    30 Things To Help You Spring Clean The Places You Probably Never Thought To Clean

    News flash, you need to clean the toilet tank (I had no idea, either).

    1. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets if your dishes somehow keep coming out dirtier than when you put them in. Chances are your dishwasher itself needs a cleaning, and that's what these are for!

    The same dishwasher, which is now stain-free after using the tablets

    Just pop them into the tray where you'd normally put detergent (or on the bottom of your dishwasher if you're washing dishes at the same time), and run as usual!

    Promising review: "Honestly love these things! I am renting and our dishwasher was not cleaned super well between tenants. I popped one of these in and could already see a huge difference; after using two, my dishes have come out looking so much cleaner! I have the same brand for washing machine cleaner and love those, too." —M

    Another promising review: "I have had a film on my dishwasher for quite some time now, I am embarrassed to say. We did not realize that it was necessary to clean the dishwasher from time to time. The buildup had been accumulating for over four years now. I tried several other cleaners to get the buildup off, but failed. I bought this product and figured it was worth a try. We added the product into the dishwasher and ran a normal cycle without dishes. When we opened it back up, it looked like new. Highly recommend this product!" —Phillip and Katherine

    2. A highly rated Conair fabric shaver to suck up all the fuzz and lint hiding in your sofa. Prepare for your couch to look brand new — yes, even if your beloved pets have caused some significant wear and tear. According to reviewers, this thing shaves down scratched-up threads and basically repairs upholstery.

    reviewer before and after photos showing a sofa with scratched-up fabric on the left and the fabric looking like new on the right
    reviewer photo of the fabric shaver next to a pile of lint it removed from a couch

    It has three settings to control how close of a shave you give your fabric. It's also great for sweaters and small enough that you can take it on trips — don't forget the AA batteries if you opt for the battery-powered model!

    My sister has two cats who love scratching at her couch, and she says won't ever be without this thing: "I always keep the shaver close at hand in case I see my cats clawing the couch. It seriously shaves the fibers down to the surface so you can't even tell where my cats have clawed. Pure magic!"

    Promising review: "A literal MUST-BUY!! Bought this for my couch after seeing so many people reviewing it on social media and it worked like a charm! Those little lint balls were so frustrating after I would wash my cushion covers, but this little tool fixed that problem in minutes. About to go use this on everything I own!!" —Ashley

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six colors and two styles).

    3. A highly rated power scrubber because it's wayyyyyy more efficient than trying to clean grout, tile, and other tight nooks and crannies by hand. After all, can your hands deliver 60 scrubs per second? I know mine certainly can't, but this little baby sure does!

    A double photo: (top) A before shot of BuzzFeed Editor, Natalie Brown's tiles caked in gunk (bottom) The same tiles now gunk-free after using the power scrubber
    Gif of Natalie using the power scrubber on the tile
    Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping's Natalie Brown is a fan of this: "I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap-scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.

    "Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease."

    Get it from Amazon for $21.50.

    4. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which reviewers praise as a ~holy grail cleaning product~. It can easily scrub away soap scum and rust stains from tubs and sinks, appliances, and more! So before you give up on some of those more ambitious spring cleaning projects, give this stuff a whirl.

    reviewer before and after photos showing a shower with crayon markings all over it, and then the shower looking spotless after being cleaned with the pink stuff
    reviewer photo of a tub of the pink stuff on an oven door, half of which is dirty, and half of which is clean

    After seeing countless videos on cleaning TikTok that raved about The Pink Stuff, I knew I had to try it out on my stained, grime-coated sheet tray. I mean, if it could make a dent in that, I'd probably believe in magic. Well, I started scrubbing one corner as a test, and lo and behold, the difference was nothing short of DRAMATIC — check out my TikTok of The Pink Stuff being used three ways for proof! And I didn't even have to scrub very hard, though as someone with ~minimal~ upper body strength, I doubt any force I could physically apply would even constitute as heavy scrubbing. At any rate, it worked so well that I tried it on a pair of dirty tennis shoes and a blue stain that had been singed onto my toaster oven for months, and, yup, it worked. I will say, if you want your sheet trays to look brand spankin' new, you might need a cleaning scraper tool to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN. 

