Does anyone ever wake up on a Saturday morning thinking about how much they want to scrub their toilet? Not likely. There are a million other fun things to do — and so many great ways to procrastinate — that you might feel like necessary household chores will never get done.

Unfortunately, if you want to eat on clean dishes and enjoy a shower without mildew, you have to do some cleaning eventually. But don't fret — there are some great products to make the process easier. Here are 30 cleaning accessories to help you keep your home sparkling clean.

So your kids drew on the walls with marker again? No worries. Mr. Clean Magic Erasers can literally clean any surface in your house. If you like to keep things natural, this is the perfect product for you. Just add a little water, and these handy sponges clean walls, bathtubs, ovens, light switches and much more — without the addition of soap or chemical cleaners.

How do they work? Water-activated fibers in the sponges grab dirt and grime from surfaces. According to the manufacturer, these cleaning pads pack a punch that is four times stronger than all-purpose bleach spray. For less than $10, that's a value you can't beat!

Vacuum That Runs Itself

Ask people their least favorite chore, and the answer is often vacuuming. Luckily, appliances like the iRobot Roomba 960 will do the vacuuming for you. If you have an old, heavy vacuum that you have to lug up the stairs every few days, the Roomba will be a total game-changer.

At less than 10 pounds, this vacuum is easy to pick up and place where you need it. Even better, it can move around obstacles, like furniture and toys, without missing a beat. The Roomba works equally well on carpet and hard floors. Unfortunately, the units are expensive, but many people see it as a worthwhile investment.

Wipes That Allow You to Clean Without Fuss

Sometimes, you just need to clean up quickly, without a lot of fuss. Clorox disinfecting wipes with micro-scrubbers allow you to do just that. They provide the perfect option for wiping down the kitchen table, doing a quick once-over on the bathroom vanity and removing baked-on grime from the stove.

The scrubbing side makes the wipe a must-have for sticky situations. Other wipes are out there, but these come with some impressive features. At less than $15 for three canisters containing more than 200 wipes, you can't complain about the price either.

Nothing is worse than a gunky, stinky washing machine. Your laundry goes in smelly — and comes back out smelly. Affresh washer cleaner tablets make it fast and easy to get your machine as squeaky clean as you want your clothes to be.

If you have ever used bleach to clean your washing machine, you know it can be a toxic experience. On top of the harsh odor, it just doesn't get your machine very clean without a lot of time and effort. With Affresh, you just toss in a tablet once a month, and you're done! Bonus: A six-month supply costs just over $10.

The heads oscillate 60 times per second — no scrubbing necessary! — and are completely waterproof. Use them in the bathroom or kitchen without worry, and you can finally get rid of that old toothbrush you use to clean crevices.

If you have allergies or you simply don't like hair all over your furniture and clothes, the constant shedding can be a problem.

The Bissell Big Green professional carpet cleaning machine is one of the pricier options on this list, but if you've got carpet, it might be worth it. In most cases, the only way to really get dirty carpets clean is to rent a carpet steamer, and the rental fees can really add up.

The solution? Invest in your own carpet cleaner. The Big Green Machine has a reputation for quality, and it cleans more than floors. You can use it on furniture, car interiors and more. When you're weighing the pros and cons of price, be sure to consider all the rental fees you won't have to pay in the future.
