The One Item You Need to Get Every Part of Your Home Clean

If you've been thinking about buying a robot vacuum, may we point out that this Neato D10 Intelligent Robot Vac ($600, originally $800) is $200 off right now? It's an investment, but this is a top-of-the-line gadget that comes equipped with a HEPA filter, navigates your home (even in the dark!), and can be controlled via app. Plus, it knocks a cleaning task off your to-do list.

Cleaning your kitchen shouldn't mean bringing unsafe chemicals into your home. This Safely 28 oz. Universal All-Purpose Cleaner ($6) has a nontoxic formula made with mineral salt and coconut oil. It spiffs up steel, marble, hardwood, and more — all without giving you a "cleaning headache," as some formulas do.

Fed up with stubborn mineral deposits that build up on your coffee makers? Get this Plink 5-Count Drinkware Descaler & Cleaner ($5). It dissolves the buildup, making your coffee carafe look brand new; it also helps your coffee taste better than ever; it also helps your coffee taste even better. A win-win.

Is this a powerful vacuum or a grime-busting mop? Trick question: the Black & Decker Steam Mop & Dry Vacuum ($200) is both. It lets you steam-clean floors, vacuum, or do both at the same time. It's especially useful for mudrooms, entryways, bathrooms, and anywhere else that tends to get high on the yuck factor.

No matter what kind of floor surface you have, the Bona Microfiber Pad Pack ($19) will make it gleam.

Wash the pads, and they'll be ready to go again.

Don't have a duster? Let's fix that right now. This Simply Essential Microfiber Hand Duster ($6) cleans knickknacks, decorative objects, lamps, and other items that tend to sit around collecting dust.

You don't need a special stainless-steel cleaner to lift fingerprints and grime from your fridge. Just use these Casabella Microfiber Stainless Steel Cleaning Cloths ($7) with water — yes, plain old water — and marvel at your shiny new surfaces. Bonus: the checkerboard pattern is all over interior-design Instagram.

Stale smoke, pet odor, random funk — whatever your stink situation, a few spritzes of Zero Odor 16 oz. Odor Eliminator Spray ($16) will neutralize the smell rather than simply covering it up. It's safe to use on upholstery, carpets, and other fabrics.

Here's a riddle: if dishwashers wash dishes, who washes the dishwasher? You do, friend — and you do it with Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner ($10). It's a septic-safe monthly treatment that removes scale, odor, and mineral buildup. It's super easy to use — just pop a tab in and run a load.
