Stubborn stains, clogged sinks, greasy buildup, smelly clothes, and endless pet hair are no match for these powerhouse cleaners.

Promising review: "Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Cleans thoroughly, removes stains, and leaves the bowl looking fresh without excessive scrubbing. The gel clings well to the sides, and the scent isn’t overpowering. Reliable, effective, and a staple cleaning product." —Yunior

Promising review: "This stuff really is magical! When we moved into our house, the previous owners did a horrible job of cleaning the stainless-steel appliances. There were permanent run marks going down the front that I could not remove... And I tried EVERYTHING. I should note that I’m not actually positive that these appliances are true stainless steel or just manufactured to look like that. I wanted to cry tears of joy after wiping down the dishwasher because I had been looking at those awful run marks for three years, and they were finally gone! The whole tub is worth it for that appliance alone." —MayBae

Promising review: "Bought on a recommendation from a friend. I spend a lot of time fishing and trying to get the fish and bait smell out of clothes, which is very difficult. Was told to use this as a booster in the wash; it worked great! Fish smells gone! I use it in every load now. No more leftover smells!" —Helena

Promising review: "OMG! This has to be the absolute best oven cleaner I have used! I didn’t have to scrub anything. It just wiped off after twenty minutes of letting it sit. I have tried every cleaner on the market, and nothing compares. I immediately threw away all the other oven cleaners I have accumulated over the years. This is the only one you will ever need!" —Christina Robinson

Get it from Amazon for $10.69 (also available as a pack of six).

Promising review: "Saw on TikTok and thought the amount of dust that this vacuum picked up was INCREDIBLE. Every single time I use this vacuum, it pulls up so much from my carpet. I've even had to dump the canister after a couple of rooms. The noise level is average compared to that of any other vacuum. Cleaning power is great, especially when you are pulling the vacuum back to you. The suction is next level! I love that I can take it apart and clean my stairs without having to lug the entire system up and down. I have recommended this vacuum to friends. I've seen it on TikTok being used as a top choice among professional cleaners as well." —Ashley

Promising review: "This is a game changer for my car. It has elevated its interior look astronomically and provides a great, fresh, clean smell when I am finished. It gets off any dirt from my leather seats, vinyl dash, or plastic moulding. Good product, good price, and it seems like it will last me a long time." —Collin Rhodes

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in a bundle with microfiber towels, a larger size, and a pack of two).

While reviewers love the way this stuff deals with gross smells, they warn not to spray it directly on pets, as some may find it irritating.

Promising review: "LOVE this stuff! Great smell, and stains come right out! The new puppy went to the bathroom frequently in one room. That room stunk even after using almost a whole bottle of a different cleaner! I sprayed it once with this, and all the smell was gone! In the pics, the before is of a puppy accident after cleanup with paper towels, and the after picture shows how it looked after using Angry Orange." —Jamie L Stewart

Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and a two-pack).

Promising review: "I love these! They clean tough buildup off dishes and counters, stove top, etc., without scratching. They last forever and can be washed. They don't have the smells that a sponge or rag can easily get after using for a short time. I haven't noticed any smell at all with these. I use them in my bathroom, especially on the shower door. There's no rust like with a steel pad, but the same results! Definitely buying more since I handed a few out to family and friends. Great price for an amazing product that arrived on time. Plus, they don't scratch your hands. My husband is a mechanic and uses them to clean his hands. So glad I gave them a try!" —RayC

Humble Suds is a Denver-based Etsy shop creating plant-based cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and come in cute packaging (Bonus!).

Former BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy has this and says, "Shortly after moving in to my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). After handling all that grossness, it has had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

Promising review: "I am absolutely thrilled with this all-purpose scouring paste! I used it on my glass stove top, and it effortlessly removed caked-on spots that I thought would never come off." —Rosemary

Promising review: "These things saved me from replacing my entire upstairs carpet! We had already replaced one section before finding these and were worried we’d have to replace another section at a cost of $3,000. I stomp and leave it for 24 hours, and I was amazed to see my carpet was its original light cream color. I now stock a box of these and have told every one of my pet-owning friends about them. I’ll never spend hours scrubbing the floor or carpet shampooing again!" —findingk8

Use it once a month to keep your machine fresh and clean!

Promising review: "I purchased with skepticism, but after using them, I am pleasantly surprised. I LOVE this product!! Our laundry used to come out smelling WORSE than before I washed it. I thought I needed to buy a new washing machine. NO!!! I used two tabs initially (two different wash cycles), then used one a month for maintenance. My clothes always come out smelling fresh and clean! What a miracle, money-saving product. Only wish I’d known about them sooner!" —Ashley

Promising review: "Job well done! If you struggle with frequent drain clogs like I do, I highly recommend this product. It’s easy to use, effective, and a great value for the price. The hook design lets me reach deep into the drain and pull out a surprising amount of hair and debris." —Rose Cabusao

One reviewer mentions cleaning five sinks with just this one bottle! 

