So with that, we bring you ten well-loved household cleaning essentials that come highly recommended by regular Amazon shoppers.
Here are 10 Amazon shopper faves:
This bestselling cleaning product amassed eons of fans on TikTok, and for good reason: You can use this paste just about anywhere in your home — pots, pans, walls, the tub — and it will eliminate any muck and grime. It's like magic!
"This stuff is a COMPLETE miracle worker!" shared one of 117,000 5-star reviewers of this No. 1 bestseller. "I thought our white, marble island countertop was ruined in our brand new house. Our 2-year-old son left hot pink slime on it...needless to say we had a HUGE hot pink stain on our counter. We tried all types of cleaners and this is the only thing that worked!"
Your washing machine needs a little love, too. These eco-friendly tablets deep clean the inside of your washer, and eradicate any lingering smells, grime, and hard water buildup.
"So easy to use," shared a shopper. "I have a 20-year-old top loader that wasn't doing a great job anymore, after I used this product all the laundry is cleaner and smells better. Even the inside of the washer looks new again!"
These scratch-free sponges soften up in hot water, so they can tackle even your most delicate glassware — though when they're rinsed in cold water, they're perfect for sloughing off grime and caked-on foods from your pans.
"What a surprise!" a shopper declared. "They don’t get that moldy gross smell that regular sponges do. They are better at removing filth and grim than a regular sponge (even the enhanced sponges) and I love the design! I have been able to wash every pot handle, soon, and kitchen device with the openings.‘revolutionary product. Not just cute, actually amazing!"
This spot cleaner tackles food, wine, dirt, even stains left behind by pets — and leaves you with a carpet looking just as excellent as it did on the day you unrolled it.
"I consider myself a connoisseur of stain removers," a shopper noted. "With kids and pets, I have had to try them all with varying results. This stuff is a miracle in a bottle. I had my doubts but decided to try it anyway. Holy smokes this stain remover has removed every stain I’ve tried it on."
These dryer balls last for over a thousand loads; they're made entirely out of wool and even shorten drying times.
"I like that they are safe for the environment, I'm not constantly buying costly dryer sheets, plus chemical free!" a shopper shared. "I have skin allergies and I'm able to wear my clothes without worry! Plus, my clothes come out with less wrinkles, the drying time is faster, good for my electric bill, too"
If your bathroom has grout or tile, this power scrubber will make it look just as good as the day you moved in. Use it with the Pink Stuff!
"Was very skeptical, but it was cheap enough so tried it," shared a 5-star shopper. "Used it tonight for first time and it works great! I have very old hard-to-clean tile and it worked quickly!"
These tablets make quick work of limescale and other buildup, plus they get to all the stuff you can't see, like the drain, around the racks, pump and valve.
"The result is 'WOW'!" shared one thrilled shopper of this No. 1 best-seller. "My 7-year-old dishwasher looks like brand new just after using one pill. I have hard water and all the mineral buildup from the water is GONE! I am impressed."
Just attach this tube to your vacuum, and suck up years of accumulated lint.
"I took my vent out and then went to town," shared a shopper. "I cannot believe how much junk this thing removed. Almost a container full! I’m so happy I bought this. Not only is it gratifying hearing all that stuff being sucked up, I know it’s helping my dryer last longer and it’ll be safer for the household."
These cloths are excellent at cleaning windows, mirrors and all other delicate surfaces — even that fancy glassware you only take out for special occasions.
"I love using these to clean my kitchen and they’re easy to wash," a shopper noted. "Just throw them in the washer and they’re ready!"
Clean and polish all your stainless steel appliances with this coconut oil-based spray.
"I cannot get over how well this works!" shared a shopper. "I thought my appliances were past the point of no return. They looked embarrassingly dirty. But this little gem not only shined them to perfection…but it took two seconds and it smells great."
