35 Mundane But Useful Items You'll Be Glad You Bought
A Finish dishwasher cleaner because yes, the thing that cleans your dishes also needs to be cleaned. 😩 But cheer up! 😀 It couldn't be easier to use — just place it upside down on the bottom rack of your dishwasher (make sure it's totally empty!!!), then run a cycle on the hottest setting. Ta-da! You'll have a sparkling clean dishwasher that looks as fresh as the day you moved in. A Bounce wrinkle release spray in a convenient travel size so you can take it with you on your next vacay. Seriously, who has time to iron while traveling?! There's also no telling if that dusty hotel iron is actually going to work. All you have to do is spray, tug the fabric a few times, then smooth the wrinkles away with your hand. It's also perfect for refreshing any clothes you plan to wear a few times during your trip, thanks to the fresh scent. A pack of duster sponges some reviewers say are even better than the often-sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster (also, why isn't it called the Dust Daddy?!) This is perfect for that annoying caked-on dust that a typical dry duster can't tackle — just dampen it, swipe, then rinse to reuse. An eight-compartment pill organizer so you can ditch the bulky bottles for something that's way easier to slip in your pocket. You'll also be the hero of your travel group when anybody has a sudden headache. A Frida Baby rinse cup that's on basically every parent's wishlist for making bath time an absolute breeze. The spout creates a gentle rainfall effect to help make the rinsing process less overwhelming for babies who are a bit suspicious of this whole H2O business. You can also use the other side for a slightly heavier "waterfall" pour that's still gentle enough for even the fussiest toddler. I'm gonna be honest with you, reader — this looks so relaxing I kind of want one for myself. A suede and leather brush to eliminate the scuffs, oil marks, dirt, and foot impressions that threaten to ruin all your cute warm-weather fits. It has four different sets of bristles so you can scrub as hard or as soft as you want, and it's designed to work by itself — no cleaning solution or soap required! A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so even your boo-boos will be super cute and match all the sundresses you bought for summer. Or! If you scrape your knee while gardening, these floral cuties will keep the happy vibes going. A next-level toothbrush your dentist will be so ridiculously proud of you for using. It has the standard bristles you'd expect from any toothbrush, but the game-changer is the extra-long bristles that are 10x thinner — meaning they can reach in between teeth and under the gum line to help sweep away food and residue. And an electric travel toothbrush that takes up way less space than the one your dentist is always trying to convince you to buy. You'll still get a nice vibrating effect and a helpful 2-minute timer, but it's about the same size as a normal toothbrush! A 3-in-1 wireless charger so you can power up your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time — no more wishing you had way more USB ports near your bed! The standout feature might just be the foldable design, meaning you can take it to the office with you so your noise-canceling AirPods never run out of juice. Imagine having to listen to your co-workers instead?! A jar opening tool that will be an absolute lifesaver when that jar of Ragu is holding on to the lid like its life depends on it (to be fair, it kind of does). It has four different slots to help open a variety of jar sizes, and there's even a helpful hook at the top to help with pull-tab cans when it's a Chef Boyardee kind of night. A pack of Neutrogena makeup remover towelettes, which will become your new travel staple since you can take the exact amount of makeup wipes you need instead of bringing an entire pouch or a bulky jar of cleaning balm. You can also bring one with you to refresh your skin while you're out and about running errands when the sun is blazing. A Pikk-it tool designed to remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. A set of Tide sink packs so you can easily hand-wash your clothes, meaning you can pack less and re-wear more on your next vacation! Simply fill your sink with warm water, add one sink pack, agitate and soak your items in the water, then rinse, dry, and be thankful for all the extra carry-on space. An absolutely genius device called a "Supoon" — this perfectly sized spoon not only helps you scrape every last bit of food from the container (think: peanut butter, yogurt, cream cheese, etc.) but also has a unique design that keeps it away from the countertop when you set it down! This is about to prevent SO many "babe, stop leaving your peanut butter spoon on the counter" arguments. Suction cup knobs that are about to completely change your bathroom storage game. The twist-and-lock design can easily adhere to glass, plastic, mirror, or porcelain surfaces — and it holds up to 15 pounds! You can also easily remove them and place them in a new area as many times as you want, so your loofah knobs can become your hand towel knobs with ease. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray — it's so effective that you'll remain suspiciously calm the next time your tot's chocolate milk makes its way from their sippy cup to the couch cushion. Or when your glass of merlot faces a similar fate. Just spray, blot, rinse, and pour another. