“Who knew the Clorox Toilet Wand would be the magic wand to break the curse of teenage laziness?” — one reviewer, with a sparkling porcelain throne. ✨

I’m a resident writer on the BuzzFeed Shopping team covering a variety of topics in a fun and mindful way, including travel, home, beauty, gift guides, and anything that’ll add just a bit of whimsy into people’s lives.

Promising review: "I hadn't cleaned my oven in... well, ever. It's been *at least* eight years since it was cleaned. Mounds of baked-on black plague, a window on the door that hadn't been transparent probably since it came out of the box by the original owners, and nary a base surface to be seen anywhere. I sprayed about half the can and let it sit for about 16 hours. When I went to see how well it did or didn't work, I was floored. The mounds of filth and gunk came up like layers of mud. A quarter roll of paper towels and 15 minutes later and the entire interior of the oven was 90% clean. No elbow grease needed. 

The glass window seemed like it was going to be a bit problematic, as paper towels weren't really doing the trick. Then I realized I had a wide-handled razor blade and everything came up with one swipe. The glass looks brand new! Seriously beyond impressed with whatever black magic was used in this formula, but I'll never have a filthy oven again with how easy it is to clean with this stuff." —Kyle Vick

Promising review: "I never leave reviews, but THIS STUFF IS MAGICAL!!! Like many other reviewers here, I’ve used dozens of products to remove hard water stains and none of them work. This product does! I had no idea the master shower in the house I’ve owned for 20 years had glossy tiles until I used BioClean. The formerly dingy grout is now almost completely white again. A game changer. Next, I’m trying it on the shower doors. My tips are — leave it on for 15 minutes or so, use a rotary brush with a scrub pad head. All you have to do is direct the scrub head to the areas you want cleaned." —Sherri Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $16.29+ (available in three sizes).

BTW — These are a great swap for the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, which is pretty much *always* sold out.

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer can vouch for these: "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 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 a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in five color combos and packs of two and eight).

Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here."

Promising review: "I am not sure what the secret sauce is, but I do know it is magical. My secondary stainless sink in my laundry area is a workhorse. Everything gets washed in it... animal stuff, plant stuff, human stuff, DIY stuff ... everything that is not for the kitchen sink. Hope's polish took a dingy-looking 25-year-old stainless sink and made it look brand new. Not only that, but it's water repellent and [has a glass-like finish that], it is so shiny and stunning. Fantastic product, great price, and easy to use. I will always have it in my cleaning supply." —RACLabma

Get it from Amazon for $11+ (available in two sizes, larger packs, and in a kit with cleaning pads). 

Btw— Hope's also makes a countertop cleaner and polish! 

Promising review: "I’d like to start off by saying I never leave reviews. But this product is AMAZING! I am a jewelry fanatic and use an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner when home. I bought this for a trip; however, it’s better than any other product I own or have tried and will use it instead of my cleaning machine. Genuinely magical. 1,000% recommend." —kayla

BuzzFeeder Heather Braga also mentioned that she uses it on her diamond rings, but it also works well on cubic zirconia earrings. 

Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two sizes, a two- or three-pack, and in a kit with the Diamond Dazzle cloth, also sold separately).

It's available in three sizes: Pan Fry (which comes with four packets, each capable of solidifying two cups of oil), Deep Fry (which comes with two packets, each capable of solidifying 8 cups of oil), and Super Fry (which comes in a bag you can scoop for any size need). 

FryAway is a woman-owned and Latina-owned small business, and they donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation.

Promising review: "Have to admit I was a bit skeptical about how this would work — but talk about magic! Very easy to use (follow the instructions and give it the required time to solidify), and you will become a believer as I did. It performs as described and makes oil cleanup a breeze. If you hate cleaning up used frying oil don't hesitate to give this product a try. I will be purchasing again. Well worth the price for the time saved and mess avoided!" —Book Maven

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (available in three sizes and packs of three and 10). 

