36 Products To Make Cleaning The House Easier
A set of heavy duty Tub O Towels wipes that are most definitely not here to play — they're basically the paper towel version of The Rock and can lift up stains on anything from grease to permanent marker to nail polish. Bonus: they're tough on stains, but the aloe vera in them makes them super gentle on skin!
Sprayway Glass Cleaner, a reviewer-beloved cleaning staple that did *not* come here to play. This streak-free, fast-acting foam is so effective at cleaning surfaces that a lot of businesses and offices swear by it for that oh-so-squeaky-clean look.
The Pink Stuff's new "Sqeezy" sponge set, which is living up to its "miracle" catchphrase by helping reviewers with their toughest cleaning projects, like grimy pans, mildewed showers, and marked-up walls. If you aren't already in the cult of Pink Stuff cleaning paste, it's so good at its job that reviewers call it "gold in a jar" and "witchcraft."
Or the The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray, another Pink Stuff product that lives up to the hype — this version is especially handy for large surface areas like counters, walls, bathtubs, and floors, so you can go ham with the spray and lift it all up in one go.
A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time.
A bottle of Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that's working OVERTIME on preventing you from replacing your carpets — not only does this vanish the evidence of pet-related stains and odors, but it leaves the area smelling so nice that you'll be like, "Um, is this my new signature perfume??" Extremely bonus: it also deters pets from peeing, so if there's a ~hot spot~ your doggo loves to frequent, this ought to curb the habit.
A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can quite literally "set and forget" to maintain its cleanliness over time — once you apply it after a shower, you just have to wait eight to 12 hours and it'll quietly tackle the soap scum, grime, oils, mold, and mildew stains without any elbow grease from you.
A self-cleaning broom and dust pan set designed with pet owners in mind — the bristle cleaner installed in the dust pan makes it *super* easy to dislodge pet hair into the dust pan so you're not sweeping the floor with it all jammed up in there.
A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you can plop into your sink, run a little water on, and let its blue magic fizz its way up to the top while clearing out all the gunk from your culinary adventures in one go.
A set of darling reusable Swedish dishcloths that can be washed up to 50 times in the dishwasher, and are designed to replace 17 (!!) rolls of paper towels each. These are strong enough to tackle tough stains and grime, but gentle enough that they won't scratch cookware or hurt your skin.
A drain snake you can funnel into your shower or sink drain that honestly works a little *too* well at unclogging hair in older sinks and bath tubs, pulling it up in one (semi-horrifying) go before you have to resort to potentially pipe-damaging traditional drain cleaners.
A super effective and strangely whimsical foaming drain cleaner for anyone who wants to make cleaning a whole aesthetic. This gentle but powerful foam pulls up gunk and cleans out drains in sinks, bathtubs, and floor drains, helping prevent plumbing issues and making everything smell ~squeaky clean~.
An over-the-door stuffed animal organizer so the next time you're all, "CLEAN YOUR ROOM I AM BEGGING YOU," the kiddos can have a blast racing to get all their beloved plushies off the floor and in their little pocket homes.
Plus a quick-drying mesh bath toy storage bag parents *swear* by for quick and easy cleanup — it functions as a net so you can just scoop all the toys right out of the bathwater before hanging up the bag on the tiled wall.
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 shoving the hair around instead of getting rid of it properly.
A "smart" elevated dish rack that has basically optimized every inch of itself — it features adaptable spots for all your dishes, a ridged mat for faster drying, a drain spout, and a drying mat underneath to catch extra moisture and keep your counters clean. This dish rack is better prepared for its job than I have been in my ENTIRE life.
A bottle of wood polish to instantly make your scuffed-up doors, hardwood floors, and furniture look so spanking new that you'll wonder if it's not actually wood polish but a time machine. Why get new tables or fancy professional restoration when you've got a $9 secret weapon??
A reusable microfiber Swiffer mop pad that reviewers love not only because it's ready for action again right after a wash cycle, but because it picks up a ton more dirt, gunk, and debris than the disposable mops do, *and* it's a heck of a lot cheaper than stocking up on the one-use versions over time.
