These days, your home is getting a ton of action. Like a ton. Which somehow means that the dust is collecting 40 times faster, the crumbs have taken over, and you’re constantly wiping down the counter that you literally just wiped. We’re exhausted just typing this. 

Enter: the best products to make your home spotless. We’re talking sparkling, shimmering clean. Little woodland creatures to help you sold separately.

For when you’re tired of standing in a murky puddle while you shampoo…

TubShroom

Remove the clog

$12.97+, Amazon

This drain protector will keep your pipes clean by collecting all the hair you seem to lose while washing. Plus it won’t block water flow. And it takes 0.2 seconds to clean. Quick and painless.

Buy it

For when your toilet brush has seen better days...

ToiletWand

Trash it

$17.76/set of 2, Amazon

And switch to a ToiletWand. Each head is pre-filled with cleaner so you don’t have to reach for an extra bottle. And you can toss the head once you’re done. Aka, no more grimy brush sitting in your bathroom.

Buy it

For when you wanna cook something without oil splattering all over...

FryWall

Use a guard

$16+, Amazon

It’ll sit within the inside of the pan to protect your stovetop. So you don’t have to wipe everything down post-meal. It’s also made of silicone so it can handle high heat. But heads up: double-check your pan size before buying.

Buy it

For when you spill wine on your new tie-dye loungewear...

Stain Remover

Kiss the stain goodbye

$7.94, Amazon

All you’ve gotta do is spray the stain, let it sit for five minutes, then wash. It can also work wonders on coffee, sauce, and ink. Oh, and pet accidents. A true lifesaver.

For when you’ve got a dust bunny hanging out underneath your bed...

Dust Glove

Reach for it

$14.99, Amazon

With this glove. It’ll help you hit all those random and tricky places your Swiffer can’t get to. Including blinds and furniture legs. Just wet the glove with water to get started.

Buy it

For when you’ve got a crumb collection on either side of your stove...

Gap Covers

Fill the gap

$10.95+, Amazon

These covers prevent food scraps from falling down the abyss that exists between your stove and countertop. You know the one. Your hand can never reach there. Nor does any broom. We hope last week’s spaghetti is living a nice life down there.

Buy it

For when you create a mini lake in your bathroom while showering...

Shower Clips

Clip the curtain

$8.99/set of 4, Amazon

These peel-and-stick clips will do the job you desperately need done: hold your shower curtain in place. See ya never, soaked floor.

For when your reusable water bottle starts tasting funky...

Bottle Bright

Drop a tablet in

$8/set of 12, Amazon

And watch it fizz. Each one is made of a mix of natural ingredients to rid of germs and odors. So each sip will taste fresh. Hi, hydration.

Buy it

For when your blueberry pie decides to drip all over the oven...

Oven Liners

Rude. Use a mat

$12.45, Amazon

Like one that can be trimmed to fit your oven perfectly. And that can be easily removed for cleaning. And that can double as a baking sheet. Need we say more?

Buy it

For when your glassware comes out looking spotty...

Dishwasher Tablets

Clear the build-up

$5.99, Amazon

Your dishwasher is jealous of all the cleaning and wants a turn. Drop in a tablet to power away leftover detergent and mineral build-up. So next time your dishes and glasses will be streak-free. Spotless.
