    37 Cleaning Products You'll Be Probably Be Glad You Bought Every Time You Use Them

    You'll wanna kiss your cleaning brush that attaches to your hand drill, but I don't recommend it.

    1. Bottle-cleaning tablets to rejuvenate the inside of your travel mug that currently looks like it's caked in mud thanks to your beloved coffee. Pop in a tablet, do something other stuff, then come back later to a pristine thermos!

    2. A reusable weighted bottle cleaner for getting into all the parts of your sports and water bottles that you can't access with a sponge and your mere human hands. Those clumps of protein powder? No problem.

    3. Stain-lifting pads made to tackle icky pet stains. You merely put one over a stain, stomp on it to activate, then let sit to work its magic. You're welcome.

    4. Foaming garbage disposer tablets so your biggest kitchen helper can keep running on 100 instead of ruining your day.

    5. A TubShroom that people (including this writer) are obsessed with and will steal your heart after snaking your drain becomes a thing of the past!

    6. A silicone sink strainer for easily ridding it of tiny food particles so you aren't awkwardly standing over your trash can raking them out of your OG metal strainer. I have one and adore it.

    7. Washing machine-cleaning tablets because we know you're not going to get down on your hands and knees and actually clean out the drum yourself. And why would you with these resources?!

    8. And dishwasher-cleaning tablets to get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes — all while you're in the work mental zone. Now that's some productivity!

    9. Plus a hard-water booster for your dishwasher that'll finally get your Pyrex bowls that you thought were donezo looking normal again. You and I both know those bowls are the best, despite your home's hard water.

    10. A phone soap sanitizer (and charger!) to place on your beside table so you can dock your fave gadget for the afternoon while you get some work done. No more attacking that tiny computer with a wet wipe.

    11. A dishwashing spray for anyone without a dishwasher (or even with one!) who wishes they could just close their eyes and have someone scrub at baked-on gunk. Ok, this won't scrub for you but'll make it to where you just have to SWIPE off the gunk and rinse instead!

    12. A red wine stain remover to keep on hand because, well, accidents happen! But you can be prepared for (at least some of) them!

    13. An affordable hand vac as man's *other* best friend for cleaning up kitty litter spills, hairy upholstery, and all other manners of animalistic messes.

    14. A legit stain remover — it may make you feel like Rocky on those steps after you successfully get blood and grass stains out of your kid's soccer jersey.

    15. A drill brush cleaning kit you can attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh at the flip of a switch that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring.

    16. A steaming microwave cleaner for harnessing the power of an inanimate object's anger to loosen up crud and dirt inside your microwave for wipeable messes.

    17. Bar Keepers Friend powdered cleanser to spiff up just about anything you have around your house like car head lights, pots and pans, porcelain sinks, stove tops.... Really, the limit does not exist.

    18. Resolve pet stain remover so you can erase the house training stain from that designer rug you nabbed on sale. (It's great for human messes too!)

    19. A makeup brush cleanser because you and I both know you're not washing your beauty tools as frequently as you should. (Same.) Turns out, they aren't prime for a replacement, they just need a thorough wash.

    20. Toilet cleaners with goose necks for minimal-effort reaching and serious bowl-whitening power because your loved ones DO notice when your toilet is filthy.

    21. And some vegan disinfectant toilet bowl tablets in case you have your standard toilet stains but hate the scrubbing.

    22. A minimalist cleaning checklist so you don't forget to clean toothpaste off the bathroom mirrors again.

    23. Non-stick oven liners to clean up spills without *actually* having to clean your oven. Your smoke detector is going to get bored.

    24. And a fume-free oven cleaner to revive an oven that you thought was too far gone. Sometimes you can't replace an oven because you're renting! (Or, bc budget!) Clean it with this and then use that oven!!

    25. A special brush to keep your dryer's lint trap clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. If your stuff is coming out wet, you may need one of these. It's so much cheaper than a pro repair!!

    26. A millipede-like hair remover with more than 4k hooks and loops to ensnare all that hair down there and save ya' a drain replacement or costly visit from the plumber.

    27. A commercial-grade cleaner for getting at soap scum and grime on notoriously hard-to-clean shower doors. Just don't accidentally walk into your like-new shower doors bc they're *that* clean. Blooper reels are way less fun IRL.

    28. An all-purpose cleaner concentrate that'll majorly save you on shelf space but also ensure you'll have all kinds of backups for cleaning. Also it just *looks* nice in case you need to leave it out in open storage.

    three bottles of the cleaner concentrate

    29. A cleaning pen that'll *gently* revive the look of your jewels that you DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE have grown cloudy over time. Don't worry, it's made with micro-fine cleansers, polishing agents, and a polymer for a pro-level shine at the price of your morning coffee order.

    30. A nine-pack of nonscratch Scotch-Brite sponges – they'll make serious work on your nonstick pans with coating you don't wanna compromise. Stuck-on messes, be gone!

    31. A rubber squeegee broom (with a telescoping pole) to get DEEP down into the pile of your carpet to unearth pet fur. TBH, this sounds like work but once you get a couple of passes in and it starts to unearth all the fluff you're going to go IN on it for some super satisfying results like this.

    32. AND a scratchy lil' tool that'll FINALLY get all the pet hair off your fabric surfaces both inside your house and car. You'll wonder how you lived without up until now.

    33. A can of color-changing Kaboom! Foam-tastic that'll feel like a magic trick and leave behind a light citrusy scent. Maybe this is how kids get fully on board with cleaning the bathroom without dragging their feet?

    34. A mold and mildew removal gel to make you feel like you're in possession of a time turner once you simply apply, let set for six hours, then wipe away.

    35. A bottle of nice-smelling disinfectant spray to just maybe convince everyone you share a bathroom with to clean up a bit after themselves.

    four bottles of spray

    36. Cleaning goo you can use to detail stuff like vents, keyboards, remotes, the tiny works!

    37. A car trash can you can use to help tidy up your car as you go instead of having to haul out the trash in armfuls every few months.
