1. A power scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your living space look brand freakin' new.
Useful Products is a small business based in New York. Its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.
It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
Promising review: "This is my favorite thing I’ve ever purchased. I’m not a review writer, but I couldn’t help myself. Soooo satisfying. It cleans literal years of grime in minutes. If you’re on the fence, just do it — you won’t regret it!" —Davia DeFries
Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in several brush stiffness levels).
2. Water bottle cleaning tablets to get your beloved drinking bottle back to the condition it was in when you first fell in love with it at the store. I, for one, don't feel like taking a brush and soap and scrubbing away, and I'm going to make the assumption that you don't want to either.
Tablets are biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Good for use on stainless-steel bottles, mugs, hydration reservoirs, coolers, dishes, and hard-to-clean plastic containers and bottles.
Promising review: "I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." —Erin Fleming
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
3. A handy dandy weeding tool so you can easily pluck up those unsightly plants without having to bend, pull, or kneel.
Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier!
Promising review: "I saw this tool used on TikTok, so we decided to try it out. It works really well — is not difficult to get to the root of the weed, and is fairly simple to use, as well. We would recommend this tool to anyone who finds it difficult to do the crouching required to pull weeds." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
4. A garbage disposal foaming cleaner that'll tackle built-up grime and those nasty smells you gag at every time you're near your kitchen sink. It's truly so...disgusting.
Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." —KS
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $3.78.
5. A microfiber spin mop so you can clean away dirt, grime, and whatever else is living on your floors with...get this...JUST WATER! Plus, the mop heads themselves are reusable for about three months and you can toss them in the washing machine to clean them!
You get the mop, bucket, and two refill heads.
Promising review: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this based on 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 and 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 $52.04.
6. Or a pair of mop slippers to wear over bare feet, shoes, or place over your Swiffer for wiping the floors as you walk or preventing stains and scuffs from your footwear.
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 $15.99.
7. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.
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.
8. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.35.
9. A four-bag laundry sorter because throwing all of your dirty clothes and linens into one basket and having to sort it all before doing your laundry is annoying! Now all you need to do going forward is place it in the right basket and it's ready to go come laundry day!
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. We’re a family of five, so I always have something to wash, and I was tired of separating by colors. Now it's easy, and everybody can do it. It's a simple process for everyone. Now my kids think that it is fun to be separating the clothes and I’m fine with that, ha. I used a stencil and a Sharpie to tag the bags — so easy and l loved the results! Took me 20 minutes to assemble with my 9-year-old son. Looks nice and the bags have a good quality and great capacity. It’s make laundry so easy!!!!" —Lourdes
Get it from Amazon for $40.97 (available in five colors).
10. A pet hair remover glove that'll not only make it easier to brush your fluffy friend (because anyone who owns a furry pet understands the struggle) but also catches the hair as you do it so you can quickly dispose of it afterward! After all, spring is shedding season. Why not get ahead of it?
BuzzFeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan says: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn’t be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet’s fur. That’s it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works), but it’s no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was 5, and he’d been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand."
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
11. And if your home has already become grounds for mounds of fur, you'll want a pet hair remover that you simply swipe over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie. It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers!
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 $26.99+ (available in two colors).
12. Plus a pet hair removal broom and squeegee that'll help you get rid of the furry mess your pet leaves behind better than your bulky vacuum ever could. It might not be visible to the naked eye, but you just KNOW it's living in your carpet...and TBH...it's quite gross.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can’t always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." —Theo Ackerman
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

13. Dishwasher cleaning tablets because the machine you rely on to clean the things you use to eat shouldn't be gunking them up even more. These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help get rid of lime and mineral buildup that naturally occurs inside dishwashers.
These are safe to use in stainless-steel tubs and plastic tub dishwashers.
Promising review: "I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, Tip Hero, etc. But this time, I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well-maintained, and I struggled to clean 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 six-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
14. And while you're at it, a pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to ensure your clothes are being washed in a machine that's shiny and clean.
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 $9.33.
15. A dryer vent cleaning kit because, be honest, when's the last time you checked and cleaned out all the lint accumulating in your machine? Don't worry; we're not here to judge. We're just here recommending that you buy this kit so your dryer can run more efficiently.
Promising review: "Work perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these; they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, reduce fire hazards, and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." —Winged Wolf
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
16. A pumice toilet bowl ring remover so you can easily scratch away at those yucky stains without leaving behind scratch marks in the bowl.
Promising review: "When we bought our previously owned condo, all three of the toilets had a permanent dark ring. I must have tried at least six different cleaning products that claimed to eliminate rings. None worked. I was actually considering buying new toilets as the ring was embarrassing to me. A friend recommended the pumice toilet bowl ring remover, and I was prepared to be disappointed again. But it worked perfectly. The ring is gone on all three toilets, and it only took a few minutes per toilet. I don't know when I have ever been so totally satisfied with a product. It just saved me a whole lot of money, and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my toilets." —lynn mcdonald
Get it from Amazon for $11.45.
17. And a toilet tank cleaner that'll leave that area you never even THINK about cleaning looking good as new. And guess what? No scrubbing required! You can thank us later.
