Hatsutec Magic Silicone Cleaning Gloves
"Like most old city apartments, my place doesn't have a dishwasher. I spend almost every night doing the dishes, and over the years, I grew particular about my sponges and gloves. I often found myself throwing them out and purchasing new ones every few weeks because it seemed like the most sanitary option. Recently, I had turned to Amazon to buy another batch but was recommended these Hatsutec Magic Silicone Dishwashing Gloves ($15); I was immediately drawn to them.
I had heard a lot about silicone sponges and how they're much more hygienic than a traditional sponge that collects tons of bacteria. But I was completely sold on the concept that these gloves are a two-in-one product. I bought them within 30 seconds.
The day they arrived was probably the most excited I had ever been to cook and clean up. I was so pleasantly surprised by the results. I lathered the gloves in soap and started washing away. Getting my dishes squeaky clean was easier than ever, and honestly a little fun. The gloves feature slip-resistant grips, so wet items didn't slip away. They can withstand temperatures of -40 through 200 degrees Celsius, so using scorching hot water wasn't an issue. Plus, they even come with a handy hook, so you can hang them up to dry when you're done. I have a feeling these will last for a long time, and they were worth every penny." — Krista Jones, assistant editor, Shop
Evercare Pet Mega Floor Lint Roller
"I'm pretty sure my 10-year-old Golden Retriever's entire goal in life is to shed as much of her long hair as possible. If she can do it in such a way that she can create a forceful breeze with her tail and get a ball of hair to float up and land on the couch, well, then she's really done her day's work. The vacuum certainly does its job on hard wood, but so much hair just sticks to fabric that I never get it all up . . . until now.
The Evercare Pet Mega Floor Lint Roller ($15, originally $30) lets you roll up pet hair and other dirt off of rugs, carpets, couches, and blankets — all of which can be difficult to vacuum (ever tried to vacuum a blanket? You can't!). It comes with 25 sheets, and you just peel them off when you're done. The handle is extendable so you can adjust it to meet your needs." — Rebecca Brown, editor, Shopping and Family
Antibacterial Silicone Dishwashing Sponges (Pack of 7)
"Washing dishes and getting your hands all pruny in the sink after enjoying a satisfying meal is basically punishment, and don't even get me started on that cringe-filled moment when you touch an unidentified wet food particle. Yuck! If you ask me, though, the worst part is having to replace your sponge all. the. time. They get dirty and smelly so quickly, and it's even worse when you find little crumbs and bits of yesterday's dinner still stuck to the abrasive side. Thanks to this list of genius kitchen gadgets, I came across these Antibacterial Silicone Dishwashing Sponges ($16), and they've saved me loads of dishwashing frustration.
My mom mentioned something similar a few months earlier, insisting these sponges were better than the original, so I decided to take a chance. The results were pretty much instantaneous. Because they're made of silicone, the sponges don't tear or absorb any liquid, so they don't smell! Also, since they're so flexible, scrubbing the mouth of a water bottle or a narrow cup is no problem. Plus, any food particles that get caught in the little grooves can easily be rinsed away, and the sponges are dishwasher-safe, which makes them super easy to clean.
The sponges come in a pack of seven bright colours, so you'll have one for the counters, one for the dishes, one for the tables, and more. As one satisfied Amazon customer commented, 'By far, the best part about this product is that you are not having a breeding ground in your kitchen for bacteria using a sponge. Once you use these you will not go back!' I completely agree.
The catch? You do still need a regular abrasive sponge to do any heavy-duty pot scrubbing every now and then, but 90 percent of the time, I'm still able to skip the lingering smell and soggy feeling of an ordinary sponge in my hands." — Chanel Vargas, editorial assistant, Trending and Viral Features
Kirk's Odour Neutralising Hydrating Hand Soap in Rosemary & Sage
"I love garlic, but I hate the way it makes my hands smell. I usually give my hands a quick wash after I finish chopping any cloves as I'm prepping dinner, but I could never really get rid of the strong smell until I discovered Kirk's Odour Neutralising Hydrating Hand Soap ($7). This is not exactly a new discovery — the brand has been around since 1839 — but it's new to me. For the past few months, I've been using the Lemon & Eucalyptus scent in my bathroom and the Rosemary & Sage scent in my kitchen, and is it weird to say I look forward to washing my hands more than I normally would?
The soap has a natural, hypoallergenic formula that's free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrance, and harsh chemicals, which is something I personally care about as I strive to put more clean products on my skin. It's extremely soft, and while I love the fresh scents, I like that there's a fragrance-free option, too. You can find Kirk's in some stores including Whole Foods, but it's also available on Amazon, which is even more convenient. Spaghetti night in my house is now even more enjoyable, thanks to this odour-obliterating soap." — Erin Cullum, editor, Trending and Viral Features
Lodge Pan Scraper
"I make eggs for my family weekly. My husband loves them, I love them, and my daughter loves them. And even though I use what I consider to be the best nonstick pan out there, at some point, things just start sticking — eggs in particular. I've had some success using these silicone dishwashing gloves, but they only get so much off.
After hearing people rave about this Lodge Pan Scraper ($3, originally $10) and reading through reviews, I was sold. You have to wait until the pan cools off before using it (the scraper is likely to melt otherwise), but then you're free to flick off those reluctant pieces that seem to just want to hold on for dear life. The scrapers are intentionally rounded in four different ways so you can get the angle you want. And those of you who spend the Summer flipping burgers for the kids on the grill might find this handy scraper useful, too! It really gets in all of those nooks and crannies." — RB
Dyson Small Ball Multi-Floor Upright Vacuum
"I'm lucky enough to live in a rent controlled apartment in San Francisco, but along with the price comes a lot of sacrifices. The last time my apartment was updated was 15 years ago, including the carpet. Through those years it has seen over 10 different roommates and an endless number of late night parties. Needless to say, my carpet isn't exactly the kind you want to walk barefoot on. Although it has seen better days, I try my absolute best to keep it as clean as possible. There's only one device that has ever withstood the task — this powerful Dyson Small Ball Multi-Floor Upright Vacuum ($278, originally $400).
When I first moved in, I took an old hand-me-down vacuum from my parents; it was probably even older than the carpet. Every time I used it, it felt like I was still seeing leftover particles and hairs that it couldn't pick up. I knew I need something with a lot more power. Before I even started my search, I was told by countless people that Dyson is the best of the best when it comes to heavy-duty needs. The price tags on their products scared me, but I figured it was worth it. There are several models ranging between $200 and $500, and I was totally lost. In an effort to make sure I got the most for my money, I looked to Walmart. The site has great deals and a large community of customers that leave in-depth, unbiased reviews.
What officially sold me on my vacuum was its 4.7 star ranking with over 1,600 positive reviews. It's a small, lightweight design, clocking in at only 12 pounds. Plus, its tiny shape is easy to fit in my hall closet. In addition to cleaning my floors, it also features a self-adjusting cleaner head that I can get into corners with, use on my bathroom tile floors, and even to reach my ceiling. My favourite feature: the emptying bin. Instead of fussing around with dusty bags, I simply place it over my trash can and press a release button.
After owning this vacuum for several years, I can easily say I'll never switch to anything else. It was worth every penny to make sure my carpet is as clean as it possibly can be, and I've never been disappointed." — KJ
