    If You Hate Cleaning But Hate Living In Filth Even More, These 31 Products Will Do Most Of The Work For You

    Products to help you clean the most annoying things in your home ~without~ the elbow grease.

    1. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets you'll appreciate because they power away the limescale and mineral buildup that you can't see in your dishwasher so you can restore it to its squeaky-clean state and have one less thing on your plate. (Get it?)

    The same dishwasher, which is now stain-free after using the tablets

    It suits all dishwasher machine makes and models. Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!

    Promising review: "This really works great for cleaning dishwashers. Don't tell anyone, but I haven't previously cleaned my dishwasher since we bought it about four years ago. It had a decent amount of funk on it and it started to smell funny. That's why I bought these tablets. I used one — put it in the detergent compartment and turned on the dishwasher on normal setting. After the cycle was done, all the sediment from a few years of use was gone and any unpleasant odor was nonexistent. Zero effort required, easy to use, and worth trying!" —Agy

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $7.99.

    2. ChomChom pet hair remover to pick up all your dog's (and your!) hair as you roll it back and forth across any surface. It's a fan fave and requires no adhesives, sticky tape, or batteries to clean up after your furry family member. Seriously, this deserves ALL the rounds of appaws.

    Reviewer photo of a black pillow covered in white dog hair and you can clearly see which side they brushed with the fur remover because all the dog hair is gone in that section
    reviewer photo of the pet hair remover filled with hair

    Promising review: "This is by far the best thing that I've ever used to remove pet hair from just about any fabric surface, whether it's a couch, bed comforter, or even dress pants! Moving the brush back and forth quickly, as recommended in the instructions, is both the quickest and best method to remove pet hair, and it's super-easy to clean out. Highly recommended!" —MDW

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors).

    3. And a rubber broom because it attracts pet hair from your carpet like a magnet and has an adjustable handle and a built-in squeegee. This bad boy may reveal to you the color that your carpet should *actually* be.

    A reviewer's two dogs sitting with the ball of fur that the broom removed from the carpet in front of them

    www.amazon.com, Emma Lord/BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, "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 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 FURemover broom review for more deets."

    Promising review: "Holy cow! I have two dogs who shed like wild. I bought a new vacuum thinking that would help, I spent a lot of money on cleaning liquids and powders specifically for carpet, but nothing brought the my rug's original color back. I bought this on a whim thinking 'Why not? I've tried everything else.' The first time I used it I got a furball the size of my medium-sized dog! And the same the second time! You have to put some elbow grease into it and go over the area several times, but my rug looks almost brand-new! I think if I use it once a week, I'll be able to keep my rug looking clean. I also really like the adjustable handle and that it has a squeegee as well as the rubber bristles. It would also work on other types of flooring besides carpet." —Destiny

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in seven styles).

    4. A cleverly designed O-Cedar mop and bucket set that is so easy to use, it would've probably let Cinderella get to the ball on time. It has a hands-free wringing system and is made to reach into those ~extra~ dusty corners. Who knows if we'll ever not complain about having to mop, but at least this brilliant invention will give you clean floors that makes it look like you totally love it.

    Reviewer GIF demonstrating how to ring out the mop
    a reviewer's sparkling clean wood floor

    Reviewers say the wringing system is a total game changer — all you have to do is press the pedal down with your foot, and it'll spin away excess water (like in the GIF above). Another plus is the mop head, which has a unique triangular shape for getting into hard-to-reach corners and can be cleaned in the washing machine!

    Promising reviews: "This mop is fantastic!!! I clean for a living and use professional equipment provided to me...I use THIS mop at home and I like it even better! Easy to use, great on my vinyl plank flooring, and works great getting into small areas like around the toilet. I normally use a steam mop or a microfiber mop head on a push mop, and I think this mop does a much better job. Very happy with this purchase...would definitely recommend!" —Kellj23

    "OK, I am like, obsessed with this mop. It is just extremely well designed in almost every way. The handle is extendable but collapses pretty small, the mop head is removable and can be put in the wash, the mop head is triangle shaped so it fits in corners, the spin pump is easy to use and gets water out super efficiently. The only small thing is that the mop bucket doesn't have wheels. But it's so forgivable given everything else." —Rex

    Get it from Amazon for $34.97 (also available as a set with extra mop heads).

