1. An instant carpet spot remover spray, so when your bestie accidentally drips salsa off of their chip and onto your carpet you can say "no biggie" and actually mean it. Promising review: "I have a white couch and my dog loves to jump up after being outside. Sometimes she has mud on her paws and this product removes the stains COMPLETELY. We’ve had red wine and spaghetti sauce spilled on it and zero trace is left after using this. Best part, my couch fabric doesn’t get damaged by the chemicals either. I’ve ordered 12 of these and we have one in every room and in our cars. Hands-down nothing beats this spray. I’ve tried pet stain removers, DIY recommendations, stuff with vinegar... only this product works. Pay the cost for this! It’s totally worth it! 100 stars if I could." — Lauren R. Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 2. Shower door cleaner you can count on to make your door shine like the top of the Chrysler building — not that either of us have been up there, so we'll just have to take someone else's word for it. Promising review: "I recently moved into a new apartment that was very clean. Except my walk-in shower doors. They were in abysmal shape and made my entire bathroom look embarrassingly unkempt. The lime deposits were thick and stubborn; the doors had clearly not been thoroughly cleaned for a long time. After one application and touching up a couple of small but particularly encrusted areas, my doors looked like new ... the glass seemed to disappear entirely!" — SoundByte Get it from Amazon for $11.65 . 3. Rubbermaid's power scrubbing brush , for when you want to give your grout an all-inclusive spa treatment and bring it back to its squeaky-clean glory. These attachments get deep into the crevices that scrubbing by hand simply won't do. Promising review : "The Power Scrubber is life changing. I bought it several weeks ago with the intention of doing a deep clean 'sometime soon.' After an overflowing toilet incident, I had to make sure it got done right away. MY GROUT HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANER. I used some Comet and spray cleaner to get the job done, but this made short work for what typically requires 'a lot of elbow grease' and a spent toothbrush. With this tool, you really know you're getting in there and it's clean. I can't recommend this enough — I've already mentioned it to a neighbor, and a few friends, including one fanatical cleaner. We all agreed, it's such a necessary, perfect product." — Jojo Get it from Amazon for $19.98 . Check out our full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review . 4. A scrubber brush you can attach to your drill (!!!) to help you clean your tub/shower like you've never cleaned it before but without the arm workout. You'll be singing "I've got the powerrrr" in no time! The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Additionally, Drill Brush is a small business based in New York! Promising review: "I've been eyeing these for a few months and finally caved. Man do I regret not picking them up as soon as I saw them! They work GREAT! We rent an apartment that has a 30+ year old shower/tub. I've used everything from abrasive powders, gels that sit to most recently the bathroom Magic Erasers and nothing really got the grime out. These WORK and they work fast. Just 10 minutes with my handy drill and the shower has never been cleaner. I love that I don't have to throw money out on cleaning products anymore and that I can be a little more environmentally friendly with no waste and no chemical cleaners! Just a little dish soap, baking soda and a spin of the brush. If you're on the fence, just buy them!" — Becky Adie Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six strength types). 5. A trio of Bar Keepers Friend products to help you clean any and every surface of your living space (bathroom included) — trust me on this. My husband and I moved into our first house a few years ago — when I tell you I have used some form of Bar Keepers Friend to tackle every crevice of this house please know that I'm not exaggerating. I've used it to revive the floor of our bathroom (see above), the shower, the tub, the entire kitchen sink, the outside of the washing machine and dryer....the list goes on. It's incredible how effective this product is in just a few moments! It really is a life changing product that'll help you clean every inch of your home. Additionally, Bar Keepers Friend is a small business! Promising review: "This is a good brand of cleaning products. I clean the bathroom with it, plus my cookware. I expect to buy this product again." — Carmen E. Leon Get it from Amazon for $30.45 . 6. An "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner you can count on to save your butt the next time you heat sauce and it explodes all over (oops). Fill her with vinegar and water and watch as she blows hot steam into your microwave oven to loosen up all the old food and stains. Wipe it clean and move on with your life! Check out a Tiktok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" — Desiree Barlow Get it from Amazon for $11.88+ (available in four colors). 7. A putty-like cleaning gel that'll help you remove all the dust and debris from the hard-to-reach crevices in your car. Psh, and to think you were going to PAY someone to clean out your car. Promising review: "This product works just as intended. I was afraid it would become dirty and unusable quickly but it has held up well. I also found myself using it as a stress ball/fidget tool while driving too and from work." — Samantha Get it from Amazon for $5.99 . 8. A 100 percent natural oven scrub you can rely on to finally remove any grease or leftover sauces from inside your most used appliance. You're welcome. It also comes with a metallic scrubber! Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products. Promising review: "I am blown away by this product! There have been things I’ve tried to clean with other harsh chemicals and they never worked. Everneat combined with the scouring sponge has been a game changer. My sink and my oven look like new!" — Jessica Get it from from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three scents). 9. A cleaning brush that'll assist in removing dirt and scuffs from suede and Nubuck materials — you better believe Elvis could've used one of these bad boys for his beloved blue suede shoes 😉. Shacke is a small business! Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but I just received this, and it's amazing. I had a grease stain on my new Uggs that I was so sad about. Corn starch almost ruined them. This brush minimized (if not totally removed) the stain. I love that no chemicals are involved, and it's pure magic. I'll use this on all of my suede shoes moving forward. Get it!" — Jennifer Get it from Amazon for $6.49 . 10. A dryer vent cleaner attachment that'll pull all of the hard-to-reach pieces of lint out of your dryer. I truly can't think of anything more satisfying, TBH. Not to mention, this should ABSOLUTELY be part of your cleaning routine — trapped lint is a fire hazard! This adapter is compatible with most vacuum cleaner pipes, so all you have to do is attach it to your vacuum and guide it around your dryer to suck up excess and hard-to-reach lint. Too much lint buildup not only slows down the drying process, it's also a fire hazard, so this handy device can actually be considered a safety tool! Promising review: "Yes, we had a sock in our dryer vent!! This past summer, the lint trap broke on our dryer. Our kids ran the dryer regardless! What a disaster. Received my vacuum kit today, and now my clothes are dry! I sucked up the sock, as well as a piece of lint roller tape. Great product!" — Laurel Enoch Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (originally $19.99; available in five colors) — don't forget to apply the coupon to save $2! 11. A giant lint roller on a stick you'll find yourself reaching for time and time again — especially before guests arrive. It'll let you remove all the pet hair and lint from your furniture without having to bend and struggle to get to hard-to-reach spots. Promising review: "I am truly amazed at this device! All the nasty dust that was on my popcorn ceiling (I own a mid-century home and haven’t gotten rid of the popcorn ceiling just yet). The amount of dust was getting out of control, and everything I tried didn’t work — paper towels just snagged on the ceiling, and a vacuum was way too heavy and awkward. This got my ceiling sparkling clean in about five minutes! I used it on my walls as well! I love it and highly recommend it if you have popcorn ceilings as well!" — Marea Celentano Get it from Amazon for $23.85 . Don't forget to apply the 22% off coupon at checkout! 12. A Little Green HydroSteam Cleaner you can use to tackle a whole slew of messes on a deeper level — it's portable and designed to clean upholstery, carpet, tile, and your car. Seriously, what *can't* this lil' gadget do? I tested this bad boy out on the white tile in my entryway (which gets super dirty from everyone walking in/out of that area all the time) and my husband and I were blown away! The Little Green HydroSteam did an awesome job making our tile look new again. My husband said it felt very therapeutic going over each tile and watching how fresh they looked after just one pass with this vacuum. One of our friends stopped by and even commented on how clean the tile looked — a win in my book. I feel very confident one of our kids will inevitably spill something terrible on one of our rugs or couches, but I don't have to stress knowing we'll have this tool on-hand to help clean it up. Promising review: "The Bissell Little Green HydroSteam Multipurpose Portable Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner is a game-changer! I've been using it to clean my car, furniture, and carpets, and it's been amazing. I used it when my 6-year-old decided to squish his banana in the carpet and it made clean up so quick. I love that I can use both steam and cleaner at the same time, or just steam on its own. The powerful suction and quick heating time make cleaning a breeze. The sleek design and large capacity are also big pluses. It's perfect for anyone with kids, pets, or adults who are prone to spills!" — Allison Get it from Amazon for $179.95 . 13. A MudBuster paw cleaner to try and get ahead of the game — use it to wipe down your pup's lil' pads before they scamper throughout your house post-snowy walk. Promising review : "I’ve been using this for a few weeks, and I love it. It cleans the salt off my dogs’ paws so easily. When it’s super dirty, and the streets are covered in salt, I’ll refresh the water supply. I add a few drops of their doggie shampoo, and it works great. It is so easy to use. I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10–15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus, the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs up!" — Sandra Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in sizes S–L and six colors). 14. A portable car vacuum that'll help you battle the seemingly endless amount of crumbs that somehow make their way in between your seats despite the fact you rarely eat in your car. Promising review: "I was a little skeptical at first seeing all the mixed reviews but I wish I had taken a pic of my driver side cause that was the worst of it but there was a lot of buildup from me just not having the time or energy to clean my car but this vacuum is AMAZING! You can see the clear difference between those two photos. 11/10 would HIGHLY recommend." — Kayla Get it from Amazon for $33.97 . 15. Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray you'll be very glad you bought after you let your kiddo eat spaghetti in public for the first time — trust me. Promising review: "My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. Stains were 2–3 days old too. I sprayed shirt, let it sit for about 15 mins and then washed shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!" — Sloan Avery Get it from Amazon for $6.19+ (available in a variety of quantities) 16. A set of Bottle Bright tablets that'll bring your favorite thermos back to its original shiny state. Your go-to coffee mug will shine brighter than North Star. Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.99 . 17. A microfiber spin mop and bucket with over 150,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, which is kinda wild because it's a MOP. My husband asked for this mop for Father's Day and has been telling everyone in his life about it ever since. He adores it! It's so easy to use, it's lightweight, and he has no issue squeezing the water out with the spin tool. It's worked wonders on our wood floors! Promising review: "I never thought a mop could change my life! This mop cuts at least a half hour off my cleaning time and since I can ring it out so well it does a fabulous job on my hardwood floors without worrying about puddles of water which could do damage! The triangular design is great for corners too! I also like how I can toss the head in the washing machine to clean it. I would highly recommend this mop!" — kheiser67 Get it from Amazon for $34.97 . 