1. A fume-free oven cleaner so powerful you might just convince yourself you replaced your oven altogether. This heavy-duty cleaner can remove grime, stains, and caked-on food!
Promising review: "I don’t normally write reviews, but HOLY MOLY if you’re looking for an oven cleaner, BUY THIS ONE!! I’m fairly sure no one has ever cleaned my oven since the day it was installed in this apartment many years ago, and I’m embarrassed to admit that includes me (seven years living here). I wiped up spills and such after cooking, but never did a deep clean before because I thought it was going to be a gargantuan task. I sprayed on a layer of Easy Off foam, let it sit overnight, and started wiping it off with a wet sponge the next day. Talk about 'easy to remove' — this cut through YEARS of baked-on grease splatter like it was nothing. My sponge was black after the first swipe, but I could actually see clean metal! Many rinses/wipes later, I have an oven that looks almost new." —L. Lietzke
Get it from Amazon for $8.98.
2. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because it'll erase life's little messes in the blink of an eye. Those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains will be a thing of the past!
Promising reviews: "The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G-2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and through the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6x12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!" —Bob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
3. A bleach-free multi-purpose outdoor cleaner you can safely use on fabrics and around plants, so you don't have to worry about your rose garden as you wash the pavement around it. You'll be able to remove grime and dirt from your deck, siding, patio, patio furniture, boat, fence...you get it.
Promising review: "I used to use a spray that ended up harming the plants it came in contact with. But then I switched to Scotts Outdoor. Just spray on, scrub where needed, then rinse. It does not bother my garden plants at all. My siding and garage door look refreshed. I use it once every year." —Ms. Rose
Get it from Amazon for $10.98.
4. Or a multi-surface, bleach-free Wet & Forget outdoor cleaner to get rid of the moss, mold, mildew, and/or algae staining up your walkway. All you have to do is spray your outdoor surface and over time, the stains will be lifted away. No scrubbing required!
Promising review: "I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." —PM in NH
Get it from Amazon for $19.94.
5. A water mark remover cloth if you've got guests with no home training leaving rings all over your furniture. This cloth will get rid of marks, scratches, and blemishes.

6. A bottle of red wine stain remover since pinot noir is too good to have to sacrifice in order to keep your carpets and clothes clean. Just shake, spray, and wait. Then keep sipping!
Promising review: "I spilled red wine on my new white shirt and after feeling sad and mopey, I decided to try this! It worked like a charm, the stain came out, and it was a good price. Instead of trying to get your shirt dry cleaned try this first because it will save you time and money!" —Cora S.
Get it from Amazon for $9.59.
7. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner.

Promising review: "I don't write many reviews and I was totally skeptical but OMG I'm in love! I've purchased so many products to try to clean the marks in my sink and nothing worked. I used it on my stovetop and was amazed how well it cleaned it that I moved on to my sink." —Christina

Get it from Amazon for $12.57.
9. A concentrated leather cleaner that's hard on dirt and gentle on fabric so your old and stained couch will look as good as it did the day you bought it.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I knew my couches were dirty but I didn't realize they were this bad off. Prior to switching to Leather Honey I was using leather wipes from another company. Those wipes didn't do much for dirt removal as I am now seeing. The leather is a yellow cream color but the sofas were looking gray. Leather Honey took the dirt right off. I left the solution to soak in for two minutes in the more problematic areas and then wiped it off clean." —Ruby Vazquez
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes).
10. A non-toxic spot remover — simply apply a drop and wait for the magic to happen. No more grass, blood, coffee, rust, or ink stains on your white couch!
Promising review: "My toddlers colored my couch with pink Sharpie. I tried everything to get the stain out, but it wouldn’t budge. Two months later, I found this stuff and thought to give it a try. Oh. My. Word. The stain is totally gone. With a few doses, I got it all the way out. Now I want to go and tackle every old stain I have. This stuff is a miracle." —Just Me
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available as a pack of two and three).
11. An EcoTools makeup brush cleansing shampoo because the black eyeshadow brushes you've been using used to be white. This hypoallergenic shampoo will return your brushes and sponges to their former glory.
Promising review: "I hate washing my brushes. I've always done it by hand and it's always caused the big fluffy powder brushes to feel rougher or become matted no matter how hard I try to reshape them. I got this solution and used it with a makeup brush spinner, and I couldn't BELIEVE how amazing my brushes were afterwards! I also have sensitive skin and most any soap I put on a brush will cause me to breakout when I use it later, no matter how well I typically rinse it. But I really think that this cleaner + the brush spinner worked great and I haven't had any sensitive bumps on my skin since using them!" —Chelsea
Get it from Amazon for $6.29.

Promising review: "This is my second time buying this. I continue to be amazed by all the things this gets out of clothes! My husband somehow manages to get stains on every single pair of pants he wears. But no stains are a match for this stuff! Also I have a 9-month-old and I spray this on all her clothes and no more food stains or those mysterious gray stains she used to get on all the collars of her onesies. Don’t waste your time getting one bottle, get the two-pack!" —Bekah & Tim
Get it from Amazon for $7.91 (also available in multi-packs).

