I am a NYC-based fellow on the BuzzFeed Shopping team. This comes with seven replaceable brush heads and their respective chargers. Promising review: "This spin scrubber made it really easy to clean tough spots like my bathtub. Instead of bending down and putting so much effort in you can stand up and let the scrubber do its thing with some cleaning products sprayed onto the surface. Overall, it’s a good product if you’re a little lazy when it comes to cleaning." —72783 Just a heads-up: Skip this one if your countertops are natural marble, or give it a test run on a small spot before going all in. Promising review: "My shower had not been cleaned in a hot minute as I am pregnant and got lazy in my first and part of second trimester. It got pretty gunky and I sprayed this stuff down left it overnight and just hosed it down and did a light scrub on the grout and the shower was good as new. The glass doors have never looked so good. 10 out of 10 recommend." —Jamie Gaita Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of two). Promising review: "Works! I have a dog and a cat and am a neat freak. The dust/dander everywhere was driving me nuts, and this has done the trick. A few quick swipes and my apartment instantly cleans up. It's also light enough that it'll clean without knocking over anything, which is fantastic if you're feeling lazy." —Maria Promising review: "I love these so much. I hate mopping my floor. It’s the worst chore I can think of. But with the moppy socks, I just spray my floor and shuffle my feet along, and my floors have never been cleaner. I actually enjoy cleaning the floors now. I wish I had discovered these years ago. Thank you!!" —amanda lynn Get a pack of five pairs from Amazon for $7.86. Promising review: "So I absolutely hate cleaning, but I do it because.... Gross! Lol. Seriously, I bought a tub of the pink stuff because I saw it on TikTok and wanted to see if it lived up to the awesomeness from the video. I used it on my glass shower doors and OMG. THE EASE of cleaning! The smell was wonderful, like a fruity smell. After I used it in the shower, I immediately ordered a second tub. I still had one cleaning glove on!! This stuff is SO GOOD! If you don't have it, 🗣️ GET IT!!!!!!!! —MsKlw85 Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a pack of two and three). Promising review: "My mother swore by Fantastic — I learned that it was the best back then, and it really is still a wonderful disinfectant and all-purpose cleaner. Spray is easy — the ingredients are not harsh, smell good without having a sweet additive, and leave your surfaces streak-free. A really great product." —vegas value buyer Get the all-purpose version from Amazon for $3.82 (also available in bleach and kitchen and grease versions). Promising review: "I honestly didn’t expect to like this as much as I do. I usually hate cleaning the shower, but this actually made it easier. The handle is super convenient, especially for reaching lower areas without bending too much. Overall, it just makes bathroom cleaning less annoying, and I’ll probably keep using it." —Angelina Get one device and two refills from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in two devices + six refills). Promising review: "This is great! I hate cleaning ovens and works fabulous and so easy to use. Sprayed it on to clean overnight and everything wiped off clean as a whistle! Highly recommend!!" —Sandy Promising review: "I hate cleaning the microwave and I honestly wasn’t expecting much from this product, BUT this is amazing! Follow the directions and you literally just wipe out the microwave so easily. I wish I had this years ago." —Leeleemeimei Promising review: "These tablets work great with our stainless steel Ninja coffee bar carafe. I use two tablets every few months, let it sit for hours (or overnight if I'm feeling lazy), and the coffee pot looks brand new! Also used on my travel size Yeti with great results!" —Andrea M Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $10 (also available in packs of 36 and 78). Promising review: "These are neat, easy to use, and do a wonderful job of cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing the garbage disposal. Cleaner is contained in a neat paper packet that can be dropped into the disposal -- no need to get your hands dirty or chance getting caustic chemicals on them. Does an excellent job." —Auntie Annie Get a pack of four from Amazon for $7.68. Promising review: "VERY easy to use! I was doing so much reading into deep cleaning washers, and let’s face it — I’m lazy! This product worked great, smells great, and I’ll definitely be a repeat customer! Makes me want to keep up to date with deep cleaning!" —Andy D Get a pack of six from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of 12). Promising review: "Had an old stain from cat vomit and was too lazy to drag out carpet shampooer. Tried this and I was shocked at how easy it was to use, and it lifted the stain out 100%." —sunny Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49 (also available in a pack of 40). Promising review: "Super easy to use and empty, keeps me from using the excuses of being tired, lazy when it comes to the vacuum or handheld, or not wanting to buy more lint