Drones target Shahed UAV factory in Russia's Tatarstan
Drones have attacked a Shahed (Geran-2) drone manufacturing facility located in Yelabuga, within the Alabuga special economic zone in Russia's Republic of Tatarstan. Source: Nastoyashcheye Vremya (Current Time TV), Russian-language television channel; Telegram channels Sirena, Mash, Astra Telegram channels; Yelabuga mayor on Telegram Details: Russian air defence reportedly shot down at least four UAVs over the city. The mayor of the city, Rustem Nuriev, and the Russian Defence Ministry said that one drone was shot down and that there were no casualties or injuries. The Russian Ministry of Defence also reported that "an unmanned aerial vehicle of the aircraft type was destroyed by air defence systems over the territory of the Yelabuga district". No damage was recorded. The airports of Kazan and Nizhnekamsk had to suspend their operations due to the threat of drone attacks. The restrictions have now been lifted. As Sirena reminds, the Alabuga special economic zone is located in Tatarstan, 10 kilometres from Yelabuga. Previously, Alabuga was attacked in April 2024. It was the first time that Ukrainian drones had ever flown more than 1,200 kilometres to a target. Background: The Wall Street Journal reports that the plant in Russia's Alabuga special economic zone in Tatarstan, which was attacked by Ukrainian drones in early April 2024, is supposed to produce 6,000 Shaheds annually.

I just ordered another one because I'm low on mine. I use it every night and hour before clocking in at work and even forget how my feet used to hur t until I get home and I'm like 'wait a second, my feet didn't hurt.' I'm not kidding when I say this is It! Amazing product!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.97. 2. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because nine times out of ten, it'll be easier to reach for a super-effective wipe than figure out which bottle of cleaning solution is best suited for today's mess.

They'll clean up grease, oil, tar, dirt, ink, lipstick, nail polish, food, and a whole lot more. Promising review: "Only within a couple seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three, and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." — Sirena Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98 (available in nine sizes/packs). 3. A genius amber reading light that'll be much nicer for bedtime reading (it's 99.94% free of blue spectrum light) either you or your partner could use.

Amazon, Promising review:"I don't have the best lighting in this house or the best eyes, and that makes for a hard time cross-stitching. These are absolutely wonderful! I can see my patterns and do my cross-stitching which is so great during this quarantine. Be sure to charge every night after use though. And they are so lightweight I forget I'm wearing them! Highly recommended!" — Nini Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors). 5. Some Bunzee Bands are made for Afro puffs, locs, dreads, and thick ponytails. They're super strong and built to last up to two years (that's a really long time for a hair tie), but they won't harm or painfully pull your hair.

Bunzee Bands is a small business dedicated to providing pain-free hair ties for people of all hair shapes and sizes. Promising reviews: " Sent from the HEAVENS!! This. Is. Everything. During the summer time my hair was placed in time out. The curls that came out in the morning from my braid out would succumb to humidity the minute I stepped out. So I was left to just do puffs, and I'm was used to using the typical headband to do so. It would cause major headaches and being prone to headaches, it wasn't fun. So this product was a complete godsend! I can rock my puffs on my busy class days and forget I even have a puff in because there's no headache! 😍😍" — Mikaylia "I absolutely love this. It does the trick. My locs are long and thick and so rubber bands take too much to try to get them on, and usually I can't get them tight enough. Finally I found something that works." — Karen Get a pack of two from Amazon for $18.95 (available in eight colors, a single pack, and a smaller size). 6. Sally Hansen Instant Cuticle Remover to painlessly rid the area around your nails of dead skin but also soothe skin with aloe and chamomile. Promising review:"I had never tried this before and I am so glad I did. It works great! Within seconds of applying it to my nails, the cuticle becomes soft and I can remove it right away. I used to never remove my cuticles when doing my nails, I guess because I didn't really know how to, but since I started using this product my nails look so good. I'm happy with the product and the results." — ABernal Get it from Amazon for $6.95. 7. A pumice cleaning stone that'll remove all sorts of stubborn rings that've been staring at you every time you're in the washroom. This'll make the task plain and simple. Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). 8.

Clean Skin Club is a small business that launched in 2019 to create innovative natural skincare products. Promising reviews: "These towels are great. If you are looking for absorbency, durability, and skin sensitivity in a facial towel, look no further. I have rosacea; therefore, I have to be very careful about what I use on my face. These towels are the best. no breakouts from usage. I highly recommend these towels!" — Terri Get a 50-pack from Amazon for $17.05 (also available in other packs). 9. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger can find a spot under sinks around your home for when your double-cleansing (oil-based cleanser first!) nighttime skincare routine wreaks havoc on your bathroom sinks. This'll help you get sorted, STAT. Promising review:"Perfect plunger for sink. This plunger fit the bathroom sink with ease. Doesn't take much effort to plunge the sink. You have to plunge a few times but it is so effortless and definitely clears a clog. I would recommend this plunger." — C. Lorenzo Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven styles). 10. A set of satin pillowcases have a cooling, soothing effect that I can personally vouch for because I'm up to four sets of these babies by now. Promising review:"My hair has never been better!

A portable handheld fan for those moments when the breeze takes a break. Oh, and it's also a power bank *and* flashlight. So you'll be sure to find all sorts of other uses for it. Check out a TikTok of the portable fan in action. I own this and use it ALL the time. It comes in handy in a variety of situations at home *and* while traveling — especially when you're sitting in a stuffy plane in Miami in July with the doors open, waiting for the pilot to board and take off.

