COOLEST

CORDLESS VACUUM

LG CORDZERO A9 ULTIMATE STICK VACUUM, $649

We’ve tested many of the latest “pole”

vacuums in our GH Cleaning Lab, and

LG’s CordZero tops the list. Use it with the

telescoping wand for floors and high places

or as a handheld for stairs, the sofa and the

car. It comes with two batteries, three nozzles,

a compact storage stand and more.

WHY IT WON This amazing machine is

powerful, versatile, beautifully designed

and easy to use and store.

POTENT PAPER TOWELS

GH SEAL STAR BOUNTY PAPER TOWELS, $5.50

Our favorite does it again! Whether you are sopping up spills,

shining mirrors or removing a stain, Bounty paper towels blow

others out of the water and are at home in any room of the house.

WHY IT WON Bounty paper towels always top our tests for wet

and dry strength, absorbency and performance. We swear by them

at home and in our Institute Labs.

PET STAIN ZAPPER

GH SEAL STAR

BISSELL PROFESSIONAL

PET STAIN & ODOR REMOVER,

$8 FOR 22 OZ

Frequent messes made by

a puppy or kitty can ruin not

only carpet, but the padding

and flooring below. That’s

why it’s important to remove

both the stain and the odor.

Bissell’s formula contains

enzymes to attack odor-

causing bacteria so your

fur baby won’t pick up the

scent and repeat the offense.

WHY IT WON Not only does

it work on pet accidents,

but it also removes food and

other stains, like makeup,

from carpet, upholstery and

mattresses.

UNPARALLELED

UPRIGHT VACUUM

GH SEAL STAR MIELE DYNAMIC U1 POWER-

LINE UPRIGHT VACUUM CLEANER, $600

A great vacuum is your cleaning BFF, and

this Miele is a keeper. Use it on carpets,

floors, upholstery, draperies, delicate

surfaces and beyond. For allergy sufferers,

it includes a HEPA AirClean filter and a

high-efficiency dust bag.

WHY IT WON Miele tops our tests for

pickup and filtration, so you’ll know that

what goes into the vacuum will stay there.

SIZZLING

GRILL STEAMER

Charred grates are

a pain to clean, and

frankly, who wants to?

Sienna’s steamers do

well in our tests, and this

one was no exception.

It is easy to use and

works fast, and the head

is dishwasher safe. Our

food team wants one for

the Test Kitchen grill!

SILVER WIPES

Go ahead, wear your silver

jewelry and use Grandma’s

sterling tray. Polishing

silver has never been easier

than with Weiman’s wipes.

They are thick, effective

and neat. The snap-top

canister keeps them from

drying out quickly.

INNOVATIVE

ERASERS

Leave it to Mr. Clean to

make a great thing better.

That’s what the company did

with Magic Eraser Sheets.

Slimmer and more flexi-

ble than the blocks, they’re

made for cleaning tight

spaces like around faucets

and in shower-door tracks.

DO-IT-ALL

CLEANING CLOTH

MAKER’S CLEAN WAFFLE WEAVE

CLOTHS, $25 FOR TWO

These oversize microfiber

cloths from Maker’s Clean

are so large, they should be

called towels. Use them to

dry dishes, pets or the shower

as well as to clean windows,

pick up spills and more.

WHY IT WON With just a

few drops of water, we

easily shined mirrors, chrome

and appliances. They’re so

large that there’s always a dry

spot, and we liked that we

didn’t need to switch off to

a second towel for buffing.
