Promising review: "So far this robot vacuum has been outstanding! My daughter has a cat and a small dog. The vacuum has picked up all the pet hair off the wood floors. Her house has kept looking great. Really saved her from getting out a bulky vacuum. Anker products have been long-lasting for me. It appears to be performing better than the iRobot I got 3–4 years ago. This product has my vote." —Angela 

Promising review: "I found mold on the ceiling of a hallway nook where air does not circulate well. I tried a few home remedies, but it kept coming back until I bought this stuff. It has not come back. Now I have to find a good stain remover." —Wendy

Price: $8.97 (also available in a two-pack)

Promising review: "Scrub Daddy Damp Duster is basically the low-effort cleaning hack you didn't know you needed. You just dampen it slightly, and suddenly it's grabbing dust like it has a personal vendetta. No clouds of particles flying into the air, no chasing fuzz around the room — it actually traps the stuff. It's oddly satisfying to use, weirdly effective on blinds and baseboards, and makes you feel productive in under five minutes. Cleaning…but make it efficient." —anonymous

Promising reviews: "I moved into my current home a few months ago. Recently, I’ve noticed trouble with my shower drain, so I bought this tool. I was horrified at the two huge balls of hair this tool took out. I always had success with a tool like this in my previous home, but it was my own (short) hair. I have no idea how long that mess was there, but I’ll wager the old owners never cleaned it. I was so grateful to have it." —Chellaux

"Saved my sanity with a slow-draining bathroom sink that liquid products couldn't clear. Grabbed hair and accumulated gunk quickly and easily. Would recommend to anyone thinking of calling a plumber. These strips really do work. I was not paid for this review." —Cecilia

Promising reviews: "I’ve already used it, and it does exactly as it says. I’ve used it to pull up animal fur from furniture and carpet and could not believe how much it pulled up. Much deeper clean than a vacuum cleaner alone." —WalmartCustomer

"I use this little broom in my bedroom near my makeup and hair vanity to rake up hair, and wow, it really does a wonderful job! It's lightweight and easy to use. I use it like I'm raking leaves. It glides over my carpets and picks up loose hair or lint. I'm very happy with this purchase!" —Aimee

Promising review: "I fell in love with this product! I have hardwood floors, and they are pretty worn and old and needed a touch-up of something. I tried this one time, and I love the appearance of my floor. It makes a nice shine and looks really great! I highly recommend this product." —Carol

Promising review: "This air purifier seems to work really well. The filters show the dust, etc., it captures, and the filters themselves are easy to replace. The sound it makes is soothing, not annoying. The three different levels allow you to control that. I would recommend this product." —Joanna

Price: $84.99+ (also available in white)

Promising review: "Everyone knows Windex does a great job for cleaning windows, surfaces, etc. as it's been around a long time. The name sells itself, is popular. I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom floor with it too." —Walmart customer

While the pads are made with an adhesive for easy peel-and-stick application, you might consider installing the filters with Command strips to help avoid damage, especially if you're a renter.

Promising review: "We have a Westinghouse front loader that we have had for several years. There were mold stains on the rubber strip around the front door that I have tried many products on without success. The first tablet removed them. You use it once a month. Outstanding product." —Daiuy

Price: $11.26+ (available in four quantities)

Promising review: "My dog had the liquid poops in the middle of the night and did it on BRAND-NEW carpet, right in the middle of the living room. This machine really made it look and smell like nothing ever happened. I sprinkled baking soda on the mess while I waited for the machine to be delivered. I used Folex and water in the tank first, which did the job perfectly. I went back over it with the sample soap they included, just to make it smell nice, instead of neutral. You couldn't even tell the carpet was damp immediately after the cleaning." —anonymous

Price: $87.94 (originally $123.59; also available in two bundles with different cleaning solutions)

Promising review: "The Shark S8200 works great at cleaning my shiny white tile floors. It is much better than the manual spin mop and bucket because it leaves the floor nearly dry and requires far less effort. The machine does all the work. I had to buy extra pads if I clean over ~200 sq. ft. Otherwise, if the pads get too soiled, it will leave light streaks behind." —Christopher

Promising review: "Great on oven grease grates. Also works well on cooking vent grates. The trick is to let the product work for you. Leave the spray on for at least 30–60 minutes to get really dirty spots soft enough to scrub off. No smell. I really like this product." —Savy

Promising review: "I clean everything with this little miracle in a bottle. I had some burn marks on my ceramic cooktop that had been there for years. I applied the Pink Stuff and let it sit for 10 minutes. It wiped right off and took the burn marks with it. Family members commented on how great my stove looked! Highly recommend!" —Tammy 

Promising review: "I love the convenience of these wipes. Stainless-steel cleaners used to just be sprays, which made a mess. These are just wet enough so there's no dripping down to the floor. No fumes, and they smell amazing! So quick and easy to use. I love this product. The wipes are long-lasting and don't leave streaks. I'll definitely buy these again." —Lorelei

Price: $4.68+ (available individually or in a two-pack)

