On heavy food stains, let it set for a few minutes, and it will come off with a light use of a sponge or brush. Rinse and dry. I love Dawn and this spray. It is great at a very good price for a case that will last a very, very long time." —GMK714 Get it from Amazon for $8.44+ (available in three sizes, three scents, and multipacks). Promising review: "The product arrived yesterday, and I finally got to use it today. I’m so impressed with the quality and detail! I applied the cream, let it rest for about five minutes, then polished it with a cloth and a little muscle. The results speak for themselves — easy, quick, and it instantly made my home feel clean and fresh." —monica Get it from Amazon for $19.97 (available in three sizes). Promising review: "I’ve been neglecting my baseboards, but this sponge makes it so easy! I’m very satisfied with the cost benefit, and I think they’re gonna last a long time because you just need to wash them after using." —Frank Michael Smith Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six colors). Promising review: "This is the BEST screen and mesh patio chair cleaner! It makes it so much easier and faster than using rags. I found it works best to start at the bottom and bring it upwards so the handle doesn’t come out. I just used Dawn and hot/warm water in a bucket. My screens have never been so clean…I’m afraid I’ll walk right through them!" —mb1999 Promising review: "If you are looking for a cleaner that will cut through grime and tough stains, you need to get this!! I use this cleaner to clean my shower and tub, along with the grout, and it always leaves my shower looking spotless! It works great for my sink as well. It goes on as a powder and then creates a nice foam as you scrub. Incredible value." —Michael Clark Get it from Amazon for $7.02+ (available in three quantities). Promising review: "OMG. Not sure how I survived five years with my shedding-to-heaven dog without this tool. It just makes the broom obsolete. Picks up more hair than I can even see. Works on many surfaces and gets under tight spaces with ease. The flyaways are gone. Easy hair cleanup and pickup. Also, the broom itself is easy to clean, so you can keep everything hair-free. Thank you for this genius pet tool." —Molly Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in seven styles). Promising review: "Smells great, and works well at cleaning and polishing! I thought my cabinets had finish coming off after being 20+ years old. Nope! It was just years of food/dirt/grease buildup around the handles. This product got it off and made the finish look great!" —Annie Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "This is a powerful little air purifier and is doing a bang-up job improving the air quality in my apartment. I most definitely recommend it for anyone with allergies and breathing issues. It’s lightweight, and the noise level is soft and comforting to me when I am going down for a nap or sleeping at night." —CB Get it from Amazon for $68.98+ (also available in black). Promising review: "I used this for black mold on bathroom grout, and it works 100%. I got an electric scrubber and tried to scrub the black mold, but it won't come off the grout. But after I used this product and left it overnight, the black mold was gone the next day without scrubbing. I am amazed!!! Definitely recommend this product. I've bought two bottles already." —GCNJ Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (clip the coupon to get the 5-ounce bottle at this price; available in two sizes and a two-pack). Promising review: "My bathroom drain was a little slow, so I figured this would help, but I did not expect this much! Although I would not expect to reuse it, I was able to clean it easily enough for repeated passes on the same drain. Pics reflect the first and then the second pass after clearing. Ugh, right? Weird gift, but I'm picking up a few for friends." —coachmom Get a five-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a 10-pack). Promising review: "This IS the BEST product I have ever used to clean my windows, mirrors, and inside my car... Fast, easy, and one swipe with my microfiber cloth to remove dirt, grime, and it's true. (I haven't tried removing with just a squeegee yet.) NO STREAKING!!! I'll never go back to Windex, making a vinegar solution, or even wiping with a newspaper to dry again." —Patricia D. Get it from Amazon for $13.95+ (also available with a microfiber cloth and in multipacks). Reviewers say these filters are super easy to apply with the peel-and-stick adhesive, but some reviewers have found that peeling the adhesive *off* also brought up some of their fan blade finish. If you're a renter, consider installing the filters with Command strips to help avoid damage. Promising review: "This is a no-brainer. After six months, the amount these filters have grabbed out of the air is disturbing! We have one dog who brings in a lot of outside contaminants as well. Every fan in our house has a set." —Emily b Get a three-pack from Amazon for $22.99 (also available in a five-pack). Promising review: "This is the BEST pet stain remover. As someone who has searched for literal YEARS to find an effective and cheap stain remover, while eliminating odor and taking off that filmy feel on carpet. I have gone through two bottles of this, and it's absolutely amazing!!! See photos [above], but these stains have been in this carpet for roughly four years…and nothing has worked until this product after ONE use." —yoon Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two sizes and two scents). Promising review: "This saved my cleaning project! Super