42 Products That’ll Help You Get Everything On Your List Done So You Can Just Lay Around For A Few Hours
Because scrolling TikTok and rotting on the couch is what you live for.
1. A tub of The Pink Stuff which can clean anything you throw at it, be that pots and pans, stove tops, showers, or your 5-year-old’s crayon wall mural because you took too long to go outside and play chalk with them so they took a few liberties with their canvas.
Check it out on TikTok!
And here’s what BuzzFeeder/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say:
“After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can’t wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.”
Promising review: “For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built-up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn’t noticed, which had probably been there for years. I’ve tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn’t work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy I started cleaning other items: the stainless sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50 I’ll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.” —RVT
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
2. A pack of K-Cup cleaning pods that are basically like a full-body tune-up for your coffee maker. Just look at the nasty stuff it flushes out!
PS: Quick & Clean is a small biz!
Promising review: “My Keurig had started to sputter and trying to get 10oz out of it was becoming impossible. I was having to run water through it before every cup just to get a full cup. I got these and used them immediately. What a difference!!!! My Keurig is like I just took it out of the box. I cannot recommend these enough.” —Roger
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95.
3. A Wet & Forget weekly cleaner you can spritz on your shower walls and tub after you’re done cleaning yourself. Leave it on overnight — no scrubbing necessary — and just wash it off the next time you’re in the shower!
Promising review: “This may be the best thing I have ever bought off of Amazon. And I buy quite a bit. Long story short, the tub in my kids’ bathroom was atrocious due to spotty cleaning and hard water. I bought this with a heavy dose of skepticism, even though the reviews were mighty impressive. On the back of the bottle, it says that you may need several daily applications before your tub is clean, and then you can switch to a weekly application. I’m on day three, and let me say, even if this stuff worked no further, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The shower looks close to new. A couple of more days and I’ll be able to switch to weekly!.” —Tee
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents).
4. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller deeply beloved by pet owners. It’s like a sticky lint roller, but specifically designed to pick up pet hair and not only lock it in, but stash it inside the roller itself, so you don’t end up making matters worse by just spreading the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
Promising review: “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 do really 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 $27.99.
5. And a fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated — you know, like those brooms in Fantasia — it would transform into a Pekingese.
Promising review: “I don’t know how I’ve lived this long without this tool. I used this on my carpeted areas and was shocked at the amount of dog hair within my carpet. I have a German Shepherd and a Dyson vacuum; I thought I was covered. Then, I purchased this little gem and, to my surprise, there is a LOT of dog hair in my carpet. I kinda ‘rake’ my carpet before vacuuming now and it finds all kinds of embedded hair in my carpet and brings it up in tufts. Works wonderfully! Just buy it because you won’t regret it. It’s fairly inexpensive, and so, so worth it. Highly recommend.” —Karen
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
6. A slide-away storage bag that makes post-playtime cleanup SO MUCH EASIER. Just scoop up all of your little’s toys, throw them on the mat, and use the drawstring to dump them all in the basket.
Watch one parent’s demo on TikTok.
Promising review: “This is absolutely genius! This is the best product to hold your kids’ Legos! Any bigger and the bag would be too heavy to carry. I don’t understand what other reviews are saying about not having the top close, yes the top doesn’t zip but there is a zipper tucked nicely inside the bag so if it does fall over nothing comes out. Looks very nice in a bedroom, doesn’t look like a toy bin.” —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $56.99+ (available in four colors).
7. A tiny but mighty bottle of all-purpose cleaning spray if you identify with descriptors like “clumsy,” “uncoordinated,” and — my fave — “ham-handed.” Whether you dropped a bowl of spaghetti on your white couch or squirted foundation all over your shirt instead of your face, this stuff can work wonders.
Check out a TikTok of the “Emergency Stain Rescue” in action.
The Hate Stains Co. is a small business that specializes in fast, powerful, and nontoxic stain-removing products.
Promising review: “This stain remover gets out most stains and is absolutely amazing! Moms of toddlers should buy several bottles of this stuff! I have found that the sooner I spray the clothes to treat the stain with this the better the outcome!” —kendall
Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (also available in packs of two or three, and with on-the-go wipes).