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

People also swear by this for removing annoying stickers from new products in their kitchens and bathrooms, too!

Promising review: "Goo Gone has a million different uses. Highly recommend this product to anyone. You are bound to find a use for it at some point, and it's pretty easy to store at home. Recently, I used some to remove the packaging from glass mason jars. I noticed the jars of tomato sauce I was buying from the grocery store were actually really nice mason jars. Felt like a waste throwing them out. Why buy a set of mason jars when, instead, you could just buy some Goo Gone and restore your own set? The process was pretty easy for removing the stickers that were glued to the jars." —Ryan

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about it: "Seriously, a swipe of this stuff made the goo leftover from a magnet on my rental apartment's fridge wipe away like magic — of course, after I'd ruined a manicure unsuccessfully scratching away at it. It also did sorcery on stickers fused onto the garage door windows at my friend's new house. If you've considered tossing something because of a sticky mess, try this first." 

Get it from Amazon for $9+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "If it were possible to give 10 stars, this product is definitely worth it. I originally bought this in the store and was most impressed with how well it cleaned the refrigerator of all fingerprints and watermarks. My friend came over and said, 'What in the world did you clean your refrigerator with because it looks brand new?!' It is the best product I have ever used on my refrigerator and stove! Just wipe down and let it sink in, then wipe over with a clean, soft towel for a polished, shiny look! IT IS MARVELOUS! I SAY MARVELOUS! Don't bother with sprays! I bought two containers so that I will not run out for a long time!" —Roie

Get it from Amazon for $4.68 (also available in bundles and multi-packs). 

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

Promising review: "After moving into a house owned by older adults, a lot was neglected. Feeling overwhelmed by the hard water left in our shower, I avoided it for months. After watching TikTok, I found this product recommendation, and MY GOD did it change my life. It is SUPER messy, so wear gloves, and it’s easiest to squeeze on a paper towel, apply, and then scrub with a wool scrub after. But once you figure out the flow, boy, does it work!!!" —Alicia

Promising review: "Miss Mouth's messy stain treatment is magic!!! As a mom to a 10-week-old, we have had to use this product multiple times per day for various stains, and it has been incredible. There has not been a single stain that this product was not able to get out! It is easy to use, so easy to bring with you on the go (we keep it in all our diaper bags!), the packaging does not leak, and it works so well!!! Highly recommend this to any other families out there with little ones!" —Kelleen Wegener

Promising review: "Holy smokes! This scrubbing steam mop is the best purchase I have made in a while. My first time using it to clean my wood floors, I had intended to clean just the kitchen, but I ended up doing the whole first floor. AMAZING. Quieter than expected, I could use this even when my husband is asleep. I had to refill the water reservoir a couple of times, but it is really easy to do. My floors are cleaner than they have ever been. Washable pads are being washed now. I think I'll order a few more — I really want to do more flooring! I couldn't say enough positive things. So happy I made this purchase. Now I think I'll get one for my sister for Christmas." —Ranger's Mom

The company that created this brush is a small business founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without hurting himself.

These brushes fit with any drill, but if you don't have one, you can grab one here.

Promising review: "Of all things to clean in the house, the bathroom has to be my least favorite!! I would scrub and scrub and scrub to try and remove calcium deposit stains and soap buildup. It was like my workout for the day! Well, after using my new Power Scrubber Drill Brush Attachment, OH MY GOSH!! I am obsessed!! I had so much fun using it. I seriously did not wanna stop cleaning. I did not work up a sweat this time, and it was amazing to see the calcium deposit stain wash away along with the soap buildup. Seriously, though, the different attachments came in very handy depending on where I was operating the drill. The angled corners of the tile walls were cleaned perfectly with the circular brush. Also, the circular brush was awesome for the drain, too. The big scrub brush was spectacular on the bathtub itself, while the little scrub brush worked well with the grout lines in the tile. The attachments were easy to put on and take off the drill. They were also easy to clean, dry, and put away for the next time. The price was WELL worth the product. There truly is no reason not to make this purchase to make cleaning fun again!!" —Itz me Michelle

