1. Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover spray to effectively remove 99.9% of mold, mildew, and other yuckiness from shower tiles and caulking with super minimal work on your part. Just a few spritzes and some light elbow grease is all you'll need!
Promising review: "When we moved into our house, the master bath had some serious buildup in the tub that other products (and tons of scrubbing) could not improve at all. Just by spraying this and letting it sit for a few minutes, the bleach worked its magic, and we have a clean tub! Great, easy to use cleaner - just make sure to keep a window open as long as you can since it has a strong odor/fumes." —The Snarfs
Price: $19.99 for two bottles (available in packs of one or three).

See it in action on TikTok!
Promising review: "I have four cats and one dog so you can imagine there's pet hair everywhere. I constantly have to vacuum. This is the perfect solution for a quick hair removal on fabric, like a sofa cover. It's weirdly satisfying to use it. Whoever came up with this gadget is a GENIUS! It really does pick up hair easily. This is a MUST BUY!!" —teresa
Price: $23.99+ (available in three colors)
3. A bottle of Goo Gone — a liquid kitchen degreaser that effortlessly removes even the most stubborn and caked-on buildup from stoves, cabinets, ovens, and any other surfaces that are ~cramping your shine~.
4. A wet-and-forget weekly shower spray if you want a ✨glistening✨ shower without having to scrub. Uhhh, let me think about that...YES! Spray it once a week, and then just rinse it off 8–12 hours later to remove soap scrum, grime, mildew, and other yuckiness.
5. Or, a shower door cleaner to specifically target hard-water spots and other filmy buildup on glass. It'll make your shower look so ~polished~ that you'll probably feel like you're in some fancy hotel suite.
Check out this Rain-X TikTok cleaning hack that will keep your shower door sparkling and see-through!
Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time, I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, and it turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Price: $17.48 (also available in a two-pack)
6. A Clorox toilet cleaning system that's not only easier than traditional cleaning but also eliminates the need to have a gross toilet brush around. Just attach one of the disposable, disinfecting sponges to the wand, give the bowl a quick scrub, and ditch the now-dirty sponge and replace with a new refill head.
7. Plus, an overnight toilet tank cleaner because it's just not enough for the toilet bowl to be sparkly clean, the toilet tank needs to be clean too! Best of all, you only need to pour this into the tank, and it'll do the rest.
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 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
Price: $9.17 (also available in a six-pack)
8. A window blind duster brush to help you tackle what is arguably the most tedious cleaning task out there: dusting each individual slat of the blinds. You'll find it's quite easy to use and will have your blinds wonderfully dust-free in no time.
Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioners and car blinds.
Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D
Price: $6.99
9. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner in case you've started to notice a strange odor wafting up from the sink. This will break down any lingering food residue and get rid of the smell, leaving the sink and drain nice 'n shiny in the process.
Promising review: "I love these! I absolutely hate a dirty sink and I use these to keep my disposal from stinking. We bought our house back in October and there was a crazy funk coming from the drain. I tried a lot of different things from baking soda/vinegar to ice and lemons, etc. These little packages have gotten rid of that problem and I continue to use them bc they are cheap and they work. Also, there is something really satisfying about the blue bubbles in the sink." —Danielle
Price: $3.40 for four tablets (available in larger multipacks)
10. A set-it-and-forget-it multipurpose outdoor cleaner for an easy way to get rid of green moss and mildew stains on your driveway, patio, front walk, and other outdoor surfaces. You should notice a difference in as little as a week, giving you a gorgeous yard for spring and summer.
Tougher black stains could take several months to go away, and if needed, you can re-spray 1–2 months after the first application.
Promising review: "I have a brick patio. When I bought this house it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow does it do exactly what it says it will do." —PM in NH
Price: $19.85
11. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets if your dishes are NOT coming out sparkly clean like they should. Run a cycle with one of these tablets to remove any gunk, buildup, and odor in your machine — before you know it, your dishes will be coming out like new again!
