The best Prime Day deals on everyday essentials: up to nearly 60% off for a limited time

First up: Magic Erasers. It took me forever to buy some, but now that I've been using them for a few years, I can't imagine not having them in my home. 

The foam sponges are soft enough for more delicate surfaces, such as walls and wood furnishings, yet strong enough to get the job (ahem, sauce or crayon removal) done. 

I recently had a mini panic attack when I thought fallen pollen from a bunch of lilies had stained my light oak dining table forever and, to my amazement, my Magic Erasers removed each yellow stain.

Scrub Daddy sponges have become my go-to for tougher messes (read: greasy pans, dirty tiles and bath scum). They're gritty, squishy and even dishwasher-friendly. They're also just really fun.

The brand's colorful value assortment is currently on sale for 16 bucks and change — around $2.70 sponge, compared to the usual $5 plus — complete with a free "Daddy Caddy" sponge holder that suctions to the sink for easy access.

Last time I checked, there were Scrub Mommy sponges and a sponge/cleaner multipack on sale. Whichever you choose, act quickly because I expect these to go fast. These also make great stocking stuffers and white elephant gifts! 

If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing. 

This is about as low as these kitchen staples have ever been on sale for. 

Mr. Siga's highly rated, often (ineffectively) duplicated cleaning cloths have garnered a reputation — and a following of at least 65,000 Amazon customers — for their soft, durable, absorbent fabric and vibrant color range. 

You can currently nab a pack for almost half off, the lowest price to date, to reduce the amount of paper towels you're spending money on just to throw in the trash.

These No. 1 bestselling fabric-softening balls can be reused for over a thousand — yes, a thousand — laundry loads. 

They're made entirely of wool, and are beloved by more than 61,000 Amazon customers for reducing status cling, speeding up drying times and reducing energy costs.

Bonus: with the initial (now much lower) investment out of the way, they'll save you tons of money on not-so-eco-friendly dryer sheets. They're one of Yahoo editors' favorite laundry hacks! 

As someone who works from home and loves to cook, I go through a lot of dish (washer) soap. 

I like how this one from Seventh Generation, now 25% off a value bundle, is made free and clear — aka without any harsh fragrances or dyes that can otherwise stick to plates and utensils — and doesn't leave any streaky residue behind.

The brand’s naturally scented Lemon Chamomile Dishwasher Pods and Cleaning Spray are also on sale, for those who prefer a light fragrance.

Hand soap is another product I frequently go through, with Mrs. Meyers' biodegradable formula among my go-tos. 

Last time I checked, you could scoop up a 33-ounce refill tub — just over $2 a soap when you consider the brand’s usual 12-ounce portions — of the Lemon Verbena scent, an amazing deal and a great idea for anyone who wants to save while cutting back on trips to the store.

The brand is also offering up to 50% off Fall Leaves (a personal favorite), Apple Cider and Acorn Spice for getting into the fall season and gifting.

Stock up on laundry detergent with 30% off select Method 4-packs, including the brand's signature Ginger Mango and, my personal favorite, Beach Sage.

Each bottle contains enough liquid to cover 66 loads, so there's enough to cover work attire, uniforms, activewear, loungewear and beyond (and for a long time).

I've also had good experiences with Method's on-sale Pink Grapefruit All-Purpose Cleaner Spray and Sea Minerals Gel Hand Soap if you're good on the laundry front.

You may think of your washing machine as being self-cleaning, but experts recommend giving it a deeper clean regularly to help keep mildew under control and, er, off of your clothes.

You can go the DIY route (more on that here), or you can pop in one of these popular deodorizing pods, which have over 90,000 perfect Amazon ratings, in and let it do the dirty work for you.

"This is now the third time I've purchased these washing machine tablets," shared one five-star fan. "They work so well! One to two times a month I will run one through my front-load washer. It cleans it and helps get rid of residue, and helps prevent build up and smell. Highly recommend!"

Caldrea is a brand I rely on fairly regularly to keep my kitchen smelling fresh (the brand's cleaning and room sprays are airy and bright and the bottles look nice sitting on a countertop). 

Last time I checked, a two-pack of the Ginger Pomelo Linen and Room Spray was on sale, along with other hits like the Ginger Pomelo Hand Soap and Pear Blossom Agave Dish Soap, for 30% off. 

Only need one? Caldrea's pretty packaging also makes it a nice gift for friends and family when birthdays and holidays come around.

If it were up to me, every bathroom would come (and remain) equipped with a bottle of Home- or Poo-Pourri. 

I like how the brand's products actually break up — versus just mask — air molecules and that they don't leave any funky scents or secrets behind (the Lavender Sage scent, now 20% off, is one of the most soothing I've tried).

You can also find limited-edition toilet sprays, along with the brand's essential travel sizes, among the brand's Prime Day deals for keeping things classy at home and on the go.

I've tried to reduce the amount of single-use wipes in my household, but when I do use wipes, I use Goodwipes. 

According to the brand, they're made of plant-based materials — including aloe for a soothing component — and are hypoallergenic, free of toxins and dyes. 

You can flush them down the toilet (they're both septic- and sewer- safe) and I like how the scents are clean and subtle versus other products I've tried that are overwhelming. 

Scoop up a four-pack on sale for $17 or a 3-pack, plus travel wipes, on sale for $13 during Prime time.

Refillable razors are great for reducing the amount of waste from plastic handles, not to mention the amount of money you'd otherwise spend purchasing a full razor every time. 

Right now, Gillette Venus is offering a razor handle with six refills for 30% off, so it's essentially like getting six razors for $14 or a little over $2 a pop.

If you're going to purchase Advil anyway, you might as well do it as part of a Prime Big Deal for 30% off (or just over $16). 

This set comes with 300 coated tablets, along with an AdvilPM sample for when you could use some relief come nighttime — the perfect addition to a First Aid kit.

It's also helpful to have around for any guests who may be experiencing a headache after those long holiday flights and drives.

I scooped up a few of these Bali wireless bras a few Prime Days ago and now I don't know what I'd do without them. 

They're comfy enough for everyday, yet supportive enough for the gym and even office wear (meaning you don't have to constantly switch up your style). 

The stretchy back doesn't cut in and adjusts for a custom fit. And at only $20 — nearly 60% off — I consider this among the most coveted deals in Amazon's sale.

It's a good idea to have some no-show socks around for low-cut sneakers, heels or flats (otherwise, you may be tempted to go without, compromising comfort and allowing odors from sweat to thrive). 

This already affordable and now on-sale set from Wernies includes four pairs in classic shades.

See also: Amazon Essentials' Cushioned Ankle Socks and Cozy Earth's Modern Crew Socks, more than 30% off, for more comfort and warmth during colder days.

Repeat after me: "I deserve good undies!" 

The breathable, top-rated set shown comes with five breathable, moisture-wicking thongs in various colorways for nearly 40% off. 

Looking for a bit more coverage? Consider Wirarpa, backed by over 89.000 Amazon customers for being the "best undies out there."
