Promising review: "This stuff is AMAZING!!! It cleaned the impossible to remove scuff marks off my fridge, my stove top, and cleaned out pans that we have tried EVERYTHING on. It was so easy! It took minimal scrubbing and now we can use our pans again. So worth the money, you can use this stuff to clean so many things!" —Angie Sparrow

BuzzFeed editor Emma Lord owns this squeegee broom and said: "An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my FURemover broom review for more deets."

Promising review: "I am allergic to cats, so here I am with two cats that shed like crazy. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush.

"It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi

Note: Using these tablets monthly can help improve dishwasher performance, because they'll clean hard-to-see areas (internal hoses, pump and valve, and the tub) crucial for washing dishes. If your plates are coming out cloudy or dirty often, you may want to buy some of these dishwasher-cleaning tablets for better results.

Promising review: "We moved into our house in late January and the previous owners were lazy. Upon opening the dishwasher you got hit with a 'yuck' smell. I tried a measuring cup filled with white vinegar, it helped, but the smell was still there. I saw these on a BuzzFeed list. I ordered and threw one in our dishwasher without any dishes and ran it. The smell is gone!!! I haven't noticed a difference in dish cleanliness yet but simply because I haven't ran it since. These are a great, inexpensive and easy way to clean your dishwasher for sure." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I have been having shower draining issues so there was a build up of soap scum in my shower. I have a very weak stomach and cleaning the shower makes me physically ill. I have tried several products that have claimed to be no scrub/wipe but this has been the only one that has worked. I sprayed it after my shower and left it to sit until the next night. Found that A LOT of the grime had disappeared. Now, was it perfect? No. But I think with consistent use it will get there. Highly recommend this product." —KZ

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 that 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

Promising review: "This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell, but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time, and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher, and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." —khrystyne torres

Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that sells cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was established in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.

Promising review: "I love these brush attachments! Makes cleaning the grout super easy! Great for cleaning the water line on pools with hard water and showers/bathtubs. Attach to a drill, push the button, and let the drill do the hard work! Cleaning the grout takes no time at all. Or anything. Super fast, easy, and no sore body from scrubbing! I plan on buying the different colors as well. Each color has a different use according to the stiffness of the bristles. LOVE this item for way less cleaning time!!!!" —MizzouFan

Promising review: "This is the product I didn't know I needed until I came across a video on TikTok. I’m surprised how much hair it catches, it is also pretty easy to remove and clean! Get one now! Your shower drainage will thank you." —bbymmii

Read one BuzzFeeder's TubShroom review.

It works with most vacuum cleaners and comes with a brush to help clean your dryer!

Promising review: "I clean out my dryer vent every other load and I never could get the lint that would fall below. It started to build up so I thought I’d give this attachment a try and boy was it worth it! Not only inexpensive but super easy to use. Highly recommend this product." —B.Garcia

Get it from Amazon for $11.95+ (available in three colors).

Note: It's recommended to use these tablets once a month to clean your washing machine.

Promising review: "I like the ease of use of Affresh; I like how my washer smells after I’ve used it, and if something happens where the machine ends up a little funky, I throw another one in before my monthly scheduled date to use it. I find it to be a great way to help my washer smell fresh and really clean, which gives me confidence that my clothes will be that way, too." —Marina

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, and you can buy a full-size bottle on Amazon for $12.99!

Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my car seats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. if you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions and it should be wonderful!" —Carlos

Get it from Amazon for $123.59.

It weighs about 13 pounds — heavier-duty carpet cleaners usually weigh around 20 — so you won't feel completely tired by the time you're done with the living room. Plus, it's received 45,000+ 5-star ratings and 8,000+ 5-star reviews!

Promising review: "I run dog services, boarding, and daycare out of my home. My carpet sees high traffic regularly and potty accidents on occasion. Love this Hoover! Holy moly! It picks up an INCREDIBLE amount of deeply imbedded debris, dirt, stains, and hair. The difference in how much cleaner my carpet is after using it is OUTSTANDING!! I regularly vacuum and spot clean with other carpet cleaners and couldn't fathom the filth I was actually living in after using the Hoover. It's easy to assemble and lightweight, too. You can't deny the results when cleaning out the dirty water tank. Easily the best purchase I have made for my small business! Very impressive!" —Patty DeCarlo

Get it from Amazon for $119.

Promising review: "There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can't live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32 ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We’ve got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies." —Carobnty

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $20.97 (available in other multi-packs).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather

Get it from Amazon for $8.88 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "These are awesome! The wipes are huge and tough, great for scrubbing!! I cleaned my whole house with these and they removed stains I haven't been able to get out for awhile. Also, they smell fantastic, no chemical smell whatsoever." —Suze

Get a 90-pack from Amazon for $14.58.