    5. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to deep clean and deodorize your garbage disposal and pipes that have probably gone a little too long without your attention 😬. It removes hidden bacteria, leaves a lemon fresh scent, and can even help extend the life of your disposal!

    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 from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in two sizes). 

    6. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green cleaner, which is likely to become your BFF when it comes to tackling the toughest stains in your home. This little machine's strong spray and suction can easily remove spots, stains, and odors. Use it in your car too — it's compact and portable!

    reviewer before photo showing a stained dining room chair seat
    same reviewer's after photo showing the beige seat looking good as new after being cleaned with the little green

    It comes with a tough stain tool, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.

    Promising review: "This thing is great! I have kiddos and a dog who has difficulty with her bladder. I knew trying to soak everything up with just towels wasn't enough. It worked wonders when I knocked over an entire glass of chai. This has great suction power and I feel very comfortable that it is doing an excellent cleaning job. The dirty water side is very easy to dump out to clean which is extremely convenient. So far, it's the best home cleaning tool I've ever purchased!" —LP

    Get it from Amazon for $109.59+.

    7. A nontoxic carpet cleaning solution for when your floor has suffered through too much abuse from your pet. You can use it with your vacuum to remove those seemingly impossible stains and leave your carpet with a delightfully minty scent.

    This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free. 

    Promising review: "A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! 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. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it's concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as important, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!" —Marie J.

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

    8. Or a pack of stain-removing pads because owning them will really let you secure that professional dog mom title (especially for those of us with pups who think the carpet is their personal pee pad 🙃). Whether it's a wet or dry stain, all you gotta do is stomp it onto the ground and watch as it does the work for you!

    same reviewer's photo showing a clear rectangle surrounded by the stain to demonstrate how well the pad worked during a spot test

    They're also great for things like wine, mud, coffee, blood, and juice.

    Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." —Matt

    Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49.

    9. A 100% natural oven scrub made of pumice powder and essential oils that give it deep-cleaning powers free of harsh fumes while leaving a light, fresh scent. This might just make you excited to clean the oven. (Can you imagine?)

    Everneat / Etsy

    It also comes with a metallic scrubber!

    Everneat is a small biz based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.

    Promising reviews: "Love everything about this! Love the scent and the clean it provides! We could not get our oven window clean with any previous product — this did it in seconds :)" —Elizabeth Rowe

    "This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!" —Traci Hutchinson

    Get it from Everneat on Etsy or Amazon for $19.99 (available in three scents).

    10. A reusable cleaning ball because the amount random loose particles that somehow end up in your bag is truly astounding. Just toss it in, roll it around, and let its sticky surface pick up all the pesky dirt, dust, and crumbs!

    Amazon

    Promising review: "I found out about this little gadget from a TikTok video, and I thought I'd give it a try. I usually keep some sort of snack in my purse, and as much as I try to keep the containers sealed and to keep my bags clean, I inevitably end up with those annoying little micro-crumbs at the bottom. As soon as I ordered this ball, I put it straight into my purse, and within a day or two, it was already time to wash it! It picks up a lot for being so small! Pro tip: To open it, squeeze the thick ring around the middle and it should pop apart pretty easily. Rinse off the sticky ball part with just water, then put it back together and let it air dry for a couple of hours. Good as new! I highly recommend this product. Whether you have kids or not, bags just get lint and teeny tiny little crumbs over time. Buy it!!" —Sarah Couv

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in three colors, as well as a set of three). 

    11. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner — this mom actually cleans for you instead of being angry that you didn't clean. Just fill with vinegar and water, heat in the microwave for about seven minutes, and admire how easily those gross, crusty food remnants wipe right off ~without~ the need for any hard scrubbing while crouched into that tiny space.

    same reviewer's after photo of the angry mama in a clean microwave

    Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey

    Get it from Amazon for $6.91 (available in four colors).

    12. A pack of oven liners made of nonstick material that prevents your dinner's overflow from creating a sticky, frustrating mess on the floor of your oven. This way, you can just remove the liner at the end of the night to rinse it off instead of having to get on your knees and scrub your oven clean.

