The high-density sponges are squishy on the inside with an emery layer on the outside. They can be cut into smaller chunks for cleaning nooks and crannies.
Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day I thought, maybe i'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! Faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder
Price: $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses)
Promising review: "I used their for my rings and nasty metal band from my Apple Watch and it did the trick. I added the fluid they recommended for use with the cleaner since my band was disgusting. The dirt in the bottom after using it was amazing and the band looks 90% better. My rings weren’t as bad, so didn’t use the fluid and they looked great!" —Elaine
Price: $25.59

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
Price: $15.98 (also available as a pack of two)

Promising review: "Our coffee can start to taste funky after several uses. We run this through once, then two times with just water. Works great and coffee goes back to tasting like normal! It clears out any buildup that can affect the taste of your coffee. It is super easy and just as quick as making a cup of coffee." —Maine Customer
Price: $9.95 (also available in packs of 12 and 18)

Promising review: "I’ve been looking for an alternative to disposable Swiffer pads, and these reusable microfiber pads have worked really well. They fit my Swiffer-style mop easily and picked up dust, crumbs, and dirt throughout my kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. What impressed me most was how much dirt one pad collected.
After cleaning, I simply removed the pad, shook the debris into the trash, rinsed it off, and it looked ready to use again. The material feels durable, and the pads attach securely while cleaning.
If you’re looking to save money on disposable refills and want a washable option, these are definitely worth trying." —Barbara Berrios 28 UGC
Price: $7.99+ (available in four colors, and packs in four, six, and eight)
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing! It makes cleaning so much easier and takes way less time! I used to hate cleaning my baseboards, but this product has made cleaning them so easy that I actually don’t mind doing it anymore! It is also great for blinds as well! Definitely worth it!" —Julia
"I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYTHING in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer
Price: $9.99+ (available in six color packs)

Check out a TikTok of the SneakErasers in action at 22 seconds in.
Promising review: "I have a couple of pairs of sneakers I stopped wearing because they started looking a bit grungy. Just couldn't justify throwing them away, though, because they were still in great shape and not very old. I came across these sponges and took a chance. They work like a charm. I cleaned two pairs of shoes and could not believe the results! Awesome." —Spencer
Price: $11.99 (also available in a pack of 20)
Promising review: "Works perfectly and protects my shoes! These laundry shoe bags are great — strong material, sturdy zipper, and they really keep my sneakers safe in the washer and dryer. My shoes came out clean with no damage, and the self-locking zipper stayed closed the whole time. Super handy and reusable!" —Shay Patel
Price: $19.99+ (available in three colors)
Promising review: "This thing is beyond amazing. It picks up cat hair better than anything I’ve ever seen! It truly lives up to its name. I have used it every day and am SHOCKED at how much fur is still coming out of my carpets, rugs, and all other surfaces around the house. I love that I don’t have to bend down to use this." —Kittymama
Price: $49.99

One end has a squeegee, so after you scrub down the shower glass with the sponge, you can flip it over to wipe away any streakiness.
You only need to buy the handle once, and you can use any Magic Erasers for refills, as long as they have the wavy edges. Get eight refills in a lavender scent or twelve unscented extra durable for $12.94+.
Promising reviews: "I love this thing! The handle makes it so much easier to wash the walls in my shower. No more grinding my knuckles against the shower wall as I'm cleaning it. Just a handle and an easy glide. They are thick and sturdy, and the normal size of a Magic Eraser. I was hoping they would be thicker, but I'm okay with it. I'm definitely a fan and will buy it again!" —Dawne
Price: $12.94 (available in two sizes)
Promising review: "This is the BEST screen and mesh patio chair cleaner! It makes it so much easier and faster than using rags. I found it works best to start at the bottom and bring it upwards so the handle doesn’t come out. I just used Dawn and hot/warm water in a bucket. My screens have never been so clean…I’m afraid I’ll walk right through them!" —mb1999
Price: $18.99
It *also* comes with tools for stairs, upholstery, and tight corners.
Promising review: "My Hoover pet carpet cleaner from 2008 finally quit this years after being the best thing since sliced bread. I was really not looking forward to trying to replace it as in my opinion it seems like things are made so poorly these days. I found this cleaner and gave it a try. Let me tell you, I’m loving this even more that the one it replaced. The divided solution tank is so awesome and lasts!! The carpet comes out looking new and smell so great!! It was easy to put together and is easy to use!! Both my boyfriend and I have gone on and on about how it’s one of the best purchases we’ve made. We also got lucky finding it when it was an Amazon deal of the day, we feel like we’ve already got out money out of it." —Melissa M Hughes
Price: $169.99+ (available in two sizes and styles)
Promising review: "After looking at several products to remove oil stains from driveways, I decided to go with this 'Chomp Pull It Out' stuff. I was amazed and quite impressed with the results. You can see the spot area I tested the product on in the first photo. Then I applied the product to the rest of the stain and left it overnight. Swept it away the next day and then washed the surface and let dry. I did need to apply a second treatment to a few areas that were not completely cleaned, especially in between some of the pavers but, after that, the whole stain was magically gone. Looks like new! If you know the general size of pavers, you can tell this was a pretty good-sized stain. One bottle was enough to do this entire spot, with the second treatment, and I still have some left for a few small spots elsewhere on the driveway. Overall, an excellent product!" —Eric
Price: $17.97+ (available in two sizes and packs of two)
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
Price: $17.77+ (available in three sizes)
Amazon
Promising review: "Mom Approved! Obsessed. Apparently, I wasn’t living my best life until I found these sponges. Let’s talk about how these magical foam creations totally transformed my kitchen. The Scrub Daddy is tough enough to scrub off all the grime I’ve been avoiding, but somehow, it doesn’t scratch anything — what kind of sorcery is this? And then there's Scrub Mommy, which is basically the Sponge of the Gods, offering the perfect combo of soft and scrubby. These things are stain and odor-resistant, which is a blessing, because that smell a gross, smelly sponge leaves on your hands, blech — no thank you! At the end of the day, I don’t know how I was living without these. The eight-pack is like buying into a whole new lifestyle where my dishes are spotless, and I have zero excuses for leaving dirty ones around. Bonus — the sponge caddy that sticks to the wall of the sink, leaving my sponge smiling at me from across the room." —ElleDub

