Some people might find a sense of calm while they're cleaning. I, personally, try to get it over with as quickly as possible. But sometimes my mess is just too much for one person to tackle — like when my sink is overflowing with a weeks' worth dishes. So rather than tackle it head-on, I like to see what kind of clever products on Amazon can help me get the job done.
And, yes, I'm aware that browsing Amazon is largely my way of stalling. But you can still find a ton of great stuff that'll genuinely help you tidy up around the house. The virtual store has flexible brushes that clean dust out of dirty lint trips, as well as scrubbers that reach deep into tight crevices. And if your home is extra messy, let me direct your attention to the mop and bucket set I've made sure to include. Not only do the microfiber mop bristles attract dirt, but the bucket also features a built-in wringer so that your hands stay clear from grime.
Whether you're trying to avoid that dirty pile of laundry or simply stocking up for some spring cleaning, there are tons of genius things on Amazon that can help. Keep scrolling for some of my favorites.
We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.
1. The lavender-scented gel that cleans deep into tight spaces
Whether there's dust in your air vents or crumbs under your keyboard, this gel can help clean them both like almost-new. It squishes deep into tight spaces that regular brushes can't reach, and it's even reusable until the color turns dark. Plus, it smells like lavender.
2. A kit that turns your drill into a high-power scrubber
When regular elbow grease isn't enough to cut through dirt and grime, it might be time to turn your power drill into a heavy-duty scrubber using this kit. Each order comes with four interchangeable brush heads that you can switch (depending on the job at hand), and the bristles are made from tough nylon that's fray-resistant.
3. This figurine that makes it easier to wipe the microwave clean
Just fill this "angry mama" figurine with a vinegar dilution, then pop it into the microwave for a few minutes; the steam that erupts out of the top will help loosen up any baked-on food. Once done, you can easily wipe out the inside using a damp sponge or paper towel.
4. These slippers that you can wear when it's time to clean the floor
When you've got dusty floors but no time to clean them, these mop slippers can help. Stretch a pair onto your shoes, and the chenille fibers will attract any wayward dust or dirt you come across. Plus, each order comes with enough pairs for up to five people.
5. The extendable tile scrubber for cleaning tall showers
You don't have to strain to reach those tiles at the top of your shower — just use this scrubber. The telescopic handle makes it easy to reach far away surfaces, while the abrasive head is angled to fit into tight corners. And with a nonslip grip, it's easy to maintain control when wet.

There's no need to wring out that dirty mop water by hand when you've got this spin-mop and bucket. The bucket itself has a built-in wringer that's activated via foot pedal, and the splash guard helps prevent any spillover as the mop spins. Plus, the mop fibers are made from ultra-absorbent microfiber — perfect for extra-messy jobs.
8. A duster that cleans between the window blinds
Don't waste time cleaning between each individual blind — just use this handy duster that cleans four slats at the same time. Each order comes with five reusable microfiber sleeves that help attract dust, and you have the choice of two handle colors: blue or green.
9. These flexible brushes that clean deep into lint traps
Picking the lint out of your dryer trap is effective, but you know what works even better? These flexible brushes. The stainless steel wire handles bend and twist to reach every speck of lint, all while the loop on the handle allows you to hang them right next to your dryer.
10. A tool that helps you scrub sliding tracks spotless
Usually, regular scrubbers don't easily fit into the narrow tracks that doors and windows slide along — but this narrow brush will. Unlike other versions, this one features a scraper on the end of the handle that lets you pick away at extra-stubborn grime. Plus, there are even finger grips built into the handle.
11. This telescopic duster that slides underneath furniture
You don't have to get down on the ground to use this duster, as the flexible head helps you clean underneath furniture. It also works great with any tight, narrow space — and the telescopic handle makes it easy to reach tall bookshelves or fan blades.

14. A pair of deep-cleaning brushes made with tough nylon bristles
Made with fray-resistant nylon bristles, these scrubber brushes are great for cleaning everything from stovetops to car interiors. The smaller one features a wiper blade on the other end, and the nonslip grip on both helps you maintain a firm handle when wet.
15. This dust pan with teeth to clean out the broom bristles
With self-cleaning teeth built into the top of the dustpan, it's almost too easy to clean the bristles on this broom once they're full of debris. The telescopic handle on the broom makes it easy to reach far-away dirt, and the bristles are even made from recycled plastic bottles.
16. A pumice stone that scrapes away toilet bowl stains
Whether your toilet bowl is stained from limescale or hard water, this pumice stone can help get it looking squeaky-clean. It doesn't require any extra cleaning sprays or serums, and the heavy-duty plastic handle makes it easy to grip as you scrub back and forth.
17. A tool that cleans both sides of your window at the same time
This tool can help you get your windows extra-clean. The built-in magnets keep it locked together as you slide it around, all while the squeegee wipes away any excess water. And if you're worried about the magnets detaching, don't fret — the attached string lets you reel it back inside.

21. A set of mesh bags to help keep your laundry organized

31. A scrubber brush that attaches to your sink's basin
Attach this brush to your sink basin using the built-in suction cup, and then twist dirty glasses over the bristles to scrub them clean.

43. A pack of cleaning cloths made from absorbent microfiber
