Sorry in advance for reminding you that the baseboards need dusting and that there's a funky smell coming from your washing machine. Promising review: "We have hard well water and I have been struggling for years to remove the brown toilet ring and stains around the bowl in my toilet. I have tried [so many types of cleaners]. I left each to sit for hours and each of them did absolutely NOTHING to remove any of the stains. A pumice stone did take some off but it took forever just to clean one tiny little spot, so the whole bowl would have taken hours or even days to finish, not to mention I felt like I was going to scratch the bowl. I saw this brand mentioned in a cleaning group online and decided I have nothing to lose. I used a blue Scotch Brite scrubber pad to apply this and it actually WORKED!! The photo shows the bottom half is the part that I used BioClean on and the top half still has the ring and brown stains. My toilet bowl has never looked actually clean like that since we first moved into this house and it was a brand new toilet. I still have to do the rest of the toilet but I am so glad I found this product. All other toilet bowl cleaners are basically useless to me, I will be purchasing this item from Amazon for life. It also cleaned stains off my brushed nickel faucet and porcelain sink that no other cleaner had touched. There is no strong chemical scent either." —StillWaters Get it from Amazon for $15.77+ (available in three sizes). The double-sided cleaner can be used with the extended handle or as a handheld brush, and can be used either wet or dry. It's also reusable — just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses. Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink, and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here." Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in two sizes, larger packs, and in a kit with cleaning pads). Btw— Hope's also makes a countertop cleaner and polish! Promising review: "Holy moly guys.. this stuff is AMAZING. I have a cheap plastic tub-shower combo in my rental apartment, and I've tried everything to clean the mold and mildew buildup. Countless hours of scrubbing and money on different products. I've even considered replacing it on my own dime. I sprayed this product, and without any scrubbing, it all disappeared! I was so happy. The real test was my washing machine. It had built up mold on the rubber gasket around the door. Another thing I've spent time and money on to get clean without any results. I sprayed a little and let it sit for 20 minutes, and when I checked, it was almost completely gone! I wiped it up, sprayed a little more, and it came back in 20 minutes, and it was like new. The only warning: if you use it in a closed space like a bathroom, turn on the vent, window, fan, and use a mask because the smell is strong. Aside from that.. I am a customer for life. So glad I came across this product." —Dennise Delgado Get a two-pack from Amazon for $25.95 (available in three sizes and sold individually). Promising reviews: "I laughed when I first saw the picture of this item. I thought, well, if they don’t work, I’ll use them for a costume. But they are amazing at pulling weeds. I use mine for those pesky weeds in the rocks. One pull and you get root and all." —cynthia Williams "Not gonna lie, these things are FUN. Using a claw tool is useful, but it's way more fun to go at the dirt like a happy puppy with these gloves. Go after that turf like you're Catwoman. Whip that garden into shape like you're Black Panther. Makes gardening a little more silly and whimsical, and sometimes that's what I need to accomplish my chores." —Theresa Tomblin Get it from Amazon for $5.96+ (available in three colors and as a pack of two). This is made with a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel. Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small biz that sells tools to make weeding easier. Promising review: "Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." —JG The microfiber dusting head is completely removable and machine-washable. Promising review: "This sucker is LOOOONG. It's also short when you need it to be. But its length is one of its greatest assets, being able to reach even those ceiling beams you couldn't reach before. Finally reach the tops of picture frames that are hanging in awkwardly high places. Clean off the poles that extend the drop of the ceiling fans. Dust the corner speakers mounted at the ceiling. This is what I did in no time at all with this duster, and despite nearly two years of web buildup in some high places, I got the whole job done in just a few minutes. Seriously, you can wipe down all the webs that have been built — all without standing directly beneath the duster! The extra length also means no unexpected guests are going to drop down your shirt while you're evicting them. And I'm perfectly okay with that." —M. C. Payette Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available with extra attachments). 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 review: "I have three blinds in my kitchen and it usually is a half-day event for me to clean them, hence, I don't do it as often as I should. This blind cleaner is magic. It's so easy to use and it cleans so well...and so fast. I was able to clean all three blinds today in 30 minutes! Thank goodness it came with several microfiber sleeves because I ended up using all of them. You have to use a bit of muscle to apply pressure so the brush sleeves are flush against the blinds, but it's very easy to do. After you're done, pop the sleeves in the washer and you're good to go. I can't stop looking at my blinds now. They look brand new! Amazon product. I highly recommend!!!" —Lynn Get a pack of one wand and five sleeves from Amazon for $6.99. 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 $13.75 (also available in packs of two, four, six, and 12). Promising review: "This product is IMMACULATE. 