'Dishwashers need space in between dishes and crockery in order to circulate water, so you're not saving any money by squeezing everything into your machine.'

One of the most effective ways to clean your home is to work from top to bottom. This ensures that whatever dirt or dust is lurking above falls down first, so you're not forced to redo any of the hard work you've already done below.

The results? They picked out 26 cleaning solutions, calling them their favorites. From tried-and-true staples to brand-new discoveries, see below for our top picks.

Reverse driving accounts for just 1% of all driving time, yet it's responsible for roughly 25% of all accidents. A dirty backup camera in winter, mud season, or on dusty country roads is not a hypothetical inconvenience but a genuine safety liability, one that most drivers have resigned themselves to either living with or solving by stepping out of the car every time.

Washing machine rubber door seals are one of the biggest hidden breeding grounds for mould in the home. They trap moisture, detergent residue and fabric fibres during and after washes, creating the perfect warm, damp environment for mould and bacteria to thrive.

All of the grease, oil, baked-on food residues, and other debris can also be a fire hazard. When you use your oven, this debris could be releasing dangerous, and even toxic, smoke and fumes into your home. Dirty ovens even reduce the overall lifespan of your appliance, and can lower its efficiency and damage heating components.

I have to admit something: When I woke up this morning, I was not entirely sure what a baseboard was. I knew it had to do with the floors in some way, but it was just one of those terms I never bothered to look up. Meanwhile, I've spent years wondering if there was a better way to get all the dust off that raised edge that sits between the floor and the walls. Humbling!

Phones go to bed dirty. They've been in your hands, on tables, in pockets, collecting bacteria all day, and they usually charge on a nightstand next to where you sleep without ever being cleaned. UV sanitizers exist, but most are clinical white boxes that feel more like medical equipment than something you'd want on your bedside table, and they rarely do anything beyond sterilization.

When it comes to finding the best vacuums on Amazon, our editors are seasoned pros. We've been testing every model on the market from the most sought-after cordless vacuums to robot vacuums for years now, including longtime best-sellers as well as new and notable picks from names like Dyson, Levoit, and Eufy.

Weighing only 26.5 ounces, it's the lightest steam iron Panasonic has ever made. It's also cordless, comes with a handy carrying case, and heats up in 50 seconds on the accompanying power base (that plugs into a standard electrical outlet). The power base features a built-in cord compartment to make setup and storage easy. So already it solves some of my biggest gripes with traditional irons.

My favorite feature on a robot vacuum is hands-down the roller mop. I bought my first Roborock seven years ago, and its microfiber mop pad was a game-changer for me as a busy mom with a toddler and baby, even if I had to wash it a couple of times during a cleaning session. Little did I know that I'd test Roborock's first roller mop robot nearly a decade later.

Among the shampoo, soap, and conditioner bottles in my shower, I also keep two cleaning tools: a dish wand and squeegee. They both have become a crucial part of my cleaning routine, and help me keep my shower clean on a regular basis. For anyone who has a glass shower door, a squeegee is a must-have tool to keep the glass free of streaks - and this one by OXO is my absolute favorite. Here's why.

Eureka's new Z50 robovac comes equipped with a roller mop that it will automatically lift and shield before vacuuming your carpets, preventing them from getting wet. The roller mop cover is similar to the one we saw on the Roomba Max 705 Combo last year, but it's available for a "tentative" cost of $800 as opposed to $1,299.99. The cover aims to solve the wet carpet dilemma that plagues mopping robovacs, as many can't

I, let's be clear, am not. But I can share what it's like to make the jump from an entry-level model to one of these multifunctional combo units, something I imagine many Verge readers have considered. To say I'm impressed by the performance of the drone maker's first and best robot vacuum is an understatement. But I'm also not convinced anyone should spend over $2,000 for the DJI Romo P, regardless of how much I like its transparent looks.

The Bissell Crosswave OmniFind Multi-Surface Cleaner is a cordless device that mops and vacuums at the same time. The cleaner offers up to 25 minutes of use on a full charge and includes a charging base for docking. Designed for various surfaces - including rugs, hardwood, and tile - it features FurFinder headlights to reveal hidden pet hair and messes. It also separates clean and dirty water using two tanks and has a bagless design (just empty the canister when it's full).

I love a good vacuum, and since I live in a household with a no-shoes policy, I'm extra invested in making sure my bare (or socked) feet don't feel dirty all the time. I've relied on a corded vacuum for years, but in my small NYC apartment, it sometimes feels too bulky to properly move around. Plus, it's so heavy that vacuuming can feel like an entire workout, especially when I'm cleaning up pet hair off the sofa.

In an Instagram Reel, creator @alyssalanemcnair demonstrates using a leaf blower indoors to push debris out from under furniture, along baseboards, and out of tight, hard-to-reach spaces. The concept is simple: Instead of vacuuming or sweeping, you use the airflow to move dirt, dust, and debris out from areas traditional tools struggle to reach. It sounds chaotic (and it definitely looks dramatic), but in practice, it's surprisingly strategic - especially if you're intentional about where the mess is being directed.
