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. A nontoxic leather conditioner that'll bring your beloved leather reading chair back to life. All you need is a thin spread of this spiffy conditioner and you''ll be g2g! Now, what page did you leave off on? Promising review:"I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. 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).

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 · Just in absolute awe seeing the results of these products and how well they work. 1. A fan-favorite Sol de Janeiro body cream made with guarana and cupuacu butter to bring smoothness and hydration to your skin. Best of all, it has a delish pistachio, salted caramel, and vanilla scent and is gonna have everyone you talk to commenting on how darn good you smell. Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive I bought one for my mom, one for my sister, and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it, people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I'm not usually a sucker for marketing, but this was so worth it." — Kristen Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). And if (when) you do fall in love with the scent, they make tons of other products, including a fragrance! 2. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets or small children shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review:"My daughter is the queen of spilling juice on her bed, and I never fully realized the damage/dirt it was causing. My sister bought this and I decided to try, and it is worth every single penny!! I sprayed the bed down with the machine and I left for about five minutes, came back, and began to actually do the suction. It took about 15 minutes to finish but some lighter stains disappeared right away — no scrubbing needed." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $119+ (available in three styles). 3. An aloe and coconut oil after-sun soothing cream because I'm going to make a fair assumption that with nicer days ahead, you'll be spending more time outside, which means an increased risk of burns. Listen, I trust that you'll be smart and protect yourself from Mr. Golden Sun, but inevitable happens. This stuff will help hydrate your skin afterward and leave it feeling refreshed, moisturized, and itch-free post-burn. Promising review:"I burn very easily, so I try to stay out of the sun or wear tons of sunblock. On those days when I still manage to get burned, this has been the absolute best for pain relief. I've used it for years. Instead of trying to drive around to see which store carries it, Amazon has made it easy. I've tried other things that are too greasy, sticky, or just don't work. This stuff relieves the pain, smells nice, and it turns to tan rather quickly, skipping the peeling part. I swear by this stuff." — Danielle K. Schmidt Get it from Amazon for $10.03. 4. The Pink Stuff, a reviewer-loved product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of household items and surfaces (both indoors and outdoors). It shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces. Plus, this is vegan! Promising review:"I had tried everything to get the hardware stains off my shower. CLR, metal scrubbing pads, vinegar, and many other things. I thought I'd end up having to replace all the faucets. I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off the tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available in a pack of two). 5. A snout soother stick for pups whose noses need a little extra love. Simply swipe this onto their dry, chapped nose to help restore softness and hydration so they can go back to sniffing all that fresh springtime grass outside. This snout soother is organic, vegan, and made with all-natural ingredients! Promising review:"Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive that it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended this snout soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off, and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (available in various sizes and pack options). 6. A callus-removal gel so you can experience the baby-soft feet you not only want but truly deserve. Sure, you could just go to the salon and get a pedicure, but when this entire bottle costs a fraction of the price of ONE it's a no-brainer, isn't it? Not to mention, you can stay home and wear your pajamas. A win-win. Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review:"Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So, I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned being very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they had ever been. Love love love." — Cheri whisker Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three scents and two sizes). 7. Teeth-whitening pens for brightening up those pearly whites with a quick swipe. No yucky gel, bright lights, or dentist trips required! Just click, apply, and get ready to have "My Shiny Teeth And Me" by Chip Skylark stuck in your head all day. After brushing and flossing, you paint your teeth with the pen (each pen contains about 20 uses), wait for 30 minutes, then rinse! Promising review:"I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype, but after trying it out, it really does work. I've used whitening strips before, but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth, and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market, but this one was super easy and didn't hurt my teeth at all and didn't taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother's wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and taste s!" — Victoria Bravo Get a two-pack from Amazon for $18.95. 8. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to all. Just rinse it the next day, and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too. Promising review:"I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed 'til my arms ached, trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, I don't remember which one) and thought, 'What the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. On day two, I sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. On day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." — L. J. Petillo Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 9. Dishwasher cleaning tablets so the machine you rely on to clean the things you use to eat isn't gunking them up even more. These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help eliminate lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tubs and plastic tub dishwashers. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher due to super cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then, I became aware that the water softener was no longer doing its job, so I had the rental company replace it. Dishwasher performance improved somewhat. I decided to do two more loads before deciding to purchase a new one. Then, I saw a product test review for Affresh in a magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. When it came, I tossed one of the tablets into the bottom of the full machine and ran the regular cycle. I did not expect the results I got! My glassware, which I thought was permanently etched and ruined, came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I will use this faithfully on a monthly basis, as recommended. I can even put it on my subscribe and save order, so I will get a new pack every six months. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.99. 10. A set of acne patches you can apply over a popped whitehead. Simply put the patch over a zit, let it sit overnight or throughout the day, peel it off, and watch it take all the pore-clogging gunk with it. Read our Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch review! I suffer from hormonal acne — it's just something that I have come to terms with and will have to deal with for many more years to come, and while it's not fun, these acne patches make it sooo much easier. When I have a pimple about to come to a head, I pop one of these babies on it before bed and then peel it off along with all the gunk it pulls out. It definitely helps speed up the process, and they're gentle on my sensitive skin! Promising review:"OMG! It actually works! My son gets really large acne breakouts that are really hard to heal. He put these on before bed and woke up to his large white pimples being gone! Like, completely gone. I usually pay $50 a visit to the dermatologist for 30 minutes for him to get extractions, which is pretty painful for him. We will be ordering more of these and using these instead!! If I could give more stars, I would!" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of 36 from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of 72). 11. Plus, some overnight nose strips to help clean out popped zits taking up residency near your schnozz. Just slap one on before bed, get your beauty sleep, and wake up to the satisfying proof that it's been hard at work. Who knew evicting whiteheads could be this easy? Amazon Promising review: " It's gross in the most spectacular way. The amount of disgusting gunk that came out of my face was appalling, and I instantly gagged. However, my nose has never felt so clean and smooth for consecutive days. If you have oily skin, I definitely recommend washing your face first and applying it to the nose before moisturizing the rest of your face. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Everyone is getting this for Christmas…maybe because it's not cheap." — Justina Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. 12. Cleaning tablets that'll make you realize the important task of sanitizing your retainer, dentures, night guard, or any other dental appliances can be quick and easy. Now, you won't have to "lie" to your dentist and tell them you forgot your dental appliance at home when the truth is you were too scared to show them all that built-up yuck. All you need is a tablet, some warm water, and let it soak! Promising review:"I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG, it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." — Lisa R. Get 120 tablets from Amazon for $18.81. 13. Schick Silk touch-up tools perfect for painless, precise eyebrow shaping, cleaning up peach fuzz hairs on your face, and even clearing away dead skin. These little guys go a long way. Whether you're on the go or just want a quick beauty refresh, these tools are your new best friend. Promising review:"I suppose it's my hearty German peasant ancestry, but I've always been a hairy girl. Plucking the more egregious of the thick black hairs is required at least two to three times a week. I'd been eying these razors for a while and finally took the plunge. I could not believe how easy and quick it was. After a couple of swipes down my cheek, I noticed that it was done. I thought it was going to take a lot more skill and time. So much easier than tweezers and depilatories!! Wow." — Tara D. Get a pack of three from Amazon for $5.94. 