Swiffer and BGC Canada Join Forces to Address the Chore Gap in Canadian Homes
Swiffer partners with BGC Clubs across Canada as part of an initiative aimed at promoting awareness of the equitable division of household responsibilities Toronto, ON, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In an effort to make Canadian household chores more equitable, Swiffer, a P&G brand, has teamed up with BGC Canada, the country's largest child-and youth-serving organization, to inspire kids to 'close the chore gap' at home. As part of the new partnership, Swiffer will provide easy-to-use tools, like the Swiffer PowerMop, to help bring the 'Home Eq[uity]' curriculum to life in BGC Clubs across the country. Research indicates that in 65% of households, the burden of chores often rests on a single individual, most often women. This disparity in the distribution of household responsibilities is what has come to be known as the 'Chore Gap.' While the inequity may look different in every home, the new partnership underscores the importance of addressing the chore gap before it happens, encouraging youth to consider what equity looks like within their own Close the Chore Gap initiative, launched in Canada in 2023 in partnership with Fair Play —a gamified life-management system inspired by Eve Rodsky's book—aims to educate families on the fair division of household work. Through age-appropriate curriculums developed for educators and families alike, the program teaches children and families that everyone has a role to play in maintaining a shared home.'Swiffer believes that addressing the chore gap starts with fostering a culture of shared responsibilities within the home,' said Nancy Li, Brand Director, Swiffer. 'Involving children in household chores not only tackles the chore gap at its roots but also equips them with essential life skills that contribute to happier, healthier adults. Our initiative aims to raise awareness of chore equity and inspire families to collaborate, showcasing how Swiffer can support a more balanced approach to household responsibilities.'The Home Eq[uity] curriculums, which BGC Canada will promote in its internal newsletter to Clubs across the country, will be available in full on the BGC Canada member website, with resources tailored to audiences from primary school to post-secondary.'At BGC Canada, we empower young people with the skills they need to succeed in all aspects of life—including at home,' said Brooke Duval, Sr. Director, Partnerships & Philanthropy, BGC Canada. 'Through this partnership with Swiffer, we're helping kids and teens understand the importance of shared responsibility and teamwork in their own households. By closing the chore gap, we're fostering habits that promote fairness and equity—values that will benefit them for life.' Swiffer and BGC Canada together aim to drive awareness around the issue of chore equity and encourage Canadians to close the chore gap within their own households.

Spring Clean Every Little Part Of Your Home, Indoors And Out, With These 50 Effective Products
1. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. 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 they need 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 at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and 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. Gladly recommend." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 2. Or a flat mop that basically cleans itself, so you don't have to touch the grimy mop head (bless). The compact design makes it great for tight spaces, and the reusable microfiber pads mean you can keep your floors and walls sparkling without hauling out a giant mop setup every time. Amazon, Promising review: "This mop is freaking awesome! My bathroom was being renovated so I bought this to wash the walls when it was done. Works awesome! I've used it on the floor as well. I love that you can wash the microfiber cloth. I would definitely recommend this product!!!" — Layla Get it from Amazon for $31.57+ (available in two sizes and many pad options). Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of two and four). 4. A pack of duster sponges that fit perfectly into blinds, baseboards, vents, railings, and all those annoying little grooves you find around your home. Just add water and swipe — the dust and grime come right off without any fuss. BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has this to say about them: " I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" 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 a four-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and packs of two, four, and eight). 5. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 6. A Chomp wall cleaner that comes with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads. You will feel like such a superhero when you use this, wiping away years of dust, grime, and weird handprints you didn't even realize were that high up. Promising review:"This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over, and a limited income and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" — Lou DeJesus Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 7. An instant mold and mildew stain remover spray to take your patio, siding, or outdoor furniture from "abandoned for decades" to "ready for guests" in seconds. Just spray it on and watch the gunk disappear like magic. It's powerful, a little smelly, and kind of a miracle if you've been neglecting your exterior for who knows how long. Promising reviews:"This product is amazing! I used it one time, and it got the job done. There is a space in my window that is poor fitting and allows condensation. I would highly recommend this product." — Savi "It rains almost every day during the Summer in Florida. By the end of Summer, my cool deck was green with mold around the perimeter. I was about to pay to have someone power wash my deck but found RMR-86 on Amazon. I purchased a bottle and sprayed all the areas that had mold and mildew. RMR-86 started working within minutes, right before my eyes. It was like magic! I'm definitely getting more." — Marie Moore Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in four sizes). 8. A touchless vacuum because dustpans are annoying and you deserve better. Just sweep debris toward its base, and the infrared sensors kick in to suck it all up. It's especially great in high-traffic areas where the floor somehow gets dirty five minutes after you clean it. 9. A sink plunger that'll unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed it for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like, a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole, and if you aren't expecting,g it will have a mess." — A Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in small and large sizes). 10. Or a drain clog remover to *literally* pull months of gunk out of your drain(s). It's long, flexible, and covered in little barbs that grab hair and gunk so you don't have to. Just poke, twist, and enjoy not standing in ankle-deep mystery water anymore. Promising review:"When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh-so-rewarding job." — Chocolate and Chips Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in two styles and different packs). 