Sigh, OK, just pick up the Clorox ToiletWand and let’s begin.

Just want to start by saying it's no biggie that we're nearly a month into spring and you haven't started cleaning. That being said, here's a gentle reminder that things like The Pink Stuff, robot vacuums, foaming garbage-disposal cleaners, and duster sponges exist.

I needed to discover what all the hype was about and tried this out on my own bathtub and, ya know what? It really does work well! It scrubbed a ton of dirt particles off my tub walls (yuck, but what do you expect when you bathe two kid-sized gremlins who play in sandboxes all afternoon in there?). I didn't use any additional cleaning products with it, just the formula that was built into the sponge! I did scrub kind of aggressively, and my hand hurt a bit from gripping so hard onto the handle, but my tub was shiny and clean when I was done!

Promising review: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne

Promising review: "I have tried every single thing, including a professional window cleaner, to get my shower door clean. Nothing worked; I tried it all. This worked like there was magic fairy dust in it or something! I used a small, round scrub brush and used circular motions. Let it sit for five minutes and rinse it off. I wish I had taken pictures before! Trust me, it was awful!!! 20 years of water stains, etc., are completely gone. My shower looks brand new! Buy this stuff, you will not be disappointed!!!" —Tracy F.

Get it from Amazon for $15.77+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Cleaned three items in less than five minutes. Vacuum brush head and two hair brushes that have three girls' long hair. I can’t wait to get the whole vacuum and rug cleaner bristles cleaned. I had to write this review after testing it out. Design is strong, sturdy, and handles great. Highly recommended." —Rob

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

Promising review: "My kids clogged the sink drain with those small gel balls often used for flower arrangements. Nothing could clear it and were impossible to remove. However, this product worked wonders! The foam pushed the gel balls out through the sink’s overflow hole, and the drain was completely cleared. I ended up using it on all the sinks and even the bathtub drains, and it worked perfectly everywhere. Hair clogs, slow drainage—everything was cleared effortlessly. I’m beyond satisfied with this product!" —Tatiana

Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok (don’t judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you’re left with a clean sink! I use it with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend it for weekly maintenance." —Jessica Hamilton

After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.

Promising review: "I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with the use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazingly so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet, so we’ll see how that goes. Overall, very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa

Promising review: "I’m really glad I did. This is so easy to use. It’s so quick and easy and removes really tough stains, and it smells great. I have already used it to clean the inside glass of the oven and to remove stubborn stains on my bathroom tiles that my regular bathroom cleaner couldn't remove. Really good product." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "The ChomChom Roller really works. I have two German shepherds who shed SO much, so this was necessary. The ChomChom Roller picked up SO much fur that the vacuum couldn’t." —Ezra Gordon

"I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in black and in a mini size).

Promising review: "Bear is only 7lbs. He’s little. I got this much hair (pictured above, left) off of him in less than five minutes. It’s my first long-haired dog and my first shedding season with him. I’m so happy with this tool. He likes it too! His coat feels great!" —Erin Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in four colors).

You can also use it on carpets, bedding, cloth diapers, etc.

Promising review: "Did your child wipe blueberries on you? Dealing with spit up, or even throw up? Was there a poop catastrophe? Look no further than Puracy Instant Spot Remover! I am a big fan of this product and use it as a pretreatment before washing. It has a nice, sweet smell that is not overpowering, and it works quickly. The ingredients are clean too, which is a huge plus. It's so hard to find products that are clean but actually work! I buy the refills because that is more cost-effective than buying the spray bottles over and over. I totally recommend it for any stain!" —Ashley

This plant-based cleaner will remove streaks, smudges, and fingerprints from all stainless steel surfaces — sounds very therapeutic to me! Additionally, Therapy Clean is a small business!

Promising review: "This is by far the best stainless steel cleaner I have ever used. So easy to apply and I wipe it off with a clean microfiber cloth. It lasts months and I have twin toddlers that are always touching my appliances. No finger prints at all. I highly recommend. Completely safe , no chemicals. Great product." —Martha

My husband asked for this mop for Father's Day a few years ago and has been telling everyone in his life about it ever since. He adores it! It's so easy to use, it's lightweight, and he has no issue squeezing the water out with the spin tool. It's worked wonders on our wood floors!