    Promising review: "This is a MIRACLE worker! We’ve had a bath crayon stain on our tub for over two weeks and tried everything to remove it. Magic Eraser didn’t even do the job! I let this paste sit for about 15 minutes and with warm water and some scrubbing it’s GONE! HIGHLY recommend this product!" —M_H

    Get it from Amazon for $5.29

    5. And a versatile pack of melamine sponges that are just as ~magic~ as other brands, only way more affordable. With these, all you need to clear away tough stains and messes is water and a bit of elbow grease!

    reviewer before and after photos showing a white door with crayon scribbles on it next to the same door without the markings
    reviewer photo of the sponges with their packaging

    In case you missed the hint, reviewers say they're just as effective as the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!

    Promising review: "My husband and I recently moved to a new apartment and the previous renter was a slob. (Seriously, I'm thinking that there may have even been a demon possession involved. We're talking food on the CEILING kind of 'slob'). Upon moving in, I noticed some sort of unidentifiable grossness all over the back of my bathroom door! After donning a hazmat suit, I grabbed one of these erasers and in no time flat the possible dried projectile demon vomit was off of my door. Thank goodness!" —Beckaroosy

    Another promising review: "As good as Mr. Clean Magic Erasers but half the price. They clean so many surfaces better than anything. We use them at the bar and clean our chalkboards, metal sinks and ice wells, beer coolers, FRP backsplash walls, and even graffiti in the bathrooms comes off more easily with these than other cleaning products. I took one home and cleaned my shower faster and more easily than with bottles of shower cleaner. Highly recommended." —Stephen Brandau

    6. Roomba robot vacuum so you can outsource the (somehow never-ending) chore of vacuuming! Just use the app to send your robotic vac out and let it do the work to suck up dirt, debris, pet hair, and more.

    gif showing the roomba gliding over a reviewer's carpet and steering away from the edges of furniture, while their cat sleeps nearby
    reviewer photo showing a pile of dust and pet hair the roomba was able to pick up

    It's compatible with Alexa and runs for up to 90 minutes before automatically returning to its dock to recharge. So smart! 😭

    Promising review: "So easy to set up! I use it daily. It does a fantastic job on the pet hair! And it even gets up the very fine soot from the the wind blowing into my living room! Really makes a difference!!! My white floors are shining!" —Liz H.

    Another promising review: "Life changing. My Roomba is one of my favorite things I have ever bought myself. It’s incredible! It cleans so thoroughly, and I am so impressed by how well it cleans under furniture. As a two-cat owner who is not the best at maintaining a cleaning schedule, I can’t believe it took me this long to get one. It is also great on both carpet and hard wood!" —Katherine Hanson

    Get it from Amazon for $218+ (also available with a virtual wall barrier).

    7. And a handheld mattress vacuum because you will be utterly shocked (and probably disgusted) when you realize just how much dirt and dust you've been sleeping on. Well, time to remedy that by sucking up all the ick.

    a review photo of all the dust collected with the mattress vacuum
    gif of a reviewer using the mattress vacuum

    Promising review: "So I bought this originally for my son, who has 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 bed sheets 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; it was easy to use and light. My son hasn't had a reaction in a while. This product works for my family!" —Lisa

    Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in white or silver).

    8. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner if you've started to notice a strange odor wafting up from the sink. This will break down any lingering food residue and get rid of the smell.

    reviewer gif of the garbage disposal cleaner bubbling up into a blue foam in their sink
    hand placing the garbage disposal cleaner packet into a drain

    Promising review: "I love these! I absolutely hate a dirty sink and I use these to keep my disposal from stinking. We bought our house back in October and there was a crazy funk coming from the drain. I tried a lot of different things from baking soda/vinegar to ice and lemons, etc. These little packages have gotten rid of that problem and I continue to use them bc they are cheap and they work. Also, there is something really satisfying about the blue bubbles in the sink." —Danielle

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.78+ (available in boxed or bagged packaging). 

    9. A pack of washing machine cleaning tablets to keep the thing that cleans your clothes clean. 😊 Not to mention, if you've been struggling with the dreaded musty machine smell, many reviewers say this completely solved the problem and left it smelling fresh!

    the inside of a reviewer's washing machine looking like new

    The tablets are safe to use with pretty much any type of washer: HE or regular, top-loading and front-loading. Simply place one tablet in your empty washing machine and run a normal wash cycle, then wipe away the residue — easy breezy! 

    Promising review: "These are like magic! We all know that front load washers can get a distinct smell to them after a while. Every once in a while I pop one of these babies in, run it on self clean, and let it go. As soon as it’s done, it’s like I have a brand new machine. The scent isn’t strong, no more than your average detergent. I swear by these. I highly recommend them to friends and I highly recommend them to you, too!" —Alyssat17

    Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.19 (also available in packs of three or five). 

    10. A no-rinse coil cleaner since having clean coils on your fridge and air conditioner ensures they keep cool and run efficiently — but alas, this means you have to keep the coils clean! Luckily, you can just spray this foaming cleaner onto the coils and watch the mess literally disappear. 

    reviewer before and after photos showing dirty air conditioner coils above and the coils looking much cleaner below
    reviewer spraying an air conditioner with the foaming spray

    Promising review: "Works like magic! I have a Sub-Zero refrigerator with the evaporator at the top. I looked and saw the amount of lint and grime that had built up. There were several versions of this type of product, I bought this — one of the less expensive versions — and it worked exceptionally well. I have no idea where all of the stuff goes — but when this spray hits it, it disappears. There is probably enough of the stuff in the can to do three or four refrigerators, so I passed it onto my neighbors, who were impressed, too." —MatBo911

    Get it from Amazon for $18.29.

    11. A reusable Swiffer duster pad for a reusable alternative to disposable cleaning pads. Use these to clean just about every spot in the house — desks, wall shelves, blinds, ceiling fans, you name it — and then just pop in the wash for next time! Smart, convenient, AND eco-friendly. We love to see it.

    TS Designs / Etsy

    TS Designs is a West Leroy, Michigan-based small business that sells fun gifts and decor along with eco-friendly items.

    Promising review: "Great washable duster replacement tops. They vacuum off and wash up easily, and they grab dust and cobwebs every bit as well as the disposable ones I was using. Considering it means putting a bit less into landfills and also saving money in the long run, I only wish I had bought these years ago, sincerely. Also they shipped very promptly and arrived sooner than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!" —otherlings

    Get it from TS Designs on Etsy for $4.94+ (originally $5.49+, available in 10 colors, as well as in multipacks).

    12. dryer vent cleaner attachment, because even though you always empty the lint catcher (please, I really hope this is true), it might not be enough. This will pull out any lingering filth that manages to escape your fingers, thereby reducing the risk of your dryer becoming a mega fire hazard. Seriously, who knew something like this even existed?

    reviewer using the blue dryer vent cleaning attachment with their vacuum to clean their vent
    Reviewer photo of sock and lint sucked out of the dryer with the vent cleaner

    This adapter is compatible with most vacuum cleaner pipes, so all you have to do is attach it to your vacuum and guide it around your dryer to suck up excess and hard-to-reach lint. It also comes with a guide wire so you can easily direct the hose. Too much lint buildup not only slows down the drying process, it's also a fire hazard, so this handy device can actually be considered a safety tool!

    Promising review: "Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent!! This past summer, the lint trap broke on our dryer. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What a disaster. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock, as well as a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!" —Laurel Enoch

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).

    13. And a dryer vent lint brush with a long, flexible handle to help you clear out the teeny tiny crevices in your dryer gap and exhaust port. We'll be taking zero chances with dryer lint, thank you very much.

    A customer review photo of a pile of lint they pulled out of their dryer

    Promising review: "Great product, much bigger than what the pictures show. I never thought I could have so much lint stuck in the vent. It helps keep clothes smelling better and I’m sure is overall easier on the dryer with better air flow." —Andrew Portus

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99.

    14. A powerful drill brush kit so you can restore your tub after you pull up the bathmat only to find grimy caked-on stains underneath. 🤮  With three types of brushes in different shapes and sizes, this kit has everything you need to get rid of messes everywhere, from corners to flat surfaces.

    Reviewer photo of a dirty tub before using the kit
    Reviewer photo of the same tub looking clean after using the kit

    Just attach one to your drill and watch it clean those messes with hardly any effort on your part — here's a drill if you need one!

    This brush comes in different colors and bristle textures: white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpets, upholstery, glass, and leather; yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathrooms, bathtubs, shower, tiles, and porcelain; green is a medium bristle, best for kitchens, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoes/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garages, and gutters; and black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.

    Drill Brush is a small business that was founded by Anthony LaPolla, a former electrician with carpal tunnel syndrome who developed this tool as a way to clean while avoiding painful scrubbing. 

    Promising review: "I had some buildup of soap scum on my bathroom sink I had tried to get off, and it just wasn't possible, so I let it continue to build up. I got to the point where I just thought it looked awful and needed a new solution. I decided the drill brushes was worth trying, and within about 10 minutes of drill brushing my sink is like brand-new." —ToddV

    Another promising review: "Bought these on a whim and was skeptical if they would really help, but man am I glad I did! They made cleaning our glass shower door and fiberglass shower a breeze! Don't really want to admit how long it had been between cleanings, but the shower shined like it never had before. No issues with the brushes leaving marks, but definitely want to err on the side of caution on how long you stay in a spot." —Molly

    Get a set of three brush heads from Amazon for $18.95 (available with soft, medium, stiff, and ultra-stiff bristles in several colors).

    15. An overnight toilet tank cleaner that just about everyone who owns a toilet ought to use. Apparently (and I am just learning this today), you need to clean the tank every now and then, too. But thankfully, all we have to do is pour this in the tank and let it work its magic. Oh, how I love effortless cleaning!

    Promising review: "According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle, but being that it was so big and that I had two toilets to clean, I only used half. I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960s and I doubt it's been cleaned within the last few decades. In the 'after' photo you can see that there is still some rust left over but large chunks fell off the sides and can be seen on the bottom of the tank." —Nicole

    Get it from Amazon for $7.54 (also available in a six-pack).

    16. A window blind duster brush to help you tackle what is arguably the most tedious spring task out there: cleaning each individual slat of the blinds. This nifty little gadget makes doing this necessary-but-highly-annoying job so much easier, and it works wonderfully, too!

    Reviewer GIF demonstrating how to use the window blind duster brush
    reviewer holding the blue duster, which is covered in dust

    Included are five reusable and washable microfiber cloths, which can also be used for cleaning hard-to-reach areas like air conditioners and car blinds.

    Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job: cleaning window blinds! I have used about every method there is, but the job is still very time consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value — being reusable, and with so many to use, it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" —Sandy D

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    17. And a Scrub Daddy Damp Duster here to help you dust smarter, not harder. It has little grooves for trapping lint from blinds, door slats, and the like, so you don't just send the dust flying everywhere when you're "cleaning". Plus, it's easy to wash and reuse.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.84+.

    18. A nifty baseboard cleaning tool that extends and swivels 360-degrees, which means no spot is out of reach! You'll be astounded by how much dust has accumulated on top of all your door frames, windows, and other hard-to-reach ledges.

    image of reviewer using the baseboard cleaning tool to clean the top trim above a door
    reviewer holding up a dirty cleaning head

    Promising review: "I have lived in my house for three years and have never cleaned my baseboards. We are a busy, active family and 'clean the baseboards' is never on the immediate list of things to be done…not to say that it doesn’t need to be done. I just don’t have time. Then I spotted the Baseboard Buddy. I figured it couldn’t hurt to try it. It showed up today and I put it together in about two minutes and took it for a test drive. I dusted my entire downstairs, above the doors and along the stair rails in about 15 minutes! I used it dry and it worked great. I’ll probably use a multipurpose cleaner with it next time. The head swivels, which is great. There is a tiny bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super easy." —Jennifer H.

    Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

    19. A set-it-and-forget-it multipurpose outdoor cleaner for an easy way to get rid of green moss and mildew stains on your driveway, patio, front walk, and other outdoor surfaces. You should notice a difference in as little as a week!

    reviewer before and after showing a mold covered stone patio next to one that's mold-free after being sprayed with the cleaner
    reviewer photo of some outdoor patio tiles showing three that are green and one that isn't, since it was sprayed with the cleaner

    Tougher black stains could take several months to go away, and if needed, you can re-spray 1–2 months after the first application. 

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $22.64 (also available in a four-pack). 

    20. And on that note, a concrete deodorizer specifically designed to remove any not-so-pleasant odors that find their way onto your patio (Fido, we're looking at you). Oh, and bonus! It also works to repel bugs and mosquitos!

    21. A natural scour paste that will bring a ~refurbished~ look to any surface that's seen some better days, which includes the tops of cabinets you haven't bothered to clean since you moved in, uhhh, how many years ago? Let's just say it's been a long time...

    Humble Suds is a small biz based in Denver, Colorado, making plant-based cleaning products that you can actually feel good about using. 

    My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague Danielle Healy had a lot of success with this stuff: "Shortly after moving into my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in thick layer of grime left from previous tenants. After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver — pics above. After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

    Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes/packaging options).

    22. An Oxo deep-clean brush set for scrubbing the seemingly impossible crevices, like on your faucet, in between tiles, and more. It's like an extremely robust and durable toothbrush!

    a reviewer's partially cleaned grout from using the detailing brushes

    The set includes two brushes: a larger one for things like grout and stovetops and a smaller one with a brush side and wiper blade side. 

    Promising review: "Shocking! I got this at the request of a friend who was helping with cleaning. They weren't expensive, so I decided to get them. I thought they were kind of silly, I use toothbrushes if I need a small cleaning brush. No more toothbrushes for cleaning for me! These really do let you get into cracks and corners, and the bristles are stiff enough to get packed-in dirt out. And the silly squeegee on the end? Awesome. I rent, and have places in my apartment I've never been able to get clean. With these brushes and the squeegee tip, I think the apartment is finally clean of old tenants' dirt." —Laura Gail

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in a grout brush). 

    23. And a 2-in-1 ultra-slim brush and scraper since it can easily fit into those super narrow, easily-forgotten spaces you definitely need to clean, such as the bathroom vent, radiator, and window grooves.

    Promising review: "Perfect little brush to get in the hard to clean areas. Used it in the tracks of an old pet door stuffed with dog hair and dander. Shocked at how much gunk came out with this brush. I like how the bristles are longer and can really reach into the nooks and crannies." —Island Girl

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.97 (available in three colors). 

    24. Plus a set of suuuper teeny detailing brushes because you shall leave no spot untouched this year — not even the crevices on your ornate furniture and decor! Plus, the sharp-ended handles mean they double as scrapers.

    It includes a crevice brush, bottle brush, groove brush, gap brush, edge brush, detailing brush, track brush, corner brush, and hole brush.

    Promising review: "I'm always needing to clean impossibly tight spaces and corners. These were inexpensive, so I gave them a shot and I'm glad I did. They're better than I'd hoped. Not only do they have useful brushes and soft tipped heads that wipe tight spaces, the handles have hard plastic tools on the other end as well. I've scraped grime and film from corners and grooves with the angled plastic scraper edges on the handles of several of these tools, then used that tool's soft tip to wipe it away. I'm restoring a 100-year-old house, so I clean some really grimy things. I've been amazed at how completely the soft tips on these rinse clean under just some hot water with a squirt of bleach cleaner for the worst of the grime. The zip-up plastic pouch is a nice extra. Nothing fancy about it, but it keeps the tools together and easy to find. And it's sturdy, which I appreciate." —R. Hewitt

    Get it from Amazon for $7.29 (also available in smaller and larger sets). 

    25. A heavy-duty grout cleaner that will have everyone thinking you completely re-did the floors. You might even fool yourself when the space in between the tiles suddenly turns white instead of gray. 😱

    Clean-Eez is an Indiana-based small biz selling cleaning products that'll make tackling even the toughest jobs a lot easier. 

    Promising review: "Simply the best product! I rent and unfortunately not everyone takes good care of a rental property. I just moved and was disgusted by the flooring (regular white tiles with disgustingly dark grout). Used the product as directed and the results really impressed me! Definitely recommend this product!" —Maria Alejandra Hinojosa

    Another promising review: "After trying to get my grout clean with everything I could think of and not having any success, I stumbled upon a TikTok using Grout-Eez so i thought I would try it. This stuff is legit. I’m confident a professional cleaner couldn’t get my grout cleaner. There is literally no dirt left. Very little scrubbing required and little to no odor. It’s amazing! The scrub brush included attached to my paint handle and I didn’t even have to bend over. I cleaned it twice because my grout was really dirty, then I sealed the grout in hopes it won’t get dirty again so fast. I can’t wait to do the rest of my house!" —Kathy

    Get two bottles and a brush from Amazon for $39.95.

    26. A truly awe-inspiring Quick N Brite fireplace cleaning kit to get rid of the soot stains you thought were a permanent fixture of your home. Trust me, Santa is gonna thank you big time for using this.

    It even comes with a handy scrub brush!

    Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I made the mistake of putting too many logs in my fire at one time and my flue couldn’t keep up. So needless to say, my white fireplace got discolored. I used this stuff and it made it as good as new!" —Jedadia T.

    Another promising review: "Unbelievable! My daughter just moved into her first home. She thought she would have to paint her brick fireplace because of the heavy soot stains that had been there for years. We applied the product twice and put in a whole lot of elbow grease, but what a difference! It’s a messy process, but well worth the time and energy." —MM

    27. A handy scraping tool set you can use to eradicate any sticky messes you've just not had the patience to deal with. Someone please tell me why stickers have to leave such an annoying residue? Anyways, this little guy is safe to use on surfaces like paint, glass, metal, wood, plastic, and tile without scratching, so we can get rid of those annoying goopy spots once and for all.

    Promising review: "These work great at getting sticky labels off of items, and even work for getting sticky messes cleaned up from fridge spills!" —Carol M

    Another promising review: "I bought this scraper to remove the random sticky things left on the tile by my kids. It easily removed spots I had tried to remove for months. It's great on kitchen counters as well and doesn't leave scratches. The replacement razors are very easy to replace. All around great purchase!" —Amy A.

    28. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner so you can relax after all that spring cleaning with a luxurious soak in clean water. Not to ~burst your bubble bath~, but there's likely soap scum, body oils, and other yuckiness hiding away in those jets, all of which this stuff will clear out.

    Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. 

    Promising review: "I honestly did not think this was going to work any better than some other methods I had tried. Boy was I wrong. Followed the instructions and watched in disbelief as the gunk and the grime started surfacing in the tub. Let it run its course, drained the tub, then filled it with cold water, ran the jets for 10 minutes, and it was like brand new. Every now and then you come across a product that actually works, this being one of those. BTW it hardly has any smell, which also surprised me." —JJS in Madison

    29. A wet-and-forget weekly shower spray that works exactly as you'd expect: spray it once a week, and then just rinse it off eight to 12 hours later. No scrubbing required to get rid of soap scum, hard water stains, and other grime!

    30. And finally, a spray-and-drip crystal cleaner to transform your dull chandelier into a stunning statement piece, which has the wonderful side effect of making your home feel like the Palace of Versailles. Best of all, this just sprays on, so no more need to take down the fixture and clean every crystal individually!

    Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. There's no smell, it's a super easy application, and it gives instant results. You could see the dirt dripping down the chandelier...gross. I will definitely be buying this again. I recommend putting plastic underneath with a sheet or paper towels on top to absorb the drip. I’ve attached before and after one application photos —seen above." —kw
