The Stylish Cleaning Products House Beautiful Editors Love
These products look good and work even better.
Shop & Tell is our latest shopping series, featuring thoughtfully curated home finds from House Beautiful editors. Every week we'll take you inside our carts and dish on what we're buying—and why you should be reaching for your wallet too.
A select few of us actually love to clean the house. For the rest, products that are a joy to use can thankfully help take the sting out of the job. As editors, we’re lucky to get to test practically every new spray, soap, and solution that comes on the market, from laundry detergent to carpet cleaners, as well as everyday needs like trash cans and organization helpers like storage bins. That means we get to be picky about what we use at home—and what we recommend to our friends. If we tell you we like something enough to buy it again, that’s saying a lot. Should you need some inspo in this area, House Beautiful staffers are eager to share the products they use every day to keep their homes clean and organized.
“My apartment isn’t really clean until I DEEP clean of the bathroom,” assistant market editor Catherine DiPersico says. She plans to invest in this Umbra over-the-toilet shelf, which is perfect for storing all your personal care products. Meanwhile, senior commerce editor Marina Liao is in love with her wall-mounted jewelry organizer, so if you’re someone who doesn’t want to deal with tangled necklaces anymore, add this to cart. Organizational products aside, let’s get down to the cleaning products that actually work. Editor-approved favorites include cleaning spray and stain removers from The Laundress New York, Dotti sponges, and Grove cleaning solutions. “Grove's cleaning concentrate is my favorite for their light scents and stellar cleaning power,” Digital Editor Kate McGregor says.
As you decide which areas in your home need the most TLC and reassess the cleaning supplies you have on hand, we’re here to help. Ahead, shop our favorite products that will make every cleaning session smoother and easier than ever before.
"I'm a fan of The Laundress's fragrances. The emphasis on scents and bio-based ingredients might lead you to think its products are pretty, not powerful, but that hasn't been the case in my experience. Most of the natural glass cleaners I've tried leave mirrors looking streaky or foggy and smell like vinegar. This one doesn't—it erases spots in one swipe and smells like fresh laundry. Plus, I don't mind leaving the equally clean-looking bottle out for touchups."
—Elyse Moody, Senior Features Editor
"I've always been very into natural, plant-based cleaning products, so when I stumbled upon L'Avant Collective, I was thrilled. It's only a bonus that the packaging is so gorgeous. After reaching for this heavy, thick glass bottle every day, I'll never go back to plastic. I just refill this one. It's less wasteful and way prettier!"
—Jessica Cherner, Associate Shopping Editor
"When Courteney Cox launched Homecourt, she sent me this trio, which smells exactly like steeped roses. The reason? It's actually made with real rose oil, not an artificial fragrance that kind of smells like flowers. The entire formula is all-natural and plant-based, so there's no fear about inhaling or ingesting toxins."
—Jessica Cherner, Associate Shopping Editor
"I am such a huge fan of this vacuum that I co-wrote an essay singing its praises with another editor (and mom) last year. What makes it so great? Three features stand out: 1) It is light, cordless, and easy to maneuver so grabbing it multiple times a week for a quick clean up is truly effortless. 2) The suction is powerful enough to grab every baby crumb and cat fur clump on my floor (and sadly, there is A LOT of both), and 3) It empties itself into a cleaning cylinder, which means no dust is released into the air, and no banging the filter against the trash. When the cleaning cylinder bag is full you simply remove it and throw it away, but I've been using my vacuum for months and have yet to need to do that. Oh, and the vacuum is pretty and sleek enough to sit unobtrusively in a corner. In sum, she's pricey, but she's worth it."
—Olivia Hosken, Deputy Managing Editor
"Earlier this year, Dotti's female founders came to the House Beautiful office to demo their line of cleaning products. I was honestly shocked to find a sponge could be this chic. I store the sage colorway in my kitchen and the blush version in my bathroom. The scrubbers keep my space clean and beautiful even when they aren't in use. In addition to the aesthetic, I love how long they stay clean for and how quickly they dry. Plus, one scrubber is equivalent to six sponges, so I feel even better about my purchase!"