14. A three-step cradle cap system that is so easy to use, you'll find yourself a pro at treating your little one's cradle cap in no time at all. First, use the sponge to lather bb's head with soap, cradle cap shampoo, or oil; second, massage circular motions on their head with the brush to loosen flakes; third, use the comb to lift the flakes away. Read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children's and the American Academy of Dermatology. The kit includes a double-sided foam sponge and bristle brush, a fine-tooth comb, and a storage stand. Promising review:" A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap, and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone, and it does wonders on the scalp and keeps the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." — LM01 Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in three pack options). 15. A stain and odor remover because those messes and unpleasant smells left behind by your fur babies are no match for its cleaning powers. An immaculately clean carpet AND a wonderful snuggle buddy? Yes, you can have both! Promising review:"I'm not going to lie; this stuff is significantly more expensive than most other available carpet sprays. You could probably buy four or five bottles of Febreze for the cost of this stuff, but the competition won't work nearly as well as Rocco & Roxie. This stuff is AMAZING." — Brian Get it from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and sizes). 16. A wrinkle-release spray to get your clothing, sheets, and more looking as if they were just ironed or picked up from the cleaners without needing to go through the trouble of doing either of those things. BuzzFeed editor Danielle Healy says, "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." Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in various pack styles). 17. A pet hair remover that is a MUST for shedding season (aka SPRING). This tool is SO easy to use — you simply swipe it over surfaces covered in hair from your furry bestie! It saves more time (and is a heck of a lot easier) than fussing around with a vacuum and lint rollers! ChomChom Roller is a Massachusetts-based small biz creating an eco-friendly, reusable alternative to sticky lint rollers. 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 that everything he says is true. You 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 Check out our ChomChom pet hair remover review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors). 18. Bio-Oil, a cult-favorite skincare oil to help reduce the appearance of scars left behind by acne, pregnancy, injuries, or surgeries thanks to a powerful (but gentle) combo of vitamin A, vitamin E, sunflower, lavender, and chamomile oils. Your skin will thank you. Reviewers say it sinks into the skin easily and never ever leaves a greasy residue. Promising review:"Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I use the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years-old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it's hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I've been using it morning and night." — Yasmin Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in two sizes). 19. A wash-off face mask that's the 👑 of multi-tasking — this bb works to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores, hydrate your skin, improve texture and complexion, provide a lil' lift, and balance your epidermis pH level. You only have to wear it for about 15 minutes, and it makes you look zombie-like while you use it. That's a little less than five repeat listens of "Zombieboy" by Lady Gaga! Promising review:"I have never written a review before, but I am compelled to do so now. Let's start with what my 41-year-old face looked like. I had bumps, tiny bumps all over my skin, especially my forehead. My skin NEVER felt smooth, even with the prescriptions I was given to help with these tiny bumps. Rosacea = bad, bad, bad. So bad that it was actually causing my cheeks to have what appeared to be thickening skin. Wrinkles, some that were quite deep. My pores were friggin huge and getting bigger day by day, it seemed like. I know that it says to use this product every three days. I chose to go with every single day for the first box of eight. The results were so amazing I decided on everyday for the second box. Even more amazing results. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE LISTED ABOVE NO LONGER EXISTS!!!! I moisturize deeply after rinsing, and my face looks absolutely amazing. My face did not even look like this at 30. I will be buying no less than three packs every single payday so I can stock up on this stuff in case they ever decide to quit selling it. If I had 10 stars available to rate, I would use them and more!" — Amazon Customer Get a pack of eight masks from Amazon for $19.99. 