18. Or washable microfiber mop pads you can use with your Swiffer WetJet , in case you don't want to invest in another mop and know you can easily make do with the one you've already got! One pad can last up to 100 washes and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone. Turbo Mops is a small business! Promising review: "These are life changing. I used a Rubbermaid spray mop for years that I never really loved and when it broke I got a Swiffer and was using the old Rubbermaid mop cloth pads with it still. They didn't fit the Swiffer great and I decided to get new ones. These scrub so much better and pick up way more dirt than my other mop pad. I have two dogs and their dried water and drool is around the kitchen and I used to have to scrub to get that up each time. Not with these pads! I never thought I'd swoon over a cleaning product but...here we are :). " — JB Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.99 . 19. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff , which is an all-purpose cleaning paste that'll help you tackle all of your messes but make it *~pretty in pink~* at the same time. After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast iron pan (seen above, right) and really was amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush ) took off almost every stain! I can't wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning. Promising review: "Honestly, I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house, and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course, I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say, I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with the use of a hard bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets . I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay . It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet, so we’ll see how that goes. Over all very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" — Marissa Get it from Amazon for $5.97 . 20. A garbage-disposal foaming cleaner to scrub away the stinky grime that builds up on the blades and in the pipes. Look at that foam go! Promising review: "We moved into a townhouse that had a garbage disposal in the kitchen. Never had one growing up and didn't think too much about it until the funky smell started. I researched ways to clean it and came across these. Decided to order a four-pack and try them. THEY ARE LIFE CHANGING. Just run some water, toss the packet in, and turn on the disposal. The little packet does all the hard work for you. I order a new set as soon as we start to run low." — lucas broshears Get it from Amazon for $3.78 . 21. A set of cleaning K-Cups that'll rinse away all the coffee grounds from your past beverages and ensure your next ones taste fresher than ever. Quick & Clean is a small business! Promising review: "I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and I especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use... I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results ...VERY HAPPY!!" — Corey West Get it from Amazon for $9.95 . 22. A pack of disposable shower hair catchers to place directly over your drain and toss in the trash when you're done with it — you won't have to to think about all the gunk and germs that might linger on a more permanent hair catcher. Aire Allure is a small business! Promising review: "I saw these on TikTok and bought them when I was visiting family. Tried them out and left a few behind for family and sent a few home with family — everyone is now ordering them and using them. They work great. Each one is on its own plastic shield. Just peel off and center onto your floor drain. I leave mine on for two to three weeks. I'm the only one using my shower, but if it's a shared shower probably wouldn't last that long. It's still a great way to catch hair before going down the drain, because we all know, people say they use the traps but they really don't. A must-have!!" — C. Crocker Get a pack of 25 from Amazon for $10.99 (also available in packs of 50 and and 100). 23. A bag of FryAway cooking oil solidifier — a seemingly magical substance you can sprinkle on top of your grease-coated pan and watch as it turns to a solid. No more waiting ages for it to cool, having to grossly scrape it out of your pan with a paper towel, or accidentally clogging your pipes. FryAway is a US-based small business specializing in planet-friendly cooking waste solutions. Promising review: "I will always keep this stocked in my house! My husband sent me a TikTok, I know I know, and I thought it couldn't hurt to try it out. I loved after the first night! I could easily remove the hardened oil and throw it out." — Roberta Get it from Amazon for $9.97 . 24. A pumice cleaning stone you can count on to make your toilet actually sparkle like a porcelain throne. Powerstone is a small business! Promising review: "This product has far exceeded my expectations. We have well water and often get water stains even with an advanced water filtration system. I clean the toilets with bleach-heavy toilet cleaners at least biweekly. I was always left with a ‘ring’ that I thought just came with well-water toilets. Well. This has changed my life, really. I scrubbed one toilet in less than 10 minutes, and it’s basically brand new. No more nasty toilet rings!! Just try it! BTW I never usually leave reviews, but this thing has made me so happy!! I will never be without this product!" — Nicole Get it from Amazon for $13.99 . 25. An automatic cleaning toilet bowl cartridge to pop into the top of your tank — it'll last up to three months and clean with every single flush. Now that's a cleaning product worth testing out. Promising review: "This works absolutely phenomenal. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clockwork to remove mold or something...Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Koehler new low flush systems...amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts, either, like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." — CdrW Get it from Amazon for $10.59 . 26. Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for anyone with an adorable furry friend who is still learning how to control their bladder — this will help banish evidence of accidents (and the lingering smell that goes along with it). Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money. " — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96 . 