Automatic toilet cleaning tablets, a fast-acting power mop, a self-cleaning litter box, and other things that'll do most of the hard work for you.

Promising review: "Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced properly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because the dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." —DonnaMarie113

Promising review: "These tablets start working within 15 minutes of putting them in the tank — very effective! They keep the toilet looking fresh and clean without any scrubbing. One tablet lasts about 10 days, which is pretty good for regular maintenance. Easy to use and a great way to keep the bathroom smelling clean." —JimK

The set comes with one bottle of solution, two mopping pads, and two AA batteries.

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 it needs 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 was 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." —A. Mitchell

Promising review: "Even though I drink filtered water, I still have bottles that smell after a lot of use and cleaning. I love this bottle because it automatically cleans itself every few hours. If I have questionable water, I can also use that mode. It smells great inside, the water tastes very good, and it stays very cold." —amazongroupie

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

For best results, start by dampening the waffle weave cloth and rubbing it on your surface. Then go in with the (dry) smooth one to polish away any streaks. When you're done, you can toss them in the wash so they're ready for next time! 

Promising review: "I absolutely NEVER leave reviews but I just have to rave about this product! I used this to clean my very very old stainless-steel coffee maker and oh my goodness. I don’t think it’s been this spotless since it was brand new. These towels are incredibly easy to use and they are such great quality. They work incredibly well on glass and mirrors as well. They leave behind ZERO streaks and they make cleaning quick and painless. I also love that they just need water. Saves me lots of money on harsh cleaning products! Can’t recommend more!" —Kerry Broker

Promising review: "I've been using the steam cleaner for almost two weeks now, and it works perfectly for light daily cleaning. It's lightweight, practical, and easy to use, and it doesn't take up much space, which is ideal for quick cleanups. It's very powerful for its size and heats up quickly. It's fantastic for cleaning countertops and surfaces, all without chemicals. The included accessories are very useful. Perfect for light to medium cleaning tasks." —Cristina García

Broombi is a small business that specializes in household cleaning and pet hair-removing products. 

Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable and stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer

Get it from Amazon for $27.96 (available in two colors). 

PSA: There's a chance that the included Velcro-like adhesive can become dirt-traps when the filters are removed. Also, some reviewers wrote that the adhesive peeled the finish off of their fan during removal. If you’re scared of that happening, you can install these filters with Command strips instead!

Promising reviews: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" —Haylee Marez

"We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them! There is less dust on our furniture, and the general air quality in our rooms has improved. There is no longer dust build-up on our fan blades. Super easy to install!" —Hannah McClam

Promising review: "This is my go-to granite cleaner and I’ve tried a lot! Actually gets counters clean without a film or streak and not a lot of elbow grease." —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $6.48 (also available as a pack of six).

Promising review: "I feel obligated to let readers know what an amazing vacuum cleaner this is. I have two indoor cats, neither of which is a long-haired cat. Some of my flooring is carpet, some is vinyl laminate, and some is tile. There is a button on the handle to switch between flooring types, and the vacuum handles each flooring surface with ease. There are some nice features for this vacuum. The dust cap is so easy to empty — just hold it over a trash bin and slide the button. The lid pops open, and the contents slide right out. The dust cap can be totally removed and washed, as can the filters. When vacuuming, the vacuum head slides easily under furniture, and the light on the vacuum head is handy for vacuuming in dark corners. The brushes in the head do not get tangled with hair the way the brushes in my Eureka vacuum did. I can’t begin to tell you how nice it is not to have to sit down and dig out hair wrapped around the rollers and brushes. The battery recharges relatively quickly with an indicator that flashes to let you know how much of the battery is charged. I can easily vacuum the ground floor of my home — two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, dining room, laundry room, and kitchen with battery to spare. I vacuum every week. I would recommend this vacuum to my friends and family. I would buy this vacuum again if I needed to." —Konza

Humble Suds is a Denver-based Etsy shop creating plant-based cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and come in cute packaging (Bonus!).

BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy has this and says, "Shortly after moving in to my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

Promising review: "Buyer beware: don’t buy just one!! Learn from mistake, and buy at least two jars because this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I used it on my textured shower floor and it was EASIER to clean, required less scrubbing, than any other product I’ve used, including CLR. If you have black matte bathroom fixtures, this is the stuff you need. My shower and sink drains look brand new. My other favorite part about this scour paste, is the fact that I don’t need to use any paper towels. Just a wet rag to wipe it all down at the end. I will be buying more jars for myself and to give to my friends because this stuff is absolutely amazing. You won’t regret it!" —littleashleyshortcak

Promising review: "This first caught my eye when I saw how chic and cute it is. Then I found out it actually helps sanitize makeup brushes! I wear makeup regularly, but to be honest, I don't clean my brushes frequently enough. I found it kind of frustrating to clean my brushes. Not sure why, but it always takes a REALLY LONG TIME for my brushes to dry. This is such a lifesaver, as I know I can sanitize my brushes every time I use them with just one click! I no longer have to worry about skin issues caused by dirty brushes! It also makes a great and cute gift. Very happy with this purchase." —Cyn

One reviewer mentions cleaning five sinks with just this one bottle! 

Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. 

Promising review: "Wow! I don't think I've ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner? I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I'd never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well." —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available as a pack of two). 

Promising review: "The reviews are not lying, this stuff is magic! My tank was absolutely disgusting. They say to let it sit overnight and you may need to do it again, but after only one hour, my tank looks almost brand new! There isn't a strong chemical smell, so I'm shocked by how well this worked and fast! It was super easy to use and worked faster than they even advertised. Highly recommend for an effortless clean!" —TECHnicallySmart

Just don't use it on any non-stick pans, of course — metal scratches 'em!

Promising review: "I love my cast iron skillet, but I always dreaded cleaning it, so it would make me think twice before deciding to use it over my regular nonstick pans. Turns out, this is what you’re *supposed* to be using to clean your cast iron skillet! The proof is in how simple and fast the cleanup is with this compared to other methods. I would recommend this to anyone with a cast iron skillet!" —B. T. Wade

Get it on Amazon for $17.99. And if you do get it, I recommend reading this review — I know it's long, but they offer some excellent advice on how to make the most of it.

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 are 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

Promising review: "We love to spend time outside but loathe cleaning up after our dogs. We've tried many things over the years but this has been the best. It's so quick and easy to clean up after them. I don't have to bend down anymore either (we used to use individual dog waste bags). Wish I would have found this years ago!" —sleak88

The hands-free cleaning cycle runs 20 minutes after your cat leaves the litter box, moving their waste to a leak-proof, odor-controlled, and disposable tray underneath. Also grab a bag of scoop-free crystal litter and tray refills, too. 

Promising reviews: "This litter box is a must for any busy family that struggles to keep up with the daily maintenance of having a cat and a litter box! It works well, and my cat is so happy always having a clean litter box." —Kelsey Decker

"I rarely write product reviews but this litter box actually made a huge difference for my house! I have had a cat for about 10 years who decides to do the number 2 about two feet outside the litter box. He has ALWAYS done this, no matter what type of litter or box. I even asked my vet about it, and his response was, "Some cats are just jerks"😂. Then I got this litter box. For the first time EVER, he does ALL of his business in the box! And there is no odor at all!! I love it so much I have two. Would highly recommend!!" —Emily Stokes

This isn't just for washing machines, you can use it pretty much anywhere — sinks, bathtubs, tiles, window sills, you name it!

Works on both fresh and dry stains, with no need for bleach or phosphates. It also works on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine, and pet accidents. Plus, it has a fresh citrus scent! Can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint, graffiti, and degrease surfaces.

Promising review: "I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it's still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it's become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have." —Melanie N

The starter kit comes with the wand, storage caddy, and six refill brush heads.

Promising reviews: "I’m so glad I purchased this Clorox toilet wand. Extremely easy to use. I love how great it deep cleans my toilet. Reaches areas the my normal toilet brush didn’t. The soft scent is just perfect!" —Liza Love

"I bought this wand to clean the toilet but found it also works great for showers and tubs. I love that I don't have to bend so much. Super easy to use! I still hate cleaning bathrooms, but this makes it so easy." —Michele McAmis

Get the starter kit from Amazon for $11.98.

Promising review: "I generally don’t write reviews, simply because most often I’m buying products with a ton of reviews anyway so mine wouldn’t really matter, but HOLY CANNOLI, I don’t care how many reviews this thing has, I’m FLOORED (pun intended). I vacuum almost daily with a cattle dog and a staffy in my house, and there’s always hair. I used this for the first time on my rug last night and I cannot BELIEVE how much hair this thing pulled up AND IT DIDN'T DAMAGE MY RUG. THIS THING IS AMAZING!!!! 100/10 stars!!" —Tabitha

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

Promising review: "Only within a couple of seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." —Sirena

Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98.

Promising review: "I was skeptical any air purifier at this price could do much, but I tried it! I have a medium-sized music room for record collections and playing those records etc. The room is about 18 x 18. I hate dealing with dust getting on the records and equipment. I took note of some dark items with dust on them first. Then, I cleaned those items to see if they would stay clean because it usually takes a few days to be covered again. I ran the Levoit at medium speed for two weeks solid, and those surfaces look just as clean as when I cleaned them. Does it work? Yes, it does! The lowest setting is pretty quiet, but the medium and high can be fairly loud. I turn it off during listening times." —Charles Tweedy

Promising review: "Where has this blind cleaner been for the past 50 years???? I have struggled to keep my blinds clean for so many years and happily found this item. It WORKS!!! And I love that it comes with extra sleeves, and the sleeves are machine washable. The handle is plastic, but I feel confident it won't break any time soon." —marionvgt

Promising review: "In my kitchen especially, the detailing on my cupboards and floor molding were starting to look like they could grow a garden in them. I saw a review for this tool, took a chance, and just completed two cabinet doors in 20 minutes that would have taken me forever by hand (toothpick, toothbrush, etc.). Love it!!! I learned not to press on it; the circulating bristles don't require any pressure. Just let them do the work. Can't wait to attack the baseboards and feel clean again." —Ms.Mac

The company that created this brush is a small business founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing himself harm.