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo that has reviewers feeling like they're the star of a Pantene commercial. Biotin can help provide a fuller appearance to your strands (hello volume!!!), while rosemary and coconut oil are known to moisturize the scalp (bye-bye, itchiness). You'll be ~toss, tossing~ your hair like Glinda in no time. 💁♀️ A pack of LeakLocks Toiletry Skins — they slip over the caps of your liquid toiletries to help prevent leaks! Genius! Imagine never worrying about your sunscreen exploding and making an absolute mess of your fave toiletry bag. A genius brush and squeegee combo so you can just swipe all your countertop messes directly into the sink. It even has a built-in ledge so you can hang it when not in use. A ridiculously helpful eyelash comb to solve one of the biggest beauty dilemmas: what do I do when my mascara clumps?! Put down the makeup wipes — this helpful little comb will remove the excess mascara and separate your lashes at the same time. It's also perfect if eyelash curlers make your lashes look smushed together. An on-the-go Gillette razor with a mini handle and carrying case that makes it an absolute breeze to pack in your carry-on. But you don't have to sacrifice quality for convenience — this has five blades for a close shave and moisturizing strips infused with avocado oil to keep your skin feeling silky smooth. A pack of antibacterial paper soap sheets that will seriously come in handy when the public restroom you're using is out of that mysterious pink sludge they call soap. Just pull out a sheet, wet it, then get to lathering. A storage strip to keep your brooms and mops off the floor and free up some much-needed space in your utility closet. It might even convince you to clean more, but no promises. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner that'll stop soap scum and residue from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray and walk away — your future self will be so grateful. A set of fridge bins to add some order to your chaotic mess of groceries. And because you'll be able to actually see all your food, you might just end up using that bag of lettuce before it goes bad. A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets that'll help remove stains and odors from any water bottles or coffee tumblers that you've left unwashed for an embarrassingly long time. It happens. Just fill your cup with warm water, drop the tablet in, and wait 15–30 minutes; rinse your cup, then get back to hydrating and/or caffeinating yourself. Over-the-door shelves for storing other smaller accessories that are scattered all over your home. Actually, you might want one of these for every door in your home. Many reviewers use it to store socks, undergarments, and other clothing items, though it's also perfect for kitchen pantries and linen closets! The beloved Hard as Hoof nourishing cream made with beeswax and jojoba oil to condition brittle nails and cuticles (on your fingers AND toes!) and have them looking as shiny and fresh as they did before that gel manicure did its damage. It's designed to sink in quickly (a rare feat in the world of cuticle oils) and it also smells like coconuts. I probably should have led with the coconut part. 🥥 🤤 A universal travel adapter you can use in over 160 countries — because nothing is more annoying than realizing you forgot to bring the right adapter. You can use it to charge up several devices at a time, so you can have your phone, power bank, laptop, and AirPods charging at once! A reusable gel lint roller that's a major upgrade from the traditional sticky rolls that require approximately 10 sheets just to clean one shirt. Just pop open the cover and roll it over any garments that need a good sprucing up, then give it a quick rinse, and it'll be ready to use again! A garbage disposal cleaner — it can tackle any food residue that's been lingering in there for far too long. It makes you realize adulthood is just learning about all the things you never realized you were supposed to be cleaning. A pack of space-saving compression bags that do not require a vacuum or pump!! Just place your bulky coats and sweaters inside and roll the bag up tightly to release the air and save some major space in your carry-on. A pair of handheld scrapers — they'll make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. It's gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, this won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces. A cult-favorite foot file that'll grind away at calluses and have your heels and toes looking silky smooth and ready to slip into your coziest socks. There are many foot files out there, but more than 85,000 Amazon reviewers say this one works like a charm.

35 Cleaning Products That Work So Well I Can't Wait For You To Try Them
