When you reaaallyyyy don’t want to scrub the oven, you learn a thing or two about working smarter, not harder.

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.

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

Promising reviews: "What doesn't it do? I absolutely love this product. It works great on dishes and pretty much anything you want to clean! Soap scum; gone! Laundry stains; bye! Baseboards/woodwork sparkle! Sneakers, yup! I hate cleaning, so anything that makes it easier. ❤️" —Kimba

"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

Promising review: "It was that time of year when all of the autumn leaves were falling and the crummy fall weather was settling in. The ground and leaves were soaked with freezing rain water and we began our miserable task of raking and bagging leaves for community curbside pickup. These Leaf Scoops made picking up the leaves SO MUCH easier than messing around with several rakes. Simply rake the leaves into a pile, then put on the Leaf Scoops to pickup and bag the leaves. The scoops really help grab a large amount of leaves and also save your back from bending all the way to the ground. I would definitely recommend these to family and friends! Pair these with a leaf chute for your paper bags and you will be scooping and bagging leaves like a pro..." —brian

This includes seven attachments: a large and small brush, pointed brush, sponge, scouring pad, fiber sponge, and cloth brush. Also, the battery lasts about 90 minutes on a full charge. 

Promising review: "This little thing is so powerful. It takes the muscle out of cleaning. It got my shower so clean in way less time. I usually have to scrub for hours when I let my shower get this bad, and I have to use a million products, but this brush made it so much easier and faster. The different-sized heads were easy to swap out, and I could get into the corners easily. It also has an adjustable handle so I didn’t have to reach high to get the top of the walls or hurt my back from bending over to scrub the bottom. It powered through the hard water and soap scum in my shower, leaving it sparkling! Ican’t wait to use this on other areas of my house!" —Jasmine

Promising review (it's long but worth it): "I HATE cleaning my oven, and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that worked....the first time. Got on Amazon and read the product description and instructions, and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." —Sandra Stephens

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: "SO impressed with this product! Nothing was getting this buildup off the tub, and then I tried this upon recommendation. I am blown away by the results and how easy it is to use. No scrubbing, just spray, rinse after 24 hours, and go! Definitely will be buying this for the rest of my life. Also has a very nice light smell!" —Casey 

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 review: "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

Get it from Amazon for $12.94+ (also available in other pack amounts). 

They come in a convenient 12"x24" size, so they'll probably fit on your main shelves, and all you have to customize are the liners for the door shelves.

Promising review: "I love these because I hate cleaning the refrigerator shelves. These have been a lifesaver. If they do get dirty or spills happen, I throw them in washing machine and hang to dry. Highly recommend." —keywestlvr

Get a set of six from Amazon for $15.07+ (available in 19 colors and designs).

Promising review: "These little covers are just fantastic! Easy to cut and form to the burners I need, super easy to wipe off or quick rinse if need be. They WILL burn if too close to the flame but it doesn't burn beyond what is touching the flame. I bought them because my guy, though a FANTASTIC cook and baker, is just a tad messy on the stove top, lol. This has helped me keep the stove top much cleaner. I have reused the original four of these for a year and finally just tossed the two most used/dirtied and replaced them. These are just amazing and very durable!" —AngsChaos

Get an 8-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in up to five colors and three sizes).

Promising reviews: "LOVE THIS! I hate cleaning my bathroom and using so many chemicals that never seem to work. I saw this product and decided to try it, and WOW, it was so easy to use and worked like magic on my glass shower, shower tiles, and sink/faucet. Picture 1: Before cleaning Picture 2: After cleaning glass before cleaning tile floor Picture 3: After Cleaning glass and tile floor. This is definitely a must-buy product!!!!" —Laura

"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 was in shock. 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

Promising review: "Between myself (medium/long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in a two-pack). 

Promising review: “I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99. 

Promising review: "So glad I found these!! I could not get the mildew smell out of my front-load washer. I regularly used bleach or vinegar/baking soda to clean it, but the smell never fully went away. I've tried the Tide washing machine cleaners without much luck, either, not to mention they are expensive. I tried Affresh as soon as it arrived. I did have to use three tablets in a row to fully get rid of the smell the first time, but my washer smells great!! No odor! I am a customer for life! Now I just use one tablet each month and have had no more odor problems." —Michelle

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

Promising review: "OMG, it worked. I've tried everything under the sun to get rid of mold on the door seal/bellows on my clothes washer. Nothing made a dent. I put this on and left it for the next day. When I looked there was nothing to wipe off and no evidence that there was any mold ever. I highly recommend this product." —Peter Callinicos 

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes). 

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

Get the kit (one wand and six scrubbers) from Amazon for $11.99 (also available in a kit with 16 refills). 

Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews, but this product is amazing. I’ve struggled with stains in our toilets because of well water. I’ve tried product after product, elbow grease, and straight bleach, but could never completely get the mineral stains and lime scale off. I found this and decided it was worth a try. It is a miracle worker!!! I removed all the stains from five toilets within 45 minutes. No scratches, and I still have a third of the original pumice — it’s durable and well worth the small cost of the product. I’m a customer for life!!" —Kimberley B. 

Get it from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in packs of two, four, six, and 12). 

It's super quick to install, and also great for anyone who doesn't like the look of those cleaning stamps. 

Promising review: "I used to use those deodorizer tablets for all my toilets in my home, and they worked. However, the chemicals from the tablets would harden the plastic/rubber flap valves in the toilet and cause them to slowly leak overnight. My water bill would be high every month. Once I switched to the Fluidmaster 8300 dispenser, keeping my toilets clean and odorless became easy. Plus, maintenance on my toilets decreased! The cartridges last three months, and replacing them requires no tools. Highly recommend." —Mikiloti

Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (also sold as refills).