The tablet goes in the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time). Then, simply run as usual.
Promising review: "Honestly love these things! I am renting and our dishwasher was not cleaned super well between tenants. I popped one of these in and could already see a huge difference; after using two, my dishes have come out looking so much cleaner! I have the same brand for washing machine cleaner and love those, too." —M
Another promising review: "I have had a film on my dishwasher for quite some time now, I am embarrassed to say. We did not realize that it was necessary to clean the dishwasher from time to time. The buildup had been accumulating for over four years now. I tried several other cleaners to get the buildup off, but failed. I bought this product and figured it was worth a try. We added the product into the dishwasher and ran a normal cycle without dishes. When we opened it back up, it looked like new. Highly recommend this product!" —Phillip and Katherine
Price: $8.99 (also available in a 12-pack).
12. A tub of The Pink Stuff — it works so well you'll actually have the motivation to tackle those tough spring cleaning projects. Reviewers call it a "holy grail" product, so don't be surprised when it effortlessly scrubs away soap scum and rust stains from tubs, sinks, appliances, and more!
This all-purpose and vegan paste is great for removing rust, hard-water stains, grease, and more messes around your home! To use, just apply it to a surface with a damp cloth, gently rub it in, rinse it off with water, and polish the area with a dry cloth.
Promising review: "This stuff is absolutely amazing! We have VERY hard water in our home and this stuff is a miracle product. It is the only product I’ve bought that actually works without having to let sit or without having to use extra human arm strength to get it off our shower. A little goes a long way. Simply put a dab on a cloth and press and wipe. Boom… mildew, rust stains, grime is gone! I took before and after pics but even they didn’t do it justice. I will never use another product in my shower again. I’m excited to try this out in other areas next!!" —Stacey S.
Price: $5.49+ (also available in a two-pack)
13. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner if your microwave never manages to stay clean for more than a meal or two. Somebody always manages to explode something in there, but nobody ever manages to wipe it down. 🙄 Well, now you can just fill this feisty lady with vinegar and water before running the microwave for seven minutes — when the timer goes off, you'll have a sparkly clean microwave again!
Promising reviews: "Our work microwave was so disgusting I wanted to throw it out. Or thought I would need a Hazmat suit to clean it. I literally put Angry Mama in for seven minutes, and everything just wiped right off. It was amazing. Then I put Angry Mama on top of the microwave. It’s a funny reminder to everyone at work to keep the microwave clean. Highly recommend!" —Bridget
Price: $8.49+ (available in four colors).
14. A miracle-working carpet cleaner here to remove any and all evidence of serious mishaps, like disastrous coffee spills, ink explosions, and more. Give this stuff a try before you abandon all hope and call in the professionals.
15. A versatile pack of melamine sponges that are just as ~magic~ as other brands, only way more affordable. With these, all you need to clear away tough stains and messes is water and a bit of elbow grease!
In case you missed the hint, reviewers say they're just as effective as the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!
Promising review: "My husband and I recently moved to a new apartment and the previous renter was a slob. (Seriously, I'm thinking that there may have even been a demon possession involved. We're talking food on the CEILING kind of 'slob'). Upon moving in, I noticed some sort of unidentifiable grossness all over the back of my bathroom door! After donning a hazmat suit, I grabbed one of these erasers and in no time flat the possible dried projectile demon vomit was off of my door. Thank goodness!" —Beckaroosy
Another promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau
Price: $14.95 for a 20-pack (also available in a 100-pack)
16. A no-rinse coil cleaner since having clean coils on your fridge and air conditioner ensures they keep cool and run efficiently (and sparkle, of course) — but alas, this means you have to keep the coils clean! Luckily, you can just spray this foaming cleaner onto the coils and watch the dust vanish before your very eyes.
