We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · There's a self-tanner in this post with review images so impressive you just might start believing in magic. 1. A paraben-free self-tanner with a mousse texture so you can apply the product evenly (unlike thicker lotions that leave distinct lines behind). With this, you'll get that sun-kissed glow all year long. Promising review: 'If you use St. Tropez tan products or any fake tanner, do yourself a favor and try this. This stuff is AWESOME. Dries quickly, lasts longer, does NOT make your skin stinky, applies evenly, and you get a fair amount of product!! Other tanners I've used become VERY noticeable when they start fading. Gross hand lines, patchy white spots, etc., but not this stuff. The best one-hour tan I have ever used!' — Review Writer Get it from Amazon for $9.97+ (available in various shades/styles). 2. A TikTok-famous Little Green upholstery cleaner from Bissell — this spiffy (and portable!) system uses warm water and a special formula to save the day when slips turn into spills, which turn into stains. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $9.99! Promising review: "I have four expensive fabric-covered chairs in my kitchen dining area that were long overdue to be cleaned and were so heavily soiled that I wasn't sure even a good cleaning would help. I researched all the available portable cleaning machines and this seemed to be the one with the best ratings and recommendations. I was amazed at the results when I used it on the chairs. Years of ground-in dirt and grime came out easily, and when I looked at the solution that was vacuumed out it was the color of dark chocolate. I did a second cleaning and then used a spray bottle to apply clean water to rinse. Honestly, the chairs looked so good even my son was so impressed he bought one. I want to add that I am very close to eighty. and I had no problems operating it. I highly recommend it, and I rate it five stars plus!" — Kathleen Petro Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in three versions). 3. A Shark Tank -favorite Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier that'll give you Herculean strength in an instant. Hook your bags to the clip, place it around your shoulder, and lift up to *80 pounds!!!* without bag straps literally breaking your back. Amazon, Click & Carry is a Shark Tank and QVC-featured small business that specializes in easy carry accessories. Promising review: "TikTok made me buy it. This is great when you have a few bags and a box — for example, if you balance the bags, you can throw it over your shoulder and walk inside and have two free hands to carry the box, which is great. Product seems well built, and is comfortable on your shoulder or hand because of the padding." — Hung Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in seven colors and in a two-pack). 4. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads right when you need them most. Save some time and money with these extra-thick microfiber versions! They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time-use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.54. 5. A handy portable car vacuum so you can clean your car without the extra effort of bringing your vacuum outside. (Because honestly, when do we ever actually do that?) It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle! Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house; however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October, my husband and I went to the ocean, and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright Get it from Amazon for $49 .98 (available in three styles and two colors). 6. Cerave eye repair cream, which is cooked up with their famous blend of ceramides (a skincare "secret sauce" if you will) and a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to boost hydration and niacinamide to help tighten and brighten the appearance of skin. If you're revitalizing your skincare routine, add this to the mix and reduce the appearance of dark circles, under-eye puffiness, *and* fine lines. ~Eye~ love to see it. Promising review:"What sorcery is this??? Listen I'm 48, and I've bought a lot of face cream 'stuff' over the years. Expensive stuff that did nothing. Finally started using Cerave thanks to my 19-year-old daughter and TikTok, lol. I decided to try the eye cream, and I noticed a difference the morning I started using it. The brightening is apparent. Love this stuff." — Michelle Petrosh Get it from Amazon for $11.49. 7. A gnocchi stripper so you can be confident in the kitchen. This useful tool can make sure you're on a roll by expertly cutting and twisting individual gnocchi bites with ease. Just wrap a piece around the wooden rod and roll it across the riveted board — easy as pie! Or, um, pasta. Promising review:"This gnocchi board is a great addition to my kitchen. It's essential for making gnocchi and garganelli, which I learned after finding out about its dual purpose. It is small, but you don't need a bigger size because you'll be working with one pasta square at a time anyway. The best thing to me is that it's made in Italy, the craftsmanship is high quality and it's made in the world home of pasta. "I made perfect garganelli right off the bat and it has been used for gnocchi several nights this week by popular demand in my household. A little flour and it's ready to go." — Aidan McMurray Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 8. A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined. Hit the snooze button and save time in the mornings with this brush by your side. See it in action on TikTok here. Promising review:"TikTok made me do it. I never knew I had 3a curls until I used this brush. It evenly spreads product throughout the hair and clumps up your curls. It's just an amazing brush!" — mariela Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in six colors). 