    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 pack of three from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available in a combo pack). 

    13. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner so your self-care bath is relaxing, luxurious, and (most importantly) clean! If you have a jetted tub, first of all — I'm jealous. Second of all, the last thing you want during your "me time" is to be soaking in a bath full of dirt. Just pour this liquid into the running water, turn the jets on, and you'll have a sparkling tub in just 15 minutes.

    Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. 

    Promising review: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" —Becky

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84 (also available in a gallon size and in a pack of two).

    14. Plus a Wet & Forget shower cleaner to rid your shower of soap scum, grime, and body oils without all the laborious scrubbing. It also removes stains from non-porous surfaces and leaves behind a soft, delightful vanilla scent.

    reviewer before photo showing a very dirty shower floor
    same reviewer's after photo showing the shower floor looking much cleaner

    Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing the Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for use on the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

    15. And if you're looking for something else you can set and forget, a multipurpose outdoor cleaner — it'll make those seemingly impossible moss and mildew stains on your driveway, fence, and patio disappear! Just spray some on and say goodbye to that ugly greenish color you thought would forever be there.

    Promising review: "I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." —PM in NH

    Get it from Amazon for $20.64.

    16. Or an electric pressure washer to make your dull patio furniture and fence look brand-new. You can also use it on your porch and lawn equipment! One reviewer said they even got great results without using a cleaning solution, and that it's quite satisfying to use!

    wooden fence that's brown in the middle where it's been pressure washed and gray with residue on either side

    It's great for washing down cars, houses, boats, patios, and outdoor furniture, and it comes with two detergent tanks, a garden hose adapter, and a clean-out tool. It even comes with five spray tips to help you attack light- to heavy-duty cleaning tasks.

    Promising review: "I love this washer. It competes with my 2,200-psi gas-powered pressure washer, which in fact I sold to keep this. But doesn't have the noisy gas engine or the heavy weight. Easy to move around lightweight and has great power. Very quiet. I love all the attachments and the different stream types. The soap dispenser works well. I'm cleaning everything, my deck, my house, the garage doors, the concrete slab. It takes off all the dirt and mold from the old concrete stairs and sidewalk." —Tim S.

    Get it from Amazon for $149.

    17. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets that clean deep inside every part of your machine (including the parts you can't see!) to help remove odor-causing residues and grime. If you've every had to wash any items that your furry friend had an accident on, you know the smell I'm talking about.

    The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading.

    Promising review: "I did notice my clothes smelling, let's say, not so fresh. Kinda funky. After reading the reviews, I purchased a box (which according to the box, lasts six months). OK, I'll try it. I've got a new washer with a button that says 'Clean Washer.' How easy can it get? The first load of clothes after using this product, I was an immediate fan. Wow! What a difference! I'm kicking myself for not getting it sooner. Love the side panel to check off the month you used it. Thank you!" —Two Fishes

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.16 (also available in packs of three or five). 

    18. A box of dye- and chlorine-free dishwasher detergent pods, because who has time to individually wash each sauce-coated dish? Add one pod of this to your dishwasher, and you'll have sparkling dishes free of that unaesthetic spotting and filming. No pre-rinse required!

    They're made with mineral-based ingredients, are cruelty-free, and come in compostable packaging! 

    Promising review: "I wasn't expecting much when I bought these. I thought for sure it was another environmentally safe product that would only do half the job. But they are amazing and get the dishes clean with no residue. Well worth the money and so convenient. I will be using these from now on." —TamiP

    Get a pack of 32 from Amazon for $12.38 (available in unscented, lemon, or fresh rain, as well as packs of 64 and 120).

    19. Puracy spray that shocked one reviewer with how well it removed greasy stains. It uses six powerful plant-based enzymes to take care of the latest coffee stain you got as you rushed to work (but still had time for coffee, because there's always time for that).

    same reviewer's after photo showing the pants looking spotless

    Based in Austin, Texas, Puracy was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children. 

