    If A Dirty Home Makes You Squeamish, You Need To Try These 36 Cleaning Products

    Because you shouldn't have to worry about your gag reflex whenever you attempt to clean your home.

    1. K-Cup cleaning pods when you're ready to face the nauseating buildup brewing inside your coffee maker. You'll be shocked by the results, but at least it'll be gone for good.  

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse
    reviewer image of cleaning K-cup placed inside Keurig

    Brew one large cycle with a cleaner pod and one large cycle with water-only. Toss the remaining liquid and cleaner pod when you're done!

    Promising review: "OK, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.

    2. A water-based Folex carpet cleaner that'll take care of ANY sick messes that occur. Unlike other harsh cleaners, this one is odorless, nonflammable, and contains no solvents.

    the same stairs now stain and salsa free

    Apply a generous amount on the stain, gently agitate, then blot with a clean absorbent cloth.

    Promising review: “Love love love Folex!! Super easy to use. The bottle does exactly what it says. My chairs were SUPER DIRTY from my 2.5-year-old grandson eating and feeding dogs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how clean they got after just one use. Mind blown!!” —Carobnty

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multi-packs).

    3. A garbage disposal cleaner to put an end to all the mysterious gunk that's lurking down there — no elbow-deep dirty work required. And the blue foam is pretty fun to watch, so this may become one of your fave cleaning tasks.

    The bag which comes with 4.9 ounces of lemon-scented cleaner
    A reviewer's video of them using the cleaner with the caption

    Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!) and run the water just a bit. Then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.

    Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $9.61.

    4. A handy Wet & Forget cleaner so your shower stays sparkling clean *and* free of gross mildew. Simply spray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean. No scrubbing or wiping necessary!

    BTW, Each bottle lasts for 12 weeks' worth of treatments.

    Promising review: "I debated getting this and read so many reviews. I bit the bullet and bought it. No regrets! Absolutely love it. Let it sit for hours, and it wiped away with so much ease. I didn’t have to scrub anything. 10/10." —Stephanie Mueller

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98.

    5. A ChomChom pet hair remover for pet parents who love their fur babies but not the shedding issue. Roll it back and forth on the hair-ridden area, then empty the compartment when you're finished!

    Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    Promising review: "I have three indoor cats, two of them seniors and they have really started shedding terribly. I own no less than a dozen different pet hair/lint removal gadgets and not ONE of them even approaches the effectiveness of this product. Normally, I time my pet hair removal sessions to right before I shower because I am dripping sweat after half an hour of grueling work. I just removed every trace of pet hair from my sofa in less than 5 minutes and I didn't even break a sweat. As I stood back and examined my sofa, I did not believe it had actually removed the hair but had probably pushed it around somewhere less visible. I popped the button that opens the hair collection compartment on the roller, and THE HAIR WAS IN THERE. WHAT?!!?! It actually took the hair off of my sofa and put it in the compartment!! Literally, I almost cried. I am considering having guests over into my home again...going out to make some friends right now!" —A.W.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.95 (be sure to clip the $5 off coupon on the product page for this price).

    6. And a pet hair removal broom that'll lift actual GOBS of hair from your carpet no matter how deep it might be buried. Even if you regularly vacuum, this tool is scary good at tackling any stubborn hair embedded in your rug.

    Emma Lord / BuzzFeed, www.amazon.com

    BuzzFeed Shopping senior writer Emma Lord says: "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 up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets."

    Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT, GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —Janielle

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

    7. A tub of The Pink Stuff to purge your home of tough stains with *THE* most miraculous cleaning paste. You'll be shocked by how quickly and easily this stuff can lift the stains you've been trying to tackle for ages.

    gif of Britt using the pink stuff to scrub stains off of white grout

    Britt Ross / BuzzFeed

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff was able to lift most of the muck off of the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath (GIF for proof!). While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!"

    Promising review: "What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    8. A pack of game-changing washing machine cleaner tablets so your dirty loads don't get even filthier due to lingering grime and repulsive odors. Your machine will literally look brand-new — with hardly any effort on your part.

    They're safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading, and front-loading.

    Promising review: "I was hesitant to order this but it went on sale so I did. It is the only thing that has actually worked. The first time I had to use two since the odor was strong but it did wonders. I’ve run the washer with this for two months now and no odor is coming out. This is one item I will continue to order." —Klove78

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $10.16+ (available in three sizes).

