Read More If you’re gonna spend money on cleaning supplies, you might as well get the stuff that does the hard work for you. One end has a squeegee, so after you scrub down the shower glass with the sponge, you can flip it over to wipe away any streakiness. You only need to buy the handle once, and you can use any Magic Erasers for refills, as long as they have the wavy edges. Get eight refills in a lavender scent or twelve unscented extra durable for $12.94+. Promising reviews: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne Get a device and two refills from Amazon for $12.94 (available in different sizes). Promising reviews: "This is fantastic for cleaning the narrow space between where the metal sliding door track meets the plastic edge of the shower. Normally, I'd use an old toothbrush and cotton swab, but this is way better. It is decent quality and comfortable to hold while digging into the corners and scrubbing. The pointy end is great for putting a paper towel into the deep corners to dry or get gunk out." —Bonzarelli "Slim brush and flat end fit perfectly into window and door grooves. Makes a 'yucky' job quick and easy." —AJ Get a pack of two from Amazon for $4.99 (available in three pack sizes and five color combos). Promising reviews: "Struggled to clean screens. This does a fast, easy sweep and you literally see the dust and dirt flying off!" —BettyBoop1 "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! and works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small mtr home screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah, where the red dirt/dust is everywhere, and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen. I definitely recommend this product and seller." —KarenLynn Promising review: "I am blown away!! I’ve lived in this house for almost eight years, and I have been fighting with the toilets and keeping them clean. I literally have had to clean them twice a week to keep them looking presentable. I have tried pretty much everything. I didn’t want anything that would ruin the inside of my tank or mess with the septic system, so I avoided drop-ins with bleach but knew that was what was needed. So I found these, and I kid you not, I’ve gone a week and a half without having to super-scrub my toilets. I am beyond thrilled! I like a clean toilet, and this is the way to go." —Carol Neves Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. I have a cat and a dog, and an almost-white couch, so this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." —Amazon Customer "Everything I hoped it would be. Perfect portable carpet cleaner for everyday jobs. Our elderly cat started having accidents, and this is the perfect solution for fast, easy, and effective cleanup. Can't believe I've gone this long without it." —Laurie F. Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in two colors and three styles). BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $11.68. This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes. Promising review: "If you are not sure, buy it, totally worth it! This thing is incredible! Does just what it says, cleared my tub drain in five minutes without chemicals. Been buying them for years and will continue to do so. And P.S., it is just as easy as it says!!" —Moonchild Promising reviews: "Miracle product! This sponge is a miracle worker! I am especially impressed by how it cleans things you would be afraid to touch with an abrasive pad. I cleaned my glass stove top by lightly rubbing the stuck-on food with a sponge. I applied NO pressure, and it did the job without leaving and scratches on the glass. It also seems extremely durable. Highly recommend." —bc "This is a game changer! Takes off burnt-on spots on my electric glass-top stove with minimal effort. I use it with a little dish soap, and my stove is spotless. Works great inside the oven and on the oven grates." —Suzanne Soden Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two thicknesses and two colors). Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Britt Ross tried The Pink Stuff and says: "Upon moving to a new house, I discovered I'd inherited some not-so-well-maintained white bathroom tile, with white grout to match. At least, the grout had been white at one point. Woof. After having heard nothing but raves about The Pink Stuff, I decided to see how well it would work on what has probably been my most trying cleaning task to date. Well, I'm happy to report that after a bit of light scrubbing, The Pink Stuff lifted most of the muck off the grout, revealing a much lighter surface underneath. While I think it might take a few more applications for the grout to *dazzle,* I'm super impressed by the difference I was able to see right away, and with not very much elbow grease to boot. I mean, it is white grout, so if it was able to work wonders on that, I can't wait to see what it does for my crusty pots and pans!" Promising review: "What can I say? I love this product. My daughter drew a happy face in the bathtub (with permanent marker). I tried removing it with everything I could think of, but nothing worked. With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer 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 how much scrubbing we do with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda, would NOT come clean. After my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and the 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 to use it as part of our weekly cleanup routine, in addition to purchasing Wet and Forget Mold and Mildew Remover for the vinyl siding of our house. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and a two-pack). Promising review: "Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without much effort; it just needs to be balanced properly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because the dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." —DonnaMarie113 Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven colors). Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review: "This makes cleaning out the microwave so easy. Even if I put it off too long and it's really gross in there, a few minutes of mama working in the microwave and I can literally just wipe it out with no effort." —Katy H Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: As a pet owner with dogs who shed heavily, I’ve tried many products to manage the never-ending fur, but the FURemover Original Pet Hair Rubber Broom with Squeegee has truly exceeded my expectations. This is hands down the best tool I’ve found for removing pet hair from my home and car! The rubber bristles are a game changer — they easily grab and lift pet hair from carpet, furniture, and car seats, making the process fast and efficient. Unlike other tools I’ve used, the rubber bristles don’t push the hair around; they pull it in and make cleaning so much easier. The squeegee function is a bonus for cleaning up messes, whether it’s pet hair or even liquids. It does it all. The 58-inch telescopic handle is a standout feature. It’s easy to adjust, so I can reach under furniture and into the back of my car without straining my back or arms. I’ve used it both indoors and outdoors, and it works equally well in both environments. I’ve also found that the broom doesn’t damage surfaces like some of the harsher tools I’ve used in the past." —Trachy Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this. This thing literally scoured away hard-water stains that I have been trying to get rid of for years in less than 30 seconds. 10/10 recommend." —Tleary125 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in multipacks). Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in 12-, 36-, or 78-packs). Promising review: "This product works like absolute magic — I am genuinely blown away by the results! "I had been noticing a musty, unpleasant odor coming from my dishwasher for a while and could see limescale buildup and mineral deposits around the door and spray arms. I had tried wiping it down and running hot cycles, but nothing really worked. Then I tried Affresh, and the difference after just one cycle was remarkable."The tablet dissolves completely during the wash cycle, foaming up and getting into all the hard-to-reach areas, crevices, and the drain. After the cycle finished, I opened the dishwasher and was immediately hit with a clean, fresh smell — the odor was completely gone. The interior walls, door seal, and spray arms looked noticeably cleaner, and the limescale deposits had visibly reduced."What I love most is how effortless it is. No scrubbing, no disassembling parts, no harsh chemicals to handle. Just drop the tablet in the bottom of the empty dishwasher, run a normal cycle, and you are done. It genuinely does all the work for you."I now run one Affresh tablet once a month as part of my regular kitchen maintenance routine, and my dishwasher has never smelled or performed better. My dishes even come out cleaner and more spot-free since the spray arms and interior are now clear of buildup."If you have been ignoring your dishwasher's cleanliness, do yourself a favor and try this. It truly works like magic — highly recommend!" —Kailash Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.43 (also available as a pack of 12). Promising reviews: "We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." —Steve Fadelli "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before-and-after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true: you really do have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and one other style). Promising reviews: "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 them so easy that I actually don’t mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" —Julia "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 it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five color packs). Promising review: "This first caught my eye when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then I found out it actually helps sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why, but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver, as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I no longer have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes! It also makes a great and cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn The duster comes with five microfiber cloths. Promising review: "OK, I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured, why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option, but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper Get a brush with five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "I call this my 'lazy duster' because it makes it easy to just walk around and dust those pesky baseboards. It's easy to change the pads and wash them. Get this if you want to be a lazy duster, too." —Kindle Customer Promising review: "This multi-purpose shower brush works great for daily cleaning. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the bristles are firm enough to scrub well without scratching surfaces. I’ve used it on tiles, the bathtub, and even hard-to-reach corners, and it makes cleaning much easier. It feels durable and lightweight at the same time. Definitely a useful tool to keep the bathroom looking clean with less effort." —Karen Ramos Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 3 sizes and colors). Promising review: "Only within a couple of seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." —Sirena The hands-free cleaning cycle runs 20 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, moving their waste to a leak-proof, odor-controlled, and disposable tray underneath. Also grab a bag of scoop-free crystal litter and a tray refill. Promising reviews: "This litter box is a must for any busy family that struggles to keep up with the daily maintenance of having a cat and a litter box! It works well, and my cat is always so happy having a clean litter box." —Kelsey Decker "I rarely write product reviews, but this litter box actually made a huge difference for my house! I have had a cat for about 10 years who decides to do the number 2 about two feet outside the litter box. He has ALWAYS done this, no matter what type of litter or box he's using. I even asked my vet about it, and his response was, "Some cats are just jerks." 😂 Then I got this litter box. For the first time EVER, he does ALL of his business in the box! And there is no odor at all!! I love it so much, I have two. Would highly recommend!!" —Emily Stokes Get it from Amazon for $199+ (available in two styles). Promising review: "This is Dawn, but about 50 times stronger! I used to dread cleaning pots and pans, but Dawn Platinum Powerwash makes that chore a lot quicker and gets the pots and pans cleaner. Note: You get the original spray bottle plus three refills, so when you run out of the product in the bottle, it’s no problem. I would highly recommend this cleaning powerhouse! I don’t think there is anything else on the market even close to what this does." —Phoenix Tyler Get a spray bottle and a refill from Amazon for $8.44 (available in three sizes). 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 Oh Yuk is a family-owned company based in Minnesota that's been making home cleaning products since 2011. Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often and always get grossed out if I don’t. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! The first photo (above) is with my tub running with the solution. Then I drained it (second photo) and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub and reran the jets, I kid you not, the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! See for yourself in the last photo! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "Even though I drink filtered water, I still have bottles that smell after a lot of use and cleaning. I love this bottle because it automatically cleans itself every few hours. If I have questionable water, I can also use that mode. It smells great inside, the water tastes very good, and it stays very cold." —amazongroupie Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in two sizes and five colors). Promising reviews: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked, there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos "I used this for black mold on bathroom grout, and it works 100%. I got an electric scrubber and tried to scrub the black mold, but it won't come off the grout. But when I used this product and left it overnight, the black mold was gone the next day without scrubbing. I am amazed!!! Definitely recommend this product. I've bought two bottles already." —GCNJ Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and in one- or two-pack options). Promising review: "If you have ANY build-up, this will cut right through it and make your glass shine. After use, anytime I want to clean my glass, I’ll do a quick wipe down and use my squeegee. Leave a beautiful, clean shine behind. This is a must. What I really loved was that no heavy-duty scrubbing was needed." —Alexis Get a pack of two from Amazon for $15.61. Broombi is a small business that specializes in household cleaning and pet hair-removing products. Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable and stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). * Keeping Your Kitchen Clean Will Be Easy With These 27 Products * Keep Your Bathroom Clean And Organized With These 27 Things * Calling All Lazy Neat Freaks – These 59 Items Will Make Keeping A Tidy Home 10x Easier BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