Promising review: "I never thought a mop could change my life! This mop cuts at least half an hour off my cleaning time, and since I can ring it out so well, it does a fabulous job on my hardwood floors without worrying about puddles of water, which could do damage! The triangular design is great for corners, too! I also like how I can toss the head in the washing machine to clean it. I would highly recommend this mop!" —kh2023

BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer is a fan, "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far 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 had low expectations for this. But I'm really happy to find that they do work really well for a much better price than the name brand. It's pretty much the same as the name-brand Damp Duster, except that the grooves are slightly wider. Dusted tops and fronts of my cabinets in about five minutes, but I'm most impressed with how well it removes pet hair from my couch and clothes, even better than sticky rollers. I have Pomeranians blowing out their winter undercoats, so it's my new fav thing." —onon

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color packs).

Promising review: "I needed a new toilet brush that would fit in a confined space and didn't tip over easily. The BOOMJOY toilet brush is stylish — if that is an adjective that can be used to describe a toilet brush — functional, and compact. The silicone bristles seem to do the job they were designed to do." —Snowlady

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors).

I own and cherish this product. It's a dream knowing the "brush" is fresh and hasn't been intimate with the inside of my toilet before I pick it up again. This set comes with the wand and 16 refills.

Promising review: "The primary reason I decided to purchase the Clorox Toilet Wand was so I could clean under my toilet rims, which I noticed was definitely getting neglected via using the standard toilet brushes to clean. Initially, I was looking for a toilet brush that could actually GET under the rim, and that's how I found out about it. Now that I've used it... I can say without a doubt that I'll never go back to a regular brush. I like the cleanliness of disposable brushes compared to a regular toilet brush. And I especially like that I don't have to purchase a second brush with a shape that can clean under the rim, which not only takes up more space but would also take more time, given I'd have to switch back and forth and apply product. With this, I can just clean the entire pot in less than five minutes with the same tool." —Brittney Nelson

The kit comes with 60 gel stamps and 5 different stamp designs. Each stamp can be flushed about 150 times.

Promising review: "I love the look of these and the smell. They were easy to apply to the toilet and lasted a long time. The box came with so many that I don’t need to buy more for a long time. 10/10 a bathroom must have." —Jon Mark

While most of us have likely used Poo-Pourri’s classic toilet spray at least once by now (and if you haven’t, OMG it will change your life) you may not know they actually make other products that’ll help you solve other stinky problems! 

I’ve been using their air and fabric spray and cannot say enough good things about it. It’s impressive how well it covers a stench. I’ve really put it to the test — I’ve been using it after opening the poop and pee-filled diaper pail in my daughter's room. Lemme tell you, even the best diaper pail on the market won’t conceal how horrible a dirty diaper smells when you open it to throw out another one. Honestly, the smell lingers and quickly fills the air. Which is where the air spray comes in. I literally only spritz it once and the stink of the diapers disappears! And now they've gone ahead and even made one that's specific for conquering diaper pail stank!

In addition to keeping it beside my changing table, I've also added it into my bathroom's necessities. It's simply fantastic, smells great, and gets the job done!

Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products.

Promising review: "The holy grail of glass stovetop scrubs. I am honestly in awe of the outcome. Follow the directions; wipe it on, let it sit for 25-20 mins and use some elbow grease to scrub it off with the steel wool that comes with it. Wipe it off with a damp cloth, then dry. I cannot begin to explain how much I hated this glass stovetop because of the burn rings I couldn’t get at, even with a razor blade and harsh chemicals. Not even the trusty baking soda/vinegar/dish soap combo came close. Get it. You need it." —Katie

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in three scents).

I've tested this out in my own bathtub and was blown away by how much unseen gunk came off (seen above, right). I sprayed it and wiped it off like three times before I was satisfied with the cleanliness of my tub — I blame my toddler, who thrives on playing in the dirt. Anyways, it did a great job, and I love that it doesn't have an intense chemical smell to it.

