1. A 12-pack of water bottle cleaning tablets for making yucky reusable bottles feel as if you just bought them from the store all over again.
Tablets are biodegradable, chlorine-free, all-natural, and environmentally safe. They're individually packaged, and don't require any additional brushing or scrubbing. Good for use on stainless steel bottles, mugs, hydration reservoirs, coolers, dishes, and hard-to-clean plastic containers and bottles.
Promising review: "In all fairness, I first heard of this product while watching Shark Tank, and their pitch was impressive so I gave the underdog a try. Now, I'm on my fourth re-order. My whole family drinks out of various name brand bottles, coffee mugs, etc. The fact is, they are rarely cleaned because they are a part of our daily lives and they are a pain in the ar$e to clean, because of the inconvenience that they are not dishwasher-safe, or don't fit. The answer is these tablets. They work and they're simple to use." —K.R.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
2. A water mark remover cloth to get rid of those pesky ringlet stains on your furniture — you warned your family and guests to use a coaster but, of course, they didn't listen!
Cloth is reusable, and can be used to remove marks on wood caused by water, alcohol, and heat. It can also be used to polish metal and chrome.
Promising review: "I must admit I ordered this as a last hope. I had a mark on my bedside table that I tried various things to remove, but was totally unsuccessful. I tried this today, and there is NO sign of the mark. It is like brand new again. I was thrilled with the result and highly recommend it to anyone, but would suggest you try it first to save yourself grief! It is inexpensive in the first place, but to know I can reuse it if necessary on another mark, (hopefully that doesn't occur, but life happens), makes it an even better value." —Kritik
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
3. A rust stain remover spray that'll be no match on even the toughest of rust stains. Sorry rust, you will be missed — NOT.
It comes in an easy-to-use trigger spray and is ideal for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. Plus, it's non-abrasive, and made with non-hydrofluoric acid based formula which is safer than other similar liquid rust stain removers.
Promising review: "Wow! This is the best rust removing product I've ever used! I live in the country with my own well, and the water is very high in iron. Honestly, this product is a lifesaver." —Mela
Get it from Amazon for $4.98.
4. A carpet cleaning solution for those whose home deserves a million dollar-looking floor, but their bank account is begging them not to call Stanley Steemer.
This stuff both cleans AND deodorizes carpets. It can be used in pretty much all machines — Hoover, Bissell, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, Carpet Express. The solution works on all water-safe surfaces like carpets, rugs, furniture, and automobiles. Plus, it's biodegradable and non-toxic.
Promising review: "This works like a dream. I have light beige carpets, and this gets all the dirt and stains right out." —Karen M.
Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (originally $29.97).
5. A pack of headlight cleaning wipes to ensure you're driving a heck of a lot safer — foggy headlights are a hazard to you and everyone else on the road.
Comes with one wipe that's big enough to clean two headlights. Just wipe, and that's it!
Promising review: "I was amazed by how easy it was to use. When I originally went for my state inspection, they failed me because my headlights were hazy. Used this product, and they got my headlights clear. Went back and passed inspection. Far cheaper than the $100 the shop was going to charge to restore them." —Jake37
Get them from Amazon for $3.99 (originally $5.99).
6. A two-pack of Bar Keepers Friend multi-purpose cleaner that'll get your kitchen, bathroom, and even cookware (see incredible example below) shining brighter than the top of the Chrysler building!
For those who are fans of the Bar Keepers Friend Classic Cleanser and Polish, this delivers the same results, but in a pre-mixed formula to make for a quicker clean. It works well against rust stains, tarnish, mineral deposits, soap scum, and indoor and outdoor grime, and is especially good on the following surfaces: stainless steel, brass, bronze, copper alloys, aluminum, ceramic, porcelain, glass, corian. Recommended to use in the kitchen (sinks, cookware, stove cooktops and exteriors, oven door windows, non-stone countertops, and plates to buff out knife marks), bathroom (sinks, bathtubs, showers, faucets, toilets, tile, and grout), and outdoors (rust stains, grills, vehicles, siding, and sporting equipment).
Promising review: "I was so bummed when I scratched up my pretty white sink with pots and pans. I thought I'd need to have it replaced or try to sand it and refinish it somehow, but I bought this stuff as a last ditch effort to fix it myself. It takes some elbow grease to make them go away, the scratches don't just wipe off. But if you scrub at them for a few minutes they melt away pretty quickly. After two rounds my sink looks nearly brand new again. It also worked on a few mineral stains in my bathtub that I thought were permanent after soft scrub failed to remove them. Again, a little of this stuff, the scrubby side of a blue sponge, a little bit of effort and they were gone!" —Dan Borden
Get them from Amazon for $9.53.
7. A ToiletWand cleaning system for solid, visual proof of any sort of "wand" having real, magical powers.
Comes with one ToiletWand, one storage caddy, and six disposable ToiletWand refills to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Just click the wipe onto the wand, swish, scrub, and clean the bowl, pop the wipe off, and dispose in the trash.
Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $8.79.
8. A suede brush cleaner to stop you from having to pay absurd amounts of $$ to the shoemaker after every few wears of your blue suede shoes... or whatever color your shoes are.
Good for cleaning boots, shoes, coats, jackets, furniture, dance shoes, and sneakers, and is compatible with sprays, foams, eraser, and cleaning kits.
Promising review: "BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered ruined for several years now, and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. This is absolutely worth getting!" —Gaby Scott
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
9. A four-pack of keyboard cleaners that'll shine up your devices without judging you for being messy as hell when you eat or drink.
This is non-toxic and biodegradable and effective in removing 99.99% of harmful particles on everyday surfaces. To use, dry your hands before using, take the gel out, pinch to your desired shape, lay the gel on the surface you're cleaning, press it down two or three times, and then lift it up. Fold the gel in half and start fresh with a clean side, before storing away in the bag it comes in.
Promising review: "I was totally skeptical! I read the reviews of how wonderful this product is and how it makes your keyboard look like new and I half-believed it. OMG! This stuff is awesome. I bought it for my office computer and literally had people gather around watching as my keyboard cleaned beautifully! I passed it around and everyone else had the same result." —Amanda M
Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (originally $25).
10. A pet hair eraser vacuum for taking care of what is the only slightly negative thing about having a furry animal in your house — the HAIR. Everything else is great tho, we stan pets, go adopt a pet.
Features multi-layer filtration, and a 16 ft. power cord. Includes two specially-designed nozzles to pull out dirt and hair from areas like the stairs and upholstery.
Promising review: "Holy crap!! Are you skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online? ME TOO! That's why I figured all of these rave reviews were a crock of crap. I've seriously bought every kind of vacuum out there, including the Rumba, which is about as intelligent as a Q-tip. But I have four cats and a golden retriever, so I was getting desperate! I believe the saying is… a picture is worth a thousand words. Check mine out! Of note — the 'before' picture was taken of my dog's bed AFTER it went through the washer and dryer. Look at all of that left behind hair!!! And the 'after' picture was taken after only THREE MINUTES spent vacuuming her bed. I. Am. SOLD! BTW, I've NEVER taken the time to review a product before, just FYI." —Luka Chan
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (originally $34.99).

