Promising review: "First of all, I can’t believe how inexpensive this is. It cuts through splattered grease from frying chicken and other kitchen mess. Works well on bathroom counter tops, and I’ve even used it on some wood surfaces with great results. No residue or toxic chems, and it smells pleasant. It’ll be hard to replace this as my go-to surface cleaner!" —Cameron

The kit comes with a 10-ounce cleaner and polish bottle, a scrubbing pad, and a razor.

Promising review: "This product was amazing. I've been trying to clean a burnt spot on my electric stove top in my apartment for over a year now, fearful I wouldn't be able to before my next lease is up, since I planned on moving, and this product was the only thing that was able to get my stove looking like new. I never review products on Amazon, but felt this one was so remarkable it deserved a review because it did what five other cleaners couldn't." —Tom Hunsberger

Promising reviews: "Works like magic! No more smelly disposal. Going to make this a weekly habit along with the disposal brush I bought from Amazon too! Makes short work of a nasty job. Other products claim to freshen your disposal for a short time — this cleans and freshens it! Lots of foam in both sinks. I’m impressed!" —Grammy J

"Glisten was easy to use and remarkably cleaned the garbage disposal, leaving a clean, pleasant scent. I’m buying this again." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "My stainless sink had streaks on it from using an ultra-strong cleaner. It left a dark shading that I thought was permanent. I’ve tried scrubs, polishers, natural home remedies from online, and just about everything. I read about this sink cleaner from an online best products on Amazon blog. I figured, I’ve tried everything else, so I bought it. IT WORKED!!! I’m thrilled with this cleaner, and it brought the finish back to my stainless steel sink. Highly recommend this product!!" —loriregin

"I have a ceramic sink, but the drain was old and blackened from years of use. This product cleaned it up and shined the old drain. I had tried everything else but to no avail. Whatever is in this is just what you need for old sink metals." —BonLynLee

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: "MAGIC!! 🌟 This worked miracles!!! I couldn’t get my stainless-steel stove clean, I’ve tried for YEARS. I was ready to get a new stove, but it worked perfectly. I just didn’t like the way it looked. This saved me a bunch of money, and I didn’t have to get a new stove. It looks NEW again!!" —J.J.

"I've used several stainless cleaners. This is, by far, the best. Works well with the included polishing cloth. Received an email to assure personal contact should there be any questions or concerns. Remarkable. Recommending this without hesitation." —Barbara P

Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing! I was very skeptical but I was desperate and had to try it out. Whatever I did to clean my stainless steel appliances wasn’t working at all, it just left what looked like water stains and I could not get rid of it. After using just one towel my appliances looked brand new. I recommend this product 10000000%." —Proudmommy16

Promising reviews: "This little gadget makes my microwave look brand new every time I use it! It’s oddly satisfying watching the steam work its magic on all the stuck-on gunk. Just make sure you have vinegar on hand before you try it — it’s a must for using it properly. A few minutes in the microwave, and cleanup is a breeze. You'll love it too!" —B24

"She's fighting off all that baked-on grime in your microwave. Don't worry, though, she will bring it to its knees, then you simply wipe it off, and your microwave is like new again. If only everything were this easy to clean. This little lady is remarkable and so easy to use once she's done her thing. You can wipe down your microwave in minutes without scrubbing or using toxic chemicals. Great product." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in four colors).

Promising reviews: "I just got a chance to use it, and it was remarkable. It was easy to do the floors, and it was wide enough to go up the side of the woodwork. I also used it on my stairway, and it easily went in between the rails and the woodwork that was carved out, cleaned easily. I am 65, so it's hard to get in the small areas." —Deb Rigano

"The unit is light, so it's very easy to tote around. The spinner works remarkably well in removing water from the mop head so that you can dry off your wet coat. I don't use this on wood floors, mainly tile floors, but it would do a fine job on wood floors also." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $37.20 (also available in bundles with additional cleaning supplies like refills and scent packs).

Look, I traditionally have hated cleaning the floors, but I'm being totally for real with you when I say that this makes everything (ESPECIALLY MOPPING) way easier on my poor chore-adverse psyche. I've got enough to do in my day without adding *deal with gross mop water* to the list, and this eliminates the need for that completely. 