100/10 recommend. I only got a picture of my toilet tank about four hours into putting a third of the bottle in, and then after eight hours, but prior to using it, our toilet tank was like blood red with iron (well water) and other minerals. It’d gotten so bad that our toilet was having a hard time flushing, but not even half of the bottle and it’s pretty much ALL gone. It completely got rid of the staining, our toilet is flushing 100% easier, and I haven’t noticed as much staining. I saw some complaints about smell but honestly I had no smell complaints. I did get a long thin scrub brush just to pick up some of the stuff that settled at the bottom of the tank, but this instant power powder stuff did like 99% of the work on its own." —Soraya 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 reviews: "This plus a Scrub Daddy is a cleaner's heaven. This stuff is amazing. I like this way more than the spray version of it, I think the clay deep cleans way better and I don't have to use as much. It smells kind of like clay, too, but it's not a bad smell. I've always hated cleaning the oven but this makes it an ease." —Jaiden "Had stains in the bathtub I could not remove for years. First time using this, the stains are gone. Pretty easy to use with Scrubb Daddy. I hate cleaning. This is a miracle product for me. And no I did not get paid to write this review. If you want stains gone from your bathtub use this. Your life will be made so much easier. Don't believe me. I don't care. Your loss, not mine." —Patricia C Tinney Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in packs of two and three and as a kit with a cleaning sponge). Promising review: "This was my first time ever ordering or using one of these Scrub Daddy sponges and I thought I would see what the fuss was all about! OMG! I love it! You can use these suckers on everything...from outdoor patio doors (which is what I originally got these for) to stovetops, to bathtubs, to literally any surface in your home. I love these things! I'll for sure be buying these sponges from now on. They're quite big which I loved and you can really scrub hard which I needed to do as I was trying to get years worth of dirt off my patio balcony windows. In the long run these things were perfect for what I used them for!" —CityGal432 Get a pack of three from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in larger packs). Just be sure to store it in a standing position, or all the soap will drain out. Check out a TikTok of the Scotch-Brite Dishwand to see it in action. Promising review: "Found this 'must-do' hack. I fill the handle of this little gadget with Dawn and a little vinegar, keep it in the shower — then a couple of times a week, just scrub the shower walls while I'm in there waiting on the dang hair conditioner to do its work — killin' two birds, I'm tellin' ya!" —my4sons Get a wand and seven refills from Amazon for $11.94 (also sold without refills). 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 Get a set of two from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three styles and as a three-pack). Promising review: "This stuff works fast! Used this two days before family came to visit on a couple of dog pee spots on carpet that I had tried to clean previously with different products. It took two applications but I was finally able to get the smell out of the room and it left no chemical smell either! I also used it on a recent pee spot where he had just peed on my rug, and when I sprayed it on the rug, you could literally see the color of the pee stain being lifted out of the fabric. I let it sit for a while and blotted with a cotton cleaning towel and then scrubbed it out and let it air dry. I never wanted a dog in my house for this reason but now that I’ve found this, I guess he can stay around awhile longer! lol" —King It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and more. Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try them out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let them sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow, the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than 5 stars." —Matt Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48 (also available in a pack of 40). This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express cleaners. Sunny & Honey is a family-run small biz that specializes in biodegradable cleaning products. Promising review: "This stuff is the real deal. Our puppy designated one of our bedrooms as his 'accident' area. We would clean up the pee, but the smell lingered. I tried two different carpet cleaning units and multiple cleaning solutions. None of them could remove the lingering smell. We even had a high-powered air cleaner running in the room for over a week, and nothing. I read the reviews on this and gave it a try. THIS WORKED on the first try. The smell is gone and replaced with a faint clean scent." —Lisa Luke Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (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). 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 Get it from Amazon for $15.98 (also available as a two-pack). This is safe for all pipes, but shouldn't be used on toilets or garbage disposals. Promising review: "My shower drain is the absolute worst! I live in a really old house, and the twisting and turning of the pipes makes it ridiculously difficult to snake or anything like that, so I have to resort to using Drano-like products. Speaking of Drano, I have used every single one of their products out there, and nothing works! I’ve tried really expensive hair de-clogger products. NOTHING has worked until this!! Seriously, I can’t believe I’m writing this detailed a review on a liquid/gel hair clog eliminator, but I’m so amazed at how quickly this product works at unclogging my drain. Fifteen minutes later, and no more water above my ankles! "Yes, I do have to redo it every month or two, because of course it gets clogged again with new hair and gunk. For the price, I’m willing to pay for it monthly forever to keep the problem abated." —Weston16 Get it from Amazon for $5.18+ (also available as a two-pack). It also runs for 20–45 minutes (depending on the mode) before needing to be recharged! Promising review: "YES, THIS, THANK YOU, HOLY CRAP. I've been using corded vacuums my whole life. I'M NEVER GOING BACK. I have all hardwood and area carpet so this works amazingly well. Vacuumed my whole place in like 5 minutes. Why? Because I just picked it up and started, I didn't have to worry about where the stupid plug was. I really like the swivel head as well. AND I CAN USE IT FOR MY CAR AND I DON'T NEED A SHOP VAC?! SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY." —HiveTyrant36 Get it from Amazon for $74.98+ (available in navy and gold). 