These genius finds are trending for a reason.

As shopping editors, it’s our job to keep tabs on the most worthy buys out there at any given moment, but here’s a secret: Sometimes we get our best ideas from customers themselves. We keep a close eye on Amazon’s Movers & Shakers page to track what’s popular with real buyers in real time — and that’s exactly how we tapped the viral home upgrades on this list.
Some of these products have style in spades while others solve seemingly impossible household dilemmas. Take a look before these trending home finds sell out.
01
The cult-favorite cleaning paste that tackles any household job (really)
Replace your arsenal of cleaning fluids with this simple, versatile cleaning paste that’s earned more than 100,000 perfect five-star rating on Amazon. Costing less than the price of a latte, this paste removes dirt, grease, and grime from just about anything: ceramic, metal, shower doors, stainless steel, porcelain, pots and pans — you name it. One reviewer wrote, “I thought my pan was ruined, until I found this stuff. I used a dry washcloth and covered the pan with the pink stuff and with effortless scrubbing, it was basically brand new again.”
02
The power scrubber that cleans without a bunch of elbow grease
Multiple reviewers have raved this battery-operated power scrubber is “so satisfying” to use, and it’s easy to see why. The brush head operates 60 times per second, working to whisk away dirt and grime from tiny places that are otherwise impossible to tackle — think: grout, grill grates, and the nooks and crevices of sink fixtures. It’s water-resistant and features both continuous and pulse scrubbing settings.