Promising review: "I’m very happy with the Dreame H12 Pro. It makes cleaning my floors so much easier because it vacuums and mops at the same time. It does a great job picking up dust, hair, crumbs, and wet messes, leaving the floors looking clean without using too much water. I especially love the self-cleaning and hot-air drying features because they make maintenance much more convenient. It’s easy to use, saves me a lot of time, and is perfect for everyday cleaning around the house." —Ailin

The starter kit includes one bottle of cleaning concentrate, a bag of oxygen boost, reusable plastic (or glass!) spray bottles, a laundry bottle, and a foaming wash bottle. 

As someone who does not identify as crunchy, y'all, I love this stuff. I am always dubious of the "clean" cleaning products because in my limited experience, they take a whole lot more scrubbing than I have time for. NOT SO WITH THE BRANCH BASICS. This stuff cuts through kitchen grease on countertops, cleans up spills, and gets stains out of clothes all while being gentle enough to wash your hand with when you're finished. Plus, the bottles look fantastic on my counter. (*All* of my counters. I have a bottle in practically every room of the house.) Highly rec for the crunchies, the silkies, and everyone in between! 

Promising reviews: "This is great! I love that it replaces every toxic cleaner in my cabinet and it does it all! It’s strong enough to clean the dishes and get the stains out of the laundry, but still gentle enough to give the toddler a bubble bath. Highly recommended if you’re looking to simplify your cleaning routine." —Mattie S. 

"I love everything in the starter kit. My house feels clean with no strong, harsh cleaner smell. I really like the oxygen boost. I use it on my stainless steel kitchen sink. My windows look great too!" —Penny W.

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: "This product delivers what it says. I used it, and it is remarkable how it cleaned the grout without any harsh smell; instead, a pleasant citrus smell. I will order more, as I have areas to continue cleaning, and I want to have it available when needed. Companies charge you a lot for cleaning grout, and this is a DIY. I left the product for five minutes on the area and then brushed it out. Thank you! You saved me a lot of money!!" —Evelyn Lopez

Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only things that worked, transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda

Promising review: "A miracle product. We recently purchased a house and had it “professionally” cleaned. I was told that there was no way to clean the grout and that I would need someone to come in and redo the grout. I decided to try the Pink Stuff that we had purchased while staying at the house on vacation and was blown away by the results. It went from the darkest most gross grout to almost white! I did along the baseboards as well and what a difference. From looking dirty all the time to clean. I feel much better about the house. If you haven't tried the toilet bowl cleaner, do it!! It another favorite product of mine." —Heather Burger

Promising review: "This works like magic! I would not dare show what my oven looked like, but this cleaner made it SO easy to clean. I sprayed it, left it overnight, sprayed again in the morning, left for a couple of hours, and WHOA! Everything wiped right off. Very impressed!" —Bob

Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use… I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!" —Corey West

Promising review: "I had never even thought of descaling my two-year-old Keurig before Amazon suggested it, but this stuff was cheap, I knew I was supposed to descale regularly, and I knew this kind of descaler wouldn't be as hard to rinse out as the smell of vinegar. I honestly wasn't expecting much, but the next morning it took much less time for the water to heat up and my coffee tasted twice as strong and rich as it did before descaling, which means the brewing temperature is higher now that the heating element isn't caked with mineral deposits. Now I feel a little silly for drinking mediocre coffee for so long." —Lenore

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $16.99.

Promising review: "Prior to purchasing this, our cast-iron cleaning routine consisted of rinsing followed by a quick scrub using coarse sea salt and a paper towel. This gadget is great for a more thorough cleaning, especially on stubborn areas. It's very effective and cleaning is quite easy, requiring nothing more than a quick rinse. The small ring attached to it is useful for hanging on a pot rack. Recommended." —Cooking the Books

Don't forget the MomCozy detergent tablets!

