Disinfecting Wipes
Clorox Disinfecting Wipes
These wipes required an extra swipe to remove jam from a stovetop and their smell is very strong. That being said, they cleaned up sriracha well, and were easy to remove from its packaging.
Dish Soap
Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dish Soap
This dish soap produced rich suds and had an elevated, herbal scent like no other we tested. It is also available in an easy-to-dispense 16-ounce bottle. It’s currently 20 percent off.
Dawn Platinum Dishwashing Liquid Dish Soap
This dish soap from Dawn is great. It produced rich suds in warm water, cleaned dishes easily, and was easy to pour. When we compared its performance to that of two other dish soaps from the brand, there were few differences. Grab this one while its on sale to keep your kitchen stocked.
Dishwasher Detergent
This dishwasher detergent earned great scores in our tests. It cleans well and minimizes film and discoloration on dishes.
Flushable Wipes
Cottonelle Flushable Wipes
Cottonelle’s flushable wipes clean well, dispense easily from the packaging, and are quite strong. They are, however, scented, and we found they left more moisture on the skin than other wipes in our tests. These were also among the worst performers in our drain tests.
Grout Pens
X-Protector Tile Pens
This grout pen has a super-precise tip, making small grout lines easier to access. It doesn’t clump up or get uneven after a few minutes of use.
Ice Packs
Igloo Maxcold Medium Ice Freeze Block
This ice pack freezes remarkably quickly for its size. It’s a well-priced pick for the balance of cooling, size, and freezing speed that it offers (and it’s even better on sale).
Liquid Laundry Detergents and Pacs
Overall, these detergent pacs are a very good choice. They excelled at removing chocolate and blood in our lab tests. They were less effective against other messes like grass, coffee, and body oil.
This liquid laundry detergent from Tide performed best in removing body oil, salad dressing, and chocolate. Its results against first and grass stains were very good too. Even in hard water, it performed well.
In our tests, it excelled at removing chocolate stains from fabrics. It also handled body oil, dirt, and blood very well.
This two times concentrated formula from Persil removed chocolate, coffee, body oil, and dirt stains very well in our tests. At 35 percent off, it’s a great time to stock up if this is your family’s go-to detergent.
This laundry detergent dirt, chocolate, and salad dressing stains well. We don’t recommend it for blood and grass stains, but at this price, it’s worth considering.
Multipurpose Cleaners
Mrs. Meyers Multisurface Everyday Cleaner
Mrs. Meyer’s Multisurface Everyday Cleaner worked well to clean up light-to-moderate messes in our testing. Its scent is light and pleasant. Our tester found that oily and greasy messes required more effort to clean than with some other multipurpose cleaners tested.
Paper Towels
Bounty Select-A-Size Triple Rolls Paper Towels
These paper towels aced our lab tests, earning the second-highest scores for water absorption and wet strength, and the highest score for faux vomit pickup and scrubbing strength. We also found it to be very reusable and easy to rip just one sheet at a time from the roll.
Brawny Tear-A-Square 3-Ply Paper Towels
These 3-ply paper towels are strong–stronger than every other model we tested. Sheets are highly reusable, absorbent, and normally cost just 2 cents per sheet, making them a great buy.
Scott Choose-a-Sheet Paper Towels
Though this wasn’t in our top 3 favorite paper towels, this 1-ply option wowed our tester with its ability otpick up chunky oatmeal messes. Their texture is rougher than the other models we tested and they are quite strong.
Parchment Paper
Reynolds Kitchen Cookie Baking Sheets Pre-Cut Parchment Paper
These pre-cut sheets of parchment paper were our second-favorite pre-cut option. No oil seeped through the sheets in our tests. At 20 percent off, this is a great deal to stock up before holiday baking begins.
Quart Bags
Ziploc Storage Quart Bags
Although hard to close, these are very sturdy bags, and make a great option for parents with toddlers who have a penchant for throwing their snacks. We love their stand-up bottom, which makes it easier to add foods without making a mess. These are perfect for food prep and leftovers.
Amazon Basics Quart Slider Storage Bags
These bags were the most puncture-resistant in our tests and the easiest to use. Even without this steep Prime Big Deal Day discount, they’re among the least expensive models we tested, making them a great buy during this sales event.
Stain Removers
Shout Triple-Acting Active Enzyme Laundry Stain Remover Spray
This was the second-best laundry stain remover we tested. It completely eliminated blood and oil stains from cotton fabrics. It was also the only model we tested with instructions printed in both English and Spanish.
OxiClean Max Force Laundry Stain Treater Spray
We did not make our tests easy when we tested laundry stain removers. OxiClean Max Force performed better than all the rest. It lightened even the toughest stains like concealer and mustard and you can pre-treat stains up to a week in advance.
Folex Instant Carpet Spot Remover
This did not perform well on fluffy carpets, but excelled at removing stains from velvet and polyester-linen blend pillow covers. The instructions on the bottle are easy to read thanks to its large, clear print.
Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray
This really is a stain remover for messy eaters. In our lab tests, it performed best against food stains like coffee, chipotle pepper sauce, chocolate syrup, and oil. It’s also the only stain remover we tested with the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Choice label. Grab it on sale while you can–it’s the priciest model we tried.
Shout Carpet Set-In Stain Lifter Spray
None of the carpet stain removers we tested were able to remove all of our test stains, but this one performed best after just one treatment. Its scent is light and does not linger on carpets for long.
Stainless Steel Cleaners
Sprayway Stainless Steel Cleaner & Polish
This was one of the most expensive—and effective—stainless steel cleaners in our tests, so snatching up a can or two at 28 percent off seems well-advised. It cleans remarkably well, and didn’t leave a sudsy film after use.
Toilet Paper
Who Gives A Crap 100% Bamboo Toilet Paper
Though not especially soft, this 3-ply bamboo toilet paper is practically lint-free and beat other popular TP brands like Charmin and Cottonelle in our lab tests. If you keep your extra TP rolls out in the open, each roll is packaged in paper with cute designs.
Reel Bamboo Toilet Paper
This bamboo TP was a top performer in our tests. It isn’t, however, extremely soft. Each roll is individually wrapped.
Quilted Northern Ultra Plush
This toilet paper is three-ply, extra thick, and is the strongest we tested. It’s linty, though (like most thick TPs), and isn’t great for septic systems or other sensitive plumbing situations.