27. Affresh cleaning tablets you can toss into your dishwasher and easily get rid of that yucky smell that seems to appear after a few washes — it'll banish lime and mineral build-up and leave your dishes nice 'n' clean. I have these tablets and use them all the time! They work especially great after the bottom of my dishwasher has gotten stained with residue from detergent or rusty-looking liquid after I've run my baking sheets through the wash. I love knowing I can just pop one into the dishwasher 1, 2, 3, and end up with a clean machine. Promising review: "After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get it from Amazon for $8.98 . 28. A box of washing machine cleaning tablets that'll easily remove any odor-causing residue from inside your machine — you don't want your clothes to smell, do ya? Promising review: "This product works great. My clothes were starting to get the damp smell after washing them. I put a tablet in to clean my washer and it works great. The odor from my washer disappeared. Will definitely buy again and recommend to others" — maria phillips Get it from Amazon for $11.66 . 29. Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray , which smells so freakin' good you might just get distracted from how wonderfully it works! All you'll have to do is spray it onto caked-on food and grease, wait a lil', then rinse or wipe it away to reveal a perfectly clean pan. I'm actually obsessed with this product. I use it on my frying pans and the grill pans from my Griddler (which are ALWAYS a pain to clean). It loosens all the gunk and makes it much easier to clean burnt bits and pieces off. It also really does smell incredible — very fresh and delightful! I've even seen a friend use it to immediately remove a coffee stain from a white sweater. It's incredible. Promising review: "This is the best partner in the kitchen!! You need it now and always. Great for hard stains and even for a quick clean . I always have backups that never run out. RUN DON'T WALK TO ADD THIS PRODUCT TO YOUR CART RIGHT NOW." — Carlos G Get it from Amazon for $19.27 for a bundle. 30. A soap-dispensing brush that might just make you want to clean your dishes — it looks kinda fun, doesn't it? It'll help you clean off any gross bits of food, so even if you don't have time to toss your dishes into the dishwasher (or you simply don't own one!) the lingering leftovers won't cause a smell in your kitchen. Promising review: "I'm loving this little brush. I had purchased another dish brush a while back from the grocery store and the bristles were so stiff that it often splattered soap everywhere. This one isn't like that. The bristles are stiff, but soft enough that they tend to cling to what you're brushing, so they don't cause that splatter effect. I also like that you can open the whole thing up by taking its top off to refill it, giving you plenty of room to pour in the dish soap. The ability to easily remove and replace the brush is another very handy feature. Both are easy to do and it's well made, so they're not likely to come open or undone unexpectedly." — Elliria Get it from Amazon for $8.99 . 31. A handheld dog shower attachment you can use to host an at-home spa day for you and your pup and prevent your doggo from stinking up the whole place. Who says a day of pampering should only be for us humans? This easy-to-use pet wand will help you shower your dog with love (and water) from the comfort of your home. My dog used to hate the car, so taking all 80 pounds of him to the groomer was often a struggle (to say the least). By using this attachment we were able to clean up him up without feeling anxious. The unique wand is curved to provide full coverage while washing your pet. It also has an 8-foot-long flexible hose for extended reach and be used indoors or outdoors. Promising review: "Our dogs hate baths, so bathing them was always a time-consuming hassle. With this product, it’s quick and easy! Our dogs are working dogs that are out in public all day every day, so we have to keep them looking, smelling and feeling clean to the touch. This product makes that easy for us and our dogs. I would definitely buy it again (but it will probably last for decades) and have already recommended it to family and friends." — Jonah 1:3 Get it from Amazon for $39.99 . 32. A silicone toilet brush with a sturdy drain-cleaning tweezer hidden inside the handle, perfect for helping you keep your bowl clean and assist you in removing the inevitable clumps of gag-worthy, wet hair that always find its way into your drain and smells so bad. Promising review: "I needed a new toilet brush that would fit in a confined space and didn't tip over easily. The BOOMJOY toilet brush is stylish — if that is an adjective that can be used to describe a toilet brush — functional, and compact. The silicone bristles seem to do the job they were designed to do." — Snowlady Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 colors). 33. Or a Clorox ToiletWand you can use and then toss away — say SEE YA' to that gross toilet brush hiding in the corner of your bathroom. It'll leave your toilet smelling fresh as a daisy, since there is Clorox literally built right into it. I own and cherish this product. It's a dream knowing the "brush" is fresh and hasn't been intimate with the inside of my toilet prior to my picking it up again. This set comes with the wand and 16 refills. Promising review: "The primary reason I decided to purchase the Clorox Toilet Wand was so I could clean under my toilet rims, which I noticed was definitely getting neglected via using the standard toilet brushes to clean. Initially, I was looking for a toilet brush that had the shape needed to actually GET under the rim, and that's how I found out about it. Now that I've used it... I can say without a doubt that'll I'll never go back to a regular brush. I like the cleanliness of the disposable brushes as opposed to a regular toilet brush. And I especially like that I don't have to purchase a second brush with a shape capable of cleaning under the rim, which not only takes up more space, but also would take more time given I'd have to switch back and forth and apply product. With this, I can just clean the entire pot in less than five minutes with the same tool." — Brittney Nelson Get it from Amazon for $18.61 . 