Even your Keurig machine could use a spring cleaning. But it's easy-peasy.

Now that you've put your new grout cleaner to the test in your bathroom as part of your spring cleaning, you're feeling game for other tasks? Great. Because there are all kinds of little tweaks you can make to help the stuff you already own last you much longer. Think K-cups of cleaner you can run through your Keurig like your normal coffee routine, an electric fabric defuzzer you can take to your worn upholstered couch, and even a jean button replacement kit so you don't have to go through the humiliation ritual of jeans shopping to replace a beloved pair. So we're not just spring cleaning, we're spring *refreshing* in 2026!

Psst, the last time I was in a thrift store, I saw three Keurigs that all had "I work!" signs on them, so if you ARE in need of a replacement I suggest trying that and cleaning with these cups! 

Promising review: "Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

Promising review: "Awesome deal for such a powerful cleaning tablet. Works very well for my espresso machine. I use it weekly for back flushing and keeping my screen clean and functioning correctly. Definitely recommend!!" —Outflying

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and the house toolbox." —BBP623

Promising review: "So I actually tested these bags because I’m a skeptic by nature.

I took three organic bananas:• one in a Debbie Meyer bag• one in a 24/7 Fresh Pack• and one left completely unbaggedAfter 6 days, the difference was obvious:• The unbagged banana was brown and soft.• The Debbie Meyer one was slightly better but still spotty and mushy.• The 24/7 Fresh Pack banana looked the best — firm, yellow, and way fresher.I’ve repeated this with berries, greens, potatoes, avocados… same story every time. These bags are simply better quality and actually WORK. Highly recommend if you’re tired of throwing money away on spoiled produce. Plus, they are much sturdier than any other bags I tried and reusable." —Anastasia Talan

Once you invest in this, make this a part of your weekly cleaning routine.

Promising review: "This brush is stiff but flexible enough to feed under my dryer's lint filter. Several weeks ago a trouble light came on that indicated the air flow in my dryer was becoming obstructed. I had the dryer vent and area under the lint filter cleaned. (Not much lint was pulled out, so maybe the dryer sensor gave a false alarm.) I felt a small investment in a brush such as this is better than paying for a future vent cleaning. I've been using it once a week and it picks up a little lint each time, but that's lint that won't have a chance to build up in the dryer vent!" —blueskys

Promising review: "I have to constantly wash pet bedding, and pads. And I use these before going to regular loads. I love that it is a 24-pack, because the ones I find in stores have like two. Saves me money and makes sure I have enough on hand to keep the washer clean, and fresh." —Melissa R. Johnson

Promising review: "Our dishwasher was NASTY. Totally disgusting. My husband wanted to buy a new one. I said let me see what I can do with this one because there is clearly an issue. This is after one cleaning, but I’m running it a second time due to the sheer filth of our family. I am so happy with the result so far. Awesome product!" —Ash

I've used this hack to get rid of coffee stains in white mugs with another brand's denture/retainer cleaners and found it's most effective when used with boiling instead of room temp water. 

Promising review: "Not only does it work perfectly on my grinder guard, but I used it on a water bottle and a coffee mug, and it was perfectly clean. Had a mint flavor, so that’s the only reason I washed them. Got the coffee stain out and everything." —Rachel 

Promising review: "I use this ultrasonic cleaner for my retainers and jewelry, and it works great for both. My retainers come out spotless and feel so fresh afterward. I also tried it with my earrings, and they look like new, so shiny and clean. The size is perfect, it is easy to use, and the pink color looks really cute on my counter. I am very happy with this purchase." —Aleksa

Promising review: "This stuff is everything it’s reported to be. My stove had burnt-on spills from a previous tenant. Stains all around the burners, and it looked awful. I was embarrassed for people to see my kitchen. I bought this for the oven, but decided to use it on the stovetop, never dreaming it would really work. It’s not just clean, it’s literally sparkling." —Patricia Spychala

Promising review: "I highly recommend this pine gel! I use it every day and love its versatility. For a deeper clean, I apply the gel directly, while for everyday use, I simply mix it with water as a multipurpose cleaner. I truly use it for everything in my home — it's become my go-to cleaning product. I use it as a laundry sanitizer to eliminate odors, in my floor mopping bucket, and for cleaning bathrooms, sinks, and my stove. I can't imagine my cleaning routine without it." —Lior mealem 

This was an impromptu purchase once I realized just how bad my circa-2018 Asos midi coat was looking. It was SERIOUSLY fuzzy, and I'd been walking around in it, not even realizing it. How embarrassing for me! So I took this fabric shaver to it while I finally watched Lost early this year. It's a little loud, but it did some WORK. Here's a pic of a sleeve where you can see the difference it's making and also a glamour shot of the gobs of lint and fuzz it's removed from the coat. And unlike with other fabric shavers, there's no guessing how much charge the battery has left. This gadget has a little % countdown that's clear to read. My beloved coat looks brand new!

