Nobody likes to scrub their toilet. No one wants to fish hair out of a clogged drain. But sometimes that’s life, and we’re here to help. If your biggest pet peeve is a dirty home (but you seriously don’t have enough time/energy to get it clean), we’ve rounded up 21 of the best, most ingenious cleaning products that will make everyday cleaning tasks, like scrubbing crayon marks off a wall or emptying the litter box, a little less awful. Scroll on for our favorite cleaning products that we can’t live without. All of them were invented to make your life easier – because life is hard enough! – from catching hair before it goes down the drain to capturing disgusting diaper pail smells. Who knows? You may even start to enjoy cleaning.

18. More than 74,000 Amazon reviews don’t lie: the TubShroom will save your drains from clogging up with hair.
