If it weren't for #7, I'd never do the dishes.

Promising reviews: "I bought these microfiber cloths because they hold up after repeated uses. They are just the right size for hand grasping. They are soft enough to clean without scratching my computer equipment and quartz countertops. They are highly absorbent, easy to machine-wash, and dry quickly. Reasonable price for the quantity and quality." —RSS

"I really like these microfiber cloths: they are super absorbent and soft, allowing me to give my kitchen, bathroom, and walls a real scrub down without worrying about scratching any surfaces. I like the three colors too: I can use certain color cloths for certain cleaning jobs." —E. Watson

Promising review: "I asked my husband to assemble and try out this duster. It works so well. It has an opening in the middle so the fan blades are dusted on both sides. He had cleaned three fans before he decided it worked well. It assembled easily, and I liked not needing a ladder to clean the fans. It reaches a long way, and although designed for fans, you could dust lots of other items. If you wanted to unscrew the handle, you could; they go back together easily, but it is more work than I want to do. I plan on storing them next to the brooms and mops. It is sort of like a dust mop, but for fans. It is well-made and very durable. I feel it is a great value." —Julie

Promising review: "Love this stuff! Smells great, cleans well, and a little bit goes a long way. Great solution for either quick spills or a deep cleaning without lugging a bucket of water around." —Jessica Lord-Kitzmiller

It comes with three reusable cleaning pads. The handle extends over 4 feet, so you can even use it to clean your crown moldings! 

Promising review: "I have a whole house of 5-inch baseboards. I had new carpet coming and was tired of moving everything, but I wanted my baseboards cleaned before and after the carpet install. This works, and I did not have to sit on the floor and slide around the rooms. Nor did I have to bend over until exhausted. There is a slight learning curve on the best angle and where to stand, but it works. It also allows you to get behind furniture." —Kindle Customer

Plus, it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth! Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz that sells cleaning products with safe and readable ingredient lists in the loveliest scents. 

Promising reviews: "This is the best stainless cleaner out there. I own a cleaning company and am a repeat buyer of this spray. I absolutely love this product, and it cuts my cleaning time in half, if not more. I keep a spare bottle on top of my fridge for quick cleans and have referred my clients to this cleaner as well." —Bookgurls24

"I was hesitant because other cleaners weren’t great. They either didn’t work or left a weird residue that dust would stick to. This cleaner doesn’t leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!" —Courtney B.

Promising review: "My parents have this system. I cook a lot, and my spices were scattered and hard to find. This probably explains why, when I finally got organized, I had doubles (ashamed to say triples as well) of some items. On a recent visit to my parents, I checked out their spice rack. As soon as I got home, I ordered two, and they worked wonderfully! Love the stickers!" —Jeffrey H.

Promising review: "I love Dawn Powerwash Free and Clear for my everyday kitchen cleaning. It works just like regular Dawn dish liquid, but the spray that turns into foam makes it faster and easier to use. I use it on counters, the stove, and even the refrigerator for quick wipe downs. It’s dynamite on dishes with stuck or sticky food. Just spray it on, let it sit for a few minutes, and it loosens everything up. The foam covers surfaces evenly and cuts through grease really well. It’s versatile and feels like getting two cleaners in one since I use it for both dishes and general kitchen cleaning. It has a light, clean scent and is gentle on my hands." —Margaret

Promising reviews: "This is exactly what I needed for cleaning hard-to-clean areas on kitchen tiles with pets." —Evelyn McLaughlin

"This is the best bathtub/shower cleaning tool I have found, and I’ve tried several brands. It’s the right shape for cleaning corners, the brush head is stationery so cleans easily without flipping around, and the handle circumference and lightweight make it comfortable to use, unlike using a popular brand that’s too heavy, and the brush head swivels and is impossible to control." —Chemac

Get it from Amazon for $15.59+ (available in three lengths).

Promising review: "Five stars all around! The product is of amazing quality, it smells so good, and actually works! I got this cleaner for my oven, but I also had a small pan to clean as well. I’ve only used it so far on the small pan, and I am super pleased. I washed this pan in our dishwasher twice, and nothing came off until I used this cleaner! Will be ordering again!" —Meredith

Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $30 (available in three scents and an unscented kit).

Promising review: "Incredible product! The photos and video speak for themselves. My ice maker was NASTY, and I was planning on throwing it out. I decided to give this cleaner a try as a last resort. It’s SO much cleaner! My ice maker looks almost brand new! I definitely recommend this cleaner!" —Lisa

Laha Corner is a small biz that specializes in macrame home goods. 

