and walk away. It's ~that~ easy.
The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved. Everything you need is on the pad already.
Promising reviews: "I am FURIOUS at how great these things worked. FUMING. What sorcery is this? What kind of magic was cast? What spell was spoken? How...how do these things DO THIS. This stain...was impossible to remove prior. Every 👏🏻Single👏🏻Cleaner👏🏻Has👏🏻Been👏🏻Tried👏🏻 Then these little things…they come in and swoop up every ounce of elbow grease and tears I have poured into these SPOTS. IN SECONDS. The world will know...they need to know...that these things exist. I am having the absolute time of my life lifting these puppies and gasping every time. If you have a spot to remove...BUY THEM." —Kathy Prentkowski
"So easy! I ordered these for a bad coffee stain on my office rug, and they are just as easy to use as described! Worked like a dream with basically zero effort from me. They also got blood out of my white couch with zero scrubbing. My new favorite cleaning product!" —Justin Foster

3. A professional-strength mold and mildew remover spray that instantly removes those stubborn stains from your deck, the exterior of your home, and elsewhere. Not only does it work quickly, but it doesn’t even call for any time-consuming scrubbing. That's a win-win!
It's designed specifically for outdoor fabrics, plus works on concrete, tile, wood, plastic, and more. To use, spray the remover, wait until you see the mildew stain disappear, then rinse.
Promising review: "I don't often write reviews of products. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we'd take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad as before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean." —Christine A. Simonson
Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in three sizes).
4. A bestselling Wet & Forget shower cleaner to remove soap scum, mold, and grime from every part of your bathtub and shower. All you need to do is spray your shower with this stuff weekly, let it sit overnight, and rinse it off the following morning. Once you wake up, your bathroom will be *sparkling* clean with no scrubbing required!
The Wet & Forget shower cleaner is safe to use on most surfaces except for natural marble.
Promising review: "This shower cleaner lives up to the hype. Using it is almost effortless. Liberally spray Wet & Forget on all the surfaces of your shower, let it sit for at least eight hours, rinse everything off, and you are done. No scrubbing required. If you are starting with a very dirty shower, use Wet & Forget once a day for at least seven days. After that you only need to use Wet & Forget once a week. It's amazing on soap scum, hard water buildup, mildew, and general dirt. Bottom line is Wet & Forget’s shower cleaner is perfect for people who loathe scrubbing the shower, but still want their shower to look sparkling clean." —Jeremy

5. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner in case you need to eliminate the sink stink from your kitchen. These cleaners, which use a bleach alternative and go straight into the disposal, scrub away buildup and nasty smells. In addition to cleaning your garbage disposal, they also work in drain pipes and septic systems.
Promising review: "Does your garbage disposal smell? Does it get slimy? Cleaning it is a disgusting job that I hated to do. This product makes it so simple and easy. Directions sound harder than they really are, and the foam cleaner is impressive in how fast it works. The garbage disposal is easily and thoroughly cleaned without having to touch any slimy part. I am a customer from now on!" —Varissa

Reviewers say this is a must for rust stains from hard water and high iron.
Promising review: "I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands down. I just sprayed, walked away for a few minutes, and wiped and rinsed." —Carrie D.

7. A pack of Clorox toilet cleaning tabs because nobody wants to lift the lid of their toilet and see a big old ring inside. These tabs, which you drop directly into the toilet tank, combat unpleasant odors, limescale buildup, and other stains. Simply wait five minutes, flush, and watch your toilet clean itself — no scrubbing necessary!
Your water will turn blue, which will help you know when it's time to toss another tablet into your tank, because the blue will have faded.
Promising review: "If you hate scrubbing your toilet bowl, these are the ticket! I am a nurse and a germaphobe. These tablets are great! My toilet bowls stay clean without scrubbing for four months! They do have a little bit of a chlorine scent, but not unbearable. My toilet bowl gets cleaned every time I flush. Nothing better on the market! Worth every penny!" —Ardelta

9. An enzyme-powered stain and odor eliminator spray for any pet parents who frequently encounter cat pee or dog vomit. This powerful cleaner works to remove stains and smells from a variety of surfaces (including carpet) in as little as 30 minutes!
To use, apply the product to the stain, and let sit for 30–60 minutes. Then blot and let air-dry. It also works for cleaning up kennels, pet carriers, and litter boxes. One reviewer even used it to clean up milk that had rotted in their carpet.
Promising reviews: "I wish I’d found this product 10 years ago. This is the absolute best cleaner I’ve used. Deep cleaning is easy since you spray and let it dry!" —Casa Koch
"Amazing! And we couldn’t be happier!! Imagine buying a brand new sofa, and within a week, your cat 'marked it' as his very own...the cushions no less. We tried so many things. Cat urine is no joke. And it only gets worse as the days go by. But this spray? The directions were easy, and the results FABULOUS!!!! If you have a cat who has these tendencies, or even accidents, buy this!! You will not be sorry!!!" —Karen Byrne

