Prime Day cleaning deals
Last chance! Cash in on these Prime Day cleaning deals to streamline your day-to-day, while supplies last. (Amazon)

Amazon's July Prime Day sale is in full force, with deep discounts on coveted essentials that can help improve your day-to-day. And while other Yahoo editors are focusing on beauty, fashion and tech (we've also rounded up our favorite Prime Day deals across categories), I’m using the sale as an opportunity to tidy up my space.

More specifically, I’m looking to stock up on all of the brands and products I use to run my household (i.e. would be purchasing anyway). From furniture-saving Magic Erasers and internet-famous kitchen towels to hand soap refills and the odor-eliminator every home needs — not to mention some of the cutest Scrub Mommy sponges I’ve seen — read on for a list of my favorite cleaning deals on the internet (and be sure to add to cart before Amazon’s two-day Prime Day concludes this evening).

First up: Magic Erasers. It took me forever to buy some but now that I've been using them for a few years, I can't imagine not having them in my home. The foam sponges are soft enough for more delicate surfaces, such as walls and wood furnishings, yet strong enough to get the job (ahem, sauce or crayon removal) done. I recently had a mini panic attack when I thought fallen pollen from a bunch of lilies had stained my light oak dining table forever and, to my amazement, my Magic Erasers removed each yellow stain one by one.

Scrub Daddy — and Mommy! — sponges have become my go-to for tougher messes (read: greasy pans, dirty tiles and bath scum). They're gritty, squishy and even dishwasher-friendly. They're also just really fun. I scooped up the brand's Fall/Halloween assortment (six total) for 25% off. At only $16 for six, they ring in at less than $3 a pop — about half of the typical cost — and that’s assuming you can even get them, as seasonal shapes are known to sell out.

Mr. Siga's highly rated, often (ineffectively) duplicated cleaning cloths have garnered a reputation — and a following of at least 84,000 Amazon customers — for their soft, durable, absorbent fabric and vibrant color range. I purchased a pack on sale for almost half off to replace (or at least reduce) my paper towels as a way to stop liquid messes in their tracks and save money (and the environment) on single-use products.

As someone who works from home and loves to cook, I go through a lot of dish soap. I like how this one from Seventh Generation is made free and clear (without any harsh fragrances or dyes), while still managing to tackle the load at hand. I recently purchased a six-pack for just over $14 — two-ish dollars a bottle — so I won’t have to worry about running out for a while. (The brand’s regular and power dishwasher pods are also on sale for when a deeper clean is in order).

Between kitchen and bathroom use, hand soap is another product I frequently go through, with Mrs. Meyers biodegradable formula among my go-tos. Last time I checked, you could scoop up a 48-ounce refill tub — around $2 a soap when you consider the brand’s usual 12-ounce portions — of the Lemon Verbena scent, an amazing deal and a great idea for anyone else who wants to cut back on single-use bottles going into the environment. I may also pick up a three-pack for 25% off, or under $4 a bottle, for traveling and gifting.

Caldrea is a brand I rely on to keep my kitchen looking nice and smelling fresh (their cleaning and room sprays are airy and bright). I'm currently getting low on the Tangelo Palm Frond line and am planning to switch things up with Sweet Pea (multi-surface cleanser and air freshener) next. I love to give Caldrea home products as birthday gifts — both as is and with other items in baskets — so it;s also nice to have a few extras around.

If it were up to me, every bathroom would come (and remain) equipped with a bottle of Home- or Poo-Pourri (or two!). I like how the brand’s stink solutions actually break up — versus just mask — air molecules and that they don’t leave any funky, overwhelming scents (i.e. secrets) behind. I also try to keep a few travel sizes in my weekend bag and everyday tote for vacation bathroom and keeping things classy on the go.

I’ve recently replaced big, clunky laundry detergent bottles in an attempt to preserve space in my small laundry room. If that sounds like you, or you just want to do something solid for the environment, over 7,000 Amazon reviewers say these power sheets from Arm & Hammer should do the trick. "Better than expected!" wrote one customer. "Excellent performance and ready for travel," added another. Scoop them up for 40% off — or $9, less than 10 cents a load — and consider throwing in some laundry cleaning pods or a dryer vent cleaner hose to get the most out of your machines, as well.