A pumice cleaning stone for a non-toxic, delightfully efficient option to banish those stubborn toilet rings from your bowl once and for all (without messing up the porcelain!!).
A game-changing dishwashing spray that says, "No dishwasher? No problem!!" These powerful spray bottles and formula are designed so you can spray your dirty dishes, let them sit a few minutes, and easily wipe away even the most caked-on food grime with a quick wipe and rinse.
A grout paint pen to revamp your bathroom and kitchen tiles so fast that you'll start taking videos of them like you're showing off a home on HGTV.
A fume-free oven cleaner that's gentle enough that you don't need protective gloves to use it but tough enough that it'll erase the evidence of all your baking misadventures and that time you fell asleep while cooking pizza rolls.
A hanging tool organizer for all those odds and ends you perilously shoved into your closet, hoping for the best. Free up all that space on the ground and let those cleaning supplies hover on the wall or the inside of a closet door instead!
And a set of Command spray bottle hangers you simply stick to the inside of a cabinet door for easy storage, making it super easy to grab your cleaning products without a bajillion of them falling at your feet.
A set of stainless steel cleaner and polish wipes to give all your impossible-to-clean kitchen appliances that brand-new, streak-free kind of gleam, from the fridge to the stove to the dishwasher.
A bottle of Goo Gone for banishing all those mysteriously sticky, tough-to-scrub stains, like toothpaste or shampoo residue or the adhesive left on your windows or cars from sticker decals.
A set of washing machine–cleaning tablets that'll tackle that weird mold + mildew smell in one cycle. Your laundry will come out so fresh that you'll hold your nose up to it like you're auditioning to play "Human in Scented Detergent Commercial."
And a set of dishwasher-cleaning tablets you can pop into a cycle with your dirty dishes to wipe out all the extra grime and that funky smell you can never seem to get rid of no matter how hard you try. You don't even need to scrub — these do all the work for you!
A set of adorable wool dryer balls to replace all your dryer sheets, and make your laundry a HECK of a lot more efficient — these help significantly shorten drying time, collect pet hair caught on your clothes, and even help soften fabric for a more ~luxurious~ post-laundered experience.
A blind duster with microfiber sleeves so you can dig in deep and pick up an oh-so-satisfying amount of dust without wasting an oh-so-annoying amount of time like you usually do. Bonus: It comes with five clean sleeves, so you can tackle a bunch of windows at once.
A glass and ceramic cookware cleanup kit that comes with a heavy-duty scrubber, a razor blade, *and* a cleaner specifically designed to get at those caked-on stains, so you can knock it all off in a few minutes and get your Ina Garten game face on in peace.
A power scrubber brush you can attach to a DRILL (!!) that basically does all of the hard grime busting for you, so you don't have to have sore arms for a week just because you dared to wipe down the shower.
iRobot's Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo that will make anyone with hardwood floors want to SING from relief. This adorable gizmo maps your floors and uses sensors to vacuum carpets and hardwood, plus mop hard surfaces in clean, neat lines without running into any obstacles. Then it goes back to its little charging dock home so it can juice back up and do the whole thing all over again.
A broom for pet and human hair you can use on any type of floor, but is specifically designed to pull it up from the carpet faster and deeper than even a lot of vacuums can reach. In less than five minutes you'll find out what color your carpet's *actually* been the whole time!
A red wine stain–removing spray to pick up both old and new red wine stains from carpets, couches, towels, and fabrics, so now even your white duvet is safe from your Cabernet's clutches.
An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner that uses vinegar and water to blow hot steam into your microwave oven and loosen up all the old food and stains in a mere seven minutes (approximately two Lizzo songs, if anyone's keeping track).

Some leather zipper boot inserts with eyelets so you'll lace 'em into your Docs you don't wear as often as you should because you hate lacing 'em up when you're just trying to get out the door.

