25 Target Products That'll Help With All Of Your Spring Cleaning
We're talking every room, top to bottom.
1. A pair of sturdy-yet-comfy cleaning gloves to protect your latest mani as well as prevent all those cleaning chemicals from drying out your hands.
2. A bottle of glass cooktop cleaner so you can FINALLY get your electric stove top looking presentable (and usable) again.
3. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash formulated to cut through the toughest grease and grime to leave your dishes, countertops, and glass looking better than when you bought them. PLUS, it delivers all that with essentially no back-breaking scrubbing required.
Target
Promising review:"This product is the best. Easy and quick with clean, beautiful results! My new favorite. Did you know it's amazing on hard water spots? Try it on your shower's glass door — spotless!" — Kmurr
4. An O-Cedar spin mop and bucket that represents what I would call true *MOP MAGIC.* With a hands-free wringer, splash guard, and millions of microfiber strands that can cut through dirt *without* harsh chemicals, I'm not sure what else you could ask of a mop. This thing is the GOAT of cleaning house.
Target
Promising review:"Literally obsessed with this thing! It makes cleaning every nook and cranny so much easier. I use it for my floors, walls, ceilings, behind the toilet, you name it. So happy I bought it." — Momofgirls
5. A bottle of oven cleaner to remove grime, grease, stains, and caked-on food — all in a matter of minutes (and prevent your smoke alarm from going off every time you try to make some tater tots).
Target
Promising review:"Powerful cleaning. I am in love with this oven cleaner. I sprayed the product on, waited 20–30 minutes, and then wiped it off. Most of the nasty baked-on messes wiped right off. I will likely need a longer setting time for the little bits left over. Remember to ventilate well and not use in conjunction with bleach!" — Jijizzzzzzz
6. An extendable tub and tile scrubber, because why throw out your back while deep cleaning when you don't have to?
Target
7. A honeysuckle-scented surface cleaner from Mrs. Meyer's powerful enough to disinfect just about anything in your home, while being gentle enough that you can use it safely around children and pets. Plus, it smells divine!
Target
Promising review:"I love these cleaners. I feel they get grime off easier and work on a multitude of surfaces. I use them to clean or wipe any surface such as counter, my washer and dryer smudges, fridge handle/door, bathroom sink, etc. I love some of the scents and am repurchasing another now." — Ycas
8. A three-pack of Clorox wipes so you'll be prepared when the next disaster strikes. They're safe to use on everything from finished wood to granite countertops and kill off all kinds of yucky bacteria and viruses along the way.
Target
Promising review:"My mother taught me always to vacuum the floorboards, but I never do. So after a while, they accumulate dust and look grungy. These are perfect for wiping them down so I can ignore them for a month or two. And of course, these are great wipes for countertops. But they're essential for getting dust off the toilet tank (why do toilets hold onto dust so tenaciously, anyway?) and getting to hard-to-clean spots around faucets as well." — Theabeanster
9. A Bissel carpet cleaner to zhuzh all your rugs, couch cushions, upholstered chairs and decorative pillows with the high-powered deep clean they deserve (and have desperately needed for low-key years). Dust, dander, and dirt be darned!
Target
10. A Dyson cordless vacuum because the worst part of vacuuming is battling with the cord. Reviewers rave about its ability to suck up pet hair from any surface!
Target
Promising review:"Nothing like a cordless vacuum! It makes cleaning fun again. The Dyson does a wonderful job and even does the stairs. The only downside is that it does not hold a charge long but still so much easier to navigate than a big upright sweeper." — Rheen
11. A six-pack of microfiber cleaning cloths so you can wipe up every surface in your home in the most sustainable way possible — because there's nothing sexy about ripping through two full rolls of paper towel just to clean your bathroom. Washable and reusable, these'll serve you well time and time again.
Target
Promising review:"Perfect for cleaning. I wish they would have these waffle texture cloths individually, I use them the most." — Ami 2
12. A hard-working, multitasking Scrub Mommy sponge here to literally bring a smile to the arduous task of doing your daily dishes. More importantly, that smile is helpful when it comes to scraping off every last bit of food stuck to your silverware and utensils!