Promising review: "We let a neighbor kid use our dryer, not realizing he had crayons in his pockets. We did our best at the time to clean it, but there were still obvious stains inside. It sat in storage for a year and a half before I went at it again. I googled tricks to get crayon off, tried WD-40 like many advised, Goo Gone, nothing made that crayon budge. I happened to see The Pink Stuff listed on a Buzzfeed list, and decided to try it. WOW. It took just a little elbow grease, but not even close to what I was expecting. Its scent is really mild, too. If you have a stubborn stain, try it out! It truly is a miracle worker." —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in multipacks and in a kit with their sponge). 

To use, simply place the cleaning pod in place of your coffee and brew a large cup, then follow-up with a water-only cycle.

Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn’t that old and I didn’t think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn’t as nasty as some I’ve seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

When you’re done, press the button, open the remover, empty it out, and it's ready to use again! Check out a TikTok of the ChomChom in action. 

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds." 

Promising review: "I’ll admit it — I’m a skeptic by nature. When I saw all the glowing reviews calling this product 'life-changing,' I may have rolled my eyes once or twice. But as a very Type A person who was [so over] dog hair everywhere (even after vacuuming), I decided to give it a shot. And… wow. Consider me converted. The reviews weren’t lying — this thing really is life-changing. It’s become my new obsession, and I actually have to hide it in the closet just so I’ll stop using it." —A

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

Promising review: "This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work, so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber, and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors, once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderful, clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." —Vicky Faurot

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents).

Promising reviews: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! Wishing I’d bought one years ago, when my son was born. We don’t even have pets, but this has been an amazing machine to clean our sofa, mattresses, car seats, stairs — everywhere that has seen spills over the years. I hate cleaning, but I actually enjoy using this — it’s so easy and fun to use! Thank you, Bissell designers." —Modern Homeschoolers

"Pet owner lifesaver. This machine is great, and I like that it does upholstery as well. It’s so easy to use and minimizes the yuck factor of dealing with pet stains. That’s important to me because I hate tackling cleaning jobs like this. It’s compact and easy to store in a small space. The cord is nice and long, and it’s not too heavy. It saves having to get an expensive cleaner for the occasional accident. YouTube has some great tips on video." —Zona lady

Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (also available in a deluxe or mini styles in three colors).

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 set of four from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs and in a pack of two and eight).

Promising reviews: "Love these hair catchers. I have a lot of hair, and the hair catcher definitely prevents it from going down the shower drain. They are disposable, but they stay on for weeks. Absolutely love this product. Highly recommend." —Godspeed6

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

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 can vouch for 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 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)." 

Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in two sizes, as a two-pack, as a refill, and as a pen).

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

They're also large, thick, and durable! 

Promising review: "This stuff really is magical! When we moved into our house, the previous owners did a horrible job of cleaning the stainless-steel appliances. There were permanent run marks going down the front that I could not remove....and I tried EVERYTHING. I should note that I’m not actually positive that these appliances are true stainless steel or just manufactured to look like that. I wanted to cry tears of joy after wiping down the dishwasher because I had been looking at those awful run marks for three years, and they were finally gone! The whole tub is worth it for that appliance alone." —MayBae

Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right off! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in three sizes and as a two-pack).

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: "I did not think I could ever get excited about a cleaning product because in all honesty I never have...I just clean but this is the first time ever I got so excited after seeing the finished results of cleaning all my stainless steel appliances. They came out so beautiful, and the scent was pleasant, and knowing it is all natural just made it even better. I am sold for life on this product and will never use anything else. I am definitely going to check out their other products now." —LAT71

Promising review: "Ok so I jumped on the garbage disposal bandwagon so late but so happy I did. You know how sometimes there could be a weird smell in your kitchen and you can’t figure out where it’s coming from if everything else is clean?? It’s coming from your drain!! These really help freshen up everything and keep your drain smelling as fresh as possible and are SO easy to use! They go on once a week and you have nice clean drains without funky smells coming from them. Lastly loveeee the price so I plan to be a customer for life." —PERLA GUTIERREZ

Get a bag with four packets from Amazon for $3.96 (also available in larger packs). 

The cleaner is free of phosphorous and ammonia. 

Promising review: "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

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $23.99 (also available as an eight-pack). 

Promising review: "Didn’t think it would work, but it DID with no scrubbing!! My husband didn’t think our grout was originally white, but I knew better. I put this on before bed on a section of grout in the shower, and woke up to gorgeous and bright white, no scrubbing at all the next morning. Just rinse it off. Absolutely buying another bottle. It wasn’t quite enough for my entire shower, but to be fair, we have a lot of small tiles. I think two bottles will get the whole shower floor. Bravo on a great product." —thekuan

Promising review: "I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter." —Shari Schmidt

Promising review: "I had had it with my broken basic mop and bucket. I tried to just get a dollar store Swiffer to get us by, but that wasn't cutting it at all. With three boys and a dog that makes his rounds on all the furniture and every exposed corner, I had to do something. After seeing a TikTok where a woman demonstrated this mop to clean her walls and hearing my boss raving about it, I decided to click the Amazon button. Let me tell you, I HATE cleaning, I HATE mopping, but I LOVE for things to be clean. I was able to mop the entire house TWICE (Because it was that dirty. Please don't judge.) within an hour. A few days later, I mopped the entire house again within 10 minutes because it wasn't quite as dirty. On another positive note, my boys love the spinner and think it’s a toy! So, every time I get the bucket out, my 10-year-old and 4-year-old ask to mop the house because they think it’s fun. MAJOR BONUS!" —Molly
