The pros at the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Cleaning Lab understand the importance — and challenges — of finding the right cleaning products to tackle household chores. For decades, we have provided advice and product testing recommendations to help you select the cleaning formulas and appliances that work best, are easiest to use and save you time and effort. We’re thrilled to present our third annual Best Cleaning Product Awards to showcase the top-performing, most innovative products that make quick work of caring for your home.
Meet the Experts
How We Tested
To select these 57 top-performers for our 2021 Good Housekeeping Cleaning Awards, our GH Cleaning Lab and GH Institute pros as well as almost 70 consumer testers washed, scrubbed, vacuumed and polished their way through sprays, wipes, appliances and more, assessing 10,659 data points to find these winning products. When testing 150 cleaning product submissions, we used industry and in-house developed protocols to evaluate how well, for example, laundry detergents remove stains, how thoroughly washing machines launder clothing and how well multi-purpose cleaners cut grease.
We tested floor cleaners and tools on wood, tile, laminate, and vinyl floors, and assessed how much dirt and pet hair stick and robot vacuum cleaners removed from carpeting and bare floors. We evaluated germ-killing disinfectants, as well as dish soaps, bathroom cleaners, odor eliminators, outdoor cleaning products and more. Our consumer testers provided invaluable feedback about what worked and what didn’t, how easy they found the products to use, how the test products compared to their usual brands and whether they would buy them.

Quiet with lots of great cycles, it cleaned whatever we loaded in. The drum is treated to minimize germ growth, and when they’re stacked, you can set the dryer from the washer’s control panel. No more stretching!

Red Wine Stain Remover
amazon.com
$9.76
If you love cabernet or merlot, keep a bottle of Wine Away close by. It’s a repeat Cleaning Award winner and a favorite of the GH Cleaning Lab.
LAB RESULTS This miracle worker effectively cleans washable clothing, upholstery and carpeting. It was tops in our last test of red wine stain removers, and its citrus extracts erase berry and coffee stains and more. One tester noted, “It’s every clumsy wine lover’s dream.”
Skin-Friendly Liquid Detergent
Hygienic Clean Heavy Duty 10X Free Liquid Laundry Detergent
Protecting sensitive skin is about more than avoiding dyes and fragrances. Detergent must remove deeply trapped soils that can be irritating. GH Seal star Tide’s Hygienic Clean Free formula does both.
LAB RESULTS In Lab tests, this Tide completely erased ketchup, grass and red wine stains from cotton. It also eliminated odors and left towels clean and without added scent.
Ace Appliance Cleaner

LAB RESULTS For one tester, it erased set-in berry and grass stains, and we got very good Lab results on our tough stains too. Dried ketchup was history!
Genius Germ Zapper
Fabric Sanitizer Spray

Static-Stopping Sheets

LAB RESULTS In our GH tests, these jumbo sheets left fabrics softer than traditional sheets and helped eliminate clingy fuzz. One tester commented, “For people with pets, it’s way more effective than other sheets I’ve used at removing pet hair.”
Do-Good Detergent
Laundry Detergent
aspenclean.com
$21.99
Laundry detergents have a hard job to do. They need to clean and whiten, remove stains and odors, be safe for fabrics and work in all water temperatures. Not all make the cut. Aspen Clean’s plant-based formula was up to the task, putting other green—and regular—competitors in our test to shame.
LAB RESULTS The biodegradable, plant-derived ingredients in Aspen Clean did a very good job removing most of our dried, set-in stains and it completely removed coffee and ketchup from cotton without pretreating. Consumer testers loved the lavender and lemongrass essential oil scent. Kudos, too, that the bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic.

Stellar Robot Vac Mop
S7
walmart.com
$649.99
Robots that both dry-vacuum and wet-mop — usually with just water — are all the rage. Roborock’s S7 outshone the others we tested.
LAB RESULTS This little champ moved easily from bare floors to carpets, got under low furniture and fully covered our test areas. Setup is simple, and it has high-end features. Its mop uses sound waves to scrub and lifts to keep carpets dry. The app works like a charm.
Slimmest Stick Vacuum
Wandvac System WS620
Big vacs with lots of tools are great, but not for every home or every task. Shark’s Wandvac System is ideal for small spaces and quick cleanups.

Can-Do Canister Vacuum
Classic C1 Cat & Dog Powerline Canister Vacuum
When a stick or robot vac won’t cut it — as when deep-cleaning a carpet — GH Seal star Miele’s canister is the best choice.
LAB RESULTS Miele vacuums do best in our Lab tests at picking up and trapping dirt. This model uses a bag — a plus for allergy sufferers — and has a mini turbo tool to nab pet hair along with a powered nozzle, a bare-floor brush, other attachments and a filter that traps odors.
Deep-Cleaning Steam Mop
Steam & Scrub Mop S7000
walmart.com
$129.00

LAB RESULTS All you need to do is guide this Shark mop as it pretty much does the cleaning for you. It’s lightweight and super simple to use and three steam levels let you tailor the steam output to the job at hand. The microfiber pads emerged from the wash looking brand new.

Fastest Disinfecting Spray
Multi-Surface Disinfectant & Cleaner (4-pack)
cleanboss.co

With plant-based disinfectants, there’s often a trade-off: They can take 10 minutes to work fully. Not this one: Clean Boss kills bacteria, fungi and viruses in four minutes or less.

Top-Notch Towels

Toughest Wipes
Multi-Purpose Paper Towel Wipes
Cleaning wipes have been a lifesaver this past year. But good as they are, some tear easily, fail to trap dirt or wimp out. Clorox Paper Towel Wipes are strong, zap grime and sanitize surfaces.
LAB RESULTS We found too many uses to count for them. We cleaned counters, stovetops, faucets, trash cans, toilets and more. A tester raved, “They wiped up crumbs, dirt and spills with ease.”
Fastest Fabric Refresher
Antibacterial Fabric Spray
Killing germs on hard surfaces has become a no-brainer this past year, but non-washable soft surfaces, like sofas and throw pillows, present a different challenge. GH Seal star Tide Antibacterial Fabric Spray kills 99.9% of two types of common bacteria on fabrics and helps eliminate odors in five minutes.
LAB RESULTS This EPA-registered spray provides a fast, easy way to sanitize well-used and hard-to-wash household fabrics. Testers liked it for bedding, furniture, and even to extend clothing wear. And did we mention, it works on hard surfaces, too?

A marble bathroom is beautiful, but when it’s time to clean it, you’ll find that most products say they shouldn’t be used on natural stone. Granite Gold’s Shower Cleaner provides a solution.
LAB RESULTS This neutral cleaner from a family of stone experts isn’t acidic, so it won’t etch marble or granite, yet it effectively cleaned and erased soap scum from tile and tubs in our tests.
Longest-Lasting Air Freshener
Fade Defy Plug

Plug-in devices have “Set it and forget it” convenience, but when the scent fades, you forget all about them. GH Seal star Febreze’s new Fade Defy Plug blows other fresheners away.
