29 Cleaning Products That Can Vanquish Even The Foulest Of MessesGet ready to say buh-bye to carpet stains and toilet rings.

1. A stain and odor eliminator to clean up those tough messes you’ve already used sooo many products on. Not only will this stuff get rid of the stain, but it will get rid of the smell… Pet stains can be STANKY, iykyk. 

Rocco & Roxie Supply Co. is a family-owned small business named after the family’s pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.

Promising review: “I have an elderly dog who has occasional accidents and a cat with chronic bladder issues. Without this product, I’m pretty sure I would’ve burned down the house. On fresh accidents, it works with just one treatment. It removes the stains, and more importantly, it completely removes the odors. On older, setting stains, it completely removes stains and odors after several repeat treatments. I’ve tried so many products over the years. Hands-down, this is the best.” —SR Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

2. Or an odor-eliminating spray that doesn’t smell like chemicals, but like freshly squeezed oranges. Don’t let the delightful scent fool you, this stuff is powerful. Reviewers rave about it *completely* eliminating any odors in their house, and yes, that includes cat pee.
Promising review: “I have a cat who has forever had a fun little habit of peeing on the floor. Carpets, an idle sock, you name it – he will at some point pee on it. I have tried every enzyme and pet odor eliminator there is and this is simply the best. I will not purchase any others. First, I absolutely love the smell. It just smells like oranges. If you like the smell of oranges, you will like this. Second, it actually works. It’s the only product I’ve found that fully removes the urine smell and I do believe it actively reduces my cat’s urge to re-pee on whatever beloved household item he’s tarnished. Third, this makes a great general floor cleaner. I mix this up with a bit of hot water and use it to mop my floors. It does a great job and leaves my place smelling fresh. Seriously, if you have a pet who likes to pee on your things, this will be your new best friend.” —E G

Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

3. Orrrr a nontoxic carpet cleaning solution you can put into the carpet cleaner machine you already own and get up those stains that have been haunting you for the past two years. 

Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products designed for pet owners who want keep their homes stain- and odor-free. 

Promising review: “A true sensory experience while completing a mundane, laborious chore! The scent from this cleaner was pleasing versus the harsh chemical smell from the other brands out there. Yet, it was able to remove old stains that had been in the carpet fiber for well over seven years. This surprised me as I had just accepted that those stains were there to stay. Plus, it’s concentrated so I just used over a bit of the recommended amount. Now the carpet looks great with no grainy feel to it when you walk on it with bare feet; although I did vacuum afterwards. Just as importantly, the carpet does not have the unpleasant odor that has lingered and would rear its ugly head from time to time! Thanks to Amazon for carrying this and making it easy for me to locate on the site!!!” —Marie J.

Get it from Amazon for $19.50+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

4. OR a beloved Folex carpet cleaner ready to tackle (and defeat) those unexpected, and seemingly permanent messes — grease, and oil, and blood, oh my!

“I just removed makeup from my favorite white shirt and my white pillow cases!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t bleed the stain further down on cotton and removes on carpet just as well! They are both mind-blowing and easy to use! I love spending my money on products that do what they say they are going to do! No regrets. Stop wasting money and effort on everything else!” —JRreview

Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

5. Some reusable pads that you can just attach to the Swiffer mop you already have so you don’t have to feel bad going through like six pads every time you clean your floors.

These are machine washable so you can pop them in when they get dirty and they’ll be ready for your next cleaning sesh!

Promising review: “I love my Swiffer mop, and with two dogs I need to use it every day on the kitchen floor. I was bothered by the wastefulness of disposable Swiffer pads and these pads have solved that. The microfiber ridges are perfect for deep cleaning — and I simply toss them in the washing machine when they’re dirty. No more expensive disposable pads for me!” —ann collins

The Hate Stains Co. is a small business that specializes in fast, powerful, and nontoxic stain removing products. 