11. A pressure washer that'll make grimy surfaces like new again, especially after an especially harsh winter. From mildew on fences to stained concrete and outdoor furniture, this will help tackle difficult cleaning tasks that you thought couldn't be remedied. Promising review: "This washer was easy to set up and operate. I bought it to pressure wash the railings on my back patio, but once I saw how well it worked, I ended up doing my patio furniture, stone patio, steps, a stone wall, garage doors, and one side of my house. It took several hours to do all that, but it was really satisfying. Some of it was seven years worth of grime and some was only two years. This machine handled it all. I plan to do it all once a year to keep it looking great." — nylon21 Get it from Amazon for $199. 12. A Goo Gone kitchen degreaser to cut through greasy buildup like it's personally offended by it. Use it on stove tops, cabinet doors, backsplashes ... anywhere there's a noticeable (and suspicious) shine. It sprays on, wipes off, and leaves behind nothing but the amazing feeling of a kitchen that's actually clean. Promising review:"The tops of my cupboards had been cleaned maybe once in 15 years. They were disgusting with grease and dust that I thought I'd never get off. Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray, and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!" — JC Get it from Amazon for $7.34+ (available in two sizes). 13. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magic bright blue foam to rid your disposal of nastiness and lingering smells. You just plop one of the packets into the drain, and then it does its wizardly thing. After a minute or two, it's over, and your kitchen sink looks and smells amazing. Amazon This foam is a cleaner that helps eliminate bad smells, but it's best to call a plumber if your garbage disposal is clogged. Promising review:"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." — KS Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.60. 14. A compressed air duster to blast away dust stuck in keyboards, vents, window sills, and every other spot you've conveniently ignored for months (I'm not judging). It's cordless, rechargeable, and super satisfying to use. The kit comes with three nozzle widths and a collection of 10 small brushes to use alongside the air. Promising review: "The best word I can use to describe this tool is PO-WER-FUL!! This air duster packs so much power! I was able to dust my fans, keyboard, and hard-to reach areas in my car where the vacuum can't reach, and blew the dust away. If you have a dusty home, INVEST IN THIS!!" — S. Get it from Amazon for $59.99. 15. A carpet cleaner machine formula that acts as a deep stain remover and odor deodorizer for carpets that are covered in stains. This is an especially amazing product if you think your carpets or rugs are unsalvageable but still have a glimmer of hope that that's not true. This is the product that'll get the job done. Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small business. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo! Promising review:"I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and three scents). 16. A bottle of grout cleaner to deliver the kind of transformation usually reserved for makeover shows. If your grout's gone from white to "what even is that," this miracle in a bottle will lift the yuck and leave you wondering why you didn't do this years ago. Clean-Eez is a small business that makes cleaning products for the home. Promising review:"I used this on my bathroom grout which, is off-white, or should i say should be off white. With kids and pets, the grout was no longer its natural color. I used this stuff the other day and it's like it was just grouted. I've been telling everyone who wants to hear how well it worked. When I get time I'm going to do my kitchen floor." — Danielle Cooper Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 17. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top so you can keep your bathroom cleaning supplies organized. Cleaning can be so exhausting, so do yourself a favor and keep your supplies organized so that you don't expel energy trying to find all your cleaners and tools. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (available in chrome or bronze). 18. A tub of 90 heavy-duty cleaning wipes to take on grease, tar, ink, paint, and other stubborn messes (because sometimes you need more than a paper towel and a prayer). These oversized wipes are soaked in a powerful cleaning solution that cuts through gunk on pretty much any surface. My colleague Mallory Mower uses these and thinks they're great: These are my guilty pleasure cleaning product. I have everything from reusable paper towels to reusable napkins, but every once in a while I need to deep speed-clean surfaces and these do an impeccable job. They're super durable, so one wipe goes a long way and one canister will last you ages! Promising review:"I absolutely love Tub O' Towels. The towels themselves are huge and they smell like citrus goodness. They cut grease, clean up cat messes (you know what I mean), dirty bathroom sinks, tubs, funky countertops, the list is endless. I live with teenage boys and these towels hold up." — Joann Stallbaumer Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in two styles). 19. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! 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 it 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 $24.99 (available in white or black). 20. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to clean and deodorize your machine because every once in a while, the thing that cleans your dishes needs to be cleaned itself. Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! These remarkable cleaners will leave your dishwasher glistening and odor-free. Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smelled out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was weary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks and my dishes come out crystal clear after." — Courtney E. Delong Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $18.95. 21. A natural, plant-based bathroom cleaner that uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.99. 22. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 23. An all-natural stainless steel cleaner that will finally remove all the grime and fingerprints from the stainless steel stuff in your kitchen. Sinks, fridges, garbage cans, finally be as clean as the first day you moved in. Aaaand it smells like lavender! You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle. My former colleague Brittany Ross says, " I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too." Promising review: "This is a miracle worker on stainless. I have tried everything to get my stainless to shine like it should, even the home remedies, which do NOT work — sorry but they don't. This stuff is the best I have tried. I follow a girl on TikTok who recommended it and she has been right 100% on her Amazon recommendations. She nailed it again. You will love this stuff." — Amazonwoman Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs). 24. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the floor, and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 25. A pack of slow-release toilet cleaner tablets that'll bleach-blast away stubborn gunk like rust, grime, limescale, and whatever else is lurking in your tank. One tablet will help deodorize and descale with every flush, so your toilet stays fresher, longer, with zero effort from you. Each tablet can continuously clean the toilet for up to 15 days with 20 flushes a day. Promising review: "I like this product and I have ordered it again. It is effortless to use and it cleans well. The toilet bowl remains spotless without brushing and the water remains clear. There is the smell of bleach though, which some folks may not like, no problem for me. Product is effective and is good value for the money." — G. P. C. Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $16.99. 26. Or a pack of all-natural toilet fizzies for anyone who'd rather skip the bleach and instead go the botanical route. These are basically bath bombs for your toilet, made with essential oils like eucalyptus, lemongrass, or peppermint — so your bathroom ends up smelling more like a holistic spa and less like .... well, a bathroom. MW Botanical / Etsy MW Botanical is a woman-owned small business based in California making all-natural products for the home. Promising review: "Pleasant oder, cleans the toilet well. Like it. Will order again when I run low. Highly recommended." — Andrew Stoeppler Get it from MW Botanical on Etsy for $7.65 (available in seven scents). 27. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscience) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. 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. These are only compatible with the Swiffer Sweeper and WetJet models. 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 $9.99. 28. A no-rinse coil cleaner because even your AC needs a spring refresh. Just spray it on your indoor coils (usually behind a panel) and the thick foam gets to work loosening dust, gunk, and mystery grime. It doesn't need rinsing — your system's condensation takes care of tat — and it even leaves behind a light lemony scent so things feel fresher, not just cleaner. Promising review:"Works like magic! I have a Sub-Zero refrigerator with the evaporator at the top. I looked and saw the amount of lint and grime that had built up. There were several versions of this type of product, I bought this — one of the less expensive versions — and it worked exceptionally well. I have no idea where all of the stuff goes — but when this spray hits it, it disappears. There is probably enough of the stuff in the can to do three or four refrigerators, so I passed it onto my neighbors, who were impressed, too." — MatBo911 Get it from Amazon for $18.39 (also available in a two-pack). 29. A leather cleaner that will make your cracked, sad-looking sofa furniture look like it just got back from a wellness retreat. It gently removes dirt and grime from furniture, car interiors, and even handbags, all without drying anything out. You can also use it on faux leather, vinyl, plastic, and rubber. Promising review:"My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." — jellybean55 Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes). 31. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 32. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets for making cleaning your water bottles and tumblers less of a headache. If you're the person who just "rinses out" their reusable water bottle with water and a squirt of soap, your bottle is likely filled with unwanted bacteria and grime. These tablets put in all the elbow grease so you don't have to. No scrubbing, stirring, or washing — simply drop them in your bottle with some water, and *poof* all the bacteria and grime is gone. They're also biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." — Erin Green Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 33. A bottle of Wet & Forget outdoor cleaner to tackle mold, mildew, moss, and algae so you can reclaim your outdoor space. You mix it with water, spray it on decks, siding, walkways — wherever unwanted green and black stains have taken hold — and let it do the rest. Over time, wind and rain gently wash away the stains, leaving surfaces clean without any scrubbing or rinsing. It's bleach-free, non-acidic, and safe for virtually any outdoor surface. Tougher stains could take several months to go away, and if needed, you can re-spray 1–2 months after the first application. Promising review:"I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." — PM in NH Get it from Amazon for $19.70. 34. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains, all without the annoyance of a cord. Like the tens of thousands of positive reviewers, I, too use this to take on heavy duty cleaning. Everything from deep cleaning my rugs to taking care of major messes on my kids' carseats. It's truly a lifesaver! Promising review:"This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time, and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" — Davina Get it from Amazon for $123.59. 35. A Pikk-it tool that's basically a tiny rake for all the gunk wrapped around your vacuum's roller. It pulls out hair, thread, and whatever else your floor's been hiding. It's simply, it's satisfying, and it'll make your vacuum work waaaay better. Amazon, 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. 36. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save. Promising review:"I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wash in Tide, and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" — Tim S. Get five pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 37. A Chomp! oil stain remover that goes after driveway and garage stains like it has a personal vendetta. Just smear on the thick gel, let it dry, and peel it up. It's heavy-duty help for the kind of stain that you thought was permanent. Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." — Susan Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 38. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner; it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 39. A robot mop and vacuum combo that's basically the GOAT of spring cleaning. It vacuums, it mops, it empties itself, and it even scrubs its own mop pads. Yes, it's a splurge, but if you want floors that stay clean without constant effort, this little machine gets it done. Samar Hadri / BuzzFeed This robot vacuum and mop can even be controlled by Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri! My colleague Samar Hadri has this and swears by it: I love this mop/vacuum combo! I despise chores (as most people do), and as a busy mom of an infant who also works full-time, keeping on top of cleaning is a lot harder than it seems. Between washing and sterilizing bottles, whipping up meals, and tidying up, I literally find I don't have enough hours in the day for vacuuming or mopping. And then I got this baby. All I have to do is click a single button on the app or activate it via my Google Assistant (I named my robot Squidward, so I can say, "Squidward, start mopping"). The first thing it did was map my home (pictured above), and then it started out the clean cycle. It moped my tile, and once it sensed a rug, it switched to a vacuum, so my precious carpet was spared! I was amazedddd to see how well it cleaned up my floors! Plus, it totally did not crash into any furniture (and with an infant, trust me, there's a lotttt of furniture and gadgets strewn all over the place)!! It's a bit loud when it's emptying itself out, but otherwise, the actual cleaning portion of it is fairly quiet. Altogether, Squidward has proven himself to be an absolute time save for me. I highly recommend! Get it from Amazon for $549.99 (also available in white). 40. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is in good enough shape to keep your clothes clean. All you do is throw one tablet in and it cleans deep inside your machine's pump, valve, tub, drum, agitator, filter, and hose. Promising review:"My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn't come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." — Esta Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98. 41. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor. Promising review:"Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." — LauraP320 Get it from Amazon for $34.96. 42. An Oxo Good Grips brush set because sometimes your sponge just isn't cutting it. The large brush handles grout, stove tops, and shower door tracks, while the smaller one gets into tight corners and around faucets. It even has a built-in wiper blade for clearing out gunk. The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side. Promising review:"Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." — Laura Gail Get it from Amazon for $8.69 (also available in a grout brush). 43. A microfiber duster with an extendable pole and bendable head so you can finally tackle those top shelves, ceiling fans, and air vents. The fluffy microfiber grabs onto dust instead of flinging it around, and the whole thing collapses down small when you're done feeling smug about *finally* removing that colony of spiderwebs. The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review:"This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes." — M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 44. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Promising review:"Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." — Winged Wolf Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 45. A set of machine-washable microfiber cloths that'll leave glass and mirrors streak- and lint-free after you clean them. The pack comes with green and blue cloths, and to use them you get the green cloth damp and then clean whatever surface you need to, then use the blue cloth to wipe away whatever residue is left over — no need for cleaners, this method successfully cleans your surfaces with just water. Microfiber Wholesale is a family-owned small biz that started in 1946. Since then, the brand has evolved into an e-commerce business that creates and distributes high-quality cleaning products. Promising review: "We have a huge bathroom mirror that is very difficult to clean. I've used everything from a number of cleaners (various foam and sprays), vinegar, microfiber cloths, newspaper, paper towel, etc and nothing would get it completely streak free until now! Best purchase ever." — Sandy O. Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.98. 46. A broom and mop organizer you can put on an empty wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (I'm talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors). 47. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 48. A grooming glove to turn shedding season into a bonding experience instead of a fur-covered fever dream. With soft silicone tips, it gently removes loose hair while giving your pet a soothing massage — like a spa day they didn't even know they needed. From Buzzfeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $7.99. 49. Some stove burner covers that'll make cleaning your stove top so much easier. Instead of having to basically disassemble your stove to clean out all the gunk under the burners, just remove these covers, wipe 'em down, and boom! Like new. Promising review:" These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off, or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame, but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stovetop, lol. T his has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" — AngsChaos Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in black or silver and three different sizes). 50. And a bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to easily remove soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from your fireplace. Promising review:"Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It's a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." — MM Get it from Amazon for $19.99. Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

34 Reviewer-Loved Cleaning Products That Do The Hard Work For You
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. These are crowd favorites for a reason. 1. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner that's truly a miracle product. Once a week (or whenever you think your shower is gross), liberally spray it all over and then go fall asleep for the night. In the morning, spray water over the areas and watch all the grime instantly wash away. Promising review:"This shower cleaner is the real deal. Our shower has a grouted stone floor and mildew likes to cling between the stones. I usually have had to scrub with a stiff brush for cleaning. I sprayed as directed, the scent is pleasant and not overwhelming; and rinsed the shower the next morning. I was amazed that the icky grime and mildew was gone! No scrubbing, no order, no fuss... It's great value as a little goes a long way." — CBLB Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 2. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. 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 they need 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 at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and 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. Gladly recommend." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $29.94. 3. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! 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 it 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 $24.99 (available in white or black). 4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 5. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 6. A sink plunger to easily unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed it for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like, a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole, and if you aren't expecting,g it will have a mess." — A Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in small and large sizes). 7. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the floor, and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 8. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscience) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. 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. These are only compatible with the Swiffer Sweeper and WetJet models. 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 $12.66. 9. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your tub's drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain. This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself: Promising review:"This is crazy effective — I can't believe how much hair it collects! I'll never have to pull hair from my drain with one of those nasty hook things again! It's super easy to use and clean — it's rubber so you can easily just pull the hair off with a tissue and throw it away. I try to clean after every couple showers (just whenever I have the time) because the less hair that collects on it, the easier it is to remove. Fits the drain perfectly and has suction enough to stay in place, but still easy to remove and clean — very light weight." — The V Fam Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.99. 10. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 11. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magic bright blue foam to rid your disposal of nastiness and lingering smells. You just plop one of the packets into the drain, and then it does its wizardly thing. After a minute or two, it's over, and your kitchen sink looks and smells amazing. Amazon This foam is a cleaner that helps eliminate bad smells, but it's best to call a plumber if your garbage disposal is clogged. Promising review:"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." — KS Get a pack of four from Amazon for $8. 12. A length-adjustable pet hair broom because it's that time of the year when dogs and cats are shedding more than usual, and you need something to rake it all up. Because the bristles are rubber, it picks up way more hair than a traditional broom. Want more info? Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review. You'll learn a thing or two AND enjoy some very satisfying hair removal photos! Promising review:" I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can't always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." — Theo A Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles). 13. And an all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet that's like a bath bomb for your bowl. Drop one in, let it do its fizzy thing, and then lightly scrub away any residue. Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo that creates natural body, hair, and home products. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says:" For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup." Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents). 14. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets for making cleaning your water bottles and tumblers less of a headache. If you're the person who just "rinses out" their reusable water bottle with water and a squirt of soap, your bottle is likely filled with unwanted bacteria and grime. These tablets put in all the elbow grease so you don't have to. No scrubbing, stirring, or washing — simply drop them in your bottle with some water, and *poof* all the bacteria and grime is gone. They're also biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." — Erin Green Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 15. Or a reusable weighted bottle cleaner to take on all the gunk that's in your water bottles that a sponge or bottle brush can't reach. Simply drop, shake, and empty. Each sponge should last around four months. Cleanzy Sponge is a Black-owned small business that was started after inventor John kept having trouble cleaning drink containers without bulky tools and a lot of scrubbing. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but next to coffee, this guy is my best friend and has exceeded all of my expectations." — Jeni SenseOfWonder Get it from Cleanzy on Etsy for $9.99. 16. A natural, plant-based cleaner that uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $22.47. 17. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains, all without the annoyance of a cord. Like the tens of thousands of positive reviewers, I, too use this to take on heavy duty cleaning. Everything from deep cleaning my rugs to taking care of major messes on my kids' carseats. It's truly a lifesaver! Promising review:"This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time, and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" — Davina Get it from Amazon for $99.98. 18. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor. Promising review:"Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." — LauraP320 Get it from Amazon for $39.98. 19. A rolling laundry sorter since sorting your clothes into groups will make laundry day way more manageable. These come with the four bags already labeled, but there's an option to buy blank ones if you'd prefer to label yours with something else. Promising review:"It's exactly what I was looking for. We're a family of five so I always have something to wash, and I was tired of separating by colors. Now it's easy, and everybody can do it. It's a simple process for everyone. Now my kids think that it's fun to separate the clothes, and I'm fine with that, ha. I used a stencil and Sharpie to tag the bags — so easy, and l loved the results! Took me 20 minutes to assemble with my 9-year-old son. Looks nice, and the bags have a good quality, and also they have a great capacity. It's make laundry so easy!!!!" — Lourdes Get it from Amazon for $40.87 (available in five colors). 20. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to make sure your dishwasher is clean enough to actually clean the dishes. One tab removes lime and mineral buildup, which causes streaking on glassware and water spots on ceramics. These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:"I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, Tip Hero, etc. But this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well-maintained, and I struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios, turned back the clock. It looks brand-new inside. BRAND-NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again, and I'm telling everyone I know about this." — Jason Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99. 21. A grooming glove that turns shedding season into a bonding experience instead of a fur-covered fever dream. With soft silicone tips, it gently removes loose hair while giving your pet a soothing massage — like a spa day they didn't even know they needed. From Buzzfeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 22. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is in good enough shape to keep your clothes clean. All you do is throw one tablet in and it cleans deep inside your machine's pump, valve, tub, drum, agitator, filter, and hose. Promising review:"My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn't come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." — Esta Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98. 23. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Promising review:"Works perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." — Winged Wolf Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 24. A broom and mop organizer you can put on an empty wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (we're talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). Promising review:"Love this broom/mop holder. So nice to save space and stay organized. Holds them so firm and flat to wall. Also has hooks that fold out as needed. I recommend this to anyone looking for space-saving storage!" — Jaclyn Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available in four colors). 25. A toilet bowl ring remover if you haven't cleaned your toilet bowl in a reaaalllllly long time. That permanent dark ring? It's no match for this pumice stone on a stick! Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of two and four). 26. A scrap trap to make sure food prep doesn't result in a huge mess — just chop up your ingredients and push the discards into this bucket. It fits over the drawer or door, so you don't have to give up valuable countertop space. This also includes a brush/scraper that fits neatly in the front pocket to easily swipe scraps and crumbs into the container. Promising review:"Works just as described. It is so convenient to push scraps from the counter or cutting board into the scrap trap. Even though it is too big, place a plastic shopping bag in before you fill it and you will have the scraps bagged when you are done. It keeps things neat when doing prep work. Also bought one as a gift. Everyone who cooks should have one." — SR Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 27. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save. Promising review:"I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wash in Tide, and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" — Tim S. Get five pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 28. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner; it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 29. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top so you can keep your bathroom cleaning supplies organized. Cleaning can be so exhausting, so do yourself a favor and keep your supplies organized so that you don't expel energy trying to find all your cleaners and tools. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (available in chrome or bronze). 30. Some nonstick oven liners to keep your oven clean. Any drippings or spills from foodstuff fall onto the liner, which you can just take out and wash by hand or throw into the dishwasher. Amazon Promising review:"I have a non-self-cleaning oven for the first time in decades. After having an apple pie spill over and spending more than an hour cleaning it up, I purchased these oven liners. What a time-saver. They are easy to cut, so they fit perfectly. Because I have a visible heating element, the liner goes right on the oven floor, under the heating element." — K L Barnes-O'Connor Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 31. Some stove burner covers that'll make cleaning your stove top so much easier. Instead of having to basically disassemble your stove to clean out all the gunk under the burners, just remove these covers, wipe 'em down, and boom! Like new. Promising review:" These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off, or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame, but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stovetop, lol. T his has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" — AngsChaos Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in black or silver and three different sizes). 32. A touchless stationary vacuum to suck up all the debris you sweep near it. Simply place it on any smooth surface and let it do its thing. No more bending over with a flimsy dustpan. An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash. Promising review:" I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac, and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." — Mary C Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 33. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 34. And a bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to easily remove soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from nearly any fireplace. Promising review:"Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It's a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." — MM Get it from Amazon for $18.99. Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

35 Cleaning Products That'll Make Even The Most Intimidating Mess Feel Like No Big Deal
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Let these finds do the dirty work for you. 1. A reusable roller dog hair remover that works just as well as the single-use sheet kind, but without the guilt (and cost) of having to buy new rolls all the time. No more fur-covered couches! 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 $24.99 (available in white or black). 2. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment. 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 they need 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 at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and 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. Gladly recommend." — A. Mitchell Get it from Amazon for $29.94. 3. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner that's truly a miracle product. Once a week (or whenever you think your shower is gross), liberally spray it all over and then go fall asleep for the night. In the morning, spray water over the areas and watch all the grime instantly wash away. Promising review:"This product works — see the change in our bathroom floor as shown in the attached picture, with the number of applications indicated within each sub-picture. It took us three applications to fully clean up our shower! We sprayed this product after showering, while the floor was still wet, and then waited 24 hours to clean up the residues. One cannot expect immediate results (i.e., within a few hours). Rather, a clean floor takes many days. Your patience will be rewarded, though!" — J.B. Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub any hard surface in your home, from ovens and appliances to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to. Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over eight years of water scum on the shower glass — enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" — Abigail Pafford Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 5. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your home's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments, and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while watching the latest Netflix show. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 6. A sink plunger to easily unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps. Promising review: "I needed for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like, a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole and if you aren't expecting it will have a mess." — A Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in small and large sizes). 7. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your tub's drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain. This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself: Promising review:"This is crazy effective — I can't believe how much hair it collects! I'll never have to pull hair from my drain with one of those nasty hook things again! It's super easy to use and clean — it's rubber so you can easily just pull the hair off with a tissue and throw it away. I try to clean after every couple showers (just whenever I have the time) because the less hair that collects on it, the easier it is to remove. Fits the drain perfectly and has suction enough to stay in place, but still easy to remove and clean — very light weight." — The V Fam Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.99. 8. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscious) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new. 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. These are only compatible with the Swiffer Sweeper and WetJet models. 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 $12.66. 9. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the floor, and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus. Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 10. A natural, plant-based cleaner that uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $22.47. 