9 Self-Cleaning Products You Didn't Know You Needed

A good spring cleaning is one thing, but the rest of the year, we like to keep our mopping to a minimum. Because we prefer chillin' over chores any day of the week, we're all about stuff that cleans itself. Think about it: Anything that's self-cleaning saves us from having to do it.

Why would you choose to scoop up cat poop when the litter box can clean itself? The same concept applies to a hairbrush, too: It's silly to struggle detangling a mass of hair yourself when there's a brush that does it for you.

DIY is dandy, but self-cleaning is the way to go. Here are nine awesome products that maintain themselves so you don't have to.