Promising review: “I’ve tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I’ve tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded. I can’t believe I didn’t have this sooner, I’m about to buy a gallon!” —Mark, the solid 7 out of 10

7. A shower door cleaner that will make your glass so shiny that you will have to take caution to stop your pet (or maybe your partner) from running into it face first.
Promising review: “This product completely removes soap and hard water stains from clear glass shower doors. I spread it on with a soft scrubbing pad — a little goes a long way — rubbed in circles, and rinsed with clear water (I used a pitcher and poured it across the glass) — twice. No streaking, no smearing, absolutely clear. I will be buying again.” —Sallie Cwik

Get it from Amazon for $11.12.

8. A pumice cleaning stone reviewers repeatedly call magic, and once you see the results, you will understand why. Those rings you’ve had around the toilet in your basement for years will finally disappear. 

Promising review: “I’m doing a happy dance right now! My toilets have had mineral rings in the bowls from well water since we bought our house five years ago. During those five years, I have purchased NUMEROUS products to try to remove the rings. Every single one failed. I had come to terms with the idea that if I wanted pristine-looking crappers, I was going to need to replace them. Three of them. Ugh! I ordered the pumice cleaning stone as a last ditch attempt. Received it today, and immediately went to town. My extreme enthusiasm for scrubbing johns was actually a bit odd, but I was feeling optimistic. Turns out I had reason to. THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!!! SO amazing, it actually inspired me to take a picture of my TOILET!!!! My hoppers are saved!!!!! Seriously, the rings are COMPLETELY GONE. If I could give 10 stars, I would.” —Sassyscribbler

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (also available in multi-packs).

9. Or a disposable toilet cleaning wand that comes with scrubbing pads preloaded with cleaner. Now, you won’t have to spray the cleaner, let it sit, and then scrub the toilet. Since the pads are disposable, you don’t have to worry about storing the germ-infested toilet brush. Maybe it’s just me, but I get the heebie jeebies putting away my toilet brush and praying it doesn’t touch anything in the process — aka yes, I will be buying these.
The starter kit comes with the wand, storage caddy, and six refill brush heads.

Promising reviews: “I’m so glad I purchased this Clorox toilet wand. Extremely easy to use. I love how great it deep cleans my toilet. Reaches areas the my normal toilet brush didn’t. The soft scent is just perfect!” —Liza Love

“I bought this wand to clean the toilet but found it also works great for showers and tubs. I love that I don’t have to bend so much. Super easy to use! I still hate cleaning bathrooms, but this makes it so easy.” —Michele McAmis

Get the starter kit from Amazon for $11.98 (also available as a kit with 16 refills).

10. And a pack of all-natural toilet fizzies designed to make cleaning even the grossest toilets a little more manageable. Just drop one of these in the bowl and watch the fizzing action dissolve all the grime and buildup. Bonus, your kiddo may think this is a fun science experiment and ask to do it next time.
Happy Earth Boutique / Etsy

Happy Earth Boutique is a small business based in New Jersey that focuses on sustainable, nontoxic cleaning, and personal care products.

Promising review: “Miraculous product‼️ So ingeniously effective from natural ingredients, essential oils, and baking soda. Love the fizzing!” —Aurora Kangaspuu

Get it from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $11.19+ (originally $12.99+; available in four styles). 

11. A ChomChom roller to remove all the pet hair that is still on your couch even after you’ve vacuumed — it’s shedding season, you’re about to find hair embedded everywhere. This little tool works on pretty much any surface — furniture, upholstery, blankets, clothes — and you don’t have to worry about constantly ripping off *another* sticky sheet.

Promising review: “I opted to buy the ChomChom in the hopes of at last having something practical that will help us remove black cat hair from upholstered and carpeted areas of our home. I’ve used several things over the years, but nothing really worked ‘as advertised.’ The ChomChom made short, easy work of cat hair removal! No electricity, no big complicated two- or three-part device…just a well-designed, efficient roller that gathers up hair as one rolls it back and forth and deposits it in a closed compartment that’s easy to clear out for dumping into the trash. Now, if someone could explain to me how one small cat can continually produce and shed so much hair, I’m all ears.” —Marilee

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two colors).

