1. 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. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!
Promising reviews: "I have never seen my sink so clean! It removed the limescale with a regular wash cloth and a little scrubbing." —Cndrla
"I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
2. A bleach-free cleaning and polishing powder so you can finally say goodbye to rust, tarnish, stains, and mineral deposits on your stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, and more!
Promising review: "I bought this after seeing numerous recommendations. After years of searing and occasionally burning things in my stainless pans, it was time to try to bring them to a better state. Not only did this easily scrub off the latest culinary leavings, it scrubbed off the years of buildup of oil, fat, cooking spray and whatever else that have been continually baked on in the oven, stove, and dishwasher. A little powder, a dash of water, a quick, light scrub, and...it's gone? How is that possible? What's in this stuff? I do not know, I do not care. After scrubbing my enamel stovetop in a fraction of the time with no scratches and better results, I became thoroughly convinced the contents of BKF is not of this realm. It's magic." —Bulb
Get it from Amazon for $6.92.
3. A five-piece window track cleaning kit that'll help you clear the dirt and dust in all those hard-to-reach areas you've been wanting to clean properly for forever.
This kit comes with a tile lines brush, a handle groove gap brush, a dustpan clean brush, a window blind brush, and a window track cleaning brush.
Promising review: “LOVE these cleaning tools. Now I’m not a neat freak, but when I clean, I CLEAN. I like to get in all the nooks and crannies, and these tools made my life so much easier. The skinny green one was great for that skinny area behind my bathroom faucet that I could ever seem to reach! And the thicker white one was fantastic for my shower door track because of the angled bristles it has. It got all the gook that I normally can’t get. I can’t wait to use them on my windows. Would totally buy again.” —Joell Almighty
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
4. A jet tub cleaner scientifically engineered to get all the yuck from soap and body oil build-up out of your tub in 15 minutes! Haven't cleaned your tub in a minute? You might just be surprised what this cleaner unearths!
Promising review: "I'll admit, I was skeptical when I bought Oh Yuk because I had been cleaning my tub using bleach and dishwasher powdered detergent for the last couple years and nothing major had ever shot out of the jets. I assumed it was just a very clean tub. I was dead wrong. I followed the instructions and used the recommended four ounces of cleaner (the side of the bottle has measuring marks which was very helpful). The minute I got the jets really going I noticed there was some crud floating up to the surface and mixing with the bubbles. It just. Kept. Coming. It looked like a Swamp Thing had taken a bubble bath and left it running. I kept standing there marveling at what was coming out of my 'clean' bathtub. I am going to keep using this for as long as they keep making it. It legitimately works." —Dee

5. Miracle-Gro indoor plant food spikes if your plants aren't growing as fast as they should. Just stick one of these in your planters and your leafy babes will be continuously fed for up to two months!
Promising review: "I didn’t think I’d write a review about plant food, but these are amazing! I used to just look at plants and they would shrivel and die, but these have made every single one of my plants flourish beautifully! Even succulents in our temperamental Washington weather are thriving. We have them in both our indoor plants as well as our veggies outside." —H Husom
Get 24 spikes from Amazon for $2.79.
6. A pumice cleaning stone for scrubbing away toilet rings, limescale, and rust buildup from your porcelain throne (and other porcelain and ceramic surfaces).
Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old 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 $11.99.
7. And a jar of eucalyptus toilet-cleaning bombs because your toilet is in need of a good natural, chemical-free cleaner. These are great for more regular maintenance!
Happy Earth Boutique is a woman-owned small business making natural alternatives for your health and home.
Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" —kd Bromley
Get it from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $12.99+ (available with or without a glass jar).
8. A pack of Swedish dishcloths made of cellulose and cotton so absorbent, they'll help cut down on drying time so you can go do something you actually enjoy.
