Luckily, there's a Walmart within driving distance of just about everyone in the country. Here's a rundown on the most affordable and most highly rated spring-cleaning products at the world's largest retailer. (And here are some tricks for saving at Walmart.)

ARM & HAMMER EXTRA STRENGTH CARPET ODOR ELIMINATOR


Price: $3 | Buy it
Earning 4.8 out of five stars, this product was designed with the knowledge that no matter how hard you scrub, your house will never smell great if it's burdened by an odor-filled carpet. It loosens and lifts dirt while doubling as a vacuum booster that's packed with the power of OxiClean. One satisfied pet owner wrote: "We have some cats with, um, unusual metabolism, which produces a very noticeable smell when they make a deposit. This works great to help minimize that."

It's earned 4.8 out of five stars thanks to reviews like this one: "This scrub does the job really well with the usual elbow grease, and much better than your major brands."
