Banish grime and stains from your microwave with a combination of lemon, vinegar, and water. Take a playful approach with the Angry Mama microwave cleaner, which uses steam to effortlessly soften grime and stains. Remove the head from Angry Mama’s body, then add vinegar and water to fill the lines. Add a squeeze of lemon juice (or essence) for a pleasant odour.

Address dried-on stains and stubborn grease on your stovetop using The Pink Stuff, a versatile and eco-friendly cleaner. Its formula is cruelty-free, vegan and smells like Rhubarb.

For tough stains, enlist the help of the Scrub Daddy, a temperature-sensitive scrub sponge that adapts to your cleaning needs.

Don’t overlook your backsplash; wipe away accumulated cooking oils and grease effortlessly with this grease-cutting cleaner.

Revitalize your oven without the hassle of self-cleaning. Create a paste with baking soda and water, scrub with a vinegar-soaked Scrub Mommy, and wipe clean for a fresh-looking oven. Use the FlexTexture side to scrub off debris, then flip it and use the soft ResoFoam side to soak up liquids and wipe the surface dry.

If time is of the essence, consider a fume-free oven spray for quick and effective results. It cleans tough baked-on spills with no scrubbing!

Add a deodorizer, like a Scrubbing Bubbles disposable pad, for a long-lasting fresh scent. Add a small amount of hot water to the bottom of the can to initiate the active ingredients.

Apply a gel stamp of this tried-and-true toilet gel cleaner to the inside lid of your garbage can. The gel will eventually dry up instead of washing away, but you will be left with a fresh scent until your next major clean.

Wipe down the exterior with a gentle, chemical-free cloth like Norwex. These cloths are especially gentle on stainless steel appliances. With a touch of water, they trap dust and grime sans chemicals.

Remove and clean the interior (time to get rid of expired dressings and sauces), including drawers, using natural products or a dishwashing spray. This Dawn Powerwash spray is perfect for lifting tough spills.

Use an electric spin scrubbing brush for those hard-to-reach spots. It’ll up your cleaning game for good.

Give your kitchen floors a spa day with the Shark Steam and Scrub mop, combining the power of steam and rotating pads for superior stain removal.