These brushes fit with any drill, but if you don't have one, you can grab one here.

Promising review: "Of all things to clean in the house, the bathroom has to be my least favorite!! I would scrub and scrub and scrub to try and remove calcium deposit stains and soap buildup. It was like my workout for the day! Well after using my new Power Scrubber Drill Brush Attachment, OH MY GOSH!! I am obsessed!! I had so much fun using it. I seriously did not wanna stop cleaning. I did not work up a sweat this time and it was amazing to see the calcium deposit stain wash away along with the soap buildup. Seriously though, the different attachments came in very handy depending on where I was operating the drill. The angled corners of the tile walls were cleaned perfectly with the circular brush. Also, the circular brush was awesome for the drain too. The big scrub brush was spectacular on the bathtub itself while the little scrub brush worked well with the grout lines in the tile. The attachments were easy to put on and take off the drill. They were also easy to clean, dry and put away for the next time. The price was WELL worth the product. There truly is no reason not to make this purchase to make cleaning fun again!!" —Itz me Michelle

Promising review: "Holy geez, where was this all my life? This is the perfect crumb catcher/sweeper for your table. Do you have little ones who leave toast crumbs everywhere?

Here's why BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jessica Hall loves this:

"I ~hate~ vacuuming. It is very possibly my least favorite chore, so when it came time to make my wedding registry, this was one of the items I KNEW I needed to include. It makes my life soo much easier. We have three cats who shed (and tbh I suppose my hair is part of the problem as well) and it is such a hassle to try to keep up with vacuuming when the hair accumulates so quickly. Having this little gadget has been such a time saver. We usually just turn it on when we are leaving the house and it gets to work right away. I live in a three-story townhouse so we typically empty it between each floor since we have to carry it upstairs anyway (still desperately waiting for someone to invent a robot vacuum for stairs), so I can't attest to how much it can collect at once, but we've never had any issues with it handling each floor of our house." 

Promising review: "I am not a 'clean freak' by any stretch, but with two (hairy) dogs, I found myself sweeping/vacuuming on a daily basis. I've had this Eufy for close to two months, and I couldn't be more impressed. I always imagined robot vacuums were the pinnacle of lazy and would never do as good a job as a determined human, but I've run every test I can think of, and it never fails to impress. It not only stops the 'hair tumbleweeds' that hide under couches and the edges of your cabinets, but it also works as an effective floor duster, eliminating the finest particles that a broom would never catch. It's the best investment I've ever made in terms of home products." —zichik

Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in two sizes and styles).

Promising review: "Holy cow! The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't know about it sooner! I have three teenage daughters. My shower sees body oils, creams, hair dye, etc DAILY. Scrubbing once a week wasn't enough. The girls didn't always remember to use the daily shower spray. This stuff WORKS! I can see the difference after two uses two days in a row. Could see a change on day one. I think one more use will have my tub looking like I scrubbed with bleach for an hour!" —Jon W.

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and in multipacks).

Promising review: "Our coffee can start to taste funky after several uses. We run this through once, then two times with just water. Works great and coffee goes back to tasting like normal! It clears out any buildup that can affect the taste of your coffee. It is super easy and just as quick as making a cup of coffee." —Maine Customer

Promising review: "BEST DUSTER EVER!!! This is my second one, because my husband loved it so much and kept my first one for his game room and collectibles. The microfiber part is washable. Very convenient! This duster collects all the dust. You don't need to go over a spot unless it's something big you might be cleaning. No dust flies around in the air or is left behind like when you use a typical feathered duster. Yuck! We are so in love with our new dusters. Buy it. You won't regret it." —angelica

Get it from Amazon for $14.99. (If you have lots of high, hard-to-reach spaces in your home, they also make an expanding duster for $24.14).

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 to 100 single-use pads. 

Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I’m sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" —AKGross

Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99. 

Promising review: "This product was just the perfect little helper for fast and on-the-go cleaning of my car. It smells good for me and is very easy to use. Not sticky at all. I stretched and rolled it 10x prior to using it. It doesn't get hard or dry. Just put it back in the container after using it." —Amethyst 

After debris is collected into the vacuum's canister, an indicator light will turn on to let you know when the canister is full and ready to be emptied. Pull the canister out and dump the debris into the trash, taking care not to spill crumbs and dirt everywhere.

Promising review: "Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning, but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor... I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum, which is a bit of a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweep things into, and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." —Amazon Customer
