This post is all about: The Best Cleaning Supplies From Amazon To Always Have Around
Yesterday, I spilled my venti mocha coffee drink all over the arm rest and cushion of my couch. Later that day, my son got red hair spray paint all over another cushion of the same couch. Ugh, 2020.
I used my new Bissell Little Green Machine, which I love, to try to conquer the messes. It worked pretty dang well considering the scope of the red and dark brown stains on the light gray couch.
But, I wanted to see if I could get the stains out totally, so I do what I do best and asked the good people on Instagram.
This isn’t the first time I’ve asked a cleaning question on my page and my follower/friends always come through! So, I decided to put their recommendations along with my own in one comprehensive post for you! Best yet, you can order these all online if you don’t want to go to the store!
Now is a great time to stock up a bit on cleaning supplies. Not only for Covid reasons but also because winter is coming and that means everyone will be inside. Making messes. Trudging in slushy snow. Sneezing and coughing. Spilling things. I could go on, but I digress. Let’s just get to the good stuff!

BEST AMAZON CLEANING SUPPLIES:
FOR YOUR LAUNDRY
Downy Infusions Lavender and Vanilla Bean Fabric Softener
This smells so friggin good. Your sheets will thank you, your nose will thank you, anyone within sniffing distance will thank you!
See My Post On Deep Cleaning Your Laundry With These 3 Items
Arm & Hammer Laundry Booster, Borax*, and Tide Powder
I also use the Tide Powder for all of my regular laundering (and when I mop the floors -mixed with lots of hot water!)
Using a spray or gel to pretreat anything my kids get on their clothes is my only hope of ever getting the stain out. My kids are little and MESSY with grass, dirt, or food on their clothes every single day. You can leave this on for up to a week before you actually wash the item! I go through a lot of this stuff since I don’t do laundry every day!
BEST AMAZON CLEANING SUPPLIES:
FOR YOUR FLOORS
The O-Cedar Spin Mop And Bucket
This mop can be used on pretty much any hard surface you can imagine! I use it on my hardwood floors and I’ve even mopped my Trex deck with it.
You won’t believe how dirty your floors actually are when you dump out the water! It’s nearly black! Bleeeegh!
I use mine with 1 little teaspoon of Tide Laundry Powder mixed with very very hot water. The Tide smells great while mopping!
Reader Recommended!
If you read the opening paragraph of my post, this is the number one spot treater that my reader friends recommended for my couch stains! Would work on carpet and upholstery.
Carpet Vacuum and Hardwood Floor Vacuum– I don’t have a link for either of these because I have not found ones that I love. It will be different depending on your own home- type of flooring, if you have a pet that sheds, etc. For example, the Dyson Cordless Stick Vac was great for dog hair but terrible at picking up crumbs.
BEST AMAZON CLEANING SUPPLIES:
FOR YOUR KITCHEN
Bar Keepers Friend was another recommendation from my Instagram community and the number of people that recommended this for a sink stain I had was overwhelming. Like, I had this stainless steal sink stain for 5 years and I tried a lot of different things to get rid of it, including Magic Erasers which usually work on everything!
But, it was the Bar Keepers Friend that worked like magic to get rid of the marks after FIVE YEARS of set in stain.
(I tried the powder kind too and I prefer the liquid)
If you have stainless steel appliances, this is a must. Other products will clean them, but you need this special polish to get them streak free, shiny, and pretty again.
BEST AMAZON CLEANING SUPPLIES:
FOR YOUR BATHROOMS
Comet with Bleach and Scrub Brush
This cleaning product comes recommended by my mom. I clearly remember her scrubbing our bathtub on the regular with this stuff.
Unfortunately, I did not inherit my mom’s penchant for cleaning bathtubs and ours have built up and gotten scuzzier than I’d care to admit. I tried a few sprays made for tubs and showers but the Comet with Bleach and a nice stiff scrub brush was the only thing that worked. And it worked well! My tubs look brand new after I use this!
There is nothing grosser to me than cleaning the toilet. But then, to leave the brush that you scrubbed it with just sitting there in bathroom. NO THANKS!
So, I use these disposable things and I keep a set in each bathroom.
FOR YOUR FURNITURE:
I recently bought the older version of this (no longer available on Amazon Prime) and it has already come in handy several times! I used it on my steps and it got out all kinds of stains, on my couch for my recent spills, and in my studio where it got out a champagne stain that sat there for about a year and drove me nuts until I finally used this on it!
Gawd, why does everything get dusty sooo fast?! I like these because they are quick to use and you can reach high spaces with them. DUSTING SUCKS but at least these make is easier!
