37 Household Cleaning Gadgets on Amazon Canada That Actually Get the Job Done
10 March 2021
Not many of us enjoy the act of cleaning, but a lot of us appreciate the rewards of a tidy home. Short of hiring a maid, that means doing a bit of that dreaded cleaning ourselves. What can we do to make that process as painless as possible? Get the most effective products! To that end, I did some combing through Amazon to see what cleaning products buyers liked most, and which ones sold the best. Here's what I came up with.
This carpet cleaner is specially designed to tackle pet hair and stains, and more than 35,000 Amazon buyers rate it 4.5 stars. That means there's a good chance you'll love it. (I know I want one.) This pack of 50 microfiber cleaning cloths earns 4.7-star ratings on more than 32,000 purchases. They're super absorbent and don't leave behind lint or scratches. That makes them the perfect everyday cleaning tool. (I already have them, or I'd be buying these too.) No matter what sort of cleaning you need to do, I found something that'll help make it easier, faster or more effective. Check out my list of 37 recommended products!
