When it comes to all the parts of the house that tend to go long overdue for a cleaning — think upholstered furniture, baseboards, stoves, car corners, and tough tiles — there's often a reason for putting off the task. They're tough spots, often with stuck-on grease, stains, or grime, and few tools make cleaning them an easy feat. 

But if you've yet to try a steam cleaner on hard spots and tough messes, prepare to have your chore game changed for good. Not to mention, you can grab Eave's Handheld Steam Cleaner on sale for just $42 now, so it's the perfect time to try it out. 

The lightweight and easy-to-use cleaner is compact enough to fit in all the spaces you have in mind. Unlike many other models, it can steam for 10 minutes continuously, so you can clean large spaces at a time before having to wait for it to reheat. It also auto-steams, so there's no need for continuous button-pushing, again making it easier to handle your chores quickly.