12. Or, a pet hair removing carpet rake with a magnet-like rubber head to attract the massive amount of hair lodged into your carpet. This thing will pull up piles of pet hair (and probably your hair, too) that you thought you got rid of vacuuming. BONUS, this is reusable and washable, so no worry about creating excessive waste when you inevitably become obsessed with cleaning your carpets. 

The handle is incredibly versatile and can extend from 36–60 inches to prevent people of all heights from straining their backs while de-furring their home.

Promising review: “Just get this, now. We added a kitty to our family a year ago, and I was starting to feel overwhelmed with the nonstop hair. We have beautiful hardwood floors, and sweeping or vacuuming just seemed to provide a temporary fix. When this amazement came, I did a test run on a hall runner that I vacuum often. The amount of hair that came off terrified me!!!!! For days, I walked around from room to room just sweeping everything. It’s almost a miracle. Love, love, love it!” —Pcelica063

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in six variations).

13. A TikTok-famous O-Cedar mop and bucket set to help you achieve those shiny and sparkly floors you’ve always dreamed of ✨. The microfiber mop head is ~machine washable~ and incredibly effective at picking up the dirt and grime.

Reviewers say the wringing system is a total game changer — all you have to do is press the pedal down with your foot, and it’ll spin away excess water (like in the GIF above). Another plus is the mop head, which has a unique triangular shape for getting into hard-to-reach corners and can be cleaned in the washing machine!

Promising review: “OK, I am like, obsessed with this mop. It is just extremely well designed in almost every way. The handle is extendable but collapses pretty small, the mop head is removable and can be put in the wash, the mop head is triangle shaped so it fits in corners, the spin pump is easy to use and gets water out super efficiently. The only small thing is that the mop bucket doesn’t have wheels. But it’s so forgivable given everything else.” —Rex

Get it from Amazon for $34.97 (also available as a set with extra mop heads).

14. Bissell’s Little Green cleaner with a cult following of parents, pet owners, and clumsy people. This compact device gets alllll the stains (grass! pet accidents! food! mud!) from almost any surface. Now you can finally feel comfortable inviting your accident-prone friend over again.

It comes with a tough stain tool, HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.

Promising review: “This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing, but considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. I posted photos for reference (above) of how dirty my cushions were before the cleaning and after the cleaning! Best vacuum I’ve ever used. I even bought a second one!” —Davina

Get it from Amazon for $120.57 (available in nine variations).

15. A Rubbermaid scrubber because this electric power scrubber is small but mighty to help you tackle messes that won’t seem to go away with just some elbow grease. Stop breaking a sweat every time you find a new gross stain, and instead, break out this scrubber that will do all the heavy lifting.

I was recently influenced to purchase one of these, and I can tell you it genuinely works. I wasn’t really expecting it to do much, but when I used it in my shower, I could see the water stains getting lifted immediately. The grout cleaner attachment is especially helpful for the awkward corners of my shower that I couldn’t seem to reach with any other brushes. It really takes out most of the work and allows you to get a deeper clean without as much elbow grease.

Promising review: “In my kitchen especially, the detailing on my cupboards and floor molding were starting to look like they could grow a garden in them. I saw a review for this tool, took a chance, and just completed two cabinet doors in 20 minutes that would have taken me forever by hand (toothpick, toothbrush, etc.). Love it!!! I learned not to press on it; the circulating bristles don’t require any pressure. Just let them do the work. Can’t wait to attack the baseboards and feel clean again.” —Ms.Mac

Get it from Amazon for $17.38.

16. A pack of melamine sponges that work on household surfaces, cars, shoes, really anything that you need to clean. These are extra thick, so they can handle bigger messes without you having to constantly grab a new one. But if you do burn through one, don’t worry…this comes with 20.

Reviewers say they’re an excellent alternative for the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, and much more affordable!

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

17. A wine stain remover so you can finally actually enjoy drinking red wine with friends instead of sitting there anxiously waiting for someone to spill. Works on both fresh and dry stains, with no need for bleach or phosphates. It also works on coffee, blood, ink, fruit punch, sauces, red medicine, and pet accidents. Plus, it has a fresh citrus scent! Can also be used on hard surfaces to remove latex paint, graffiti, and degrease surfaces.

