Happy Friday, friend.

The weekend’s almost here, and my inbox is full of requests for “that cool cleaning list.” So I rounded up the smartest (and strangest) grime-busting tools that actually live up to the hype.

Warning: Some are ridiculously satisfying.

🧽 1. Spinning cordless scrubber ($40, 40% off)

Scrub grout, tile, tubs and baseboards in half the time. A 43-inch handle reaches all those tricky spots.

⌨️ 2. Keyboard cleaning gel ($8)

This gooey blob grabs dust, crumbs and coffee gunk from between keys and vents. Press, peel and smile.

🐉 3. Microwave steam cleaner ($13)

Meet your microwave’s new buddy: A silicone dragon that shoots hot vapor to loosen splatters. Just add vinegar and water, microwave and wipe.

🧲 4. Magnetic window cleaner ($120)

Two magnets clean both sides of your window at once. Glide them along for streak-free glass. No ladder needed.

🐞 5. Mini desk vacuum ($10)

Yes, it’s shaped like a ladybug. And yes, it slurps up crumbs, eraser bits and dust from your desk.

💚 6. Vacuum cleaner dust LED attachment ($18, 46% off)

This green laser hooks onto your vacuum and reveals hidden dust on your floors. You’ll be horrified… and totally addicted. I am!

🌬️ 7. Electric air duster ($57, 29% off)

Stop buying cans of air. This turbo fan blasts dust from laptops, camera lenses and every weird crevice.

💡 8. UV phone sanitizer ($85)

Your phone’s filthy. This box disinfects with UV light instead of chemicals. Bonus: Doubles as a charger.

💍 9. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaner ($28, 15% off)

Drop in your bling and let tiny sonic waves gently blast away gunk. It’s like a spa day for your sparkle.

🌸 10. Toilet gel stamp kit ($14, 7% off)

Stamp a flower-shaped gel into your toilet bowl and every flush releases a burst of freshness. It’s like aromatherapy… for your downstairs.

💄 11. Electric makeup brush washer ($20)

No more scrubbing. Put your brushes and sponges into this spinning gadget and watch it do the dirty work for you.

🧺 12. Dryer vent vacuum kit ($10, 23% off)

Clogged vents = fire hazard. Clean it out with an attachment that reaches the deepest fuzz zones. May even lower your energy bill.

🚗 13. Portable electric pressure washer ($91, 43% off)

Hose on the go? Take this cordless sprayer anywhere to quickly wash your muddy car, tent, RV, you name it.

🐾 14. Pet hair remover roller ($20, 20% off)

It’s not tape, it’s better. Swipe over your couch or bed and this reusable gadget grabs fur like a magnet.

⚡ 15. Electric spin mop with LED lights ($130, 19% off)

Yes, it’s pricey but hear me out. This mop glows, spins like a dance floor and makes cleaning wood or tile so much easier. Your back will thank you.

I hope this list really helps you out. I love a clean home, which is super hard with two golden retrievers. That’s Bella, my new little girl.