    Amazon

    Promising review: "These liners are life changing! I never thought I needed them until a friend raved about them. Cleanup is so simple, no more melted cheese or sauces burnt to the bottom of my ovens. I love that I can cut them down to size to fit my toaster oven. My husband enjoys grilling with the liners now, he doesn't have to line the grill with aluminum foil which he found so annoying, deterring him to grill. This product really has simplified my life in the kitchen and I love it." —Kindle Custommer

    Get a three-pack from Amazon for $11.99.

    11. A jetted tub cleaner because no one wants to bathe in a tub with dirty jets that can be traced back to... who knows how many previous homeowners *shudder*. Run the water, add the cleaner, and fire up the jets!

    Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub in December. Despite several DIY cleaners, the jets still had a funky smell. Bought this product after seeing it on YouTube, and do not regret my purchase! The amount of 'yuck' that came out of the system was 'ewwww'! Bonus is my entire bedroom suite smelled clean after using!" —Meganb

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    12. microwave steam cleaner for blasting away all the caked-on food you gag at whenever you heat something up. Fill the cleaner with some vinegar, pop it in for a few minutes, and call it a day.

    Promising review: "My daughter cooked ramen noodles for three minutes without any water. Needless to say, it was burnt and almost caught fire. I have scrubbed the microwave and couldn’t get the horrible smell out to the point it was giving me a headache. After several days I decided to order this before buying a new microwave. Got it today and used it and shocked it actually pulled most of the odor out that’s trapped in the upper vent. This $10 item saved me $200–$400." —Angela D.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three colors and sold individually).

    13. Mold and mildew remover spray to defeat mold before it gets way worse. Use it for bathrooms, kitchens, patios, and more. Spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold vanish!

    Promising review: "Definitely worth the hype! Had black mold in the caulk of my shower. Literally sprayed this and let it sit, came back to almost nothing on it! Highly recommend! I tried baking soda and vinegar and hydrogen peroxide 3%, but NOTHING WORKED. THIS DID!" —Kelly Sullivan

    Get a 32-oz bottle from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two sizes and multi-packs).

    14. Or a mold and mildew remover *gel* that'll help you target the awful mold that hangs out around showers, sinks, and tiled areas. Apply it, wait a few hours, and admire your not-so-hard work.

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still managed to grow mold and turn brown/ black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product and the transformation is huge. First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." —Rochelle

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    Promising reviews: "First-time homeowner. We expected to do deep cleaning BUT THIS is just a small fraction of how filthy the cabinets were! I will forever live and advocate in favor of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! Along with lots and lots of wood cleaner!" —Amazon Customer

    "A gentleman who saw the paint on my van recommended this. And Holy cow it actually removed the paint off my van. I was skeptical at first because I tried other things and it didn't work. But only with one magic eraser, it came out! Simple instructions just wetting it, squeezing it, and scrubbing the area. I'm super happy and it looks like nothing ever happened! Totally with the money!" —Keiry

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $5.48.

    16. An adjustable duster brush so you can effortlessly clean tricky areas, like AC vents, fan blades, and between the blinds. Dust is notorious for accumulating in these areas, but this tool will get rid of it in a flash!

    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. Dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman 

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.

    18. A plant-based shower cleaner if you've been battling soap scum and mildew to no avail. This fast and easy solution contains tea tree oil for a natural *and* effective cleaning solution you'll keep coming back to.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets!

    Promising review: "The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterward. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! The only thing I regret is not taking before and after pictures!" —Marie J.

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

    20. Some tiny but mighty gap-cleaning brushes to fit in those hard-to-reach areas you were about to give up on. Ever wondered how on earth you're supposed to remove gunk from door tracks or around windowsills? Problem solved!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "This is an amazing set of brushes. Don't be fooled by the low cost. The brushes are soft and long enough to get into tight spots but firm enough to hold up. They work amazing in those hard-to-clean aluminum window runners and sliding doors. I've used them to clean in enclosed fan blades, refrigerator vents, etc. They wash easily and with a bit of TLC they hold their shape. Always nice to find something so simple and inexpensive that works so well." —CNJ

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $5.95.

    21. A tub of shockingly huge heavy-duty cleaning wipes that'll turn big, revolting messes into swift and simple cleanup jobs. Did I mention these smell aaah-mazing and are gentle on the hands, too?

