Magic Erasers

And while we may think that the name is a bit too much, these little sponges live up to the expectations created by their name. Magic erasers are most commonly the ones that you can get from the Mr. Clean brand; however, it is not the only place where you can get these little cleaning magic sponges. They are actually melamine sponges, and while it is affordable to get them from Mr. Clean and it is easy to spot them in stores or online, you can easily just buy any melamine sponge and they will work just as well.

They are extremely affordable, and they only need water in order to work wonders on whatever you may need help cleaning. We definitely find ourselves reaching for one of them when we cannot just clean something with a rug and cleaning spray. We do not know what it is about these sponges, but they work on stainless steel, dirty grout, wall scuffs, bathtub scum that needs to be cleaned easily, and many others. Chances are that nine times out of ten, they will end up saving the day. So make sure your cleaning supplies include them!

Bar Keeper’s Friend

If you are looking for a universal cleaning solution, then you may want to turn your attention to Bar Keeper’s Friend. There are tons of housekeepers who sing its praises, and for good measure. It is a non-bleach agent that is good to be used on most things out there, and it is extremely easy to use on a variety of surfaces and items.

This American brand has been making cleaning products since 1882, and besides their change in packaging over the years, they still keep the same formula, so you know it is great if you want something that will work to get rid of the dirt on many items.

You can easily use it to polish stainless steel surfaces (this includes grills, appliances, and utensils, as well as pots and pans), and it is also effective against soap scum, hard-water stains, and rust, making it great for use on grimy wheels and even sports equipment. If you do not like having five solutions for different surfaces, this one is going to be a savior. And it is super affordable too!

Scrub Daddy

We know not everyone likes these sponges, but they are indeed something else. They do look a little creepy, and they do have the word “Daddy” included in their name, so it does not make you want to buy them, but they are some of the best sponges on the market. They are unsettling with their toothless grins when you approach the sink, but you will not find a better sponge for cleaning dishes out there.

Scrub Daddies have the amazing property of never scathing any smells, as well as acting differently according to the temperature of the water that you are using. Other sponges do not get pliable and are easy to use in hot water; they are also not perfect for scouring in cold water because they turn stiff. And while they have come out with the scrub mommy, the Daddy is where it is at.

And if you find the neon colors a bit much for you, you can also find them in a gray variant that is dye-free. They may be a bit more pricey because of this (which means you can get only one for the price of three normal ones), and you can also keep an eye out for the seasonal ones if you want some variety!

Drill Brush Attachments

It is indeed a bit bizarre when you think about it, but sometimes these drill brush attachments are just what you need to be able to clean easily and without having to ruin your hands, be it because of hard scrubbing or cleaning agents you may be using. You can get one of these sets and then use them whenever you have to clean more hard-to-reach or stubborn places around the home.

We use them when we have to tackle any cleaning on the patio when we have to clean the grout and the hubcaps, and even when we don’t want any headaches when cleaning the bathtub! The rotary power is going to make things easier!

Rubber Gloves

Let’s be honest: if there is one thing you are going to invest in after reading this article, even if it is just under $10, it should be some good rubber gloves. Not only are they extremely useful when it comes to deep cleaning and any other moments when you are using harsh cleaning agents, but they’re great even when you do not need elbow grease.

Take washing dishes, for example, where sometimes you either need really hot water or cold water, and keeping your hands wet for so long is definitely not good for your skin. If you end up using gloves, you can soon put all of these issues behind you. This is in addition to avoiding getting your hands dry and cracked because they lack the proper moisture and have come into contact with abrasive substances.

The best course of action is to invest in a few pairs (or in a box) of gloves and start taking care of your hands!

Pink Stuff

You may not have heard of the Pink Stuff, but for those who have talked with a housekeeper or know someone who cleans for a living, they know that sometimes you cannot count on anything else but the Pink Stuff. It happened to us as well! When we had to move our kids into the college dorms, we decided to deep clean the room beforehand, and nothing else would get rid of that grout in the bathroom!

We know it is good to think that you can do anything with vinegar and baking soda, but you need something that will help you in a matter of minutes without being a hassle! And that thing is the Pink Stuff. You’ll thank us later!

If you want to be able to get quality products at an affordable price, you may just be a frugal person! Yet, sometimes they get a pretty bad rash. Read all about the most common myths about frugal people that we debunked here!