9. A Baseboard Buddy that'll basically work like an eraser. This has an extendable handle that'll make cleaning tiny corners and often-ignored areas not just simple, but suuuper satisfying. Promising review:" Buy it NOW. Honestly, I had huge reservations for this thing. Yet another miracle cleaning tool that will break or bend or something. I was so wrong. It was easy to put together and I sprayed it with Mean Green and went to the baseboards. No more kneeling and no broken back. This thing is amazing. It is durable and the pad is super absorbent. I am so happy. I can't wait to do the rest of the house!" — artgirl Get it from Amazon for $26.99. 10. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. Plus, it doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill. Promising review:"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 Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors). 11. A jar of The Pink Stuff (the internet's favorite cleaning product) that'll clean everything from pots and pans to blotches in your bathtub. Move over firefighters, I want a calendar of THIS sexy stuff and its shiny results. Promising review:"I used this product for my stove because it's one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used different degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. The Magic Eraser was okay but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn't have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!" — May Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a two-pack). 12. And The Pink Stuff All-Purpose Floor Cleaner for folks who know The Pink Stuff could be the *only* stuff. Try out their floor cleaner and transform your brown grout into the white grout it actually is. Amazon, Promising review:"This is just what I wanted. I really like that there isn't a residue left over on my floors. The smell is very simple and clean and now my floors look terrific." — S.A. Milano Get it from Amazon for $6.98 (also available in a two-pack). 13. A pack of Spin Pins capable of holding your hair tight no matter how much you move, saving you from constantly readjusting your 'do throughout the day. One of these coils is as strong as 20 (!) standard hair pins. Bad hair days are officially extinct. Promising review:"I'm a nursing student and have to wear my hair in a bun every day. I've tried all the bun makers, watched YouTube videos, and spend way too much time on getting my hair into a bun. I was able to make a pretty bun that was secure in under 30 seconds. I thought it was a fluke so I did it again, and then again. I have hair to my mid back, and three of these worked perfectly for me. If I can get my hair in bun in under 30 seconds, trust can." — Tina Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in two colors). 14. A rather charming exfoliating stick for gently scrubbing your skin, drawing out excess sebum, whiteheads, and blackheads from your pores. This is specifically designed for removing the gross octo- puss from inside your pores! Promising review: "After just two days of use, this adorable little octopus has done wonders for me, smells great too. Here's how I used it: I wore down the stick just a little to where the texture from the salt is visible, scrubbed around on my face so there was plenty of product, then I used my fingers to gently massage all the gunk away. Rinse, pat dry, and enjoy the softness. Highly recommended for people with sensitive skin like myself." — LuckLocust Get it from Amazon for $12.50. 15. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution — this can clear up redness, bumps, and razor burn. Bless. Promising review:"This product is a lifesaver, simply amazing!! My before picture (above) is from two months ago without using Tendskin after shaving. That's how bad my thighs used to get two to three days after shaving. I used to cry so much because EVERYTHING hurt my thighs, including my silk covers. My after picture is from July 31, 2019. As you can see it's a tremendous difference. Although I still have scars, my shaving doesn't bring tears to my eyes anymore. It's helped with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and my sensitivity to denim." — Kim Get it from Amazon for $27.99. 16. A pack of multipurpose dermaplaning razors that'll remove those fluffy baby hairs from your face while giving your skin some sweeet exfoliation at the same time. Sorry newborns, your skin is no longer the softest around. Promising review:" I saw these on TikTok and was skeptical but they work so well. I use them for any facial peach fuzz and to shape my eyebrows and they're perfect." — Megan Kopicko Get a three-pack from Amazon for $4.38+ (also available in a nine-pack). 