1. A pack of duster sponges perfect for picking up the dust bunnies that that coat the top of your dining table seconds before those guests are due to walk in. Just wet it, use it to trap all the dust (so that none goes flying), and wash it down the drain. Now you can pick up all the dust much quicker than the old wet-a-napkin and try-to-scoop-it-up method you've been using for yearssss.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer has this 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 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 it from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color packs).
2. A tub of the bestselling Pink Stuff you'll want to keep on hand when those kiddos start scribbling all over your walls right before guests are due to arrive for a dinner party. Don't put your all into scrubbing those doors — all you need to do is coat this stuff on any stains and simply wipe it away. This works on just about everything — bathtubs, faucets, stovetops, tennis shoes, walls covered in crayon. Everything.
How effective? Well, it's commonly compared to the Magic Eraser in paste form!
Promising review: "This stuff is some magic sorcery. I’m not usually a fan of traditional cleaning products and tend to opt for natural-based cleaners. However, I had some soot over the fireplace nothing would take off. Not only did it do a pretty dang good job on that…but everything I’ve tried it on has gotten that item super clean with minimal scrubbing effort. Will always have on hand now. Got hard water stains off when CRL wouldn’t even get it clean and made the faucet look brand-new." —Kim Montero
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
3. The Baseboard Buddy — a pain-saving gadget with 360-degree swivel so you're not getting down on your hands and knees or stretching as high as you can to reach those hard-to-clean surfaces and corners. Don't let those dust bunnies accumulate on your baseboard to the point that your home resembles that of a haunted house — this adjustable handle will make the chore so easy and quick to do before your aunt arrives for evening tea.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. And when the microfiber pad is dirty, just rinse and reuse!
Promising review: "Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together, and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable, and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" —artgirl
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
4. And for the surfaces you can't reach on your tippy toes, an extendable duster that can reach up to five feet to get rid of the little flecks of dust that litter your ceiling fan. It can rotate and bend at different angles — plus you can simply toss the removable head into the wash and reuse it!
Promising review: "Works very well. The telescoping handle has a super long reach when extended all of the way. There is nowhere in my home I can't reach with this. The duster really grabs and holds onto cobwebs and dust. I cleaned my ceiling fans without dust falling onto me and the floor below. There is also a rubber tip at the end of the duster that keeps it from scratching or marring surfaces, which I thought was very nice. My only complaint is that I wish the rubber handle at the end was attached a bit better. It pulls totally off every time I extend the arm, but that's a very simple fix and doesn't really affect its performance." —Julia Shafer
Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in six colors).
5. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover for those droplets of water that do. not. budge. If you're tired of googling homemade cleaning recipes and scrubbing the putrid vinegar and baking soda concoction all over your shower door — this stain remover is for you. Your overnight guests will be practically hounding you for the secret to your sparkling shower.
Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap / vinegar / baking soda, the expensive store bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

6. A Chomp! stain remover you can pour over any stain in your concrete or brick driveway to restore your outdoor space after accidentally spilling some oil during your family BBQ. All you need to do is pour this solution over the stain, let it dry for a few minutes, and then simply brush it away — voila!
Promising review: "I went in skeptical, I'm not going to lie. We had grease spilled on our brand-new paver patio, and I tried Dawn and the Dawn Powerwash. Neither touched it. The grease had been sitting for a few weeks, and I saw an ad for this stuff. I ordered it to try because why not? Well, I'll be damned because this took the spots right up! No evidence we ever spilled anything! I'd buy it again." —Susan
Get it from Amazon for $17.97.
7. Dawn Powerwash, a magical spray-on dish soap so that your friends don't see the pile-up of grime and grease you left behind in your sink. It even works on backsplashes, greasy range hoods, or that backyard grill you haven't cleaned since Labor Day!
Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe.
Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M.
Promising review: "The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazing in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF

8. A storage lid organizer because you're tired of having to dig through every cupboard and pantry shelf when you're just trying to find the correct lid for your container. Your family will be impressed by just how quickly you're able to pack up some leftovers for them after you've already wowed them during your little dinner party.
The dividers are adjustable so you can customize your set depending on what size containers you have!
Promising review: "I love, love, love this storage container. Sounds silly, but it changed my life. No longer do I have storage container Jenga! No more stuff falling out of the cabinet every time I open the cupboard. Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." —Laura H.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and sets).
9. A wall-mounted rack so that your mop, broom, and Swiffer stay out of the way instead of cluttering your very limited pantry space. Now, you don't have to fear getting whacked in the head by a wayward handle whenever you open your cabinet — now all your cleaning supplies are on hand for whenever your friends come to visit, and you need to quickly sweep up those crumbs in your kitchen.
Promising review: "I have a small apartment, and the broom closet was always a mess, with the brooms hitting me in the face whenever I took the trash out. This saved me so much stress! The slots have little rollers, and they move to fit just about any size mop or broom. There are also little hooks that can drop down if you want to hold towels or the dustpan, which is what I use it for. This is a must-have organizational tool!" —Jacqui Nibbelin
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
10. A Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop because you deserve to do both (yes, BOTH) at the exact same time! This genius appliance always uses clean water for mopping and is safe to use on sealed hard floors. This will clean and dry your floors in mere minutes, which is perfect when your siblings randomly decide to drop by with very little notice.
It also self-propels so you just need to steer, no hard pushing!
Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use. Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self-cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen, entryway, and hall before self-cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self-cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self-cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time), I would buy another." —Tsippi
Get it from Amazon for $279.99.
11. The Chom Chom to save your furniture from the unspeakable amount of shedding your furry bestie leaves behind in their wake. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's good to go — no wasteful sticky sheets required! Because seriously, which one of your friends wants to sit on fur-infested seats?
Promising review: "The best day of my life was the day I adopted my cat. The second best day of my life was when I discovered this product. I never write reviews, but for the first time in my life, I felt compelled to write one to share how fantastic this product is. It’s the age-old story: girl adopts cat, cat sheds like a maniac, everything girl owns is now covered cat hair, girl tries everything but is unsuccessful, blah blah blah. But this pet hair remover/lint roller contains some type of wizardry that has seriously changed the game. *Chefs kiss* to the creators of this product. Y’all are doing G-d’s work." —SB
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
12. And Rocco & Roxie's odor- and stain-eliminating spray so that none of your invited (or uninvited) guests know that your adorable pet has taken certain... shall we say liberties (?) with your carpet, flooring, or furniture. This potion in a bottle can work on any surface so that your furry BFF's stinky stains can be quickly taken care of.
Promising review: "Very hard to find ANY fault in this amazing product. It's easy to use and smells very fresh! I have a rug under our dining table where our Chow likes to tinkle pretty regularly. I was cleaning with a steam carpet cleaner at least once a week — and avoiding the rug altogether most of the time — but the smell never went away, and neither did our Chow, even after using Arm & Hammer carpet deodorizer! But a few sprays of Rocco & Roxie Stain & Odor Eliminator and POOF! The smell is ALL GONE, and Chow has lost interest. I give this product 5 STARS, but it honestly deserves more than that! Will buy again for certain!" —ICH

13. A Flush 'n' Sparkle self-cleaning toilet system that'll keep your latrine shining with each and every flush so that your guests aren't horrified by the mere sight of your toilet bowl. Plus, it has a replaceable bleach cartridge, which lasts up to three months!
Promising review: "Best purchase of 2023! I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning, it was infuriating and I found myself cleaning toilets literally 2–3 times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured why not so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now and from what I'm seeing I should be able to clean my toilets maybe once every two months now. I am so happy, if you have a hard water build up issues do yourself a favor and buy one of these, try it on a single toilet first just to be sure but I think you will be happy :)." —nima bean