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." —Tsippi

Get it from Amazon for $239.99+ (available in two styles).

It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone.

Promising reviews: "I hate mopping. I love the Shark Steam and scrub. I have tried many different products over the years, always looking for an easier way to mop. The steam and scrub is by far the easiest product I’ve ever used. I was able to clean all my tile rooms in less than an hour. The power and steam were perfect, having the long cord was great. When I washed the pads in the washer they came out like new. I highly recommend this product." —Arizona

"I have a light hardwood floor. Everything shows. Sometimes when a bit of a stray cucumber peel falls to the floor and goes unnoticed, it bonds to the floor and I have to get down on my knees and 'scrub' it up. I was using Scrub Daddy sponges. Then on a deal day, I bought this magic mop. My floor is flawless and IT  SHOWS EVERYTHING. Not only does it lift up the cucumber peel bit, but it also leaves the whole floor spotless. You do need to go slower than you would with a regular mop, but it’s worth it! I think most of the negative reviews must be user error. Floors are my thing, and this mop is my treasure." —GeeGee

Get it from Amazon for $159.99 (available in four styles). 

Promising review: "Oh, where do I even begin with this pink paste? Look, I've tried elbow grease, fairy tales, and even begged my kitchenware to clean itself (they remained stubbornly silent). But this pink paste? It's like a cleaning superhero disguised in a colorful jar! You know those pesky pots and pans with the kind of baked-in grease that even your grandma would give up on? Yeah, this paste treats those like mere child's play. I literally took a dab—not even a spoonful, mind you—and applied it to my ancient skillet. What happened next can only be described as alchemy or wizardry. It's as if the paste whispered to the grease, "Your time is up, buddy," and voila! Grease be gone! And let's talk about my electric glass stovetop. That thing had more spots and stains than a Dalmatian at a ketchup festival. But a small amount of this magical pink goop and a sponge had it gleaming like it was auditioning for a kitchenware beauty pageant. So, to sum it up, if this pink paste were a movie, it'd sweep the Oscars. If it were a person, it'd be the life of the party, and everyone would want to be its friend. And if it were running for office, I'd vote for it. Twice. But don't tell anyone that last part." —Eugen Mihai

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a two-pack).

This is great for a bit of low-effort weekly maintenance, but if your shower is in need of a ~deep clean~, you can use this a few times in a row to get it all washed up before starting that once-a-week schedule. 

Promising review: "I am100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower I didn’t even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cupcake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack).

This includes the scrubber tool and two refills. 

Promising reviews: "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

"I bought this to use on the underside of my awning, which is a plastic-coated canvas type of material. There was brown mold that appeared and a friend suggested I use Mr Clean Magic Erasers. I did and the job was much easier than I could have ever imagined. A magical fix for an ugly problem." —iris Voorhees

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in other pack amounts). 

Promising review: "I have Invisalign retainers and had been using other products. My retainers were stained yellow-brown. Even my dentist used their ultrasonic cleaner and couldn't improve them. My hygienist suggested this product, just for my daily use, and voila! My retainers are COMPLETELY CLEAR! They look brand new! I didn't expect this at all! And there is no grainy residue after I've soaked them. It's really magic. So glad I found it!!!" —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of 120 tablets from Amazon for $23.99.

The cleaner is free of phosphorous and ammonia. 

Promising reviews: "This stuff works great! I used it on my windows and glass doors, and it made the job quick and painless. Just hook it up to the hose, spray, and rinse — it’s way faster than scrubbing by hand. The glass came out streak-free and clear, which is exactly what I wanted. Highly recommend this if you’ve got a lot of outdoor windows or glass surfaces to keep clean. It saves so much time and effort, and the results speak for themselves. 💡Pro Tip: Clean on a cloudy day if you can — direct sunlight can cause streaks before the spray dries." —Jeff Bennett

"This outdoor window cleaner worked like magic! It attached easily to our hose and was easy to spray on and squeegee off. Worked on the screens, too." —Every Day Counts

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.25 (also available as an eight-pack). 

