Sexy cleaning products are the ones you know you need and/or desperately want. Think: A Dyson vacuum, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers and Clorox wipes. Meanwhile, unsexy cleaning products are things you don’t think you need. Those things that look like they belong on the shelves of a local hardware store, and you would never even think about buying on Black Friday. Again, a Dyson cordless vacuum exists, so why would you get a portable carpet cleaner?

But the world is full of unsexy cleaning gadgets that will transform your home into a clean, sexy space. We’re talking about steam cleaners, drain snakes, car detailers and dryer vent cleaners. Yes, dryer vent cleaners. Scroll below to shop the best unsexy cleaning gadgets you can grab on Amazon right now.
