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 a device and two refills from Amazon for $9.09. Check out a TikTok of the foaming pink drain cleaner in action. Promising review: "I’ll admit, I was pretty skeptical when I first bought this product. After months of battling with a stubborn sink that just wouldn’t drain, I had tried everything — and I mean everything — short of calling a plumber. I decided to give Yugou a shot as my last-ditch 'Hail Mary,' and I’m so glad I did! Not only was it incredibly easy to use, but it also worked effectively. I couldn’t believe it. The sink is now flowing and draining better than it ever has before, and dare I say... it was even kind of fun to use! Bonus: It has a lovely, fresh scent that leaves the bathroom smelling great. I’ll definitely be buying more of this magic in a bottle once I’ve finished this review, as it’s also perfect for preventative maintenance. Highly recommend!" —Janet Anders Promising review: "Amazed! In the middle of the night, my child threw up spaghetti — noodles, sauce, the whole deal — right on the carpet. I picked up what I could, but didn’t want to wake the entire house by running the cleaner. SEVEN HOURS later, I finally pulled out the Bissell, not expecting miracles… but WOW. It cleaned the carpet as if the mess had never happened. I’m still in shock. Oh, and she also threw up on a giant Squishhmallow (yes, that massive plush toy), and the Bissell cleaned that too — like magic. This is hands down the best cleaning tool I’ve ever used. Total game changer!" —Stephanie Get it from Amazon for $88.99+ (available in three colors and mini or regular size). The heavy-duty formula — from small biz Cerama Bryte — works on glass, ceramic, induction, radiant, and halogen stovetops. Promising review: "The only way to properly clean a glass cooktop stove and not leave streaks or marks behind. When I first got my new stove, my hard water left marks all over. I tried everything I could think of and even searched the Internet. I was terrified my brand-new stove was ruined. Nothing worked, and then I found this product, and it works like magic. Easy to use. Doesn't take up a lot of storage space. And leaves your stove top looking like it's brand new again. So glad I found this product. Highly recommend." —Lisa The gel formula is safe to use on/around windows, sinks and baths, shower-heads, pools, tiles, silicone sealant, and more. Leave it on the area you're looking to clean for six to eight hours (no scrubbing required). Some reviewers with really bad mold/mildew note that leaving it on for longer and/or doing a second round of cleaning made a huge difference! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. Since we bought this place, we figured we had to fix the caulking because we tried every cleaner we knew to get rid of this gross shower mold. Before we decided to fix...we gave this a shot. Now the shower is like new; probably didn't even need to wait the 5 hours, but glad we did. Saved so much time, labor, and money. 🙌" —Nacho Average Review Promising review: "I used this in a rental I was in for three months. The iron stains were terrible by the end of my stay. I ordered this product and figured I would have to scrub until my arms were ready to fall off before I could make a dent in this staining...but no! Absolutely no scrubbing necessary!!!! I will definitely hit the tub with Iron Out one more time before I leave in a week, but the results are amazing. I highly recommend this product if you have rust stains around the house. I only wish I had thought to take pics of everything I cleaned in the house with this product... all tubs, showers, toilets, and sinks look brand new!" —Stacey Stein Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in different sizes). And here's what BuzzFeeder/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say: "After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning." Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely wild. I had been trying to clean my shower/tub forever, because it had a thick layer of caked-on calcium deposits from years of hard water buildup. Last year, I manually scraped every inch of my shower with a razor blade and removed 90% of the film, but there were spots I couldn't reach with the blade and some residual discoloration on the plastic from the previous buildup. I tried my best to remove the rest, but NOTHING worked to polish the shower up, so I just gave up and figured I'd have to live with the permanent staining. Then I found this little bucket of magic. It literally cleaned and polished the shower so well that, if I didn't know any better, I'd assume I had just had a brand-new shower installed. Absolutely bonkers. Honestly, just buy it." —Mike Harrington Promising review: "This floor cleaner is magic. No streaks, and my floors look so good and shiny and clean! I detest mopping, but the end result is worth it!! Don’t hesitate." —Dean Promising review: "I cannot say enough about this pumice toilet bowl cleaner! I’ve battled stubborn hard water stains in my toilet bowl for years, scrubbing with brushes, using every cleaner on the shelf, and even trying vinegar and baking soda tricks. Nothing worked. This pumice cleaner was a total game-changer. It removed years of built-up stains in just a few minutes with very little effort. The pumice didn’t scratch the porcelain at all, but it cut through the mineral deposits like magic. My toilet bowl looks brand new again, something I honestly thought was impossible." —peggy mosley Get it on Amazon for $13.99+ (available in packs of one, two, and four). Promising review: "I love how easy these are to use! Once a month, drop this tablet in and let it work its magic. No more stinky water or clothes. Makes everything smell clean!" —ShoeLover Get it from Amazon for $11.24+ (available in packs of five, six, or 12). Promising review: "I have a golden retriever, and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair, and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before-and-after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly, and everything he says is true; you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout, and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). Promising review: "AMAZING! Seriously, amazing. I live in southern NM, and we've had massive dust storms for several weeks now. This cleans like magic. Wet it, squeeze it out, sweep it across the baseboards and other places where a lot of dust has accumulated. Like magic! This tool can make your job very quick." —Cherie M. Mcginn Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in packs of two, four, and eight and in five colors). Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long. Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first, but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice, too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT Get a pack of two (eight uses) from Amazon for $11.95. Promising review: "I honestly can’t believe I waited so long to get the O-Cedar Mop and Bucket System! This system is not only efficient but also makes mopping bearable. The built-in wringer pedal is, hands down, one of my favorite features. It allows you to control exactly how much moisture is left on the mop without ever having to touch the yucky, dirty water with your hands. The splash guard also keeps everything neat, with no mess flying out as it spins. The mop head is made from super-absorbent microfiber that picks up dust, dirt, and grime like magic. Whether I’m tackling kitchen spills or just doing a regular deep clean, it leaves my floors sparkling. I also love that the mop head is machine washable, making it reusable and easy to maintain. It’s also lightweight, easy to maneuver, and fits into corners and under furniture effortlessly. The triangular mop head design is genius for getting into tight spaces. And for anyone wondering, yes, the handle is adjustable, so it’s comfortable for people of all heights." —Nathali They can be used wet or dry and on virtually every type of flooring and drywall if desired. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. Promising review: "These clean like magic! So much better than the wasteful disposable wipes. Another plus: they clean with just water, so no unpleasant artificial 'cleaning' smell." —Sarah D. Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99. Promising review: "I never leave reviews on Amazon, but this grout cleaner definitely deserved a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-eez and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and had no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." —Tyler Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in two sizes). What's included: Three Scrub Mommy sponges, PowerPaste, Tangerine Clean, and PowErase Gel. Promising review: "It’s really a magic paste, works on many surfaces, especially if you have light-colored surfaces, it will be your ideal everyday product! Took away all stain rings on my quartz countertop !" —Merry Promising review: "According to the instructions, I was supposed to use the whole bottle, but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s, and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo (above), you can see that there is still some rust left over, but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." —Nicole Promising review: "No longer using chemicals for cleaning showers, baths, tile, toilets, etc. High-powered steam totally sanitizes everything! Highly recommend!" —Kathleen Promising review: "I bought a sorta white leather sectional for $150, stained and dirty, but no major wear or tears. Well, the pictures tell it all! It took at least three cycles of gentle scrubbing and wiping off raised dirt, and a little extra for bad stains! A lot of elbow grease, but holy crap! Super nice couch now!" —iPoutside365 Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in three sizes). Here's what BuzzFeeder Jenae Sitzes has to say: "When it comes to my own experience with Rocco & Roxie, well...let's just say we're no stranger to cat accidents 'round these parts, and I keep this stuff stocked at all times. Between my younger one's hairballs and my older one's vomiting, I've accidentally stepped in piles of yuck more times than I care to count, and this bottle is what I reach for, whether the mess is on my hardwood floor or carpet. It always lifts the stain, without any detectable odor left behind." Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this, by far, is the absolute best. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. It’s taken out every stain, and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley Get it on Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two sizes and scents). It even has a minty scent, so you don't have to worry about that harsh chemical smell most cleaning products usually emit. Promising review: "I have tried every single thing, including a professional window cleaner, to get my shower door clean. Nothing worked; I tried it all. This worked like there was magic fairy dust in it or something! I used a small, round scrub brush and used circular motions. Let it sit for five minutes and rinse it off. I wish I had taken pictures before! Trust me, it was awful!!! 