8. A sink and drain plunger 10 (TEN!) times more effective than a traditional plunger! If your sink is always backed up and thus covered in gunk, this gadget can clear it of hair, soap scum, and whatever other evil substances are at work down there.
Reviewers mention this was faster and more effective than one-time use drain snakes and chemical cleaners!
Promising review: “I couldn’t believe I wasted my time with those liquid drain clearers. This was fast and efficient, and I only wish I had thought of a product like this sooner. Cleaned my bathroom sink in two seconds!” —Sn48
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sizes).
9. A pouch of foaming garbage disposal cleaner to eliminate the special stank that can only be produced after years of shredding up meat, produce, and whatever that mystery blob was that came out of your long-lost Tupperware.
Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.
Promising review: “This disposal cleaner works like a charm. Gets rid of the nasty smell and cleans well. I know it’s doing a great job cleaning because I can see the blue foam in both my sink drains during usage. I let the blue foam sit in the sink drains for 5 or 10 minutes before rinsing it. I just prefer to do that because I feel it makes the cleaner more effective. After doing so, I just rinse the sink and disposal with fresh hot water and everything (including my stainless steel sink) looks and smells great!! I highly recommend it and will continue to use and buy as needed!!☆☆☆☆☆” —Natalie
Get it from Amazon for $3.22+ (available in packs of one, two, or six).
10. A powerful rust remover that can banish stains from just about any surface — think showers, sinks, tubs, toilets, concrete floors, and even colorfast carpets — with zero scrubbing involved.
Promising review: “I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands down. I just sprayed, walked away for a few minutes, and wiped and rinsed.” —Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

11. Some FryAway — a magical substance you sprinkle on used oil to turn it into a solid so you can safely dispose of it. No clogging your whole neighborhood’s pipes after chicken cutlet night!
FryAway is a small biz you might have seen on Shark Tank!
Promising review: “This is a genius product! Figuring out what to do with used cooking oil was always tough. I hated throwing it away, but it would melt my compost bags. All you have to do is stir it into your hot used oil then let it cool. Voila! It becomes a solid gelatin blob that easily goes into the countertop compost bin. And don’t worry; it’s okay to put it in your compost. Love this product! Will use it again and again!” —LN
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
12. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that — once filled with water and a dash of vinegar — will steam clean the grimiest of appliances. Hot Pocket grease, butter splatters, and burnt popcorn smells are no match for her.
Promising review: “The fact that these little gadgets were able to DEEP CLEAN my microwave and with absolutely NO scrubbing needed at all, is SUPER IMPRESSIVE! Literally just wiped off all of the stuck-on food. These things are amazing and I’m so happy that I ordered the two-pack because this is super handy for me to use at work and makes my job 100 times easier!! I’m an industrial building, office, etc. cleaner. So, being able to pop these bad boys in the microwaves while I’m cleaning is so helpful in many ways. So happy with my Angry Mamas! Such a cool and super cute gadget but mostly, IT’S GENIUS!!” —Nicholas Guyer
Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in different colors and packs of one or two).
13. A set of cart trolley dividing bags so you can organize your groceries as you go and not have to bob between putting things in the fridge/freezer/pantry once you get home — just put everything away bag by bag!
Each bag — from small biz Lotus Sustainables — holds up to 50 pounds and has an extra pocket. It comes from
Promising review: “This bag is perfect!! I have wanted one for a while now and finally purchased them about two weeks ago. Since then, I have used the bags several times at the grocery store. Even when I ran in for a few items I was able to detach the two smaller bags and just use them. I love the cooler bag, it is perfect for all of my refrigerated items. The egg and wine compartments in the largest purple bag are genius! I have received so many questions and comments on the bags every time I use them. I would definitely recommend getting the Lotus Trolley Bags!” —K.Keith
Get them from Amazon for $49.99.
14. A power scrubber that’s basically like an electric toothbrush but for icky bathroom nooks and crannies. The workhorse gadget can go to town on grout, faucets, shower tiles, and more so you can actually enjoy your weekend and not spend hours cleaning your WC.