This keeps you in the green on Teams while you're off having your toilet TikTok time for 20 minutes. Amazon Promising review:"Saves me from auto logouts! My brother recommended this handy gadget. I work from home and have three monitors. When I leave my desk for lunch, the computer goes to sleep, and when I come back, everything is logged out, and whatever was on three monitors ends up on two. SO frustrating. This is programmable for three settings, and I use it on the minimal movement, so when I come back, everything is just as I left it. Revolutionary! Just remember to turn it on!" — Isaiah Get it from Amazon for $7.25. 13. Crave Naturals Detangling brush will glide through your hair without tugging or ripping out your strands. Tangled curls, meet your match. Promising review (for natural hair):"I never write reviews, but I had to for this one. This brush cured my cancer, paid my rent and revived Jesus from the dead. This. is. a. holy. grail. I have the tangliest (IDC if that's not a word) terribly hard to manage curly, natural hair. But this brush gave me shine brighter than a haole baby's bottom and glided through my hair with ease. 100% RECOMMEND." — Amazon Customer "I love this brush so far. I have very dry, coarse, curly hair. I used this with my hair straightened, and it reduced frizz and breakage and seemed to add shine, distributing oils well. I've yet to try it on wet hair, but I love it so far!" — Ashley Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in nine colors and two-packs). 14. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck for the candle fiend who also can't get enough gadgets.

A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupuncture point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be great in case you get motion sick in a budget-friendlier plane, car, bus, or ferry ride. Read more about acupressure and nausea at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Promising review:"These are amazing, as someone who has pretty severe motion sickness and carries Dramamine with me everywhere this is magnificent. I used these on an overnight cruise in Europe. The sea was particularly choppy that night and was miserable for me even with Dramamine and ginger. These did the trick! They were fairly tight on me (I am plus size) but the relief they gave me was immense." — Jena Freyermouth Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.43 (available in adult and children's sizes). 17. A bug bite suction tool can help you out with existing bites to remove the irritating venom, and help reduce itchiness, pain, and swollenness. Plus it works on other insect stings. Think about all the scratching you could've saved yourself! Amazon, Promising review:"I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. It arrived on Monday and on Tuesday morning I woke up with a bug bite on my arm. I used this little tool (3x per the instructions) and documented with photos. Immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" — Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95. 18. A cooling towel you simply soak in water and wring out to bring some chill to that outdoor run... or just stroll! Just walking outside or doing some low-key gardening can make you sweat like a racehorse. Promising review: " I am so in love with these, mostly use them for running, etc. I use them at night a lot because I'm going through menopause. It has been a miracle for me, I've tried all kinds of supplements they help but this actually works better for me. Also had a virus and used one to cool me down and help with fever. So they have so many uses, I suggest that everyone get these!" — Annette Looper Get a four-pack from Amazon for $5.99 (available in four color combos). 19. A Shark Tank -featured Click & Carry Grocery Bag Carrier that'll help you take way fewer trips from the car to the house. It allows you to hook on your bags (up to 80 pounds!) and *comfortably* rest the carrier on your shoulder. 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). 20. Self-heating soothing foot masks made with Epsom salts, lavender, and peppermint for those nights when you REAAAALLY want a foot massage but no one but your precious cat is around to help. Your kitty is busy making biscuits overtime. He knows the rent is due! Check out a TikTok of the foot masks in action. My colleague Emma Lord loves these: "I'm a long-ish distance runner and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and after a few minutes feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn't quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they're usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!" Promising review:"Very soothing. My husband and l used these on our European vacation and they definitely felt good on our feet!" — KS2018 Get a set of three pairs from Amazon for $11.97. 21. A flexible grabber that's made for people with limited mobility but can come in handy for everyone while trying to grab stuff that's JUST out of reach. Also, you can fold it for easier storage and its sensitive grip means you get a better feel of what you're grabbing. Amazon Promising review: "Bought the 2-pack. Wanted my mother to be able to reach rarely used items in the topmost cupboard without getting on a step stool if my sisters and I weren't available. I'm using the other one to pick up trash when out mudlarking. Sturdy and convenient that it folds up." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $19.16. 22. A ~streamlined~ door draft stopper to help keep whatever temp air you prefer within the room you're currently in, rather than the rest of your home where you're not. Promising review:"So easy to set up! All you do is peel tape and adhere to a CLEAN and DRY door. Also looks great, I don't even notice it. I had a huge gap under my door. I could smell and hear everything from the hallway. Smells, drafts, and sound all are less of an issue now." — Brit B. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors). 23. An under-cabinet lid opener will help pop open that jar of pasta sauce in a jiffy. Everyone can use this, but reviewers with limited dexterity especially find it helpful! Promising review:"Works exactly as it says it does. I have small hands and trouble gripping things. This makes opening jars extremely easy and it opens in seconds just by twisting the jar counterclockwise. I'm so glad I ordered two so I can give one to a family member who has trouble with opening jars as well. I would definitely buy this again!" — H.T. Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 24. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. Promising review:"This product is so easy to use. As you can see from the pictures, my bathtub was staying pretty good. The guy that owned the house before me used Ajax to clean it so it has almost no enamel left on it and it's probably the staining and nothing could get it out until I bought this. After 4 8-hour applications you can see the difference. I highly recommend this to everybody and once it's completely clean I'm gonna go on the once a week application. I actually bought another bottle for my dad and mom." — Domenick R. Stamegna Get it from Amazon for $19.39. 25. A drill brush cleaning kit that'll attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh at the flip of a switch that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. Includes three brushes that'll attached to a standard handheld drill. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York! Promising review:"I'm in love with this. I manage many apartment properties and finding people to do the cleaning has been tricky business, so I end up having to get in and clean these horrendous filth pods tenants lived in and left me to deal with when they move out. The ovens and stove tops are usually the worst, and I absolutely hate cleaning. I came across this drill attachment set, and let me tell you, it helped me tremendously! I still had to get in with a putty knife on some of them but it really cut down my elbow-grease time. If it wasn't for this drill attachment, I think my arms would have just fallen off trying to clean it as good as I did! My only con would be that it doesn't have any extension of any sort, so I really had my drill all up in that oven, but well worth it." — alicia haats Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six bristle types). 26. Some sheet fasteners if that the fitted sheet won't stay put on your mattress, and you end up in a sheet burrito. These are exactly how they sound, so no matter how much you toss and turn, your fitted sheet won't come loose in the middle of the night and require an extra pair of hands to put back in place. See them on TikTok here. Promising review:"I love these! Since I started using them my sheets haven't popped off once and that used to be a several-times-a-night problem because I toss and turn when I sleep. Thank you, TikTok!" — Gabby Get a set of four from Amazon for $8.96 (available in three colors). 27. A rectangular lazy Susan made to hold more than the traditional round ones and to help you use every last bit of your apartment-sized fridge's space. Yep, it's time to really make the most of your legendary condiment collection before that fancy jar of preserves goes bad. Amazon Check out a TikTok of the rectangular lazy Susan in action. Promising review: "This is perfect for short people with big refrigerators! I could never reach anything on the top shelf and had to grab a step stool, now everything fits perfectly on this, and I can reach them all! It glides great and is very sturdy." — Tara Mann Get it from Amazon for $22.99. 28. A set of safe-locking magnetic duvet clips can keep your duvet in its proper place, instead of loose and saggy inside the cover you couldn't resist form Urban Outfitters. These work for duvets up to 10 pounds and then use a magnetic key to remove the clips on laundry day. Amazon Checkout a TikTok of the duvet clips in action. Pinion Pins is a small business specializing in home improvement products. Promising review:"I was super worried about if I would have enough of the Pinions, and I totally do! My duvet is kinda thick and the Pinions pierced through with no problems! Plus with a little extra room if I had some extra layers. I REALLY like how you have to have the magnet tool to pull them apart. Absolutely no moving! Don't walk, RUN TO BUY THIS. I also like how unnoticeable they are." — Abigayle Mishler Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $17.95. 29. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your old house *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. (Can you sense an enchilada theme here?) I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well. Get the starter pack from Amazon for $16.88. 30. A Briotech spray that'll help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. BTW, people also love this for helping heal piercings. Promising reviews: "This is a [swap] for the Tower 28 spray that's 28 bucks for 4 ounces. I use this after cleansing my face before toners or serums. It's healed my acne. Also great for eczema. I have recommended this to so many people. Thanks Briotech for saving me money! Lifelong customer here." — Chey "Just an FYI, this product has the exact same ingredients as the Tower 28 spray! It's been absolutely amazing at reducing acne and texture! It's also so refreshing and gives a lil glow. So in love!" — BK Get an 8-ounce bottle from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in four sizes and in packs of two and four). 31. A piercing bump solution stops the little bump on your new piercing that you've been watching and you're like "ehhhhh." It's made to reduce the size of your keloid. This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done and it was getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this and started using it and in less than two weeks my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick!" — Jordan C. Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in packs of two). 32. A fungal nail renewal formula in case you've been side-eyeing your unpolished toes since you finally got around to watching The Last of Us and googled to find out more about funguses, thus realizing that o phiocordyceps unilateralis is a real thing that (thankfully!) doesn't infect humans. ANYWAY, let's get that nail fungus looked after! This stuff will hydrate and exfoliate any brittle, damaged nails, help improve the appearance, and reduce discoloration and thickness leaving you with some dramatic results. Promising review: 'I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren't too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application. ' — WIAPilot Get it from Amazon for $16.97 (available with or without nail file). 33. A pair of moisturizing gel heel sleeves so you can moisturize your parched heels without feeling like your old dogs are suffocating. (If you've tried the TONS of lotion + sleeping socks method and you hated it, give this a go). The sleeves are packed with aloe vera, shea butter, and mineral oils. Promising review:"I have painful cracked heels. They get so bad I can't even walk. I've used every cream imaginable. And I've tried sleeping with socks on but my feet get too hot and really doesn't work. These have saved my feet. Easy to put on and lightweight. I love the freedom that my toes are out and the gel is so comforting. They really work." — Ginasurfmom Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three colors and packs of two). 34. A pack of Dr. Frederick's Original Better Blister Bandages made with hydrocolloid to not only avoid rubbing existing blisters, but also to help heal them. Here's what BuzzFeed staffer Emma Lord has to say about them: "As a blister-prone human, I swear by these. A few years ago, before I invested in these running socks that prevent blisters, I got a blister on my big toe so unspeakably large and painful that I am cringing even TYPING about it, and no amount of rest from running seemed to heal it; it just kept coming back. I finally used one of these bandages, and the pain was virtually gone from the moment I put it on. It was also so airtight that nothing got inside, and it didn't loosen in the shower. You're supposed to take it off when it loses adhesive so it can come off gently without disturbing the blister if it hasn't fully healed yet. After using two of these in a row over the course of a week and a half, my blister was finally healed up enough that it stopped coming back." Promising review:"I got a big heel blister while breaking in some new work boots. It would have been painful to keep wearing the boots with a traditional Band-Aid. These Dr. Frederick's heel bandages work like magic. They are literally like a padded extra layer of skin. Put one on and you can't even feel the blister anymore. Could put the boots back on and go right back to work. And they fit so well, that towards the end of the healing period I forgot and even took a shower with it on and still stuck on fine. Like I say, like an layer of temporary skin." — Kevin Weatherman Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in four varieties). 