These products not getting the recognition they deserve is almost as bad as Demi Moore not winning the Oscar.
1. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner when yours is in dire need of a refresh. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help demolish odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque.
You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more.
Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R.

Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about 3 years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it!

Promising reviews:"I was skeptical at first, but this product exceeded my expectations! I've used it once a week for the last couple of months, and my shower has remained impeccably clean without any need for scrubbing. My bathroom counter had a weird black residue that regular cleaners and scrubbing couldn't remove. After the first application, most of the residue came off with light scrubbing, and after the second application, all of it was gone. I wish I'd discovered this spray sooner!" — Claire W.

"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." — Joanne Ertel

Promising review:"I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try to clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." — Amber Erwin

12. Mighty Patches, which are ~tiny but mighty~ and can help draw the gunk out of zits. Stick one on at bedtime and behold the amazing results upon waking. Reviewers also love that you can hardly tell you're wearing one!
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says:"I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."
Be sure to read the full Mighty Pimple Patch review for more deets!
Promising review:" These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." — Chris C.
Get a 36-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available as a 72-pack).

It's made with natural ingredients that offer a deep cleaning *without* leaving scratches and streaks.
Promising reviews: "I am speechless. I had burned on crud on the glass door inside of my oven. I literally took the product and put it on with a sponge, let it sit for 30 seconds, wiped it off with a hot watered paper towel, and it wiped clean! I regret not taking before and after pictures. I have tried everything under the sun and regret not trying this sooner. I was skeptical because I saw it on TikTok. BUY IT!!!!!! Can't wait to try it on the shower! [Best] stuff I've ever used!" — Courtney
" This is one of those 'changed my life' products that you come across every once in a while. I have tried so many different things to clean my clear glass shower door and just end up wasting time, money, and effort. The reviews and price of this product sold me on it. I love the smell (very subtle) and I used it with a basic sponge on my shower door. It did take a little effort but not bad and yielded amazing results. I then got excited about the other possibilities and have used it on the inside of my oven door with similar results. It's great. You won't be disappointed." — Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.49.

Read more about tea tree oil: how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic.
Promising review:"I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away with how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, callouses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." — anengstrom

This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess!

17. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo for washing away the impurities residing in your sponges and brushes. The results will make you wanna give it *multiple* accolades.
This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free.
Promising review:"I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" — Ryan Brooks
Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two sizes).

Promising review:"I've been using this for a couple of months now and I really like it! Previously I've used Clinique or Origins...this works just as well or better. I wish I had found this sooner as it is a lot less expensive than other alternatives. I've seen other reviewers say they keep it in the fridge and while I don't find that necessary I may have to try because it sounds very refreshing!" — Cat SV
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and as a two-pack).

Lots of reviewer pets love being brushed by it too!
Promising reviews: "A dog brush that I don't have to pick dog hair out of ... At first, I thought this was some form of dark wizardry. But I don't care because this is awesome!" — MaddSweet
"I've spent hundreds of dollars on toys, treats, houses, scratchers, etc for my cats. This is, hands-down, not even close, the best money I've ever spent! I got so much fur off them, and they loved it! They are looking so sleek and shiny, and they are rolling around like kittens they feel so fresh and happy. My cats are still young (all ages 4 and under) so they were pretty well groomed to begin with. I couldn't believe how many knots and snags were hiding in their fur. The whole time I was brushing them, they were purring and rubbing all over me, trying to get more. The self-cleaning feature is so easy!! A click of a button, and all the hair falls off. The brush itself is bigger than what I anticipated. I thought my cats would be afraid of it, but once they figured out what was happening, they weren't at all. I got the original brush, which I thought would probably feel good (like a good back scratch!) And I was right. They loved it." — Samantha
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in purple or aqua).
20. Revlon's oil-absorbing volcanic face roller, which can make excess oil instantly ✨disappear✨ with a few swipes. It's more eco-friendly than blotting sheets and you won't have to keep reapplying powder. Overachiever much??
Promising review:"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited. Not only is it affordable, but it's washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful." — Kelsey B.
Get it from Amazon for $8.55.
21. A long-handled standing weeder because bending over (and over...and over...) to pull pesky weeds should be illegal. Not only will you save yourself time *and* lots of pain, but the yard will look absolutely stunning when you're done.

Grampa's Gardenware Co. is a small, family-owned business based in Oregon making tools for gardening.
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG
Get it from Amazon for $36.97.

Highly recommended!" — Nini

This thing sucks out all the lint and dust trapped in your dryer vent — it can remove buildup that's up to 12 feet long! Plus, clogged vents = longer drying times + higher utility bills, so this saves you money too. That's worthy of the EGOT title if you ask me.

Amazon
Promising review:"I love this product. I had grown weary with my glasses sliding off my face. It's like I had to choose between them being tight and causing headaches and pain behind my ears or being comfortable but not functional. I decided to look for a solution. This was a fair price and different options (color-wise) so I ordered it. They are very comfortable. I can inspect under my bus without my glasses sliding off my face and don't have to hold them on anymore. They work perfectly. My glasses do not move at all." — Danyelle Brazell
Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $9.99 (available in black or a multicolor pack).

BTW — These are a great swap for the Scrub Daddy Damp Duster, which is pretty much *always* sold out.
My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer can vouch for these: " I bought a pack of these recently, and so far love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!"
Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer

32. A multitalented hairbrush cleaning tool to pull out ALL the hair and product buildup that's been living rent-free in your brush. The bristles are designed to extract all types of hair *and* the pointed end helps rake out loose hair.
www.amazon.com
The reviewer above got such amazing results by using this tool along with soaking their brush in a Dawn-and-diluted-vinegar solution!
Promising review:"When I bought this I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
33. A super-soft Makeup Eraser that only requires water to remove makeup. With this, you can quickly and easily take off last night's makeup that you accidentally fell asleep in (again). *And* you'll save $$$ on disposable makeup wipes moving forward! This one might take the crown. 👑
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With Makeup Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz
Get it from Amazon for $20+ (available in 16 colors).

34. A heat-resistant masher (up to 447 degrees!) to greatly reduce your cooking time by breaking up ground meat more efficiently with *five* sharp pinwheel blades. It's nonstick and dishwasher-safe, so it may even deserve two awards.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "I wish I would have bought this so much sooner! I feel like every cook needs this in their kitchen. This is so helpful, especially when trying to break up other meats than beef — nothing breaks down the same way beef does and tends to stay in big chunks. This handles everything like a dream! Excellent purchase! Very well made — not flimsy at all. Super high quality!" — TAV