Promising reviews: “I wasn’t really sure what to expect, and when I took them out of the package I was thinking there's no way these stiff little squares will be good for cleaning. Well, I was wrong because they are awesome! First up was my fridge and stove with stainless steel cleaner. Normally, I’d have to use multiple paper towels or a rag that would get wet and dirty and gross in no time and it would take forever, but one of these cloths did the job in like half the time. So then I had to see how one would work on windows. Again, one cloth held up to multiple windows and mirrors, and with no streaks!” —Amazon Customer
"It's soft, strong, absorbent, and lasts three times longer than any standard sponge. When you're done doing dishes with it, give it a squeeze and wipe down the sink and counter to soak up all the water. I am not easily impressed by products, but this is a game-changer." —MP
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $17.99 (available in five colors).
9. Some weatherproof, battery-operated motion sensing night lights that'll guarantee that wherever you are — indoors or outdoors — you never have to traipse around in the dark.
These little lights are AA battery-operated (not included, but you can grab some here) and can be stuck anywhere using the included double-sided tape!
Promising review: "We have a short set of steps from the house into the attached garage that have always been dark and a little hard to see clearly in certain situations. These lights have been a perfect solution. They activate quite well and at a good distance, and put out a really nice amount of light. They also seem well made. I mounted one with the adhesive strip, and one with the screws (both included) and they are equally secure. They couldn't be easier to install and use right away. My whole family appreciates them." —Driveforce
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
10. A long and flexible microfiber duster to reach the dark untouched depths under your appliances and couches. Your pet's toys roll under your fridge? You can get to them in seconds!
Promising review: “The Oxo flat sweeper is perfect for any tight, narrow space. It makes quick work of dust buildup under refrigerators, washers, and dryers. It also works well for tops and sides of appliances that are close to walls.” —my review 4 U
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
11. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these nontoxic cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.
Promising reviews: "I use these every six weeks or so to keep my machine from getting gnarly and disgusting. They do exactly what they promise and are super easy to use. Staple in my household since trying them for the first time." —Azure Look
“I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!” —Corey West
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
12. Two packs of streak-free stainless steel wipes for removing residue, water marks, and grease while leaving behind a protective barrier to prevent smudges. Because "stainless-steel" appliances are called "stainless" for a reason.
Promising review: "I swear by Weiman Stainless Steel Cleaner Wipes and will never ever be without them! Before I knew there was such a kitchen helper, I would shine and polish my refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher, and it would take me forever. But now, with one swipe and a dry towel, everything gets polished in record time. These magic little wipes make keeping my appliances shiny a breeze! Bonus: They actually work great on the glass of the microwave, too!" —INAMOODFORAMELODY
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.96.
13. A grout and sealant stain remover because your tiles deserve to gleam against a clean background. Just apply it, wait, and rinse the stains away. You read that right, there's no scrubbing needed!
Promising reviews: "I have tried a lot of products that promised to fix mold issues and this is the only one that actually worked excellently." —Bruce B.
“The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub. The cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I was scrolling through Facebook as you do and came across one of those BuzzFeed lists. I am a sucker for those lists. But this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it. Like, today.” —KarynB
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
14. A bug bite suction tool from Shark Tank if you're excited about tank tops and short shorts but not the fact that you'll be exposed to some nasty bloodsuckers. It pretty much sucks the irritant out from under your skin so you can live an itch-free life.
Promising reviews: "This little gadget is a miracle worker for bug bites! I used this little 'sucker' and it totally did what it promised! No need for creams and ointments for me!" —Mrs D
"I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times, so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived Monday and Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions). Immediately after use, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bite = gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but that is a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two colors).
15. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. Because if a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
We've got you covered with more recommendations for cleaning products with professional results.
16. A garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
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 four-pack from Amazon for $7.99.
17. A pack of Bottle Bright cleaning tablets to take care of the tough stains and persistent odors living 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: "My tea mug was horrible: 'stainless' steel that was totally brown from tea. It's now shiny and silver again. I used it on my coffee mug and my gym water bottle as well, and they're all like new! Highly recommend and works super fast. No scent during or after use." —afK2
Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $8.

18. A watermark 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.
Promising review: “I had old water and heat damage on my antique table. I had thought there was no way I would ever get rid of them, but now I know better!” —Roberta Kentspeth
Get it from Amazon for $9.84.
19. An eco-friendly oven scrub cleaner for tackling all the caked-on messes you've learned to ignore. Made with natural ingredients (including pumice stone and baking soda), you'll get your oven back without all the toxic fumes.