35. A tub of O'Keeffe's hand cream to give your ragged cuticles and dry paws a major overhaul because they always seem to get super dry as soon as the calendar says it's ~officially~ fall. Promising review:" I have suffered from splitting and cracking fingers every fall and winter for years. I tried Eucerin, Lubriderm, and Gold Bond creams, but none seemed to relieve the splitting from reoccurring. I tried O'Keeffe's Working Hand Cream and within 2.5 days, the splitting and cracking were no longer a factor. Since using the cream, I have not suffered any more cracking or splitting. I am on a busy schedule and only use it at night when I go to bed. It says it's non-greasy but you can definitely feel a slick texture on your hands once applied. That's why I use it at night before bed when I don't have to open door knobs, touch smartphones, or shake hands. It has the texture of cake icing, goes on smooth and works into the skin quickly. It has no smell I can detect. I am so glad I found this cream, it has ended years of split and cracked fingers/hands." — T.H. Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available two sizes and in packs of two and twelve). 36. And O'Keeffe's foot cream is a new trick to treat your old dogs. Promising review:"I have tried EVERYTHING, but because I am barefoot all the time, my heels crack (gross!!!!!!)... a lot. Sometimes they split open and it can be incredibly painful. After about three days of applying this cream at bedtime, the pain started to go away because the healing process was kicked into gear by my skin finally being soft enough to do its thing. It leaves a weird residue on your hands after application, (which could probably easily be washed off if I wasn't already cozied up in bed), but it made all the difference for my normally cracked and dry heels. I notice I get much better results when I use it daily, (so if you skip a few days, you'll notice it won't work as well). Consistency is key, but it really does work!" — Faith Mendelson Get it from Amazon for $8.26+ (available in two sizes and packs of two and twelve). 37. An earwax removal kit anyone who seems to get built up goo quite a bit will appreciate. Or anyone who watches earwax removal videos when they can't sleep. ::raises hand:: Promising review:"Many years ago, I had a pretty severe wax impaction issue. Went to the doctor and got my ear flushed. They recommended this to continue to deal with excess wax. So satisfying to see the wax flush out after using this. These days, my eczema and dry skin had re-surfaced in my ears. So, now I use it to deal with the dry flaky skin in my ears. Put some drops in, let it fizz and bubble, and flush them out. The flakes come out easily — much better than the maddening itchy ears." — Kim Get it from Amazon for $8.29+ (available in pack of two). 38. A ceiling fan carbon filter can make your breezy BFF work even harder for you. This filter attracts and grabs dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. And because it goes on *top* of the blades, only you'll know it's there. Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect when purchasing these, but now they are a staple in every room of our house. Within three days the air smelled more crisp and was easier to breathe in our home. So simple and effective!" — Haylee Marez "We have these on every ceiling fan in our house and have noticed such a difference since installing them! There is less dust on our furniture, and the general air quality in our rooms has improved. There is no longer dust build-up on our fan blades. Super easy to install!" — Hannah McClam Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79. 39. A simple mountable cat-grooming brush will help your kitty get some rubs when your hands are all tied up with other tasks (or just resting!). Promising review:"I got this for my three-legged cat because he can't scratch his left side. He'll be trying to scratch and all you see is his little nub going crazy. I found these and he immediately LOVED it! The expression on his face when he first tried it was priceless. The only downside is that it's possible it'll fall off because it was hard for me to get all pieces of tape to stick on a corner at the same time, but I can always buy more double-sided tape so not a big deal to me. The product is for Floyd, not me, and he's happy, so 5 stars." — Pippa Runs Get it from Amazon for $ 5.50. 40. A fast-acting, refillable plug-in fly trap can cover up to 400 square feet of space to help lure in with a guiding light and ensnare those annoying little bugs that keep flying around you while you're then when you're just trying to enjoy your home-cooked meal. It works on fruit flies, moths, gnats, and regular flies. Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action. Promising review:"I can't say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It's a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" — Chris H. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $ 24.99 41. A self-stirring mug if you'd rather die than take your coffee black, but hate how long it takes your creamer and sugar to actually blend. Check out a TikTok of the self-stirring mug in action. Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of coffee and I need it in daily life. Absolutely loving this new cup! Easy and quick to mix your coffee and milk, pretty handy! Cleaning the cup couldn't be easier with the self stirring function, just put a little dab of soap, fill the mug half way with water, turn it on and let it do its own thing." — Lina Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in five colors). 42. A dishwasher magnet so everyone in the house is on the same page about whether it's OK to eat off a plate that's in the dishwasher and you don't spend 10 hungry minutes quizzing everyone on its status. Amazon Promising review:"I got this because my mother has dementia and she kept putting away dirty dishes 🤦🏽♀️. And believe it or not she has actually been using it and it definitely has been working! So I highly suggest buying this for parents or someone you know who has a similar problem!" — Raquel Get it from Amazon for $6.64 (also available in six colors). Also check out a version that's completely silver without the red or green for $20.95. 43. A scalp massager will feel like an in-shower treat (especially if you live for the scalp massage at the salon shampoo bowl). This is gentle enough but still effective at loosening up hair product buildup so whatever conditioner and other styling products you apply have room to work like they're supposed to. I have one in my own shower and use it all the time! This is also made to increase blood flow to your scalp and stimulate hair growth. Promising review:"As I've gotten older (62), my scalp has gotten itchy so I thought I'd give this a try. Used it twice and already feel a difference. It makes my scalp tingle and just feels good. I just scrub with shampoo in my hair for about a minute. It's easy to hold and washes off nicely." — Cindylou Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 44. A set of flexible curling rods can give you some great heatless curls because the heated rollers of yore just seem to dry out your hair. With these, you can put these on dry hair with a bit of mousse and then sleep overnight in them. Promising review:"I love these rollers. My hair is very thin, and the hot rollers and dryer that I have been using have further destroyed my hair. These rollers are easy to use. I put a little water on each section, roll, and usually wait two hours. My curls are great, and stay all day. I am 70 years old." — The Sutherlands Get 42 rods from Amazon for $15.99. 