1. A pack of duster sponges some reviewers say are even better than the often-sold-out Scrub Daddy Damp Duster (also, why isn't it called the Dust Daddy?!) This is perfect for that annoying caked-on dust that a typical dry duster can't tackle — just dampen it, swipe, then rinse to reuse. Promising review: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning it so easy that I actually don't mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" — Julia Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get four from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in six color packs and also in packs of two and eight). 2. A vacuum cleaner designed just for your car, because it's time to stop thinking to yourself, "I'll sweep these crumbs out eventually..." and actually get to cleaning. This plugs directly into your 12V outlet and comes with three attachments so you can clean everything from the floor mats to the scary cracks in between the seats. Kit includes: three attachments (flathead, extendable, and brush), carry bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Promising review: "I am a woman who loves a clean car, but with this virus, I can't take my car in to have it cleaned anymore, so now it's up to me, and I hate to clean the inside of my car. I hate taking my large vacuum out to the car, pulling it this way and that, just trying to do a good job. When I came across this wonderful little vacuum, I ordered it. I love it. First it is little and light, but don't let that fool you. It cleans my car in no time, and with that 16-foot cable, I could also clean my trunk without a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong, I still don't like to clean my car, but I don't hate it anymore. It does a wonderful job." — Coco Get it from Amazon for $36+ (available in two colors and with or without a cord). 3. An oil stain remover — I am extremely pleased to inform you that those greasy marks are no longer a permanent part of your life! All you have to do is stir it up, apply a thick layer of paste, let it dry for 48-72 hours, then scrape it away and marvel at your stain-free surface! It works on marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, grout (for ceramic and porcelain tile), masonry, and concrete — and it won't discolor the surface of the stone even one bit! Promising review:"I had an oil stain on my untreated West Elm marble top buffet from a kid's toy. I purchased the oil stain remover and crossed my fingers that it would work. Followed the directions, waited 72 hrs to let it dry completely, and then scraped it off with a credit card. It worked perfectly! I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend this product!" — parkhaven916 Get a can of it on Amazon for $9.99. 4. An automatic makeup brush cleaner that makes the process SO ridiculously easy. Just fill it with some makeup brush shampoo (reviewers love this one from EcoTools), place the bristles into the bowl, then power it on! The silicone bowl will spin and scrub away all the oil and makeup residue that's been hiding in your brushes for the past few weeks. Just make sure you have an outlet and USB charging block nearby! Promising review: "I used to hate cleaning my makeup brushes because it was tedious and I was never able to get a thorough cleaning. This product changed that; cleaning my brushes has never been easier!!! The size is small enough to travel with, and I like that it is powered by a USB port, so you don't always need a wall outlet. This product is an easy clean with its silicone bowl, and it gives my brushes the thorough, deep clean they need in under 5 minutes. I highly recommend this item!!!! You will thank yourself!" — Analisa Gomez Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in three colors). 5. A cleaning spray specifically designed for use on painted walls — so you won't have to worry about accidentally rubbing away the perfect shade of eggshell white you spent weeks deciding on. If you have soot stains in your room from burning too many candles or built-up grease on your kitchen walls, this spray will tackle it with ease. Pair it with an extendable wall mop for an even easier clean. Promising review:"I usually don't do reviews, but I had to make an exception. This product works like magic! Sprayed it on a door to test it, and the schmutz just wiped off! I used to scrub and scrub, but this stuff is a miracle!" — Jill M Get it from Amazon for $20.97+ (available in eight scents) 6. A crevice cleaning tool reviewers are raving over thanks to its comfortable nonslip handle and elongated bristles that are perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, like window tracks, keyboards, toilet seats, grout, and the very scary nastiness that's lurking around your faucet. Promising review: "I bought these brushes thinking they might be handy, but they turned out to be amazing! I can clean places that are practically impossible to reach with anything else. The bristles are thin yet sturdy, allowing them to fit into tight spaces and do the job perfectly. Definitely a great buy!" — Homa Get a pack of three from Amazon for $8.99 (available in 14 colors and larger pack sizes). 7. A pair of handheld scrapers that will make your cast iron pans look as good as the day you bought them. They're gentle enough to use on nonstick surfaces, and unlike a sponge, they won't trap a bunch of food particles that are hard to rinse out. Now you can spend less time cleaning and more time whipping up culinary masterpieces. Promising review:"Necessary tool to clean your cast iron pots and pans. Perfectly contoured to the rounded corners used by Lodge in their pans, so you'll get any food stuck to your pan off easily. The plastic is sturdy and malleable but not so much that it will deform. Been using them for a couple months now, and I haven't had them break. And since I still can't get a properly seasoned coating on my pans, I have a lot of food that sticks (my fault), but these scrapers get pretty much everything off easily." — JGtz Get a two-pack from Amazon for $6.95. 