When shopping the Prime Day sales, it's easy to look at big-ticket discounts and expensive products you wouldn't usually buy. However, as a homes editor, I always use Prime Day to stock up on cleaning products and other essentials I come back to month after month, and there are always brilliant Prime Day discounts available on big cleaning brands if you know where to look.  

I've found 17 top deals on cleaning products I use and love, as well as a few new finds I'm treating myself to this Prime Day, including scrubbers I've seen on social media and my favorite Scrub Daddy multi-packs that I rarely see on sale. 

So if, like me, you always forget to pick up color catcher sheets or rubber gloves, I've included everything you need to keep your house sparkling clean this summer in one easy guide. The best part? They're all on sale.