Target
Promising review:"Absolutely love this scrubber/sponge; since I made the change to these, I haven't bought any other sponges." — Rosie
13. A Mr. Clean Magic Eraser that really is some abracadabra stuff (*cue Lady Gaga*). Prepare to watch the scuffs and stains dotting your home disappear right before your very eyes — you will be STUNNED!
Target
14. A three-pack of drain cleaner tools because I wasn't playing when I said DEEP cleaning. That drain in your bathroom is likely loaded with hair and other scum — which means its time to go where no human should ever have to go, but inevitably must.
Target
15. A bottle of lime, calcium, and rust cleaner to rid your shower and bathroom of tough hard water stains. You'll feel so much cleaner showering in a CLEAN shower (I know, crazy concept).
Target
Promising review:"This product instantly removed hard water stains that were baked onto my black truck. I had previously tried all the other methods I found on YouTube and none of them worked and were quite labor intensive. I highly recommend this product." — worked on my truck too
16. A four-piece Swiffer dusting kit, because even though you have been ignoring those rotating wings on your ceiling fan or the tops of your bookshelves, the dust does not care and has been doing its thing anyway. Now you have no excuses.
Target
Promising review:"Never been a duster person; I feel like you just move dust from one place to the next, but this is incredible. So easy. So efficient. Lightweight. Easy to reach hard-to-reach places, and dust actually clings to the duster. What a game changer!" — NK
17. A box of eight Lemi Shine garbage disposal tablets because while the G.D. is a blessing to have, it can end up smelling pretty badly. These convenient little tablets help freshen things up for ya in an instant.
Target
18. A clear organizing bin here to the rescue AFTER you spend hours cleaning up all those spills and crumbs from your fridge. Keep things in these handy bins going forward — they're SO much easier to take out and clean rather than an entire shelf or drawer. Plus, they'll help keep you organized and make your fridge look like an Erewhon.
Target
19. A bottle of Goo Gone spray because every home has some mysterious gooey substance that no one is quite sure where it came from. Fortunately, this liquid gold is sure to do the trick in no time.
Target
20. A toilet-cleaning gel stamp set to keep your porcelain throne spotless, flush after flush. Just stamp the gel into your toilet and watch in awe as it does its thing.
21. A five-pack of Affresh washing machine cleaners because, yes, your dishwasher does need to be cleaned occasionally, despite the fact that its literal job is to wash the things you put inside it.
Target
Promising review:"We use this on the 10th of every month. It really cleans the tub. I wipe the inside of the lid and the drum top to make sure the washer is ready to go for the next month." — 49ernut
22. A power scrubber, which takes its inspiration from your electric toothbrush to visibly restore your tile grout back to its former glory — and just about anything else in your home that's covered in a weird gunk.
Target
Promising review:"My husband and I absolutely love our lil' scrubber! We bought it to use on interior auto upholstery where our drill brushes simply can't agitate. Seams of seats, around the head rests; the bristles are even soft enough to use on the dash plastic and did an awesome job at de-gunking dash buttons!" — Miranda
Price: $19.99
23. A shower squeegee to rid the glass around your in-house waterfall of any streaks, water stains, and mildew that might be building up. Works great on steamed-up bathroom mirrors after getting out of the shower, too!
Target
Promising review:"I purchased this to clean glass shower doors after showering. The short handle makes it perfect. It cleans glass so well that you think there is no door there!! I have also used it on windows. I have only had it a couple of weeks, so am hoping it holds up well. The hooked handle allows you to hang it near the shower." — chris
24. A HEPA air purifier that'll circulate the air in your room four times per hour and is virtually silent. Pet hair, dander, dust, and seasonal allergies are no match for this lil' thing.