8. An Iron Out rust stain remover in a ridiculously easy-to-use gel formula that looks that looks those annoying orange stains right in the eye and says, "bring. it. on." Oh, and it does so with no scrubbing required: just spray, leave it on for a few seconds so it can activate its rust-dissolving magic, then rinse away! Promising review:"My new BFFL. Guys. I hate cleaning, so anytime I find a product that makes it easier and faster, I'm in! This stuff works wonders. My sink had rust stains that I just couldn't get out, so I did what anyone would do... I walked away and pretended it didn't exist. But now, I spray this on, walk away, and come back to a rust-free sink. This stuff... Stop reading reviews and just buy it. You can thank us all later." — Laurane Petrarca Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in packs of three and six in two sizes). 9. A Pikk-it tool that'll remove the tangled hair/fur that's lodged in your vacuum's roller brush (which is making it WAY less effective btw). You can also use it to spruce up your hairbrushes, so this is basically stray hair's worst enemy. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 10. A pumice cleaning stone to break down all of the nastiness in your toilet and have it looking sparkly and presentable when you have last-minute guests over. Just wet it with water, get to scrubbing, then store it in the included carrying case until your next deep-cleaning session! Promising review:"I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time that regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove. I decided to try this pumice stone, figuring that the worst that could happen would be that it scratched the porcelain, and I'd have to replace the toilet. Which was what I would have had to do anyway if I couldn't get the disgusting stains out. The pumice stone worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease, but 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching. I am very happy with this worth the very low price!" — Happy Retiree Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in packs of two and four). 11. Or!!! A jar of toilet fizzies — which are basically like bath bombs for your toilet. Simply plop one in the bowl and let the blend of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid break down stains and kill any lingering bacteria. Oh, and they're also loaded with eucalyptus essential oil to make your porcelain throne smell like a fancy spa. Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" — kd Bromley Happy Earth Boutique is a woman-owned small business making healthier alternatives for your health and home. Get it from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $13.99. 12. A fume-free Easy-Off oven cleaner so you can finally scrub away the burnt tomato sauce left behind after the last time you attempted to make lasagna. It can also clean your oven door, broiler plates, and stainless steel surfaces — just spray and wipe away. Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven, and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances, and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow." As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon, and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens Get it from Amazon for $8.98. 13. A no-scrub Wet & Forget weekly shower cleaner that's every lazy cleaner's biggest dream come true: there's literally zero scrubbing required. It'll stop soap scum and residue from forming before they have a chance to take over your entire tub. Just spray, walk away, and rinse 8-12 hours later — your future self will be so grateful. There's no bleach or ammonia, so no need to worry about any scent-induced headaches. Promising review:"I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn't lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I'll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I'll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it's a worthy cleaning staple in my house." — Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 14. A tub of magical heavy-duty all-purpose cleaning wipes — they can remove everything from grease to ink stains almost instantly and with zero water required. They're made with aloe and vitamin E, so they're gentle on your skin but still tough enough to remove permanent markers, adhesive residue, and more. These wipes are non-abrasive, so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors, vinyl, baseboards, and more. Promising review:"I have a small kitchen, and everything tends to get an oily, greasy film on it very quickly. I don't have a tile backsplash or a range hood, and my fridge is right next to my stove, so the paint on the wall and the textured fridge get pretty disgusting. The tiniest little oil splatter seems to cover my whole kitchen. When these wipes arrived yesterday, I attacked my kitchen with them. They worked amazingly well! I didn't realize how much grease was really sticking to everything until I saw how disgusting the wipes were getting. Luckily, they're huge, so I was able to cover a lot before I needed a new one. I have very sensitive skin, and these didn't dry my hands out at all. I also get severe migraines, which are easily triggered by chemical smells, and these have a nice, lemony scent that didn't trigger me at all. 10 stars!" — Michele West Get a 90-pack from Amazon for $14.98. 