Promising review: “I fell in love with this product some 15 years ago and I am so very happy that it’s still available in the same wonderful formula as ever. It has a fantastic citrus scent. This takes care of any stain so fast and efficiently, it’s become a party trick. I have seriously poured red wine over a white comforter to demonstrate how great it is to a friend once. It is a miracle in a bottle! We use it for all sorts of cleaning on materials around the house, and one bottle has lasted us years! This is definitely a product every home should have.” —Melanie N

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

18. A 100% natural oven scrub that will restore your oven to first-bought freshness. The plant-based ingredients are strong enough to give your oven a deep clean without any toxic fumes.

Everneat / Etsy

It also comes with a metallic scrubber!

Everneat is a small Etsy shop based in Fairfield, Connecticut, that specializes in natural cleaning products.

Promising review: “This stuff is MAGIC! One application and it took 15 years of yuck off my oven that refused to come off with other oven cleaners! The product does most of the work so you really don’t have to scrub for hours. Highly recommend this stuff!” —Traci Hutchinson

Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $19.99 (available in three scents).

19. A natural tub and tile cleaner designed to dissolve soap scum, hard water stains, and mineral deposits all while making your house smell like eucalyptus 😍. Unlike many other cleaners, this one is non-toxic, free of synthetic fragrances, and made of biodegradable ingredients. 

Promising review: “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

Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (also available as multi-packs).

20. A plant-based Puracy spray that may as well be magic with how easily it can remove dried-on stains from sweat, oil, deodorant, or whatever meal you may have spilled on yourself this time.
Puracy is a small biz based in Austin, Texas. It was started by two best friends with the aim of making plant-based cleaning products that are gentle enough to use around children. 

Promising review: “With a little one, a dog, and an outdoor-loving family, I am constantly doing laundry. I have tried other natural stain removers and none really do the job. They get out some stains, or need to be washed within 15 minutes and retreated, which isn’t always a reality in our home. This, however, is amazing! I haven’t met a stain this can’t handle! It has to soak for a long time, which makes laundry easy and allows for flexibility. Also, it has no odor, no residue, no damage to clothes. It is amazingly easy to use and does an amazing job. I have gifted this to a few friends with babies just because it really is that good!” —Trixie L

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

21. A set of three power scrubber brushes to attach to your drill so you can stop spending hours using your old toothbrush to scrub the grime away. It’s time to work smarter, not harder, folks!
The company that created this brush is a small business founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing himself harm.

These brushes fit with any drill, but if you don’t have one, you can grab one here.

Promising review: “Of all things to clean in the house, the bathroom has to be my least favorite!! I would scrub and scrub and scrub to try and remove calcium deposit stains and soap buildup. It was like my workout for the day! Well after using my new Power Scrubber Drill Brush Attachment, OH MY GOSH!! I am obsessed!! I had so much fun using it. I seriously did not wanna stop cleaning. I did not work up a sweat this time and it was amazing to see the calcium deposit stain wash away along with the soap buildup. Seriously though, the different attachments came in very handy depending on where I was operating the drill. The angled corners of the tile walls were cleaned perfectly with the circular brush. Also, the circular brush was awesome for the drain too. The big scrub brush was spectacular on the bathtub itself while the little scrub brush worked well with the grout lines in the tile. The attachments were easy to put on and take off the drill. They were also easy to clean, dry and put away for the next time. The price was WELL worth the product. There truly is no reason not to make this purchase to make cleaning fun again!!” —Soul-ga Girl Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles and in six colors).

22. A mold and mildew removal gel that you simply layer on, leave for a few hours, and wipe clean. Yes, that means NO SCRUBBING.

