A rust stain remover

If your sink or shower is starting to look orange, this powdered formula will remove those pesky rust stains from bathroom surfaces.

Promising review: "I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands-down. I just sprayed, walked away for a few minutes and wiped and rinsed." — Carrie D.Get a bottle on Amazon for $12.97.

A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner

Your carpets will be restored to their former glory, thanks to this portable gem that'll help you avoid a call to Stanley Steemer.

Promising review: "BUY IT. Don't argue with me. JUST BUY IT. It's so worth it. For this price? Stains I've had in my car for the longest time are finally gone. Stains on the couch are gone and looks good as new. It's so easy to use and put together. You have to go over spots a couple times but it's so satisfying to watch every time. This was one of my best buys 100%." — AlexisGet it from Amazon for $109.99.

Or this instant spot remover

Spritz this formula on upholstery and blot instantly to remove wine spills, mud tracks and pet pee stains.

Promising review: "I had terrible rust and oil stains all over the seats of my car. I tried other cleaners to get them out, but they actually made the stains darker. I took it to the dealership to see if they could get it out and they flat out told me no, so I gave up and lived with it for almost five years. Then I tried this after it was recommended by a friend. I sprayed it on and literally watched the stain run right off my seat. It was amazing! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace the seats in my car because nothing else would work. This stuff really is awesome!" — BrittanyGet a bottle on Amazon for $11.67.

A grout cleaning pen

Revive bathroom tiles with this pen that'll help cover gross grout stains.

Promising review: "Best product! I wish I had thought to take 'before' pictures! My house was built in the early 1960s and the bathroom grout was becoming discolored in spots. I had used every product on the market before buying this pen to see if I could brighten the grout with no luck. I could have just saved so much money if I had went with the pen in the first place! It worked throughout the shower with more product to go! Easy to clean up and lasts a while!" — KelliGet one on Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

A set of drill brushes

Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so hand scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used these to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor the glass door, everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." — TerryGet a set of three scrub brushes on Amazon for $12.70+ (available in six colors).

A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets

Limescale and mineral build-up will be history with these tiny tablets you can pop inside your dishwasher for a deep-clean.

These tablets work like magic — got rid of years of hard water deposit with one try. Truly impressed. You can bet this is going to be a monthly routine from now on." — Amazon Customer Get a six-pack from Amazon for $5.99.

A pet hair remover tool

If your fur baby is shedding a lot, this brush easily removes pet hairs from couches, pillows, blankets and more.

Promising review: "We live in a household that contains two humans, two dogs and two cats. It's a real Noah's Ark furnished with a black sectional couch. Our dogs absolutely hate the vacuum. So much so they will attack the cleaner head with their vicious bite even before we power it on. This makes the task of cleaning our couch extremely unpleasant and nearly impossible. Thanks to Chom Chom, we no longer have this problem! With a simple, quick and SOUNDLESS sweep, we're able to keep our couch pet-hair-free in blissful peace. This tool does an amazing job picking up pet hair but not so much with crumbs. We were so impressed, we gifted these as Christmas presents for all of our pet-loving friends." — Magpie Get one on Amazon for $24.95.

Promising review: "I have been using bleach to clean my machine for some time, but decided to give this a try a few months ago. My very first clean with Affresh left me surprised and delighted for not only did it clean my machine, it eliminated the nasty smell that always transferred to my clothes thanks to a build up of mold I didn't even know about. Every month now, I toss a tablet into the drum and let it work its magic. Now, my machine is cleaner than ever, and my clothes always smell wonderfully fresh." — Kelli CrawfordGet a pack of five on Amazon for $9.98.

It's really nice that it comes with some spare cloths for it, and it's cheap enough to buy a whole additional set so we can make more than one kid do this chore at the same time." — R.D.Get one on Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Photos don't lie! This stuff works! We have used just about every product available — steamed, scrubbed, scraped and power-washed our shower walls. None worked. Bought this cleaner on a whim and after the first night of spraying just one wall, I bought two more bottles. The build up just peels off the walls. At first I was embarrassed to post pictures but I had to share how well this cleaner works." — Mary ElizabethGet it from Amazon for $16.94.