17. A pack of two Downy fabric sprays — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. Promising review:"I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, I have discovered that this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag. The scent is light and fresh, and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant. It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it'll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer." — Danielle Healy, BuzzFeed Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in multiple pack styles and in three scents). 18. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel for feet that feel positively caked in callouses. To use: presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for five to 10 minutes, and rinse. It's recommended to use a foot file afterwards to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they're almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions... left it on my super-dry thick-callused heels for only three minutes and the callouses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don't have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore." — Key2Del Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in three scents, two-packs, and an option with a foot file). 19. A carpet shampoo solution to get your floors and rugs back to their original color without any toxic chemicals. Who knew your brown carpet was actually a WHITE carpet? Woof. Sunny & Honey Store is a family-run small biz. Their products are made in the USA and they donate 10% of all profits to animal shelters and rescue groups. FYI: This cleaner is only for use in carpet cleaning machines. Here's the one they are using in the review photo! Promising review:"I never leave reviews but this I had to! I have 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I kids. Who wants to spend the money to replace flooring when they will just mess it up! I cleaned my son's carpet with this for the first time today and it looks and smells SOOOOO much better than it was! Other carpet cleaning products I've used have made the carpet smell like wet dog while cleaning and this didn't! It smelled great the whole time! I'm hooked!!" — Megan Davis Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in three scents and two sizes). 20. A plant-powered vitamin C serum with a *delicious* amount of 5-star ratings (over 96,000 5-star ratings, if you really wanna know). This is a satisfying solution that claims to help with dark circles, sun spots, redness, and breakouts. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I am 39 and have dark spots in my face from sun damage and some scarring from cystic acne. Holy cow, this has lightened my dark spots by at least 75%. Honestly a miracle. And for the price! Other brands are four times the price. Try this out for sure. Stick to it and give it some time. I saw an amazing difference, so so happy with it. Also, some of the best customer service I've ever had." — Ashley F. Get it from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes). 21. A bottle of Goo Gone Adhesive Remover sure to rid surfaces of those sticky, gross, and stubborn residues you've honestly just grown to accept as part of your appliances at this point. It's time to solve that problem. Promising review:"I purchased this to remove stubborn warning stickers on my furniture. A friend originally recommended it to me, and it works perfectly. No stains and the goo be gone, yo. 10/10." — James Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in three sizes and in a two-pack). 22. An air purifier that'll remove pet dander, mold, dust, pollen, and odors in your home. Grab one of these, and going outside to get fresh air will feel like an oxymoron. Promising review:"I foster kittens for a rescue, and no matter how often I clean the boxes, two or three times daily and general cleaning, I still have an odor in the room. I got this product out of desperation. It was a good size and weight for kitties bouncing around. I am truly shocked and enormously happy with how it works! My husband was at wits end with his sensitive nose. He goes in there now and is astonished, no smell. We are getting another for the kitchen! The room is 10×10, and I use it on the 2 setting. I also enjoy the night light. Very helpful without disturbing sick sleepy babies recovering from illness." — victoria Mohagen Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in two colors). 23. A hyaluronic acid serum — this can save your dry skin thanks to its *intense* hydrating properties that improve a dry complexion's softness, smoothness, and ability to retain moisture. I feel soothed just thinking about it. Promising review: "I've used several different kinds of serums for my face and this is my favorite so far. I use it right after my bath when my pores are open from the hot water and then apply my moisturizer right on top of it. My face normally gets very dry in the winter, but since I began using this serum it has been a lot better. It seemed like such a tiny bottle when I got it, but a little bit of this stuff goes a long way. I've been using it for several months now and still have half a bottle left." — Michelle Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes). 