Soak dingy shower heads in a plastic bag full of vinegar and baking soda (or even easier, a decalcifier) for about one to two hours to remove unwanted buildup and grime. Does this count as bath time for your tub? Asking for a friend.

Natalie Brown / BuzzFeed

Promising review (for the decalcifier): “This really is amazing. I’ve had hard water stains on my shower faucet and handle for about three years. They’ve been pretty much baked in to the point I was shopping for replacements. I applied this directly to a microfiber towel and with a little elbow grease the stains came out. Unreal.” —keith k

Make life a little easier for yourself with a squeegee broom that’ll not only quickly sweep up spills and crumbs, but will collect your hair like an absolute champ. Anyone with long hair…you know what I mean when I say your rug could use it. No more digging up hair with your hands.


Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

My BuzzFeed Shopping colleague (Emma Lord) loves this genius tool! Here’s a bit of what she has to say about it: “An embarrassing confession: my hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it. In fact, to make matters worse, weird particles get stuck in the hair on the floor, which is stuck to the carpet, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling it up GOBS of hair. My carpet like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will.”

Scrub rust, surface scratches, burnt grease, and even Sharpie marks away with surprising ease thanks to some Bar Keepers Friend multi-purpose cleaning solution. If you have a daunting task (hello, worn-down sink), this is most likely the solution.

Reviewer's before-and-after of dirty, scratched up sink and then totally smooth sink


amazon.com

Promising review: “I was so bummed when I scratched up my pretty white sink with pots and pans. I thought I’d need to have it replaced or try to sand it and refinish it somehow, but I bought this stuff as a last ditch effort to fix it myself. It takes some elbow grease to make them go away, the scratches don’t just wipe off, but if you scrub at them for a few minutes they melt away pretty quickly. After two rounds my sink looks nearly brand-new again. It also worked on a few mineral stains in my bathtub that I thought were permanent after soft scrub failed to remove them. Again, a little of this stuff, the scrubby side of a blue sponge, a little bit of effort and they were gone!” —Dan Borden

It can also work on toilets, tiles, shower doors, really anything that’s been affected by hard water!

Promising review: “I’m impressed. I thought the container was small for the price, but a little bit goes a long way. It takes a lot for me to review, but this is worth it. Five years in the hardest calcium-filled water and this is the first cleaner to remove it. I’ve tried scrubbing, only to scratch the surface. Every time I fill the water and ice at the fridge, I’m impressed by the result. I could see this working best, right at first.” —Joshua N. Dufek

Promising review: “This product exceeded expectations. Without even rubbing it in, it instantly refreshed the woodwork in my house, and in fact made the walnut stain look richer and better than it did when new. I tested it on a baseboard that was dusty and dirty (and which I should have cleaned first) and was surprised to see an immediate, excellent result. After cleaning the rest of the baseboard and then applying the orange oil, it all looks better than brand new and has not faded or evaporated over the last two weeks.

Promising review: “I am honestly disturbed at the string of hair and goo that just came out of my shower drain. I have been trying to clear my drain for months, frequently pouring several pots of boiling hot water down my drain because I could not stop water from collecting at the bottom of my shower. I had tried other similar products to remove hair from the drain or collect it before it drained, but nothing worked. After using this, my only concern now is how much I feel like a creature knowing that I apparently shed more than my boyfriend’s dog and have been collecting goo in my drains that was probably mixed into the water sitting in the bottom of my tub while I showered. This is the best product that I’ve bought in a long time that was less than two dollars. I would definitely recommend this product!” —Amazon Customer

Even though we change our bed sheets regularly, there will be dust left over. So I decided to give this a try and they were right! I couldn’t believe how many mites and how much dust there was. I took my time cleaning everyone’s bed and our sofa which was easy to use and light. My son haven’t had a reaction in a while for means this product works for my family!” —Lisa

They’re great for windows or any glassware, too!

Promising review: “I couldn’t get my windows clean using cleaning solution, newsprint, and a lot of elbow grease. There were always streaks and dirt left behind. Enter these things. One quick cleaning, and I do mean quick, and my windows are now cleaner than any windows I’ve ever cleaned. It’s simply amazing. We were all standing around in utter shock and delight before running around trying the cloths on other stuff: the TV, the picture glass, etc. I know it sounds corny, but I couldn’t wait to get up this morning, because I woke up in the middle of the night excitedly thinking about trying it on the car today. They are truly, truly amazing.” —Amazon Customer

You’ll get a pair: one for the right hand and one for the left hand.

Promising review: “I’ve been looking for an alternative way to manage my pup’s shedding and all I can say I wish I got these sooner. These gloves showed to be more beneficial all-around compared to the typical brushing. For one, the pup likes it (as opposed to the brush he tried to avoid at every session), so I’m not wasting time any more trying to get him to come here and stay here, etc. Now it’s wagging tails instead at the sight of these gloves. The process is much quicker now, as the gloves gather not only more easily, but I’d say at least twice if not triple the amount of hair at a time. Apparently these gloves work on his mood too, as he always ends up starting a playfight nibbling at the gloves.” —Truffle Shuffle

Take cleaning your mattress to a whole new level by dusting some cleaning powder (baking soda + lavender essential oil) on top, waiting an hour, and then vacuuming it all off. Should you nose dive into your bed immediately after? Of course.

Promising review (for the lavender essential oil): “I am absolutely in love with this! I have purchased and tried so many lavender oils that did not smell like lavender to me. They were too strong. Some smelled bitter and not like lavender at all. This lavender oil is what lavender should smell like! I now use this throughout the entire day and even my kids love it! I am beyond happy with this!” —Joyce Aguero

Scrub your floors without putting in *too* much effort by using a Shark steam mop — reviewers say it’s worth every cent thanks to its ability to streamline deep-cleaning hardwood floors to almost half the usual cleaning time.

It comes with three steam-level controls and a washable double-sided microfiber pad.

Promising review: “OK, I admit it was an impulse buy. Wow, was I shocked when I used it the first time! Three dogs with a doggie door causes paw prints and dirt and it would take me up to three hours to really deep-clean my hardwood floors. From setup to cleaning, getting shiny floors took about 45 minutes! It was super easy and fast deep-cleaning!!! I really do believe whoever created this is a genius! Brilliant!” —Michelle

Get it from Amazon for $99.99, and get two extra microfiber pads for $17.59.