45. A timed safety shut-off plug in case your holy grail hair straightener doesn't have an auto-shutoff and you're a tad forgetful. No worries with this! Amazon Promising review:"Exactly what I needed! I kept leaving my flat iron on. I turn this on, and then my flat iron. If I forget to turn off my flat iron, it is automatically turned off after 30 minutes of being on. Perfect!" — Pamela Hitz Get it from Amazon for $11.59. 46. The SAEM Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick, a cooling eye stick made with *actual* Icelandic glacial water to depuff your tired under eyes. Oh, and it just feels really, really refreshing. Promising review:"Love, love this product. I place it in the fridge. I travel a lot and I get jet lagged with under eye bags. As soon as I place this product on, my bags are gone. It's a little miracle. Just ordered two more." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 47. A portable white-noise machine because you booked a vacation rental in THE best neighborhood for nightlife — which was all well and good until the night you went to bed early to catch the (cheap) first flight out. (Ahem, Trastevere.) Amazon Promising review:"I purchased this for my trip to Europe as I sleep with white noise every night. The rohm scores extra points for volume control, and it can get quite loud. It's also lightweight and chargers easily with a USB." — Jessie W. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two- and three-packs). Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Simplify Your Household Cleaning Routine With These 53 Super Effective Products
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. Because (basically) no one has said they'd like to spend more time cleaning. 1. A tub of heavy-duty cleaning wipes because nine times out of ten, it'll be easier to reach for a super-effective wipe than figure out which bottle of cleaning solution is best suited for today's mess. These work on almost any surface: leather, fabric, furniture, hardwood, pans, metal, WHEREVER. And! They'll clean up grease, oil, tar, dirt, ink, lipstick, nail polish, food, and a whole lot more. Promising review: "Only within a couple seconds of using these wipes, I get a clean result. I am a busy mom of three, and need something quick that ACTUALLY works. This product is amazing. I would highly recommend. Renting an apartment, it's hard to clean the walls without removing the paint. This gets the job done 100%." — Sirena Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98 (available in nine sizes/packs). 2. A reusable pet fur remover might just have you tossing your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch. You don't wanna walk out the door with fur all over your behind, only to learn from your work nemesis. 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 $23.99+ (available in four colors). 3. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for erasing all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"I have a finished carpeted basement that my dog peed on… mix in that horrible smell and basement smell. I've tried so many products, and nothing worked. Then I tried this and it is the only thing to actually neutralize the smell. For the comments saying that the spray bottle sucks, I think they are using it wrong? Mine worked perfectly fine. Just turn it to a mist setting, and it was perfect for the carpet." — Damian velez Get it from Amazon for $17.96. 4. A pumice cleaning stone to remove all sorts of stubborn rings that've been staring at you every time you're in the washroom. Nope, you do NOT need a new toilet. Your OG just requires some zhuzhing. Promising review:"I have very hard water that leaves hard-water buildup and nasty stains. It's embarrassing to have guests over because the toilets are so gross! I have tried so many products and cleaning solutions — from natural essential oils to harsh chemicals so strong I was lightheaded for the rest of the day. Well, I tried out this pumice stone after reading about it in a BuzzFeed article, and honestly the hype is real! It does take some elbow grease, but the after picture is from only 20 minutes of scrubbing, light enough that I didn't break a sweat! The stone does get used up, but I think this one should last me a couple years at least. So if you have embarrassing toilets, try this!" — Stephanie Ray Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). 5. A car-dedicated wet/dry vacuum (that plugs into the cigarette lighter!) because who has the time to go by the car wash and feed quarters into the vacuum?! Has a 106w motor, strong metal turbine, 16-foot cord, elastic hose, nozzle, and a clear trash compartment so you can see when it's time to empty it. Promising review:"This thing is awesome! I own a 2018 Dodge Durango that sadly does not have leather seats. I own three dogs and it is just a nightmare pulling out my extension cord to vacuum my truck. I can now just plug this little guy into my 12v car outlet and I'm good to go! The power in this vacuum is as good as it's going to get for a car vacuum so if you want extreme suction — buy a shop vac. Also the attachments are fantastic. P.S. I own three dogs — it picks up hair. The spots with sand in the picture are not vacuumed over yet to compare." — Sally Get it from Amazon for $24.72 (available in two colors). 6. A handheld steam cleaner (perfect even if you're in a small space and that's how you can afford to live solo) with a nearly 10-foot-long cord to help you get at all sorts of greasy, stuck-on messes sans chemicals. Promising review: "Cleaned stove top and the hood vents. Then, I had to clean the sticky grease from the sink. Worked very easily and without chemicals. Easy to use and to refill. The attachments make various jobs easy to clean." — Lori Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 7. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger that'll find a spot under sinks around your home for when your double-cleansing (oil-based cleanser first!) nighttime skincare routine wreaks havoc on your bathroom sinks. Yes, I'm talking about myself. Promising review:"Perfect plunger for sink. This plunger fit the bathroom sink with ease. Doesn't take much effort to plunge the sink. You have to plunge a few times but it is so effortless and definitely clears a clog. I would recommend this plunger." — C. Lorenzo Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in seven styles). 8. A drill brush cleaning kit that'll attach to your drill/driver for an informercial-like cleaning sesh at the flip of a switch that'll have you seeking out all the dirty surfaces you've been ignoring. Includes three brushes that'll attached to a standard handheld drill. The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use. Drill Brush is a small business based in New York! Promising review:"I'm in love with this. I manage many apartment properties and finding people to do the cleaning has been tricky business, so I end up having to get in and clean these horrendous filth pods tenants lived in and left me to deal with when they move out. The ovens and stove tops are usually the worst, and I absolutely hate cleaning. I came across this drill attachment set, and let me tell you, it helped me tremendously! I still had to get in with a putty knife on some of them but it really cut down my elbow-grease time. If it wasn't for this drill attachment, I think my arms would have just fallen off trying to clean it as good as I did! My only con would be that it doesn't have any extension of any sort, so I really had my drill all up in that oven, but well worth it." — alicia haats Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six bristle types). 