10. A robotic mop because we all know mopping isn't a day at the beach. As long as you steer clear of this gadget and let it work its magic on your floors, you can say goodbye to your dingy old mop and everything that comes with it, including that murky mop water.
It's also compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant devices for voice control.
Promising review: "I was a little price-leery on this but I've just been struggling to mop as much as I need to. I have three cats and I already have a regular vacuum robot that is amazing, but the idea of a mopping robot seemed different, like it wouldn't be helpful. Then after falling behind on cleaning we finally decided to splurge and buy one and omg — it's amazing. I should have given in a long time ago. My floors are so much cleaner because of this little mop robot." —Christina H.
Get it pre-owned from Amazon for $350.
11. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets if your washer has developed an unfortunate stench and could generally use a little refresh. These tablets clean the interior, deodorize it, and can help improve the appliance’s performance. To use, just pop a tablet in the empty machine, run it on a hot water cycle, and clean out any residue that might be left behind.
Promising reviews: "I always leave the door of my front loader washer open to dry out so it doesn't get moldy or smelly, but despite that, it had a funky smell. Being lazy and not wanting to do much to fix it, I decided to buy these and give them a try. I was surprised and thrilled to find the smell completely gone after using it just once! I will definitely continue to buy these and start using on a regular basis." —Jen
"All Imma say is get you some. I can’t believe what was in my washer. I have three young ones, and it disgusts me to know I was washing clothes in this filth!!! These Affresh cleaners didn’t disappoint. I’m using these once a month as recommended." —Carmel
Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $10.19.
12. A space-saving suspended storage hammock that proves it's worth it to get clever with your storage solutions. Shoppers love that this hammock fits in ~any~ corner, and keeps toys, stuffies, and more off the floor.
Promising reviews: "This is the second toy net that we've ordered for our home. My son has a myriad of stuffed animals and large plastic figures, and these toy nets are the best and easiest way to store them. It makes cleanup a snap, and it's easy for him to help, too! This hammock was easily installed and has stayed up since the first day we installed it. We love it!" —ReviewMama
"This net is great! It was suuuuper easy to install, holds a TON of animals and a lot of weight, and stretches to accommodate all of the strange shapes it needs to hold. It's very lightweight but sturdy. Such a huge mess saver!! We've had this in my daughter's room for a couple of years. It's never fallen, torn, or broken. And this thing gets some serious traffic! We even store extra buddies on the hooks that hold up the net! This is an amazing price for something that can keep your floors mess-free!" —cree
Get it from Amazon for $12.14.
13. A microfiber blinds duster to wipe away a year’s worth of dust, dander, and who knows what else in minutes. This tool, which comes with five reusable sleeves, works on two blinds at a time with one swift swipe. After just one use, you’ll realize this is much more efficient than using a dust rag or paper towel to get the job done.
The duster also works on air conditioner grates and car vents.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job...cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars." —Sandy D
Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99.
14. And a super-long duster in case you need to remove dust and other allergens from hard-to-reach areas in your home. Equipped with an extendable handle that stretches up to 8 feet, this lightweight duster is ideal for spots like air vents, ceiling fans, and even underneath your bed or fridge.
Promising review: "Wow, this is so easy to use and works very well. I wish I had upgraded sooner. I have a two-story house with some really high ceilings in some rooms, and I can get to the fans and lights; it's just the occasional corner cobweb I need a ladder for. You can bend the duster head to fit whatever you're dusting and get into places at angles my other duster couldn't. It cleans dust REALLY well — the dust collects on it quickly and effectively. It's VERY lightweight, so even fully extended and straight out away from you, it's comfortable to use. I also hire a housekeeping service on occasion, and the housekeeper loved this so much she asked for a link!" —K. Andrea
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in six colors and multiple configurations).
15. A beloved "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that'll remove any caked-on tomato sauce, chicken soup, and who knows what else from the interior of your appliance. To use, simply fill this gal up with water and vinegar, pop her in the microwave, and run it for seven minutes. Once she's done, just wipe it down, and every last inch will be spotless. Really!
Promising review: "I hate cleaning my microwave — let's face it, it's not for everybody. I'll admit it, I'm not patient enough. Then I got my Angry Mama. She did the work for me. Easy to use: Just add vinegar and water and set it for seven minutes. I was able to wipe out a couple of months' worth of splatter in just a few swipes and it smells so clean. Great price for this little gem. Highly recommend!" —MokaQueen
Get it from Amazon for $7.58+ (available in four colors).
16. A bottle of commercial-strength soap scum and grime cleaner that you need if the thought of cleaning the bathroom sends shivers down your spine. This product will leave drains and faucets looking brand-new and has a nice lemon scent since there is no bleach in the formula. Just spray and wipe the grime away!
Promising review: "Better than anything I've ever tried. My shower had nasty buildup from soap scum and goo. I didn’t want to touch it. I sprayed this on and just saturated it. I'm too lazy to scrub, so I opted to take my chances and come back later. It was working without scrubbing, so I reapplied. After three applications and zero scrubbing, it took almost all of the gag-worthy yuckiness off, and all I did was rinse. I will absolutely be buying by the gallon!!!" —cantno
The Bucko is a small biz based in Irvine, California that aims to solve life's little problems with its products.
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in three sizes).
17. A jetted tub cleaner to ensure your Jacuzzi (or any other tub with jets) will sparkle and shine, just like the day you first stepped into it. For the best results, fill your tub with water, add some cleaner, and run the jets for about 15 minutes. Once this process is complete, your jetted tub will be free of soap buildup and other gross grime.
Promising review: "Absolutely disgusting and amazing results! I have a jet tub that is used a handful of times a year and is about 15 years old. I’ve never deep cleaned it but just sort of ran the jets with detergent a few times. I bought this thinking 'let’s see what happens'...this product blew my mind. The product didn’t smell like much, 'til the jets turned on. Then, the smell was like musty mildew or sour milk. The gunk that came out of the jets was disturbing. As promised by the directions, I wiped off the tub with no scrubbing. It was easy peasy to use this product. Tub was sparkly clean, fresh smelling, and the gunk was all gone!" —AM