Target
Promising review:"It has made a noticeable difference in the air quality. Wish I had purchased this sooner. Easy to use; love the night-light and timer features." — Daisy B
Price: $89.99
25. And a pack of stainless steel wipes to instantly wipe away those mysterious streaks, smudges and handprints that somehow always appear on your fridge, oven, and sink.
Target
Promising review:"I've tried a few different stainless steel cleaners, and by far this one is top of the mark! I even use it on my sink when it's wet, and it always dries to a beautiful shine when used on my enamel stove; it is the best for cleaning stainless steel and kitchen appliances! Thank you, Weiman; you're the best!" — Kat
Price: $4.99 for 30 wipes

Should parents pay for classroom supplies? Ticked-off teacher sparks back-to-school debate: ‘Crying over crayons'
This teacher's ticked. An enraged educator is calling out her students' penny-pinching parents over their refusal to chip for a few additional back-to-school supplies the school district allegedly can't afford — adding fresh fuel to the ongoing debate over who pays for what in public education. 'Just so we're clear, I'm expected to take a bullet for little Johnny and his classmates,' began Randi's viral rant on TikTok, which has now received over 1.4 million views. 4 Randi, a teacher, blasted parents who are not buying supplies for their kids and classmates to use throughout the school year. Lucia PSV – 'But little Johnny's mother does not see it fit to provide for the community with some Clorox wipes, some tissues, maybe an extra pack of pencils?' The redhead's hot take comes as NYC educators report shelling out hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars to bridge budget gaps — even turning to crowdfunding in a desperate attempt to drum up the necessary cash. Cash-strapped parents aren't pleased with the nationwide trend — with one Tampa-based mom virally vowing not to purchase any school supplies for her five children ahead of the 2025 fall semester. She argued, in part, that the onus is on teachers and school administrators to provide educational tools and utensils — much like it was the parents' burden to furnish all learning implements while homeschooling during the COVID-19 lockdown. The conversation carries on amid a nationwide teacher shortage — with Empire State learners taking a hard hit. 4 Some parents argue that they should not be expected to furnish classrooms with learning supplies, when schools failed to provide educational tools for remote-learning during the pandmeic. Elena – A whopping 86% of New York schools find it difficult to hire qualified candidates — while over 60% of those already on the job report being dissatisfied with their career, per recent data. Meanwhile, burned out educators are walking away from the chalkboard for more inancially-stable positions as private tutors — and even Hooters waitresses. And while the revved-up Randi hasn't publicly announced any plans to leave the desk and teach tots one-on-one, or sling chicken wings, it seems the professional is more than fed-up with unhelpful folks. 4 School supplies have become a hot-button issue between teachers and parents online. David Tran – 4 Randi noted that she'd be forced to make 'the ultimate sacrifice' for her students in the case of a school shooting, while parents aren't willing to make a monetary sacrifice for the children in their communities. Taras Grebinets – 'I have to make the ultimate sacrifice for the community, the school,' she said, doubling down on the dangers of being a teacher. 'But little Johnny's mother does not think she has to make any sacrifices for the community?.' The commentariat appeared to side with the indignant instructor — concurring that little Johnny's mommy is a big meanie. 'Everybody wants a village but nobody wanna be a villager,' a commenter chimed, scolding folks who are unwilling to pitch in to meet classroom budget shortfalls. 'Parents complaining about school supplies are the same parents that don't sit down and read with their kids,' another spat. 'Johnny's mother also thinks you should be providing for Johnny out of your own pocket, because they do not value teachers,' an equally peeved onlooker added. 'These parents are taking it out the wrong people,' wrote another. ''If they don't wanna shell out money for school supplies, they should be up at those board meetings [and] electing better representatives, fighting for public school funding. Not on this app crying over crayons.'