9. A Cerama Bryte cooktop cleaning kit so you can finally get rid of the gunk that seemed like it would never come off of your stove. The kit includes a 10-ounce bottle of Cerama Bryte Cooktop Cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper to make it a quick and easy job. Promising review:"This really worked! I I had been using a soft scrub type of cleanser on my glass cooktop. I didn't think this stuff would do much better but I wanted to try it because of all the good reviews. It really works well. I was impressed at the improvement to the look of my cooktop and it definitely works better than just a abrasive cleanser soft scrub type of thing. Will buy again." — Krista Taylor Get it from Amazon for $11.48+ (available in two styles). 10. A incredibly powerful grout cleaner can erase years of nasty buildup that you've just come to live with over the years. Promising review:"We moved into our house a year ago and I've been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. As a last resort I got this and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." — Britney Phillips Get it from Amazon for $ 21.95 11. A bottle of Goo Gone foaming spray will help you win the good fight against greasy spills and messes. Your oven is about to get a makeover. Promising review:"Wow! A degreaser that actually works! I love the foam, which starts to work immediately on my stove top as well as cookware and other kitchen surfaces." — P. Webb Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes). 12. A wineglass-washing dishwasher attachment in case your dishwasher isn't equipped with a way to keep a wineglass upright and in place OR you don't have enough for your needs. After all, hand-washing stuff you don't absolutely have to is pretty annoying. Wine Wash Co. is a woman-owned small biz that specializes in dishwasher attachments. Promising review: "I had a hard time finding wine glass holders for my dishwasher. My previous dishwasher had built-in holders, but my current dishwasher does not. I got tired of having wine glasses break during dishwashing cycles. These holders are sturdy and fit the bill for standard glasses. They can fold up when not in use. I would not use them for expensive Waterford crystal wine glasses, but they are perfect for everyday glasses. A must-have for wine drinkers!" — Alicia Get a set of four from Amazon for $15. 13. A plant-based stainless steel cleaner + a microfiber cleaning cloth will finally help you get rid of all the little paw and fingerprints that seem to magically appear out of thin air on your kitchen appliances. Check it out in action on TikTok! The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a really long time. Promising review:"This stuff works great... and that's coming from a clean freak. This cleaner/polish works awesome on stainless steel and any other material that the appliance is made of. It comes with a high-quality microfiber cloth, and it smells good. A little goes a long way, so it lasts through daily use." — RMK Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a larger size and two-pack). 14. Some wood polish and conditioner can help turn back time on some water stains because despite your constant reminders, you family can't seem to actually use the coasters and the coffee table for their water glasses. Enhances the natural beauty and depth of grain on finished *and* unfinished wood. For use on antiques, dining tables, kitchen cabinets, wood doors and trim, etc. Promising review:"Used this to attempt to clean up the 45-year-old solid wood couch that I inherited and reupholstered. Got the water stains off after one application! Perfect!" — Stacey A. Berkin Get it from Amazon for $8.47. 15. An Angry Orange "Filth Cleaner" that'll pretty much sum it up because it gets at alllll kind of nastiness so you have to put in a whole lot less elbow grease. Really, you already spend so much time in the bathroom. You don't wanna clock that much more! Amazon Promising review: "Battling urine smells/stains was becoming a losing battle. I decided to try this due to the good reviews. This product has been excellent. I used it around my toilets and on the floor. The bathrooms have never smelled better. It worked well on the soap scum on the walls of my shower tile as well. The smell is strong, but it does dissipate, and then it's just fresh and clean." — Cornelia Get it from Amazon for $17.75. Also check out the brand's beloved odor eliminator. 16. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your home *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well. Get the starter pack from Amazon for $12.16. 17. A jar of The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of sticky, stuck-on, scribbled situations like Sharpie on this piece of furniture. Reviewers also used it on outdoor furniture, a metal door, and white walls, just to name a few outdoor surfaces. Promising review:"I tried numerous products to remove this Sharpie marker from my table, and nothing worked, not even to fade it. I got it off in less than five minutes with The Pink Stuff. It did take off a little of the 'shine' that it did have, but it's not too noticeable. I wouldn't use it on shiny wood furniture because of that reason. I also had to apply a lot of pressure to get it all the way off, but I was happy with the results." — Molly Get it from Amazon for $9.99. 18. Grandma's Secret, an under-the-radar solution with serious stain-removing prowess — like, cleaning pen from a white leather couch or all the grime from the shoes you hiked in last weekend. It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few months ago I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out! Promising review:"This stuff is so amazing. I'm a witness. My 2-year-old baby wrote all over my white leather couch. I tried multiple different things and nothing work but Grandma's Secret Spot Remover. I love this stuff." — L. Nix Get two bottles from Amazon for $8.99. 19. Some bleach-free outdoor cleaner to spiff up your walkways and other surfaces you can likely tackle before you break out the pressure washer. Its foamy formula is totally safe around your precious plants Reviewers have successfully used this on fences, mesh outdoor chairs, Sunbrella chair cushions, decks, vinyl siding, and cedar siding. Promising review:"I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." — R. Latreille Get it from Amazon for $10.98. 20. A foaming garbage disposal cleaner you simply throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. Amazon Promising review:"Saw on TikTok (don't judge) and automatically added to cart. So easy to use, takes probably a minute to fully bubble up and clean, and you're left with a clean sink! I use with other drain cleaning products, but would 100% recommend for weekly maintenance." — Jessica Hamilton Get a four-pack from Amazon for $8.97. 21. A red-wine stain remover you should keep on hand because, well, accidents happen! But you can be prepared for (at least some of) them! Promising review:"Spilled an entire glass of red wine on my couch last night. Of course I was about to load the entire couch off to the dump, but I remembered I had bought this product probably a year ago and hadn't tried it. The stain literally disappeared before my eyes…and after throwing the cover in the washer and dryer, the stain is 100% gone. I thought for sure there would be a purple cast of color on the cushion. NO. You would never know I spilled an entire glass of wine on this cushion. I wonder if it works best when used immediately? Curious if it would work on old stains. REGARDLESS: it is a miracle product." — Kelly Potter Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in several sizes and in individual wipes). 