18. A set of two modern nesting storage tables that'll (almost) make your mess disappear. Each table has room for plenty of toys, blankets, and more, and when they're not filled with stuff, you can nest the smaller table inside the larger one.
The smaller table fits inside the larger one, so when they're not being used you can gain some extra space.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these tables! The tall one comes high enough to enjoy coffee or to eat. My favorite part about these tables is the storage! I love them because they don’t take up a ton of room and are easy to move around! Super happy with these!" —Drew

19. Or, an upholstered flip-top storage bench so you have the perfect spot to put on and take off your shoes, as well as a place to neatly store them. It's not clutter if you can't see it, right?
20. A carpet cleaner and spot remover for those who need to rid their carpets of any stubborn, mysterious stains. Safe to use around kids and pets, this cleaner works almost instantly after you apply it to a stain and rub it in. Use it on red wine, ink, pet-related messes, and more.
Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it for yourself!
Promising review: “I have tried every spot carpet cleaner that money can buy. This by far is the best. Literally, it is not only the best by removing stains (red wine was my taboo stain on white carpet!) but is also the easiest to use. No rubbing, letting it dry, and then vacuuming it up; no blotting with a lot of paper towels. You just spray it, and the stain miraculously disappears. This is a fabulous product and highly recommend." —Jennifer R.
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and in multi-packs).
21. An electric pressure washer with an 1,800-watt motor designed to clean cars, fences, decks, patios, and more. Since this machine is equipped with two removable detergent tanks, you can actually tackle a number of cleaning projects at once. Three cheers for efficiency!
Promising review: "Used to clean composite deck, patio, and PVC fence, none of which had been cleaned for over two years. Patio was the worst due to drainage issues. Our seven-year-old 12x12 deck looked new in less than 3 hours. Patio took longer but looked like fresh cement when done. The right amount of power to freshen up our good-looking backyard. Very efficient and I highly recommend this power washer." —CK1256
Get it from Amazon for $129.
22. A tub of OxiClean that can tackle nearly any stain in your home. This magic powder works on laundry, hard surfaces, and soft surfaces (think clothes, carpeting, and grout) and can even remove stains that have already set in.
Promising review: "Best stain remover ever. I love it! I use it on clothes as I resell clothing. The trick to this is soaking. I add the recommended amount on the packaging (sometimes a little more if stained badly) to a bucket or pail appropriate size for the item I am soaking and let it soak 3–5 days. Some colors will run, so for certain articles of colored clothing I soak separately. My uncle gave me a few pillowcases with heavy natural head grease stains, for me to try and get the stain out. He said his daughter said it was impossible. I proved her wrong, the OxiClean took the stains right out. These pillowcases had great sentimental value to him as these were ones he once shared with his late wife. I have also soaked dirty, grubby sneaker and they have come out looking like new (it won’t take away normal wear and tare), even the white soles cleaned up. I swear by this stuff." —luciddreamer
Get it from Amazon for $11.19
23. A stationary vacuum that's ideal for those who are tired of lugging an upright vacuum around the house or those who simply can't get on board with the robot vacuum craze. Simply sweep any dirt, crumbs, and dust into this touchless wonder and watch it disappear.
Promising review: "This thing is great. 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 sweep 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." —AC
EyeVac is a small biz that specializes in stationary vacuums to make home cleaning easier.
Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in seven colors/styles).
24. A Dawn dishwashing spray you need if you just can’t get those grease stains out of your favorite pan, no matter how hard you try. Also suitable for everyday dishes, laundry stains, and greasy wheels, this must-have doesn’t even need water to start working its magic — just spray and wipe. If you’ve got a ~really~ dirty dish, spray it and let it sit for a few minutes first.
Promising reviews: "I was skeptical at how quickly this would work on pans and it is really amazing! It makes clean up quick and easy." —Jilly P
"I use this all the time now. Just squirt into pans or dishes that need extra attention and leave it for a while. Come back and you can literally just wash the pan and put it away. If it is a really baked-on, leave it overnight. I have found it always comes off. Also been using for a stain removal and so far it has worked every time!" —Keg

