Her first suggestion was a $260 eufy RoboVac.

‘My RoboVac runs 11 hours a week, which is 11 hours more than I was vacuuming a week on average,’ she said, explaining the only thing she needs to do is empty the vacuum bag every one or two days.

The $65 electric spin scrubber is ‘one of [her] most favourite gadgets.’

‘It comes with so many attachments for different areas and purposes and I love it so much. It has easily halved my cleaning time.’ 

The woman said she is ‘so obsessed’ with how well her $170 Renpho air purifier works at collecting dust.

Her Scrub Daddy Dish Wand was $11 and is ‘easily one of [her] most favourite purchases.’

‘I love that you can put the soap in it and it stands up all on its own. It also lasts so much longer than these other cr*ppy ones I’ve been using.’ 

The young woman also shared a video about the Amazon products that are ‘so bad’ they ‘do not deserve the light of day.’ 

Ms Ritchie’s best and worst Amazon cleaning finds: 

Best:

* RoboVac

* Electric spin scrubber

* Air purifier

* Dish Daddy 

 Worst:

* Super Clean slime

* Electric fabric shaver

* Pet hair cleaning sponge for all surfaces 

‘I ordered these late at night and I didn’t bother read any reviews.’

Ms Richie also shared a video about the products she most regrets buying, including this She said $20 Phillips fabric shaver which takes too long in her opinion

Ms Ritchie was ‘so disappointed’ with the $26 Super Clean car cleaning slime.

‘[It’s] slime, not goo that will collect dust as advertised. It went everywhere and was so messy. This was a other setback on me cleaning my car.

The next purchase she regretted was a sponge that promises to clean pet hair from any surface.

She said ‘It does the job if you sit there scrubbing for ages’ but is not worth the $50 it cost.

‘I feel like my hands can do the exact same thing for free, and then at least I get a good exfoliant at the same time.’ 

She said $20 Phillips fabric shaver ‘is not a win’ for her ADHD brain.

‘It does do as advertised but it takes ages.’

Followers of the women were delighted with the tips, particularly those who also struggle with ADHD.

‘Yes more ADHD hacks and products,’ one woman said.

‘Oh my goodness something useful thank you,’ another wrote.