Promising review: "I had almost given up on the awfully stained grout and caulk in my shower. No cleaning product had made a difference before. But dang! Look at this small test area picture I posted. This is incredible! It's like brand new, shiny white. What?! I'm baffled. How is this possible? What rituals and magic does this product hold deep within its tube? This is much too powerful to be in the hands of humankind. 10/10 would recommend. May this product question your reality as it did mine." —Suzanne

Promising review: "Works like magic! I bought this to neutralize a cat pee accident in my car. A cat had peed in my back seat. Very smelly! I had already cleaned the area with another product and had even steam-cleaned the seat. The odor still lingered and I was even considering replacing the seat! In desperation, I had ordered this product. I used it as directed, and I left the area to dry. It took the odor completely away!" —mallor05

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and more.

Promising review: "All I can say is that I will ALWAYS use these for cleaning up puke spots from my cats or anything else they do. I can just set it and leave it and when I come back, it's like magic. The stain is gone and it doesn't seem to collect dirt like other cleaners when they leave a residue. It's truly magical. And when I'm rushing, this is so easy. Also, I can see where I'm treating it instead of spraying and then putting towels over the area to keep people from walking there. It's genius. So it's worth the money to me." —Toftie

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49 (also available in a pack of 40). 

Promising review: "Faced with either replacing our dining room chairs or living with the daily reminder of how disgusting children (x3) can be, we decided to replace our chairs. Until we priced some new ones. Enter the Green Machine. This chair has never been cleaned (I know, we’re gross). I sprayed the included magical solution, let it sit 15 minutes for good measure, and voila. Sorcery. I read zero instructions, just plugged in, and went to town. I would recommend cleaning outside if your item is portable; it minimized the spray on the floor. The dark grey liquid on the collecting side was evidence enough of the dirt and stain-removing powers. Don’t second-guess; this was <$100 when I purchased it, and while something with steam and heaters and all the gadgets, I am sure it is wonderful, bang for your buck on this one is a no-brainer. Definitely bought us another year or so before we pull the trigger on something new for the kids to ruin." —aih

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in green and a limited edition beige, and two other styles). 

Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. 

Promising review: "This spray is like actual magic; spritz and grease disappears!! I was planning to replace my cooktop ($400+) because I — despite repeated efforts of scrubbing and bleaching — could not get rid of the built-up grease. As a last-ditch effort (based on reviews I read on Amazon), I tried the Dawn Powerwash spray. The baked-on grease melted. I was sincerely amazed; it didn't even take that long! I've now started giving a light spritz to my every greasy pot, pan, and plasticware lunchbox with salad dressing, and am constantly wowed at how this product cuts the oil. I'm a clean freak and a massive fan. Try this product...I will be shocked if you don't love it." —Pamela Bennett

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44 (available in three scents and other pack amounts). 

Promising review: "Not sure why it took me so long to try out the popular Scrub Daddy, but I’m so glad I did! Unlike typical sponges, this thing never smells, it doesn’t change colors because no food gets stuck in it (obviously, you need to rinse it out after using, but that’s super simple), and I don't know what kind of magic this is made out of, but it scrubs everything off SO easily without scratching! I love that they have different colors so I can have different ones for different uses and not get confused! Will be purchasing again!" —Alice

Promising review: "I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first bought this product. After months of battling with a stubborn sink that just wouldn’t drain, I had tried everything—and I mean everything—short of calling a plumber. I decided to give Yugou a shot as my last-ditch Hail Mary, and I’m so glad I did! Not only was it incredibly easy to use, but it actually worked! I couldn’t believe it. The sink is now flowing and draining better than it ever has before, and dare I say... it was even kind of fun to use! Bonus: It has a lovely, fresh scent that leaves the bathroom smelling great. I’ll definitely be buying more of this magic in a bottle once I’m done with this review, as it’s also perfect for preventative maintenance. Highly recommend!" —Janet Anders

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

This is safe for all pipes, but shouldn't be used on toilets or garbage disposals. 