Boot-Fix Glue so you can avoid going to the shoe-repair store because it always ends up being MUCH more expensive than you assumed. A handbag organizer with LOTS of pockets that'll help you make the most of that tote you ADORE but REALLY needs far more organization. Or maybe it just (embarrassingly) has pen marks all over inside of it and you're trying to cover it up? Talk about a win-win. A HUGE pack of denture- and retainer-cleaning tablets that, YES, can de-gunk that $$$ mouthguard you got talked into at the dentist. But it will also turn back time on stained coffee mugs and thermoses so you aren't tempted to invest in new ones when you've got perfectly good ones at home. (Or you can even revive ones found at the thrift or from your local buy-nothing group!) A set of Solemates heel protectors to save your stilettos from grassy walks as a bridesmaid, wedding guest, or someone who just got invited to a fancy shindig. Now you won't have to worry about defaulting to block heels or dropping your shoes off for repair afterward. And because they're clear, they're unnoticeable. A specific ink remover that'll remove all sorts of pen accidents and transform hand-me-downs that have been etched with Sharpie pens.

A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a TikTok-famous cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on situations like this nasty-looking kitchen faucet. This'll seriously come in handy even if your roomie has gotten better about cleaning as of late. Sometimes you just need a new product to get halfway excited about doing chores. An expandable under-sink kit that'll fit around awkward pipes in the kitchen or bathroom while giving some sturdy ground to those bottles of cleaner and everyone's beauty products. No more cabinet avalanches! And a drawer organizer set to Lego-fit all the containers into your drawer so you can have the bathroom drawer or junk drawer of your Instagram dreams — or at least a drawer that works for your living situation.

A pack of dual-sided SneakErasers that'll do nearly everything that pair of Sambas you've been wearing for the past six months need for zhuzhing up. One side will cleans scuffs, dirt stains, and grime, and the other side whitens them. Some liquid fabric dye can give your canvas sneakers a new life. The Rit website has a TON of official tutorials! And a powder fabric dye to help update anything in your closet you're feeling a bit meh about, has faded more than you'd like, or would serve you better in a different hue. A jean button replacement kit in case the problem with your go-to pair is actually the hardware. Yes, $9 for a one-time fix can feel steep. But y'know what's steeper? Finding another pair and then paying for 'em. Oh, and there are MULTIPLE replacement buttons in this kit. Grandma's Secret, an under-the-radar solution with serious stain-removing prowess — like, cleaning pen from a white leather couch. Some bra bands that can easily add some extra space to your trusty underthing you aren't quite ready to part with. Bras are incredibly expensive, and these aren't! A puffer jacket repair kit to work around small rips and tears without having to toss a whole item of outerwear. A tie-dye kit can be a fun solution to cover up a stain that won't go away as an afternoon activity that'll make you wanna wear the piece of clothing for years to come! Psst, this might be perfect for those white T-shirts that have pit or neck stains. A waist extender that'll help you get FAR more use out of those pants you're nervous about wearing to dinner because they're right on the cusp of being hard to button up. No need to replace! Be free! Use a waist extender! And on the flip side, a set of jean button pins to save the day when you're in between sizes on jeans you love — this pin helps you tighten up a waist gap on top. And all it takes is pressing it in. That's it! A four-way cleaning brush will make big moves on those black suede (or nubuck!) boots you decided to shuffle around in the dirt while wearing last weekend. Their days are no longer numbered. A set of Stretchlace shoelaces that'll transform your lace-up sneakers into some slip-ons whether you're simply tired of lacing up your shoes or some recent mobility issues have made it harder to lace the regular cotton laces. Some bright shoelaces that come in a set of 15 colors to help brighten up some still-perfectly-fine sneakers in a way that'll get you pumped to wear them. And if you're REALLY into putting in some effort, a leather paint set will help you get creative with your leather shoes and accessories. Sometimes you just need to breathe some new life into a beloved accessory. An attachable LED light for your vacuum because you've been eyeing the Dyson with the dust-finding light after your friend said she bought it but you KNOW you don't need to get a whole new vacuum. This is under $20 AND, according to the reviewer quoted below, just might not be a good thing because you'll see even more dirt and dust that needs cleaning! A velvet slipcover