11. A length-adjustable pet hair broom because it's that time of the year when dogs and cats are shedding more than usual, and you need something to rake it all up. Because the bristles are rubber, it picks up way more hair than a traditional broom. Want more info? Check out my coworker's FURemover Evrilholder broom review. You'll learn a thing or two AND enjoy some very satisfying hair removal photos! Promising review:" I saw this on TikTok and thought it was worth a shot. I have two dogs and a cat, and being one with a dust and dander allergy, I have to vacuum often, but the vacuum can't always get in deep enough. This actually works and I was shocked at how well it does. I brush the carpet a few times and vacuum it up and the carpet even looks better!! I highly recommend this to everyone — especially pet owners." — Theo A Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles). 12. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your window treatments. Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value. Being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 13. A garbage disposal cleaner that uses magic bright blue foam to rid your disposal of nastiness and lingering smells. You just plop one of the packets into the drain, and then it does its wizardly thing. After a minute or two, it's over, and your kitchen sink looks and smells amazing. Amazon This foam is a cleaner that helps eliminate bad smells, but it's best to call a plumber if your garbage disposal is clogged. Promising review:"It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried-and-true." — KS 14. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets for making cleaning your water bottles and tumblers less of a headache. If you're the person who just "rinses out" their reusable water bottle with water and a squirt of soap, your bottle is likely filled with unwanted bacteria and grime. These tablets put in all the elbow grease so you don't have to. No scrubbing, stirring, or washing — simply drop them in your bottle with some water, and *poof* all the bacteria and grime is gone. They're also biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." — Erin Green Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 15. A bottle of Quick N Brite Fireplace Cleaner to easily remove soot, smoke, creosote, and ash from nearly any fireplace. Promising review:"Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It's a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." — MM Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 16. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner capable of tackling the most aggressive messes and stains, all without the annoyance of a cord. Reviewers have used this to save their couches, rugs, stairs, car seats, and more. Promising review:"This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time, and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" — Davina Get it from Amazon for $99.98. 17. A microfiber spin mop that'll make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor. Promising review:"Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." — LauraP320 Get it from Amazon for $39.98. 18. A rolling laundry sorter since sorting your clothes into groups will make laundry day way more manageable. These come with the four bags already labeled, but there's an option to buy blank ones if you'd prefer to label yours with something else. Promising review:"It's exactly what I was looking for. We're a family of five so I always have something to wash, and I was tired of separating by colors. Now it's easy, and everybody can do it. It's a simple process for everyone. Now my kids think that it's fun to separate the clothes, and I'm fine with that, ha. I used a stencil and Sharpie to tag the bags — so easy, and l loved the results! Took me 20 minutes to assemble with my 9-year-old son. Looks nice, and the bags have a good quality, and also they have a great capacity. It's make laundry so easy!!!!" — Lourdes Get it from Amazon for $40.87 (available in five colors). 19. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets to make sure your dishwasher is clean enough to actually clean the dishes. One tab removes lime and mineral buildup, which causes streaking on glassware and water spots on ceramics. These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:"I always approach with a healthy dose of skepticism whenever taking advice from BuzzFeed, Tip Hero, etc. But this time I took a chance and could not be happier. I recently bought a condo that was not well-maintained, and I struggled cleaning many of the appliances. The dishwasher was caked in deposits from years of operation without proper care. Two of these pods, as suggested for heavily soiled scenarios, turned back the clock. It looks brand-new inside. BRAND-NEW. The plastic, the walls, everything. For those who spend hours a week cleaning, you will be amazed by this product. 10/10 would buy again and again, and I'm telling everyone I know about this." — Jason Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99. 20. A grooming glove that turns shedding season into a bonding experience instead of a fur-covered fever dream. With soft silicone tips, it gently removes loose hair while giving your pet a soothing massage — like a spa day they didn't even know they needed. From Buzzfeed contributor AnaMaria Glavan: "The glove is super comfortable and using it couldn't be more foolproof: just put it on and run your hands through your pet's fur. That's it! The silicone grooves pick up so much fur with ease. Like, my dog looks close to hairless. HOW is he shedding so much!?!? After a few runs, I found that I would have to remove fur from the glove before continuing (you can pick up the fur with your other hand or run the glove under some water — either works) but it's no biggie. The silicone actually makes it really easy to keep this clean. We got Rockie when he was five and he'd been riddled with skin issues and allergies, so I was pretty nervous to use anything that could potentially aggravate his conditions. However! Not only does this *not* bother his skin, but he…loves this. A lot. He starts snoring after exactly two run-throughs on his back. Also, his coat looks SO shiny after each use! TL;DR: this is one of those inexpensive add-ons that any pet owner should have on hand." Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 21. A pack of washing machine tablets to make sure your machine is in good enough shape to keep your clothes clean. All you do is throw one tablet in and it cleans deep inside your machine's pump, valve, tub, drum, agitator, filter, and hose. Promising review:"My washer was smelling and had grime inside the seal that wouldn't come off even when I tried to scrub it off, so I used one of these tablets in the wash. It worked like magic. Not only did it clean the washer very well (the water looked so dirty during the cycle), but it also got rid of the smell! I will keep using these as recommended." — Esta Get a six-pack from Amazon for $11.98. 22. A dryer lint brush because you'd be shocked at how much lint is residing in your dryer gap and exhaust port. Using this will speed up clothing drying time and help prevent lint buildup. Promising review:"Work perfectly for scrubbing the stuck lint out of the insides of your dryer. Everyone who owns a dryer should have these, they're basic safety equipment. Clean that lint, and reduce fire hazard and make the machine more efficient. They're long enough, strong enough, and just flexible enough without being too flexible." — Winged Wolf Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99. 