This TikTok of the Wet and Forget shower cleaner will make you see why it's one of the easiest ways to clean your shower. Promising review: "This is truly amazing. As a cleaning lady, this has helped me in my cleaning jobs and especially at home. Leave it overnight, and all you’ll need is water, literally. Idk what I’ll do if they ever stop making this product." —Barbara E Cevantes Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). Promising reviews: "I personally haven’t used this, but the lady who cleans my house says it’s great. She specifically asked me to buy it for her to use, and she’s been cleaning homes for 18 years, and she’s meticulous. She always leaves my home spotless. She also recommends the little scrubber sponges of the same brand." —LJ "I was looking for something to clean brass. I must have looked lost because a nice lady, who happened to be a professional cleaner, saw me with a container of this and highly recommended it. SO glad I listened to her advice! It works like magic!! I've used it on all sorts of brass and copper items and my very old, ugly shower door — which now looks new... old-style, but new-looking! The key is to rub. You don't need a lot of elbow grease to get the job done. Just a soft cloth and time." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (also available as a two-pack and in a bundle with a Sqeezy Scrubber Sponge). Check out this Rain-X TikTok cleaning hack that will keep your shower door sparkling and see-through! Promising review: "I have cleaned houses as a side gig for over 20+ years, and no product I have ever found gets out all of the water spots like this does! This could have saved me hundreds of hours of scrubbing glass shower doors. 🙄 Ugh! Why didn't I know about this sooner!?" —Mr. Pop Check out this TikTok of the Therapy stainless steel cleaning spray working miracles!! Therapy Clean is a family-owned and operated small business dedicated to creating cleaning products that make your home shine. Promising reviews: "I purchased it for my use. Then, before ever using it, I hired a cleaning lady. I purchase the cleaning products that she uses, and she has certain things she insists I purchase. But this line works better than the things she normally uses, so she likes me to keep getting these. While she also loves the glass stovetop and wood cleaners in this line, the stainless steel cleaner is her absolute favorite! And I am amazed at the results when she is done!" —S. J. Salem Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a two-pack). Promising reviews: "Professional approved. A housekeeper I hired requested these specifically." —Deb "I asked some professional house cleaners about what their favorite products are, and this was at the top of their list. They got visibly excited when talking about it. Lasts a long time, doesn't scratch, is effective, and hot and cold water affects the stiffness. The holes are perfect for finger leverage, and the smile is perfect for a spoon — not only for cleaning spoons but as a kind of handle for the Scrub Daddy to clean hard-to-reach areas. It makes cleaning efficient without scratching. I would rather have one of these than 10 of any other sponge or abrasive pad. Add some of The Pink Stuff if you need more of an abrasive scrub." —Jeff Betz Get a three-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in multipacks). Promising reviews: "My cleaning lady sent me a link to this product. I love it!" —TVNBH "This broom was one of the best purchases EVER. I was looking for a broom with an adjustable handle (easier to use from a wheelchair), to pick up dog hair on wood floors and area rugs. This broom was AMAZING. I ordered two more to keep in different parts of the home. My cleaning lady loved it and ordered one, and over the summer, I ordered three more for friends that were amazed at how well it worked. I use the bristle side for wood floors and the squeegee side on area rugs. This works better than vacuuming the area rugs." —Snowbird29 Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes). Wanna see how it works? Check out the Glisten garbage disposer foaming cleaner TikTok here! Promising review: "I bought these on the recommendation of a professional home cleaner, and I'm glad I did. They really get all that hard-to-reach gunk out of your garbage disposal and keep it smelling (and looking) clean and fresh for a week to a month (depending on usage). I will continue to repurchase this item!" —Karen Get it from Amazon for $3.96 (also available as a two-pack). Promising review: "The lady who makes my house beautiful comes every two weeks. Recently, she had a cancellation, and I was lucky to have her back. She suggested the product and does seem happy with it. I was tired of cleaning the rubber with wipes every night — like everything stuck. I do notice that the rubber above the disposal seems to stay cleaner since she has started to use using this." —Lee The kit comes with a 10-ounce cleaner and polish bottle, a scrubbing pad, and a razor. Promising review: "My cleaning lady used it on my stovetop, and I liked how it cleaned, so I'm now using it weekly." —plm Here's a TikTok of the Car Guy's upholstery cleaner in action! Promising review: "I sell cars, and our detail department, with their professional chemicals, can't take care of weird spots on light upholstery to a customer's liking. But this stuff can!!! And fast! And easy!! And it doesn't smell bad!! So recommend!" —Brake Lights Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "This picks up the cat or dog hair and stores it for you so you don’t have to collect it in your hand. It’s very effective. My cleaning lady used one at my house and accidentally left it there, so I tried it and then bought myself my own." —Lisa Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors and a travel version). Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: "How did I not know about this awesome product sooner? My furniture provider told me about it after a move left marks on a white sofa and chair. I tested a spot on the side first that would not be noticeable, and was good to go with the marks on the front of the sofa. With one spray, the marks were gone! Next, I used it on a spot on a custom rug where my pet threw up. A professional carpet cleaner couldn't lift it, but Folex did! It's gone too! Highly recommend it — just test a spot that is not so visible first to make sure it doesn't harm the fabric or rug." —Karla Haley Promising review: "These are really good cloths. I own a house-cleaning company and bought one set for my ladies to try out. They absolutely love them! I ordered two more sets for one of my cleaners, she wants to use these cloths not just on mirrors but also on sliding doors and shower doors. These cloths are durable and large enough to use in a professional house cleaning business + you don't have to use any Windex, just water." —Anna A. Soloveva Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.98. Promising review: "When it comes to house cleaning, I’m always looking for a way to get through it quicker and more efficiently. I saw the cleaning lady next door using this brush on window screens and thought, ‘if a pro uses it, it must be advantageous’. When my Life Unit Mesh Screen Cleaner arrived, without hesitation, I opened it and gave it a try on one of my dirtiest screen doors, and it was awesome. So simple and fast to pull off the dust and dirt lodged in the screen. Although I thought a longer handle would be better, I can see how the shorter handle gives the brush more stability. Once the brush is full of grime, I give it a quick wash by hand with warm, soapy water and go back for more rounds until the cleaning is done. Water doesn’t affect how well it cleans. In the past, I’ve used stiff paint brushes, a vacuum cleaner, dry cleaning brushes, a hose and water, etc., for cleaning the screens. Never again. I’ve used this product several times and have been very pleased." —DeeB Promising review: "I am a house cleaner, and this has worked out great for getting lint out from under and in the dryer." —Chris Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors). This handy-dandy tool comes with five microfiber cloths, so you can clean your whole darn house in one sweep. Promising review: "My cleaning lady thanked me for this! She loves it!!!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "I have a jetted tub that is 23 years old. I quit using it due to the ' cooties' that would float out of the system. I have tried using bleach several times a year, but I still have problems. I did two cycles of Oh Yuk! and was amazed at what came out. My cleaning lady was at my house and saw the gunk coming out. She immediately ordered one gallon to use on her customers' homes." —tfallsteach Promising review: "This is the best product ever invented. It does the job so well. I use it because I have a male dog who lifts his leg everywhere. So annoying. My cleaning lady really likes it; she says it’s the best that she has ever come across. I will definitely purchase more in the future. Works great in a spray bottle. Love it." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes and four scents). Promising reviews: "Exactly what my cleaning lady asked for. She is delighted with it, and so am I." —P. Corrigan "So I am a cleaning lady. I clean every day of the week. I have a new client that had this mop/bucket. I was skeptical. I tried it and loved it. Most of my clients have purchased this for me to have in their homes. They trust my opinion in its value and its worth, and it makes my job so much more efficient." —Queeny Get it from Amazon for $37.20 (also available in bundles with additional cleaning supplies, such as refills and scent packs). Promising review: "I bought this to condition spots on my hardwood floor where furniture has rubbed, which worked great. Then my cleaning lady used it to clean all of the wood furniture in the house, and WOW. Everything looked amazing, and it helped it not collect dust as quickly." —Victoria Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two sizes). Here's a satisfying grout-cleaning TikTok. Clean-Eez is a small business based in Indiana that sells cleaning products to help you take care of your tile and grout, remove stains and odors, polish wooden floors, and clean stone surfaces. Promising review: "Our cleaning lady fought mildew in the shower tile grout. She tried this, and it worked instantly! She raves about this and bought some for her own home." —Georgia Guy Get two bottles and a brush from Amazon for $41.95. Promising review: "My cleaning lady introduced me to a pumice stone for my toilets years ago. Happy to find them on Amazon." —Mary Collins Promising review: "My cleaning lady complained my old vacuum wasn't working very well, so I bought her this unit. She used it for the first time yesterday and loved it. Lightweight, powerful, and easy to use. She also used one of the attachments with the hose to clean the blinds on my windows, and couldn't believe how fast the blinds were cleaned. She's happy and so am I!!!!!" —Kindle Customer Promising review: "I love this mop. Our cleaning lady has one. It's great because the mophead swivels to get those hard-to-reach places, and I love that there is no need for any wringing out. I just take the mop pad off, you can clean it by hand or toss it in the wash machine." —mary pepin Get it from Amazon for $21.58+ (available in ten colors). Promising review: "My cleaning lady loves it. Did a great job on washing ceilings in no time." —Sadie Cat Check out a full write-up of this "witchcraft and magic" here!
