My rental shower has a textured plexiglass floor. No matter what I try, it always looks dingy and dirty...until I started using this stuff! I spritz it in the shower before bed and rinse it out in the morning. It's the only thing that's made my shower look and feel clean! 

Promising review: "I love this stuff. I have purchased several bottles of it. The bottle is a good size and lasts a long time. It has a pleasant smell and helps keep your shower doors and walls free of water spots. It does not stain your tile or grout and is safe to use. It is clear, so there is no color to bleed into your grout. I use this weekly to keep my shower clean with minimal scrubbing. Living in a tropical climate, we are prone to more mold and mildew than most places, and this product helps lessen our work." —Whitney R

"This hair drain catcher works great! It catches hair before it goes down the drain, helping prevent clogs and making cleanup much easier. The suction cups keep it securely in place, and the silicone material is flexible, durable, and easy to clean. It fits perfectly over my shower drain and does exactly what it's supposed to do. Such a simple product, but it makes a big difference. Highly recommend!" —Supermom

Get it from Amazon for $5.69+ (available in a variety of colors and in packs of two or four).

Promising review: "One of the best inventions ever! SO EASY to use! Thorough cleaning, ample amount of cleaner on the scrub pad. Scrub, press the sponge against the bowl to squeeze excess water, push the bottom, and the pad pops off. Amazingly simple and you're not storing icky brushes in the bathroom." —jancathip

Promising reviews: "Very happy with this order. I was so skeptical when this arrived because the box was tiny!!! But once I opened it, all of the pieces were there. It was super easy to assemble. It was just as pictured online. The handles are long and durable. It looks very nice in my bathroom, and the color matches what you see online. It is leak-proof, very flexible, and easy to clean and unclog the toilet. This arrived quickly and was well packaged. I will buy this item again and again" —Jen J

"This 2-in-1 plunger and toilet brush set is a smart and space-saving solution for any bathroom. The extended handle makes plunging easier, and the brush is sturdy and effective. The compact holder keeps everything tidy and discreet. A great combo for keeping your toilet clean and ready. Highly recommended!" —Lopez

Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in six colors and different quantities).

I swear by this stuff. I've used it to make my sink sparkle, get annoying stains off my shower floor, and to clean my linoleum floors. 

Promising review: "Using this gets all the tough spots off my stovetop so easily! I spray the all-purpose cleaner first to wet the surface, sprinkle this on, then rub all the grime away in circular motions. Works like a charm with very little scrubbing." —Ashley M.

The set includes Pink Stuff Cleaning Paste, Bathroom Foam Spray, Toilet Foaming Powder, a SQeeZY Sponge, and a three-pack of microfiber cloths. I also think this would make a great housewarming gift! 

Promising review: "This Pink Stuff bathroom cleaning kit is amazing! Everything in the set works incredibly well and makes cleaning the bathroom so much easier. The cleaning paste tackles tough grime and stains with minimal effort, and the bathroom foam spray leaves surfaces sparkling clean with a fresh scent. The toilet cleaner is especially effective — it cleans thoroughly and leaves the bowl looking bright and fresh. I love that the products are tough on dirt but not overly harsh, and a little goes a long way. This kit has become my go-to for bathroom cleaning. Great value, great results, and highly satisfying to use. Highly recommend!" —Olivia Hasenkamp

Promising review: "Very nice and firm cleaning brush. The charge lasts pretty long, and it comes with different attachments. It is very easy to use and helps with cleaning crevices so, so much. I don’t know what I did without this!" —Madison Barrows

The set includes one scrubber and two sponges.

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with this cleaning tool! The handle feels sturdy and comfortable to hold, making it easy to use without slipping. The sponge attaches securely and has a great texture that helps remove dirt and grime without scratching surfaces. What I especially like are the built-in cleaning solution spots — they make the whole process quicker and more efficient, so you don’t need to constantly add extra product. It works great on countertops and tough spots, leaving everything looking clean and fresh. It’s a simple but very effective cleaning tool that saves time and effort. Definitely a great addition to any home!" —Andrey

Promising review: "Makes cleaning so much easier and quicker. I use this product for limescale buildup. No more scrubbing or possibly scratching materials. Just spray it on for a few minutes and wipe off." —Tonya Dow

Promising review: "This vinegar gel spray works incredibly well — it cuts through grime and leaves my bathroom surfaces looking spotless without any harsh residue. I especially love the no-rinse formula, which makes quick cleanups so easy. As a parent and pet owner, I feel so much better using this around my toddler and pets, especially on countertops and surfaces he touches and plays on. It gives me real peace of mind while still delivering a deep clean. I purchase this regularly and will definitely keep it stocked!" —Stacey M

Just FYI: You'll need a cordless drill to get cleaning!

Promising review: "I have one brass sink and one copper sink in my basement. I hate those things because, unless you completely dry them after every single use, they get discolored. Once visitors leave, they are such a pain to clean. My arms are about to fall off! These attachments made cleaning them a breeze. Also, I had a multi-month visitor, and the tub was awful…This brush set made it so easy." —Mary

Get the set of four attachments from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a set of six).

