As a writer and product tester who focuses on cleaning, tidying, and organization at Homes & Gardens, I spend my days interviewing countless cleaning professionals on their tips, tricks, and product recommendations for beautifying a home on a budget.
Over time, I've noticed the way the same products just keep cropping up. From cleaning sprays to scrubbing sponges, it seems that some supplies are recommended by almost everyone with a bit of cleaning know-how.
Here, I've found the best Black Friday deals to stock up on while they're on sale. After all, if the pros never pass up on these products to perfect their cleaning tips, why should we?
Cleaning products experts always recommend
The Pink Stuff
When cleaning pros reveal the things they're stocking up on, I've genuinely lost count of the number of times The Pink Stuff is mentioned – it's considered a 'miracle' cleaner for good reason.
For a start, there are so many things you can clean with The Pink Stuff around the home. From tile grout and soap scum in the bathroom to shining up pans and surfaces in the kitchen, it's multi-use, versatile, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The best part? The affordable price tag is another reason why cleaning pros just can't seem to get enough.
All prices are correct at the time of publication.
This bundle contains everything you need to clean your home from top to bottom and includes a cleaning paste, cream cleaner, and multi-purpose spray.
Method All-Purpose Cleaner
I'm a little biased on this one, as I love using Method cleaning products in my own home – but so do the pros.
Vegan, plant-based and cruelty-free, I love the way Method products are formulated without parabens and phthalates, while still effectively cutting through grease and grime. The products smell amazing, too, which is a bonus!
Using refillable and reusable cleaning products is a great way to clean your home without harming the planet. This starter kit comes with a gorgeous aluminum spray bottle and two recyclable, concentrated refills, in a refreshing grapefruit scent. Just add water to use.
Molly's Suds Laundry Powder
If you have allergies and are aware of cleaning ingredients to avoid, Molly's Suds laundry power is a great option. It's free of synthetic dyes, fragrances, SLS, and optical brighteners, and is available in naturally scented or unscented varieties.
Experts love the way the safer ingredients still offer a powerful clean, helping to lift stains from laundry and get dingy whites white again. They're also certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny.
With enough detergent for 240 washes, this powder will keep laundry smelling nice for longer, with only one scoop needed for a full load.
Scrub Daddy Sponge
Few – if any – cleaning sponges have ever taken the internet by storm the same way that the Scrub Daddy has, for scratch-free cleaning that really works.
With an innovative, exclusive material, the sponge is firmer when dampened with cold water, for scrubbing tough stains, and more absorbent with hot. It's also odor-resistant for up to eight weeks and can be used on all surfaces, including dishes, cutlery, glass, and even shoes.
Recently, Chiana Dickson, an editor on Solved at H&G tried the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, and loved that too, for efficient dusting without the dread. If you've spotted any signs it's time to replace your Damp Duster, the 2-Pack Damp Clean Duster Sponge available at Amazon is also included in their Black Friday deals.
This Scrub Daddy duo includes a handy sink organizer for storing your sponge, keeping it clean and dry when not in use.
Microfiber cloths
One of the best tips I've learned from interviewing professional cleaners is that there are a few cleaning tasks that can't be done with a microfiber cloth. Experts love them for their softness, absorbency, and streak-free cleaning abilities.
They're also machine-washable and tumble-dry safe, making them a great reusable option for being sustainable at home. Just avoid any microfiber cloth mistakes by making sure you're clued up on how to wash a microfiber cloth before getting started.
Customers and cleaning experts alike love these microfiber cloths, rating them highly for their value, cleaning ability and softness.
