Removing stubborn stains on your sinks and tabletop surfaces can be tiring, considering the amount of strength you have to put in into scrubbing. With the handheld electric scrubber brush ($9.90), you can now sit back – though not literally – and let it do the work for you.
The powerful rotation of the battery-operated scrubber makes it proficient at removing dirt and stains. It allows you to save time and energy with just a push of a button, and being cordless, it prevents you from getting tangled in cumbersome wires.

Bending at the lowest possible angle while trying to stuff your broom underneath your bed or sofa is as tough as it gets, and it does not do any good in removing trapped dust bunnies since brooms and dry mops are not slim enough to fit under certain beds and sofas. The handheld microfiber crevice duster (from $3.06) however, is the perfect solution for narrow crevices and hard-to-reach openings.
Its thin cleaning blade slips effortlessly into nooks and crannies, while the microfiber covering traps dust and hair strands well. The head of the duster is also flexible, no longer requiring you to bend in unforgivable angles.
Straining to dust high surfaces is also a thing of the past as its aluminium shaft extends up to 1.34M, allowing you to reach the top of kitchen cabinets and wardrobes to ensure that they are spick-and-span.

Do away with the displeasing fingerprints and oil stains on your phones with the portable mobile screen spray and wipe combo ($4.58).
Though many of us use our T-shirts to wipe our screens, it can often make the problem worse. Not suited for thorough cleaning, the fabric might just spread these oil smudges, or can even cause unsightly scratches if grit gets in the way. Because of this problem, you will need a squirt of a disinfectant solution to properly do the trick.
For a convenient, all-in-one solution, this spray and wipe combo thoroughly rids your screen of smudges and grime in a lipstick-sized package. This nifty gadget is designed to accommodate their refills ($2.51 each), so it’s best to purchase a combo with an extra bottle ($5.48).

On top of that, it also comes with a mini holder for you to dry your brush since moist sponges and brushes serve as perfect breeding grounds for nasty germs. Simply latch onto it and allow the excess water to drip onto the collection tray.

Extremely malleable, this slime ball can transform into any shape to fit into small areas. Though its ability to stick is off the charts, you do not have to worry about leftover residue on the surface that you are cleaning due to its high viscosity.