easy to use (already loaded with batteries) and has a lot of power for being so small and light. Works without a lot of elbow grease, and the attachments are easy to switch out. The little nook and cranny tool was a lifesaver when trying to remove my shower’s seal. It helped peel off so we could re-grout. It’s a great buy for some power cleaning you could do every day." —Jaksonn19 Promising review: "These are fantastic if you have children with fingers!! Our kids love touching everything but the handles on our fridge door." —Steve Schinsky Promising review: "This is the best cleaning product I’ve ever used, particularly for a stovetop. My stovetop was covered in grime from Thanksgiving cooking. All I did was put a little of The Pink Stuff paste on it, didn’t even have to let it set, used a rag with warm water, and it came right off. It’s fantastic and now the only thing I use in the kitchen for deep cleans!" —Julie H Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (also available in a two-pack and a bundle with a scrubber sponge). Promising review: "Let's be honest: Cleaning the oven is one of the most dreaded household chores. The baked-on grease, the charred food spills — it's a nightmare. For years, I've tried various methods, from natural remedies to scrubbing for hours, with limited success. Then I discovered Easy-Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner (Lemon Scent, 14.5-ounce can), and it has absolutely revolutionized my oven-cleaning routine. This product is nothing short of miraculous." —JustJeppi Get it from Amazon for $3.83+ (available in two scents and a two-pack). Promising review: "Best purchase ever. I have two messy toddlers, and it cleans every mess with ease. I love how light it is, and how you can self-clean it with the attachment, and it leaves my carpets so soft and clean, and dry. I recommend getting it for anyone who has kids!!!" —Rose abdulrida Get it from Amazon for $109.99 (also available in a mini version in three colors). Promising review: "I need baby/kid-safe wipes, so the traditional Clorox doesn't work for me. I was using Clorox compostable, but they’ve become impossible to find, so I decided to try these by Seventh Generation. I already use a few household products from the brand, but I had not seen the wipes in stores. We’ve been using these for over a week now, and we are very pleased with their wipes! The smell is great, and they get the job done. They’re kid safe, which is most important for me!" —Borderline basic Get a three-pack from Amazon for $17.97 (also available individually and in a seven-pack). Promising review: "These are the best for getting marks off of painted walls that don't have washable paint. They work by removing the mark with a gentle abrasive and also provide a slight masking effect to finish the job. They can also be used wet on surfaces such as tile. I have lived in many houses and have always tried to leave each one in better condition than it was when I got it; this product really helps." —VHH Promising review: "Love it! I have taller ceilings and always had to stand on a chair to dust the walls, vents, and ceiling fans. With the extension, I was able to stay safely on the floor. The rod was extremely lightweight and easy to use. I was surprised at how much dust it picked up. I was able to do all walls, baseboards, fans, and vents for my two-bedroom with one duster. I feel like I got my money’s worth in just one use. My space stays neat and tidy too." —StacyT Promising review: "Easy to use. Just tear the bag, drop the pouch in, and turn on the hot water. This product produces a lot of cleaning, pleasant-smelling foam. Very citrusy smell. Works really well and is definitely worth the money. No more smelly sink smell." —Alex Kenobi Get a two-count pack from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in a 16-count). Promising review: "Have used this item many times. I have hard water, and it helps remove the water stains and leaves the inside of the machine clean. It also helps with spots on dishes, glasses, silverware, etc. Easy to use." —Carla E. Mann Promising review: "I was amazed that this worked exactly as described. I had a hard water ring around a toilet that would not come off with regular cleaners. I took a chance on this and was not disappointed. It completely removed the water stain with a minimum amount of effort. Definitely recommend!" —BOSSMARE 92 Get it from Amazon for $13.75+ (also available in multipacks). Promising review: "Very effective! After just one use, the unpleasant odor in my washing machine was completely gone. Super easy to use — just drop one tablet in and run a cleaning cycle. The washer smells fresh and clean now, and my clothes feel cleaner too. Highly recommend and will repurchase!" —Caitlyn Get it from Amazon for $11.26+ (available in three quantities). Promising review: "Wow! This product really sealed up my quartzite countertop nicely! One coat brought all kinds of new life to an already new countertop. That was months ago, and it continues to last in that same perfect condition. Very, very nice shine! Now, when I go over it occasionally with a 100% cotton rag and just a little dish soap, it dazzles!" —Dave Nelson Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a two-pack with or without a microfiber cloth). Promising review: "It worked great! I was able to remove very stubborn oil stains from my driveway and pavement. All other products I tried couldn't remove these stains. I applied Chomp! to the stains, let it dry up, and the stains disappeared after I removed the crust." —segovean Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).