Promising reviews: "This bottle, pump parts washer, sterilizer, and dryer saved my life. If you have a small kitchen or want to save time while washing, sterilizing, and drying bottles, this is definitely worth considering. It doesn’t take much space and is easy to carry. I have been using it every day for almost a year, and it still works very well. There are two wash cycles: Rapid takes 19 minutes, and normal takes 29 minutes. Sterilizing takes 10 minutes, and drying takes 60 minutes. It fits up to eight bottles, including both small and tall bottles." —Celine

"I’m officially 10 days postpartum, and all I can say about this product is THANK GOD! I run this machine on average three times a day! If this thing were to break down on me, I would literally cry. It saves me SO MUCH TIME! I’m so happy I invested in this machine! It has made my days as an FTM so much easier! I would highly recommend it!" —Sydney

Promising review: "Have you ever had problems getting between the tines of your forks clean? Have you ever worried that you might slice yourself with a knife as you washed it? Have you had issues getting your kids to hand wash the silverware/flatware correctly? Well, THIS handy, dandy little gadget will solve all these problems! Just slide the utensil between the two brushes (make sure you're holding the closed end) and scrub vigorously back and forth (or up and down, doesn't matter!) and VOILA! You have a clean utensil with no chance of injury to yourself! I bought this because I was sick and tired of rewashing things after my teenagers washed them, but have ended up using it myself! Enjoy!" —SheBrat

Promising reviews: "I wish I had bought this sooner! We have it in our living room/kitchen area and it is excellent for dispatching dust. It's so sensitive that when our giant dog farted, it ramped up to a higher cleaning level for 90 seconds to clear the air. :) Definitely recommend this purifier-easy set up too." —M. Midwesterner

"The most noticeable benefit is when I am cooking some thing on the stove that might create a little smoke. This filter automatically kicks on at a higher rate to help clear out the kitchen odors better than the kitchen vent alone." —SaraGenX

Promising review: "I have been using these Scrub Daddy sponges for years. They seem coarse at first, but when wet, they soften a bit and do a great job scrubbing granite tops, my glass stove top, as well as pots, pans, and dishes. They do not scratch nonstick pans, and do a great job on all other surfaces. They rinse well (don’t hold odors) and are even cute to look at. They last for months, and I then transition them over to the garage for car cleaning (great for squished bugs on the windshield)." —PAL

These wipes are non-abrasive so they're safe to use on smooth surfaces like car exteriors.

Promising review: "I have a small kitchen, and everything tends to get an oily, greasy film on it very quickly. I don't have a tile backsplash or a range hood, and my fridge is right next to my stove, so the paint on the wall and the textured fridge get pretty disgusting. The tiniest little oil splatter seems to cover my whole kitchen. When these wipes arrived yesterday, I attacked my kitchen with them. They worked amazingly well! I didn't realize how much grease was really sticking to everything until I saw how disgusting the wipes were getting. Luckily, they're huge, so I was able to cover a lot before a needed a new one. I have very sensitive skin, and these didn't dry my hands out at all. I also get severe migraines, which are easily triggered by chemical smells, and these have a nice, lemony scent that didn't trigger me at all. 10 stars!" —Michele West

Promising review: "I find these dishwasher pellets work well and leave my dishwasher spotless and smelling like citrus. Easy to use too." —Matt M.

Promising review: "Very good quality liner. I love the daisy print and it is a good thickness. Super easy to cut (I used a box cutter). Definitely recommend!" —Karen

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in lots of sizes and styles).

Promising review: "Works like a charm. The new design makes it much easier to spray a surface as it has almost a weight to the nozzle trigger, so there is more pressure. Great product that I use for my kitchen. Excellent at removing sticky grease from cabinets, under the microwave, etc." —Josh S

Here's what Maitland has to say about them: "I bought a pack of these and 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 saw these on the good ol' TikTok, and I was blown away by how much dirt it took off the baseboards. As a cleaner, mopping doesn't just do the trick sometimes, and I catch myself on my hands and knees wiping a majority of it away. These sponges come in a pack of four. They are already pre-wet, but they just feel cold to the touch. I ran one along a baseboard, and in less than a second, it took off more than my mop. These are easy to clean, and they dry really fast, so you can reuse them again and again." —smoresgalore