Promising review: "I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, everything, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought another HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out completely, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product." —Amazon Customer

Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8 (also available in 36- and 78-packs).

Promising review: "I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I’ve seen, luckily. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." —Lauren

Promising review: "When I ordered Eufy all those weeks ago, I thought I was getting a vacuum robot. Little did I know that this adorable electronic isopod would snuffle his way across the floor and right into our hearts. Twice a day, we set him loose and he diligently munches up all the dust and cat hair our tiny city apartment can produce (and it can produce a sickening amount). He beeps happily and gets right to it." —Koala koala

Get it from Amazon for $139.78 (available in two colors and styles).

Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner

Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. is a family-owned business that sells pet products, including cleaning and grooming supplies!

Promising review: "My little bundle of joy (I say that with extreme sarcasm), decided to use my sofa as her personal pee pad twice last week. I tried and tried to get the odor of urine out to no avail. But then I read the review of this spray and decided to give it a try. I followed the directions and it worked. It actually works. The smell and the stain are gone! Now, I can keep my sofa (and my dog too I guess😊). —AJ

Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

It also works great on other leather surfaces, including car seats, sneakers, and upholstery.

Promising review: "I am so glad I read the reviews here! This is an excellent product. We scored some leather chairs for a great price. The cleaner was very easy to use. It's a concentrate and you mix a small amount with water, spray on and wipe off. Easy peasy. I used this before the conditioner. The conditioner is a bit sticky at first, but you get used to it and the leather soaks it up! Beautiful result!! The chairs look and feel great!" —Julie Schneblin

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "First time using and am very happy with this. My car has a textured dash that had gotten pretty dusty from our gravel road. I didn't want to try soap water and rag as thought it would build up dirt in between the texture patterns so just rolled the putty all across the dash. Worked great. Dash looks like new. Then tackled air vents, emergency brake cover, and shifter cover. Picked up everything and is still usable. I’m sure we can get a number of cleanings out of one container." —KGB78

Get it from Amazon for $5.94.

This car vacuum comes with three different-sized attachments (brush nozzle, extendable, and flathead) for detailing, a filter brush, an extra HEPA filter, and a carry bag.

Promising review: "I'm glad to have such a great stuff in my car. Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October my husband and I went to the ocean and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" —Julia Bright

Get it from Amazon for $34.52 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This product is AMAZING! I thought I'd never have the kind of glowing stainless steel appliances that you see in the magazines and online, and this product leaves them GORGEOUS! Best of all, it is plant-based, and the satiny smooth shine seems to repel dust, grime, and fingerprints. The light lavender fragrance actually inspired me to keep cleaning, and I have also added a new glow to my door and drawer pulls, my washer and dryer, and some steel metal decorative items." —Cynthia S.

Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry.

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

Promising review: "I heard about these on TikTok. I wanted something that simply absorbs my cleaner and what's wet off the counter without streaking crap like most washcloths and sponges do. These showed up today sturdy and kinda weird. I sprayed my dirty, oily stove top with cleaner, got one of the square sponges wet, and started wiping up the counters and stove. Hot diggity dog! I love this sponge already! Cleaned up completely and didn't require multiple passes. When you use it, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Great product!" —Julie

Use this trio on a variety of smooth cooktop ranges, including ceramic, glass, halogen, and more!

Promising review: "I had tried four different cleaners before discovering this one and I wish I would have found it sooner! All of that caked-on liquid that runs out of the pans and burns into the stove top while you’re cooking?? This removes all of it. It doesn't scratch your glass-top stove top and it leaves it looking brand new. I won't ever buy another cleaner — this is it for me!" —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $14.68.

Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching." —Happy Retiree

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

Promising review: "I just did my shower. The clump of hair I pulled out was massive. There was even a small bottle of body wash in there that came up with the hair. (my cat likes to pry the drain cover off and play in there. I now keep the doors closed.) I used a second wand and brought up more hair. Easily a $75 plumber bill that I took care of for a few bucks. I truly didn't expect this to work but I am now a convert." —Karen

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney

The only surfaces it doesn't work on? Silk, leather, suede, or rubber! Oh, and it's EXCELLENT for cleaning up that sticky, gross dust that accumulates around your kitchen.

Promising review: "I bought this to help get some sticky junk left from Velcro on my motorcycle. I had tried rubbing alcohol and other tricks before using this stuff. Let me just say what a difference this stuff makes. All the sticky junk just wipes away on the first try. I didn't need to soak it or anything. No residue was left behind at all and no damage to the paint. Best $8 I ever spent!" —WiggleButtRealReviews