24. Corn-remover pads that'll cover and help treat painful corns. These medicated pads cover affected areas and stay on while you wear socks. I know this sounds ~corny~ but after using these, you might think they're magic. Promising review:"It really works. I had to use the entire box to remove this decade-old callus, but it worked (pictured above)!!! I didn't find any issue with getting it to stick to my foot, and I work 10-hour shifts on my feet. It did become a little tricky to finally remove it, as the core of it was a bit stubborn. But it accidentally got caught in the blankets so it came right off. The relief was instant. I went walking the next day, and there was absolutely so pain whatsoever." — Amazon Customer Get a 42-pack from Amazon for $19.99. 25. A jewelry cleaning pen so you can rid your rings of buildup and cloudiness. Promising review:"If I could give this 10 stars I would!!! I'm a little of a fanatic when it comes to keeping my jewelry clean, especially my wedding set. I tried this product on my diamonds, Swarovski crystals, and Brighton jewelry and the results are nothing less than amazing!!! This restored one of my Swarovski rings that I have not worn in years due to the cloudy color to a sparkling brilliance the first day I bought it!!! I cannot recommend this product enough!!! I just ordered additional wands so I don't run out!!! Home run Amazon!!!!!!!!!!" — Kristina B. Get it from Amazon for $9.48 (also available in a larger size). 26. A fabric defuzzer — you're gonna clean up sweaters, sofas, and other aging fabrics that have been a real ~pill~ lately thanks to this spiffy tool! The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. Promising review:"Okay, I don't normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I'm depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I'm obsessed. I can't stop. I should send this back. I've started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I'm going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." — Sydney Jensen Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five colors and two styles). 27. A tube of chicken-flavored toothpaste that'll taste so good, your hungry pup may actually sit still while you clean their teeth. Now you'll no longer be too ~chicken~ to shove a brush in Buddy's mouth. Promising review:"This is my dog's favorite toothpaste! Every night he comes upstairs to have his teeth brushed and won't go to bed until this demand is met. He only likes this brand, funny boy!" — FeFe Get it from Amazon for $6.09+ (available in two sizes and another flavor). 28. A wood finish stain marker to fill in scratches from the ice skates, cleats, and roller blades your kids never seem to take off. You didn't even know they owned ice YET. Promising review: We moved into a new home and as much as I try to baby our brand-new hardwood floors, I have noticed small nicks and scratches caused by our active toddlers. I use this pen and they look good as new! I highly recommend these pens. The trick is to apply the liquid to the mark you want to cover, and then immediately use your finger or a paper towel to go back over the same spot to remove any excess stain. If you do not do this, you will have a visible line where you applied the stain, which basically highlights the imperfection." — MPA Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in four stain colors and in multipacks). 29. A headlight restoration kit so you can hit the your high beams. Don't spend money on expensive replacements — just give them a good scrub! Promising review:"This worked great! Instructions say one kit will do one car, and that you might need two if you have very large lenses. I did mine and my wife's vehicles (Dodge Dakota and a Saturn Vue) from one kit. I periodically stopped to blow and wipe off the disc and lenses to promote disc life. I fully sanded both vehicles, then used one wipe on all four lenses, let it dry, then used the second wipe on all four lenses. Awesome product!" – B. Boyd Get it from Amazon for $18. 30. A window fly trap that'll get rid of pesky house flies in an efficient and sanitary way now that bug season is in full swing. Promising review:"Gross yet effective. We live in the country with animals so we have lots of flies. I did not want to hang a fly trap but caved when I saw this. I feel it's not as noticeable as others and is easy to hide and works very well. Easy to hang and does not leave a sticky residue when removed." — Tina Get a pack of 12 pieces from Amazon for $6.29+ (also available in multi-packs). 31. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Promising review:" Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." — Amazon Customer Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99. 32. A nickel foot file that'll give you such smooth results you'll know it was worth every penny. Promising review:"I love this. It removed so much after one use – more than any other after multiple uses. The picture is just from one use (pictured above, right)." — ctnightmare Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in six colors). 