—Katelyn Lunders, Deputy Digital Editor
"There's literally no stain this remover can't get out in a wash or two—even my toddler's favorite turmeric and paprika spiced chicken curry. I just put a little dab on the stain, gently work it in with the damp brush (which actually makes a big difference), and let it sit for a bit before I toss it in the wash. It might seem pricey for a cleaning product, but it's super concentrated and lasts forever. I've had a single bottle for three or four years and still have half left. Plus, using the little brush makes me happy."
—Elyse Moody, Senior Features Editor
"I saw an influencer use this to store her sheets and blankets in a video on my Insta feed, and I immediately saved the product. Currently, my extra bed linens are folded up in a storage bench, but that doesn't feel the most space-saving or organized. I plan to buy a few sets of these organizers this summer so that I can finally store my bedding away in my closet. Plus, I like how the boxes come with labels, so I don't have to go digging around for the right sheets."
—Marina Liao, Senior Commerce Editor
"Spring cleaning always includes a DEEP clean of the bathroom. With that comes a little reorganization too. This new bathroom shelf from Umbra solves one of my biggest pains as a renter in a small apartment: lack of storage."
—Catherine DiPersico, Assistant Market Editor
"There's something about wiping down my kitchen counters that's very therapeutic, but this spring, I don't want to use just any all-purpose cleaner in my home. I've been getting more conscious about avoiding chemical cleaners (for everywhere except the bathroom), and Grove makes it easy to not sacrifice on function. Grove's cleaning concentrate is my favorite for their light scents and stellar cleaning power. Plus, the glass bottles come with labels so you'll never confuse your glass cleaner for your wood one."
—Kate McGregor, Digital Editor
"I have a horrific fear of mold and mildew. The smell alone makes me feel queasy, so I do anything I can to minimize any experiences with mold and mildew. Enter silicone sponges! Because of the material, they don't harbor bacteria, so they'll never smell or even get stained from scrubbing. They're not amazing at getting stuck-on grime, but they're great for everyday dishwashing. These things are truly my saving grace when it comes to cleaning."
—Jessica Cherner, Associate Shopping Editor
"I have a small, narrow deep closet, so I need to utilize the vertical wall space for storage. Nothing fits though, except this jewelry organizer and hooks! At first I was hesitant to buy this because it's not the cutest, but I finally caved when all my necklaces started getting tangled on my dresser. It's been the best $20 I've spent on Amazon! It keeps all my necklaces, bracelets, and even rings neatly organized in one spot. On top, I can store my extra wallet holders, passport, and other miscellaneous items. If you're thinking of spring cleaning your closet and you're a jewelry hoarder like me, you need this."
—Marina Liao, Senior Commerce Editor
"I am a huge proponent of reducing food waste and the two best ways to do this are to be able to see everything in your fridge and to properly store fresh ingredients. The ProKeeper Fridge Storage containers are designed for everything from berries to lettuces, with the goal of keeping your produce fresh longer. The base of the container has a vent and reservoir, so air can flow through and moisture doesn't sit in the bottom—and since the base has a vent it works as a built-in colander, so you can wash and store all at once. Aside from fridge organization, they have pantry systems and spice containers all created to keep your kitchen tidy and preserve all of your ingredients."
—Carisha Swanson, Director of Special Projects
"I'm not going to lie, my spice cabinet could use some love when it comes to organization. I've been wanting a fix for some time now, and this lazy Susan from Umbra is just that! The Bellwood collection is a laid-back kind of chic when it comes to organizing and that's just up my alley!"
—Catherine DiPersico, Assistant Market Editor
"This powerful spin scrubber was taking over my TikTok feed, and seeing as my back struggles when I clean all the nooks and crannies in my tiny apartment bathroom, I figured it was worth a try. Having this and a bottle of Fabuloso does wonders for a deep clean, truly scrubbing at the tile and getting rid of grime. The pointed attachment is great for getting gunk out of corners in my shower, and the flat brush head covers the floor much quicker. It takes up virtually no space to store, too! Beware though, the motor is strong; it can take a little extra strength to keep it steady."
