36 Products That'll Make Your Home Feel 5-Star-Hotel Clean
Promising review: "So I brought this originally for my son, who gets really bad allergies to dust. At first, we didn't know what was causing this until someone told me to check our beds and furniture. Even though we change our bedsheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try, and they were right! I couldn't believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone's bed and our sofa, which was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while, which means this product works for my family!" —Lisa

The set comes with a 2-inch flat brush, a 4-inch flat brush, and a round brush. The drill isn't included, but you can grab a basic Black and Decker one ($29 on Amazon) that'll do the trick.
Promising review: "I thought my hard water stains would never come off my shower doors, but I bought this awesome brush set, and it's amazing! I’ve tried all the hacks — drier sheets, clean erasers, lemon, vinegar — nothing works like this brush! I used Zep shower cleaner with it! In the picture, the side on the right is the part of the door I cleaned, and I still have to clean the left side." —Traci D.

Promising review: "I mean really, Joymoop? Just the name made me think this can't be a serious cleaning tool. Then, it did something amazing. I have ceilings in my 75-year-old home that are plaster. Over the years, they have become grungy-looking. OK, they were filthy. I dreaded the thought of cleaning them. I bought this setup, and WOW. I filled up the chamber, added a small amount of Murphy's Oil Soap, and started to tackle a ceiling. First of all, no ladders. I can stand on the floor and work. NO DRIPS. NONE. Didn't have to cover my wood floors, nor my furniture. This thing literally SUCKED the dirt out of my ceiling. Within about two hours, I had finished a 24-foot ceiling. My wife is happy. I'm happy. I'm going to do all the ceilings in my house. It's amazing. Buy it. You'll thank me." —KStearns

Check out our full review of the pet hair broom for more deets.
Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT, GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —Janielle

Broombi is a small business that specializes in household cleaning and pet hair-removing products.
Promising review: "Absolutely love this broom! It does everything it states and shows. Excellent on carpets and spilled messes on the floor. Love how I get more dust and dirt off the floors. Also love that it can be made longer with just a quick twist. Durable and stable, and the appearance is much better than a tattered brush at the bottom of most brooms! Getting into the corners is so much easier, too. Excellent broom!" —Sandra Moyer

Promising review: "The sponges are great! They pick up all the pesky tidbits that a towel leaves behind when wiping a surface. They're great for dusting all types of surfaces, cleaning baseboards, etc. I use them to help clean the cages of my pets! The sponges are easy to clean after use and easy to store since they completely dry down. The sponges are also easy to rehydrate and become just as flexible as the first use. The sponges are a great value and great use. Side note: I love that they come in different colors. I assigned each color a different cleaning task essentially (I.e., bathroom, animals, etc.)." —Tricia

This is for stand-alone ice makers, not ones built into the fridge.
Promising review: "These are magic tablets! My ice maker has never been so clean. Got rid of all the orange limescale stuff. Then, I decided to use it on my humidifier. It was completely orange in the bottom and now that is totally gone. I will definitely buy again." —Natalie

Promising review: "This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work, so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber, and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors, once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderfully clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." —Vicky Faurot

Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The multiple brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat

This is safe to use on glass, plastic, carpets, fabrics, and hard surfaces.
BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Yi Yang has this to say:
"Goo Gone is one of those things that I somehow had never heard of until this year (though others have apparently had it in their households for years). When I saw it in this BuzzFeed post, my life was changed forever. I couldn’t believe I had lived for so many years without this stuff. So many presents were ruined by price stickers that wouldn’t peel off properly and so many reusable glass containers thrown away/recycled because I couldn’t get the sticky label off of them.
When I got my hands on a bottle, I immediately put it to test. A couple of days ago, I bought a really cool glass milk saucer from the MoMA store, but the product label left an ugly and sticky residue on it (why do shops allow stickers like this?!). I applied the Goo Gone, washed with soap and water, and voilà — the adhesive came right off, leaving my saucer crystal clear. Then, I cleaned off an old soy sauce container and turned it into a flower vase. And it can do so much more than just removing price stickers; the product description says it’ll work on candle wax, permanent marker, crayon, glue, gum, tape residue, adhesive, paint, tree sap, tar, etc. It’s also surface-safe and can be used on carpet and upholstery, clothing, and any hard surfaces — including glass, laminate, metal, wood, plastic, vinyl, windows, ceramic, granite, flooring, countertops, tile, and wood. And bonus: It smells nice and citrusy!
Since purchasing Goo Gone, I’ve cleaned off several candle tins, a Trader Joe's growler, and a kimchi jar previously marred by sticky labels — they can now be reused as pen holders and food containers! In fact, now I'm constantly looking around my apartment to see what I can Goo Gone (yes, I'm using it as a verb) and reuse. Definitely one of my best household purchases EVER."

These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, ANYTHING.
Promising reviews: "I wasn't expecting much from these, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I work on cars a lot, and I don't like wearing latex gloves like so many others do. As a result, my hands get DIRTY. I usually use the orange stuff, but I got tired of the grit and having to wipe it off with paper towels (I don't have a sink within easy reach). So I thought I would try out these cleaning towels. I have to say, I'm impressed! They don't have any 'grit' on them per se, but they are just rough enough that they easily scrape off whatever grease I have on my hands. I'm sold on these." —thatguy
"Perfect for cleaning artists' hands or quickly removing paint from clothes. I mainly use for cleaning up oil paint that has not yet dried. This was recommended by a master artist friend. It gently and quickly removes all paint from my hands and even my clothes while I'm painting." —Dot the artist

After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring.