22. A specific ink remover for removing all sorts of pen accidents on that couch your niblings used as a sketch pad. Promising review:"This was left on my sofa when some ink was smeared. I let it sit overnight and washed it in the washing machine on a warm cycle. I am very shocked at the results. My couch is like brand-new.." — Ayauna Get it from Amazon for $15. 23. A leather stain remover spray can zhuzh up your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative! This also works on Durablend, vinyl, compound, saffiano, faux leather, and other leather or leather-like surfaces. Promising review:"Used the microfiber cloth to apply and after the first treatment noted only mild improvement, but after the second treatment (done just after the first treatment dried), the stain was not visible!! I then did the entire chair and the results are great. Advice: Do not scrub the area hard. This may roughen up the leather. Apply lightly and wipe off with another microfiber towel." — mich Get it from Amazon for $15.98. 24. Bioclean, a hard water stain remover if you're tried at looking at all the streaks and soap scum on your shower doors, fixtures, grout, and basically everywhere else in your bathroom. One reviewer swears that you should, "Buy a lifetime supply immediately." Promising review: "I'm a clean freak with hard water, and this stuff took off the build-up like magic. I would recommend using a slightly damp scratch pad. It takes a little elbow grease, but I have tried a ton of products, and this one is the only one that worked!" — Lori Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 25. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of gross, stuck-on situations like that bathroom floor grout you came to terms with being dirty gray forever. Promising review:"I'm a bit of clean freak. This tool is an essential tool that scrubs hard to remove bunt-on food and stains. A real game changer. So glad someone introduced this to me." — Grade E Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 26. A bottle of nontoxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover to make all sorts of horrific stains disappear quickly. *And* there's no rinsing or vacuuming involved. To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with an absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin! Promising review:"I am on a cleaning high! My cat puked CANNED cat food on my carpet two days ago. I tried everything for two days to get this out. I looked up canned cat food puke on a carpet and someone on there said to try Folex. I sprayed this magical elixir on, followed the directions and oh my gosh it is gone! Gone! I've been flying through the house since I got home, putting it on old stains from years ago. All gone! It doesn't smell at all and it feels like water on your fingertips. What is this stuff? I am a clean freak and I am impressed." — GARY Get it from Amazon for $6.53+ (available in various sizes and packs). 27. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner you can simply just spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. Promising review:"I bought this so that I would not have to use energy to scrub my tub and shower. It may not seem like a lot of energy but for somebody who has a chronic illness and is a clean freak, it's a lifesaver!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.39 (available in two sizes, two scents, and a two-pack). 28. An ~intense~ grout cleaner — it'll bring blackened grout back from the disgusting brink because you shouldn't want to wear shoes in the bathroom. Promising review:"I am pregnant so I have a hard time scrubbing my floors but I am a clean freak. So I bought this to give it a try based on the reviews and this has been a lifesaver for me. Before this I used bleach, The Pink Stuff, etc, but flooring was still messy. Now I barely scrub and magic! Can't find the proper words to describe this beauty." — Lila Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in multipacks and with accessories). 29. A bottle of leather conditioner will revive your leather goods *even* as large as a leather couch! Welcome to your next project while you catch up on the latest ep of your fave true-crime podcast! Reviewers note that using this may darken the leather, so keep that in mind! Promising review:"I'm a clean freak! I have used a couple of other leather conditioners/cleaners for my leather couch and this by far is the best. The consistency is similar to honey (hence the name).... a little elbow grease is necessary to work it into the leather. I use this approximately every 6-8 weeks (3x) I have 1/2 the bottle left. After using this product, any scuffs or scratches were immediately less noticeable; it's very clean and conditioned (not dull). I plan on using this product so long the quality stays the same." — Rachell B. Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 30. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator that'll erase all the visual (and smelly) evidence of pet accidents on flooring and furniture. You don't need a new chair. You just need this. Promising review:"I love this I am a clean freak!! And I have a new puppy who was peeing everywhere lol he went on my couch and I tried high dollar urine sprays, water and bleach and this got it! A little goes a loonngg way. I cant say how good this product is. I will buy again. Smells like fresh oranges great product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.96 (also available in multipacks). 31. A jetted tub cleaner you simply run through in a bath cycle and just watch the filth (from previous tenants) EMERGE from the pipes. Then you simply wipe it away! It'll be equally horrifying and satisfying. Worth it. You run your bath, add the cleaner, watch the gunk emerge, drain your bath, and then clean off the gunk! Promising review:"I own a 400 gallon Rio jacuzzi and I purchased this product based on the favorable reviews. I am a clean freak and I thought I did a pretty good job of cleaning my Jacuzzi. I must say that I put 8 ounces into my jacuzzi, turned the jets on, and ran them for an hour. I was absolutely amazed of the crud and scum that was floating on the top of the water. I cleaned and drained the jacuzzi and repeated the process a second time. My spa is sparkling clean and I have already ordered another bottle. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT." — Dodger01 Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 32. A holy grail soft cleanser can help you *easily* erase all those gray and rusty stains on household surfaces you came to terms with years ago. They aren't paying rent, so give 'em the boot! FYI, this is the pre-mixed version (which saves you a bit of time). But you can also try the original powder version.

An upholstery cleaner to undo whatever it is your kids are doing to your backseat. (Please, I don't want to know.) Promising review:" A clean freak must-have! This is the best fabric seat cleaner ever!!! I have a light creamy seat and it gets stained easily, i had it cleaned numerous times at a deep clean car wash and they always leave water spot stains whenever the seats are dried. The light color seats make it so easy to see the flaws. This product work like a charm, I was skeptical since I tried couple of things before but nothing really worked. I just need to spray it once and scrub with a brush and it just come right off. For a clean freak, this is truly my dream come true." — Jonathan Erickson Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in gallon refill size). 34. A makeup brush cleanser because you and I both know you're not washing your beauty tools as frequently as you should. (Same.) Promising review:"I'm not very good at makeup, but am practicing.

