1. Get ready to tackle your bathroom's toughest stains with this brilliant set of drill brush attachments. These bad boys will save you a ton of time and energy, allowing you to relax on the couch while you binge the hottest shows on Netflix.
AmazonThe white brush is great for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is perfect for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is ideal for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is suited for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is perfect for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is terrific for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.
This awesome gadget is brought to you by Drill Brush, a New York-based small business. Established in 2007, it was founded by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean that wouldn't aggravate his condition.
Amazon Reviews: "These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been renovated yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." -Tom S4TX

7. Save time and energy while keeping your floors sparkling clean with this microfiber spin mop. The spiral wringer takes care of the excess water, giving you a effortless clean while preserving your floors' beauty.
AmazonAmazonAmazon Reviews: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar mop and bucket based on the excellent reviews it received. I am here to add my own positive review. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say, fun?). I mopped the whole first floor of my house, both tile and wood, then tackled the rest, all the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing behind the mop makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I don't have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it! You'll agree." -LauraP320

24. Clean your toilet with ease using this all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet. Just drop one in, let it fizz, and scrub away.
Pardo Naturals is a Black women-owned small business founded by Rita Pardo, which creates natural body, hair, and home products.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "For those who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet - myself included - these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. **The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though this makes me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; they all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It starts fizzing, loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes, so they come away with a light brushing. I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in months, but if you're looking to ditch harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."
Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for just $10.50 (available in seven scents).