Promising review: "This spray works! I only write a review if I’m really happy with something or really disappointed, and I appreciate all who write reviews. I have been using this spray for a week since cleaning my shower doors, and there is NO SCUM. Still looks clean after a week. Usually by the third day, my glass shower doors look dirty." —G. Guill

There wasn't a lot of ventilation in my apartment bathroom, so the grout used to get gunky and gross-looking from the humidity. I had been battling this specific bathroom grime for weeks and tried a whole array of products to no avail. Finally, I purchased Skylarlife Home Mold and Mildew Remover Gel. The results were outstanding. It’s super simple: put on a pair of gloves and apply the clear gel around your grout. Let it sit for five to six hours (I suggest opening all your windows, it’s got a strong smell) then rinse it off with cold water. 

Promising review: "Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products, with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately, when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight, and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. 1,000% worth the (small) investment." —Nicole D.

Promising review: "Y'ALL, it smells amazing!! So fresh. I’m definitely gonna purchase THIS and the toilet cleaner and check out their other lavender scented items. I recommend this for a long scent. The quality is so good and worth the money and the effects are amazing! No leaks!!" —Jenna Gilpin

Get it from Amazon for $4.97 (available in five scents).

Promising review: "Where has this been all my life? Cleaning high ceilings, ceiling fans, and even those tricky blinds used to be such a hassle, but now it’s a breeze! The extendable pole is incredibly sturdy and reaches up to 100 inches, so I don’t have to risk climbing on a chair or ladder anymore. The bendable head is another bonus — I can easily clean the tops of furniture or awkward corners without straining.

The microfiber head is super soft but picks up dust like a magnet. I’ve even used it for my car, and it works wonders on the dashboard and vents. When I’m done, it’s easy to wash and reuse, so no worries about constantly buying replacements. Cleaning feels so much quicker and more effective now, and my house looks noticeably dust-free. Highly recommend it for anyone who’s tired of missing those high-up or hard-to-reach spots!" —Vin T

Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel on the mold and left it sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns

Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama once, wiped it down easily, then ran it again to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey

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

I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine.

Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" —Sheila

Promising review: "This product works great. My clothes started to smell damp after washing. I put a tablet in to clean my washer, and it works great. The odor from my washer disappeared. Will definitely buy again and recommend to others" —maria phillips

This robotic vacuum can easily move between hard floors and low- to medium-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day. It has an infrared sensor to avoid knocking into obstacles (like furniture and walls) and drop-sensing tech so it won't fall down stairs and off ledges. And if it starts to run low on battery, it'll just return to its base for a recharge! Reviewers do recommend keeping stray items like socks and cords off the floor before running this. 

Promising review: "This robot vacuum is incredible! I have three dogs and a cat; this vacuum is a time saver. I run it each day, and it has done an incredible job of keeping pet hair, dirt, and debris picked up in my home. Works well on carpet, hardwood, and tile floors. Wish I had purchased it sooner!" —t. hampton

Get it from Amazon for $139.99+ (also available in two other models). 

Promising review: "These things are awesome! I cleaned my bathroom tile grout first because the lady who lived there before me really let it go. A few places stayed stained and I was worried it wouldn't cover them, but all grout areas are bright white and look new now!" —Donna K Cook

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in narrow and wide tips).

Promising review: "This stuff is magic in a spray bottle. It cleans SO well, I was actually shocked the first time I used it. I saw someone else mention it and I’m so glad I gave it a try. You literally spray it on and wait a couple of seconds, and you can see the stain disappear. I don’t know how it works, but it does, and I’m so grateful. I have three kids and a cream couch (I know, lol, but I really wanted it.), and with the Folex I can maintain it! It’s a good-sized bottle, granted, it’s a bit more expensive than other brands, but this one actually works, so I think it’s worth it. I haven’t noticed any smell whatsoever." —Mr & Mrs. B

I use this stuff constantly and can confirm it's fantastic. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my griddler (which is ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes cleaning burnt bits and pieces much easier. It also smells incredible — very fresh and delightful! I recently swapped from the "fresh" scent to the "apple" one, and wow, it smells delicious. It also works great for removing stains on clothes (I've seen it remove coffee from a white tee with my very own eyes).

