It might sound unusual at first, but we could all use some cleaning hacks at the end of the day. The less time it takes to get through our daily or weekly chores, the better.

Here are five products seen in popular TikTok cleaning hack videos. They’ve all gone viral and all promise to get your home sparkly clean without tons of sweat and elbow grease.

1. The sponge that will change your life

Scrub Daddy Sponge Set

These amazing little sponges are sensitive to temperature. That means they're firm in cold water and soft in warm water. The different colors allow you to assign one to dishes, another to toilets, and more to pet bowls or other jobs. They're scratch-free so that you can use them on your car, non-stick pans, leather purses, glass and stainless steel. The best part? They're odor-resistant, so one sponge can last up to 8 weeks.

Promising review: "These sponges are the best. I found them on tiktok from a cleaning lady I follow and I haven't gone back. They're great for scrubbing hard to get off things but also soften for a normal clean. I like that they are color coded so you can make sure you don't mix them up."