Save up to 80% on backpacks, notebooks and more in Target's annual back-to-school sale
While there's plenty of summer left to be enjoyed, we are entering the back-to-school deals territory. To prevent a mad dash the night before the first day of school, start prepping now. This week only, Target's Back to School-idays sale is live with deep discounts on school supplies, 20% off lunch items, 30% off backpacks and in select cases even more. I've picked 15 of my favorite deals so far and highlighted them below. Some of them carry my own seal of approval after using them through my collegiate years or even my elementary and middle school days. So, I can vouch that they're some all-time favorites and trusted essentials. Enday Double Deck Large Pencil Box Keep writing utensils, highlighters, sharpeners and the like organized in this budget-friendly pencil box. It has six compartments on each side for double the storage space and is suited for those headed to kindergarten or older. 4E's Novelty College Ruled Composition Notebook, 4-Pack Elementary school aged students are most likely going to need a couple of composition notebooks, so you should grab this $19 four-pack while you can. They'll have a few for a variety of subjects and one to leave in the classroom for journaling. Bright Creations Rainbow Classroom Turn In Trays (Set of 6) Teachers should get in on the back-to-school savings with this vibrant turn-in tray. Coordinate each color to a particular subject so students can hand in homework and other assignments with ease. It usually goes for over $40, but recently dipped to under $30 with this discount. Blue Panda Geometric Pocket Folders, 12-Pack Quit searching around the store for different colored folders and buy this under $20 set from Blue Panda. None of the solids or patterns repeat, so your kid will have no issue matching each one to their preferred class. Kingart Colored Pencil Set These pigmented colored pencils are great to have on hand for older students taking up studio art or younger ones who have an interest in drawing. The set comes with 36 blendable and layerable colors that make your drawings pop off the page. You're getting a higher-end set at a great value with this 24% discount. Kipling Seoul Extra Large Laptop Backpack I've been using a Kipling since I was in middle school. I actually used this exact backpack all throughout high school and even during my college years. It fits a ton and is comfortable to wear walking around campus or from class to class. This 40% discount in two dark colors is unbeatable. Lands' End Kids Flap Front Backpack It's no secret how much we love Lands' End at CNN Underscored and now you can snag this lightweight and breathable pack for your little one for under $50. It has plenty of pockets, a laptop sleeve and buckle closures on its exterior. Smurfs Allover Print Backpack The newest 'Smurfs' movie just came out this summer and if you or your kid are obsessed, consider snagging this almost 30% off backpack. It has the classic print which gives it a vintage feel and can fit a laptop, books and even a water bottle in its handy holder. All In Motion 23-Liter Air Mesh Backpack Think Dagne and Dover, but on a budget. Target's in-house All In Motion line has tons of water repellent pieces that are suitable for taking to the gym or to class. It comes in a neutral black, light blue and punchy pink and all are 30% off for a limited time. X Ray Waterproof Expandable Roll Top Backpack Parents going back to school or commuting to work will love this waterproof backpack from X Ray. It kind of reminds me of a much more expensive pack from Rains with its sleek exterior and black accents, but this model, which has a secure laptop pouch, is under $30. Simple Modern 22-Ounce Summit Water Bottle Stylish reusable water bottles that keep beverages cool all day long are a must for this time of year. Keep yourself hydrated this school year, whether you're a student or a teacher, with one of Simple Modern's sleek tumblers. All four colors and prints are 20% off, bringing it to just $20. Hydrapeak 14-Ounce Mini Insulated Water Bottle With Lid This tiny but mighty water bottle features a carrying handle that's easy for your little one to hold on to during the school day. The foldable straw is perfect for easy sipping and it's leakproof, so you don't have to worry about spills in their lunchbox. Vera Bradley Women's Outlet Cotton Lunch Bunch Fun fact: I had this lunchbox as a tween and used it instead of a paper bag when bringing my lunch to school. I still have one today and use it when I go to the beach since it fits my water bottle (or two), a sandwich and snacks. Built NY Neoprene Lunch Tote Bag Keep food cold for up to four hours sans an ice pack with the natural insulation from the neoprene on this tote. Since its fabric is also stretchy, you can fit more than you think in it since it wraps around a variety of shapes and sizes. It's washable, lightweight and starts at $20. Tirrinia Small Insulated Lunch Bag If you're on the hunt for a no-frills lunch box, this is it. The buckle strap can be attached to a backpack, tote and more. Plus, the lunch box itself is larger than a traditional one, which is more compactly built. Choose from three colors before it's gone — plus, if you need it ASAP, it can be delivered by August 2. Although we haven't entered into August just yet, it'll be here in just a few days. After that the summer seems to slip on by and all of a sudden its the fall. If you want to avoid buying supplies, gear and the like when it's crunch time, consider perusing Target's vast array of back-to-school deals before it's too late. You're going to have to buy most of these items anyway, so you might as well get them while they're on sale. Our deals team has over a decade of combined commerce journalism experience.

