"The smaller stiff-bristled brushes are the bomb for deep cleaning those surfaces that have so much gunk caked onto them, you might think they're impossible to clean. And the rounded brush (with a hit of Scrubbing Bubbles) will give your toilet the mega scrub it needs. I like using the extension bar with this brush, to keep my face as far away as possible from those not-so-nice areas." —Brittany Barber

What's not to love about this gizmo? It extends my reach and the frilly fibres grip every last speck of debris, which means I don't have to vacuum afterwards. I love that the head is adjustable, too, so I don't have to strain my arms to get the perfect dust-busting angle. The starter kit comes with the extendable arm, plus four duster heads (don't forget to grab a few more for later) so you can get cleaning right away.

"I own this stuff and it works actually magic on stuck-on food and oil splatters. I've seriously never seen my burners look cleaner than they do after using this stuff, and I'm so happy it doesn't cost a fortune (but I'd buy it even if it did)." —Alice Prendergast

"I live with two small children and, as a result, I'm constantly cleaning up after them. These magic erasers are a true blessing. Instead of scrubbing away stains with a bucket and cloth like Cinderella, I can quickly and effectively remove whatever mysterious marks and stains I find on tables, walls, and other surfaces in seconds. Like this beautiful crayon mural, for instance. It took less than a minute to clean up, and all it took was a little water and elbow grease." —Kaysey Davis

If you don't own this already, you need to. Seriously. I love candles and I always squirrel away the votives for my plants but damn, does cleaning them suck. What would have taken me several hours, many kettles of boiling water, and round after round of scouring took me a mere five minutes with Goo Gone. I've also used it to remove residue from stickers, spilled candle wax, and a million and one other things. No other product I've ever tried has come close to how effective this one is. One note: the formula's oil-based, so make sure to spot test before doing the hard commit!

You might be asking yourself, "Why couldn't I just use my toothbrush to scrub grout and sink drains?" And the answer is, a regular toothbrush just can't compete with the kind of heavy-duty scrubbing power these brushes deliver. They've got grippy handles, plus special silicone pads on the heads to make it easy and comfortable to apply extra pressure while you're cleaning. And the silicone wiper blade is honestly genius. Its ultra-fine tip is great for cleaning *right* around your faucets and other fixtures, without having to worry about scratching up their fancy finishes.

"I have a dog that sheds, and about a billion blankets that also shed. While those things are great for me, they are not great for my couch. I bought this lil' doodad to help me de-fluff and remove all the annoying pills from my sofa, and boy does it ever work. It has a razor head on one end (along with three interchangeable razors of varying intensities) that I use to scrape away pills, and a classic velvety lint brush on the other. It's worked serious wonders on my furniture and I've even moved on to brushing down my crewneck collection with it." —Alice Prendergast

"This baby will save you from getting down on your hands and knees to scrub down your toilet bowl, because it does the work with every flush. Using it is simple: load the gel cartridge into the stamper and click the button to apply the gel sticker to your toilet bowl. It's actually really satisfying to use and I'm happy to report it works, too! It keeps my toilet smelling fresh and saves me from having to scrub away gross build-up on the bowl, meaning I have one less chore to do every week. This is the definition of working smarter, not harder, people!" —Alice Prendergast

After getting a brand-spankin' new set of dishes, I immediately scuffed them (don't ask me how. Apparently I am "a little intense" with a fork and knife🙄). After washing and re-washing with about a hundred and one foam cleaner, I decided it was time to change tack. Enter: Bar Keepers Friend. It took me less than five minutes to get the marks out and didn't leave my dishes looking murky or grey in the process. As an added bonus, it doesn't smell like chemicals or make my skin peel, either.

"An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom, and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed colour (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will." —Emma Lord