Promising review: "I couldn’t believe how well this worked in my toilet tank. I could barely see the bottom before I used this because it was so stained and rusty. It looked brand new after I used it! Amazing!" —Allison Hilbig
Get it from Amazon for $7.40.
18. An all-purpose cleaner featuring a list of just five readable ingredients you'll be glad to use for all your cleaning needs. Plus, it'll leave your home smelling super yummy!
Humble Suds is a woman-owned Etsy shop based in Denver. They sell plant-based cleaning products boasting ingredient lists that never contain more than six ingredients.
Promising review: "I love this new essential oil scent. It smells amazing and disinfects naturally, and I trust the simple, natural ingredients. I use this spray on everything — counters, toilets, cooktops — even mirrors because it doesn’t leave streaks! I have now replaced all my previous cleaning products with a couple of Humble Suds products that work on every surface of our home. I feel incredibly grateful to have found this brand for the health of my family." —Andrealaine White
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95.
19. A scrap collector you can attach to a cutting board or your kitchen counter to make cleanup after meal prep a faster process. This also makes it easier to utilize those food scraps for compost so it's a great way to help the environment, too!
This also includes a brush/scraper that fits neatly in the front pocket to easily swipe scraps and crumbs into the container.
Promising review: "Works just as described. It is so convenient to push scraps from the counter or cutting board into the scrap trap. Even though it is too big, place a plastic shopping bag in before you fill it and you will have the scraps bagged when you are done. It keeps things neat when doing prep work. Also bought one as a gift. Everyone who cooks should have one." —SR
Get it from Amazon for $25.36.
20. A wall-mounted organizer ideal for hanging inside your home to hold cleaning supplies like brooms and mops or in your garage/yard to store things such as gardening tools.
21. A natural oven scrub cleaner so the appliance you use to roast yummy veggies, bake sweet treats, and heat up frozen pizzas will be clean as can be.
This comes with a jar of oven scrub as well as a professional-grade metallic scrubber. You can use this to clean your enamel oven, racks, and the oven door's interior glass panel. Everneat is an Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut that sells 100% natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths.
Promising review: "LOVE IT! The oven door is a constant struggle. I hate chemical cleaners, so I thought I would try this. I bought the Lift scent and the unscented. The Lift smells fantastic, natural, not chemical-y, and the Clear truly is unscented. Works beautifully! I think the combo of grit in the scrub plus the metal scrubby are magic together. I wore nitrile gloves, and the scrubby did end up poking a hole in them, so keep that in mind if you just got a mani or don’t want rough nails — use thick gloves. It does require elbow grease because, hello, baked on bits of grease! But was very simple to use. I just smeared it on, added a little H2O to the scrubby, and went to town. Very impressed! I used not even 5% of one jar (for just the very dirty door), so it seems like it will last a while. Way better than BKF and wipes off easily. LOVE IT!!" —aniebauer
Get it from Everneat on Etsy or Amazon for $19.99 (available in three scents).
22. And some Non-stick oven liners for catching things like crumbs and other food particles/residue, so all you have to do is clean these liners and not the oven itself.
Promising review: "I have a non–self cleaning oven for the first time in decades. After having an apple pie spill over and spending more than an hour cleaning it up, I purchased these oven liners. What a time-saver. They are easy to cut, so they fit perfectly. Because I have a visible heating element, the liner goes right on the oven floor, under the heating element." —K L Barnes-O'Connor
Get a three-pack from Amazon for $13.99.
23. Plus!! A pack of stove covers to help catch remnants of whatever it is you're whipping up in your pots and pans so it isn't a pain in the butt to clean directly off your gas range later. Phew!
Promising review: "These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off, or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame, but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stovetop, lol. This has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" —AngsChaos
Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three sizes and five color combos).
24. A rust stain remover spray you can basically think of as fairy pixie dust in a bottle. That rust stain that's been living rent-free on your shower wall since you moved in? The one you always have to be sure to cover-up with a shower curtain? Yeah, time to say goodbye to it for good.
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 a non-hydrofluoric acid-based formula, which is safer than other similar liquid rust stain removers.
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.
Get a bottle on Amazon for $11.55.
25. A time-saving blind cleaner tool for getting dust and other gross particles off a spot you may normally forget to clean, multiple slats at once!
Comes with five microfiber cloths that pick up dust easier and faster. The sleeves can be washed and reused.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is 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.
26. A stationary vacuum you can basically think of as a the coolest dust pan in the world. Clean floors have never been so easy to achieve.
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." —Mary C
Get it from Amazon for $149+ (available in seven colors and two styles).
27. A screen cleaning spray + microfiber cloth set to give your television, laptop, and other tech screens a scratch-free reset with a quick spray and wipe.
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, 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.
28. A pack of toilet tabs — simply drop one of these into the bowl, let it dissolve, and give it a quick scrub with a brush. Plus, they come in a variety of awesome scents like lavender, peppermint, lemongrass, citrus, and more!
Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small business based in Covington, Georgia that sells natural cleaning, body and hair products, candles, and more!
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."
Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).
