AT writer Sarah raved about this power bathroom scrubber, and for good reason. The electronic brush head and extendable handle take the grunt work out of cleaning your shower, which is one of the most labor-intensive areas in the home to clean. This nifty device helps you scale the walls as well as scrub the tub (all without bending down), and the adjustable neck of the brush head means you don't have to contort your body to catch the grooves of your tub.

We're thrilled about the recent release of the Dyson Omni-glide, which was designed with tricky-to-clean spaces in mind. It's a small-space-friendly model that can float in any direction to get into all those hard-to-reach areas, and it even has dust-detecting lasers.

Water bottles, thermoses, and baby bottles can't be well-cleaned with a regular sponge or dishcloth.

The removable handle detaches to unveil a thinner brush that can thoroughly scrub glass rims or catch leftover food particles inside blenders and juicers.

You'd be shocked at how much lint is lurking within the crevices of your dryer that the filter doesn't always catch.

This nifty little gadget accomplishes the impossible task of making microwave cleaning fun. Simply remove the head, add vinegar and water, then heat it up for seven minutes.

The high-powered steam emitted from this handheld Bissell cleaner is enough to get all the stains hidden in crevices that were probably a headache to clean before.

The steam dissolved all the grease."

Cleaning your car's console can be very time consuming. Before you throw your hands up in defeat (and then pay tons of money to get it detailed), invest in this easy-to-use cleaning gel. Just press it into the car air vents, steering wheels, console panel, storage bins, cup holder, door handles, and dashboards to catch lint, dust, crumbs, and other "goodies" that often accumulate in the car.

This TikTok-famous gadget actually is the real deal.