Promising reviews: "I’ve used this stuff on shower mold and mold that got in the seams of my garage fridge. It works like magic." —Chris Collier
"We've been struggling with mold/mildew stains in our shower and front load washer for quite some time. Nothing bought at the grocery store or hardware store would work. We found this product and used as directed and wow, what a difference! This is the only product that has helped remove those stains. Highly recommended!" —David B. Neely
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and in a multi-pack).

Promising review: "I NEVER write reviews but HOLY MOLY this stuff is the best shower cleaner I've ever used. I have SCRUBBED my bathtub floor with Magic Erasers, The Pink Stuff, rags, toothbrushes!!!

17. A pack of Bottle Bright cleaning tablets if regular ole soap and water hasn't gotten rid of the tough stains and odors in your travel mugs and water bottles. The best part is, there's no scrubbing involved. So you get super clean gear with minimal effort!
Promising review: "The stuff that came out of our stainless-steel coffee/tea tumblers after letting this product sit for awhile was both fascinating and disgusting. We clean them after every use with either hot soapy water, or the dishwasher if they’re made for that. But after years of constant use, we kept noticing there would be a shadow of darkness on what was once super shiny stainless steel. These little tablets took away the shadows and brought them back to their full glory. Worth every penny and then some." —SquishyCreamPuff
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $8.

Get it from Sunny & Honey on Amazon for $19.99.

Promising review: "Buy it!!! You need to buy this product!!! This gel starts working almost immediately after applying it. I’m renting an apartment that previous renters didn’t take really good care of. Unfortunately, bathroom caulking is something landlords don’t replace often. So I’ve been battling moldy caulking ever since I started to live here. I have bought every product in the shelves to get rid of the mold, but they don’t work. Finally I stumbled upon this product recommendation and I decided that I’ll give it a try before replacing the caulk myself. And WOW! It actually worked!!!" —Damaris Nieves
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "I am so impressed with its performance! This compact cleaner packs a powerful punch, tackling tough stains and spills on both carpets and upholstery. One of the best things about this cleaner is its portability. It's lightweight and easy to carry, making it perfect for spot cleaning or tackling smaller messes. The long power cord also makes it easy to move around the room without having to constantly switch outlets. The suction power is impressive, and it easily lifts dirt and stains from the fibers of my carpets and upholstery. Plus, the water tank and dirty water tank are easy to fill and empty, making cleanup a breeze. Another great feature of this cleaner is its versatility.

Promising review: “I’m pretty sure there is magic in these. I have spent so many hours scrubbing at different spots on my area rugs (compliments of my dog's sensitive stomach) and there are still spots that just won’t come clean. You literally lay these down, step on them for a few seconds, and walk away. I generally leave it for 24 hours but I’m not sure if that’s really necessary. The next day you can see the stain on the pad and the rug is spotless.” —mmallia

22. A multi-fabric stain remover if your couch, mattress, and carpet look incredibly, uhhhh, lived on. Just spray, wait, and blot!
Promising review: “I just got a brand-new mattress and my cat got locked in my room and peed on my mattress in two places, leaving two big yellow SMELLY stains! I was worried about finding a product that would be OK on my pillow top mattress. I was skeptical at first with the product being so cheap but the reviews had me sold! I sprayed it on my mattress liberally and waited five minutes as instructed. It says to blot but with my stains I scrubbed and was amazed when the stain started to disappear. I repeated one time and I honestly can’t locate where the stains used to be! Super impressed! Like others I also really appreciated the nice fragrance! Didn’t smell like chemicals at all!” —Hailey Brown
Get it from Amazon for $4.97.

Promising review: "These wipes are the best! I used them to clean my white and black Air Force Luxes and they came out looking brand new. They do squish out a lot of suds when using them, so I recommend having a rag nearby if it bothers you too much. But overall, amazing product!" —Rosalba Martinez
Get two packs of 30 wipes from Amazon for $14.90.

Promising review: "I've been looking for a cleaning product that would remove the stains from my acrylic sink without damaging the surface. I FOUND IT!! This product is unbelievable. Yes, it does require an investment of time and elbow grease, but the results were amazing. It removed stains that had been in my white acrylic sink for quite some time and left the surface squeaky clean, smooth and shiny, without a scratch. If you have an acrylic sink, this is the product for you. I HIGHLY recommend it!! I'm going to try it on my mother's enamel sink next, and definitely intend to buy Hope's Perfect Sink again. It DOES live up to its name!!" —Beckett
Get it from Amazon for $8.95.

Promising review: "I honestly did not think this product would work! I tried nearly everything, including the sample that came with my black glass stove. I squirted the product onto the stove top and used a damp scrub pad. Most of the built-up brown stains and white streaks came off with minimal scrubbing effort. What impressed me was that the white streaks were 95% gone as well! Nothing took these off before. I highly recommend this product! The only thing I will use from now on!" —Natalie

We tried this product and it worked immediately, restoring everything to like new. It was fast and really worked! We even used it to clean our glass stove top. It was amazing how clean it got things. I have a bad back and have to be careful about scrubbing things and it takes no effort to use. We use it in our new house and love it!" —Bradley
