Bomves Electric Spin Scrubber
“If there's one chore I dread, it's cleaning my shower. Thankfully, I discovered this incredibly handy scrubbing tool that alleviates awkward bending and overexertion. Pros: It comes with eight head attachments, has a long adjustable handle, and charges via a simple USB-C port. My shower actually looks spotless after an easy 15-minute scrub session with this tool.” — Izzy Baskette, shopping writer
Fuiyuqa 3-in-1 Water Bottle Cleaner
“Something I'm guilty of not cleaning enough? My water bottle. Starting this month, however, I'm planning to sanitize my water bottle at least twice a week to eliminate bacteria and mold growth. This adorable tool makes it less taxing thanks to the slim bristles, hook brush, and sharp edge.” — Baskette
Homecourt All-Purpose Surface Cleaner
“I was fortunate enough to interview Homecourt's founder, Courteney Cox, a few years back, and I've been using this surface cleaner religiously ever since. It makes my entire apartment smell like fresh roses (not to mention leaves my counters sparkling clean).” — Madison Yauger, senior shopping editor
Stingray Spot Remover
“When Oprah named this stain remover her first favorite item of 2025, I immediately took notice. She first discovered it after getting chocolate on white pants. A costume designer used it to get the stain out, which was all I needed to hear. Now, I use it on everything from carpets to clothes, and it works with surprisingly little effort. It’s a cleaning essential I didn’t know I needed.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer
Valentise Bamboo Dish Brush Set
“Microplastics in my dishes? Couldn’t be me. I always opt for bamboo instead, and I’ve been loving this five-piece set at Amazon that comes with two pot brushes, a long handle brush, a bottle brush, and an extra brush head. They last about three to four months before needing to be swapped out, and I feel good knowing the materials are made of wood and bamboo.” — Nicol Natale, shopping writer
Swiffer PowerMop
“I use my Swiffer PowerMop weekly to scrub grime off my hardwood and tile floors. It has a wider head than the older Swiffer WetJet, so it covers more ground (literally!), and its micro-scrubbing mop pads seamlessly tackle grime without a ton of elbow grease. The mop pads are also super absorbent, so I can use one to clean my living room, kitchen, and bathroom in one fell swoop.” — Clara McMahon, senior writer & strategist
Casabella Power Spin Handheld Scrubber
“I don't have a dishwasher, which makes washing muffin pans and baked-on messes all the more difficult. Thankfully, this handy tool provides a boost of elbow grease. It has a gentle sponge attachment for nonstick pans, along with a tough scouring pad and brushes for more serious scrubbing.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Sponge
“These magical (as the name suggests) erasers are stocked in my home 24/7. They’re a lifesaver for tubs, sinks, and other grimy surfaces, but I particularly love using them to make scuffed-up shoes look brand new again. Plus, they cost under $2 apiece, so I don’t mind cycling through them quickly.” — Alyssa Grabinski, senior shopping writer
Clorox ToiletWand Disposable Toilet Cleaning System
“Traditional toilet brushes really gross me out. Thanks to this disposable one from Clorox, I can clean my toilet, toss the scrub-pad (hands-free), and live my life without worrying about what kind of gross germs are festering on a toilet brush in my corner.” — Erin Johnson, shopping director