The pads have looped, liquid-wicking fibers that pick up dirt, hair, and wet messes.
Promising review: "The only review you need to read! So I debated HARD about buying these, and now I'm sad I didn't buy the four-pack. I got the two-pack because I wasn't sure these would work on my Swiffer WetJet. HUNNY THESE BAD BOYS ARE THE EFFING BEST THING ON AMAZON! Buy them. Buy them right now. I literally JUST used these to Swiffer my bedroom and bathroom. These stuck to my swiffer so well that I had to nearly pry them off once I was done. They are so absorbent. I swear those disposable pads will never be bought ever again. I am ordering more of these pads. They even came with a lovely handwritten note from the lady who owns the company. Honestly I have no idea why I waited so long. This was the best Swiffering ever. My floors seriously look cleaner. 20 stars." —ElleSoFresh

Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.

Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal,l and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

Promising review: "My 15-year-old leather sectional hadn't been cleaned or conditioned in three to four years because I couldn't find anything that worked well without causing it to look blotchy. The color was also fading, and I thought it was a goner. After some elbow grease, the sectional looks great! It's now back to its original color without being blotchy. More importantly, the suppleness has returned. I can actually say that it looks as good as the day we bought it." —jellybean55

Promising reviews: "I love the way it just sucks up the dog hair, crumbs, etc. The auto mode is great, but I had to place mine under a table because every time the dog walked by it would go off and scare the heck out of her. I think it’s a great product and value." —Deb
"I bought this to keep next to my toddler’s high chair because I was sick and tired of bending over to clean up all her insane amounts of food and debris that she drops on the floor with every meal. This thing works so great! All I do is sweep it all in, and it sucks everything right up. It sucks up tiny little crumbs and really big chunks of wet food like macaroni alike. It has made my life so much easier,r and my floor is so much cleaner. So easy to use!" —Patti

It comes with four pieces: an adjustable handle, a regular short handle, a fluffy duster good for brushing stuff down from high places, and a bendable chenille and microfiber duster that grabs and holds onto dust and dirt.
Promising review: "Perfect for my needs. Love the telescoping design and that it has no protruding joints that would prevent it from fitting underneath furniture with low clearance. Reaches under, behind and around all the tight spaces I can't get to without moving heavy furniture around. The duster is also very lightweight and can handle delicate situations." —Sjay

Oh Yuk is a family-owned and operated company based in Minnesota.
Promising review: "We moved out of state into an older home. Unsure about the cleanliness of the jetted tub, we used this product for the first time because of its customer rating. We ran it for 15 minutes in hot water, rinsing and cleaning out the tub afterwards. I was shocked at how much crud and disgusting filth was kicked out of the jets during the process; however, I am relieved to know the tub is now clean on the inside and out, not just appearing clean on the outside." —Painter

I've used these and can confirm they work super fast!
Promising review: "It is very uncommon for me to write a review, but this product is amazing. My family's silverware had not been polished in the 15 years since I married my husband. The only time I ever polished anything before,e it was messy and smelly and took forever. Therefore, I didn't have any interest in polishing something that we weren't using. I decided to try these wipes because the price was reasonable. They are easy to use and do a wonderful job! The silverware looks silver! I used four wipes to polish a service of eight, and it took me about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this product!" —Kehrli

The formula prevents backups, overflows, and bad smells from escaping your septic tank by breaking down organic material and microorganisms.
Promising reviews: "Before you splurge on a plumber or septic company, you HAVE TO TRY THESE. We bought our home in November, and in March, our toilets started 'gurgling' and losing water when the washing machine would drain. Over the next few weeks, they gurgled more and more — when the dishwasher drained or we took a shower. I did a lot of research and none of the potential problems were going to be cheap to fix. Everything I read required having professionals come diagnose and repair our plumbing issue. I bought these and prayed for the best. I was SHOCKED. After one month, the toilets hardly made any more gurgling noises or lost water. After using these for three months now, the problem has 100% disappeared. I can't imagine the $ we saved by simply adding enzymes to our septic tank! :) Added bonus: Our 8-year-old enjoys flushing the packet down the toilet each month, LOL." —Jamie Smith
"I bought these to keep the system clear, and so far, it's a good product; I also dropped one in the shower, and it cleared the drain in 10 minutes. It works." —Rolphie A.

Promising reviews: "Sorry to yell, but I'm so excited to finally find an enzyme cleaner that works, and FAST! I had tried other enzyme cleaners on my cat's accidents with mixed results. Most didn't work or took a very long time to do anything. Thankfully, I finally decided to try something new. The improvement was immediate. As for the scent, I don't mind it — it's certainly better than the smell of pet urine or vomit! Don't hesitate to buy this!" —Alyvee

The six-piece set includes Cooktop Cleaner, POW-R Grip pad tool, scraper, and three cleaning pads.
Promising review: "Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years — only wiped down with random multi-cleaners that never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product...AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said, it will leave your cooktop shiny and new. Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off...98% better. The key is to use very little product; let dry to a haze; and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel (just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish, it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." —B. Swartwood

The pH-neutral formula is made with coconut oil and works on appliances, grills, sinks, refrigerators, microwaves, stoves, range hoods, trash cans, and more. You'll also get a large microfiber cloth with the bottle.
Former BuzzFeed writer Brittany Ross says, "I don't know what kind of fairy dust this plant-based spray is hiding inside, but it made my mucked-up fridge sparkle within a MINUTE! I was skeptical when I first sprayed it onto my fridge because it took a second for the streaks to start fading, but lo and behold, there was *zero* residue left behind after a super brief wipe sesh. Once I saw how downright dazzling my fridge looked, I decided to put it to the ~real~ test — my filthy dishwasher. Again, a minute of buffing with a microfiber towel was enough to make it look like a brand-new appliance, and it worked wonders on the greasy stainless steel edges of my oven, too."
Promising review: "This is a miracle worker on stainless. I have tried everything to get my stainless to shine like it should, even the home remedies, which do NOT work — sorry but they don't.