33. A garlic rocker sure to, ahem, rock your world. This tool is so much easier than a traditional garlic press. I cook with a shocking amount of garlic and I always hated dealing with my old garlic press. This one-piece solution is SO much better than the old school tool! You simply place your peeled garlic under and rock at an angle, it minces just the same. This also comes with a (TBH very cute) scraper *and* a silicone sleeve that'll help you peel your cloves in an instant. Promising review:"I like garlic very much, so I use this garlic press every day. It works very well, is easy to use, and easy to clean. Compared with the garlic press I used before, this is more labor-saving and comfortable." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two colors). 34. The ToiletShroom, a flexible unclogging tool that's gonna move deep into your pipes, getting those pesky clogs *and* squeegeeing things clean at the same time. Amazon PS, this includes a caddy! Promising review:"Honestly I didn't think this was going to work, BUT I am so glad I was wrong! I love how easy it is to use and most of all, how QUICKLY it unclogs my toilet!!! I just shove it down the toilet hole, use the motion of pushing it in and out a couple of times, take it out completely, and the toilet drains with ease! I'm not using all my strength to unclog toilets anymore, and no worries about nasty toilet water splashing everywhere, and it cleans super THING I EVER BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET!!!" — Laura Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 35. A microwave cleaner that'll save your microwave from a caked-on death by chocolate (mug cake). Promising review:"I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!" — Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $7.22+ (available in four colors). 36. A TubShroom for keeping your drain hair-free, saving you from any ~hairy~ situations later on. Promising review:"I can't say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, but with this it appears I won't be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I'm very impressed. You don't know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!" — Aaron Morlock Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors and a two-pack). 37. A box of OxiClean stain remover that'll erase every accidental spill and stain even if your scrubbing power is rather subpar. Promising review:"I had a stained mattress (pictured above) that I'd been covering with a mattress pad for years. As I was preparing for a move, I decided to give this a try and see if it could remove the stains that had been there for well over SEVEN YEARS. I honestly don't even remember what caused the stains, but it removed them! I honestly can't believe the results. I wish I'd done this sooner!" — Little Greek Get it from Amazon for $14.23. 38. A wart removing gel you can use when you're tired of being a literal worry wart. Promising review:" I had five awfully painful plantar warts on my foot for about four months. They were all about a 1/4 inch apart on the ball of my foot and I had a massive one under my second toe. It was becoming hard to walk with how painful they were. This was a Hail Mary and it worked phenomenally. The gel coats well right where you apply it. It doesn't have an awful stench. I applied it every three to four days for a couple weeks. I noticed the pain was less and less until I didn't notice any. Last night I was actually able to pull and peel the remains of the dead warts out!! Kinda gross, but kind of cool. Seriously, this product works. If you have annoying is the answer!!!" — CJ805 Get it from Amazon for $10.96. 39. A bug bite suction tool to remove bits of insect saliva and other irritants after a bug bite, to keep yourself from scratching your skin off after a mosquito finds its way into your campsite. Promising review:"Amazing! I am in complete shock at how well this worked. My son got stung by a wasp as you can see in my photo. After we did the suction he stop complaining about it hurting!" — Angela z Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five colors and multipacks). 40. A bottle of makeup brush shampoo so you can stop making your skin dirty when tryna look fresh. Promising review:"Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" — J Get it from Amazon for $5.82. 41. A dandruff shampoo formulated with Ketoconazole (the only over-the-counter version with this key ingredient) that claims to work wonders by not only soothing the symptoms of mild to severe dandruff, but also addressing the root cause to keep it from coming back. That is, as long as you aren't ~flaky~ about using it. Promising review:"MIRACLE PRODUCT! If you have a flaky scalp from dandruff, BUY THIS. I was about to go to the dermatologist if this stuff didn't work. Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $15.88 (also available in a conditioner). 42. A bug remover for anyone who is ~bugged~ by the number of critters that end up creating crud on their car's perfect paint job. Promising review:"This item was recommended by a stranger in the next RV lot at a campground hundreds of miles from home. This good Samaritan brought his bottle over, sprayed down the front of my bus, and then just wiped half an inch of smashed bugs off it! Just like magic. He then smiled, shook my hand, and left. When we got within two days of home, we ordered this, and it was delivered the day after we arrived. Again, it worked just like magic." — Hikes in Rain Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 43.