34. And a magnificent toilet cleaning gel stamp from Scrubbing Bubbles, so when you finally get around to thoroughly cleaning your bowl it'll do the heavy lifting until the next time you think to yourself "when was the last time I cleaned this thing?" and release a fresh scent each time you flush. I have this product and it really does work! It took me a minute to figure out how to apply it, but after reading the enclosed directions it was a cinch! You quite literally stamp it into the inside of the toilet bowl and leave it be. It smells super refreshing for a long time — as if you've cleaned your toilet every time you flush. Promising review: "Okay I was so confused when I opened this but honestly it’s easy to use and after I completely deep cleaned my bathroom, I tried one of these stamps on my toilet. I was sooo skeptical and was confused how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get a set of six from Amazon for $4.74 . 35. A Door-Doc — an odor-preventing front load washer door prop that'll keep yours opened *just* enough to ensure it doesn't get a funky, mold-like smell inside. Door-Doc is a small business! You can see it in action on TikTok . Promising review: "This is amazing, a simple tool that has helped kill off the smell from my washer. My washer when not closed would swing all the way open, not just a crack. This bad boy leaves it open a few inches so it breathes. The magnet is sturdy enough to hold the door in place but easy enough to pop off if you gently pull the door open." — Sherry S. Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two colors). 36. A pet hair remover with a unique patented brush design that'll let you invite guests to sit down without fear of them being covered head-to-toe in your dog's hair. ChomChom is a small business! You can also snag a mini version for on-the-go hair removal emergencies. Promising reviews: "The ChomChom Roller really works. I have two German Shepherds who shed SO much, so this was necessary. The ChomChom Roller picked up SO much fur the vacuum couldn’t." — Ezra Gordon "I've had it in my possession for like two hours, and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers. It's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." — Meowser Get it from Amazon for $24.95 . 37.

A jetted-tub cleaner that'll pump out all of the gunk from inside your tub's jets, which always seem to leave the bathroom smelling a bit mildewed if you go too long without cleaning it. It's disgusting but oh-so-satisfying when its done! I personally can vouch for how amazing this product is. I watched with my own eyes as it magically cleared out the grossness from my previous apartment's jetted tub pipes. It's pretty disgusting and incredible. Reviewers, like this one , also love that the product doesn't have a chemical smell. Oh Yuk is a small business! Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!

An earth-friendly bathroom cleaner made with tea tree oil (which smells so good) — it'll prevent soap and scum stains on every surface. Simply spray it after your shower (no need to wipe it off) and let it get to work while you dry off and go about your day. I've tested this out in my own bathtub and was blown away by how much unseen gunk came off (seen above, right). I sprayed it and wiped it off like three times before I was satisfied with the cleanliness of my tub — I blame my toddler, who thrives on playing in the dirt. Anyways, it did a great job and I love that it doesn't have an intense chemical smell to it. Promising review: "This spray works! I only write a review if I’m really happy with something or really disappointed and I appreciate all whom write reviews. I have been using this spray for a week since cleaning my shower doors and there is NO SCUM. Still looks clean after a week. Usually by the third day my glass shower doors look dirty." — G. Guill Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.82 . 40. A bottle of mold and mildew remover , so your bathroom's grout can resemble the likes of that fabulous resort you've been eyeing for your next tropical vacation. Your bathroom is going to smell incredibly clean once you've removed all that lingering gunk. There wasn't a lot of ventilation in my apartment bathroom, so the grout used to get gunky and gross-looking from the humidity. I had been battling this specific bathroom grime for weeks and tried a whole array of products to no avail. Finally, I purchased Skylarlife Home Mold and Mildew Remover Gel. The results were outstanding. It’s super simple: put on a pair of gloves and apply the clear gel around your grout. Let it sit for five to six hours (I suggest opening all your windows, it’s got a strong smell) then rinse it off with cold water. Promising review: "Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products, with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. 1,000% worth the (small) investment. " — Nicole D. Get it from Amazon for $14.99 . 41. A pet stain and odor remover , so when your furry friend gets a little too excited that you just got home and decides to pee all over your shoes, it's sort of OK. Promising review: "This is one product that really delivers. It was put to the test when our pup had several bouts of diarrhea on the cream/gray woven wool rug in our bedroom. The stains had several hours to soak in before we discovered them. I’ve posted both before and after photos. Although I had to spray and blot with a towel multiple times, the stains are virtually gone. The scent of Rocco & Roxie is pleasant, and all traces of the nasty smell are gone. If you have an indoor pet, you NEED to buy this stuff. It cleans better than anything I’ve used before." — msgrafix Get it from Amazon for $19.31 . 42. And an absolutely incredible Samsung Bespoke Jet AI cordless stick vacuum that'll magically adjust each time you glide over a different floor type. Home filled with a mix of carpet, wood, and tile? No worries! This baby will beautifully clean 'em all. As a shopping editor, I have tried out A LOT of vacuums. This one is definitely at the top of my list. It's *very* lightweight, cleans beautifully, and holds a charge for up to 100 minutes. The "AI" feature makes it so when I move from one room to the next, the suction is immediately optimized for whichever flooring is in that room. It's quite incredible to experience IRL. I absolutely love that I only have to click one button to get it going instead of holding a trigger for the duration of my cleaning sesh — a game changer. However, the feature that has truly amazed me is the all-in-one cleaning station. Once I dock the vacuum back in its little home, it promptly empties out ALL of the dust/debris/dirt into a separate container, so I don't have to clean it out after each use. It's a splurge, but it's definitely worth it. Get it from Amazon for $816.92+ (available in midnight blue and white).