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
Price: $9.95+(available in two sizes and multipacks)
Check out our write-up of the awesome CarGuys Super Cleaner!
Promising review: "I have used every product that you can find on the shelves of your local store. When I sprayed the cleaner on the light beige interior of a 25-plus-year-old car, the interior turned to its original color. After years of detailing, I had assumed at this point, the color was set and that's it — not with this stuff. While cleaning it I literally said out loud, 'No way, no way,' because I was in disbelief at how amazing it worked, and the results are in the compliments I receive from friends." —Andrea
Price: $19.99
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 others have a weird smell that 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.
Price: $23.99+ (available in two sizes and three scents)
Price: $14.95+ (available in multipacks)
Promising review: "Amazing wipes! I use these on our outdoor cushions because the birds poop all over them. They work so well! They wipe away everything and leave no stains. They're thick and long lasting. I re-ordered two more containers." —DT
Price: $12.75 (also available as a pack of two)
Promising review: "This is Dawn, but about 50 times stronger! I used to dread cleaning pots and pans, but Dawn Platinum Powerwash makes that chore a lot quicker and gets the pots and pans cleaner. Note: You get the original spray bottle plus three refills, so when you run out of the product in the bottle, it’s no problem. I would highly recommend this cleaning powerhouse! I don’t think there is anything else on the market even close to what this does." —Phoenix Tyler
Price: $11.48 (available in two sizes, three scents, and multipacks)

Promising review: "Moved into a new rental with a washer and dryer, and the washer door had some mildew on the seals. This worked like magic. Will def add to cleaning routine. Strong and easy to use. Gel stays where you add it." —Amanda Rodriguez
Price: $9.99+ (available in four sizes)
Promising review: "Based on research and reviews, I decided to try this product. I didn’t know that tanks needed to be cleaned every 6–12 months! I ordered two bottles and cleaned the first toilet the other night. I used gloves as the bottle states you should not touch or have contact with the powder. I used a long wooden skewer to mix the powder in the existing water within the tank. I had a gallon of water, which I used to top off the water level with, as well, for maximum cleaning. I opened the window a bit just to make sure the bathroom could air out, too. I didn’t notice any fumes. The next morning, I flushed the toilet and lo and behold — a clean tank! I had to flush and hold the handle down a few times to get some of the floating debris away. Excellent product, easy to use. Definitely recommend for ongoing maintenance and cleaning! It was easy, no fuss with great results." —KAdventurer
Price: $5.86
Promising review: "Amazing tool. I'm using this brush to clean out my dryer vent, and it works really well. It reached deep inside and pulled out a lot more lint than I expected. The brush is flexible, easy to use, and helped clean spots I couldn't reach by hand." —DEVON
Price: $5.88+ (available in two sizes and different multipacks)
Promising review: "This product works like absolute magic — I am genuinely blown away by the results!
"I had been noticing a musty, unpleasant odor coming from my dishwasher for a while and could see limescale buildup and mineral deposits around the door and spray arms. I had tried wiping it down and running hot cycles, but nothing really worked. Then I tried Affresh, and the difference after just one cycle was remarkable."The tablet dissolves completely during the wash cycle, foaming up and getting into all the hard-to-reach areas, crevices, and the drain. After the cycle finished, I opened the dishwasher and was immediately hit with a clean, fresh smell — the odor was completely gone. The interior walls, door seal, and spray arms looked noticeably cleaner, and the limescale deposits had visibly reduced."What I love most is how effortless it is. No scrubbing, no disassembling parts, no harsh chemicals to handle. Just drop the tablet in the bottom of the empty dishwasher, run a normal cycle, and you are done. It genuinely does all the work for you."I now run one Affresh tablet once a month as part of my regular kitchen maintenance routine, and my dishwasher has never smelled or performed better. My dishes even come out cleaner and more spot-free since the spray arms and interior are now clear of buildup."If you have been ignoring your dishwasher's cleanliness, do yourself a favor and try this. It truly works like magic — highly recommend!" —Kailash
Price: $7.99 (also available in larger multipacks)
Skoy is a small business that specializes in household cleaning products.
Promising review: "At 67, I can say I’ve tried all kinds of different scrubbers, and these are definitely the best. These actually work better than Magic Erasers. They don’t hold food like the common ones at the market. They haven’t held any stains so far; they just rinse off and are eco-friendly, but last forever. I’m still on my first one after eight months, and it looks like new. I’ve put it in the washer but not the dryer since they dry fast — and by the way, they don’t stink. This is my second order because I’m bringing a couple to my second home, and I’m going to include one in my camping gear as well. I’m definitely impressed." —SoCal Toyotas
Price: $4.99+ (available in two color combos and multipacks)
Promising review: "I bought this vacuum because it was in my price range, and honestly, with two kids and four dogs, I could use just the help. I didn't expect miracles, tbh; I was just hoping to cut down on my 'manual' vacuuming time. So far, I have set it up and the app, set it to explore, then vacuum as scheduled. I actually do NOT need to vacuum at all this first day. It got everything. The amount of time I have saved is worth every penny. Since this machine is helping me, I can do dishes, take out laundry, or literally just sit and watch Netflix. I absolutely love it. I hope the durability holds up, because this is a game changer for me. My house is 2,000 square feet with 900 square feet of vacuumable space. (Minus couches and beds and appliances, and two closed-off rooms.) It will finish cleaning my house in a single charge and do it in one hour, give or take. After it's done, it has 25% charge and returns to base (second time). And stays docked to charge. I have not emptied the base, so I cannot comment on how easy this is, but so far, so good!" —Kara A.
Price: $297.99 (originally $599; available in four colors)