Note that it's best to de-pill a sweater BEFORE you wash it because when cashmere is wet, the fibers detangle. 

Promising review: "The before after says it all, easy to use, very happy with the results on my big wool sweater. I look forward to trying on other fabrics!" —reader99

Promising review: "These Color Catcher sheets really protect colors from blending. It makes all clothes/laundry brighter and looking like new — not that old, washed color after just one wash without these sheets. I give this product 5+ stars. Highly recommend. A few pennies spent additionally on your laundry makes one look like wearing new clothes all the time." —Nikita

Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

Promising review: "I have a few designer bags. I never really thought to use any cleaner to clean it, but the Louis Vuitton seemed dirty looking, so I decided to try this product, and it really amazed me. It exceeded my expectations! Doesn’t have any strong smell and really cleans your leather! Definitely recommend!!" —Mabel & Grayson

Promising review: "These are SUCH a game changer. We rent, so I can't do much about the loose outlets around the house. These have made several outlets usable again!" —Minerva G.

Promising review: "I am a middle-aged antiquer who loves wood and authenticity. This product rejuvenates aged wood leaving the antique finishes in place. It really does just hydrate and polish your wood. We literally were running around the house arguing over who got to hold the bottle as we treated all of the wood in our home. The transformation is unbelievable! We are so happy with it we ordered three more right away and are planning a wine/polish weekend. Everything it touches turns out amazing, from my grandmother's 150-year-old wood-framed mirror to our 40-year-old china hutch. There is not a better product on the market. Buy this, you will not regret it." —K.A.S.

Solemates is a US-based small business specializing in shoe care products. 

Promising review: "I purchased the narrow pair to wear with some high heels to my friend's wedding as a maid of honor. I also purchased some for the bride. These are amazing and did not pop off once! Everyone was asking me how in the world are my heels not sinking into the grass. They didn't notice the clear protectors until I pointed them out. This invention is genius and I definitely did not sink into the grass! Totally worth it, especially if you have expensive heels that you do not want to ruin! As for the bride's expensive shoes, they were definitely saved!!!" —swt caroline

Promising review: "Amodex took ink out of my expensive scrubs. A pen leaked in my pocket and made a thick glob of ink stain on the scrub jacket and a little on the pants. After using the Amodex and washing in cold water, there is no evidence of a stain, and the fabric looks exactly how it looked before the stain. There was no damage or discoloration of the fabric. Thank you, Amodex. This product just saved me the $75 that it would have cost to replace the scrubs." —Michelle hammer

This pumice stone cleaner is free of chemicals and odors. It also has a heavy-duty plastic handle so you'll have a solid grip while you clean. Use gentle back-and-forth motions to remove stains and deposits from inside the toilet bowl, and voila!

Promising review: "It really does work on the toughest hard water stains. It really is like magic. I used it for all my toilet bowls. However, a couple of notices you should know before buying: 1) You need patience, especially if your toilet bowls have very old stains. It took me 30 minutes of constant grinding, and I used the entire stick. 2) Do not push down on the stick aggressively; it will break in half, and I had to use it by hand. Cleaning power is incredible. I recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I wear black scrubs five days a week. LIFESAVER! Love these so much. Literally just swipe five to six times with dry sponge and it’s like magic. 25 stars!" —JY

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $8.23.

Promising review: "This totally worked. Been walking on my repaired boot for a month now, and it’s still glued back together. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the glue dries white (not clear), and I had to use a Sharpie so it didn’t look ridiculous. Way better than buying new boots, though!" —Elicia

My coworker Jenae Sitzes swears by this: "I finally tried out this tool with my Crave Naturals brush, which I used for (*checks Amazon order history*) TWO YEARS without ever doing a deep clean of it. I mean, sure, I would regularly pull out the loose hair and whatever I could get to using my fingers, but there was always this gross layer at the bottom I couldn't reach, and I kind of just tried my best to pretend it wasn't there. LET ME TELL YOU: This tool is genius. With barely any effort, it pulled out that gross, years-old layer of *stuff* at the bottom of my brush (the photo above shows that layer already ~dislodged~ by the tool, right before I pulled it out), and now I don't have to feel disgusting every time I run it through my hair. It actually feels like it's doing a better job of *brushing* now too! Seriously, if you are a human with brushable hair on your head, you need this.