Promising review: “The caulking in my shower had turned black with mold. I had been too sick to take care of things like that for over a year. I used this and within one application it is bright, shiny, white again! If this hadn’t worked, I was planning to remove all the caulking and start over. This saved me hours of work. There are some things that make you satisfied every time you look at it. This is one of them.” —Planetary Drive

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

23. A bottle of Dawn Powerwash with so many uses — greasy tools, cupboards, obviously dishes, and more. For really stuck-on messes, simply spray a layer and leave it for a few minutes. When you come back, you’ll be able to wipe away all the grime with ease.

The bundle comes with one spray bottle and three refills.

Promising review: “My daughter told me about this, but I thought it was just like the regular Dawn dish soap. When she finally showed me how it worked, I couldn’t believe I was washing dishes without it for so long. It’s amazing for all the caked-on baking dishes, and it cuts through grease like magic. And it even worked when cleaning my stove, cabinets, and cupboards. It makes all the caked-on grease and grime disappear. I 100% recommend this product.” —Maria Kerr

Get a four-pack bundle from Amazon for $17.50.

24. A bleach-free weekly shower spray that doesn’t require scrubbing. 😩🙌🏼 Just spray it on and leave it while you go clean the rest of your house. When you wipe it away (8–12 hours later), you will be *shocked* by the results.Promising review: “Holy cow! The only thing I’m mad about is that I didn’t know about it sooner! I have three teenage daughters. My shower sees body oils, creams, hair dye, etc DAILY. Scrubbing once a week wasn’t enough. The girls didn’t always remember to use the daily shower spray. This stuff WORKS! I can see the difference after two uses two days in a row. Could see a change on day one. I think one more use will have my tub looking like I scrubbed with bleach for an hour!” —Jon W.

Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two sizes, two scents, and multi-packs).

25. A tub of *iconic* cleaning paste The Pink Stuff because this slightly abrasive paste is literally amazing and can clean all the dirt and grime off any surface that you couldn’t get rid of with any other products (without extra elbow grease)!!Former BuzzFeed writer Britt Ross has this and says, “Check out yours truly using it three ways on TikTok! 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 the photos 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 one of those cleaning scraper tools to get every last bit off, but as far as general stain removal goes, consider me a FAN.” 

Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 

26. An all-natural scour paste that will quickly become your right hand man when it comes to cleaning. This long-lasting paste is the holy grail of cleaning products — from tile and grout to ovens to sinks to shower to even VEGGIES (yes, it’s safe enough to use on produce!!) — this stuff can do it all.

Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed

BuzzFeed writer Danielle Healy has this and says, “Shortly after moving in to my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 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!”

Promising review: “Buyer beware: don’t buy just one!! Learn from mistake, and buy at least two jars because this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I used it on my textured shower floor and it was EASIER to clean, required less scrubbing, than any other product I’ve used, including CLR. If you have black matte bathroom fixtures, this is the stuff you need. My shower and sink drains look brand new. My other favorite part about this scour paste, is the fact that I don’t need to use any paper towels. Just a wet rag to wipe it all down at the end. I will be buying more jars for myself and to give to my friends because this stuff is absolutely amazing. You won’t regret it!” —littleashleyshortcak

Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (originally $15.95+; available in two sizes).

27. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner because idk if you’ve heard, but those jets can get DISGUSTING…like, never-use-a-shared-tub disgusting.

28. A window blind duster brush that has three blades making it easy to clean two blinds (top and bottom!) at once. That means you will cut your blind cleaning time IN HALF! What’s better than a nifty cleaning product? A nifty cleaning product that saves you time.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+ (available in two colors).

29. A slim cleaning brush to get into all those nooks and crannies no rag has ever gone before. The ultra-thin design makes it the perfect choice for cleaning those hard-to-reach window and door tracks, and the handle works as a scraper for those extra stuck-on messes.Promising review: “This is an amazing set of brushes. Don’t be fooled by the low cost. The brushes are soft and long enough to get into tight spots but firm enough to hold up. They work amazing in those hard-to-clean aluminum window runners and sliding doors. I’ve used them to clean enclosed fan blades, refrigerator vents, etc. They wash easily and with a bit of TLC they hold their shape. Always nice to find something so simple and inexpensive that works so well.” —CNJ