Promising review: “I am always skeptical of products that have so many reviews and are hyped up on social media. However, I was very surprised how well this works. I have arthritis in my fingers, and it is difficult for me to scrub crevices and to do a lot of housework, but this tool is saving my hands! It is really powerful and digs into small areas like between faucet handles and the sink drain holes. I am actually going to buy more of them so that I can use them in the kitchen and bathroom. I even tried to use it on the soles and edges of my white Nike Air Force Ones, and it was so easy to clean them!” —D Lee
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
15. A Conair fabric defuzzer powerful enough to remove pills and matted fibers from your sofa (and even clothes) but gentle enough that no damage is left in its wake.
Check out our write-up of this magical fabric defuzzer! The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries that aren’t included, but you can buy some right here!
Promising review: “If you are thinking about getting it, just do it, you won’t regret it! Save your favorite sweater from looking old and beat up; it has three levels so you can choose how close you want it to be from the actual fabric so you don’t risk it. Used on crochet sweaters, socks, pants, and even leggings — say goodbye to those annoying little fabric balls. It’s truly a lifesaver. My sweaters look good and stay well maintained for longer.” —Gissela
Get it from Amazon for $13.30+ (available in six colors and rechargeable or battery-operated).
16. A hard-water-stain remover that’ll get your shower so sparkling clean, guests will ask what your secret is.
17. A “scumbug” sponge you can toss in your pool or hot tub to suck up oils, slime, films, and unidentifiable grime so you aren’t taking a dip in ~literal filth.~
Promising review: “This is a genius product! A must have! I am a newbie hot tub owner. I barely survived my first three months of ownership trying to balance the water daily with expensive, nasty-smelling chemicals and keep it fresh without wanting to do a complete water change every week. What a pain! I saw these Scumbugs on Amazon and decided to try it after reading the reviews. HOLY CRYSTAL CLEAR WATER! This is a must-have for any hot tub owner, hands down. It really works!! And you can clean it and refuse it and it continues to work! Thank you for saving my sanity and my wallet!!” —shanna jo wright
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99.
18. A 20-pack of melamine sponges that may not have a fancy brand name, but clean just as well as their competitors. Simply wet the nonabrasive sponge, wipe down whatever kitchen surface needs some TLC, and then rinse it to use again!
Promising review: “I’ve been a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser fan for a long time. My husband works with metal and works on cars so there is oil, grease, etc. everywhere in our house…and the bathtub is awful. They were the only thing to get rid of it. UNTIL I FOUND THESE! 1 MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE MAGIC ERASERS. Hardly have to scrub to get the tub clean now. I’ve used one for three bathtub cleanings, and I’m sure I will get at least five more uses out of it. I’d get maybe 1.5 cleanings from the other brand. I’ll never buy another brand again other than these. They will last forever — the package was much bigger than expected for the price. Just buy them… worth it!” —Briana M.
Get a 20-pack from Amazon for $14.95.
19. A tube of silicone grout whitener if you’re dealing with mold and mildew that will 👏 not 👏 go 👏 away 👏 no matter how much you clean it.
The gel formula is safe to use on/around windows, sinks and baths, shower-heads, pools, tiles, silicone sealant, and more. Leave it on the area you’re looking to clean for six to eight hours (no scrubbing required). Some reviewers with really bad mold/mildew note that leaving it on for longer and/or doing a second round of cleaning made a huge difference!
Promising review: “This stuff is amazing. Since we bought this place, we figured we had to fix the caulking because we tried every cleaner we know to get rid of this gross shower mold. Before we decided to fix…we gave this a shot. Now the shower is like new; probably didn’t even need to wait the 5 hours, but glad we did. Saved so much time, labor, and money. 🙌” —Nacho Average Review
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
20. A tub of Scrub Daddy’s PowerPaste — a naturally abrasive clay-based cleaning compound that can tackle dirt, lime scale, grease, food residue, soap, and whatever else is plaguing you.
PS: It comes with a Scrub Mommy so you don’t have to purchase a sponge separately.
Promising review: “I’m in college and live with 13 other people, so our house needs cleaning all the time. I use the Power Paste and scrubber for everything! It comes with so much paste I feel like it’ll last forever. I use it in our showers, sinks, stoves, and more. Works like a charm, and I don’t have to use 100 rags/paper towels — I only use this. HIGHLY recommend getting this!!” —Target Reviewer
21. Or an ~eco-friendly~ oven cleaner with a blend of plant- and mineral-derived purifying and disinfecting ingredients including eucalyptus, lemon, and peppermint oils, pumice stone, and baking soda.
