1. A no-rinse floor cleaner here to rid your home of that urine smell that keeps you from wanting to invite guests over.
2. A Grandma's Secret spot remover because no one knows how to get stains out like Grandma. This under-the-radar solution can tackle stains like nobody's business. Don't believe me? Just look at the before and after of this white couch.
It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few months ago, I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out!
Promising review: "Tested it on a throw rug our dog threw up on, and it was that deep yellow stomach bile which can stain badly. It came out perfectly, and that stain was dried." —Lora bradley

3. A stain and odor remover used mostly to remove messes from pets, but reviewers say it also works wonders on vomit, both from pets and tiny humans.
Promising review: "HOLY (insert every expletive here)!!!! This stuff is amazing!!! Unbelievably good, a true miracle product. I recently moved into a house that I used to rent to college kids. Unfortunately one of them had a dog who apparently thought all carpeting was a place to pee. I had about given up (tried all the nature’s miracle formulas and several others) and was about to suck it up and figure out how to pay to have the entire house re-carpeted. I tried this as a last ditch effort after some research. I tested it on a particularly ugly, dark stain and followed the directions. I left it to for sit 2 hours and then put a bunch of paper towels (quality counts there too) and stepped on it a bunch of times to suck up the fluid. The brand new carpet underneath was nothing short of amazing!!!! It looked fresh, smelled good, and was the original color!!!! That was it for me, I bought the gallon size (you do use a considerably amount of product per stain) and went to town. I’m back for another gallon now to finish off the work and I am so shocked by how well this works I was compelled to shout it to the world. This is worth every cent you pay for it, it just works! I’m telling all my friends/family about this stuff because bonus — it works amazingly on kid vomit also! (Something I am unfortunately all too familiar with!) If you’re on the fence about the price tag — take the leap, you will NOT be sorry!" —Mom_of_metal

4. A Bissell multipurpose portable cleaner with the cleaning power to restore your carpet to the way it looked before you welcomed your furry pals to the family.
Promising review: "This vacuum is amazing. I first heard of it on TikTok where people were using it to clean their stairs, mattresses, car seats, etc. and from the videos, it already looked amazing. But considering how dirty my dining chair cushions were, I was a little bit apprehensive and skeptical. I purchased the item and used it on my chairs for the first time and the results were SO AMAZING. Best vacuum I've ever used. I even bought a second one!" —Davina
Get it from Amazon for $123.59.
5. A pet hair broom so now you see pet hair all over the floor, ~waves magic broom,~ and now you don't!
Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it." —Joyce V
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
6. A 3-in-1 stain and odor remover with a pro-bacteria and enzyme formula reviewers note not only removes the stain of dog vomit but the scent of it, too. Easy peasy.
7. A cleaner and deodorizer so you can revive your old carpet. You just need to give this nontoxic, cruelty-free formula a chance to make your carpet look ~like new~ again.
Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business.
FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet-cleaning machines, so you like, have to get one of those too. Here's one you might like.
Promising review: "I never leave reviews but with this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I’m trying to make last as long as I can because kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up? I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I’ve used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn’t! Smelt great the whole time! I’m hooked!!" —Megan Davis
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
8. A drill brush kit for putting the elbow grease into cleaning without making you work twice as hard. Who knew those tiny animals could leave all that dirt in the tub? These attachments fit onto your drill and adds an extra power behind the scrub brushes to tackle bigger projects in half the time.
Promising review: "If I could give it 10 stars I would. If you have a tile shower that is the bane of your existence like mine...you need these! They clean what no human hands can in half the time. Still hard work to use but way better then the old fashioned way!" —jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in soft, medium, stiff, and ultra stiff bristles).
9. A ChomChom pet hair roller because your pets love to roll around the loveseat when you're not home and leave tiny piles of hair so you'll know they've been there. The ChomChom has a reusable brush that grabs every strand of hair and lint as you clean. Once you're done, empty it, and you're good to go.
BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes owns this cleaning essential and says: "The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds."
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in four colors).
10. A 20-pack (!) of extra thick magic cleaning pads reviewers agree is a great swap for the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Sometimes Sparky forgets that the door or wall isn't a tree and that's okay. These pads literally take your dirty jobs and make them disappear. Oh oh oh, it's magic, you know. 🎵✨
Promising reviews: "I use them for cleaning all over my apartment. Brought my semi permanent hair dye-stained tub back to life!" —Hogan
"I went on a four-hour date with these bad boys and my baseboards. It was a great date!! My baseboards are so shiny and the erasers did not scratch my walls or paint when I cleaned the top lip of the baseboards. I can easily cut or tear them in half to get smaller erasers for those nooks and crannies." —Heather C
Psst — check out BuzzFeed's STK cleaning pads review for more deets (and incredible before and after photos).

11. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads so easy to use, you'll wish you'd thought of them sooner. All you have to do is set the pad down, stomp on it, then toss it. It works on both fresh and set-in stains.
Promising review: "It is actually working! I almost cried when I picked up the first pad!! Some genius builder put white carpet in our condo bedrooms. It's now 15-years-old so it's definitely not the original white. We knew we were going to get a dog so we didn’t want to replace it right away though. Well, we rescued a dog who was barely potty trained and she did a number on the carpet. Luckily, the smell didn’t linger, but the stain did. We’ve tried numerous products and none of them helped the stain. The stains are now over a year old. We're waiting until after COVID to replace the carpet but I still wanted it to look nice in the meantime. I was skeptical for sure, but holy goodness it’s working!! You can literally see the rectangle where I used (and moved) the first pad!!!! I have a long way to go, but these pads are nothing short of a miracle! I just wish they were bigger because laying them out looks and feels like we’re laying tiles on the floor. Just buy it. You won’t regret it." —Kimmy

12. A carpet stain remover perfect for households filled with littles or even just filled with clumsy people. Just apply, agitate, and blot for instant ~wow-worthy~ results.
13. An Arm & Hammer pooper scooper set that'll make it easy to keep trash and of course ~pet poop~ out of your yard. Rake the debris into the bin (lined with a trash bag) then toss it in the garbage when done. Easy as pie or cake, depending on the dessert you prefer. 😉
14. A genius Tineco 2-in-1 cordless vacuum and mop ready to make life that much easier for the hardwood floor dwellers of the world. A multitasking cleaning machine, this device vacuums and mops at the same time! It always cleans with fresh water, is lightweight, and will leave your floors dry and streak-free.
Promising review: "I confess I can be a lackadaisical housekeeper, which is problematic, since my new dog sheds enough in a week for me to build an entire new dog. What's worse, vacuuming doesn't pick up a lot of his fur. This Tineco is magic, though. Not only does it pick everything up (dust, fur, hair, crumbs, Nature's Miracle, errant Cheerios), but because the wheels are motorized, vacuuming/mopping is a breeze. I get exhausted using my canister vac, but this thing is a blast to use.
"Here is what I've learned: I always use the 'extra water' feature, which seems to work better. I clean the dirty water holder and parts every time I empty it, and I run the self-clean cycle after every second emptying session. This means I can do my primary bath and my 10x12 TV room before self cleaning and recharging for a little bit. Or I can do my kitchen and entryway and hall before self cleaning, or my living room. In other words, you're not going to do your whole house on one battery charge or without running the self cleaning feature several times. Of course, the reason you have to run the self cleaning so often is because this little beauty is picking up So. Much. Stuff. It's magic. If it broke tomorrow (and I don't think it will break for a very long time) I would buy another." —Tsippi
Get it from Amazon for $199.90.
15. A bottle of Angry Orange citrus deodorizer for those pet odors that keep visitors at bay. No more being embarrassed by that super strong smell, this deodorizer is made for TOUGH JOBS. Added bonus: your cat or dog might hate the smell so bad that they'll STOP peeing on your stuff.
Use a UV blacklight (as shown above) to find urine spots you didn't even know were there!
Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.
Promising reviews: "I was skeptical at first, my cat peed on my couch and I had tried everything else but the smell was still there. I saw an ad for this and was completely surprised it worked so well! I sprayed my couch and wiped it down and the smell is GONE! Worth every penny!" —Amy
"I love my dogs, stink and all. But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond. Y'all know what I'm talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can't afford the water to wash their beds every week. I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed, and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell. 👍👍👍" —ocdmax
Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (available in two sizes).
16. Sprinkle & Sweep because they know how irritated you get when they make an accident. With this product, you'll be able to sprinkle the powder over the mess, which makes it solidify so you can easily sweep it away.
Sprinkle & Sweep is the small biz responsible for this all-natural eco-conscious formula that helps you clean up after your pet with ease.
Promising review: "I don’t really do reviews very often except for some items I buy on here that truly blow me away. This product has been AMAZING for cleaning up many accidents in my condo from my pit bull. I work long hours and so does my girlfriend, often times we get home to a big surprise on the restroom floor. This product has completely changed how we deal with his accidents, it makes it super super easy and I love the way it smells. It lasts a long time, too!!" —James
Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in different sizes).
17. A touchless stationary vacuum ready to serve by sucking up any mess you sweep over its way. Dust pans? They're so last month.
Promising reviews: "This has been a champ for the first few months. So much better than a cordless vacuum stick with a lab who sheds — pull out a wide brush, push it around the room, aim for the stationary vacuum, and let 'er rip (a small broom helps target better for the last step). One minute and done. Emptying isn’t necessary every day, but it is easy to do. No complaints at all so far." —R. Marlowe
"I have an autoimmune disorder that causes reoccurring massive hair fall out. I decided to put one in our master bath to make cleaning easier. It does the job and has made life a bit easier and a whole lot cleaner. I may add another for our kitchen. We also have a miniature golden doodle. And this vacuum works so much better than trying to manage the hair with a robot vacuum-type tool that ends up with hair wrapped around its brush." —Rebecca O
Get it from Amazon for $199 (available in five colors).
18. An indoor/outdoor pet bathing tool (with a treat mat!) because sometimes the biggest mess in the house is your pet. You can attach to a hose or your shower so that you can breeze through bath time. The tool is easy to turn on and off and super easy to attach. Bye smelly dog, hello clean companion.
Watch how easy this brush is to use in this video on TikTok.
Promising review: "Our 6-month-old puppy hated bathtime! I bought this and the silicone suction thing for her to lick some peanut butter and bananas off of. It seriously made bathtime a breeze! She was completely distracted and the speed that I could get her scrubbed and rinsed was amazing. Before it was a two-person job, and I ended up with bruises, but with this set up it could be done by one person. Also, installation was very quick and easy!" —Britany