Promising review: "This cleaner makes it easy to remove stains and leave the toilet sparkling clean. The thick formula clings well and leaves a fresh scent after every use." —Andrea Perez Acevedo

Promising review: "I had a slow-draining, clogged sink in my bathroom. I tried two other bottles of similar brands/types, and neither worked. This one works! Easy to use: I used the entire bottle and left it to sit overnight. The next morning, the water ran, and the drain was cleared." —Patricia Manderville

Promising review: "I have the original Scrub Daddy, which I love, but I’ve been looking for a sponge that has a soft side and a scrubbing side that isn’t going to wear out after using it three times. This sponge is great! The scrub side is enough to handle tough spots on a dish without scratching it. The soft side gets your soap nice and foamy, making it easier to clean the dishes. I will definitely purchase these again." —Dawn G.

Promising review: "Love how these make cleaning everything in the house easier. Perfect for darker shiny surfaces that show all forms of dirt and grime." —D. Oppenheimer

Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in 20 color combos and larger quantities).

Promising review: "This stuff is beyond amazing. I felt like I was in an infomercial but without the B.S. One sponge removed all the greasy, oily, dirty hand marks in our apartment, the worst of which were built up around the door knobs and door jams. I cleaned some of the worst browning marks on my doors in under 10 seconds with one sponge and some warm water, and it makes a HUGE difference." —Marisa P. 

The kit includes one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry.

Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations about 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

Promising reviews: "OxiClean has been my secret weapon for years, and this 5-pound tub is the way to buy it. I use it for everything — laundry, soaking stained clothes, cleaning grout, scrubbing the kitchen sink — and it delivers every single time. Tough stains that I thought were permanent come out after a good soak, and it's gentle enough that I've never had it damage a fabric or surface.The 5-pound size is a fantastic value and lasts a long time, even with regular use. I love that it's color safe and has no harsh chemical smell. Just mix it with warm water and let it do its thing — it's that simple. If you have kids, pets, or just live life and make messes, this is a non-negotiable addition to your cleaning routine. I've recommended it to everyone I know and every single one of them has thanked me. Absolute must-have." —Robert

"OxiClean is an excellent product for removing tough stains from clothes, carpets, and other surfaces. I’ve used it on both white and colored fabrics, and it always makes them look like new. It even works on old stains. Very easy to use — just soak or add to your wash. The results are impressive. Highly recommended for any home" —Yanet

This kit comes with a ceiling cleaner, baseboard duster, dry duster, and wet cleaning mop.

Promising review: "I had seen this on the Instagram reel of a cleaning page I follow and kept it in my cart for a while. So glad I finally pulled the trigger. My walls were even grosser than I thought, and this made them easy to clean right up! I filled a bucket with warm water and Tide powder, and it was magic!" —M. McGuinnes

Promising review: "This item is definitely worth getting. It's really easy to use and gets the job done. I use it on my couch. It picks up pet hair and dust really well, and it's easy to store and clean." —Ven

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "I recently purchased a new dishwasher to replace one that I have had for over 30 years. I always used a liquid cleaner in it, which worked fine. The new dishwasher manufacturer recommended these dishwasher cleaner tablets. I was skeptical at first, but they worked great! I love the fresh scent, too. It's much easier to clean with these. Just toss them in and go. You can use these while you are washing dishes if you want. I haven't tried that yet. I'm very satisfied with these and will continue to use them." —E. Sparks

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.97+ (also available in larger quantities).

Promising review: "I was thrilled with how well it cleaned my keyboard, as a cleaner. Everyone should have this on hand. It picks up crumbs that drop into the keyboard and fall around the keys, and it works so easily. It's sort of like the putty we played with as kids. I have dogs who sometimes do a doggy shake, releasing very fine hairs into the air. They sometimes get near or on the keyboard. This picks them up, and that hair/fur is usually pretty hard to pick up. You really can't go wrong with this, and it's reusable. Just put it back into the jar and use it again. It couldn't be easier to use. I very highly recommend this gel. It makes cleaning fun." —Dreamy One

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Easy and works!!! I hate descaling my machine. I’ve had several solutions that don’t work. This is so easy and cleans great after just one time." —Jasa Stovall

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in two larger quantities).

Promising review: "Our garbage disposal was starting to get a little stinky, so I tried one of these out last night. Super easy to use and works great at eradicating the smell and buildup. Just make sure you read the directions and follow the instructions before you start." —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $3.96+ (available in four quantities).

This handy-dandy tool comes with five microfiber cloths, so you can clean your whole darn house in one sweep.

Promising review: "This thing is so simple, but really neat, because it actually helps to make cleaning the blinds easier. I have wide wooden blinds in all of my windows (and I have a lot of windows), and they’re such a pain to clean. I tried this tool after spritzing both the pad and the blinds, and it worked really well. I like that there are a few pads included and that they’re machine-washable." —Terrier Mom

The fan filters come with a Velcro-like adhesive that makes it easy to replace them. Some reviewers noted that removing the adhesive peeled the finish off their fans. Consider installing the filters with Command strips if you're concerned about that!

Promising review: "These things make a tremendous difference in our room! They are so easy to use, catch so much dust, improve airflow (especially in the summer heat), and last up to three months. Will always purchase these." —Bailey Conn

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in packs of three and five).

Promising review: "Pretty nifty gadget. I can clean my screens on my outside porch much more easily, without water or soap, in much less time. Would definitely recommend." —L Cook