14. A minimalist silverware tray with slanted compartments to maximize the storage space and give you wayyyy more wiggle room when you have more utensils than you could possibly hope to fit. Now you can happily buy those teeny tiny coffee spoons for your dinner party that you've been eyeing at Home Goods with all of the extra space you've managed to free up.
It also comes in a version just for knives.
Promising review: "I thought this would be handy, and help with space management in a small apartment. It turned out to be absolutely perfect. It keeps the silverware clean, and stores a lot in a very small space. I love it. I got two, because I inherited my grandmothers silverware, so there are two types of forks and two types of spoons, and I wanted things separate and organized. Two organizers fit side-by-side in a standard apartment drawer. After getting these, I picked up the knife organizer, and it’s just as handy and useful." —Jerimi
Get it from Amazon for $11.39.
15. A FuRemover rubber broom to extract all those clumps of fur and human locks of hair from your precious carpet in just a few sweeps. Your allergy-prone book club members will thank you for it when they come over for some tea and discussions. You'll especially love just how brand-new your carpet now looks.
It also has a built-in squeegee for spills on hard surfaces.
Promising review: "I use this on my wood floors and my rugs. I have three big dogs who shed like crazy. It is the perfect shape and size to fit anywhere to get the fur trapped under couches, tables, etc. As soon as I got it, I tried it out and my jaw dropped after how well it worked. It's completely made of rubber and molded so it won't fall apart." —Brittney
Promising review: "This is the best $13 I’ve ever spent in my life. I’ve had it for three days and I’ve told like 37 people about it. I don’t have carpet in my house, but I have rugs and hardwood floors and giant German shepherd hair tumbleweeds. I’m not kidding I felt like I was swimming in dog hair! I was sweeping with a regular broom several times a day and it felt like I was trapped in a fur dust storm. My allergies were begging me to find a solution. I bought ALL the vacuums and blew up every single one of them, including an actual Shop-Vac. This thing somehow magically attracts all the dog hair and dirt in a neat little pile. I will buy this again and again until I die." —Kimber Leigh

16. An adhesive cord organizer because having a mess of wires cluttering the corner of your living room is an eyesore you don't want to subject your guests to. Keep them bound, neat, and out of the way so that your little nieces and nephews don't accidentally trip on a fan wire when running around your home.
Check out a TikTok of the cord organizer in action.
Promising review: "I got this for my minimalist husband who hates getting 'things' for gifts almost as much as he hates clutter. He was practically giddy after we installed several of these on various kitchen appliances. It’s not just storage — but moving the appliance around from its storage location to the countertop is a nicer experience. He was seriously swinging around a food processor with one hand, saying, 'This is so much neater!' To each their own I suppose. For us normies, it does exactly what it’s supposed to. Easy to stick on, I like that it holds the plug neatly as well. I would love if it came in white, but the gray is a nice neutral." —Elizabeth L.

17. A sink cleaner and polish to rejuvenate your sink and bring back its former shine after years of spaghetti sauce stains marring the once sparkly porcelain or stainless steel. Don't let your friends see the aftermath of yesterday's lasagna; simply polish your sink with this liquid magic and all your stains will simply wash away.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer has this 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 only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible. My cleaning person came on Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday, with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following the application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and a quick rinse, it looks new. I’ve ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of the product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it’s honestly perfect.)" —EdUK8

These containers have not only elevated the aesthetics of my pantry, but also contributed to my sustainability efforts. I am pleased with the quality and sturdiness of the glass, as well as the tightly sealed lids." —Caroline

Spice racks only *wish* they could. These drawer liners are made of a soft foam to keep your jars in the right position (label up!) so you can quickly grab what you need. And you can trim them to fit your drawers!
Promising review: "This is one of my favorite things I've ever purchased from Amazon! I think this will be my go-to gift for all of my friends who love cooking as much as I do! Freeing up cabinet space and having something that can so easily be rinsed off in the sink makes this a for-sure buy!" —momonono

You can use this on basically anything: glass, porcelain, fiberglass, metal, sandstone and tile.
Promising review: "100% sure this is sorcery because it works so well. This product is magic! I just did my first use and it cleaned out so much gunk out of my shower I didn’t even know was there! (Photo of my grout half sprayed for proof) It was quick, it was easy, and now my whole bathroom smells like a vanilla cup cake! I am VERY satisfied with this product." —Amazon Customer

This works on literally everything — sinks, cookware, stainless steel, faucets, countertops, tubs, toilets, grout, and more — and you can clean all of them with this one little product.
Promising review: "Hands down, the BEST cleanser for sinks and tubs I have ever used. I bought this because the Comet bleach cleaner was not getting rid of some stains in my tub (regular-use stains and a little ring from a cup). After two applications of Bar Keepers Friend, one overnight and one for a couple of hours, the stains and 95% of the ring are gone. And it smells a thousand times better than Comet or bleach. Do not hesitate to buy." —SI801

Plus, it doesn't streak down once you spray it, so cleaning those large mirrors just became a whole lot easier.
Promising review: "I will never buy another glass cleaner! It works amazingly! No streaks or smears, very easy to use. It's foam and you only have to go over the glass one TIME. I don’t like the scent, but it doesn’t linger long. I introduced this product to my family and friends and everyone loves it. I’ve never been more excited about a glass cleaner! Trust me, it’s worth it." —george P.