Everneat is a Fairfield, Connecticut–based, all-natural cleaning shop from Claudia and Angelo Zimmermann. Their oven cleaner comes with a professional-grade metallic scrubber you can use to scrub your appliance before wiping it down with a microfiber cloth.
Promising review: “Like many I moved into a house with a used oven. Keeping the typical grease and cooking messes at bay over the years has been a challenge, especially because of its placement in the kitchen (up against a wall in a corner). I tried vinegar and baking soda, Dawn dish soap, then fume-free Easy-Off, which, although effective, is more of a hassle to apply and remove (and wasteful since I have to cover the heating elements with aluminum foil). Saw this product online and liked the non-chemical ingredients, and decided based on the reviews that it was worth a try. It’s not cheap, but this is the only thing that got almost all the residue off my oven surfaces. Nice smell and didn’t leave any scratches or marks. I highly recommend rinsing thoroughly and drying with a microfiber cloth for best results.” —Irish Eyes
Get it from Amazon or Etsy for $19.99+ (available in three scents).
22. An ~instant~ carpet spot remover you can rely on to get your space back in shape after you accidentally trip while holding a whole bowl of queso. (It happens to the best of us.)
Promising review: “Love love love Folex!! Super easy to use. The bottle does exactly what it says. My chairs were SUPER DIRTY from my 2-1/2-year-old grandson eating and feeding dogs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how clean they got after just one use. Mind blown!!” —Carobnty
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in multiple sizes and packs up to 12).
23. A drill brush kit you can attach to your drill/driver for the most REWARDING cleaning sesh ever — no elbow grease necessary.
Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments.
Each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need it for! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch!).
Promising review: “I have NO idea why this product would ever have less than a 5-star review. It is a great brush set. I used all three in an effort to get some mildew stains off the grout in my shower. NOTHING worked, but a bit of bleach and these brushes worked like a charm! I used the larger brush on the floor of the shower and to remove some soap scum from the glass shower doors. WOW! Where has this been all my life?! Excellent product, works like it should in conjunction with your power drill.” —SomeGirl
Get it from Useful Products on Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors and stiffness levels).
24. A bottle of dog spot repair if your puppy has a favorite pee spot and it shows… This stuff will get new grass growin’ in no time so you can get back to hosting BBQs.
Promising review: “We purchased this to fill some patches in our backyard that were damaged by our puppy. Works like a charm. The one caveat is that you really do have to water it a bit every day. Once it takes off though, it grows pretty quickly! Within one week of planting this, we had 1-inch-long grass blades. One month later, all the patches are gone. Highly recommended!” —Jessica N.
Get it from Amazon for $16.45+ (available in five sizes).
25. A mildew remover made specially with outdoor fabrics in mind. Spray it on your patio chairs, porch swing, or awnings, and watch it wash away ground-in dirt. Then, after that, liberally spray it on your siding, tiles, gutters, and roof, too.
Promising review: “I don’t often write a review of a product. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we’d take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad as before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean.” —Christine A. Simonson
Get it from Amazon for $10.48+ (available in three sizes).
26. A Baseboard Buddy with a 4-foot extendable pole that makes cleaning your baseboards, moldings, ceiling fans, and grates nice and easy on your knees, shoulders, and back. If you’re someone who forgets to clean those things until big ol’ cobwebs are visible, it’s probably a good thing to have on hand.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that 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.
27. A Clorox toilet wand with disposable scrubbing pads you can plop into the trash the second you’re done cleaning. No more poo particles just sitting around on your toilet brush. 🙅♀️
What’s included: One toilet wand, one storage caddy, six original disposable refills, and 10 Rainforest Rush-scented refills.
Promising review: “I much prefer this to a traditional scrub brush because the pads are disposable. I mean, I really found it weird using an old fashioned brush and then putting it away after having been in the toilet. (Yuk.) These have enough cleaning fluid infused in the sponge to clean up the toilet regularly. You can even add a traditional toilet gel/cleaner if you feel the need for additional cleaning. Bought a separate set to use strictly as a cleaner for the hard-to-reach places in my shower/tub. Works like a charm.” —Maria
Get it from Amazon for $20.86.
28. Or a big ol’ pumice stone on a stick poised to obliterate stubborn stains left by limescale, hard water, calcium, iron, and rust.
Promising review: “What witchcraft is this?? Five minutes of rubbing with this thing and I removed the ring that has been on my toilet for years. I had previously tried half a dozen cleaning products with zero success. I wish I would have bought this a long time ago. One tip is to open the plastic wrapper outside or over a trash can, as the white dust is annoying to clean up.” —Amazon Customer
Get it on Amazon for $13.99+ (available in packs of one and two).
29. And an automatic toilet bowl cleaning system because I bet ya forgot you’re supposed to even clean in there…😬 Plop this cartridge in your loo’s tank and it’ll take care of things for a solid three months — cleaning and deodorizing with every flush.
Promising review: “Excellent product. I highly recommend, especially to those with old toilets that don’t have antimicrobial ceramic technology involved. I work as a handyman and do a lot of plumbing work, and I had never seen this type of product used before. I didn’t even know it existed. Why hardware stores don’t sell these, I’ll never understand!” —Matthew Sileo
Get it from Amazon for $19.39.
30. A handy wine stain remover because your area rug has had quite a few Cabernet encounters and you can only hide so much under the couch and coffee table.
Good news! It works on stains new and old so don’t be discouraged if you come across a spill after the fact.
Promising review: “If you’re a red wine drinker, you must have this around the house. My father is a vintner, and we use it ALL the time. It’s the only thing that works.” —Esotericam
Get it from Amazon for $12.49.
31. An all-natural scouring paste sure to make every surface in your home ✨sparkle.✨I’m talking sinks, tubs, stove tops, grout, and even that annoying crevice on the back of your toilet.
Humble Suds is a small cleaning brand run by two moms — Holli Schuab and Jennifer Parnell — in Evergreen, Colorado. All of their products are made from powerful, plant-based ingredients and packaged with recyclable materials. They recommend applying a tablespoon of their scouring paste to a cloth and then scrubbing in a circular motion.
My Shopping team colleague Danielle Healy is a fan (she took the photos above!), saying:
“I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I’ve been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime. 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it’s going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!”
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $11.96+ (originally $15.95+; available in two sizes).
32. A nonabrasive cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad and scraper that can get rid of burnt-on food, water stains, and persistent grease splatters.
The heavy-duty formula works on glass, ceramic, induction, radiant, and halogen stovetops.
Promising review: “When we moved into our current rental it was clear that the previous tenants didn’t maintain the glass cooktop of the stove. I’ve tried many other products and a lot of elbow grease to clean it myself but nothing has helped, until this product! I saw it featured on a recent BuzzFeed article about superior cleaning products and I’m so glad I did. This is the only thing that worked removing years of baked-on filth.” —James
Get the kit on Amazon for $12.48.
33. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads (yes — they’re compatible with your Swiffer) so you can say goodbye to those single-use ones that are 1) Expensive and 2) Not great for the planet.
They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you’re so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up 100 single-use pads.
Promising review: “Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I’m sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!” —AKGross
Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.
34. A chemical-free concentrated leather cleaner to restore your dull, dry, or scratched leather to basically how it was when you first got it. You can use it on *literally* anything made from leather!
Promising review: “I have ordered numerous leather cleaners and conditioners over the years. I ordered both the cleaner and the conditioner and they restored my leather sofas. The cleaner and the leather conditioner are amazing! My sofas look like new and feel soft and supple again with a nice sheen. I will use these on my leather purses and jackets as well. So glad to find this MADE IN THE USA product. A bit pricey but well worth the extra cost.” —CJ
Get it from Amazon for $14.44+ (available in three sizes).
35. A stainless steel cleaner and polish sure to eliminate doggy nose prints, grease, and streaks from the outside of your appliances. They put in a lot of hard work so the least you can do is keep ’em shiny.