An MVP-worthy pet urine stain–removing spray to help turn back the clock on that ancient stain in the hallway outside your bedroom. Amazon Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories. Promising review:"I don't know how I ever survived without this. There's tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not house broken and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it's a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it's in a high-traffic area until it's completely dry. It's taken out every stain and more importantly the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" — Shelley Get it from Amazon for $19.97. 38. A mold and mildew removal gel that'll transform your shower surround in a mere six hours. Sadly, I think this is the closest we're getting to hopping timelines and universes because the Tardis only exists in our hearts and on our TVs. Promising review:"It's a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn't caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" — Brooklyn Nguyen Get it from Amazon for $13.99. 39. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. Promising review:"Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy." — AmazonBob Get it from Amazon for $17.97. 40. A jewelry cleaning solution that reviewers say give them a professional-level on the stuff they wear on the reg like wedding bands. It's formulated to safely clean gold, palladium, platinum, sterling silver, stainless steel, diamonds, pearls, beads, porous stones, soft stones, enamel, and treated gemstones. Promising review: "Like a professional cleaning. I had months' worth of buildup on my wedding rings and this took it all off with one use! My diamond looks as good as it does when I take it to the jeweler. Very happy with this product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 41. A powerful tire cleaner to clean off the road dust (and so much more) on all sorts of wheels. Amazon Promising review:"Wow! I spend a long time trying to clean my rims with car soap, dish soap, and other car products without any success. No matter how much I rub and scrub it felt like the the dirt and grime was a permanent part of my rims. I've been negligent and haven't touched my rims in about two years (I know... never again). I was desperate so I decided to do some research as a last attempt. I found this and thought maybe it's because I need something specifically for 'brake dusts.' Decided to give it a try and it actually worked! I had to scrub it with a brush and respray it about two to three times on each rim before it's 90% like new again but that's mainly because my rims are so heavily soiled that I don't blame the product. At the end of the day it did what I needed it to do so I'm happy." — Rvn101 Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two sizes). 42. And a bug remover can clean the gore from your windshield, grille, and side mirrors. 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 $17.99. 43.

Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed Humble Suds is a Denver-based Etsy shop creating plant-based cleaning solutions that are safe, effective, and come in cute packaging (Bonus!). My colleague Danielle Healy is a big fan: "Shortly after moving in to my current apartment, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). After handling all that grossness, it's had no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!" Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $14.95+ (available in two sizes). 44. A powerful toilet tank cleaner can remove rust and other mineral deposits. Sure, guests aren't looking in your tank every time you use it, BUT you know if it's looking gross or not. Promising review: "For six years I have tried to remove stains from my toilet. I used bleach, pumice stones, CLR, vinegar, baking soda. This has done the job with zero scrubbing on my part. I am so happy with this product. I put it in my toilet bowl overnight as well as the tank and the stains are going away." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $7.27. 45. A mold and mildew remover to work its magic on gross grout stains while you kick back and catch up on your stories. I am literally describing my life. Yep, it even works on pesky pink grout stains! My mom turned me onto this stuff in college and I've used it since. Promising review:"Nothing removes mold and mildew from my shower like Tilex. I'm not the best Suzy Homemaker, so my shower can get kinda gross looking. I used the Tilex and my shower was noticeably cleaner after just soaking in the spray for a few minutes. I then scrubbed a bit and even better! Now to get a smaller brush so that I can scrub the bottom better." — Mteren Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.49. 46.

RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional grade cleaning solutions for your home. Promising review:"I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four sizes and multiple quantities). 47. A rust stain-removing gel to help the gross shower surround. Lots of folks have gotten clean in that rental bathroom but it that doesn't have to feel that way. Promising review:"I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" — Toni Huitt Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a six-pack). 48. A plant-based stain remover capable of erasing YEARS-old blood stains from a tenant's mattress, as this reviewer explains. I have questions. MANY questions. Oh and it works on clothes too. Also check out our full review of Puracy Natural Laundry Stain Remover. Promising review:"A tenant left some blood stains on this mattress and a heating pad about 20 years ago. They were totally dry when we found them. Not knowing what to do, we put the mattress aside for 20 years until we found this product. Tested on the pad first. I sprayed a whole bottle on the pad, left it in a bathtub all night. Then washed the pad in the tub. The pad looks new after it is dried, even cleaner than when it was new! Wow! Then the real challenge, the mattress. With experience from cleaning the pad, I decided to use the solution much more efficiently. Here is the improved process: 1) Spray a little solution on the stained area. Make sure the stained area is soaked, but not too deeply. 2) Cover the soaked area with a piece of paper towel. I found it absorbs the stain very well. 3) Spray a little more solution onto the paper towel. This is for keeping the stain moisturized. These enzymes do not work under dry environments. 4) Cover the stained area and the paper towel on it with a piece of plastic film, which is normally for preserving food. Again, I did this to keep the stained area wet. The second morning, I removed everything from the mattress, used more paper towels to absorb the mess. And then, I used a clean car washing towel and cold water to clean up the remaining mess. I washed the towel and cleaned up again. Repeated three to four times, the mattress became very clean! No blood stain remains! Never imagined it could remove 20-year-old bloodstains." — nusaco888 Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes). 49. A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige? It's from a family-run business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review:"After reading the reviews I thought I could at least try it, and holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner!!! I think I have tried every cleaner on the market for pet stains and nothing ever really works on my carpets. Even if I get it off the top, it somehow comes back up. My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100% gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone. Miracle cleaner for sure!" — PLLane Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 50. A natural, plant-based cleaner in case the reason you let things reach gas station–bathroom levels is because you can't stand the smell of bleach. This stuff will tackle grime, streaks, spilled foundation, soap scum, and basically whatever else ends up on your bathroom surfaces. AND it'll leave behind a eucalyptus and tea tree scent, a vast improvement from smelling like an indoor pool. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I've never been able to get out and was thinking something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng Get two bottles from Amazon for $12.34. 51.

Promising review:"All the Good Vibes products work well, this is my favorite scent. I use it mostly for cleaning bathrooms and the floors throughout my home. It did an amazing job, however, cleaning the outside of a car that hadn't been washed in over a year. Two thumbs up!!" —my favorite Get it from Good Vibes for $12.50. 53.