15. A powerful spray to break down stubborn mold and mildew stains that seem to accumulate overnight. Just leave it on for about 15 seconds, then wipe away to reveal what your shower is actually supposed to look like. Promising review:"Hi. So, like everyone else, I'm skeptical of products even with decent reviews. But I was looking for something to clean a small walk-in shower that was getting a little bit of mildew and whatever, so I gave this stuff a shot. It arrived this morning, and I immediately sprayed a little bit on the part with the biggest problem. I didn't have much hope, but I thought it might work a little bit; literally, 12 minutes later, it was gone. I was absolutely amazed. I sprayed the rest of the shower, and it's literally gone. I didn't scrub a thing, although if you wanted to a little bit for tight corners or small spaces in between grout, I'm sure it would clean right up. I've got to tell you, I've shot infomercials for over 25 years. A lot of the products we shoot are crap. This product deserves an infomercial, and frankly, I would do it on live TV. Because it really works." — Brook B. Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes and a two-pack). 16. Or a mold and mildew stain remover in a squeezable gel formula that can cling onto awkward vertical and inclined surfaces where a spray would almost immediately drip off. Just squeeze, walk away, then give it a quick rinse in the morning to reveal some jaw-dropping results. Promising review:"The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this and within one application it is bright, shiny, white again! If this hadn't worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them." — Planetary Drive Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 17. A hard-water stain remover if your shower is so nasty you barely even feel clean after using it. From hard water buildup to limescale and rust, this minty-fresh cleaner can bring tubs and shower doors back to life in just a few minutes. Promising review: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" — Laura Promising review: "Wow. Don't waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I've literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I've scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It's kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I'm in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer; I'm mad I'm just now finding this stuff, lol!" — _kayla_carter Get it from Amazon for $17.77. 18. A wood polish to bring some life back to your dingy cabinets. If you have cabinets over your stove, trust me, they're probably due for a good deep cleaning. It's made without beeswax and orange oils, meaning it won't leave behind a sticky residue when you wipe it away. Promising review:"Finally! A product that does not leave a sticky film on my furniture. I love this product. It rubs in easily and buffs to a natural shine. The wood is left looking healthy and with a natural glow, not a heavy fake glossy polish. And best of all, there is no residue. The smell is pleasant and dissipates quickly. Which is a huge plus for me because I am super sensitive to perfumes." — Quinn Perkins Therapy Clean is a small business specializing in plant-powered cleaning products. Get a bottle and microfiber cloth from Amazon for $19.95. 19. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that's perfect for restoring your couch back to its former glory or making your car's seats look presentable again. Reviewers especially love this one (it's a constant best-seller on Amazon with 139,000 perfect ratings) since it only takes a few rolls back and forth to pick up the toughest pet hair, and the quick-release button makes it a breeze to remove the fur from the roller brush. Promising review:"I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying. My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs...) in the little compartment. Pop it open, empty it out. Done." — Ian K. Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). 20. A cleaning kit to make your ceramic cooktop look as shiny and flawless as the day you moved in — I mean, it is the star of the kitchen, after all! Start by chipping away caked-on food with the included scraper, apply a layer of the cleaning solution, rub away stains with the included pad, then wipe away with a paper towel or cloth to reveal the jaw-dropping results. The kit comes with a bottle of cleaner, a cleaning pad, and a heavy-duty scraper that are all designed to break down burnt-on foods and tough stains. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months, and I assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this, it looks like my stove could be brand-new." — Christi Get it from Amazon for $11.48. 21. Or! A gas range cleaning spray — it takes just seconds to cut through grime and grease and eliminate any evidence that your roommates are total slobs. Now, I'm just projecting. Just spray it on and wipe away — or leave it on for 30 minutes if you're dealing with caked-on nastiness. This stuff is THE TRUTH. My roommate is the best, but let's just say wiping down the stove after cooking is not one of her favorite activities. I'm not particularly fond of doing the dishes, so I guess we're even. Anyways, I spray this on a few times a week, let it sit for about five minutes, then wipe with a cloth and it removes EVERYTHING. Like, every little spot of caked-on grease and burnt crumbs come off with just one wipe. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $17.98. 22. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which has become so TikTok-famous it's racked up 153,000 positive ratings. It'll completely revitalize your sink, bathtub, and neglected ovens with the help of a little elbow grease. This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water. Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available with a scrubbing sponge). 23. A flexible coil lint and dust brush so you can finally reach all the dust in your dryer vent (built-up lint is a fire hazard, btw!) and the crumbs that are hiding underneath your oven and fridge. I'm shuddering just thinking about what's living under there. The full length of the brush with handle is 27.5 inches, while the actual brush itself is 13.5 inches. Promising review:"I use one in the dryer filter area and one under the refrigerator. They get dust I can't get any other way. I gave five stars for durability even though I've had them for only a short time. They feel sturdy to last long enough for me." — ASF Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99 (also available individually and in a three-pack). 24. A spin scrubber that'll tackle everything from nasty bathtubs to greasy ovens, and you'll barely have to lift a finger. It comes with seven different brush heads so you can scrub away in basically every nook and cranny, and the pole extends to 45 inches long so you can wave goodbye to bending over to reach the baseboards or standing on the edge of the tub to clean the shower walls. Promising review:"The cordless design adds a level of convenience that I didn't know I needed. It allows me to move freely without being tethered to an outlet, making it easy to clean hard-to-reach areas. The battery life is impressive, providing ample time to complete my cleaning tasks on a single charge. Another aspect I love is the ergonomic design. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the lightweight construction ensures that my arm doesn't get tired, even during extended cleaning sessions. The different brush heads are easy to swap out and clean, adding to the overall user-friendly experience." — K.L.P. Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in nine colors). 25. A Swiffer-style cleaner specifically designed to fit in all the grooves in your baseboards because, honestly, when was the last time you actually cleaned them? It may seem like a time-consuming task, but the four-foot handle makes it a breeze to reach the baseboards without even bending over. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." — retired Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 26. Swiffer's upgraded Power Mop that sprays the perfect amount of cleaning solution at the simple touch of a button. Unlike regular Swiffer pads, the Power Mop's pads have hundreds of scrubbing strips to help break down any dried-up dirt and mud your visitors may have tracked in. The set comes with one bottle of solution, two mopping pads, and two AA batteries. Promising review:"Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when it needs to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle and a spray will shoot out directed at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first & squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $29.94. 27. A granite and stone cleaner — not only will it have your countertops looking ready for the pages of Architectural Digest, but it also kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in just a few swipes. It's basically a must-have for any last-minute dinner parties. Promising review:"This is my go-to granite cleaner, and I've tried a lot! Actually gets counters clean without a film or streak and not a lot of elbow grease." — Lori Get it from Amazon for $6.49+ (available in two sizes and a pack of six). 28. A pack of cleaning erasers that only need water to remove stains — they're more affordable than name brands but magic, if you catch my drift. These little melamine sponges can quickly lift away tough stains, grease, soap scum, and anything else that your typical all-purpose cleaner just isn't tackling. All you gotta do is wet and swipe! Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker, and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house, and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenally on the whites of shoes that look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" — TShepp Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a pack of 100). 29. A garbage disposal cleaner — it can tackle any food residue that's been lingering in there for far too long and causing that mysterious ~stank~ in your kitchen. It makes you realize adulthood is just learning about all the things you never realized you were supposed to be cleaning. Amazon, Start by making sure your disposer is turned off; run a hot stream of water (not directly into the disposer) for one minute, then reduce the stream to a small trickle. Insert one of the cleaning bags into the turned-off disposer with the small stream of water still flowing, turn on the disposer, then turn off the disposer once the blue foam disappears after 1-2 minutes, and give the sink a quick rinse. Promising review:"Seeing is believing. Not only does it do a great job, but you can see it happening. It doesn't just mask the smell and leave a lemon scent like some products; it cleans, too, and looks fun. Idk. Blue foam comes out, and that's good enough for me." — sylvie yah Get a two-pack of four-count bags (eight bags total) from Amazon for $7.56 (also available in a pack of 16 and 24). 