Promising review: “I am so glad I found this!!! I clean my shower every week but I have never been able to get the stains/hard water, whatever this grime is off. I had tried every product known to man. I cleaned my tub with good ol' fashion elbow grease and then used my same weekly cleaner I always do with this drill attachment. Obviously my arm doesn't have the same rotation speed as this but dannggg...I also used it on my very dirty white bathroom floor grout. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, it saves your arm!!” —Mia
Price: $14.49 (originally $18.95)

Promising review: “OMG, best purchase ever!!! Debated this for months after being spammed by TikTok influencer videos, so glad I bought it. I have tile floors and white walls in my apartment and I use this mop to clean everything, I just swap out mop heads. Definitely worth the money!” —Jenn

Promising review: “I have sensitive skin so using gloves is a must for me. These gloves work great! They don't stick to my hands after a long time of use, and I don't have that funky smell left over on my hands either. The length is perfect and they're very strong. It takes a lot for these gloves to get torn or punctured.” —Bev
