1. Use a pair of petite brushes to clean away grime from tough-to-reach nooks and crannies. Reviewers say they're perfect for cleaning everything from dingy coffee mugs to freezer shelving (and they even work on fancy jewellery).
2. Quickly disinfect your surfaces with a pack of Clorox cleaning wipes. They're gentle enough for everything (including your tech and gadgets) and it doesn't hurt that they come in a handy travel pack, so you can take 'em on the road if you need to.
3. Whisk away glues and residues with a pack of Goo Gone wipes. They're safe for all surfaces (including carpets, painted surfaces, and sealed stone), so grime won't have anywhere to hide.
4. Give your microwave a good steam cleaning by heating up a bowl full of water for five minutes. Let it sit (door closed!) for another five, before wiping away all the icky muck with either a paper towel or a good ol' fashioned sponge.
5. Scrape away pet hair and dander with a de-shedding comb. The steel bristles are strong enough for double-coated doggos (and reviewers say it removes more fur than any other tool they've tried).
6. Stop freshly-swept hair and debris from floating around your home with an upright broom and dustpan set. It's got teensy teeth on the dustpan rim that'll clean off your broom in a single swipe, so it won't spread a mess back around your house.
7. Restore your fave goods and furniture to like-new condition with a bottle of Leather Honey cleaner. Don't be fooled by the petite bottle — it's ultra concentrated (one bottle can make up to 32 ounces of cleaner!) and it works on faux leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber.
8. Give your porcelain throne the royal treatment with a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet stamp that'll even help you cut down on chore time. It couldn't be any easier to use — just stamp it into your toilet bowl and get on with your business.
9. Get rid of algae and other gross buildup with an extra-strong bottle brush that'll help you scrub all those pesky corners. Unlike other brushes with wire tips, this one's covered in spongy foam that won't scratch up your drinkware.
10. Ditch the baking soda (and smelly fridge odours) with a compact fridge deodorizer. It'll even help reduce humidity, so your produce won't get soggy two seconds after you get it home.
11. Save yourself from drain-snaking duty with a pair of nearly-invisible drain strainers that'll trap clogs in their magical whiskers. Their universal design allows them to work with almost any style of drain, so you won't have to swap them out if you move or do some renos.
12. Already got clogs? Tackle them quickly with a flexible drain snake. The tip is covered in hundreds of micro hooks that'll snag every last speck of debris lurking in your pipes.
13. Or, opt for 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).
14. Wrap your ride in a metaphorical suit of armour with a bottle of protective spray. It'll add a high-shine finish to vinyl, rubber, plastic, and leather, while keeping it safe from all kinds of damage (like high temperatures, slush, plus regular wear 'n' tear).
15. Descale your shower head by submerging it in a bag of vinegar. It'll help dissolve limescale and hard water deposits, while getting into all the nozzles and nooks your scrubbing tools just can't get to.
16. Make your bling look sparkly and new again with a jewellery-cleaning pen. The formula is non-abrasive, which means it won't leave your jewels looking cloudy or murky.
17. Scrub away all kinds of messes with a pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (seriously — 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.
18. Or take a gentler approach with a pack of cheerful sponges that won't leave things scratched and dingy. They'll stay firm in cold water, but will soften in warmer temps and they're even colour-coded, so you can keep your kitchen scrubber separate from your bathroom one.
19. Keep your keyboard free of crumbs (I was snacking at the computer again, SUE ME) with a compressed gas duster. This is a dream for all tight spots (like inside computer mice and between ceiling fan components) and even comes with a little nozzle to direct the gas right where it needs to go.
20. Skip the gymnastics with an extendable tile scrubber that'll help you *actually* reach all the dirty spots. The scouring pad is tough on grime and perfectly angled to tuck into awkward corners (while still being gentle on all your fixtures).
21. Tackle tiny stains in a flash with a stick of Tide To-Go. The chiseled marker-like tip makes application precise and simple (and one pen can last you several years).