rollers!" —Raegan Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in white, black, red, as well as cat and dog patterns). Promising review: "I have a lot of makeup brushes and I was always lazy to wash them one by one, but this machine saved me a lot of time. It cleans them super well and also dries them quickly, so I no longer have to wait hours to use them again. I liked that it is easy to use and does not take up much space. I have used it several times, and so far everything is perfect. My brushes were soft and clean, even the biggest ones. I feel it's really worth it for the price." —Dianela Guitierrez Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (also available in grey). And it could help with your acne, too, because washing your makeup tools cuts down the amount of dirt and bacteria that tend to accumulate on them over time. (Oh, and it's cruelty-free.) Promising review: "Cleans like magic. My mind is blown at how this soap works. I have tried all kinds of soap (Beauty Blender soap, Ivory bar soap, MAC brush cleaner, Dawn dish soap, etc). I am very thorough, but I could never get my sponges or brushes completely clean. But a little soak in a small bowl with this EcoTools soap, and the makeup comes right out. A little rubbing and squeezing is all it takes. I’m a convert." —ss3745 Get a pack of one from Amazon for $20 (also available in a pack of two). Promising review: "I'm a lazy bastard, I'll admit it. I bought my keyboard in 2021 and haven't given it as thorough a cleaning as I should have. You can imagine the dust and dirt that had accumulated in four years. So, I decided to pull the trigger. Absolutely wonderful product. Worth every dime." —Eric N. Frankel Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three colors). Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Senior Editor Natalie Brown has to say about it: "I bought a bottle of this stuff when I moved in 2021 — it was super useful then, and since that point I've used it to clean stubborn grease off of kitchen cabinets and my stove's hood several times, and pulled it out for several other mystery sticky stains and messes. But the move story is the most compelling: Back then, my partner had hung up these posters that used big foam adhesive squares (no, they were not Command Strips), and when we pulled them off the wall, they left a bunch of foam and sticky stuff behind. Goo Gone (plus a plastic scraper) came to the rescue! It took a little patience, but the stuff would never have come off without the Goo Gone. It helped break down both the foam stuff and the adhesive, which came off in little bits, leaving nothing behind. We did then wash off the paint with some dish soap and water — Goo Gone is super greasy — but by the end, you couldn't tell anything had been there at all, and the paint was undamaged." Promising review: "This honestly feels like using magic. You leave it on a gluey residue for a minute then it wipes right off. Must have in any household in my opinion." —Arielle Kalatizadeh Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a single pack). Promising review: Yes, I've been lazy and not dealt with the nasty-looking ring in my toilet. A little elbow grease and 10 minutes, my bowl is sparkling again. Good product." —DEhmann Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of two, four, and six). Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is that you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them with the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value, being reusable and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $.699 (available in blue or green). Promising reviews: "The best stuff ever and easy to use! Cleaned our fireplace, including the glass doors, quickly without etching the glass in one treatment!" —L. M. McCormick "This stuff was amazing! It was super easy to use and has no smell at all. The bottom of our fireplace was covered in black dust from a chimney sweep we had done. It took it back to 1992 when it was fresh brick! I’m very impressed!" —Nicole An indicator light will turn on to let you know that the canister is full, and then you can remove the canister and dump the debris in the trash. Promising review: "I absolutely love this magic floor sucker. I live in the Rocky Mountains with four large dogs and two cats. It makes sweeping not so bad and much more manageable. You just sweep it to the vac, and it sucks it up. LOVE IT." —MaryKat Get it from Amazon for $169 (available in three colors). Reviewers have successfully used this on fences, mesh outdoor chairs, Sunbrella chair cushions, decks, vinyl siding, and cedar siding. Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille Promising review: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only makes for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." —LauraP320 * Products For Anyone Who Wants A Clean Home Without, You Know, Actually Cleaning * Helpful Things For Anyone Whose Arch Nemesis Is Dust * Cleaning Products That’ll Whip Your Home Into Shape * Products If You’re Tired Of All The Stains, Slobber, And Stank Your Furry Friend Leaves Behind * Products For Anyone Who Longs To Have A Clean, Organized Home BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: Our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