I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" — David H. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 44. A drill brush kit, because having a tool that cleans just about everything is sure to make your chores a breeze. This kit includes three nylon power brushes that'll fit on any cordless drill. Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well-made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six styles). 45. A tattoo aftercare salve — this can make both colored and monochrome tattoos look out of this world lovely. This soothes, protects, and enhances the look of your ink, both fresh and faded. Mallory Mower / BuzzFeed, I use Mad Rabbit products on my own tattoos. Every product is vegan and cruelty-free (making it great on sensitive skin). I've recommended it to all my friends with tattoos. The soothing gel is lightweight and calming, the sunscreen is effective without feeling heavy, and the balm makes tattoos look gorgeous (my arm pictured above, left). I'm truly surprised by how well color pops with this stuff! Mad Rabbit was found by college friends Oliver Zak and Selom Agbitor after seeing a gap in the market for all-natural products to heal, protect and enhance tattoos. They pitched their tattoo salve in season 12 of Shark Tank. Promising review:"Product was awesome. It rejuvenated a five-year-old tattoo and made it look like new again. Mad Rabbit absorbed into the skin very easily without being greasy." — Janson Ward Get it from Amazon for $13.04+ (available in two scents).

The viral Bissell Little Green just got a mini makeover! Here's how it stacks up

Even though I'm a home writer who tests cleaning products for a living, I used to think I could spot-clean without a machine — that a good brush (or microfiber towel) and solution could suffice in most situations. That was, until I tried the internet-famous Bissell Little Green. It's powerful. It's compact. It saved my favorite carpet when I thought there was no going back! So when I heard about the Bissell Little Green Mini, an even more portable, yet still very effective, miniature version, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. The Mini costs $95, about $30 less than the standard-size Bissell Little Green. I waited months for this small wonder to become available and then again when it sold out, but now that I have it at home, I'm happy to report that it was worth all the anticipation. Find out how it managed to secure a place in my heart (and a coveted spot in my apartment) in my Bissell Little Green Mini review. Curious about other cool product launches? We've got you! The Bissell Little Green Mini "hub" has two tanks (one for clean water and cleaning solution and another for dirty water), a 4-foot hose and a 12-foot power cord. It comes with a 4-inch brush attachment and a cap that "closes" the hose for running a clean cycle (aka clearing out the hose when you're done). The hose wraps around the base and the cord around a holder along the back. There's a power switch for operating and a handle for transporting it. Like the original Bissell Little Green, the Mini is incredibly easy to assemble and operate: After the initial setup (which consisted of clipping on two pieces, along with a brush attachment), I just filled the "clean" tank with water and the included cleaning solution (there are fill lines for easy measuring) and popped it back into place. I plugged the machine into a nearby outlet, tapped the power button, and it was off to the races! I was eager to see how the new Mini stacked up to the Bissell Little Green's cleaning abilities. I put the Mini to the test by ... getting pretty reckless. I splashed coffee, syrup and leftover grenadine I found in my pantry onto my light beige carpet. Then I pressed the switch on the back of the cleaner head attachment to distribute some of the cleaning solution, and watched in amazement. The Mini was able to remove every substance with ease, and I couldn't get over how lightweight and compact it was. It weighs 7 pounds (versus the original Little Green's 9.65 pounds) and measures about 13 inches wide (the Little Green is 17.25 inches wide by comparison). Carrying the Mini was as easy as toting around a small purse (I like to think of it as my little cleaning clutch). And it takes up practically no room for storing — it would fit on a standard utility rack, on a shelf in the average linen closet or in a cabinet under a bathroom sink. As is typical when miniaturizing an item, Bissell had to make some sacrifices when manufacturing a Mini version: To start with the most obvious, the smaller frame cannot support the same tank sizes (and therefore, capacities) as the original. With the "Mini," you're looking at a 16-ounce clean-water tank (versus the original Little Green's 48-ounce tank), which means you may have to refill it when tackling bigger projects, such as refreshing an entire rug or sofa. The hoses on both Little Green devices are the same length (4 feet). But when I measured the hose from the back of each machine — with brush attachments affixed — the Mini extended about 4.6 feet (as compared to the original device's 5 feet), so there's slightly less reach. The miniature version has a shorter cord, which stretches 12 feet (as opposed to the original's 15), but it worked for all of my needs. I also tested it to make sure it would stretch across my full flight of stairs when plugged into an outlet at the bottom, and it did. (That said, if you don't have an outlet nearby, or are using this to clean a car, an extension cord can easily rectify things). My original Little Green came with a bonus crevice tool, which is one thing I wish the Mini had. I found one pretty cheap for purchase, but it seems like an optimization Bissell could make without affecting the size or weight of its new, smaller version. Overall, the new Bissell Little Green Mini lived up to its promises (and my expectations). It's smaller, cheaper and — if my ears don't deceive me — slightly quieter than the original, with a slightly wider brush attachment for tackling a larger cleaning path at once. And it gets the job done: Not only did it make coffee, syrup and grenadine vanish in my initial evaluation, but it managed to remove a mystery stain from a white rug (above), plus refresh a white upholstered armchair. I'd consider the Mini a good bet for anyone with small living and/or storage spaces, or people who need to deal with only the occasional mess. It's such a solid buy that I decided to give my original Bissell Little Green to my sister, who owns a house with more carpets and furniture, and keep the Mini for my apartment. Good things do come in small packages. We received complimentary samples of some products and purchased others ourselves, but we reviewed all products using the same objective criteria.

