I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.19 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). Promising review: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning. Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor. Picture 3: After cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter Promising review: "During late summer and through the fall, we usually are hit with many more bugs than normal. And if I drive, these bugs get stuck on the front bumper and even the back of the outside mirrors. This cleaner made cleaning off the bugs much easier to do than the week before when I was trying to remove bugs from my husband's car with just soap and water. In addition, this left my car shiny, as if it had just been waxed and water beaded on it. The soap and water on my husband's car did not do that. I am certainly pleased and will be purchasing this again when I have used up the contents of this bottle." —SC Girl Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes). It comes with four sets in different dimensions so they can hold different size garments. Promising review: "I hemmed and hawed over this while it spent months on my wish list. My top dresser drawer was full to the brim with bras, undies, socks, and tights and I kept using the same few items that were always on top. I was afraid not all my undergarments would fit but finally, I had little choice and ordered this in pink. Oh my! I’m in LOVE! I feel like one of those uber-organized TikTok moms every time I pull the drawer open. Super easy to set up and fill. If you have too many socks or tights or undies each well can fit more than one on top of each other. The included pieces fit perfectly in a standard tall bureau which I had been concerned about. Take the plunge, you’ll be super glad you did!" –Chrissquasi Get it from Amazon for $13.97 (available in seven colors). Promising review: "According to the instructions, I was supposed to use the whole bottle, but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s, and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo, you can see that there is still some rust left over, but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." —Nicole Promising review: "I have a small apartment, and the broom closet was always a mess, with the brooms hitting me in the face whenever I took the trash out. This saved me so much stress! The slots have little rollers, and they move to fit just about any size mop or broom. There are also little hooks that can drop down if you want to hold towels or the dustpan, which is what I use it for. This is a must-have organizational tool!" —Jacqui Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a pack of two). 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 $23.99+ (available in three colors). Promising review: "I love love love this mop. I just cleaned all six rooms/floors in my place. In the past I would have used like 10 disposable cloth pads for the same job. With this mop I never had to touch the microfiber mop head when it got dirty. I just spin the dirty water out and, let me tell you, it still looked clean when I was all finished cleaning my floors. I always love products that are simple, sustainable, and cost effective. One thing I'd wish is that the handle was a tad longer, but I can get used to it since it is otherwise fabulous." —Aspiring Veganista There's absolutely no installation required, this puppy simply slides right onto the shelves! Promising review: "Cannot believe I lived without these. These are seriously amazing! I cannot believe I waited so long to buy these and get my closet in order. Great price and came with eight in the package! Slipped on my shelves easily without any damage. They hold my clothes in place and give me so much more room!" —Cher Kachelmuss Get a set of eight from Amazon for $27.89 (also available with removable hooks or in a set of four or ten). 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 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 H. Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "This item is pricier than the other options, but if you want something that will do the job and last, stop looking and just purchase this. There are plastic structures built into the sides, and plastic bases that you can easily pop in and out, so you feel comfortable stacking them even if one may not be full. These things fit quite a few of my bulkiest jackets and then some. I'm very pleased with this product!" —Iona C. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $29.99. BTW, one cartridge can last up to three months! Promising review: "I am so tired of spending money on brush heads to clean the toilet bowl. I bought this for our guest toilet. The toilet bowl has been perfectly white and clean for months now. I just bought another one for the other toilet in the house. It should take less than 10 minutes to install, even with trouble. Highly recommend for a clean toilet bowl." —John Glynn Promising review: "This really loosens the old dirt and grease on wood furniture. I used it on headboards that haven’t been fully cleaned in 60 years. It does require elbow grease, but not as much as the other wood cleaners. I used it a on a secondhand desk we bought and layers of dirt and grime came off in one swipe." —Paul Baxter Promising review: "Let me start off with this: I hate folding laundry. I absolutely hate it. I've seen this thing all over social media. I decided to try it out, and OH. MY. GOSH. I freaking love it! It's super easy to use, and my clothes are perfectly folded every time. As weird as it sounds, I actually look forward to folding my laundry now. I wish I had purchased this sooner! I like the design it has, and I love how compact it is. After I'm finished folding my laundry, I just fold up the folding board and tuck it away! It's lightweight and seems durable. I recommend this to everyone, even those who hate folding clothes. I was skeptical at first, but after trying it out, I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and this product! It's worth every penny!" —Kayli Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in five colors). The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse! Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl This includes an adjustable handle that extends from 24 to 49 inches, a regular short handle, a fluffy duster, and a bendable chenille and microfiber duster. Promising review: "Perfect for my needs. Love the telescoping design and that it has no protruding joints that would prevent it from fitting underneath furniture with low clearance. Reaches under, behind and around all the tight spaces I can't get to without moving heavy furniture around. The duster is also very lightweight and can handle delicate situations." —Sjay Get it from Amazon for $16.96 (also available in a two-pack). Tidywrap is a small business established in 2022 that specializes in adhesive cord organizers. Note: these are meant for use on appliances only; the adhesive is removable but may harm paint or wallpaper upon removal. Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action. Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand, saying, 'This is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.95 (or a four-pack for $19.95). Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! You can clean both sides of two blinds at once and grip them firmly to get ALL of the dust off. Plus, it comes with five covers, so that no matter how dirty your blinds are, you'll be able to finish dusting your whole house! I also love that you can wash the covers and don't have to waste money on refills." —Sarah You can scrape off grime, grease, labels, stickers, dried-up food, candle wax, and so much more! Promising review: "This is the greatest cleaning tool invented! I love it! I had tried every tip to get rid of the hard-water buildup around my sinks and this little gizmo gets rid of it in a breeze. Everyone should have one. So simple and so brilliant." —Debra J. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a five-pack). Promising review: "Works like a charm! These are pretty cool! I was a little skeptical but I followed the easy-to-use directions and it worked just like the product said it would. Foamed up and cleaned the drain!! Smell removed!!" —Jennifer K Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $7.56. Promising review: "Didn’t think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn’t think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." —thekuan Promising review: "10/10, would recommend. Got this initially for cleaning up the hair in my salon. It works perfectly! I love it. It’s so easy. This is AMAZING!!" —Alyssa Get it from Amazon for $189+ (available in two colors). 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 $7.99 (available in two styles and multiple packs). Promising review: "I must admit I ordered this as a last hope. I had a mark on my bedside table that I tried various things to remove, but was totally unsuccessful. I tried this today, and there is NO sign of the mark. It is like brand-new again. I was thrilled with the result and highly recommend it to anyone, but would suggest you try it first to save yourself grief! It is inexpensive in the first place, but to know I can reuse it if necessary on another mark, (hopefully that doesn't occur, but life happens), makes it an even better value." —Kritik The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries that aren't included, but you can buy some right here! Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Selmer Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two styles). Promising review: "These are great if you have limited bathroom storage. You can put several items in each drawer. They are easy to pull in/out and if you want to take the drawers out completely to remove the basket they aren’t stuck on a track, which I like. Great quality materials, sturdy, and easy to clean." —ee Safe for use on tile, ceramic and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas! 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 $6.99+ (available in two sizes). 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 it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in six color packs). A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review: "Found this product on TikTok. I don’t think I’ve ever seen value as I do in this product! Literally, use it on EVERYTHING!! Kids and teens have dirt, grime, and grease on their walls? This will make it look like a new paint job. Baseboards need some love? A pea-sized amount of this makes them look brand new. Need a shoe cleaner? PERFECT for sneakers. I could name a million more uses, but I can ASSURE you this is worth every penny. What’s more? You need so LITTLE of this product that it will last a VERY long time. Thank you, TikTok!!!" —Rachel in CLT Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available as a two-pack and with or without a scrubber). Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio, and I tried Dawn and the Dawn Powerwash. Neither touched it. 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 up! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —Susan It also comes in a version just for knives. Promising review: "I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmothers silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Magpie Promising review: "Bought a new refrigerator and I missed my deli drawer. I purchased this as a way to store deli cold meat. I’m so glad I bought it." —wendy Get one from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a two-pack). Spice racks only *wish* they could. These drawer liners are made of a soft foam to keep your jars in the right position (label up!) so you can quickly grab what you need. And you can trim them to fit your drawers! Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!" —momonono Get a 10-foot roll from Amazon for $19.99. Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? This is the best invention ever. Very easy to assemble and fit my cabinet easily. Buy this, you won't regret it!" —Kindle Customer Oh Yuk is a family-owned small biz based in Minnesota that sells home cleaning products Promising review: "This cleaner is amazing! Just 4 ounces cleaned the pipes like nothing else I have tried! The results are immediate and very effective. I will only use Oh Yuk in the future." —Gadget Specialist Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two sizes). Covogoods is a Utah-based, woman-founded small business that specializes in storage solutions crafted from up-cycled books. Promising review: "This is perfect for hiding our router and accessories in our bookcase. Love it!" —supergirl Get it from Covogoods on Amazon Handmade for $29+ (you'll choose your customizations before adding to your cart!). 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 18x18. 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 Get a purifier that can cover up to 1095 st. ft spaces from Amazon for $84.99 (available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). You can also get a mini size for up to 240 sq ft. for $49.99. Promising review: "I hate vacuuming. When I had to vacuum as a teen, I’d lie on the floor and cry. While I’ve grown less dramatic as an adult, my loathing of vacuuming has not decreased. Alas, I have two dogs, two cats, two men, and a crepe Myrtle tree. Vacuuming must be done regularly. I’ve had a Dyson for several years, but it decided it’d had enough last week. Ordered this guy on Friday. Y’all! Apparently, my Dyson hasn’t sucked in quite some time. I got up so much hair and dirt. I think my rug is a different color. Definitely helped with the dog smell. It’s lighter than my Dyson and holds three times as much. Buy one. You won’t be sad." —Shannon Miller Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (available in four colors). It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing! Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entirely new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." —Customer Get it from Amazon for $139+ (available in two styles). * Low-Effort Ways To Keep Your Home Like, 90% Clean All Through Spring * I’ve Got You Covered With These Elite Cleaning Products * Products Parents Swear By For Keeping Their Homes (Mostly) Clean And Organized * Stop Procrastinating On Cleaning Your Bathroom, And Use These Products * If A Stain Has Been Bothering You *Forever*, Check Out These Tried-And-True Stain Removers * Places You Should Probably Clean And Definitely Haven't * People Who “Hate” Cleaning Swear By These Products, And You Will Too Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