A toilet ring remover

Use this small pumice stone to remove gross rings and grime inside your toilet bowl.

Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY and GREAT results. VERY HAPPY!" — Corey WestGet a 6-pack from Amazon for $9.95.

A jetted tub cleaner

Let this cleaner do the dirty work for you and clean your jets, so you can actually take a relaxing bath without seeing gross debris.

A stainless steel cleaner

Use this stainless steel cleaner to wipe away smudges from kitchen appliances without a lot of elbow grease.

Promising Review: "I live in an apartment. The sink is about 35 years old and has become badly stained and scratched from neglect and indifferent care. This has made a noticeable difference. This sink will never look brand new again, but your product removed, I would say, about 80% of the stains, without any extraordinary effort, and put a really polished look on the sink. It is gleaming and actually looks very clean for the first time since I have lived here. I am betting that with continued and consistent use of Therapy cleaner, it will continue to improve. Thank you for a most excellent product." — David BrennanGet it from Amazon for $16.95.

A robot vacuum

Just got red hair dye that had been there for over a year off the wall in a minute. Made shower glass look brand-new after five years of hard water stains. This is the cleaning magic wand you've always wanted." — MichelaGet a 10-pack from Amazon for $11.99.

A wine stain remover

It'll help remove old and new vino stains on carpets, couches and even clothes! No scrubbing or laundering required.

Promising review: "If you are thinking of buying this stuff: BUY IT! The individuals who formulated this stuff are truly geniuses. I had a wine-spillage catastrophe when my French bulldog puppy ran into my cheap coffee table and my full post-work glass of pinot noir went flying all over the only nice piece of furniture I own. After about 45 minutes of spraying and blotting, I was able to get my nice chair to be white again! Don't get me wrong, it requires some serious saturation so I would recommend buying more than one bottle. I'm so thankful I had a 3/4-full bottle on-hand. Thank you Wine Away for saving my nice chair and sanity." — Caroline SymcoxGet it from Amazon for $9.49.

An odor eliminating spray

If you despise cleaning pet accident stains, this spray will help remove them and eliminate the awful smell in your carpets.

Promising review: "Unbeknownst to us, our senior cat had been peeing on two brand-new large shag area rugs. The first one I gave up trying to clean and purchased a new one. I just realized last week she has been peeing on another shag rug. It's the worst smell ever! I can't keep purchasing new rugs until she dies. After scouring Google, I found that this product kept being mentioned as the best enzyme cleaner, which I never knew was a thing. My order arrived at 6 p.m. today and we went right to work. By 6:30 I was almost in tears, the smell was gone! I can't believe how good it smells and I am so thankful for this product!" — J. A. MerryweatherGet it from Amazon for $19.94.

Tidy your car with this portable vacuum that plugs right into your vehicle's outlet and sucks up debris from all the nooks and crannies you can't reach.

Promising review: "I own three dogs and it is just a nightmare pulling out my extension cord to vacuum my truck. I can now just plug this little guy into my 12-volt car outlet and I'm good to go! The power in this vacuum is as good as it's going to get for a car vacuum so if you want extreme suction — buy a shop vac. Also the attachments are fantastic." — SallyGet it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two colors).

A box of sink disposal cleaner

Watch this volcano-like formula scrub away gross gunk from your kitchen garbage disposer when it's in need of a deep clean.

Promising review: "This is an essential for anyone with a disposal. Like seriously! A lot of funky gunk collects in there, that you can't even see. It's also dark and moist for icky stuff to grow. You HAVE to keep it clean. And THIS is super easy to clean it out! And you will be amazed how much better the smell will be (that I am sure you don't even notice until it's clean!). It's also pretty cool looking when you do it! BLUE FOAMMMMM!" — J. CrumleyGet it from Amazon for $5.99.
