1. Fizzing tablets that will clean coffee and tea stains with minimal effort, because scrubbing isn't required. Use these to get your travel mugs and kettles looking brand-new again. Just add these to water, let it fizz, and rinse!
Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

2. A drip dry cleaner so you can clean your chandelier without the time-consuming task of taking each crystal out and cleaning them one by one. Just spray and let the dirt and grime practically slide off. Bonus: it can also be used on porcelain figures and artificial plants.
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the chandelier...gross. I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I’ve attached a before and after one application photos (seen above)." —kmw

3. A TubShroom that'll catch all the hair in your drain so you don't have to use complicated tools like a drain snake. This does all the work for you!
One of my BuzzFeed coworkers wrote all about the ~hairy~ situations solved by this lil' shroom!
Promising review: "Can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed having been using around a month. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" —Aaron Morlock
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and a two-pack).
4. A weekly shower spray that doesn't require any elbow grease. All you have to do is spray, go to bed, and wash it off in the morning. This cleaner is bleach-free and prevents soap scum buildup when used regularly.
5. A microwave cleaner for stuck on messes. It releases steam to loosen splattered food so that it's easier to wipe away. You can even fill it up with a combo of vinegar and water to disinfect your microwave.
6. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner because you can just sit back and watch it do all the work. It will remove odor and buildup and leaves behind a fresh lemon scent.
Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton
Get a four-pack bag from Amazon for $3.78+ (also available in a box).
7. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets so you don't have to rewash anything. These tablets get rid of mineral buildup and odor and are septic safe. And, don't worry, you won't have to get on your hands and knees to scrub your machine — just pop one tablet in and run a normal wash cycle.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation." —cheapchicshopper
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $15.28.
8. A robotic vacuum with over 44,000 5-star ratings, because it's like having a maid to do one of your most dreaded tasks. And you can control it from the comfort of your couch with a remote! Sit back and let this robot do all the dirty work.
Promising review: "I've been in the market for a robovac for quite some time, and, after a recent back surgery, vacuuming manually wasn't easy. I purchased this vacuum and have been very pleased with it. Its slim design gets under the dressers, beds, other furniture, and all the tight spaces that I couldn't get to with an upright vacuum cleaner. This makes a very low sound while in use, and honestly, I don't even realize it's operating, as the sound is pleasant (not loud at all)." —Tchgt
Get it from Amazon for $139.79+ (available in two colors).
9. Or a robotic mop so you don't have to carry a heavy bucket all around your home. And you never have to worry about a dirty mop again! Go ahead and catch up on your fave show while this vac catches up on some much needed cleaning.
Promising review: "I was a little price leery on this but I've just been struggling to mop as much as I need to. I have three cats and I already have a regular vacuum robot that is amazing, but the idea of a mopping robot seemed different, like it wouldn't be helpful. Then after falling behind on cleaning we finally decided to splurge and buy one and omg — it's amazing. I should have given in a long time ago. My floors are so much cleaner and I have the reusable pads and when I clean them I see just how much dirt this little mop robot is helping me clean." —Christina H.
Get it from Amazon for $397.77.
10. A bag of fizzy toilet cleaners that work like bath bombs for your toilet. You won't have to scrub to get your bowl clean. Just pop one of these in and let the fizzy action get rid of odor and buildup then simply flush all that gross stuff away! Bonus: you can also use this to freshen up your garbage disposal.

11. Or Clorox tabs you can pop directly in your toilet to disinfect it without having to scrub. They work in just five minutes and all you have to do is flush away all the germs. And it turns your water blue, which is super cool.
Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.90.
12. Bissell Stomp N' Go stain lifting pads so you can literally stomp messes away. Just place one of these pads over a stain, press down with your foot, and the stain will be gone! No need to whip out over-the-top cleaning equipment.
The cleaning formula is released when you stomp, so there's no added spray involved! Everything you need is on the pad already.
Promising review: "I never ever write reviews for anything, but I just had to write one for these. We have two dogs and one of them will get sick or have an accident in the house a few times a month. I've used all kinds of carpet cleaner as well as the SpotBot, but they never seemed to really get the stains out. I bought these on a whim because I was desperate to find something that might work and guess what? THEY WORKED! No joke, every stain I have put these on has come out of the carpet. I have told everyone I know about these and have heard great things from them as well. If you are on the fence, just give them a try!" —Angela Mimm
Get 20 pads from Amazon for $27.49.
13. A pair of microfiber slippers to clean your floors while you walk to the kitchen for a snack. They pick up dust and hair so you can go longer in between cleanings.
Promising review: "So why do I like mopping slippers? I have a 2-year-old and they're great for mopping up little splashes. Drops of water from doing dishes and the extra padding is nice. No paper towels wasted and it's immediate. Plus these are cute. You have to have a sense of whimsy for this functional novelty item." —G. Kim
Get it from Amazon for $13.59+ (available in 17 styles and four sizes).

Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis
Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $7.63 (also available in packs of three and five).
15. A set of washable oven liners that will catch any drippings from your casserole that bubble over. These prevent your from having to scrub your oven after spills and they're easy to clean — just pop them in the dishwasher.
Promising review: "I ordered these on a whim, after cleaning my self-cleaning oven and seeing how some things just won't come off the interior enamel. They fit perfectly, have no discernible odor, and wash easily. I recently had the ultimate test....baked beans that boiled over. After the oven cooled, I pulled the liner out, stuck it in the sink, and all of the dried stuff came off without scrubbing!" —Vicky
Get a pack of three from Amazon for $11.99.
16. And a pack of stove burner covers because they catch all the messy splatters that happen while you're whipping up dinner. Who wants to clean up after cooking? Not me. You can just throw these out and replace them when they're dirty.
Promising review: "One day I will be the happy owner of a flat surface oven/stove top! But until then, these are the best at keeping your stovetop free from food and grease spills and caked-on messes. They're cheap, so clean up is a breeze. When it's dirty, just remove it, throw it away, and replace it with a new one. It makes cleaning the stove top so easy!" —Melanin Monroe
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in a 100-pack and a version for electric burners).
17. A set of K-Cup cleaning pods so your Keurig can perform at its best. All that buildup can't be great for your machine. You just use these the same way you'd brew a cup of coffee. And if you need more convincing, just look at the water before using the cleaning pod!
Promising reviews: (for the pic on the left) "Ran it through three times. It truly works!" —Shawna20
"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 (also available in a 12- and 18-pack).
18. A grout paint pen to tackle years of residue caught between your tiles (I know gross). You won't have to deal with dirty and discolored grout any longer. All you have to do is use this like a marker to whiten it fast.
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! After over 10 years of the grout not being cleaned, and a botched repair job, the bathroom floor in this house looked horrendous. Two pens covered the entire bathroom floor, with plenty left over in the second pen, even with applying two to three layers (which you will definitely need as the paint is a bit thin and also absorbs into the grout). Super easy to apply, works exactly like a regular paint marker. Be sure to press the pen tip on a separate (thick) cloth to activate it before actually using on the grout so you don't end up with a huge mess on the tile when the paint floods out at first. If you see the first side of the tip is getting frayed, just pull it out and turn it around to the other side." —regalle
Get a white pen from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip sizes and in other colors).
19. A bendable and extendable dust brush so you don't have to move your furniture to clean under it. Now you can get a deep clean under your bed and couch without bending or lifting a thing.
20. A power scrubber because it's basically like an electric toothbrush for your tiles (or other small crevices). It'll get in every nook and cranny and it's two times faster than a manual scrubber. What I'm saying is, you'll get your most dreaded task done faster!
Promising review: "What a difference five minutes with this and Bar Keepers Friend can make! I was getting ready to refinish a dresser and the thought of having to scrub and polish all of the hardware had me thinking I should replace rather than reuse. I decided that I would use a toothbrush to attempt to keep the original hardware but saw this option and gave it a try. It was magic! Honestly, less than five minutes of scrubbing revealed the beauty of the hardware and while I need to do a little more work with the grout head (which I immediately ordered), the results were great. Since then, I have used it to clean those icky places on pots and pans by the handle, on small appliances, and more. I had to stop myself from roaming around the house looking for places to try it on! It's worth the money. I think I am going to get rechargeable batteries for it (but truly, I have used for over a month and the batteries are still fine)." —cphilburn
Get it from Amazon for $24.93.
21. A Sun Joe pressure washer that's giving me total Ghost Buster vibes because it'll blast away ~scary~ messes that you thought were impossible to get rid of. Now, you can get your deck ready for warmer weather without much of an effort. You won't have to scrub until your arms hurt, because this does all the work for you — just aim and spray!
Promising review: "Great product at a good price. Used this power washer to wash my stucco house for pre painting. Unit worked as advertised. Fairly quiet, but yet powerful sprayer. Great customer service and would highly recommend this product to anyone." —Boy Wonder CTS
Get it from Amazon for $166.90.
22. A ceiling fan vacuum attachment so you can clean your blades without climbing and stretching. Just attach this to your vacuum hose and it'll suck up dust with just a few swipes.

