From the mini power drill-style scrubber that cleans every small stain to the product that will give any bathroom a luxury feel, sometimes there are amazing gadgets & gear you don’t even know you need until you have them.
That’s why we’re coming up with the coolest gadgets each month. This month, products will help out all around the home with a hack to make any switch turn on and off for you and ways to take your cleaning to the next level.
1. SwitchBot Smart Switch Button Pusher
If you’ve ever wanted to turn something on without being home, this is essentially a sticker that will press any button for you. You can stick it to a coffee machine or a light switch, connect it to your smartphone or computer, and click the power button or switch remotely.
If you already use a smart-home system like Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can set up your SwitchBot to connect to them. This will let you get rid of those old-school timers to turn lights on in your home, and no wires or plugs are required. It works with several types of buttons and switches, so you can turn on (and off) almost anything you need.
- Universal - Works well with just about any rocker switch and button of any appliance. Smart button pusher for your smart home. Supports Press mode/Switch mode. With the included Add-on sticker, switch mode helps to turn your light on/off.

3. Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner
Around since 1985, one bottle of this pink miracle cleaner will go a long way. This cleaner is a concentrate, so all you need is a drop to remove almost stains from shoes. It works on leather, vinyl, canvas, plastic, and more when it comes to shoe material. It’s even used by athletes coining the phrase, “been keeping kicks clean since Jordans hit the scene.”
Thanks to the nontoxic formula, you can also use Pink Miracle on upholstery, purses, and around the house or in the car. While this shoe cleaner comes with a brush when you purchase it on Amazon, a hack is to use a toothbrush on smaller surfaces, like the side of a shoe.
- The ORIGINAL Shoe Cleaning System: Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner has been around since 1985, and the great formula is the number 1 choice for sneakers and shoes. Whether you are a sneaker head collector or simply want to clean your shoes to provide a professional new look.

4. Versa Power scrubber
While you may pull out an old toothbrush to clean a shoe, say goodbye to all of those tools when it comes to scrubbing grout and all the deep spots in your house. Using this Versa power scrubber cleaning tool by Dremel is like holding a mini power drill just for cleaning.
Once it’s fully charged, attach the splash guard so you can use liquid cleaner without creating a mess. Then choose one of the included attachments. You can use a brush, a deep cleaning brush, or a delicate pad, for example. Then hold your power scrubber as you clean away mold, mildew, and more without the arm workout.
- VERSATILE CLEANING TOOL: Versa Power scrubber is best for small hard to clean surfaces like sinks, glass and stove tops, oven windows, glass doors, microwaves, grout lines, bathtub handles, shower grout, tile, drains, wheels, shoes, grills, pots, pans and more.

7. Johny Jolter Power Plunger
Picture a super-soaker water gun, but smaller and for cleaning toilets. Instead of using air, the Johny Jolter plunger uses water to clear away toilet clogs. Highly recommended by users with elongated toilets, and it takes less energy to use than a standard plunger. Once you’ve filled the plunger up with water, point it all the way into your toilet drain. Then push the handle down with force, and your toilet should be cleared.
- The Johnny Jolter Professional Power Plunger uses water, not air to clear any clogged toilet fast. Made from Engineering-grade plastic, and assembled by Disabled U.S. Veterans, this product is tough and built to last.
