Cleaning and Disinfecting Wipes
Method All-Purpose Cleaning Wipes
These thick wipes were among our favorites. Not only did they clean all surfaces well, but they were drier than most wipes, so there’s no waiting for your surfaces to dry. They feature a pleasant, pink grapefruit scent. They’re 25% off.
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% off.
Garden Hose Nozzles
This garden hose nozzle has ten (rather than the typical eight) watering patterns. It’s excellent for misting, so we’d recommend it if you have delicate plants that require gentle watering.
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 large 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).
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.
Pill Organizers
Pillar Plus XL 7-Day Pill Organizer
The Pillar Plus is a solid travel-friendly pill organizer, and it’s cute, too. It doesn’t look especially like a pill organizer, so if discretion is a necessity, we’d recommend it.
Quart Bags
GreeneWrap Compostable Zip Quart Bags
If a quart bag can be luxurious, these compostable ones might earn that accolade. They’re made of thick, semi-opaque green compostable plastic with clearly marked label areas (and a calendar!) for easy storage.
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.
Shower Cleaners
Method Eucalyptus Mint Daily Shower Cleaner Spray
This lovely-smelling shower spray works well as a cleaner, and also claims to prevent shower scum buildup. It works best when sprayed liberally.
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
Angel Soft Soft and Strong
Angel Soft is a gentle, two-ply toilet paper that’s a great pick for sensitive skin, and it’s budget-friendly while still breaking down well in older plumbing and septic systems. The trade-off is that it isn’t very strong and can be a little frustrating to start on a new roll because of the extra glue holding it closed.
Cottonelle Ultra Clean
Plush but linty, this toilet paper has great abrasion resistance, so shouldn’t unpleasantly rip during use. It’s not great for septic systems, though.
