We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A bottle of powdered Bar Keepers Friend that'll cut through years of dirt, hard water stains, and rust with such ease, reviewers say the only explanation is witchcraft.
2. A tub of The Pink Stuff which can clean anything you throw at it — tires, pots and pans, stove tops, showers, your five year old's crayon wall mural — you name it! They might not have North West's skills quite yet, but they've got time.
3. A bottle of versatile organic Castile soap that puts two-in-one products to shame. The simple, plant-derived formula can be used to wash your car, floors, counters, and laundry and if you happen to run out of toiletries, it also works as a body wash and shampoo for you or your pet.
4. A drill brush attachment kit so you can blast away dirt and grime with little elbow grease but lots of power-tool-enabled muscle. I'm sweating just imagining how long that before and after would take without power tools.
5. Or, if you don't already own a drill and, tbh, don't really care to, an electric spinning scrubber with a series of snap-on heads suitable for counters, car wheels, sinks, windows, you name it. Just throw on some rubber cleaning gloves a la the mom from Dexter's Laboratory and your house won't even see what's coming.
6. A magnetic spot cleaner so you can properly clean things no sponge or squeegee can. Drop the magnet into your vase, decanter, or whatever you're looking to clean, and then use the other piece to guide it over stains.
7. A Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner capable of sucking up messes of any caliber. Be warned, though: Reviewers say once you start, you won't stop.
8. A bottle of Goo Gone gel spray because nobody — and I mean nobody — wants to deal with the residue left behind by stickers and other lousy adhesives. Plus, it comes with a little scraping tool so you won't chip a nail or snap a debit card in half while trying to finish the job.
9. A jetted tub cleaner so you're not bathing in the remnants of whatever products the previous homeowner used. (The absolute horror.)
10. A toxin-free all-purpose cleaner fit for any non-porous surface in your home — aka countertops, porcelain sinks, fixtures, glass, etc. Sign up for Fillaree's subscription service and you can send your bottle in for a refill whenever necessary (PS: shipping is free 😌) or drop by one of their 35 refill stations throughout the U.S. to do it yourself.
11. A pack of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers that somehow, someway remove whatever mess you put them up against. Good news for those with kiddos who've ever had unsupervised time with a (stolen) Sharpie!
12. A pack of cleaning tablets you can use on water bottles, carafes, coffee pots, and anything else that could use more than a quick rinse with water.
13. A pet-specific stain remover that'll hide the fact that Sparky isn't the perfect angel you make him out to be on Instagram. But that's okay buddy, we all make mistakes.
14. An eco-friendly pill remover constructed from upcycled car windshield glass. Using gentle strokes, run the stone across your sweaters, towels, throw blankets, and even upholstered furniture to remove stubborn pills and fuzzies.
15. A carpet spot remover that requires no rinsing or vacuuming to see results. In fact, it works on a whole lot more than carpet, too, give it a go on stained clothing, upholstery, and other colorfast fabrics.
16. An oil stain remover capable of pulling out deep, set-in spots from your natural stone countertop be it granite, limestone, marble, slate, or sandstone. Just slap paste onto any spots, let it sit for 48 to 72 hours (that's how long it takes to turn to powder), and then wipe it away to find your counter good as new.
17. A powerful rust remover that can remove stains from just about any surface — think showers, sinks, tubs, toilets, concrete floors, and even colorfast carpets — with zero scrubbing involved.
18. A nonabrasive cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad and scraper that can get rid of burnt-on food, water stains, and persistent grease splatters.
19. Or, if you're looking for something even more convenient, a Scotch-Brite glass cooktop pad you can use daily with just the addition of water. There are no chemicals involved, but somehow this lil' sponge eliminates burnt-on food and hard water stains without the risk of any scratches.
20. A fruity, cotton-candy–esque concentrate you can dilute and use on cabinets, countertops, walls, windows, cars, and more. Dump some on your floor when you mop or make it into a paste to put on set-in stains. Heck, you can even add it to your laundry detergent for an extra cleaning boost.
21. A big ol' pumice stone on a stick poised to obliterate stubborn stains left by limescale, hard water, calcium, iron, and rust — things your automatic toilet bowl cleaner is unforch no match for.
22. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner that utilizes beeswax to restore tired antiques, furniture, doors, and trim. Don't even *think* about painting your dresser teal before giving it a good wipe-down with this.
23. An electric power washer with an 1800-watt motor you can use to blast crud off of your car, garage door, fence, patio, or outdoor furniture. Plus, it's a perfect excuse to throw on the wellies you've been wanting to wear.
24. A pair of microfiber cleaning slippers that make cleaning a second thought. Wear them while talking on the phone, feeding the cat, making your bed... you'll be amazed (and a little repulsed) at how much they pick up!
25. A mildew remover made specially with outdoor fabrics in mind. Spray it on your patio chairs, porch swing, or awnings and watch it wash away ground-in dirt. Then, after that, liberally spray it on your siding, tiles, gutters, and roof, too.
26. A professional-strength grout cleaner that can remove years — yes, years — of grime from your home's floors. Turns out, you had white grout all along. Who knew? 🤷♀️
27. An eco-friendly all-purpose polish that's incredibly powerful given its clean ingredient list. Clay, vegetable oil, and lemon fragrance combine to clean surfaces all around your home be they stainless steel, glass, ceramic, marble, or wood.
28. An ooey gooey dust remover you can use on keyboards, air conditioners, car vents and anywhere else crumbs accumulate.
29. A Dawn Powerwash starter kit that will help cut through grease and caked on messes. If your partner/roommate/dishwashing pal has a tendency to let things "soak" overnight, gift them a bottle of the good stuff.
30. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because despite the fact that you have 17 different cleaners under your kitchen sink, it is SO much easier to reach for a one-and-done wipe.
31. A Chom Chom roller to put your regular ol' lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out.
32. And a pack of reusable cloth towels so instead of unspooling an entire roll of paper towels next time you spill something, you can just reach for *one* of these guys and call it a day.
You once you realize how much easier cleaning could have been this whole time:
