Promising reviews: "Professional house cleaner here, working in an area with hard water — this stuff is AMAZING. It cuts through buildup fast, leaves surfaces truly clean, and saves me time on tough jobs. Highly impressed." —Lisa Lindsley

"This product is amazing. It removed hard water stains from my kitchen faucet 100% in less than 10 minutes. I like that it is a thick, pasty quality that you can brush on, walk away, and let it work, then wipe off with a cloth. So much easier to use than the dozens of spray-on products I used in the past! And less messy than sprays, easy to control, easy to apply. Highly recommend for any areas where you have hard water stains." —summer40

The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads, which can be used wet or dry. 

Promising review: "Saves so much time (and my knees)!! This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards and door, and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That’s three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen/dining room, a living room, a hallway, and a mud room in under 15 minutes. It used to take me almost half a day, and I had very sore knees and back. Took me just a second to figure out how to hold it and which way to place it on the baseboard — it’s pretty much self-explanatory. I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can’t/don’t want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." —Suziehomemaker

Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. Since we bought this place, we figured we had to fix the caulking because we tried every cleaner we knew to get rid of this gross shower mold. Before we decided to fix... We gave this a shot. Now the shower is like new; we probably didn't even need to wait the five hours, but glad we did. Saved so much time, labor, and money. 🙌" —Nacho average review

Promising review: "Iron Out has saved so much time in my cleaning regimen! We have extremely hard, iron and arsenic-dense water, so our showers, sinks, toilets, and tubs frequently have a rusty look to them. Yet with this product, I now only have to lightly spray the area, and that all goes away. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the odor is quite strong, which is to be expected for what it is and how good of a job it does." —Kenzie

Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in packs of one, three, and six).

Promising reviews: "Sharing our nasty before picture (above) so you can really see the difference! Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom, and scum and dirt cakes on it so easily. The only way I've been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch. I've spent hours, and all it ever got was somewhat clean. This stuff is expensive, but with the good reviews, I decided to try it, and it works amazingly!! I sprayed it on and left it for about 15–20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing, the entire tub and walls were cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost melted off." —Amazon Customer

"I have been looking for something to clean my shower/tub with that wasn't making me work hard. I sprayed it on, waited a bit, and went back, and it wiped right off. Saves time, energy, and has a pleasant clean smell." —Aurabella

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes and with or without sprayer).

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 great for blinds, too! Definitely worth it!" —Julia

"Wow! What genius came up with this amazing sponge? This legit saves me so much time and energy when cleaning my baseboards, window sills, etc. The quality seems great, as I've used this several times and it still looks brand new. Work smarter, not harder!" —Nicki Nynas

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six color options and packs of two, four, and eight).

Promising review: "I've been using these on all my toilets for 60 days now, and this is my review. My toilets generally get a hard water ring around them within a few days of cleaning. It was infuriating, and I found myself cleaning toilets literally two to three times a week just to get rid of that little ring around the water line. These were so cheap I figured, why not, so I bought three of them and OH MY GOODNESS THEY WORK!!!!!! I've had these installed on all three of my toilets for 60 days now, and from what I'm seeing, I should be able to clean them maybe once every two months. I am so happy. If you have hard water buildup issues, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. Try it on a single toilet first, just to be sure, but I think you will be happy. :)" —nima bean

"These do a great job keeping the toilet bowl white in between cleanings. With one person at home, these can last me anywhere from one to two months. The best part about it is that the bleach doesn't eat away at the parts inside the toilet tank. It only has contact with the inside of the toilet bowl. I have had to replace so many fill valves and flappers due to other products that have come into contact with the inside of the tank. This product is far superior to them and will definitely save you money and time in the long-run." —Michael

Promising review: "This brush is so handy for getting into those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies in our shower! Although it just takes AA batteries, this little guy is super powerful and will save you a bunch of time scrubbing hard-to-reach areas. Brush size is perfect for quick detail cleaning." —Jena Staten

Get it from Amazon for $17.98+ (available in four different multi-piece kits).

Promising reviews: "I tried everything with no luck. I thought I had to get the grout redone. So I tried this. It works!!! The mildew fell right off, and the tub looks brand new. I couldn’t believe it. I’m so happy!!! This is the best bathroom cleaner. It’s worth every penny." —peppermint patty

"I love this product, it makes things so clean, and saves me a lot of time. Purchased so many times already, will recommend to everyone." —cindy chen

Get it from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes and one, two or three packs).

Promising review: "I recently tried Stardrops' The Pink Stuff, The Miracle All Purpose Floor Cleaner, and it has quickly become my go-to cleaning solution! This product truly lives up to its name as a 'miracle' cleaner.

The first thing I noticed was how powerful it is. It effectively tackles tough stains and grime on my floors, leaving them sparkling clean. I’ve used it on various surfaces, including tile and laminate, and it works wonders without leaving any residue behind.

The scent is another highlight. It has a pleasant, fresh fragrance that makes cleaning more enjoyable. Unlike some cleaners that have a strong chemical smell, The Pink Stuff has a light, refreshing aroma that’s not overpowering.

I also appreciate that it comes in a generous 33.8 fl oz bottle, which means it lasts a long time and is a great value for the price. The formula is easy to use — just spray, wipe, and you’re done! It doesn’t require a lot of scrubbing, which saves me time and effort.

Overall, I highly recommend Stardrops' The Pink Stuff, The Miracle All Purpose Floor Cleaner for anyone looking for an effective and pleasant-smelling cleaning solution. It’s become an essential part of my cleaning routine, and I’m really impressed with the results!" —Sara

Get it from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in one, two, and four packs).

Promising reviews: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Jane

"I had read about this again on Bzzfeed and they spoke wonders of it! So far, so great! It has a very fresh scent to it, the quality is wonderful as it comes from Scrubbing Bubbles, and it holds up to a household of two men and one woman! Saves me a lot of time now! Thank you!!!!" —Honestly_Mimi

Get it from Amazon for $4.67+ (available in one- and two-packs). 

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. Spray, let sit, lightly scrub, and the tile grout looks like brand new. No more mixing peroxide and baking soda. Saves time and energy." —JEFF RICHARDSON

Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available with or without a brush).

Promising review: "This makes cleaning our jetted tub so easy! While we don't use the jets often, they still have buildup from my kids' regular baths. I love that I can fill the tub and add this solution, leave it running for 15 minutes, and come back to a clean tub. It's oddly satisfying to see the gunk that this tackles, and I know it's great for the regular maintenance of our jetted tub. I simply rinse out any leftover bubbles, and the tub is clean for the next time. One perk I love is that the bottle has easy-to-read measurements, so I know I'm adding just the right amount of this cleaner each time. No need to find a tablespoon or measuring cup! It saves so much time, and I don't have to scrub those pesky, intricate jets." —83nvhylx

Promising reviews: "We recently had our shower replaced, and I now have glass shower doors. Not wanting to get hard water-stained glass, I read up on the best ways to keep it clean. A common suggestion is to use a squeegee after showering to prevent spotting, so I bought this model. From what I can tell, it’s very well made and made of quality materials. The rubber is smooth and substantial, unlike what you generally find in dollar stores. Once I got the hang of it, wiping down the glass doors was quick and easy, and it did a great job of whisking away the water drops. And it does help in keeping the glass from getting hard water spots. The little holder that comes with it can be stuck to the shower wall or the glass door, whichever is most convenient for you, so the squeegee is always there when you need it." —Sue I

"I have one for each shower. They work great and have saved me so much cleaning time." —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in three sizes and four colors/styles).

The kit includes one toilet wand, one storage caddy, and toilet scrubbing pad refills.

Promising review: "This is a stick that connects a disposable scrubbing sponge infused with Clorox. Once water touches the sponge, it starts to activate the Clorox. This can also be used to clean the bathtub and sink. Once you are done, detach the sponge and throw it into a plastic disposable zip-lock bag. Very easy to clean most of the bathroom. Love it as it saves time and isn't as messy as the old traditional way to clean. Great value, clean smell, and quality. Love it." —D. Chin

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available with six or 16 refill pads).