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
12. A magnetic spot scrubber that'll make cleaning glass quick, easy, and maybe even... fun?!
Eraser is composed of two pieces — the magnetic scrubber and the magnetic handle. It cleans glass without scratching or cracking (BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T WANT EITHER OF THOSE THINGS TO HAPPEN), and has a large handle for a comfy grip. Just place the scrubber inside the glass vessel, align the handle from the outside, and then control where it scrubs using the handle.
Promising review: "Most awesome cleaner. I saw this item on a YouTube video that highlighted neat, inexpensive inventions. I immediately ordered through Amazon and tried it out on a heavily used clear vase. For the first go, I'm very pleased. Takes a little to get used to, because the magnet is strong." —sarah
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in four colors).
13. A wine stain remover for being able to sit back, relax, and ENJOY your red wine without having any fear whatsoever about what might happen if a spillage occurs.
Works on both fresh and dry stains, with no need for bleach or phosphates. It also works on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine, and pet accidents. Plus, it has a fresh citrus scent! Can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint, graffiti, and degrease surfaces.
Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie Nolen

Promising review: "This works so well as a stain remover and is so easy to use! Just throw it in the washer with laundry detergent and the stains disappear! As the mother of an infant son who is constantly spitting up, I couldn't be happier with the convenience and effectiveness of this product." —Lindsey Jebb