Promising review: "Finally got around to trying this stuff. Lived up to the hype, really a 'miracle' paste as it is effective at cleaning many things. So far, I’ve used it to clean my stove, stainless kitchen sink, and shower (doors and all), and it worked. Also got rid of a deep stain on my kitchen counter that Clorox wipes couldn’t get out. Picked up so much dirt that the microfiber towels I used got thrown away; I couldn’t see them being cleaned well enough to reuse. Seriously thinking about ditching all my other kitchen/bathroom cleaners and just using this because so far, it seems to do it all. And it’s not super expensive either. They’ve got another fan in me!" —sunsean

Promising reviews: "I wanted to do a top-to-bottom deep clean in my bathroom and kitchen. I decided to try Zep Wall Cleaner, and I'm glad I did. It is absolutely perfect for cleaning walls. It cleaned so well that my husband said I didn't realize our kitchen walls were light gray. Lol. The walls just shine and feel so good when you rub your hand across them. It took all of the grease off of my walls, which I loved, without having to do hardly any scrubbing. I think this is a great value for the money, considering you don't need much." —Riley

"This is a great product, cleans very well, and doesn't damage painted walls. I also discovered by accident that it does a great job on stainless steel. No residue to rub off! A little goes a long way, so very economical too." —Sandra D.

Promising review: "Holy cow! The only thing I'm mad about is that I didn't know about it sooner! I have three teenage daughters. My shower sees body oils, creams, hair dye, etc., DAILY. Scrubbing once a week wasn't enough. The girls didn't always remember to use the daily shower spray. This stuff WORKS! I can see the difference after two uses, two days in a row. Could see a change on day one. I think one more use will have my tub looking like I scrubbed with bleach for an hour!" —Jon W.

The kit includes cooktop cleaner, cleaning pad, cleaning pad grip tool, and scraper.

Promising review: "I especially like the razor. I have a brand-new glass-top stove, and on the first couple of nights, I've already gotten something stuck on that no amount of scrubbing (three types of scrubbers) would remove. Very frustrating. I saw this in a list of Amazon favorites and ordered it. It worked the first try!!! The razor is an enormous help, but the liquid is excellent, and having the scrubby mounted on a handle gives it a lot more oomph. I won’t be out of this ever!" —Bev Kirkman

Promising review: "If I could give this product six 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

Promising review: "I decided to take a chance on this broom, and I am so happy I did. It takes some elbow grease, but it gets the fur off the area rug in my living room. Not only is it great for getting the fur off rugs, but it’s also even better on the hard floors. My regular broom catches some of the hair (which I then have to clean off by hand), but much of it just swirls away in the breeze created by the sweeping. This broom actually collects even the tiny stray hairs and deposits them in the dust pile without me having to get my hands dirty (literally)." —Sarah R

Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business that creates cleaning products, especially for homes with furry friends.

Promising review: "I have a dog and two young boys, and I’m constantly cleaning the rug and sofa. I have tried other name-brand cleaning solutions, vinegar solutions, and Resolve, and nothing works as well as this. All the other ones have a weird smell that almost just mixes with the bad smells and makes it worse. This has a very clean and fresh scent and actually removes the odors!!!! Works well on carpet, rugs, and sofa upholstery. I use it in my upright carpet cleaner and small portable carpet cleaner. The best!" —Jessica B.

Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! 

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this spray: "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. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."

Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok, where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc., and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time, and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference (above) of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina

I was recently influenced to purchase one of these, and I can tell you it genuinely works. I wasn't really expecting it to do much, but when I used it in my shower, I could see the water stains getting lifted immediately. The grout cleaner attachment is especially helpful for the awkward corners of my shower that I couldn't seem to reach with any other brushes. It really takes out most of the work and allows you to get a deeper clean without as much elbow grease.

Promising review: "In my kitchen especially, the detailing on my cupboards and floor molding was starting to look like they could grow a garden in them. I saw a review for this tool, took a chance, and just completed two cabinet doors in 20 minutes that would have taken me forever by hand (toothpick, toothbrush, etc.). Love it!!! I learned not to press on it; the circulating bristles don't require any pressure. Just let them do the work. Can't wait to attack the baseboards and feel clean again." —Ms.Mac

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

Promising reviews: "I moved into this house over a year ago and haven't been able to get the gunk out of the top of the microwave, no matter what I've tried. Used this ONCE, and it's more than halfway gone!! SOOOOOO HAPPY!! Didn't have to scrub very hard or anything; it just came right off. It'll need another time or two of use before it's all the way gone, but I can't tell you how impressed I am. It smells like vinegar when you're done, but not for very long. Super easy to use and definitely worth the money." —briona

"Did I need Angry Mama to clean my microwave? No. But did I want it? Heck yes! Did it clean my microwave? Heck yes, it did! Am I banned from ever using it while my sister is around? Also, heck yes!