I tried the latest version of the internet-famous Bissell Little Green. Here's my review

Here at Underscored, we're big fans of the Bissell Little Green. So when a miniature version of the TikTok-famous carpet cleaner came out, I was obviously intrigued. How well would it stack up to the original that's won over so many people? To find out, I put the new Bissell Little Green Mini to the test, purposely staining an area rug and thick carpet with everything from red wine to dirt to see how well it can deep-clean those surfaces. Curious if you should add it to your cleaning arsenal? Keep reading for my full review. Bissell Little Green Mini Portable Carpet Cleaner The latest version of the Little Green has all the features we love about the OG (which has been around since 1993!), but in an even cuter miniature size. It's a great choice for cleaning carpets, mattresses, furniture and more in small homes with limited storage space. Its compact size is great for small spaces (and small messes) My first task while testing the Bissell Little Green Mini was to refresh the middle seat on my couch. I don't have a kitchen table (small apartment problems), so I eat dinner on the couch whenever I'm home. And since I'm a creature of habit, I always sit in the same exact spot — you could tell from the slight discoloration on the lower left of the cushion. I gave the middle cushion a once-over by spraying the solution and extracting until the appliance stopped sucking up liquid, and that was all it took to refresh it. Is it a super noticeable difference? Not really, but I can tell — and I feel good knowing that if I did spill something, I have a good way to clean it up. In the future, I'm sure I'll clean the entire sofa at once. However, it's important to know that this machine is definitely designed for small spaces and minor messes. That's because the main difference between the Little Green and the Little Green Mini is their size. The new model is significantly more compact, so it's easier to store in small spaces — you could easily stash it in a cabinet or under the bed. And as someone who lives in a one-bedroom apartment, I appreciated that I didn't have to scramble to make room for another bulky cleaning tool — it easily fits in my cramped closet. The Little Green Mini also weighs just 7 pounds, compared to the original's nearly 10-pound weight, making it easier to hold in one hand and carry around the house. It comes with a 4-inch nozzle (surprisingly bigger than the original's 3-inch nozzle), which sprays, scrubs and extracts all in one tool. It also has a generous 4-foot hose and 12-foot cord, which allows for plenty of movement without unplugging and finding a closer outlet. If you're trying to deep-clean anything big (like an entire couch), you'll likely need a lot of passes with this portable carpet cleaner. You'll also have to refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank because they're pretty small — but more on that later. You can see exactly what it's extracting Next up, I stained a small, low-pile area rug and a high-pile carpet square with red wine, coffee, olive oil, ketchup, sriracha, soy sauce and dirt. I wanted to see the full potential of the Little Green Mini, so I let those stains set for 24 hours before tackling them with the carpet cleaner. (After all, it's not always possible to clean up messes right away!) This was how I could really get a good look at how the appliance works. As I passed over every stain with the tool, I was able see exactly what it was sucking up since the nozzle has a clear cover. So while I passed over the red wine stain, the liquid getting extracted was tinted burgundy, while the ketchup and sriracha were bright red. Then once most of the stains were extracted, the tool just suctioned up the remaining water and cleaning solution mixture. The dirty water tank was also a great visual of how much work this little cleaner was doing. I was honestly shocked by how disgusting the water in the dirty tank was — a true testament to the fact that it was working. It's easy to set up, use and clean The Little Green Mini required very little assembly before it was ready to use. All I had to do was attach the hose clip and cord bracket. Then, I simply filled the clean water tank with warm tap water and a bit of the included cleaning formula. That's it! Using