36 Incredibly Stupid Jokes That Are Funny
Over on Quora, people are sharing their absolute favorite stupid joke — you know, the kind that makes you laugh even though you know you shouldn't. Did I laugh at these? Yes. Yes, I did. What? You think they've got Mensa members working here at BuzzFeed? Anyway, here are the funniest ones: "I still remember the last words my grandpa said before he kicked the bucket. He said, 'Hey, how far do you reckon I could kick this bucket?'" "A man decides to become a monk. He meets with the head monk, who tells him, 'If you agree to enter here, you must take a vow of silence. After each year, you are allowed to speak just two words.' The man agrees and becomes a monk. A year later, he goes in to see the administrator. 'Bed hard,' the man says. The administrator nods and sends him away. Another year passes. The man returns. 'Food cold,' he says. The administrator nods and sends him away. A year later, the man comes in and says, 'I quit.' The administrator replies, 'I'm not surprised. You've done nothing but complain since you got here.'" "A BOOB, a VAGINA, and an ASSHOLE are debating as to who is the greatest of them all." "I went to the doctors and got a vasectomy because I didn't want kids. When I got home they were still there." "There was an old priest who got tired of hearing confessions about adultery. One Sunday, he said, 'If I hear one more person confess to adultery, I'm quitting!' So the parishioners started using a code word: Instead of saying they'd committed adultery, they'd say they had 'fallen.' The system worked fine — until the priest passed away and a new one arrived. A week in, the new priest visited the mayor, very concerned, and said, 'You need to fix the sidewalks. People keep coming in saying they've fallen.' The mayor laughed, realizing the misunderstanding — but before he could explain, the priest said, 'I don't know why you're laughing. Your wife fell three times this week.'" "What did O say to Q? 'Hey, put that thing back into your trousers!'" "A ditz walks into a library and says, 'Hi! I'd like a hamburger, large fry, and a Coke.' The librarian replies, 'Ma'am…this is a library.' The ditz laughs and says, 'Oh I'm sorry! Silly me.' She then leans toward the librarian and whispers, 'I'd like to order a hamburger…a large fry…..and a Coke.'" "What is the best day to have a parade? March 4th." "A pirate walks into a bar. He has a huge steering wheel sticking out of his pants. He orders a beer. The bartender pours his beer, slides it over, and then just has to ask: 'Um sir, couldn't help but notice, but…are you aware that you have a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?' The pirate says, 'Aye, matey! I knows! And it's driving me nuts!'" "Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy calls 911 and gasps, 'My friend is dead! What can I do?' The operator says, 'Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.' There is a silence on the line, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, 'OK, now what?'" "It's really confusing when a sentence doesn't end the way you think it octopus." "Why is it terrible to be a penis? Because your nearest neighbor is an asshole, your two best friends are nuts, and you throw up when you get excited." "A man walks into a bar and pauses — at the far end, there's a guy with a big orange head, just sitting there, staring into his drink. He asks the bartender, 'Hey, what's up with the guy with the big orange head?' The bartender replies, 'It's a wild story. Buy him a drink, maybe he'll tell you.' So the man walks over, introduces himself, and offers to buy a round. The guy with the big orange head says, 'Yeah, I bet you want to hear the story, huh?' The man says, 'Sure, if you don't mind.'' "Why do gorillas have big nostrils? Because gorillas have big fingers." "The word 'Diputseromneve' may look ridiculous, but backwards it's even more stupid." "A woman goes to her boyfriend's parents' house for dinner — her first time meeting them, and she's very nervous. As they sit down to eat, the nerves and broccoli casserole start to hit. The gas pains are brutal. Trying to ease the pressure, she lets