    Promising review: "I'm in LOVE with these. I wanted something to CLEAN, not disinfect. I bought these knowing full well that they weren't Lysol/Clorox wipes. What I didn't know was that they were already pre-moistened — added bonus! They clean really well (even got my gunky window frames looking brand-new) and the smell is wonderful. I love cleaning my bathroom with these simply because it leaves my bathroom smelling like a soft citrus flower (don't worry, it's nothing like grandma's overwhelming floral scent). I definitely recommend these for cleaning around the house!" —Amber

    Get a tub of 90 wipes from Amazon for $14.98 (available in various wipe sizes and multi-pack varieties).

    Promising review: "A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and rub... Make sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." —Paul Wedero

    Promising review: "You ever look at your toilet brush in disgust and resentment? How's a dirty used up brush sitting in your throne room? You clean your bathroom but then you put that sucker down in its place and it's just like, mocking you. It's never truly immaculate. Never knowing true cleanliness. Fear no more. Now you can shine the porcelain throne and not have to worry about a used up toilet brush mocking your clean sparkling bathroom. Gone are the days of breathing in dirty poop particles from the reusable potty cleaning brush thingy. Clorox Toilet Wand is the answer to your prayers if you want an easy, deep cleaning, toss-away-after-you're-done type contraption for that porcelain throne of yours. Fast, cheap, and easy.

After during a thorough cleaning of my bathroom I always pop of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one.

    Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor...I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into and it sucks them right up. Sure it's more expensive than my actual vacuum but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in eight colors).

    Reviewer photo showing dust and dirt the vacuum picked up

    If you're tired of noisy vacuums that scare your pets and wake up your children (or you're just plain tired of vacuuming), then this robot vacuum cleaner might be an *actual* lifesaver. It delivers powerful suction at a volume that's no louder than your microwave. When more powerful suction is needed in tough areas, it automatically increases suction power within 1.5 seconds. The robot vacuum comes with boundary strips, a remote control and two AAA batteries, an AC power adapter, a charging base, a cleaning tool, an extra set of high-performance filters, four side brushes, five cable ties, a welcome guide, and a 12-month warranty.

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh this thing is AWESOME!!! Have used it daily for a couple of weeks and is STILL pulling dirt from the (rented apt) carpet. Even as the roller continues to get wrapped in dog hair, it doesn't seize up like my upright has. It comes with a handy widget to cut off the tangled fur and brush the dirt off the filter. I don't have the required radius to set to auto; it's not a big deal to release it from the docking station and let it go. My only critique is that the collection bin is a bit small... But I'm hoping sooner or later it will stop pulling a full load of dirt. Absolutely LOVE it. "I" now vacuum daily." —LaurenPB

    Get it from Amazon for $259.99.

    30. A two-pack of reusable mop pads when you're done wasting money on single-use products and dreading having to pull off the flimsy, filthy disposable pad. These are made with extra-thick microfibers that trap dirt when sweeping and absorb moisture when mopping.

    Promising review: "The velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers) and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary Patterson

    31. A life-changing dishwashing spray for anyone who knows the struggle of not having access to a dishwasher. This fantastic formula and bottle combo allows you to spray dirty dishes, let 'em sit for a few minutes, then rub away the crud with a simple wipe and rinse.

    Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! 

    Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this spray: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."

    Promising review: “This is it: the solution to all pet odors EVER!!!!! I moved into a rental but could definitely tell there had been a cat here before us. Sorry, cat lovers! They are cute, but they can smell bad if not properly cleaned up after, and I’m seriously allergic!!! So, I knew I had some scrubbing and massive cleaning ahead of me so that I could live here. I bought this and OMG! It was like magic!!! The smell was gone from every room except the downstairs bathroom, which I figured was the scene of the crime: the litter box location!!!!! I sprayed that room as though I was cleaning up evidence from a horrific crime and got the doorjamb really well. It is unreal, but the smell is GONE.” —LauraLiz

    35. A wow-worthy wine stain remover because we all know the feeling of having that *one* rug that's had way too many run-ins with a glass of Merlot. You'll eliminate the stain for good instead of playing a game of musical furniture to hide it!

    Good news! It works on stains new and old so don't be discouraged if you come across a spill after the fact.

    Promising review: "A guest dumped an ENTIRE glass of red wine on my light cream/white living room carpet. I thought I was a goner, but I had nothing to lose — I had never tried it and it was just sitting under the sink. Wine Away was miraculous at getting the stain out. I now buy it for family and friends. It makes a great hostess gift!" —S. Smith
