10 genius tools to help you clean all the places in your house you should be cleaning — but probably aren't

Bathroom sink clogged? No need to remove the stopper — just finagle this guy down the drain and give it a spin. The “micro hooks” on the pipe cleaner-like gadget will dislodge all that nastiness. You’ll be free-flowing in no time.

Scary but true: Lint buildup in your dryer can cause fires. Eliminate the risk by cleaning those ducts with this tool that extends up to 12 feet. You can turn it manually or, for longer ductwork, attach it to a drill. And prepare to be shocked at the amount of gunk that comes out.

Sure, you can toss in a lemon to spruce up that garage disposal. But to really sanitize the pipes, you’ll want something stronger. These biodegradable lemon-scented foaming packets eradicate grime and odors from all parts of the unit — sidewalls, blades and under the splashguard — and leave behind a nice fresh scent.

Your water bottle needs more than a mere rinse-and-go (yes, even Stanleys!). Harmful bacteria could be lurking on its wall and within its interior crevices. This antibacterial long-handled silicone brush will do the trick while repelling mold and mildew (unlike standard sponges).

Sometimes no matter how hard you scrub the toilet, stains just won’t budge. That’s because the spots are actually lime buildup or rust. This pumice-stone-on-a-stick works insanely well, but it’s gentle, so it won’t scratch your beloved bowl.

Thought picking out random hairs was enough to clean your hairbrushes? It’s not. This mini rake-like gizmo gets every last strand. And if you want to thoroughly sanitize your brush, follow with hot soapy water rinse.

Sometimes your morning sanity-saver (aka Keurig brewer) starts turning out odd-tasting joe or inconsistent pours. When that happens, run it with one of these schmutz-busting pods and then again with just water, and you’ll be back to that yummy coffee you depend on in no time. Nontoxic and biodegradable.

Super-stiff nylon bristles and an easy-to-grab handle make light work of pesky grout gunk (think tubs, backsplashes, floors, anywhere tricky tile presents itself). The bright brush is designed to handle heavy-duty cleaners without bending or damaging the bristles. So go hard, or go home.

If you clean your sliding glass door tracks regularly, then feel free to skip ahead. If you’re like the rest of us, get this brush immediately! Use it to sweep away debris from door and window tracks; the scraper on the handle dislodges stubborn crud. Then grab a wet paper towel or hand vac to get your door back on track for good.

Like a cozy mitten for your ceiling fan, this microfiber sleeve slides right over its blades, trapping dust so it doesn’t drop down onto your floor — or head! And oh yeah: It’s machine washable!