Promising review: "I have less of a family, and more of a circus. There's six of us, including the dog. Three children under the age of six. And more grubby hands/fingers than I'd like to think about. I needed an all-in-one, and, boy, have I found it! Aaaand it's easily half the price of the leading brand! Especially with twins (everything baby-related gets purchased twice), we need every penny stretched! It just so happens that we don't have to sacrifice quality, and I really appreciate that." —Mrs. Hawkins
Price: $14.95 (also available as a pack of 100

Promising review: "I love Lysol wipes! Especially during the colder months when we seem to bring germs home with us! They clean great while killing all the germs. Loved the different smells in this pack!!!" —Cameron
Price: $13.47
Promising review: "This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $19.19+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks)

A few things! It's recommended to use this when it's cool outside (but above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Don't use this if the forecast is predicting rain within 4–5 hours of using. And unlike its shower-friendly counterpart, you should NOT rinse this. Seriously. Just spray, and that's it!
Promising review: "I have a brick patio. When I bought this house, it was covered, and I mean covered with moss. A good power wash each spring was never enough to stop the moss from returning, and month after month during the summers was a struggle, man vs plant. I did that for two years, cursing and complaining the whole time. This April, I did my spring power wash as usual and immediately treated this patio. It is now going into August, and I have not had even a wisp of moss this year — I mean nothing! I would recommend this product without any reservations. When you put it on you may think to yourself that it doesn't look like you really did much. It dries quick and looks the same as it did before, but wow, does it do exactly what it says it will do." —PM in NH
Price: $20.64
Amazon
Promising review: "So handy! This is the perfect trash bag, it's just the right size, the handle slips over the gearshift and hangs to the passenger side so it's not in the way. The material is sturdy and it holds a lot. Easy to dump and rehang! Looks neat in my black car, almost unnoticeable, which is perfect for a trash bag! lol Would definitely recommend, I have one in each car!" —V. K. Bareford

Here's why former Shopping editor Heather Braga loves it:
"After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning."
Promising review: "I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with the use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazingly so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet, so we’ll see how that goes. Overall, very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa
Price: $5.97+ (available in three sizes and multipacks)

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. This stuff is the best I have tried. I follow a girl on TikTok that recommended it and she has been right 100% on her Amazon recommendations. She nailed it again. You will love this stuff." —Amazonwoman
Price: $19.95+ (also available in packs of two or three)
Promising review: "Make your toilet cute and fresh smelling. I love the smells! Really does a great job keeping my toilet clean and makes my bathroom smell fresh! It's also fun to place several flowers to help with boys 'aim.' Lol lasts a solid two or three weeks, depending on how many flowers are placed. The price of this was relatively low for the amount you get! Can easily come off with cleaner if needed." —Kayti

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "I call this my 'lazy duster' because it makes it easy to just walk around and dust those pesky baseboards. It's easy to change the pads and wash them. Get this if you want to be a lazy duster, too." —Kindle Customer
Price: $24.99
Promising review: "This oven cleaner works very well and removes grease and burned-on food with minimal scrubbing. I like that it is fume free, easy to apply, and the pro-size can lasts a long time. Great product for deep cleaning." —Lylacscc

Promising review: "The windows are noticeably squeaky clean and clear, and no scrubbing is required after only needing about 20 minutes to dry on a sunny day. I also used this to clean two outdoor glass dining tables, which are now ready for lunches and early dinners outside in the summer. Great product, definitely recommend and will be buying again!" —Helen Simmons