The King and the Prime Minister have paid tribute to Jimmy Carter following the former US president’s death on Sunday aged 100. In a message to the American people, the King expressed “great sadness” at the news of Mr Carter’s death, describing him as “a committed public servant” who “devoted his life to promoting peace and human rights”. He added: “His dedication and humility served as an inspiration to many, and I remember with great fondness his visit to the United Kingdom in 1977. “My thoughts and prayers are with President Carter’s family and the American people at this time.” Mr Carter, a former peanut farmer, served one term in the White House between 1977 and 1981 and spent his post-presidency years as a global humanitarian, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002. Sir Keir Starmer said Mr Carter had “lived his values in the service of others to the very end” through “decades of selfless public service”. Praising a “lifelong dedication to peace” that saw him win the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002, Sir Keir added: “Motivated by his strong faith and values, President Carter redefined the post-presidency with a remarkable commitment to social justice and human rights at home and abroad.” Tributes to Mr Carter followed the announcement of his death by his family on Sunday, more than a year after he decided to enter hospice care. His son, Chip Carter, said: “My father was a hero, not only to me but to everyone who believes in peace, human rights, and unselfish love.” US President Joe Biden, one of the first elected politicians to endorse Mr Carter’s bid for the presidency in 1976, said the world had “lost an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian”. He said: “Over six decades, we had the honour of calling Jimmy Carter a dear friend. But, what’s extraordinary about Jimmy Carter, though, is that millions of people throughout America and the world who never met him thought of him as a dear friend as well. “With his compassion and moral clarity, he worked to eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” Other UK politicians also paid tribute to Mr Carter. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said he was “an inspiration” who “led a truly remarkable life dedicated to public service with a genuine care for people”. Scottish First Minister John Swinney described the former president as “a good, decent, honest man who strove for peace in all that he did”, while Welsh First Minister said he was “a remarkable man” and “a humanitarian and scholar”. Former prime minister Sir Tony Blair said Mr Carter’s “life was a testament to public service”. He added: “I always had the greatest respect for him, his spirit and his dedication. He fundamentally cared and consistently toiled to help those in need.” Mr Carter is expected to receive a state funeral featuring public observances in Atlanta, Georgia, and Washington DC before being buried in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. A moderate democrat born in Plains in October 1924, Mr Carter’s political career took him from the Georgia state senate to the state governorship and, finally, the White House, where he took office as 39th president in the wake of the Watergate scandal and the Vietnam War. His presidency saw economic disruption amid volatile oil prices, along with social tensions at home and challenges abroad including the Iranian revolution that sparked a 444-day hostage crisis at the US embassy in Tehran. But he also brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel, which led to a peace treaty between the two countries in 1979. After his defeat in the 1980 presidential election, he worked more than four decades leading The Carter Centre, which he and his late wife Rosalynn co-founded in 1982 to “wage peace, fight disease, and build hope”. Under his leadership, the Carter Center virtually eliminated Guinea Worm disease, which has gone from affecting 3.5 million people in Africa and Asia in 1986 to just 14 in 2023. Mrs Carter, who died last year aged 96, had played a more active role in her husband’s presidency than previous first ladies, with Mr Carter saying she had been “my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished”. Earlier this year, on his 100th birthday, Mr Carter received a private congratulatory message from the King, expressing admiration for his life of public service

Australia’s second innings has come to an early end on Day 5 with India’s superstar bowler Jasprit Bumrah firing down a stunning delivery to bowl Nathan Lyon for 41. Bumrah took out Lyon’s middle stump and ended Australia’s innings at 234 with India now chasing 340 for victory (and a series win). Watch the final day from 9.30am AEDT live and free on Seven and 7plus . Earlier, Australian players had kept their cards close to their chest about whether they would bat on or make an overnight declaration. But when Lyon and Scott Boland walked out to the middle of the MCG, the mystery was finally solved. However, with a healthy lead already established and a record run chase required for an India victory, the decision not to start Day 5 on the field mystified many. “I’m a bit surprised to be honest,” Aussie legend and star Seven commentator Ricky Ponting said. “I thought Australia would have pulled the pin and declared and got as much at India as they could today give themselves the best chance of winning the game. “They’re 333 runs ahead. We know it will be an all- time record if (they get that target). They have their reasons for it, having India in the field longer (and) as you know we have a slightly longer day today as well.” When commentator Tim Lane saw the Australians walking out to bat, he said “the answer to the question that has hung in the air