This anti-static spray aced our static test. It did a good job at removing static electricity from toddler socks and microfiber cloths. Note, however, that the scent is quite strong. It’s discounted 15 percent.

This basic static spray comes in an easy-to-use aerosol can. It has a light, albeit artificial, smell that’s unlikely to be noticeable to anyone a few moments after spraying. Use sparingly, as aerosols can emit olatile organic compounds (VOCs).

The best feature about this caulk is that it does not require a caulk gun to dispense. In our tests, it had the second-best adhesion on painted wood and worked just as well after being exposed to extreme cold and hot temperatures.

These wipes required an extra swipe to remove jam from a stovetop and their smell is very strong. That being said, they cleaned up sriracha well, and were easy to remove from its packaging. 

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. 

This classic, bright, concentrated cleaner can be used on most home surfaces. In our tests, it was especially good at lifting dirt from floors. It’s strongly scented, but if you’re looking for a bargain, it’s a solid buy, especially at 25% off.

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.

The long-lasting suds produced by this dish soap left all our dishes clean with little effort. It’s mildly scented, easy to dispense, and didn’t leave dishes smelling like the dish soap post-wash. The formula left our hands feeling a little bit dry.

This was the only fabric deodorizer that helped rid fabrics of a strong, unpleasant onion odor in our lab. It’s unscented, so it doesn’t just mask odors, but eliminates them. It also did not stain any of the materials we used in testing.

This well-known glass cleaner left mirrors, windows, stovetops, and glass shower doors absolutely flawless in our testing. It is made with ammonia, so avoid using it on tinted windows or other surfaces that may be damaged.

If you’re looking for elevated scents in your household cleaners, this glass cleaner from Mrs.Meyer’s fits the bill. It also performed well in our tests, leaving minimal streaks on mirrors and windows.

This foaming glass cleaner delivers a mess-free cleaning experience with the powerful cleaning you expect from Windex. Use it to clean glass, ceramic tiles, countertops, and even appliances.

Persil Sensitive liquid laundry detergent is a Green Choice product, meaning it has a lower environmental and health impact due to its ingredients, certifications, and recyclable packaging. In our tests, it excelled at removing chocolate stains from fabrics. It also handled body oil, dirt, and blood very well.

These pods from Tide have extra odor-eliminating ingredients that help remove stubborn smells from clothing. They worked really well at eliminating most stains in our lab tests, including dirt and salad dressing.

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.

This cleaner works quickly—perhaps because it sprays more product than other bottles in our evaluations, particularly at removing grease from a stovetop. It does have a strong lemon scent, however, and isn’t the best option for stainless steel. 

This powder cleaned stainless steel sinks beautifully, and was able to erase scratch marks on ceramic plates well. All but one of its ingredients are included in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safer Chemical Ingredients List (the only powder cleanser in our evaluations to boast this). 

Although hard to close, these are very sturdy quart 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.

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. 

This giant roll of Charmin toilet paper looks like a joke, but its performance in our tests was anything but. It’s easy to tear, abrasion-resistant, and very strong. Due to its size, it will not fit on most standard toilet paper holders.

This toilet paper is three-ply, extra thick, and is the strongest we tested. It’s linty, though (like most thick TPs) and isn’t great for septic systems or other sensitive plumbing situations. 

This bamboo TP was a top performer in our tests. It isn’t, however, extremely soft. Each roll is individually wrapped. 

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.