Note: It's worth giving your hair brush a good rinse with soap after that layer of hair and lint is pulled away! I didn't find it was necessary to soak my brush before using the tool." 

This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty free, and paraben free.

I've used Ecotools brush cleaning shampoo for years, and it makes cleaning my brushes so much easier. I just add a bit of the shampoo to my brush and gently rub it against a silicone mat under running water, and it makes quick work of removing all the makeup that's built up on my brush for, frankly, way too long. You'll see the water start running brown immediately, which is always super gross but also really satisfying, and once you see your brush return to its original color, you know you're done. And the bristles are always left as soft as before too!

Promising review: "I've been skeptical about items that seem like glorified soap but got it as a gift. This cleaned my brushes like nothing else, with just a drop, a few seconds of spreading it around, and literally about 10 seconds of swishing in warm water. It was unbelievable. It took out weeks of caked-on 24-hour concealer and foundation, and left my brush soft and fluffy like it were brand new. I will always use this (and my brushes will always be clean!). It's nothing short of miraculous." —Chloe

Fellow BuzzFeed writer Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more information!

Promising review: "I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been, if I didn't have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, and put beer cans inside of them and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks layovers), and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed too. It could have ended up a nightmare but it didn't! My boots still have a little ways to go to be fully broken in, but definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever." —lauren

Promising reviews: "These are the best. Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Won't buy those anymore, and these will last me a very long time. I scrubbed, and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." —miguel mendez

"I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics, or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie

Lots of reviewers use them on outdoor furniture, too!

Promising review: "Have a look at these cushion covers! They are great quality and look amazing. Best invention ever! I bought the taupe, but wish I'd chosen the beige instead. Not a deal breaker, so kept them. But these are waterproof and washable! I have dogs, so this sure helps to protect my new sofa!!" —Laurica

Slobproof is a woman-owned small business.

Promising reviews: "Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." —Elizabeth

"Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." —Hooked on AMZN!

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.79.

It comes with two stands/caps and six adapters to fit any size bottle. Just make sure it's a bottle that can actually be squeezed, since it won't work with totally solid bottles.

Promising review: "We have often wasted moisturizer that we simply can't get out of the bottle. If the top has a funny (nonflat) shape, you can't turn the bottle over to let the moisturizer drain toward the cap. With this simple idea, you can screw it on, turn the container over and use every drop. It's a simple but efficient method for getting the most out of your moisturizer, shampoo, and conditioner. In the end, it's a money saver!" —Having Fun

It can be used on leather shoes, accessories, interiors, furniture, upholstery, saddles, jackets, and tack.

Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey, and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David Horning

The kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper to make it a quick and easy job.

Promising review: "Works on my new range and cleans up beautifully so that my cooktop looks as shiny and clean as it did the day it was installed. Follow the directions exactly, and you can't go wrong. Very easy and quick to use. Not a lot of cleaner is needed, so the bottle will last a long time. I clean the cooktop with this almost every day, and I find that it cleans better than with regular cleaner." —Darcy

Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in three styles).

Promising review: "It feels like carrying a new purse again! Look at that hardware sparkle! I used a cotton swab to clean the hardware and only used a very small amount at a time, so it did not get into the leather." —Curious007

Reviewers say it also worked great on their Louis Vuitton locks and belt buckles.

Promising review: "I have always purchased handbags with lots of pockets and sections because I hate having to dig around trying to find something in the gaping hole of purses with no sections. I purchased this medium size organizer, and I couldn't be happier!! It is very well-made, and it has so many great pockets to organize everything I need. THE BEST PART is, I can easily lift it out of one purse and put it into another one, and I always know where everything can be found. I wish I had gotten one of these years ago. When I first ordered this organizer, I didn't realize it had two zipper compartments on each side, and I was tickled to discover even MORE storage!!! With all the fun colors and patterns, it was hard to select one, but I've always been partial to polka dots. I love it and can't imagine anyone not being has pleased with this as I am!" —Ronna

Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging!

Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X, and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out, and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear, and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong

Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." —Spencer

Promising review (for the pic on the right): "I used the bucket dying method on a white 100% cotton dress I bought from a thrift store. It worked perfectly. No blotchy bits or anything to give away that this dress was ever anything but yellow. The key is to follow the instructions. You'll want to use a cup of salt and a little squirt of soap with your hot water, and make sure everything is completely dissolved before dying your fabric. Also pre-wet the fabric. The RIT website has very clear instructions with various methods of dying. I highly recommend RIT dye." —Loren

It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few months ago I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out!