20. Bed sheet fasteners so you can ensure your sheets actually stay in place, no matter how all over the place you are in your sleep — it's not your fault those dreams you keep having about running off to a magical island with Glen Powell are becoming more and more realistic. These will also make it easier and quicker to make your bed in the morning! Bed Band is a small biz that sells these genius bands for your mattress! Promising review: "I have a pillow-top and pillow-bottom queen-sized bed that is a little too small for king sheets, and with queen sheets, I have battled to keep the sheets from popping off. I figured [these were] worth a try. It works. I was shocked. My sheets have not popped off once. I ordered this in February and it is May now — and they have not popped off once! They used to pop off To say this is life-changing is not an exaggeration. Such a relief to be able to sleep through the night without ending up in rumpled sheets." — TinkerbellAPixie Get a set of four from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes). 21. A shoe stretch spray because you spent too much on those now-too-snug cowboy boots a few years ago to let them miss out on all the country music concerts you have lined up this spring/summer. Time to dust those babies off and show them to the world! My colleague Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Here's what she has to say about it: "So, I have about three pairs of shoes that have just been sitting in my closet because while they are sooo so cute, the leather was too tight for my foot to comfortably get inside 'em. Did I return them? Nope. (We all know the hassle of online returns, right?) Instead, I bought this shoe stretch spray on a whim. I didn't expect much, but WOW! The shoes that took me a minute of struggling to get into fit *perfectly* now!! The process was as simple as could be, too. I just sprayed my shoes (inside and out, heel to toe) like there was no tomorrow. I put on some semi-thick socks (just to ensure I had ample room later) and wore the shoes around my house for about 30–40 minutes. As I was walking around, I could literally feel them begin to loosen up. After about 30 minutes, I took my shoes and thick socks off, and the shoes just ~slide~ on. Easy Peasy. Now I have a new favorite pair of shoes, and zero dollars have been wasted. I tried these with a pair of chunky leather loafers, but I can only imagine what they'll do for my pair of Dr. Martens — the boots known to take a while to break into. This stuff is a must!" Get it from Amazon for $10.99. 22. A bug bite suction tool to help get rid of itchy bites. Because walking around with bumpy bites and the need to itch them 24/7 is never fun. Kinda rude that little buggies get to munch on our skin and blood, and we have to deal with the consequences afterward. This works by suctioning up insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under the skin, which in turn prevents your body from producing a reaction to said irritant. You can also use it to treat bites from bees, wasps, biting flies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and sea lice. Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small biz! Promising review:"You need this! 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. I used this little tool (3x per the instructions) and documented it with photos. Immediately after using it, [my bite] 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 it is 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+ (available in five colors and multi-packs). 23. A set of oil-absorbing sponges that suck up scum, grime, and other yuckiness that's accumulated in your pool with minimal effort required on your part. Before you know it, the pool cover will be coming off, and the pool volleyball games will commence. Get ready to clean it in the spring and then easily maintain that cleanliness through the summer! Promising review:"Scummy water bugging you? I just got this gem of a product last night. I popped it into my hot tub, and from the picture I attached, you can see that in just about 12 hours, this little Scumbug ate up all the oil and filth in the hot tub. The water not only looks better but smells better, too! Highly recommended!" — Mickey D. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13. 24. A butt acne-clearing lotion because, yes, acne on the derriere *is* a thing, and if you're reading this thinking you were alone in this struggle, we're here to remind you, you're not. Enter this product, made with pure plant extracts like Australian tea oil, to help target the root of this annoyance on your booty and help kick it in the ~behind~. Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review:"I've battled painful acne on my rear end for years, and no dermatologist, cream, scrub, antibiotics, or ointment has ever been able to keep it under control. I bought this cream on a whim based solely on the reviews, and I'm so glad I did! After just one week of treatment, the acne was gone! No more painful days sitting at my desk or nights wondering if sitting on the couch too long was going to make my butt sweaty and cause another breakout. It's been almost two months, and just following the recommendations on the bottle, the acne hasn't returned. The scars from previous breakouts are even starting to fade. This cream is amazing, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. You won't regret this purchase." — deirdreD Get it from Amazon for $24.99. 