Promising review: "This mop is amazing! Saves so much time and leaves my porcelain tile like a mirror! Best mop ever!!!" —Espi

Promising review: "This has been a time saver and argument stopper! Our shower is used 3-6 times a day. We all have hair, but since mine is the longest and most apparent when the drain gets stopped up, my other family members assume I should be the one to clean it out. This is a process that is time-consuming and frankly rather gross! I had to use needle-nose pliers to grasp the hair down in the drain and pull it out, chunk by chunk. We have tried other products that have caused more of an issue with stopping up than just doing nothing. Now that I have the Tub Shroom, I don't mind being the designated drain cleaner. I can use the same pliers, but I just slide them along the side of the Tub Shroom and sweep the entire contents into the trash can. This entire process takes less than a minute. Since it is so simple, I do it daily. This stops arguing about who should clean it out. It also saves me time as this process went from a 10-minute ordeal to less than a minute! Thank you!!!" —SMO

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors and two-packs).

Promising review: "I love this product!! It works fantastically! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is that 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 they're cleaned with the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the product's design 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

Promising review: "This cleans mineral deposits in toilet bowls easily without harsh chemicals. Its effectiveness has saved me so much time!" —cbrickwill

Get it from Amazon for $14.22+ (available in one, two, three, and four packs).

Promising reviews: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck, and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls, and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree, and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin

"Was surprised at how well this worked to clean my shower. In the past, I’ve used a homemade baking soda paste mixture to scrub my bath and shower, but I was excited to see that just spraying this tub and tile cleaner helped loosen the dirt so that it just wiped right off!! Yay! Saves me time and scrubbing energy. :)" —Naptime Reviews

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes and two-packs).

Promising reviews: "This works well as a daily shower treatment. I have used this product for years, and I like that it has a pleasant scent. It does seem to reduce the build-up of soap scum in between routine shower scrub-downs." —Sheila McMahan

"Love that fresh spa smell after a shower. And saves a lot of time cleaning down the road. Worth the price." —J Wright

Get it from Amazon for $3.29+ (available in a one- or three-pack).

Promising review: "These are excellent and at a great price. I've used similar clog removers for decades. I was a bit put off by some of the reviews, claiming the teeth break, etc., but then I realized they were first-time users. Yes, some teeth do break off — they're designed that way, so they don't get stuck in the drain! There's a bit of a learning curve with these: you wiggle them down the drain, from various angles, and wiggle and pull them up. I find that running some water in the sinks helps. These are as good as it gets and save lots of time and trouble." —jrrjrr

Promising reviews: "I couldn’t believe I wasted my time with those liquid drain clearers. This was fast and efficient, and I only wish I had thought of a product like this sooner. Cleaned my bathroom sink in two seconds!" —Sn48

"I’ve had a clogged bathroom sink. I tried Drano, and it didn’t work. I didn’t want to call a plumber, but I was annoyed that, for weeks, it backed up every time I ran the water and drained so slowly that I didn’t want to use the sink. I got this, and one plunge and some disgusting stuff came up, and it worked right away! I’m so happy with this purchase. Saved me time and money!" —NoshBody

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in various sizes and colors). 

Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews, but I had to with this product. I did not believe it could work as well as the claims. Oh my, it’s incredible. Saves me time and money cleaning and my windows, glass, granite, and shower doors. It cleans better than Windex and paper towels. I am a believer and have ordered more for my Airbnbs." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "We have many cats, and this is, hands-down, the best product we have ever used. So simple to use, you literally open the package, put it on the soiled area, step on it, and then pick it up 24 hours later. The area is clean, with no signs of stains, and smells pleasant. I've used it on fresh stains and older stains, and it works just as well on both. This product has saved so much time and cleaning effort that I'll be recommending it to all my friends and family. Already purchased a second case to have on hand." —Mina

This product is powerful, reliable, and truly delivers results. If you’re dealing with stubborn mold or mildew and want something that actually works, this is it. I would 100% recommend RMR-86 to anyone. A must-have for deep cleaning!" —Susy Pena