Promising reviews: "Love these! They are so great for organizing a small kitchen, very glad I got them. They even arrived early!" —Alyssa

"The hanging basket looks exactly like the photo! I was worried about having it hang by only stickers, but so far it's been holding great, and it's been a few weeks!" —Erica

Get it from Laha Corner on Etsy for $20.25+ (available in six options and with or without banana hanger). 

Promising review: "This is such a great cleaning cloth. I use it in the kitchen to wipe down everything — from stainless steel to countertops. It’s also great for windows. No streaks!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ for a six-pack (available in 10 colors).

Promising review: "We bought our house two years ago. Prior to us, it had been used and abused as a rental house for about a decade. Our porcelain kitchen sink was just disgusting. My husband tried his best when we first moved in to get it to even resemble the original white, but the bottoms were just permanently stained a tan color. I gave up. Installing a new sink was added to the to-do list. I saw this product on a BuzzFeed article and bought it on a whim; it was cheap, and I figured it couldn’t make the sink any worse. Holy crap! I’m absolutely blown away. I put a bit on the side with the disposal that was the most stained. I used a scrubbing brush drill bit on my power drill and went in a quick circle around the basin, 10 seconds tops. Boom. The sink was white. Not just white. The brilliant, bright original white it was supposed to be. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I went to town on both sides excessively for probably 10 minutes total, and my ugly sink looks shiny and white again. No more new sink for us. I couldn’t be more impressed." —Danielle

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in different sizes and packs).

Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's super easy to apply, and it gives instant results. You could see dirt dripping from the chandelier...gross. I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I’ve attached before and after one application photos (seen above)." —kmw

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Natalie Brown says, "I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling. 

"Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam and the adhesive, which came off in small pieces, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged."

Promising reviews: "This vacuum is very handy for small jobs — picking up a bit of cat litter off the floor, small dry spills in the kitchen, getting dust off baseboard, etc. Having the crevice tool and brush built right in is convenient, too; just flip open the one you need. Don’t expect this vac to pick up anything heavy; it’s very light-duty. But it’s perfect for when the regular vac is overkill." —C. Stahl

Promising reviews: "I used this on my stove top that had baked-on brown sugar sauce on it. The spill happened over five years ago, and I swear I've used everything from cleaners and scour pads to searching the internet for home remedies like baking soda — nothing worked. I sprayed this on and waited a few minutes, and was shocked when I started wiping it up. This stuff works! No icky smell, no heat, just sprayed it on and my 20-year-old stove looks brand new!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, in my naïve thinking, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. Little did I know that there was an actual cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. So, of course, I had to try it. Very simple instructions: it literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILÀ! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Let me say that anytime I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of those packs in the disposal, and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling through the sink was amusing to watch ;-). Worth every penny!" —VadersGirl

Get four from Amazon for $3.96 (available in two pack sizes).

Promising review: "This product can be a major kitchen product if you have issues with odors in your garbage disposal. We eat a lot of cereal for breakfast, and almost all of it is loaded with preservatives that turn into glue when they get wet. For two years, we could not get rid of a foul odor for more than a day or two. I purchased this as a last resort, but I only expected it to help a little. The first time I used it, I was amazed at how much gunk was brushed away and the odor was reduced." —C. D. Cornett

Promising reviews: "This stuff is pretty awesome. I needed to clean a badly stained white painted metal cabinet. The substance had dried and built up over time. No telling how long it has been like this. This Pink Stuff cut right through it! And the substance was so bad that it had permanently stained the painted surface. I'll definitely keep buying this stuff!" —Marla

"This cleaner took me by surprise. The cleaner left my counters super shiny and clean, along with other areas of the house that I cleaned. The cleanliness of the cleaner is worth the cost of your money. It foams well without being too thick and is very effective at getting the job done." —Angela Moore

"I love this Pink Stuff! I haven’t seen my stove this shiny and clean in many years, and it didn’t take much work either. It now stays sparkling because, with very little effort, I just wipe it down with a soapy microfiber cloth, then polish it dry each time I use it (after the burners cool down). I don't have to use the pink solution each time." —Chris

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (available in multipacks).

This scrubber comes with four AA batteries and two heavy-duty scrub pads.

