Spring cleaning must-haves from Yahoo Shopping Editors
"I get really excited at the thought of using this steam cleaner - and no, it's not just me saying that. While it works just about anywhere, I especially love it on areas that are a pain to keep clean, like window rails, my microwave and the grout between floor tiles. Although it only uses water, Bissell claims it eliminates 99.9% of germs and bacteria. That means it's a cleaner and disinfectant in one. What's better than that?!" -Amanda Garrity, Gift Guides Editor

"I enjoy cleaning (most of the time), but I despise cleaning the shower. It's so hard to get to all that mortar. After hearing so much about how great this scrubber is, I decided it was time to give it a try - and man, does this thing work? All I have to do is hold it in place and it does most of the work for me. But the benefits don't stop there! The multiple cleaning heads mean I can use it for any job that requires more than average elbow grease, even cleaning the fresh coat of paint...sorry, I mean pollen, from my car.' -Patrick Hearn, deals writer

"I hate cleaning the bathroom. Mold, mildew, and soap scum annoy me more than anything. I hated looking at my filthy shower, but also dreaded spending hours scrubbing away all the grime. I decided to try this mold removal gel. You apply it, let it sit for 5 to 8 hours and then wipe it clean. I'm happy to report that it actually works! The most annoying parts of my shower are now bright white thanks to this Amazon one find." -Jeanine Edwards, commercial director

"Fabuloso will always be, well, one awesome choice for cleaning dirt and grime from a wide variety of surfaces - my personal favorite use? Getting floors spotless! It's incredibly affordable: less than $5 per bottle, and because it's a 2x concentrated formula, a little goes a long way. Plus, that fresh lavender scent always reminds me how clean everything is when I'm done." -Carrie McCabe, senior deals writer

"Despite the constant mopping, the wooden floors in my apartment looked cluttered rough - like abandoned house rough. No Pine Sol or Fabuloso helped. So in an effort to give them a little new life without annoying my landlord for a drastic freshening, I bought this cleaning and polishing combo. And let me tell you: this stuff brought them back to a shimmering, bowling alley-like shine. The results went beyond what I thought this stuff would do, and I couldn't be happier." -Scott Simone, editor-in-chief