Promising review: "I am not sure what kind of witchcraft this is but it’s definitely magic. I have long, thick, curly hair, a drain’s worst enemy. The tub was backed up and I was standing in water every shower. I had zero faith that this would help. Dumped it in and let it sit. The product is super thick and isn’t noxious which honestly had me more leery. Can it work without making me feel like I’m going to pass out? Came back and ran hot water, which didn’t go down at first, then suddenly started draining all the way. I took a shower the next day without standing in a pool of water. Keeping this on hand always." —Amber

Get it from Amazon for $6.92 (also available as a two-pack).

Promising review: "I rarely leave reviews, but I feel compelled to with this product. I have a Golden Retriever (if you have one, you know). I literally vacuum every day, use a Swiffer on the floor at least three times a day. I don't even know how this dog has hair left! This ChomChom (it should be called MagicMagic) is worth every single nickel (pennies are a thing of the past now). It removes hair from my furniture much more effectively and quickly than any high-end vacuum cleaner can. It's just an amazing product. If you have a Golden that sheds a lot, or any dog or cat, for that matter, do not hesitate. You won't regret this purchase." —Paula

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors and a mini style). 

Cleaning your brushes can help with acne, too! Check out the brush cleaner in action on TikTok.

Promising reviews: "This is a must!!! I absolutely love it. It cleans all makeup brushes pretty well. I added a few drops of baby shampoo and hot water… it’s amazing how this little magic bowl washes all the dirt away! I strongly recommend it! Get it, girl!" —Mariela

"I used to wash my brushes by hand. It took forever because I have nearly 200 makeup brushes. This brush cleaner is a game-changer. To use, put some water and a very little dish soap in it, turn it on, and put your brush in. The cleaner has nubs that scrub your brush. I quickly rinse the soap out under running water. My brushes are so much cleaner now. The task is relaxing instead of a chore." —TaleSpinner

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in three colors).

Promising reviews: "Sorcery. The old possible explanation. I would’ve been happy if this stuff worked half as well as the reviews made it seem. But holy cow, this fabric cleaner is ~ i n c r e d i b l e ~. I bought a '93 Jeep recently, and the inside was pretty gross (check out the photos). The fabric upholstery looked like someone’s Pepsi had exploded everywhere, with dark, drippy stains and spots all over the seats. After using this cleaner with a drill brush, these seats look amazing! It takes some work to really get in there and work a lather, but hoo boy is it worth it. Check out the before and after photos! I’m so pumped. This stuff is great! Definitely a lifelong customer now." —S. Wheeler

"My nephew puked all over my brand new car, and we tried EVERYTHING to get the smell out. Nothing worked all the way; there was still a musty barf smell. (Super sad face) I ordered this as a last-ditch effort after seeing a professional car detailer video share this product for cat pee. This stuff is some magical miracle potion. I used the 8:1 dilution because... puke smell, and I used a toothbrush to activate the foam bubble enzymes, let it set for a couple of hours, and then blotted dry, and the puke smell is totally gone!! Even when I put my nose RIGHT on the spot where it was the worst — barf smell's ALL GONE. I’m so glad I found this. Just order it!!!" —AngieLeeTravels

Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (available in three sizes and a cleaning kit). 

Promising review: "It's sorcery I tell ya. Who knew that the Clorox Toilet Wand would be the magic wand to break the curse of teenage laziness? My 14-year-old son, who usually treats cleaning like it’s a punishment from the Middle Ages, has suddenly discovered the joy of *gasp* cleaning the toilet. I handed him the wand, and I swear he looked like Harry Potter about to duel Voldemort. ‘Wait, it just clicks on? And I don’t have to touch the gross stuff?!’ Yes, child, it’s sorcery. Now, he struts around, wielding that toilet wand like he’s scrubbing for gold. Five stars —my bathroom sparkles, and I’m waiting for him to ask for a Clorox cape to complete the look." —H Noelle

Promising review: "Incredible! My toilet had years of buildup (thanks, previous owners!) that I was starting to think we were going to need to replace it due to its unsightliness, and nothing I’d tried before working. This magical stick did the trick in two minutes. I can’t believe how easy it was and how great it works! I’d be bragging to all my friends about this if I weren’t so embarrassed about how the toilet used to look!" —Evan Fallor

Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. 

Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. 

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses this: "Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and I can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods)." 

Promising review: "LIKE MAGIC! This stuff works! Bad stain, but kinda new? Spray on, use a brush to rub into the fabric, then wash. Really bad stain you totally forgot about and didn’t pretreat? Then accidentally washed? And dried? Don’t throw your clothes away. Spray on, rub into fabric, and set aside. Check in a couple of days. Spray more if you want. I gave it a week, and the stain was totally gone." —Ms. Ma'am

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes, a two-pack, two other styles, and in a kit with a refill). 

The double-sided cleaner can be used with the extended handle or as a handheld brush, and can be used either wet or dry. It's also reusable — just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses.

Promising reviews: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

"Best purchase I've made in a long time. Great tool for cleaning pollen off a screened porch. Works like magic." —Deborah Sheriff

Promising review: “These are genuinely magical, there’s no other word for it. I had lost all hope of ever making the dishwasher smell acceptable again when I saw these on a BuzzFeed article. It works wonders, seriously. Great product and worth every penny." —Madison Murphy

Promising review (for photos above): "This was my first time using this product, so I followed the instructions that said to do three cleaning cycles in a row. Wow... I had no idea what was festering in my washing machine until buying these tabs... I've run cleaning cycles on my washer and always left my front loader door open to air it out, but I've never seen this level of grime come out from those cycles. These tabs are MAGICAL! Look at the difference between the first cycle and the last one... incredible! I will be a customer for life!" —Abs

This also works on other moldy areas, like grout lines and window frames. 

Promising review: "My front-load washer had mildew stains all over the rubber gaskets around the drum and door. Nothing worked to remove the stain, and I mean nothing — not bleach, not mold/mildew sprays. But this liquid was absolutely amazing. It removed eight-year-old mildew stains like magic. You do need to let it set for some time (several hours in my case), but when I rinsed it off, the stains were gone. I did need to do two applications on some spots that were majorly stained, but they eventually lifted off. No more black, nasty stains. I was thrilled and amazed. This stuff works when others never could, nor would." —Rick Ross

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four sizes and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Works like MAGIC! Man, I wish I had taken photos before so I could show how amazing this product is, but I was doubtful. My apartment vents the dryer inside the apartment and the bathroom ventilation is not the best. So I get mold sometimes above the shower. I figured this would be worth a shot. The mold was GONE in 30 seconds! Like GONE GONE. Like it was never there. The smell is strong but well worth the trade since it works in LITERALLY 30 seconds. No scrubbing. Just wiped with a damp cloth to rinse the area." —Stacey B

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 long time.

Promising review: "This stuff is actual magic. I've got really hard water and really sticky kids — you can imagine what my stainless steel appliances looked like... I bought this as nothing was really tackling the job at hand, even my tried-and-true Norwex. I am SO happy with these results. It cleaned off all the hard water drips on my fridge and dishwasher, all the sticky residue left on the handles, and all the little grease drips on the bottom door of my oven. You do need to wipe with the grain — but I think thats typical of most stainless steel cleaners. Overall I'm very impressed especially since its made of ingredients you can pronounce. I will be telling every one I know about this product." —Mamamoe

Promising review: "Used these throughout the winter in our humidifier. Still cleaned the humidifier every week versus every three days, but while cleaning, the typical build-up was not there, so I believe this does what it says it does. Will continue to buy. There is no scent, and it's hassle-free, just drop it in the water tank, and it floats around working its magic." —Vanessa