will give your ragged old couch a completely new look. Plus, the slipcover comes with straps to keep it in place so you don't have to fuss with it all the time. Or perhaps you could use some washable dining chair slipcovers so you can make actual use of that dining set your aunt is offering up for free but isn't quite your style. Reviewers say they're super easy to use and work on various sized chairs. And consider a stretchy arm chair slipcover to help transform that perfectly fine (but hideous) chair you found on Facebook Marketplace for a song. Some cushion supports in case lots of work-from-home days — which you're very grateful for, btw — has aged your couch at a rapid rate. These'll help plump up your cushions and make the couch look like new(er). A snazzy couch cushion to keep your seat cushions safe from your pets, kids, and adults you also reside with — OK, from you too. It can also seriously scratch the itch for a new couch. An enamel paint safe to use on metal appliances and more (think washers, dryers, fridges, tubs, bed frames) with unsightly rust stains or scratches but still run perfectly fine. A flexible, moldable rubbery glue called Sugru that's also waterproof, heat- and cold-resistant you can use on a variety of things that need fixing. So that pricey Apple computer charger can live to see MANY more workdays. May you never know the pain of having to buy a replacement. A couch cup holder that'll even fit your Stanely cup. If your living room setup means that your coffee or side table won't fit as close to your couch as you'd like, here's an easy answer that won't require moving *or* replacing furniture. Some magnetic garage handles and faux windows that'll bring some serious curb appeal to your home for an EXTREMELY small fraction of the price of getting some carriage-style doors. They're pricey as heck. These magnets are not. Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers reviewers found extremely helpful for camping and park use, BUT will also help your OG picnic table in your yard look more presentable while protecting you from splinters.

47 Hilariously Chaotic Employees
This anonymous coworker was a practical joker. As was this coworker. This coworker was literally Jim Halpert. Same with this person. And this one. This coworker offered a fair deal. This coworker played the most pointless is sometimes the funniest and most effective. This coworker did the same. I appreciate this coworker committing to the bit. Now that's a good the jokes. This coworker was a a funny jerk, so it doesn't count. This is just a Winston Bishop-level prank. This employee added a nice message for this poor broken coffeepot that had seen better days. This coworker made sure to leave a memento behind. As did this coworker. That's one way to shame messy coworkers. Seriously — just turn coworkers' annoying actions into art! This coworker just had to have the last word. This coworker had jokes — as did whoever set this up. These coworkers knew how to celebrate. Hey, at least he got to go home early! This coworker was passive aggressive — but in a funny way. If you can't read the above notice, it says:AttentionPlease reserve this printer for work-related documents only. Ink is expensive! Please print all future jobs using the black and white printer in Ron's office. Please stop by my office if you would like to print something in color. Thank you for your understanding!Did you know? A gallon of ink can cost as much as $8000.00? That's enough to buy 40 iPhone 6s. Now that's heartwarming. These coworkers were similarly supportive. This coworker was the motivational hero needed to get through the workday. This coworker had a similarly motivational message. This employee gave their coworker's Keurig a major upgrade. Now that's what I call malicious compliance. This coworker sent a subtle yet effective message. I just know there's a loooong history here to make this necessary. This coworker took their stolen food in good humor. This person took drastic measures to save a coworker's orchid at any cost. This coworker wrote a very effective two weeks notice. Another departing employee, another great cake to celebrate them. If HR comes calling, say they printed it themself. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ This coworker was just the *tiniest* bit evil. This coworker knew just how to make their office feel welcoming. Hmmm, I wonder what it is? This coworker decided the office art could use an upgrade. This employee just wanted to make sure no one got suspicious — which was not appreciated by a passing lawyer. This coworker played a cruel joke. This coworker made do with what they had. This employee proved potty humor does, actually, have a place in the workplace, HR be damned. This coworker just wanted to feel included. This employee made sure to brighten their coworkers' days. This employee had WordArt on their company computer, and gosh darnit, they were going to use it. And finally, this *might* get HR called on you, but it's pretty hilarious.