    Promising review: "I can't speak highly enough about this product. It is hands down the best stain remover I have ever used. And it's natural! I've used it to lift stains of all sorts, it gets grease out with no troubles at all. I've even used it to lift stains that have stayed stuck in my clothes for months and maybe even years. I originally bought it for my mom who has a laundry obsession, but ended up purchasing it for myself because it is an essential item for having on hand in the laundry room. I will continue to purchase this product whenever I run out and would recommend it to anyone." —DS

    Get a 12-oz. bottle from Amazon for $9.99 (also available as a stain remover for baby clothes and as a carpet cleaner).

    20. Or an all-purpose stain spray to save your favorite white top from eternal ruin after an incident during pizza night. Just spritz it on any fabric and marvel at how it magically makes the stain disappear. It's perfect to carry with you on the go so that nothing can mess with your OOTD!

    The Hate Stains Co. is a small biz that was founded by a parent who set out to create a stain remover that was nontoxic but effective. 

    Promising review: "I've tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I've tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded. I can't believe I didn't have this sooner, I'm about to buy a gallon!" —Mark, the solid 7 out of 10

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes, in packs of two or three, and with on-the-go wipes). 

    21. A cult-favorite TubShroom if your shower drain always ends up looking like Chewbacca just took a bath. It catches all types of hair and product residue to prevent your drains from getting clogged (and your plumber visit costs from going up!).

    reviewer photo of a gray tubshroom in a drain
    same reviewer pulling the gray tubshroom filled with hair out of the drain

    Promising review: "I hardly ever write reviews, but this thing is so amazing I had to share. With every shower I take, I shed a TON of hair and stick it to the wall so that no hair goes down my drain. I thought this method was working out well but my drain was continuing to stop up. I figured it must be my sister's fault since I was so good about not letting any hairs go down the drain, but I went ahead ordered the TubShroom after seeing advertisements on Facebook. I got this thing and after only two showers, it collected a crap ton of my hair that I didn't catch. It really is so easy to install and wipe away the hair, exactly like the videos. Awesome invention, and I'm super happy with this purchase!" —Megan K.

    Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors and a set of two). 

    22. A highly rated portable car vacuum, because the last road trip your group spent eating in the car wasn't the first, and it certainly won't be the last. This easily wipes of away all those crumbs and makes it look like nothing ever happened. It's also compact enough to keep it in your car at all times (you know, just in case)!

    The same reviewer's backseat floor completely sand-free after using the vacuum

    It comes with three attachments: flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle, along with a carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Reviewers also say its 16-foot cord is great for reaching the backs of larger vehicles. 

    Promising review: "Decided to buy this vacuum cleaner because we have a baby and we need to keep our surroundings clean. We were pleasantly surprised with the packaging and the bag that it came with, making it very convenient to carry around and keep at one place. The vacuum itself is powerful, easily cleaned out the sand from the car seats, as well as the other dirt from the floor mat. The cord is long, so you don't have to worry about the back seats and trunk. Easy to clean, comes with an extension to get into narrow spots. We're satisfied!" —AsadaFries

    Get it from Amazon for $29.89+ (available in black or white, as well as a cordless option).

    23. A set of cleaning K-Cups — just what your single-serving coffee maker needs! It flushes out all of the residue that's been making your morning coffee taste...weird (as if Monday mornings aren't hard enough 🙄). Pop one in and brew as if you were making your go-to hot drink, then brew again without the cup to rinse it out. Now all that's left to do is *sips coffee* ~enjoy~.

    No wiping or scrubbing needed!

    Promising review: "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 I 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 pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available as a 12-pack). 

    24. And for your travel mugs, a pack of bottle cleaning tablets, because you've been taking that same mug to work for a couple of weeks now and it could probably use a little refresh. The best part? It takes almost no effort on your part! Simply fill your bottle with warm water, drop in a tablet, let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, rinse, and kiss those coffee stains good bye.