20 years of water stains, etc., are completely gone. My shower looks brand new! Buy this stuff, you will not be disappointed!!!" —Tracy F. Get it from Amazon for $15.77+ (available in three sizes). Promising review: "This stuff is magic! We've lived in our home for four years now and have never used our jetted tub. One day last week, I decided I needed a nice long soak, and I filled up the tub only to discover the water was rusty and yellow (SICK). I looked up the best way to clean a jetted bathtub, and Oh Yuk came up over and over. Now I know why — this stuff is a miracle worker! We ran it through our tub several times until it was clear. You will not be disappointed, and I'd be shocked if the first words out of your mouth when using this stuff weren't 'OH YUK!'" —Kimmy D Sprinkle & Sweep is a small biz specializing in products for cleaning up after pets. Promising review: "Smells amazing! My blind dog makes a big mess. Thank you for making clean up a breeze." —Amazon Customer "This is a great product for any kind of pet mess. Just sprinkle on the mess, wait a few minutes, and sweep. Works on hard floors or carpet. It is gritty, though, and will track on hard floors. This bag has lasted six months with a senior cat who tries to get to the box." —Cristina Moon Get it from Amazon for $16.12+ (available in several sizes). You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle. My former colleague, Brittany Ross, says, "I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too." Promising review: "This is a miracle worker on stainless. I have tried everything to get my stainless to shine like it should, even the home remedies, which do NOT work — sorry, but they don't. This stuff is the best I have tried. I follow a girl on TikTok that recommended it and she has been right 100% on her Amazon recommendations. She nailed it again. You will love this stuff." —Amazonwoman Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in packs). Promising review: "This is perfect for getting YEARS of soap scum off of your tub! The tool that gets in the corner is a lifesaver. I used Dawn Powerwash and let it soak for a few minutes, and it came off like magic! It took some extra spins because it’s been about two years since it started collecting the scum. Tried scrubbing with various brushes, and if I had known about this tool earlier, I could have saved some arm pain for sure!" —Amazon Customer Promising review: "Where has THIS been all my life? I have tried for years... literally years... To clean the grout of my bathroom floors, to no avail. Finally, I booked a tile specialist to come in and replace all the grout, which was going to be a messy and expensive job. And then I read a blog post about this product in combination with a product called Grout-Eez, and I tell you it’s simple and works like magic, and the grout in my 10-year-old bathroom tile floors has been restored to as-new condition. I could not possibly recommend this thing more highly." —Mr. helper This set includes five microfiber duster sleeves that can be washed and reused, along with a tiered plastic base. Promising review: "OK, I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured, why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option, but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $6.99. Promising review: "This is wonderful! It was easy to assemble, easy to use, and cleaned my ceiling fans like a charm. I’m 5’ with ten-foot ceilings, and this is sturdy and efficient for cleaning my fans. I recommend this product." —Susanne M Schomer Promising review: "I love this product! No more scrubbing the microwave! Just place this Mama in the microwave with vinegar and water and set for 7 minutes! MAGIC!" —Dezzy Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in different styles and packs of one or two). Promising review: "Wow! A degreaser that actually works! I love the foam, which starts to work immediately on my stove top as well as cookware and other kitchen surfaces." —P. Webb Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I hate cleaning my shower/tub. I want a product that I can spray on about 10 minutes before showering, without needing to scrub or wipe it down, something that will rinse off while I'm in the shower. So it needs to be kind of safe, and I don't want to be scrubbing anything. I don't know what sort of woodland magic is in this stuff, but it is amazing. The tub and glass shower doors are gleaming! It doesn't really remove mold from grout, but that's okay — I have mold/mildew spray for that." —Sueg22 Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and also in a pack of two). Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to do! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch)! Promising review: "I had some nasty shower stains that wouldn't come out. The drill brush worked its magic and got them out in a few minutes!