out a dainty little fart. Not loud, but definitely noticeable. Before she can panic, the boyfriend's dad glances at the dog lying under the table and says sternly, 'Skippy!'' "What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back to you? A stick." "An 85-year-old man was asked by his doctor for a sperm sample. The doctor handed him a jar and said, 'Take this home and bring back a sample tomorrow.' The next day, the man returned with the jar — still empty and spotless. The doctor asked what happened. The man said, 'Well, first I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then with her left, still nothing. She tried with her mouth, first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, still nothing. We even called up Arleen, the lady next door, and she tried, too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing.'" "A guy comes home early from his job at the pickle factory. His wife says, 'What the hell are you doing home at 1 in the afternoon?'" "A sister rushed over to her sister's home, clearly distraught. 'I'm sorry,' she said. 'Your beloved cat was run over and killed.' The other sister was shocked. 'How could you just blurt that out? No warning, no buildup — just, 'Your cat is dead'?" "Stanley the Snail walks into a car dealership and picks out a nice subcompact. During the sales negotiations, Stanley says, 'I want a giant "S" painted on the sides and hood of the car.' The puzzled salesperson asks, 'Why would you want giant S's painted on a brand new car? Is it because your name is Stanley?' Stanley replies, 'No. When I'm driving down the road, I want everyone to say 'Look at that S car go!'' "A married man is at the bar and accidentally spills his drink all over himself. He freaks out because his wife didn't want him to go to the bar, so his buddy tells him to go to the ATM and take out $20, then put it in his shirt pocket. If his wife asks about his shirt, tell her that someone spilled their drink on him and gave him $20 to get it cleaned." "Rocky was a little slow, but his mother's cousin's brother needed a favor, so county supervisor Bubba Joe hired him to paint the stripes on the road heading north out of town. Rocky was thrilled to have a real job and promised to work hard. On day one, Rocky painted two miles. 'Ya done real good, Rocky,' Bubba Joe said." "Why can't a bicycle stand on its own? Because it's two-tired." If you're still in the mood for more stupidly funny jokes, here's some from our own BuzzFeed Community: "A man walks into the therapist's office and says, 'I think I might be a dog.' The therapist offers him a seat, and the man responds, 'Oh I'm not allowed on the furniture.'" "My parrot recently died. Its last words were, 'Fuck, I think my parrot's about to die.'" "My favorite joke of all time: A man goes to the zoo, but there's only one animal there. The animal is a dog. It's a Shih Tzu." "An elephant walked up to a man on a nudist beach and asked, 'How do you eat with that?'" "Three old ladies sitting on a bench in the park. A completely naked man runs past them. Two of them had a stroke. One wasn't fast enough." "A lady goes to the doctor with a lettuce leaf sticking out of her knickers. The doctor says, 'Oh, this is a strange one.' ... The lady says, 'And that's just the tip of the iceberg.'' "Has your doctor talked to you about the benefits of adding dried fruit to your diet? I'm just raisin awareness." "What do you call a guy laying by the door? Matt. What do you call a guy hanging on the wall? Art. What do you call a guy floating in a pool? Bob. And my favorite: What do you call a guy with a seagull on his head? Cliff!" "What's the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer? The taste." "My friend Joe went on the Dolly Parton diet. It made Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe lean, Joe leeean." "A magician was walking down the street and turned into a drug store." "Two muffins are in the oven. One says to the other, 'Wow, it's hot in here!' The other muffin says, 'Hey, a talking muffin!'" Got a favorite stupid joke? Tell us in the comments or via the anonymous form below and it could be featured in a future BuzzFeed post!