Promising review: "So….my son pays no mind to the amount of grease that he is covered in while working in the farm shop. 🤣😂 I had basically said these jeans are work jeans now!!! I am amazed at how these look after two washes!! If you haven’t ordered it, go do it now!!" —Mommyof20607

Promising review: "What can I say, never sew another button on your pants again, These are sturdy and easy to install. I use them on jeans and I've used them on shorts and khakis, too." —J R

These are also great for creating a custom fit if you have trouble finding your exact size in stores.

Promising review: "These have been amazing during my pregnancy. I really can't rave enough. When my body started changing, I went out and bought a new bra (I'm a 32 and got a 34), but soon it started feeling tight on me. I didn't need another bra because the cups still fit fine, then I found these extenders, and they made all the difference! I can extend without buying new bras! They are sooo soft and comfortable, you can't really feel or tell they are there. I've already recommended them to all of my pregnant friends!" —Mari

Promising review: "This was my first time tie-dyeing and this kit was very simple to use! The instructions are very clear and everything needed is included in the kit. I did have some tiny clumps of dye on my shirt, but I turned it inside out before starting so you can’t hardly see them when the shirt is worn. I did avoid the black dye as another review had issues with that one, so I have no feedback on the black. Overall, excellent kit and my experience makes me want to tie dye more! —Emily

Promising review: "There are the best things ever. I have jeans that fit great but the waist is always too loose. So I saw these on TikTok, and I was so curious to see if they worked or not. But seriously, you need to buy these, the buttons are great material and just the most useful things overall." —Alexa Botello

It has four sides: one to clean heavier scuff marks and stains, one to gently clean fine suede and light scuff marks, one to clean rounded corners, and one to clean hard-to-reach crevices and grooves.

Promising review: "I was really sad when I thought my bucks were at the end of their road, because I had always heard that suede couldn't be cleaned. With this brush and a little elbow grease my bucks are looking great again! I didn't use any water or cleaner, I just kept wiping the brush off on my jeans to keep the brush clean, then hit the shoe again with a clean surface. It even brightened the leather up a bit." —Roberto

Promising review: "Was easy to attach. I had to bring it forward a little so it would get a little more light in front. The only complaint is that it shows every bit of dust and debris in front. Now, instead of taking a few minutes to vacuum, it takes a while longer, but when I am through, the floor is clean. I am satisfied." —Radford swindell

It can also be used to help discourage smaller animals from hiding under furniture!

Promising review: "The toy blocker does exactly what is says it will do. It sticks well to our laminate floor and blocks my son's toys from going under the couch. Only problem is I had to buy two in order to cover the entire length of our couch. I do have to say it was worth the doubled price so I would recommend the blockers to anyone who has kids or dogs!" —amanda c

The shields can adhere to a variety of surfaces so whether your sofa is polyester, cotton, or acetate-based fabric, you're good. Just note it's not meant for use on leather. 

Promising review: "I have two cats and these shields work amazingly. They have an adhesive backing, which is really easy to take off. Also, they’re easy to cut to the size needed if you have an awkward arm or something on your chair. They absolutely repel my cats from even trying to scratch as they're made from a hard plastic. I love that it’s not the double sided sticky kind so there’s no hair or anything sticking to it." —Mya Ramirez

Promising review: "Very nice, easily cleanable mats. I just take them out of the car and wash them with the car washing brush. I wish I had bought them sooner instead of wearing out two sets of those chintzy synthetic carpet mats which never really came clean in my dusty rural area and allowed my right heel to wear a hole in them after only a couple of years of driving. Even a blob of shoe goo didn't last long, and looked dumb." —Critical Thinker

Promising review: "Amazing polish. I was skeptical. But I figured for a few dollars, what did I have to lose. My silver was very tarnished as I’ve had it in the family for decades and figured it was time. The pictures don’t do it justice. I literally put a dot on the cloth and rubbed (barely) and it came out spotless!!! Highly recommend! Wish I knew about this sooner. I put before and after photos side by side so you could see the difference but honestly, in person, it’s soooo much more drastic." —David M. Drass

Works on stains ranging from grass, salt, grease, red wine, ketchup, ink, blood, and underarm sweat with minimal effort. Can use on nylon, leather, linens, upholstery, clothing, walls, carpets, and more!

Promising review: "Works on grease, ground in dirt, old stains on my grandsons clothing which I have no clue of what are, spaghetti sauce etc.. I get a lot of use out of each bar. I've used on every type of fabric with great results and no damage to the fabric. Highly recommend." —jb59

You simply squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and gasp in horror at all the ear goop. 

Promising review: "I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I've had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using cotton buds to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there's stuff built up and hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five minutes to clean each ear bud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product. You don't need a full square to clean them, so you can pull a piece off or reuse a square with a side you haven't used! SO happy I found a solution!" —Amazon Customer
