7 Parents-Approved Kitchen Cleaning Products

The kitchen sink and surrounding counter space sees a lot of action. Between wrangling your kids' breakfast and lunch, cooking (and cleaning up after) family dinner, and somehow feeding and caffeinating yourself in between, it's safe to say that the area can get a little messy. But the chaos doesn't have to be overwhelming—we scoured the world of cleaning supplies to discover the easiest, smartest, and prettiest tools out there. Not only will each one make your cleaning routine better, but they're also all under $20. Plus, a few of them are eco-friendly, so you can clean up your sink station while also cleaning up the earth.

Overall, we looked for products that work harder to save you time and elbow grease. Yup, that includes solutions for the crusted-on macaroni and cheese you let sit overnight—no shame—and the crumbs your partner is constantly dropping on the counter and not cleaning up. There's even a fix for that juggle you do while simultaneously holding a sponge, wet plate, and bottle of soap while washing the dishes. Oh, and one for the obscene amount of paper towels you use on a daily (read: hourly) basis.

One final bonus: Every kitchen cleaning product below looks nice too. So, you can still feel like your kitchen has some semblance of attractive interior design, even if you're wiping up buttered noodle spills. Finally, you can get a handle on cleaning the kitchen—and keeping it that way.