it is pretty easy too: Just press down on the trigger to spray the solution, scrub the mess with the tool's bristles and then pull the tool toward you to suction it up. And once I was done using the appliance, cleanup was simple. I emptied and rinsed the dirty water tank, and I removed the cleaning tool and rinsed its clear cover and bristles. It also came with a HydroRinse Self-Cleaning Tool, which is designed to rinse the hose so gunk doesn't build up over time. Instructions for using it were pretty self-explanatory: Attach the tool to the hose, hold it upright and press down on the trigger for 30 seconds. (It's worth noting that I experienced a bit of leaking while using this tool, which I'll touch on more later.) A post shared by CNN Underscored (@cnnunderscored) Set-in stains will require pretreatment and a lot of manual work Unfortunately, the Little Green Mini wasn't able to remove most of the set-in stains from the carpet sample or area rug. The coffee and soy sauce stains definitely showed the most improvement, but the red wine stain looked like it was barely touched — and I gave it many, many passes. (Maybe pretreating it with Wine Away would have given better results.) Surprisingly, I had just about the same results when I tested this cleaner out on fresh stains. If you're dealing with major messes (especially set-in stains), I'd strongly suggest pretreating them with a dedicated stain remover before attempting to remove them with the Little Green Mini. It leaks a bit I wasn't initially concerned about the leaking I noticed while cleaning with the Bissell, but once I was done and tidying up, I saw quite a bit of water on my floor, which made me reconsider. In my experience, the clean water tank started dripping the second I turned it upside down, so I suggest waiting until you're right above the appliance before flipping it over and installing it. The troubleshooting guide says leaking would really only be caused by a damaged tank or improperly installed cap, but I tried several times and experienced a bit of leaking no matter what I did. I also noticed some water leaking from the hose nozzle while using the HydroRinse tool, so I wish I had used that over the sink. The tanks don't hold as much as they seem to Even though the water tanks are pretty big, the size is actually quite misleading. Both the clean and dirty tanks seem like they could actually hold so much more liquid than the max fill lines indicate. I'm sure there's some reason why they can't be filled to the top, but it just feels like there's a lot of empty, wasted space. The clean tank is designed to hold 16 ounces, while the dirty tank can hold 13.5 ounces — and that's significantly different compared to the capacity of the original Little Green, which could hold 48 ounces in the clean tank and 45 ounces in the dirty tank. I had to refill the clean tank twice and empty the dirty tank once while cleaning the area rug. Another reason why the Mini is better suited for small spaces! Is this appliance a miracle worker when it comes to stains? Definitely not. But still, at just under $100, it's a great portable carpet cleaner for people who live in small spaces or simply don't want to deal with a bulky full-size model. And it has such a small footprint that I honestly won't mind keeping it on hand for the occasional spill or yearly spring cleaning refresh. (And yes, I will update this review with more insights as I continue to use the Little Green Mini over time.) Should you use hot or cold water in the Bissell Little Green Mini? Should you use hot or cold water in the Bissell Little Green Mini? Bissell recommends using warm tap water (140 degrees Fahrenheit max) in the Little Green Mini. During testing, I used warm water from my kitchen faucet, which was about 130 degrees Fahrenheit, according to my Oxo instant-read thermometer. Does the Bissell Little Green Mini need a cleaning solution? Does the Bissell Little Green Mini need a cleaning solution? For best results, you'll need more than just water in the Bissell Little Green Mini — especially if you're dealing with stains. The brand recommends using its Little Green Oxy Spot & Stain solution (a sample bottle comes with the appliance), but you may have success with other types of carpet cleaner formulas. I also suggest pretreating deep stains with a stain remover first.