Promising review: "Squeaky clean. Lemony fresh. Love this little dishwashing cleaning pod. Not badly priced either. You can clearly see food come up when it foams, and it does take away odors coming from the garbage disposal. I do this after a week or two weeks. Depends on if I use the garbage disposal." —Hayzee

Promising review: "I purchased this to detail small areas in my bathroom and kitchen. It's perfect for those floor corners by the tub, the rim around the faucets, under the sink sprayer handle, and other hard-to-reach areas that I previously used a toothbrush for. The bristles are very stiff, but don't scratch. So far, it's held up well. I am also happy that it doesn't feel like a jackhammer when using it." —anonymous

Promising review: "Magic Erasers are a must-have in my cleaning routine. I use them all the time because they seriously make everything look cleaner with minimal effort. From light everyday messes to tougher, stuck-on grime, they work so well. I'm always amazed at how easily they remove things like scuffs, crayon marks, and even permanent marker. They save me so much time and scrubbing. If there's something you think you can't get off, try a Magic Eraser because it will probably handle it. These are hands down one of my favorite cleaning products, and I honestly don't know what my house would look like without them." —Ashley

Promising review: "This thing helped me clean out ceiling fans and return vents fast, and they are as good as new! I'm impressed (and completely grossed out) by how much dust one little cloth could hold! The handle length is great for tackling high-up objects, and I like that you can adjust the head to make cleaning a breeze! Would definitely recommend." —Tracey

Promising review: "It keeps my shower so much cleaner by reducing mildew and hangs so easily on practically anything (for easy storage and drying). Ignore the weird reviews by people saying their hands hurt after using this, because after actually receiving and using this product, they literally make no sense. The handle and size are more than adequate. So glad I bought this!" —Darius

Promising review: "Love these!! I get compliments on how clean our toilets look and how fresh the bathroom smells 24/7. They last, I would say, up to two weeks. I typically scrub toilets weekly, but the gel is still very intact." —Kayla

Promising review: "These wipes are super convenient for cleaning surfaces in the bathroom. I leave them in our downstairs guest bathroom for a quick tidy before guests come. Keeping them handy also for guests to clean up after a child who is potty training. The fragrance of wipes is light and pleasant. The chemicals in the wipes aren't harsh if you don't use them constantly. They don't dry out my skin if I use them infrequently." —Brittany

Price: $5.97+ (available individually and in a two-pack)

Promising review: "I only use this to maintain my dishwasher. I bought my dishwasher used. It had a horribly loud noise and leaked. I cleaned it with one tab. The noise and leak stopped! I use this once a month to keep my machine running smoothly!" —Raen

Promising review: "I've been using this on my granite for the past year or so, when I found it online. It does an amazing job of cleaning up my granite and leaving it sparkling clean. It's easy to spray on and wipe off. I like that it doesn't have an overpowering scent to it, also." —Rebecca 

Promising review: "I absolutely love this best stuff ever made. You can get anything out of clothes with it. I use it on clothes. I do dishes with it. I use it in the bathroom. I use it in my living room for stains. There's nothing you can't use it on that I know of. I use it on pots and pans to get the stains out of them. I mean, you can use it on anything hard to clean. It gets out everything. You've got to try it though to believe it." —sherryboo61

Promising review: "I honestly bought Scrub Mommy just because she looked cute (don't judge me), but I was not expecting her to be this good. Like — wow. She actually gets the job done really well, scrubs without tearing, and holds up better than most sponges I've used. Plus, she's adorable. I like to put soap between the eyes to fake a little nose. It looks like she's smiling at me while I clean. 10/10, she makes chores weirdly fun." —CeeCee

Promising review: "This thing works miracles. That pesky ring you get on your toilets is no match. Your toilet brush is good for everyday stuff, but this gets that ring off your bowl. It does slowly fall apart while you scrub with it, so it's good for three, maybe four, toilets, depending on how bad they are." —Morgan

Price: $1.98+ (available individually and in a two-pack)

Promising review: "If you want a true air freshener and not just something to cover up unpleasant or even ungodly odors only to leave you with different unwelcome smells, this is what you need. With just a spritz of Pooph, you get fresh air, fabric, carpet, and car, and without any toxins. It even freshens up your puppy. Love it!" —Lisa

Price: $17.98+ (available in four quantities)

Promising review: "My husband just bought a new truck, and he is spending every single minute with it. This kit comes with everything he needs for a complete car cleaning and detailing. It comes with a can of tire foam that effortlessly removes the dirt. It has a car wash and wax cleaner that not only cleans your car, but also waxes it to a beautiful shine. It has glass wipes so you can clean the windshield and the door windows without streaking. The results are crystal clear, and it contains a protectant which helps with sun bleaching. All in all, my husband absolutely loves his Armor All almost as much as he loves his truck. And I can tell you he was really pleased with the variety in this kit. This is a 10 out of 10. The shine on his truck glows, his tires look brand-new, and the interior — perfectly clean." —Patricia

Promising review: "Works perfectly in my living room. Great looking. I can keep my magazines out of sight. Perfect color. I love it!" —Debra