25. An extendable tub and tile scrubber because who has time to get on their hands and knees and clean the bathroom floor? This cleaning tool extends over 3 feet and shines in hard-to-reach corners. It can even help you reach the top of your shower.
BTW, to lock it at the height you want, twist it like a tension rod.
Promising reviews: "This wand is amazing! My shower was embarrassingly dirty. I used this wand once, and the shower was clean. It barely took any effort, and didn't take hours of scrubbing on my hands and knees fighting hand cramps from gripping the sponge." —Emily
"Now, I don’t have to stand on the side of the tub to scrub the top of the shower walls. When cleaning with it, you barely have to put in any effort. Definitely something I wish I had a long time ago! 10/10 recommend!!" —Heather Swords
Get it from Amazon for $15.95 (available with scrubber refills, and also in another style).
26. A fast-acting Goo Gone kitchen degreaser that'll work some damn magic on the grease that's inevitably lurking on your stovetop, the oven hood, that wall behind your range, and anywhere else. Grease, begone!
It's safe to use on any surface including on ceramic, sealed stone, and tile.
Promising review: "I wish I took before and after pictures but honestly I didn’t expect it to work. Let me tell you this product is SORCERY. I’m moving and had cabinets and a fridge I needed to clean that were filthy. The spills were caked on, think fridge spills that never got cleaned and seasonings that spilled and had formed just the grossest gunk. I was certain I wasn’t going to get the stains out of the fridge and cabinets. I sprayed the product and let sit for 2 minutes and I knew it was working because the foam had visibly lifted the gunk and grime. I simply wiped with a paper towel and EVERYTHING came off. No scrubbing and no damage. You NEED this for your kitchen!!!!!" —Amber A.
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes).
27. An oven cleaner that'll have your frequently used appliance looking as good as new. This fume-free version removes grease and burnt bits from every crevice of your oven and also works wonders on your stovetop and outdoor grill.
Promising review: "I came across this product in an online article, and of course, I was super skeptical...so I gave it a shot. I decided to do the overnight clean as I wasn't sure it would work in one hour (there are two options: one hour and overnight). Next morning I opened my oven, and with a damp sponge began to wipe (not scrub), and to my shock, the goop and gunk just wiped off...actually WIPED OFF! I also sprayed the racks, and they wiped off stupendously. I am passing the word on to all my friends and family because this stuff REALLY WORKS!! This oven was over 10 years old and used daily." —Amelia Turner
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
28. A tub of reusable cleaning gel that’ll remove dirt and debris from pretty much every surface you can think of. Thanks to its sticky texture, this putty-like substance thrives in tricky-to-clean spots like computer keyboards, car consoles, and TV remotes.
The gel is non-sticky and lemon-scented. It's also biodegradable, so when you're ready to toss it, you won't be hurting Mother Earth. 🌎
Promising review: "I'm both cheap and lazy, leading me to purchase a lot of used electronics such as old laptops. I don't like taking the keyboards off the laptops that I purchase (lazy) to clean them so I figured I'd try this sticky goo to clean in the cracks. This product was awesome; it took a hot minute to kinda get the spread, flatten, and massage motion down to best get the ick off the keyboard, but after that, the magic began. The gross residue started coming up and, to my surprise, it started pulling up hidden hairballs that had been long hidden in the depths of the keyboard. I'm thrilled with the result and totally recommend picking it up if you want a low-tech cleaning option." —sfjones86