25. A sand-removal bag to make cleaning yourself off after a beach day v quick and easy! Feeling like a sand magnet after a fun day under the suck is ICKY! Wanna know what's even worse? Finding little grains of sand hidden in crevices around your car months after beach season has already concluded!!! The absolute mess!!! Amazon Shakalo is a small biz based in San Diego! Promising review:"We recently moved to a beach area, and we are constantly there. This item has changed our entire lives! It lasts decently long (depending on how much you use it), it smells super good (not at all like baby powder), and it's super effective. It has saved me from vacuuming my car at least 1x–2x a week. I even use it on my dogs's paws and bellies to make sure they're taken care of. I will definitely be buying the refill and another baggie to have exclusively in the car." — Gabbs Uresti Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a three-pack). 26. A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil you'll only wish you'd bought sooner. With consistent use over time, this incredible solution helps make your nails look fresh and healthy. Evidence of a once-bad biting habit combined with questionable at-home manicure decisions begone! Promising review:"This stuff is magic. I am not kidding you. This is my first Amazon review ever. Just a few weeks ago, my nails were brittle and peeling. I always had my nails done, and they were pretty much destroyed… then I saw this on TikTok and decided to give it a try, and I legitimately have never had healthier nails in my life! If you're thinking about buying this…buy it!" — Jocelyn Nackley Get it from Amazon for $9.90+ (available in three sizes). 27. A dog spot repair solution because you took the easy way out of walking the pups this past winter by letting them do alllll their business in the backyard, and now you're paying the not for long! Thanks to a combo of mulch, seed, and soil amendment, your yard will look like a luscious green field rather than patches of dirt in no time. First, prep the area by removing dead grass and loosening hard soil. Next, apply the EZ Seed so that the area is mostly covered but bare ground is still visible. Step three is to water thoroughly! Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day, and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" — Mariah Get it from Amazon for $16.44. 28. Compound W One Step Pads for applying to plantar warts — they look like bandages, but really they're working hard to remove those stubborn little guys. Just stick one on and go about your day while the salicylic acid gets to work behind the scenes — it's like a tiny undercover agent for your feet. How's that for low-effort wart removal? Promising review:"More than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot. The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed. It felt as if I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally six years of fighting it, and on a whim, I tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION. I wore the bandage overnight. I didn't think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it's silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I'm telling you, I nearly cried. I've never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you've got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29. 29. A grill cleaner because there's never a bad time of year to enjoy a good burger or hot dog — and we want to make sure you have a quick and easy way to clean your appliance after each use so that burnt-on grease and food aren't left sitting there. 🤢 Promising review:"This stuff works fantastic to remove that sticky goop left over when smoking a brisket for 15 hours. Spray it on, let it sit for a few, use a limestone block to scrub, and rinse with a hose outside. I haven't found anything better for anywhere near the price, either. I have tried over a dozen different things, and this is now my go-to product." — GlocksNdonuts Get it from Amazon for $5.92. 30. A pair of Nippies — reviewer-loved pasties boasting ample coverage that actually stay in place. A world where you can wear a dress sans bra to a wedding AND partake in the "HOT TO GO!" dance without your nipple covers falling to the ground when Chappell Roan tells you to touch your toes? A true game changer. Promising review:"So I decided to put these to the ultimate test for 4th of July underneath my white, semi-sheer swimsuit. I wore them out in the Florida heat in the ocean all day, and they did not budge or peel off. I thought for sure these would take skin off by the time I got home because I just couldn't believe they stayed on the entire day (humidity is real). I was able to remove them with ease. I washed them with warm water and soap and let them dry, and the next day, they were super sticky, like they were brand new out of the package again. Buying these forever." — Marisa Get it from Amazon for $26.50+ (available in two sizes and six shades). BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by these pasties! Check out her Nippies review to learn more. 32. A set of Shoe Slotz space-saving units that'll take your collection of shoes from an overwhelming messy pile of who knows what to basically resembling the aisles of a DSW because you'll *gasp* actually be able to see your shoes. Sally Elshorafa / BuzzFeed My colleague Sally Elshorafa swears by this for organizing shoes. Here's what she has to say: " This product SAVED MY SHOES! I have an awkward set of built-in shelves in my closet, and it was the only place I wanted to put my shoes. As you can see from the before pic (above), it was a big mess; my shoes were piled on top of each other and getting really dirty. Traditional shoe caddies or boxes didn't really work because there's not much horizontal space, so I tried the Shoe Slotz. It fixed the problem perfectly! Because the design smartly stacks one shoe on top of the other, you save 50% of the space you'd normally use to store your shoes." Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $74.99 (also available in packs of 10). 33. An ultra-hydrating lip balm rich in antioxidants, vitamin E, and green tea your lips are practically begging you for right now. Sure, spring is in the air, but they're still feeling the effects of a brutal winter. Time to relieve that dryness and give your kisser the moisturizing treatment it deserves. Promising review:"So I have been a loyal Eos fan for quite some time, but you constantly have to reapply, and, honestly, my lips are still cracked. I found Jack Black balm from a TikTok video and it has been glorious. I keep reaching for it to reapply and I don't need it. It doesn't feel greasy on my lips, but it is a bit sticky. Or waxy. Either way, I don't mind it at all, and it also smells pretty darn good." — Trisha Get it from Amazon for $10 (available in six flavors and packs of three). 34. A curl spray leave-in conditioner because other than how cute your lil' curly Q looks with their adorable ringlets, the knots and maintenance are a nightmare for you both. This spray is here to help detangle and provide soft, bouncy, defined curls. A pre-daycare styling session that doesn't end with screaming and crying? Now that's a parenting win!! This spray is ideal for all hair types and has tons of reviews from folks with 2a–4c curls who absolutely swear by it! Promising review: "Amazing!! I had NO idea that my frizzy-haired little girl had beautiful curls. I went down an Instagram rabbit hole and saw a similar girl show how her frizz was curls. I ordered this!! My mind has been blown!! This has changed our lives. It smells so good! It is easy to use and air dry. Before my daughter woke up with terrible bedhead! Now, it is gorgeous soft curls. We will definitely buy again and tell everyone about this product!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.71. 35. A calming cream designed to help soothe skin from conditions like rosacea, post-shave irritation, and even sunburns. It's formulated with guaiazulene and centella asiatica to bring you a sweet combo of hydration and relief. Promising review:"Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I've had little success with anything topical that will relieve my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon, my face was almost completely healed, preventing pealing, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I'm completely amazed! I've applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It's got to be witchcraft because not even the different prescriptions I've tried over the years have produced these results." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.83+ (available in two sizes).

If The Best Gift You Could Give Yourself This Spring Is A Clean Home, You Need These 42 Products

The varied textures allow for deep cleans without scratching the surfaces of your best dinnerware. And the best part? You can clean these by putting them in the top rack of your dishwasher! Check out our full review of the Scrub Daddy sponge here. Promising review: "How can you NOT love the Scrub Daddy? Been getting my friends hooked on this for years. Buy it, then send me a little thank you note because it changed your life. OK, maybe not changed but definitely nudged. Never smells, dishwasher safe, last forever, doesn't hurt dishes, gets all the junk." — Kristi Rosengreen Get a set of three from Amazon for $13.99. 2. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — 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. If you're ready to give your rugs and furniture a proper wash, this is here to help! Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! 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 $123.59 (available in three versions) 3. And a carpet shampoo solution for getting your floors and rugs looking like their original color without any toxic chemicals. Who knew your brown carpet was actually a WHITE carpet? Woof.

I have a 10-year-old carpet that I'm trying to make last as long as I of 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 $19.99. 4. A set of reusable microfiber mop pads so you don't have to worry about running out of disposable pads in the middle of a massive cleaning project. 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 $11.39. 5. A pumice cleaning stone for saving your toilet bowl from a bleak existence. Over 18,000 reviewers have given this a 5-star rating for getting rid of their harsh hard water stains from rust, lime, and calcium — sans harsh chemicals. 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 $13.99 (also available in a pack of two and four). 6. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller — this is gonna pick up fur and lock it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. It doesn't lose its effectiveness with heavy use, so go ahead and de-fur your entire place to enjoy a moment of shed-free bliss. 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). 7. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $21.49 (also available in a two-pack). 8. A Ruggable machine-washable rug — a practical alternative to traditional area rugs for people who actually want to live life (spills and all) in the living room. