9 Home Appliance Cleaners That Amazon Shoppers Swear By

A pimple-popper video, but in lint form! Honestly, one look at this product and you immediately want to get to work.

The blue hose works like a vacuum nozzle extension since most nozzles don't fit into your lint trap. To use, attach the hose on the end of your vacuum nozzle, insert the other end into your trap, and voilà — enjoy the spine-tingling satisfaction of witnessing years of old lint filling up your reservoir. Works amazing for car interiors, too.

One of the over-13,000 five-star reviews is from a customer raving about the suction's "great quality." "This hose extension and brush set is really well made and did a great job of cleaning out my dryer trap," they say. "I’m pleasantly surprised with the quality. The brush is soft enough to really reach the crevices and the hose has an adapter that would fit most any vacuum hose. The hose itself is flexible and strong but not stiff. Great value and did the job well!"

"YOU NEED THIS TOOL!" enthuses another. "I LOVE it! The junk it pulled out of the vent!!! I was shocked!"

Our Senior Electronics Editor Brandon Carte has a thing or two to say about this washing machine cleaner. "If you’re not leaving your washer door open consistently, I can almost guarantee it smells funky from time to time," he says, and that's where this wünderkind from Affresh comes in. "It’s one of the few affordable products I’ve found that takes care of that gross mildew smell: You just toss a cleaning tablet in your washer’s drum and run the machine on its normal cycle."

Over 151,000 five-star reviewers agree that these restore their machines to "like new," and say that they are "amazed" at these tablets and that they "don’t know what the tablets do or how they do it, but [my] experience has been that they work well."

"I have done many sanitizing cycles with baking soda and vinegar and I just never felt it got the washing machine clean," affirms one such user. "After reading reviews, I decided to give this a try. After the first sanitizing wash and one tablet, I was speechless."

Brandon notes that you have any skin allergies or suffer from eczema, though, some users report getting a rash after washing their clothes — so you may want to run a few quick cycles before resuming your normal laundry routine.

Natural citric acid is the hero ingredient behind this multipurpose appliance cleaner, which removes hard water buildup and degunks your sink, garbage disposal, and even your dishwasher. The lemon scent is also a pleasant deodorizer, and it's also EPA Safer Choice Certified, meaning all its cleaning prowess is done without any bleach, formaldehyde, or ammonia, making it safer to use around kids and pets.

Many of the over 1,600 five-star reviews love that this is an all-rounder, saying that it's one product that conveniently replaces three cleaners. "This product will clean your clothes washer and dishwasher. I like that it is made in the USA and is safer for the environment," confirms one. "If you live with hard water, this is a MUST!" says another convinced customer.

Another reviewer offers up this helpful tidbit: "I have sold appliances for years and this is my favorite of all the available cleaners. Use it monthly to help your appliances last longer."

Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist! Lots of food debris, limescale, and mineral residue can build up in your dishwasher, affecting its performance and even leaving behind a telltale mildewy odor.

Another EPA Safer Choice Certified pick, these tablets, when used as recommended (once a month), do a stellar job of cleaning the dishwasher's tub, racks, pump, valve, drain, and recirculation hoses — and over 54, 200 happy customers can attest.

"I’m a huge proponent of semi-regular cleanings of my appliances," says Brandon Carte, Senior Electronics Editor, and one such satisfied user. "Affresh’s cleaning tablets were designed to target limescale and other minerals, are stupid-easy to use, and they really work: I just plop one in at the bottom of my dishwasher and they’ll remove any buildup or gross residue on my dishwasher’s interior."

Another user says they use it to "effortlessly clean" their machine and loves the results. "The cleaner effectively removed all of the grime and buildup from my dishwasher, leaving it looking and smelling like new," they say. "The process was incredibly easy — I simply placed the tablet in the bottom of the dishwasher and ran a cycle. The cleaner worked its magic and left my dishwasher sparkling clean."

My husband is the griller — thus I, the designated grill cleaner — in our household, and without the right tools, I must say I would be living a life of resentment. This is amazing in many ways, but primarily because it can work on either a warm or a cold oven, and it wipes off even the toughest, stickiest, hardest-to-remove bits of grease and blackened stains without the need for a brush or scaler.

It turns out I am not alone; nearly 9,500 five-star reviewers love how this "miracle spray" has saved their kitchens (and their marriages?): "Let me just start this off by saying my husband is a slob when he cooks. He loves frying foods without a splash guard. The magic moment was when I sprayed the whole stove and went to start scrubbing, but quickly noticed, through the brown grime, the sparkling white beginning to show underneath. I couldn’t stop spraying and wiping it away to reveal brand-new surfaces. It only took maybe an hour to get my whole kitchen cleaned, including the ENTIRE oven, even under the stovetop cover," says a happy wife, who considers this a "life-changer."