Promising review: "I own a house-cleaning business, so I am always looking for the best products. I've tried many products (including non-green products in my own home), and this is my absolute favorite. Many wood floor cleaners leave a film and can be sticky, but not this. Just squirt and mop. I've tried the other Method scents and they work great, but the almond is my favorite. My clients always rave about the scent and often ask what I use and where to get it. Absolutely love this!" —Jamie Parsons

Promising review: "BEST VACUUM I'VE EVER BOUGHT! I moved into a brand new apartment complex that was just built, and after being there for a week with three cats, I decided to vacuum the carpet and rugs. TO SAY MY JAW DROPPED IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. The suction, without a doubt, is the best one I’ve ever had (including several Dysons). It is lightweight to push, and going from carpet to wood floors is amazing.

Promising review: "Best thing I ever bought in my life! I can NOT believe I lasted so long without Roomba. I wasted years of my life vacuuming on weekends instead of resting! You start it and let it do its thing. Will remind you when it’s full and knows to go home when the battery is low. Does a great job with dog hair (we have a Collie who sheds like [wild]). I only need to stick a dust swiffer in tight corners where Roomba can’t fit once a week… maybe. It is an amazing tool! P.S. I don’t use the app. I just like to be present when it works." —C. Nistor

Aside from my own house, I clean for others, and this has easily cut my blind cleaning time in half. Which is perfect for such a tedious job. It gets to the edge of wide blinds.

Don't use a bucket of baking soda and other DIY remedies in the attempt to bring back the previous shine — just use this kit, which includes a cooktop cleaning solution, a scrubbing pad, and a scraper so you can absolutely remove every bit of grime!
Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well as every home remedy suggestion, and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and, after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it’s incredible. 5 stars+++" —Implied Queens

33. A 20-pack of extra thick melamine cleaning pads so you can scrub up your crayon-covered walls and toothpaste-stained bathroom sink before your guests realize just how long you've been neglecting the mess in your home. Just wet the eraser and scrub at any dirty surface to make everything cleaner than ever — while saving you some moolah compared to Mr. Clean Magic Erasers.
Promising review: "These are the best. Sooo much better than Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Won't buy those anymore and these will last me a very long time. I scrubbed, and they got everything clean and didn't break apart!!! Can even reuse if I wanted." —miguel mendez
Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics, or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie

34. An EasyWring microfiber spin mop for those who want sparkling floors with very little hassle. It has a specially designed microfiber head mop that will easily and effectively pick up dirt without needing to use half the bottle of Fabuloso. It even has a built-in wringer and splash guard so that those droplets of dirty water don't splatter across your freshly clean tiles!
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 who 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 they weren'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

35. A beeswax wood polisher to bring some shine to those worn cabinets that seemingly keep fading each and every day. No, you don't need to replace that wooden dining table that has suffered numerous dings and dents over the years — simply use this polish on a regular basis.
Promising review: "Okay, I never really write reviews. Who has time for that? But holy cow I am AMAZED by the improvement this product gave my coffee table! I run an in-home daycare and have become disgusted at the state of our solid and expensive wooden coffee table. This product is magic! The table looks brand new! It was so easy to use, too. Thank you!" —Clinton Baker

Promising review: "This cleaner is amazing! Just 4 ounces cleaned the pipes like nothing else I have tried! The results are immediate and very effective. I will only use Oh Yuk in the future." —Gadget Specialist

37. A slim profile shoe rack so that your fave accessories can be put safely away instead of displayed for judgment when your family comes over and makes comments on just how many pairs of shoes you own. Plus, it's super chic and will look great paired with the rest of your home decor.
Btw, the image is of two of the cabinets next to each other!
Promising review: "Love the shoe storage. Mostly bought for the look, not practicality. These fit sandals/anything flat like Birks, running shoes, and Air Forces fine, but anything taller won't fit. Six shoes total for one cabinet fit. Would buy again. Does as advertised and easy on the eyes." —mmaj