Get it from 3rst 3D Print on Etsy for $18.99+ (available in 16 colors).
23. A scrub-free instant stain remover spray to get rid of stubborn mold, mildew, and stains fast. It works great on outdoor patio furniture that you totally neglected all winter, so you can get everything ready for spring and summer. It also works on wood, vinyl, siding, dry wall, concrete and more.
Promising review: "This was amazing. All I had to do was spray and wipe and the mold was gone. I used it in a house that had been sitting for six months and it was awful. I thought I would have to put elbow grease into it but NO not at all. I used it for the walls and ceilings. It left no streaks. Even for as bad as the mold was, I only had to clean it once. It has only been about a month now and the mold has not come back but even if it does it was soo easy to clean with this. Spring cleaning the walls is an annual chore, but I won’t cringe at the thought of having to figure out how to defeat it!! My only recommendation is to wear a really good mask as it is very strong stuff and I used it very generously. By the end of the room my lungs were seriously wishing I had worn a mask or opened a window or both." —Becky
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in five sizes).
24. An all-natural oven scrub made with powdered pumice stone so you can scrub away years of spills and splatters wayyy faster.
Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in cleaning products.
Promising review: "Finally tackled the rings on our stove top with this scrub and a reusable paper towel (as I was worried about using a scourer on an easily scratched surface) and the rings came right off! These are those 'oh, crap, the pot boiled over' rings that I ignored that lead to my stove top looking a bit crusty. The oven scrub ate them right off and left my oven and stove top looking great." —Jessie Bono
Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).
25. A rust stain-removing powder if you need to get rid of rust stains ASAP without much effort. All you have to do is apply it for a few minutes and the rust will dissolve before your eyes. Then just wipe it away!
Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —T-urtle
Get it from Amazon for $16.42.
26. An all-natural carpet powder so you can quickly and easily deodorize and refresh your carpet. All you have to do is sprinkle this on your carpet, let it sit for about 30-60 minutes and vacuum. And, this can also be used on pet beds, mattresses, car seats, and shoes.

Promising reviews: "The smell is wonderful and it really helps with having two cats in the house. Seems to actually make the carpets cleaner, too! Thanks very much." —Uptick
"I love this scent and this deodorizer. I use it on my couch and my carpet, and I rave about it to my friends when they come in and smell my home. I will be buying again. This actually lasts me about six months because I use it everywhere, but a little goes a long way." —Shantia
Get it from Heart J Creations on Etsy for $34.99 (available in various scents).
27. An extendable baseboard cleaner set with a flexible head that conforms to any baseboard or molding so it can clean every corner and crevice. It can extend up to 49 inches, so you won't have to stretch, bend, or climb to clean hard-to-reach areas.
This set includes four cleaning clothes and an adjustable cleaning tool.

Get it from Amazon for $29.99.
28. An odor- and stain-eliminating spray, because if your dog is anything like mine, they probably had wayyy more accidents indoors to avoid the freezing temps during the winter. This will make every pet owner's life easier (and cleaner). This spray contains natural enzymes that are activated on contact with odors and stains. It basically feeds on ammonia crystals and organic matter to eliminate urine, feces, vomit, and more. It sounds gross, but it's practically magic.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "I love EVERYTHING about this. Like every other reviewer, we've tried every other option we could find to get rid of urine stench and stains. Ours were from an elderly dog who couldn't make it through the night sometimes. Long story short, we have YEARS of urine stains that, after being 'cleaned,' continued to reappear. Now every single recurring stain on our carpet is GONE! Not a single one has returned. I don't have sufficient words for how truly thankful we are for this product. It's like NOTHING else. And the cherry on top is the wonderful scent when you first apply it and NO scent once it's done its job. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for these amazing products." —Anita McCarty
