    I Think We Can All Agree That Cleaning Sucks, So Here Are 29 Things That'll Make It Easier

    It's honestly so rude that my house keeps getting dirty.

    1. A Scrub Mommy sponge if your current one isn't doing it for you anymore. Like the Scrub Daddy, it gets soft in warm water and stays firm in cold, but this one's also got a soft, spongy side that makes it *ideal* for things that need a gentler touch.

    2. A bottle of Windex Multi-Surface that gets its levelled-up cleaning powers from a secret ingredient: vinegar. That means you'll never have streaks or spots (and makes it an incredibly effective all-purpose cleaner for just about every surface).

    3. A pack of bestselling gel toilet stamps if hand-scrubbing your porcelain throne is *not* your idea of a good time. Just pop it under the rim and with every flush, it'll refresh and clean your situation (and it smells pretty dang great, too).

    4. A pair of nearly-invisible drain strainers that'll trap clogs in their magical whiskers and save you from snaking duty. They have a universal design that'll work with almost any style of drain, which means you won't have to swap them out if you move or do renos.

    5. Or a clog-dissolving drain cleaner that's strong enough to blast away all kinds of blockages, even grease and hair. Reviewers say it's more cost-effective than calling a plumber (with even better results).

    6. A drop-in kettle descaler if yours is starting to look a lil' grimy. Reviewers love how easy it is to use and say it doesn't leave behind any gross aftertaste, either (just make sure you give it a thorough rinse after the cleaning!).

    7. An extra-long scrubbing brush if you're not exactly keen on the micro eco-system growing at the bottom of your bottles. It's squishy enough to squeeze into narrow openings, with a tapered end that'll tuck into all those pesky corners.

    8. A spinning mop and bucket system that'll make cleaning your floors — dare I say it? — actually easy. All the things you hate about mopping are gone, which means no more straining your hands to wring the mop or spilling water all over the floor.

    9. A cult-favourite ChomChom Roller if you're tired of constantly battling against lint and pet hair. Since it doesn't have any sticky strips, you can use and re-use it to your heart's content without forking over extra cash for refills.

    10. A tub of The Pink Stuff that has reviewers all jazzed about it's serious stain-removing powers. Whether it's a dirty oven, or a lovely masterpiece your kiddo drew on the wall, the list of things this stuff *can't* clean is v v short.

    11. An extendable tile scrubber so you can skip the gymnastics while you're reaching for all the dirty spots. The scouring pad is tough on things like hard water deposits and shower slime and is perfectly angled to tuck into awkward corners (without scratching up all your fixtures).

    12. A bottle of Goo Gone so you can remove sticky, waxy, smeary messes with, like, zero effort. It'll remove everything, including glue and gum, so you won't have to try to scrub away icky residue with your fingernails.

    13. A tube of stain remover if your shower's got some stains you just can't get out. The thick gel will stick to all surfaces (even vertical ones) and stay locked in place 'til it's done lifting away mould and mildew blotches.

    14. A packet of dishwasher-cleaning tablets that'll help you revive (and de-gunk) your smelly old machine. They'll slowly dissolve during the cleaning cycle, melting away icky buildup and saving you from having to wash out the whole damn thing by hand.

    15. A pair of pan scrapers so you can scrape melted food off your cookware, instead of reaching for the butter knife (or worse, using your nail). Reviewers say the four-cornered design is pure genius, helping them get into all the nooks and crannies where food particles might be hiding.

    16. A pack of dry cleaning sheets so you can skip the trip to your dry cleaner (and the bill). They can clean all kinds fabrics, including those "special care" items you've been hiding at the back of your closet.

    17. A super sticky reusable roller that'll snatch everything from pet hair to glitter off all your surfaces. Unlike other lint rollers, this one's even effective on leather furniture or wooden surfaces.

    18. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that'll help you scrub away all kinds of messes (not even baked-on egg yolks stand a chance). Unlike regular sponges, they won't shred or disintegrate before you've had a chance to finish.

    19. A pair of scrubbing brushes so you can finally tackle all the grime hiding in the nooks and crannies of your home. They've got firm bristles that'll make short work of sticky dirt (and one even has a silicone wiper blade for cleaning crevices).

    20. A dual-ended broom that'll help you snatch up hard-to-clean everyday messes. The bristle head will grab hair, dust, and pet dander, while the squeegee end will make it easy to scoop up wet and slippery messes.

    21. A rechargeable ionic produce cleaner that'll lift away all the ~stuff~ living on your fruits and veggies. You can even use it to clean your silverware and kitchen utensils of any baked-on food.

    22. A pack of microfibre blinds dusters that reviewers call the biggest time-saver ever. Thanks to its three arms, it'll clean their tops and bottoms simultaneously, saving you from having to take down the whole setup and do each piece by hand (no, thank you).

    23. An extra-long Swiffer duster so you can hunt down all the dust bunnies hiding on top of your cabinets and light fixtures. The handle extends up to six feet, so you won't have to perch precariously on top of your furniture.

    24. A dish squeegee so you can scrape leftover food bits off your dining plates (without actually touching it with your fingers, because that's gross). You'll end up with less crap caught in your sponges, which means they won't get smelly after dish duty.

    25. A grout pen because re-doing your stained tilework is just not in the budget. It'll let you cover up stains, leaving your sitch looking brand spankin' new (even if it's about, like, a hundred).

    26. A double-ended fabric razor that'll de-pill your fave sweater without damaging the fibres. It's completely manual and has a built-in lint brush, so you can keep your fabrics free of fluff and pet hair, too.

    27. An extra-long microfibre duster that'll save you from having to drag out your appliances to properly clean behind them. The extra-long fluffy strands will grip every bit of dust and debris (even the ones in exile under your fridge).

    28. A stick of Tide To-Go you can use to "colour" away tiny stains. Thanks to its chiseled, marker-like tip, using it is super simple (and one pen can last you several years).

    29. And finally, a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend that'll help you polish away everything from scuffs to stains. It's gentle enough to use on your fancy dishware and high-polish fixtures (but goes real hard on annoying spots left behind by rust and mould).