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 Promising review: "Does it work too good??? Lol. No, it works great! But, it does make the rest of the concrete look sad. I park in my neighbor's driveway (not important why) and obviously never want to be rude and stain it. But, the other day I look and there is an oil spill. A big one. (I had recently gotten an oil change and they didn't secure the plugs correctly!) So, I put down baking soda, let it absorb. Next step, Dawn and scrubbing. Nope. Didn't work. So, I researched and got this product. Test spot was perfect! So, I did the other two spots and the rest of the big spill. Small ones came out easy next day. I didn't think the big spot worked because it was still a bit moist when I started brushing. So, I just planned to do it another day. But, when I looked the next day, rinsed everything off, used the brush to get rid of the last bit — gone. Truly an excellent product and I'm very grateful it worked because I would hate to stain my neighbor's driveway." —Me 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 Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and as a two-pack). 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: "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair." —Morgan Willis Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three styles). Promising review: "It works wonders on all my clothes, removing pilling and fuzz in seconds. I've used it on sweaters, old shirts, blankets, and even my couch! Everything looks brand new again. The design is sleek and easy to hold, and the adjustable settings make it perfect for different fabric types. The shaver is powerful yet gentle enough not to damage delicate fabrics. Also very easy to clean after use. The large shaving head covers enough surface area, saving time, and the battery life is impressive. I was initially skeptical about how effective it would be, but after using it, I'm glad I bought it. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants to extend the life of their clothes to make them look brand new!" —Alex Park Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors). 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 $3.40 (also available as a two-pack). 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 $20.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack). These pads are compatible with the original Swiffer. The company also sells a version of these mop pads that work with the Swiffer Wet Jet! Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably. Promising review: "This is a MUST-HAVE. I stopped cleaning to come write this review! These pads are amazing!!! We have a lot of fur baby hair in our apartment and I honestly feel like these pads trap the hair better than the throw-away ones!! I am always on the lookout for more sustainable cleaning options and I absolutely love love love these!! Thank you!!" —Isabella M. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99. 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 Get it from Amazon for $34.96 (also available with a refill and cleaning pods). 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 $7.49 (also available as a pack of 12 and 36; each tablet lasts a month). 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 Get six tablets from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in a pack of five and 12). 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 four sizes and as a two-pack). The leaf blower has two speed options and comes with two batteries, which each last about 30 minutes on a single charge. Promising review: "It is lightweight, easy to handle, and very practical for clearing leaves and dust from the patio without much effort. I love that it comes with two batteries and a charger, so I can use one while the other charges, allowing me to work longer without interruptions. Ideal for cleaning the lawn, patio, and even the garage, without the excessive noise of other blowers. Very satisfied with this purchase, highly recommended for keeping your home neat and tidy, great quality!" —Shanda Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "All purpose really means all purpose!! I was searching for an all-purpose natural cleaner and came across this. I’ve been cleaning with it for well over six months, and it’s been great, cleans surfaces with no streaks on mirrors. The bonus that I just found out the other day is that it removes carpet stains! I noticed an old stain in the basement carpet, and I knew I was out of luck. But since I already had the spray bottle in my hand, something said Spray it. I sprayed and rubbed a paper towel into the stain, and Lordy, the stain vanished. I was so impressed because that stain had hardened, and I had no faith. I used it again on another stain on my white chair in my office. I’m convinced this is some good stuff!" —Melodies Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two scents and unscented, in two sizes, and as a pack of two). Promising review: "This worked so well!! After a few weeks of unplanned neglect, our pool was starting to grow algae and turn green and murky. We don't have a Leslie's or any other type of pool supply store close to us, and delivery for some reason wasn't an option for what I usually buy in-store. I ended up buying three of these and pouring them straight into the pool. After some daily brushing, running the filter for 4 hours a day for a few days, and cleaning the filters (which I would highly recommend for those trying to bounce back from algae growth), our pool is back to crystal clear and algae-free! Needless to say, this will now be part of the weekly maintenance!" —Amazon Customer The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

Promising review: "I'm upset with myself that I did not find this product sooner. I run a professional cleaning business, and have been using the name brand for some time. With the name brand, I had to pick and choose where I used it because they do not last for more than one super dirty bathtub, or one part of a wall, or one part of the fridge. With this product, I was able to clean AN ENTIRE HOUSE WITH ONE SPONGE. And this house was DIRTY. This has seriously saved me so much money, time, and headache." —Fifi Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95 (also available in a pack of 100). * Low-Effort Ways To Keep Your Home Like, 90% Clean All Through Spring * I’ve Got You Covered With These Elite Cleaning Products * Products Parents Swear By For Keeping Their Homes (Mostly) Clean And Organized * Stop Procrastinating On Cleaning Your Bathroom, And Use These Products * If A Stain Has Been Bothering You *Forever*, Check Out These Tried-And-True Stain Removers * Places You Should Probably Clean And Definitely Haven't * People Who “Hate” Cleaning Swear By These Products, And You Will Too Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.