"I love this product — it made a difficult chore super easy," says another user. "The instructions give you different options on how to use it, depending on how quickly you need your oven cleaned. I sprayed it on and let it set overnight. In the morning, it was super simple and all the gunk/grease/burnt-on food slid right off. What’s even cooler is you can also use this spray on porcelain!" they add, saying it also works on sprucing bathtubs back to their former glory.

Perhaps our fave succinct review: "Best in the game. If this won't clean it, it can't be cleaned."

Hate scratches but hate stains even more? Look no further, my friend. Over 54,000 five-star reviewers are in the same boat and have come to your rescue with this stellar reco.

The "amazing" Weiman Glass Cook Top Cleaner and Polish Set has all you need to restore any stained glass, ceramic, or induction surface to pristine condition. Its streak-free formula is non-abrasive and made for removing splatter and burnt-on food from delicate surfaces. Simply apply the cream, then scrub and buff with the soft pad, and use the scraper to refine the job.

"Wow! It looked practically new when I finished!" enthuses one user. "The cleaner is a waxy product so there is white dust that can accumulate under the metal edging, but the scraper works great to clean that all up, too."

"If I’d known about this sooner I might not have been so resistant to electric stovetops in the first place," says another.

"Read several reviews on like products, this one has the best," says a third. "I wasn’t steered wrong, worked like a charm." You're welcome!

We nicknamed this little thing "basically an electric toothbrush for your grout," which is pretty much what we all want, right? An oscillating head scrubs 60 times a second, meaning it can and will scrub where angels (and slow, grubby fingers) fear to tread — tile grout, window panes, shower gutters, under your oven knobs, flush hinges, you name it.

It's water-resistant, comfy to hold, and has pulse and continuous scrubbing settings, adding to its user-friendliness. Nearly 14,000 five-star reviewers agree, and say that this is perhaps the best $20 they've ever spent.

"Wow. I'm not a neat freak, but this could make me become one," says one, adding, "I have used it around faucets, toilet hinges, etc. and it is amazing at getting out grime from tight places!"

Another loves how this "nice little cleaner" gets into all the spaces they can't. "I love to use this on my kitchen/bathroom sink fixtures to get stuff off the edges that rags don't get well, it works great! I also use it on my stove to get off cooked-on food and it takes it right off! And with it being so cheap, 100% worth the money."

There is absolutely no disputing the popularity of this goo, with our Senior Service Editor Melanie Yates attesting to its virality on TikTok as a miracle cleaning product.

With over 123,500 five-star ratings on Amazon, it literally removes any conceivable kind of stain or mess without scratching — and by anything, we mean everything from grease on appliances to dirt on car wheels and jewelry, as well as crayons and permanent marker on surfaces.

"This absolute gem of a cleaning product completely K-O'd what I've dubbed the 'Impossible Grout' on our white, tiled bathroom floor," says one reviewer.

Another touts this as an "amazing cleaner," saying, "I’ve used this on doors, sinks, countertops, even my baked-on greased stovetop, and everything I’ve applied it to shocked me... The sinks come out brand-new looking. It cleans deep, grimy handprints off [my doors] in seconds. Even my stove that had baked-in grease which I thought would never come off was made smooth and shiny again."

As a modern-appliance fan, both the best and worst thing ever is a stainless steel surface; what it giveth in sleek aesthetic, it taketh away via fingerprints and water streaks. This is the only appliance cleaner that I — and apparently, 14,100-plus other enthusiasts — think makes the cause worth it.

Its pH-neutral wipe-on/buff-off formula cleans stainless steel surfaces and helps make them resistant to smudges, dust, and fingerprints. It also imparts a pretty shine, giving appliances a like-new finish. I've used it on everything from my fridge to my Simply Human trash can, and love how this kit also has wipes and a microfiber buff cloth to make your life even easier.

"Absolutely fantastic product!" says a happy customer. "Easy to use, fast, makes the appliances look new. Used on the fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and oven," they add.

"I especially love the wipes, very easy to use I used one wipe for my fridge, microwave, stovetop, and dishwasher, and they all dried streak free!" says another.

Another fingerprint-averse customer confirms: "I recently bought a house and the fridge was stainless steel. I thought I was stuck living with fingerprints and thought why would anyone want to deal with this daily? After researching products I found these wipes. They work great! Super easy to use, and no fingerprints for about 2 weeks, and even then it's not remotely close to how it looked before using the product."