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors). PS: This also works great on *human* hair. Check out BuzzFeeder Emma Lord's full review! Promising review: "Do not hesitate if you have a pet that sheds! My border collie/kelpie mix deposits hair liberally and everywhere. This magic device worked effortlessly and quickly on my hard floors. Rugs? I'm proud yet embarrassed to say they changed to their original color after using this baby. But the showstopper is the way this made cleaning my carpeted stairs satisfying and, dare I say it, kinda fun. Win/win all around! The adjustable length of the pole made for a non-back-straining stair-cleaning experience. And, yes, the stair carpet is also now back to its boring contractor-grade beige, but at least I can look at it without cringing over pet hair. On the fence? Just try it! I think you'll be quite pleased and wish you'd invented this contraption because you'd be rolling in the moolah by now with your patent approval!" —Valerie Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in eight configurations). See it in action on TikTok, where the reviewer uses it to clean dog fur off their car's upholstery. Promising review: "This little triangle tool is powerful! It pulls embedded hair out of car carpets and upholstery that vacuums can’t touch. The grip feels comfortable, and it’s easy to maneuver into corners and seams. Perfect for anyone who drives with their dog — highly recommended." —Lito Get it from Amazon for $12.81+ (available in seven colors). Promising review: "I've been a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser fan for a long time. My husband works with metal and works on cars, so there is oil, grease, etc., everywhere in our house... and the bathtub is awful. They were the only thing to get rid of it. UNTIL I FOUND THESE! 1 MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THE MAGIC ERASERS. Hardly have to scrub to get the tub clean now. I've used one for three bathtub cleanings and I'm sure I will get at least five more uses out of it. I'd get maybe 1.5 cleanings from the other brand. I'll never buy another brand again other than these. They will last forever — the package was much bigger than expected for the price. Just buy them... worth it!" —Briana M. Promising review: “Love love love Folex!! Super easy to use. The bottle does exactly what it says. My chairs were SUPER DIRTY from my 2-1/2-year-old grandson eating and feeding the dogs. I couldn’t believe how easy it was and how clean they got after just one use. Mind blown!!” —Carobnty Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in multiple sizes and packs up to 12). Promising review: "We received our delivery this morning at 10, and I have already used it to clean the post-smoothie blender, wash the porch floor, and pretreat grease stains on a load of spotted T-shirts. This stuff is wonderful!" —desert dweller And BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly says: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food from sitting overnight. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well." Get it from Amazon for $4.94 (also available in multipacks and an apple scent!). The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. Promising review: "This fulfills my cleanliness obsession! It’s a great tool that actually works! No more cleaning baseboards on your hands and knees. My best advice is to spray the pad with wood cleaner, and it works like magic. Also, the pad holds up well after washing." —Aubrey Promising review: "I'll let my pictures (above) speak to how amazing this works. I had a stained mattress that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give OxiClean a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even know what caused the stains, but OxiClean removed them. I took before, during, and after pictures (after pictures show the outline of water because I took them immediately after rinsing. I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" —Little Greek Get it from Amazon for $11.78+ (available in two sizes). Promising review: "I love this product! It's a game-changer. I have an older dog that is now starting to have accidents. I rent my place, and I have carpet cleaning every other week. Now with this, I don’t have to do as much. She went on my new rug, which is white, and I was convinced it was gonna be ruined, but it’s not! The Stomp and Go did its job! My rug is perfect, and no urine stains or odor. If you have a puppy or older dog, I highly suggest this product." —Sandra E. Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.49. Check out a TikTok of the "Emergency Stain Rescue" in action. The Hate Stains Co. is a small business that specializes in fast, powerful, and nontoxic stain-removing products. Promising review: "This stain remover gets out most stains and is absolutely amazing! Moms of toddlers should buy several bottles of this stuff! I have found that the sooner I spray the clothes to treat the stain with this, the better the outcome!" —kendall Get it from Amazon for $7.49 (also available in packs of two or three, and with on-the-go wipes). Promising reviews: "I was considering replacing my expensive mattress with a quoted cost of $2,800 for one of similar quality to my existing one. Instead, I decided to try the BX7 Pro Max mattress vacuum cleaner, and it worked exactly as promised. The proof was in the substantial amount of dust removed and the renewed freshness of the entire bed ensemble. We’re now planning to use it on all our beds seasonally. The BX7 Pro Max is a no-brainer compared to a $2,800 replacement — an investment in both cleanliness and savings!" —M & M "I love this little vacuum. It makes such a difference for our bedding. We have a big shaggy dog and live in the country on a gravel road. Between everything being tracked in and on it, I was surprised by what a difference this made." —Theresa Z. * 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 BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