Promising review: "This makes it so easy to keep my sink clear of dishes. I use it constantly throughout the day. Every time I use a dish, I give it a quick spray, wash it, rinse it, and put it in a dish drainer. It is wonderful. I wish it was a little cheaper as I’m constantly using it; other than that, I love it." —Linda W.

Get a pack of four Amazon for $16.88 (available in five scents).

Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

Get it from Amazon for $99+ (available in three styles).

I tested this bad boy out on the white tile in my entryway (which gets super dirty from everyone walking in/out of that area all the time), and my husband and I were blown away! The Little Green HydroSteam did an awesome job making our tile look new again. My husband said it felt very therapeutic going over each tile and watching how fresh they looked after just one pass with this vacuum. One of our friends stopped by and even commented on how clean the tile looked — a win in my book. I feel very confident that one of our kids will inevitably spill something terrible on one of our rugs or couches, but I don't have to stress knowing we'll have this tool on hand to help clean it up.

Promising review: "The Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Multipurpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is a game changer! I've been using it to clean my car, furniture, and carpets, and it's been amazing. I used it when my 6-year-old decided to squish his banana in the carpet and it made clean up so quick. I love that I can use both steam and cleaner at the same time, or just steam on its own. The powerful suction and quick heating time make cleaning a breeze. The sleek design and large capacity are also big pluses. It's perfect for anyone with kids, pets, or adults who are prone to spills!" —Allison

Promising review: "Wet & Forget does an amazing job maintaining my shower's cleanliness with weekly use. As a single parent, I like things that make life easy. First time I used it, I sprayed Wet & Forget on before going to work, then rinsed it off when I got home, and I wasn't content with all the results, yet was impressed at how well it cleaned the chrome, which I wipe daily, so it doesn't get water spots. I decided to give the shower a good, deep cleaning and started using Wet & Forget every Monday, and since then, I'm very happy with the results. Personally, I would describe this Wet & Forget as 'a great way to maintain your shower's cleanliness through weekly use.' Bottom line ... you're responsible for the initial cleaning you want to maintain." —My D 1

Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents).

Additionally, Drill Brush is a small business based in New York!

Promising review: "I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved. Man, do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+ year old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit, to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers, and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Just 10 minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" —Becky Adie

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six strength types).

Promising review: "This stuff is so amazing. I'm a witness. My 2-year-old baby wrote all over my white leather couch. I tried many different things and nothing worked but Grandma's Secret Spot Remover. I love this stuff." —L. Nix

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99.

The set comes with five microfiber sleeves that can be washed and reused.

Promising review: "Really wasn't sure if this was going to work, I've used something similar many years ago. It works remarkably well! Cleans top and bottom of the blinds, is easy to use with some cleaner. Definitely a game changer, I've already cleaned three sets of blinds since I got these today. Bravo!" —Lisa C. Wear

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

People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products!

Promising review: "I have been using Goo Gone since it was first introduced and every year I find new uses for it. I keep a large bottle in the garage for cleaning tools and removing adhesives, and nothing works better. I've only recently started using it as an all-purpose kitchen cleaner, and it has taken over most of my kitchen and bathroom jobs. Newest use — quickly and easily cuts through the soapy residue left behind in the bathroom sink and shower." —24karats

I personally can vouch for how amazing this product is. I watched with my own eyes as it magically cleared the grossness from the pipes of my previous apartment's jetted tub. It's pretty disgusting and incredible. Reviewers, like this one, also love that the product doesn't have a chemical smell.

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I’ve cleaned my jets recently with laundry detergent (something I saw to do on Pinterest), but it was no match for this life-changing cleaner!! Absolutely fabulous. Will be purchasing more and adding it to my cleaning routine! THANK YOU!!" —Stephie B