23. A toilet bowl ring remover if you haven't cleaned your toilet bowl in a reaaalllllly long time. That permanent dark ring? It's no match for this pumice stone on a stick! Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2 Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in packs of two and four). 24. A scrap trap to make sure food prep doesn't result in a huge mess — just chop up your ingredients and push the discards into this bucket. It fits over the drawer or door, so you don't have to give up valuable countertop space. This also includes a brush/scraper that fits neatly in the front pocket to easily swipe scraps and crumbs into the container. Promising review:"Works just as described. It is so convenient to push scraps from the counter or cutting board into the scrap trap. Even though it is too big, place a plastic shopping bag in before you fill it and you will have the scraps bagged when you are done. It keeps things neat when doing prep work. Also bought one as a gift. Everyone who cooks should have one." — SR Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 25. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save. Promising review:"I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wash in Tide, and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" — Tim S. Get five pairs from Amazon for $15.99. 26. A broom and mop organizer you can put on an empty wall to keep all your cleaning tools neatly organized and off the floor. They'll also be out of sight and out of mind, which is exactly what you need if you hate cleaning and don't want to see the tools it requires on an everyday basis (we're talking about you, broom that's shoved in the space between the fridge and the wall). 27. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top so you can keep your bathroom cleaning supplies organized. Cleaning can be so exhausting, so do yourself a favor and keep your supplies organized so that you don't expel energy trying to find all your cleaners and tools. Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (available in chrome or bronze). 28. Some nonstick oven liners to keep your oven clean. Any drippings or spills from foodstuff fall onto the liner, which you can just take out and wash by hand or throw into the dishwasher. Amazon Promising review:"I have a non-self-cleaning oven for the first time in decades. After having an apple pie spill over and spending more than an hour cleaning it up, I purchased these oven liners. What a time-saver. They are easy to cut, so they fit perfectly. Because I have a visible heating element, the liner goes right on the oven floor, under the heating element." — K L Barnes-O'Connor Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 29. A 100% natural oven scrub kit for keeping your oven clean, especially if it's in constant use. Don't get a headache spending all day using a toxic oven cleaner; it's just not worth it. Amazon Everneat is a small business based in Connecticut that makes natural cleaning products and tools. Promising review: "I've been trying to clean my nasty oven door for the past five years. Tried everything I could find, but it remained an embarrassing mess. Ten minutes of moderate scrubbing yesterday with Oven Scrub and it was 90% clear. Another five minutes today, and it looks like new. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." — Andy Bea Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in two scents or unscented). 30. Some stove burner covers that'll make cleaning your stove top so much easier. Instead of having to basically disassemble your stove to clean out all the gunk under the burners, just remove these covers, wipe 'em down, and boom! Like new. Promising review:" These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off, or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame, but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stovetop, lol. T his has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" — AngsChaos Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in black or silver and three different sizes). 31. A touchless stationary vacuum to suck up all the debris you sweep near it. Simply place it on any smooth surface and let it do its thing. No more bending over with a flimsy dustpan. An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash. Promising review:" I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac, and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." — Mary C Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 32. A screen cleaner kit that comes with a spray and microfiber cloth to remove all those smudges and dust particles that have been on your TV and computer for way too long. The spray is free of alcohol, ammonia, and harmful phosphates. You can use it to clean any screen, including HDTVs, PC monitors, tablets, laptops, smartphones, and more! Promising review:"A miracle! I've been looking for this product all my life! I have a nice 42-inch smart TV that I hate cleaning. Every product I used left streaks everywhere so I'd use more and rub and sure your screen is cool and spray an ample amount on the cloth provided, and smear it everywhere. Then flip the cloth and rub it off. I think this is truly one of the greatest breakthroughs in modern history. They give you a huge can of this stuff and a quality cloth." — Paul Wedero Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in three sizes). 33. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets to make cleaning your water bottles and tumblers less of a headache. If you're the person who just "rinses out" their reusable water bottle with more water and a squirt of soap, your bottle is likely filled with unwanted bacteria and grime. These tablets put in all the elbow grease so you don't have to. No scrubbing, stirring, or washing — simply drop them in your bottle with some water and *poof* all the bacteria and grime is gone. They're also biodegradable, chlorine-free, and environmentally safe. Promising review:"I have achieved this level of clean by hard scrubbing with tons of vinegar and baking soda, but these tablets just pop in and do all the hard work for you. I drink tea every day, but it stains my cup. This has infinitely extended the life of my mugs." — Erin Fleming Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $7.90. 34. Or a reusable weighted bottle cleaner to take on all the gunk that's in your water bottles that a sponge or bottle brush can't reach. Simply drop, shake, and empty. Cleanzy Sponges / Etsy Each sponge should last around four months. Cleanzy Sponge is a Black-owned small business that was started after inventor John kept having trouble cleaning drink containers without bulky tools and a lot of scrubbing. Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but next to coffee, this guy is my best friend and has exceeded all of my expectations." — Jeni SenseOfWonder Get it from Cleanzy on Etsy for $9.99. 35. And an all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet that's like a bath bomb for your bowl. Drop one in, let it do its fizzy thing, and then lightly scrub away any residue. Melanie Aman / BuzzFeed Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo that creates natural body, hair, and home products. BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says:" For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup." Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents). Some reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