Everneat is a family-owned small business based in Connecticut creating 100% natural cleaning products, because you don't need harsh and toxic chemicals to get a great clean.
Promising review: "I am in absolute shock about how well this works. WOW! My oven door window had grime caked on it for years that I couldn't get off from the previous owners, so I'm estimating its been like that for four+ years. Nothing helped to cut through it and finally this oven cleaner made it look brand new. Still in shock!! Would highly recommend. Also, the smell of the product is sooo delightful!" —Vanessa
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents and in a glass jar).
20. A wind- and moisture-proof rechargeable electric lighter because reaching for your matchbox only to find it completely empty is an avoidable catastrophe. Easily light your candles (or joints) with this!
Promising review: "I barely have to charge this. It is super cute and useful and I love the double safety feature. Never going back to a traditional lighter again!" —Rocky
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors).

21. A pet hair remover so you'll be able to reclaim your couch from the mob of fur that's been calling it home in a few quick swipes. And because it doesn't use disposable adhesive strips, you can use this thing over and over and over and over and...
Promising review: "We rescued a little couch dog from the pound. I was weary of her little furrrrrs getting all over our previously pristine couches and knew that I'd need some sort of solution. I was willing to buy the lint rollers with sheets you rip off but was hoping for a better and less wasteful option. This thing works GREAT. I was so doubtful of it being the miracle product that so many of the reviews claim it to be. But it really is! A family member came by today and I swiped this baby over my couch a few times, emptied it into the trash, and you can't even tell a dog has been sleeping there. Highly recommend investing in this!" —JT
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
22. An enzyme-based laundry stain remover that'll remove new (or old) dirt, blood, oil, and cosmetics stains from your clothes, carpets, and more! A bit of a klutz? Then you'll wanna add this hypoallergenic spray to your toolkit.
Promising review: "Look no further than here for a stain remover that ACTUALLY works! I used this on baby blowout stains that I tried to wash out already and it WORKED!!! There has yet to be a stain that this stuff couldn't knock out, a godsend for moms. I spray it right onto diaper explosions without any prep work, toss the clothes in the washer with a start time delay (gives it time to soak into the fabric) and it comes out perfect! I trust this stuff so much I don't even check it before putting it in the dryer anymore! Get this and never worry about stains again!" —Taralyn R.
Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in three sizes).
23. A pack of nontoxic houseplant sticky traps to help you get rid of those annoying gnats calling your monstera and fiddle-leaf figs home. Just stick a stake in the soil, and let the traps do what they do (trap).
Promising review: "Wow! These things work! I never write reviews, but I am blown away. We’ve tried everything to get rid of those pesky gnats that come with having house plants: home vinegar solutions, Neem oil, etc. Nothing seemed to work. We were constantly swatting gnats. I almost got rid of our house plants in frustration. I’m glad I found these traps. We placed them in several of our plants around the house and just a few days later started seeing them work. Within a week, the traps filled up. As others have said, it’s gross, but satisfying. No more swatting gnats!" —Diane
Get a pack of seven traps from Amazon for $6.93.
24. A handy duster if your window blinds get caked in layers of dust super quickly. Just spray a little cleaner, and dust will be a thing of the past! You can even use it on your air-conditioner's blinds.
This duster comes with five washable microfiber sleeves.
Promising review: We built in a new community and the construction dust is a constant battle. I've been using the Swiffer Duster on my blinds, but it just didn't seem to do that great of a job. You would not believe the dust and dirt this got off my blinds! It takes a little longer to do the blinds, but they are much cleaner. I also like that I'm not adding to the landfill when I use this product. —Chris K
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two colors).
25. A cute, apple-shaped produce saver for keeping your veggies alive for more than five seconds after you put them in the fridge. If your asparagus tends to die before you ever get a chance to try that casserole recipe you've been eyeing, this is for you.
Promising review: "These REALLY work! We have to move them away from our fresh fruit so it would ripen! My produce is lasting at least three times as long without spoilage. This is a great product, and I have already bought many as gifts. They don't seem to work on tomatoes, but they are great with bananas, apples, kiwi, pears, grapes, plums, peaches, lettuces, mushrooms, and many more fruits and vegetables." —Jacki
Get a pack of two (plus eight replacement packets) from Amazon for $21.99.
26. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!
Promising reviews: "I seldom write product reviews but I will in this case. The only reason I'm giving the Folex five 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 $12.85.
27. Or a pack of stain removal pads that'll get rid of those pesky pet stains — all you do is simply set the pad down and step on it. No scrubbing needed! They'll lift away even the most set-in stains!
Promising review: “These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. They are seriously miracle workers, and I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward.” —Lisa Koivu
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $24.90.
28. A pack of touch-up paint pens so you're always ready to address any splotches you find after removing painter's tape from your latest accent wall project. Just fill one of these pens up with your latex paint and brush away!
Based in Maryland, SlobProof is a woman-owned small biz creating a quick, mess-free, and easy way for you to touch up any spots that need a little extra loving.
Promising review: "I love this. They're absolutely perfect for touchin' up the little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints and so far they've stayed 'usable' without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and re-cap it." —Hooked On Amazon!
29. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray to quickly cut through grease and oil without harming your surfaces.
30. A Dawn Powerwash dish spray bundle if your ideal dishwashing experience consists of spraying, waiting, and wiping. This spray can easily cut through grease to clean heavily soiled dishes.
My mom swears by this spray! It can be used to clean more than just your dishes.
This bundle includes one spray bottle and three refills.
Promising review: “I had my doubts as rave reviews are usually over-exaggerations, but not this time. This thing is MAGICAL. Literally cleans everything with a spray. I have hard water at my place, and soap scum buildup is quite bad in my bathtub and shower glass doors. With this Powerwash, I just spray, wait a couple of minutes, wipe, and literally all the soap scrum is completely gone. I am left with spotless shower glass doors AND shiny faucets. I spray this stuff on everything that is hard to clean. Sticky stuff like stickers and labels? Spray, wait, wipe. Poof it's gone. Sticky stuff like food residue on dishes or your oven? Oil on top of or around your stove and/or cabinet? Spray, wait, wipe. Poof it's gone. Soap scrum, yellow tubs, oily tools, spotty hand prints on fridge? Say no more. Spray, wait, wipe. Poof it's gone. Dirty tires, rims? Yup, spray, wait, wipe, poof it's gone! I have successfully used this magical cleaner on all of the above.” —Es
Get it from Amazon for $23.09.
31. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this bleach-free formula, all you have to do is just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I tried the Dawn Dish Soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget Shower Spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!” —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
32. A small hole repair kit so you're always prepared to patch up a wall after a failed attempt to hang a 50-lb gold mirror you found for free on Craigslist.
This kit comes with a tub of primer-enhanced spackling compound, a self-adhesive patch, a putty knife, and a sanding pad.
Promising review: "We wound up with a huge hole in our wall due to the use of skinny drywall at a property we were renting. I was worried about our security deposit, so I purchased this to patch it up. It worked great and completely covered the hole. It dried quickly and it included everything I needed to fix the hole myself. When everything was done, it blended really well." —Amber Norell
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
33. A pack of two deodorant-removing sponges that'll remove those annoying (and seemingly permanent) white streaks on your favorite blouses.
Promising review: "I'm not really sure what else to say about this besides that it works! I change clothes frequently so this product is a godsend. Gets the deodorant stains right out!" —Amazon Customer
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.88.
34. A set of wood-repairing markers and wax sticks if your furniture or floors are prone to annoyingly huge scratches. Just take one of these markers and color over any imperfections!
Promising review: "For $10 you can cover up so many scratches that you couldn't buy a house big enough to run out of ink. I've had this for just four hours, but I fixed a table that was scratched when I moved it, kitchen cabinets, chairs, a wine rack, and some hardwood flooring. It does a good job at covering the scratches to a point where you have to stare at a spot to notice it. Don't expect it to make your furniture to look brand new again. But for $10 you can make your furniture look reasonable! Would highly recommend to anyone who has pets who scratch the !@#$ out of their wood furniture." —Phaedrus
Get six markers, six wax sticks, and a sharpener from Amazon for $9.99.