Promising review: "Works like magic! I have a Sub-Zero refrigerator with the evaporator at the top. I looked and saw the amount of lint and grime that had built up. There were several versions of this type of product, I bought this — one of the less expensive versions — and it worked exceptionally well. I have no idea where all of the stuff goes — but when this spray hits it, it disappears. There is probably enough of the stuff in the can to do three or four refrigerators, so I passed it onto my neighbors, who were impressed, too." —MatBo911
Price: $18.29 (also available in a two-pack)
17. A powerful drill brush kit so you can restore your tub after you pull up the bathmat only to find grimy caked-on stains underneath. 🤮 With three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes, this kit has everything you need to get rid of soap scum and buildup everywhere, from corners to flat surfaces.
Just attach one to your drill and watch it clean those messes with hardly any effort on your part — here's a drill if you need one!
This brush comes in different colors and bristle textures: white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpets, upholstery, glass, and leather; yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathrooms, bathtubs, shower, tiles, and porcelain; green is a medium bristle, best for kitchens, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoes/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garages, and gutters; and black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.
Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing.
Promising review: "I had some buildup of soap scum on my bathroom sink I had tried to get off, and it just wasn't possible, so I let it continue to build up. I got to the point where I just thought it looked awful and needed a new solution. I decided the drill brushes was worth trying, and within about 10 minutes of drill brushing my sink is like brand-new." —ToddV
Price: $18.95 (available with soft, medium, stiff, and ultra-stiff bristles in several colors and in three-packs)
18. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to keep the thing that cleans your clothes clean. 😊 Not to mention, if you've been struggling with the dreaded musty machine smell, many reviewers say this completely solved the problem and left it smelling fresh!
The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle, then wipe away the residue — easy breezy!
Promising review: "These are like magic! We all know that front load washers can get a distinct smell to them after a while. Every once in a while I pop one of these babies in, run it on self clean, and let it go. As soon as it’s done, it’s like I have a brand new machine. The scent isn’t strong, no more than your average detergent. I swear by these. I highly recommend them to friends and I highly recommend them to you, too!" —Alyssat17
Price: $11.38 for a six-pack (also available in a three-pack).
19. A nifty baseboard cleaning tool that extends and swivels 360 degrees, which means no spot is out of reach! You'll be astounded by how much dust has accumulated on top of all your door frames, windows, and other hard-to-reach ledges.
Promising review: "I have lived in my house for three years and have never cleaned my baseboards. We are a busy, active family and 'clean the baseboards' is never on the immediate list of things to be done…not to say that it doesn’t need to be done. I just don’t have time. Then I spotted the Baseboard Buddy. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. It showed up today and I put it together in about two minutes and took it for a test drive. I dusted my entire downstairs, above the doors and along the stair rails in about 15 minutes! I used it dry and it worked great. I’ll probably use a multipurpose cleaner with it next time. The head swivels, which is great. There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy." —Jennifer H.
Price: $24.99
20. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner so you can relax after all your spring cleaning with a luxurious soak in clean water. Not to ~burst your bubble bath~, but there's likely soap scum, body oils, and other yuckiness hiding away in those jets, all of which this stuff will clear out.
Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.
Promising review: "I honestly did not think this was going to work any better than some other methods I had tried. Boy was I wrong. Followed the instructions and watched in disbelief as the gunk and the grime started surfacing in the tub. Let it run its course, drained the tub, then filled it with cold water, ran the jets for 10 minutes, and it was like brand new. Every now and then you come across a product that actually works, this being one of those. BTW it hardly has any smell, which also surprised me." —JJS in Madison
Price: $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack)
21. A heavy-duty grout cleaner that will have everyone thinking you completely re-did the floors. You might even fool yourself when the space in between the tiles suddenly turns white instead of gray. 😱
Clean-Eez is an Indiana-based small biz selling cleaning products that'll make tackling even the toughest jobs a lot easier.