30. A grout cleaning kit to loosen up all the dirt in between your tiles, because a sparkly clean floor can go a long way in revitalizing your kitchen. The kit comes with two bottles of Grout-Eez and a scrubber you can attach to a standard mop or broom pole. Promising review:"This is an excellent product. I have tried several grout cleaners over the past 15 years since the majority of our flooring has been ceramic tile. This product surpassed all of them. In fact, nothing has ever worked this quickly. The three best features included (1) the instructions on both the bottle and with the product were clear, and I followed them to a tee, (2) the perfect brush that came with it that fit perfectly into my grout lines and was easy to attach to an existing handle and (3) how easily the soil was removed from the grout. I would recommend using this around one tile first and definitely wait 10 minutes, then wiggle the brush in the grout lines. The soil comes up quickly." — Karen Cleen-eez is a small business specializing in cleaning solutions for multiple common surfaces. Get a set from Amazon for $39.95. 31. A pack of cleaning tablets that'll clean your dishwasher for you because it's probably way dirtier than you imagine. These tablets will break down lime and mineral buildup in the main compartment, internal pumps, and the pump and valve — so your dishes will come out looking as sparkly as they do in all those dish soap commercials. You can place one in the detergent tray and run a normal cycle. An additional tablet can be added to the bottom of the dishwasher for a deeper clean. You can also use it while cleaning dishes by placing a tablet in the bottom of your dishwasher when running a normal cycle. Promising review:"I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale, and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times, our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine china, and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this; you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" — Jenny Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 32. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods to get all the dirt and grime out of your trusty coffee companion. Simply place it in your Keurig like a typical K-Cup, brew on the largest cup size, remove the cleaning pod, and then brew another round of hot water to rinse. You'll feel like you just invested in a brand new Keurig without dropping all that extra cash. Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, luckily. I would highly recommend; keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95 (the six-count box is also available in packs of two and three). 33. A cleaning putty so you can get the dust and debris out of every nook and cranny in your car — from the crevices of your air-conditioning vent to the random spots in between your seats. This Flubber-like cleaner has impressed over 41,000 reviewers. Promising review:"WOW!!! This stuff is incredible! I work in an environment that is very dirty, and our office is always covered in a fine layer of dust. But just a few minutes spent mashing this slime into all the cracks and crevices of my keyboard, mouse, phone, etc., and it's all clean as can be! This stuff picks up dirt on contact and leaves behind a clean, no smell, no residue surface. I bought a second jar for my vehicle and it works miracles in there as well. My air vents, shifter, and seats are now spotless. I couldn't be happier with this product." — Jenna75 Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three colors). 34. A bottle of Hope's Perfect sink cleaner and polish to make any stainless steel, cast-iron, porcelain, or acrylic appliance as shiny as the day you got it. Just apply with a soft cloth or sponge, then rinse away with soapy water! Promising review:"Every once in a while you stumble on a product on Amazon that you buy on a whim because of the good reviews. When you actually receive the product and use it, you can't believe how good it really is. This is definitely one of those products. Truth be told, the stainless steel sink in my house is 14 years old. While we have cleaned the sink thoroughly every two weeks since we moved in, we have never polished it or used a product such as this one. The first time I applied it to the sink, we could tell that there was an amazing difference. In fact, the sink sparkled so brightly from the overhead kitchen can lights, it really was too bright to view! You can tell that this product is 'doing its job' because a black film comes off of the stainless steel after you clean it." — From Wyoming to California via NYC Hope's is a small business known for their "Perfect" line of cleaning products for various household surfaces. Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes and various pack sizes). 35. A screen-cleaning brush, because what good is a window if you can't even see out of it?! If your windows need a good deep cleaning, you can wet this with soap and water to break down stubborn grime. Then use it dry once you see any dirt start to accumulate. Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." — BonjourBeautyByAmy Get it from Amazon for $17.99. Reviews here have been edited for length and/or clarity.