Promising review: “Amazing is all I can say about this product. I moved into my home with a stainless refrigerator as part of the sale and it had water spots, discoloration, and other film on it. This cleaner, after two applications, completely removed all of the mentioned stains and discoloration. My wife was very happy, and if she approved of this product then I had to write this review. Buy it now for all your stainless steel appliances.” —G. Snow
Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in three sizes).
36. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner that utilizes beeswax to restore tired antiques, furniture, doors, and trim. If you’ve left a whole lot of cup rings on your coffee table (I mean… who can be bothered with coasters??) then this will become your BFF.
37. A pack of Bissell Stomp ‘N Go pads capable of lifting whatever nasty stain your pet left you on your new Persian rug. Whether you’re picking up slobber, mud, or an “accident” (let’s be real — it was just raining, and they didn’t want to go outside), your fingers don’t have to get anywhere near the mess — just throw on a house shoe, toss the pad on top of the stain, and give it a good ol’ stomp.
Promising review: “My older dog had an accident on the carpet right in front of our front door and with heavy traffic walking over the spot all the time… it got darker almost daily!! We put these on overnight, and I was amazed!! My carpet was beautiful, and the stain was gone!!! We let it dry and steam-cleaned it, and now it’s like it never happened. Recommend these to anyone who has stains — even if they’ve been there for years!!!” —Kamryn
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $26.12.
38. A jar of toilet bowl fizzies which, for the uninitiated, are like bath bombs for your toilet! Just drop one of the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide tablets in, wait 10 minutes or so, give your toilet bowl a good lil’ swipe with your cleaning wand, and you’re golden.
Viren Apothecary is a woman-owned business based in Wisconsin that sells eco-friendly cleaning essentials.
BuzzFeed editor Amanda Davis loves hers:
“I’ve been using the blood orange-scented bowl bombs for a couple of months now, and OMG they smell amazing! Like, right when I opened the package. After doing a thorough cleaning of my bathroom, I always pop one of these babies in the toilet as a last step to clean and make the room smell a little better (I have a teeny tiny bathroom so this little guy does the trick). And in terms of cleaning the porcelain throne, they absolutely work. My towel bowl always shines brighter after using one. It’s also helpful that the packaging is plain ole adorable and I don’t have to hide or store it anywhere!”
Get 10 tablets from Viren Apothecary on Etsy for $9.50.
39. A crevice-cleaning brush (it comes with one handle and replaceable heads) that can get into nasty nooks like the spaces under your toilet seat, in your window grooves, and between faucet handles. When you’re done, just toss it — no need to clean it!
Promising review: “I clean for a living and I always complain about not being able to get into crevices and this product has made my job a lot easier. 10 out of 10.” —Kimbra Randle
Get a pack of 50 from Amazon for $8.88.
40. A pet-specific stain remover sure to hide the fact that Sparky isn’t the perfect angel you make him out to be on Instagram. But that’s okay, buddy, we’re all just trying our best.
Promising review: “This stuff is so great!! I’ve tried so many brands of enzymatic cleaners and they all have a strong chemical smell. This smells exactly like the orange cream shakes at Arby’s!! It does an excellent job of erasing odors and seems to be working to deter puppy from peeing in that spot again. Leaves a great, long-lasting scent, and odors are long gone by the time the pleasant scent fades the next day. It’s also a great stain remover. I’ve only used it on puppy messes, but it makes quick work of them. Love this stuff so much!!” —Geek Girl

41. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won’t stop.
Promising reviews: “I have two Australian shepherds and make extra money by dog sitting through Rover. As you can imagine, my couch takes a lot of damage. The cushions have been vomited on, puked on, stepped on with muddy paws, and licked until damp. Well, I am amazed with the Bissell Little Green! I have no doubt that this purchase will be well worth the reasonable price for the use I’ll get out of it as a dog sitter. I had planned to use it as a spot cleaner (which I will), but after watching the dirty water come off of the ‘clean’ areas of the cushion I’m considering just cleaning the whole couch!” —Ivy
Get it from Amazon for $98.59+ (also available in a pet version).
42. And an adjustable, three-blade blind duster that can clean the grimiest blinds — we’re talking top and bottom — in one fell swoop. This way, you won’t be engulfed by a cloud of dust every time you crack them open.

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