overnight” had been answered. But Lane admitted a draw in this Test was “largely in India’s interest”. “That would mean Australia have to win the Test in Sydney (to win the series),” Lane said. MATCH CENTRE: All the stats from the Boxing Day Test “We’re told that there is rain hanging around up in the Harbour City.” Former Victorian wicketkeeper Darren Berry was equally mystified by the “pointless” decision to bat on. “What a waste of time that was and more importantly six vital overs to win the game were just burnt by that pointless decision,” Berry said on social media. “It may not matter in the wash up and I hope seriously hope it doesn’t but boy, if it does, then serious questions must be asked. Why oh why?” Bumrah finished the innings with 5-57 and nine wickets for the match. If India win, they will go 2-1 up in the series and, as the reigning champions, they will retain the Border-Gavaskar trophy regardless of the result in the fifth Test next week. But the highest successful Test run chase at the ground was nearly a century ago, when England made 7-332 to beat Australia in 1928. India do have the ability and the resilience to make big scores on the final day. In 2021 at the Gabba, they posted 7-329 to win the fourth Test against Australia and claim the series. There are also concerns about Australia’s bowling attack with Mitch Starc in need of physio attention during Day 3 and reaching for his back while bowling. Starc bowled 25 overs and went without a wicket in India’s first innings. Meanwhile, allrounder Mitch Marsh has been under an injury cloud, as well, and has been used sparingly with the ball. The veteran allrounder entered the series on the back of a period of rest following the birth of his first child and pulled up from the opening Test with a sore back.

Alex Ovechkin has a broken left fibula and is expected to be out four to six weeks, an injury that pauses the Washington Capitals superstar captain’s pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s NHL career goals record. The Capitals updated Ovechkin’s status Thursday after he was evaluated by team doctors upon returning from a three-game trip. The 39-year-old broke the leg in a shin-on-shin collision Monday night with Utah’s Jack McBain, and some of his closest teammates knew it was not good news even before Ovechkin was listed as week to week and placed on injured reserve. “Everyone’s bummed out,” said winger Tom Wilson, who has played with Ovechkin since 2013. “We were sitting there saying: ‘This is weird. Like, it’s unbelievable that he’s actually hurt.’ It’s one of those things where like, he’s going to miss games? I’ve been around a long time, and it’s new to me.” Ovechkin in his first 19 seasons missed 59 games — and just 35 because of injury. Durability even while throwing his body around with his physical style is a big reason he is on track to pass Gretzky’s mark of 894 goals that once looked unapproachable. “He doesn’t go out there and just coast around,” Wilson said. “He’s played 20 years every shift running over guys and skating. He’s a power forward, the best goal-scorer ever maybe, and he’s a power forward that plays the game really hard.” Ovechkin surged to the top of the league with 15 goals in his first 18 games this season. He was on pace to break the record and score No. 895 sometime in February. “You know when goal-scorers start scoring, it’s dangerous,” said defenseman John Carlson, who has been teammates with Ovechkin since 2009-10. “There was a bit of that in the downs that everyone was feeling about it too, of course. We see him coming to the rink every day, we know what’s at stake. You never want anyone to get injured, but there’s a lot to it and certainly he was playing his best hockey in years.” ___ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl Stephen Whyno, The Associated Press

Romanians went to the polls for the first in a succession of elections. Anti-reform and anti-EU candidates and parties were previously expected to poll well in the presidential and parliamentary elections. Romania has featured less and less in EU politics in recent years. At first glance, this is surprising considering that it is the sixth-largest country in the European Union in terms of population size and of huge strategic significance given its location on the southeastern flank of both the bloc and NATO . This is particularly relevant when one considers that, of all EU member states, Romania has by far the longest shared border with Ukraine . It is also the most important base for US and NATO forces in southeastern Europe. Moreover, it faces military threats like no other country in the EU: Russia's Shahed drones regularly explode either over or on Romanian territory . In 2023, the government in Bucharest went so far as to construct air raid shelters for residents in the Danube Delta. Romania's silence on international matters However, unlike Poland or the Baltic states, Romania contributes very little to debates about how to handle Russia and support Ukraine. Romania's general silence on this and other important political matters is largely down to President Klaus Iohannis , who has been in office for 10 years. Silence and a low profile on both the domestic and international political stage have become his trademark — even though the Romanian constitution sees the president as the country's most important voice at home and an important foreign policy player abroad. From election promises to political passiveness This is the situation in Romania as the country heads into two weeks of elections. The first round of the presidential election will take place on Sunday. A week later (December 1), Romanians will elect a new parliament, and a week after that (December 8), there will be a runoff in the presidential