    Promising review: "Despite being diligent and rinsing my bottles out, they do tend to accumulate funky color, slight odor, etc. and generally just get gunkier over time. I heated up a pot of water, filled a few bottles, dropped one of these into each, and 15 minutes later most were sparkling clean, good as new. A few of the worst needed to be left a few hours/overnight, but in every case these pills worked magic. I also tried one just for kicks on my stainless steel lined coffee pot, over five years of daily use with filtered water, monthly descaling process, etc. but still showing browning inside, and one pill cleared all the stains away." —C Stevens

    25. A window blind duster brush if you, too, have convinced yourself that those window slats are one of the few things no one will notice are...kinda dusty. I mean, just the thought of cleaning each individual slat sounds like too much work. But fear not! This handy tool lets you finally enjoy dust-free window blinds without requiring much time or effort.

    Reviewer close-up of all the dust the brush picked up from the blinds

    Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioner vents and car blinds.

    Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two colors).

    26. A pair of bamboo charcoal air-purifying bags that you can stick into your shoes (or really, anything) if they're in need of some serious ~odor relief~. They also last up to two years so that, uh...cheese smell has a hard time coming back👋.

    To rejuvenate, simply place the bags in the sun once a month for at least one hour. 

    Promising review: "I was skeptical about these when they arrived because I've never used anything like it before. I did NOT want something to cover up odors or make my feet smell like a robust dryer sheet. I just wanted the odor gone. We've been having temperatures here over 100 degrees lately and although I wear socks with my Vans, they were getting a bit pungent. I slid one of these into each sneaker and hoped for the best. Less than 12 hours later, the odor was gone...GONE! When a product works like it says it should = happy customer. I've only used them for about a week now, so I haven't had to recharge them yet, but I'm really happy I bought these." —C. Welte

    Need a drill? Here's one.

    Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing. 

    Promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before (even with using tough elbow grease and a standard bristle brush). No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot. Used the large flat circular brush for the door and walls, and the round toilet bowl type brush worked great in the corners and on fixtures." —Molly

    28. A machine-washable faucet splash catcher because it soaks up all the extra water that ends up on around your sink throughout the day. Beats wasting paper towels and having to constantly wipe that countertop down!

    29. An effective mold and mildew remover that will give you results that'll both delight and embarrass you. (Because how in the world can a shower get that dirty??) All you gotta do is let it sit for seven to eight hours as it sticks to the grout grime and buildup, wipe away, and voila!

    Promising review: "You guys. I’m embarrassed to even show you this. The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub. The cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I came across this in a BuzzFeed list, and this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it. Like today." —KarynB

    30. A bottle of Goo Gone kitchen degreaser, because those greasy stains on your stovetop that you thought you were stuck with? Nope, no match for this stuff. Its fast-acting foaming formula cuts right through that grease and makes that stove look brand-new.

    It's safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!

    Promising reviews: "I moved into a new apartment in September, and the kitchen was full of grease stains on the floor, floorboards, walls, and cabinets. They must have been there for a long time, since I was never able to get them up. I tried every type of cleaning solution, brush, sponge, wipe, you name it. The second I used this product on the stains they came up immediately. I didn't even have to put any elbow grease into it, I literally just wiped over it a few times and it was gone. I would leave more than 5 stars if I could." —alysonnnnn__

    "Works well at getting out turmeric stains from my formica countertops and kitchen sink. I have used other degreasers, but this is the best one so far. Also, it doesn't generate fumes that make me cough." —s patel

    Get it from Amazon for $6.89+ (available in two sizes). 

    31. A brilliant wheel cleaner to give your hubcaps a shiny makeover. Just spray it on and watch as the color-changing formula goes from yellow to deep purple as it dissolves the brake dust and dirt. Then, wipe away and ta-da!

    It works with various wheel finishes including chrome, aluminum, steel, clear-coated, PVD, painted, plastic wheel covers, magnesium, and aftermarket wheels.

    Promising review: "It will take one look from your friends to say 'Did you buy some new wheels?' This stuff is absolutely amazing. For the full effect, dismount your wheel, spray the back. Go do something for 10 minutes. Wash with water, no scrubbing needed. Turn the rim face up, do it again. Do the rest of your rims, and don't forget the tire protectant when you reinstall them. This stuff will handle salt, road tar, off-road dirt and mud — you get it dirty, it comes clean. Where was this stuff when I was racing off-road?" —johnfcon

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available as a much larger refill).
