I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products. This kit comes with one wand, a caddy, and *16* disposable scrubber refills. Promising review: "Why didn't I see this sooner?! Saw this at my sister's house and absolutely had to get one! Not having a brush covered in fecal matter sitting in my bathroom for months on end really made things feel so much cleaner! I just cleaned my toilet the day before garbage pickup, tossed the pad, and have a sparkling toilet without the grossness. Just make sure to tap the wand to confirm there's no water in it. I also like the sleek design. The scrubby material gets everything under the lip of the bowl, and the soapy cleaning layer helps with breaking that down. I love how well it works." —Nadya Aromas include lemon, rose, jasmine, and more. Promising reviews: "My sister and I spent a solid 15 minutes girl giggling and decorating our toilet bowls… I have no idea how well these hold up, but the initial joy was worth it. They seem to be good consistency and stamped easily. The fragrances are pleasant and fresh." —Christin "This toilet gel stamp kit is a convenient way to keep my bathroom smelling fresh between cleanings. The fragrance is strong enough to mask odors without being overpowering. For the price, you get great value with 60 applications. They stick well and last through repeated flushes. This is still an easy, affordable way to maintain a cleaner-smelling toilet. Would recommend for anyone wanting a low-maintenance freshness boost!" —SimpleStyleMe Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two sets). You can even use it beyond the shower, like in your kitchen for your grimy stove top or for your swimming pool tiles that have seen better days. 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 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 Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. It's even safe to use outside of your dishes, like for your greasy grill or dusty tire rims, with some reviewers saying they even use it on their tough, stained laundry. Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good things about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M. Promising review: "The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF Get the starter pack from Amazon for $17.50 (also available in lots of other scents, including a Free & Clear option). 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 These are different from microfiber towels you might use for your car and house cleaning, because they have a super tight weave that's safe for more delicate surfaces like camera lenses, eye glasses, and modern flat screen TVs. Promising review: "Woah, oh, oh, it's MAGIC! This cloth is amazing! We have tried all sorts of cleaners and they made our TV so much worse. Then, while searching Amazon to find yet another "good" cleaner, I came upon these. No cleaner necessary it says and they were so right! It was that instant gratification you get when you buff the wax off your car." —Lane Get a three pack from Amazon for $14.99. Reviewers say it does take a minute to do both tasks, but it still works really well. It also has a reliable sensor so it knows if it's vacuuming carpet or hard floors, and when to lower or lift the mop pad. Promising review: "This machine is incredible. I’ve never seen anything so thorough. After its initial mapping, its vacuum is 100% every part of the house, including the edges and the corners. It is quiet and very efficient. We have a 2,000-square-foot home and it does the entire home on a single charge. This vacuum is worth every cent charged." —Fred B. Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! And it works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small motorhome screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah, where the red dirt/dust is everywhere, and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen." —KarenLynn 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 one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors). Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter, I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home 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 You may need a few applications at first if your bathroom has stubborn grime. Once your shower is clear, just spray this once a week to keep it sparkling. Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). Promising review: "These blind cleaners are terrific! I've enjoyed cleaning houses and offices professionally for over 20 years and cleaning blinds is not always easy. I debated and debated what to buy, to try to make the process a bit easier. Within five minutes of using this, I was almost doing cartwheels — it really works! Best product I have ever used to clean blinds. My first time using it, I had eight different large blinds to clean, with skinny slats to boot, and this duster brush with refills DID THE JOB BEAUTIFULLY. I have gone from dreading cleaning blinds to actually enjoying the process. I could not be happier." —T.R. Get the brush with five microfiber cloths from Amazon for $6.99. Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILA! You have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal, and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl 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 $9.99 (available in six color packs). It can be used on stainless steel, cast iron, solid surface, granite, acrylic, and vitreous china. Promising review: "I only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible. My cleaning person came on Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and a quick rinse, it looks new. I’ve ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of the product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it’s honestly perfect.)" —EdUK8 Get the 8.5-ounce size for $9.95 or the value size from Amazon for $26. The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads. Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The different brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat Promising review: "I cannot believe how well this worked. I am a CLEAN FREAK, and my nasty bathtub would literally keep me up at night. I tried every product on the shelf, and nothing worked. I literally scrubbed until my fingers were raw and still got nowhere. I sprayed this bad boy TWICE on the mildew stains and now they are COMPLETELY GONE!! I am so happy, relieved, and thankful, but also mad that I didn’t know about this product sooner. I absolutely, 100% recommend, and I would give it 10 stars if I could!" —Mackenzie Mayock To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with the absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin! Promising review: "I bought this because someone got a ball point pen ink stain on an expensive cushion. It was recommended by the upholstery shop that made the cushion, so I figured it was worth a try. I sprayed the stain and almost immediately it was totally gone. And I mean totally. Even knowing where it had been, I can find no trace of ink. And this was on a light yellow fabric. Wonderful stuff!!" —Mark G. Promising review: "Works like magic. There's a reason for all the positive reviews. I've never seen any product work so effortlessly and live up to its claims. With just one round, no scrubbing, just spray and wait, this removed four years of deep rust stains from my bathtub, leaving it clean, bright, and spotless. Worked just as well on the toilet and sink. I'm beyond impressed. You can't go wrong buying this amazing rust remover." —Deadat57 Get it from Amazon for $4.97+ (available in three sizes and multipacks). The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a really long time. Promising review: "This stuff works great... and that’s coming from a clean freak. This cleaner/polish works awesome on stainless steel and any other material that the appliance is made of. It comes with a high-quality microfiber cloth, and it smells good. A little goes a long way, so it lasts through daily use." —RMK Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a larger size and two-pack). Promising review: "Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421 Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.99. Promising review: "For anyone with long hair, drainage clogging in the shower is a pain. So THANKS to whoever thought of such a simple but clever solution. They stick perfectly and the glue lasts like three weeks. It literally does not let a hair pass, and it's just so easy to place and remove. I wish I had known about this product before! A must-buy." —MER Get a 25-pack from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a 50-pack and 100-pack). Promising review: "My parents have a washer that's a few decades old. I used to make diy 'detergent' by grating bars of soap. We all used to use wayyyy too much detergent. We have a lot of pet hair, etc. Needless to say, we had a lot of buildup, and it stunk so bad. I added two tablets to the longest hot cycle and look at all that nasty comes out. So gross but satisfying." —Hannah * I’ve Written About Cleaning For *13 Years*: I Actually Use These 21 Effective Tips * Products That’ll Clean Your House On The *Outside* * If You’re Deeply Serious About Deep Cleaning, You’ll Want These 44 Products * Cleaning Products So Effortless, You’ll Ask “Why Didn’t I Use This Sooner?” Plus, laundry detergent for sensitive skin.