election if — as expected — none of the candidates gets an absolute majority in the first round. Having served two terms, President Iohannis is no longer able to run. His support in society and political circles has hit rock bottom anyway. Ten years ago, he ran for president promising root-and-branch reform and to liberate the country from evils such as corruption . But Iohannis, who is a member of Romania's German minority and was previously mayor of Sibiu in Transylvania, never really found his feet in the presidential palace or Bucharest's political jungle, and soon slipped into a passive role. It is against this backdrop that nationalist and anti-reform forces have gained strength. Social Democratic candidate ahead in the polls The favorite going into Sunday's first round of the presidential election was Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the Social Democratic Party (PSD). Back in 1990, after the overthrow of the communist Ceausescu regime the previous year, the PSD — which then operated under a different name — was a melting pot for former regime officials. It has dominated Romania's political landscape for 35 years, making it the only party that survived regime change in the former communist bloc. The shadow of corruption In contrast to what its name suggests, the PSD does not have a social democratic orientation, but generally adopts right-wing populist, nationalist positions mixed with left-wing social rhetoric. For many urban Romanians, the PSD is the epitome of corruption in the post-communist state . In rural regions in the east and south, however, it remains the dominant political force. Ciolacu, who is currently at about 24% in the opinion polls, is a PSD veteran, having worked his way up to the top of the party and government from his early beginnings in provincial politics in the early 1990s. He represents the conservative nationalist wing of the party and has on numerous occasions been linked to cases of alleged corruption, including a recent scandal surrounding a luxury trip. Nevertheless, many Romanians see Ciolacu as a dependable PSD politician who guarantees stability and calm and never forgets the "ordinary people." Should Ciolacu be elected president, it is unlikely that Romania will take an anti-European turn — as has been the case under Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Hungary. It is instead likely that Romania will remain a loyal member of the EU and NATO abroad, but that necessary justice and anti-corruption reforms will be stopped at home. Ultranationalist in second place in the polls Things will look very different indeed if George Simion is elected president. Simion, who was polling at about 15% before the election, is head of the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR). He is an anti-European ultranationalist, although he has hardly anything in common with the last two generations of Romanian nationalists, who were firmly rooted in the past. The radical right leader has copied a lot from politicians like Donald Trump and Viktor Orban and garnered a lot of attention as a result of his social media activities. He is banned from entering Moldova and Ukraine because he claims parts of their territory should belong to Romania. Simion is also suspected of having links to the Russian secret service, although no proof of this has ever been provided. Progressive also in the running Neck and neck with Simion at 15% and vying for second place in the first round of the presidential election was Elena Lasconi, chairwoman of the progressive liberal Save Romania Union (USR). A former star journalist and presenter on a private TV channel, Lasconi entered politics a few years ago and was elected mayor of the southern Romanian town of Campulung. Her party, the USR, was established about a decade ago as an anti-corruption civic movement and stood for progressive, liberal policies. For several years now, however, the USR has become bogged down in everyday party politics and repeated fights about the direction the party should take. The USR left a government coalition formed in 2020 with the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) after only 10 months following a dispute about judicial reform. Balancing act and family dispute Elena Lasconi's political style and election campaign reflected the problems of the USR. She was trying to manage a balancing act between progressive politics and being in touch with ordinary people. A few years ago, she voted against gay marriage in a referendum initiated by the Orthodox churches, provoking a very public family dispute — her daughter identifies as "part of the LGBTQ community". Lasconi now speaks out in favor of civil partnerships for members of the LGBTQ community but remains opposed to gay marriage. When speaking in public, she wears a large cross around her neck and clothes that are inspired by traditional Romanian costumes. Who would win a runoff? Should it come to a runoff on December 8, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu would in all likelihood prefer to stand against George Simion. As was the case in 2000, when former Communist Ion Iliescu faced off against ultranationalist Corneliu Vadim Tudor, it is likely that many Romanians would opt for what they see as the "lesser evil," and that is Ciolacu. If, on the other hand, Lasconi makes it into the second round, two contrasting Romanias would be pitted against each other: city against country, tradition against modernism, a rigid apparatus against the forces of reform. The forecasts for the outcome of the parliamentary election on December 1 tell a remarkably similar tale: Recent polls suggest that the PSD will get 25% to 35% of the vote and both the nationalist AUR and the national liberal USR 15% to 21%.