22. Revive (and de-gunk) your smelly old washing machine with a packet of washer-cleaning tablets. They'll dissolve slowly during the cleaning cycle to melt away even the most stubborn residue.
23. Polish away everything from scuffs to stains with a bottle of Bar Keepers Friend. It's gentle enough for your fancy dishware and high-polish fixtures (but goes real hard on annoying spots left behind by rust and mould).
24. Snag every last dust bunny lurking around your home with a pair of dusting gloves. Best of all, they work on all surfaces — just wipe your hands over the dirty area, et voilà!
25. And hunt down all the ones hiding on top of your cabinets and light fixtures with an extra-long Swiffer duster. The handle extends up to six feet, so you won't have to perch precariously on top of your furniture.
26. Descale your kettle with a drop-in kettle descaler. 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!).
27. Restore grout and sealant to their former glory with a stain remover. The thick gel will stick to surfaces and stay locked in place 'til it's done doing the Lord's work (aka saving you tons of scrubbing).
28. Give your cooktop a total facelift with a stove cleaning kit. Apply the cream to your stove, give it a few minutes to work its magic, then scrub it off with the built-in sponge tool — presto clean-o!
29. And deep-clean your grimy oven with a homemade paste of dish soap, baking soda, and water. It'll lift away baked-on food spills and charred bits (the dish soap will help remove any stubborn greasy spots, too).
30. The same combo will work 🌟actual miracles🌟 on stains all over your house. Hard-to-clean items (like area rugs) are easy to spot-treat with a few dabs of your dish soap/baking soda paste (and you won't have to stress about damaging any fabrics in the process).
31. Need to clean a larger mess? Get yourself a portable carpet cleaner instead. Reviewers say it eliminates stains AND stinks in literal seconds and the interchangeable heads will make cleaning tricky spots (like stair edges, curtains, and upholstery) a total cinch.
32. Banish unpleasant smells with a jar of odour-eliminating beads. Unlike traditional air fresheners, it'll actually neutralize bad smells instead of just masking them.
33. And refresh smelly pipes with a pack of drain-deodorizing sticks (they can even help keep things clog-free). They're safe for all plumbing systems, not to mention *super* simple to use — popping one in the drain once a month will keep things fresh and clean for weeks.
34. Keep your fridge spotless for longer with a pack of reusable fridge liners that'll suck up gross, sticky spills. The cushiony foam will stop things from sliding around while absorbing any extra moisture.
35. Scrape melted food off your cookware with a pair of pan scrapers 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.
36. Buff greasy fingerprints and food splatters off your appliances with a stainless steel cleaner polish. The formula easily dissolves muck and leaves behind a protective film that'll stop new messes from forming.
37. Scrape up all household messes with a dual-purpose broom. The soft rubber bristles grip will grip debris like nobody's business, while the squeegee end will tackle all your wet and slippery spills.
38. Save yourself from rearranging heavy appliances during chore time with an extra-long microfibre duster. The extra-long, fluffy strands will snatch every bit of dust and debris, no matter where they're hiding.
39. Use a multipurpose spray foam cleaner to clean mineral deposits and greasy smudges. The dense foam can cling to just about any surface, so it'll stay put where you need it to (instead of dribbling down your surfaces).
40. Skip the trip to your dry cleaner (and the bill) with a pack of dry cleaning sheets. They can clean all kinds fabrics, including those "special care" items you've been hiding at the back of your closet.
41. Help your fancy footwear live up to its full potential with a shoe-cleaning kit. The ultra-concentrated wash is a lean, green, cleaning machine, able to lift away all kinds of muck without ever damaging your footwear.
42. And finally, brighten up dirty and stained clothes with a bottle of bleach alternative that won't ruin your fave sweater. And it's designed to be kind to all fabrics, which means you can use it to coax spots out of your furniture, too.
