1. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy! Use consistently for best results.
Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo

Simply place it in your Crockpot like you would a trash bag, add all of your ingredients, cook, and then when you're all done...just trash the liner!

5. A powerful dishwasher detergent that'll get rid of hard water stains and mineral buildup and leave behind a fresh, lemony scent. Now you won't have to scrub clean dishes that already went through a cleaning cycle.
Promising review: "I've tried other ways to remove hard water (vinegar, lemon, etc...) and it was only mildly effective. All the glasses and dishes were still coarse and spotty. Glisten, however, and in a matter of only two loads of dishes, has not only completely cleaned the glasses and dishes, but the washer as well. Seriously, the inside of the tub looked new again. There was absolutely no buildup or limescale anymore inside the tub or drying element. The glasses are now absolutely spotless. I highly recommend this product as it worked very well for me when all other products or home remedies failed." —James

Promising review: "Something I didn't believe until I tried it. So easy to follow directions written on Angry Mama. Was disappointed when I opened the microwave to see the filth still on it. Was wishing it would magically taken care of itself. But all it took was a quick swipe with a paper towel and GONE. Loosened everything, which is half the process. My microwave was sooooo white once cleaned!! Would buy as gifts." —JDesmond

Promising review: "I had mold on my bathroom ceiling and decided to try this. I had used all kinds of home remedies for mold and nothing worked. This product does just as it says. I sprayed the ceiling and walked away. I went back after 15 minutes and it was gone. It does have a strong smell, so it’s a good idea to open the window to air it out. But I can deal with the strong smell because it works. And no scrubbing!! Will definitely buy again. I’m going to use it on the outside of the window ledges next." —2bgrl

9. 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: "So let me start by saying I don't typically write reviews. Something has to be reeeaallly amazing or horrendously bad for me to write a review on it. That said, I've tried everything imaginable to get the coffee stains out of our 'stainless'-steel coffee pot. Nothing has ever worked, and after 5ish years of using this specific coffee pot, it looked particularly atrocious. I found these on a random BuzzFeed article and figured eh, why not. For 8 bucks, even if it doesn't work I'm not losing much. I ran plain water through my coffee maker, dropped in two tablets, and let it sit for two hours. I dumped it out expecting to have to scrub a little or even run it through another time, but nope. It took out EVERY. SINGLE. STAIN. Like it was nothing. It looks like a brand-new coffee pot, and now I'm annoyed that I've spent so much time and effort trying to get this stupid pot clean. It also leaves no smell behind whatsoever, so nothing to make your coffee taste weird. If you're on the fence, trust me, this will be your new best friend." —Kindle Customer

Promising review: "Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never look in there but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn't even see the bottom. I really didn't want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn't expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank, left it overnight, and the next morning I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see in there now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!" —Linda Baker

14. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising review: "I will always buy Affresh from now on because I have tried ALL the rest of the 'big name brands' and they were always lacking in getting our two dishwashers clean. This cut through the gunk and cleaned the whole washer when I ran it on heavy load. It surprised me because the other brands always left one type of residue after they were done. Affresh cleaned our entire dishwasher of everything including built-up detergent residue. I have a separate home licensed bakery addition on our home. Never can get the bakery dishwasher totally clean of grease gunk until now. Affresh cut through and flushed out the flour, vegetable oil, butter, frosting and detergent residue in our three month new dishwasher. To not have to get down on my knees to scrub, it really helps me out." —SweetMomNY