Promising review: "Was frustrated with scrubbing grease spots behind the stove. And, a recent injury made it even more so. Thought I'd give this a try. So glad I did! Made grease-spot scrubbing so much easier. It is still a tedious, messy job, but so much easier with this scrubber. And my arm doesn't hurt. Since then, I've used it on a few other scrubbing tasks — pots, pans, bathtub, and cutting board. Saves lots of elbow grease. I'm sure I'll find other uses. Still using the same batteries it came with, which is also amazing." —Patricia Re

Promising review: "First off, I am an obnoxiously fanatic Godzilla lover, and as soon as I saw this, I knew I needed this lol. It works exactly as it's designed to do. Super easy to use. My microwave was pretty dirty, and I was struggling to clean it with other methods. My microwave has never been this clean since I got it out of the box!" —Isabel

Promising review: "My under-the-sink cabinet is the biggest space in my kitchen. The problem is that it’s deep, and the sink pipe is in the way. I wasted the space for a long time. With this product, I was able to configure items around the pipe. It was a little bit of a bear to put together. You have to figure out the space for each item, but that is also what makes this product so great. The added silicone makes it feel like your pans won’t be scratched up. The item feels really sturdy. I just moved into a place with the same under-sink configuration, and I didn’t even take it apart. I just slid it right back into place. I also like that I can break it up into two pieces if I ever need to reconfigure it. I think this is an organizational item that I will use and reuse for many years." —Ash

This kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaner, three cleaning pads, a grip pad tool, and a scraper.

Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine That Could. I love my glass-top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. 

This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product and home remedy suggestion, and it never removes the marks. 

After reading the reviews, I came across this product on Amazon and thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte and scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows, and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ hours of labor trying to clean the stovetop and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you're experiencing the same issue, try this — it’s incredible. 5 stars+++" —Implied Queens

Promising reviews: "Have never tried this type of cleaning sponge, but finally gave it a try with the 20-pack. Just attacked my kitchen — everything — and I'm blown away. I just ordered the 100-pack and am going to scrub my entire house, top to bottom! Amazing! So glad I finally tried these. I don't even have to try any of the much thinner ones to know this thickness is a winner. Great price, too, compared to the name brands, and even if any of them do a better job than these, I couldn't care less because these are stellar anyway! 27 cents a piece — I can use 'em up and toss 'em without a thought. *********** So now it's way later, and I was going to leave a review after my purchase of another 100-pack, but I forgot I'd already answered the request for a review. So, adding that they are still great. JUST GET SOME...they work and are awesome!" —Delores L. Cain

These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, ANYTHING. 

Promising reviews: "I wasn't expecting much from these, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I work on cars a lot, and I don't like wearing latex gloves as so many others do. As a result, my hands get DIRTY. I usually use the orange stuff, but I got tired of the grit and having to wipe it off with paper towels (I don't have a sink within easy reach). So I thought I would try out these cleaning towels. I have to say, I'm impressed! They don't have any 'grit' on them per se, but they are just rough enough that they easily scrape off whatever grease I have on my hands. I'm sold on these." —thatguy

"These are hands down the best kitchen/bathroom/shop wipes around. They are surprisingly strong and durable, and feel like actual cloth. They're also HUGE - easily 10" or 11" square. You may never buy those cheap and flimsy mass-marketed wipes from the major household brands again." —Ray Sterling

Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98.

Promising review: "BUY IT!! I absolutely love this. I should have taken a before picture of my pantry. It saves so much space. Got rid of all those bulky cereal boxes. The capacity is large and can hold a lot, depending on what you’re storing. It’s dishwasher safe, with an airtight lid to preserve food. Love that it comes in 4 sizes, with 24 pieces and 24 lids. It absolutely works wherever you need it. Made of plastic, not glass, which is a plus for me. Will buy another set. It can also be used for cooked food in the smaller bowls. Comes with labels for every container. The labels are not needed, but are aesthetically pleasing and can be reused and moved." —Freedom Lathrobe

Get it from Amazon for $29.43+ (available in two colors).

Promising reviews: "I love this cleanser! It’s safer for the household/environment than leading brands, and it works better, too! I have never seen my enamel tub and sink shine as much as when I use this product! A great price too! We also like to use this cleaner on stubborn pans." —Tina Rascon

"My mother used Bon Ami when I was little, and I have used it ever since I left home and had my own family. Whenever there's a tough cleaning job, this stuff works miracles around the kitchen and bath. My daughter-in-law had never heard of Bon Ami before, so I ordered some for each of them, and now they are hooked! It's safe to use and won't scratch sinks, stoves, pans, porcelain-lined pots, glass casseroles, and more. It's not recommended for glass, though I find it great on Pyrex, so just read the label. Three generations and counting. Highly recommend!" —Island Home

Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in multipacks).

Promising review: "After our housekeeper retired, we had to begin doing the dirty work. Our house is big, and mopping with a wet Swifter or even an old-fashioned mop is a major chore. This power rotary mop will clean a room in five minutes, whereas it would have taken 20 or so by hand. It's also easy to use, requiring little if any effort to move around. It literally took less time to mop the dining room floor than to move chairs and other stuff out of the way to mop. After I put chairs and other decor back, I moved the rug in the entryway, and it also took just five minutes to mop." —D. Herrick