16. A tile grout cleaning brush for finally ditching the toothbrush, and cleaning your floors the RIGHT way.
Brush helps to remove dirt, bacteria, and superficial mold from the tile joints and seams. The handle and bristles can be cleaned by washing in hot water, without worry of losing shape.
Promising review: "This is just what you need to clean your grout lines in the quickest way possible! I don't know what we were thinking when we decided to put subway tile in our shower, but we did, and cleaning the grout lines can be a very time-consuming job. But this brush really did a great job and sped up the process!" —Amanda E. King
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in six colors).
17. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner to get mad at you like a mother would, because how in the heck did you let your microwave get to this point? But hey, she's a mama, and in the end she's gonna clean up the mess you made because she loves you too much to let you do it all on your own.
Just add vinegar and water, and microwave for seven minutes — voila! The steam comes out of her head and softens dirt and stains to make for easy wiping.
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $4.74.
18. A pumice cleaning stone that'll scratch away at those — TBH, pretty repulsive — toilet stains without leaving horrid scratch marks in the bowl.
It's over 40% denser than similar products so it has a longer life! The handle allows you to keep your hands clean while cleaning the toilet. It removes calcium, lime, and hard-water stains using gentle abrasive action, and cleans porcelain fixtures, hard-water stains, pool tile, toilet bowls, barbecues, steel, and stone.
Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching." —Happy Retiree
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
19. A wood polish and conditioner for bringing your precious wooden furniture back to factory condition. Did you just get your entire house re-done by an HGTV crew, or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products?

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so I was hand scrubbing it for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower cleaner than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door, everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry
Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in six colors).
21. A jar of mink oil that'll condition and waterproof your leather products. We all know you didn't spend more than half of your last paycheck on those fancy AF shoes just to throw them out the second they show any sign of wear.
Good to use on leather boots, shoes, purses, jackets, hats, baseball gloves, saddles, and harnesses. The oil helps to create a waterproof barrier against things that might cause damage or wear to leather. It dries within minutes, but it's recommended to test first, because it might darken some leathers.
Promising review: "This brought back three pairs of my boots from the verge of death. The boots were dried out and stiff with age and neglect, but one heavy application of this mink oil softened them up and they look good again!" —Nakz96744
Get it from Amazon for $2.99 (originally $8.77).

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
23. A bottle of Goo Gone adhesive remover to make sticky things get... unstuck, hehe. But seriously, I can attest to how great this stuff is — I literally got someone else's gum stuck on my coat (EW), and this stuff removed it effortlessly. *Breathes big sigh of relief.*

Get it from Amazon for $7.88.

Promising review: "For a $5 item, this can really solve a major clog issue! I managed to clean out my bathtub drain, and now it works great. I also cleaned out my bathroom sink, which was drawing fine, but since I was already grossed out by the slimed hair I pulled out of the tub... I'm so happy to have found this little tool and suggest everyone have one on-hand for clogs." —Tammy Parker
Get it from Amazon for $5.01.

Good for removing spots and stains from colorfast carpet, rugs, upholstery, and clothing without leaving a sticky residue or needing to rinse or vacuum. To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with absorbent cloth. This is non-toxic and should be non-irritating on the skin!
Promising review: "I had terrible rust and oil stains all over the seats of my car when I bought it. I tried other cleaners to get it out, but they actually made the stains darker. I took it to the dealership to see if they could get it out and they flat out told me no, so I gave up and lived with it for almost five years. I tried this after it was recommended by a friend. I sprayed it on and literally watched the stain run right off my seat. It was amazing! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace the seats in my car because nothing else would work. This stuff really is awesome!" —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $11.19.
27. A high-pressure steam cleaner that'll target residue on hard surfaces without needing chemicals or dangerous fumes. Just good ole' water. OR if you're feeling really ~fancy,~ try using distilled water.

Promising review: "This worked like a champ cleaning the grout in the kitchen and bathrooms of the house I just purchased. 40-year-old house and maybe 40-year-old stains. This steamed them out, and even got paint off the hardwood. Nice. Couldn't recommend it more, it did exactly what I needed it to." —W. Pickel
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (originally $49.99).
28. An eight-count of Magic Erasers to make cleaning the bathtub as fast and easy as it is to get home at the end of a day, and ditch responsibilities or a social life in favor of a bubble bath and a full bottle of vino, maybe two. Not that I'm speaking from personal experience or anything.
Good for use to remove hard water in bathtubs, soap scum on shower glass, grime on tile and grout, and hairspray and toothpaste residue on counters. Just add water to activate!
Promising review: "These things are amazing! We have a rental property and the tenants trashed the house. I went to clean up and brought along these Magic Erasers. The bathroom was in really bad shape. I gagged for a portion of my scrubbing. These worked wonders. I'd say that they probably cut my cleaning time in half. Water stains, grime, whatever it was that those tenants left on the floor near the toilet...it left everything looking as brand-new as it could. Saved me a lit of time and headache. Highly recommend these little guys. They pack a punch!" —Crista Nalezny