Promising review: "Simply the best product! I rent and unfortunately not everyone takes good care of a rental property. I just moved and was disgusted by the flooring (regular white tiles with disgustingly dark grout). Used the product as directed and the results really impressed me! Definitely recommend this product!" —Maria Alejandra Hinojosa
Another promising review: "After trying to get my grout clean with everything I could think of and not having any success, I stumbled upon a TikTok using Grout-Eez so i thought I would try it. This stuff is legit. I’m confident a professional cleaner couldn’t get my grout cleaner. There is literally no dirt left. Very little scrubbing required and little to no odor. It’s amazing! The scrub brush included attached to my paint handle and I didn’t even have to bend over. I cleaned it twice because my grout was really dirty, then I sealed the grout in hopes it won’t get dirty again so fast. I can’t wait to do the rest of my house!" —Kathy
Price: $39.95 for two bottles and a brush
22. A set of suuuper teeny detailing brushes for cleaning the crevices on your ornate furniture, decor, or electronic gadgets! Would this be considered overboard by some? Perhaps. But we just call it being thorough. Oh, and by the way, the sharp-ended handles mean these brushes double as mini scrapers.
It includes a crevice brush, bottle brush, groove brush, gap brush, edge brush, detailing brush, track brush, corner brush, and hole brush.
Promising review: "I'm always needing to clean impossibly tight spaces and corners. These were inexpensive, so I gave them a shot and I'm glad I did. They're better than I'd hoped. Not only do they have useful brushes and soft tipped heads that wipe tight spaces, the handles have hard plastic tools on the other end as well. I've scraped grime and film from corners and grooves with the angled plastic scraper edges on the handles of several of these tools, then used that tool's soft tip to wipe it away. I'm restoring a 100-year-old house, so I clean some really grimy things. I've been amazed at how completely the soft tips on these rinse clean under just some hot water with a squirt of bleach cleaner for the worst of the grime. The zip-up plastic pouch is a nice extra. Nothing fancy about it, but it keeps the tools together and easy to find. And it's sturdy, which I appreciate." —R. Hewitt
Price: $7.29 for the 8-piece set (also available in smaller and larger sets).
23. Or an Oxo deep-clean brush set — it's perfect for scrubbing the seemingly impossible crevices, like on your faucet, in between tiles, and more. It's like an extremely robust and durable toothbrush!
The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side.
Promising review: "Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." —Laura Gail
Price: $8.69 (also available in a grout brush).
24. And a 2-in-1 ultra-slim brush and scraper since it can easily fit into those super narrow, easily-forgotten spaces you definitely need to clean, such as the bathroom vent, radiator, and window grooves.
Promising review: "Perfect little brush to get in the hard to clean areas. Used it in the tracks of an old pet door stuffed with dog hair and dander. Shocked at how much gunk came out with this brush. I like how the bristles are longer and can really reach into the nooks and crannies." —Island Girl
Price: $4.99 (available in three colors)
25. A cooktop cleaning kit that will keep your ceramic stovetop looking brand spanking new. In fact, your friends might start to question if you ever actually cook at home.
26. A pack of two plant-based stainless steel cleaners because stainless steel looks so sleek... until it's covered in fingerprints and water marks. This is specifically formulated to remove smudges without leaving streak marks. All shine, no grime baby! 😉
Promising review: "The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good, and the price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now, my stainless steel appliances look shiny, and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." —diana
Price: $19.95+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack)
27. A spray-and-drip crystal cleaner to transform your dull chandelier into a stunning statement piece, which has the wonderful side effect of making your home feel like the Palace of Versailles. Best of all, this just sprays on with no wiping needed, so no need to take down the fixture and clean every crystal individually!
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the chandelier...gross. I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I’ve attached before and after one application photos —seen above." —kw
Price: $23.95
28. A pack of Swedish dishcloths — AKA super absorbent, reusable, and biodegradable little towels that are clearly far superior than any other option. Why? Well, these are more eco-friendly than sponges, stronger and more reusable than paper towels *and* way more versatile. Use them dry or wet for cleaning dishes, kitchen floors and appliances, scrubbing the tub, and other household tasks.
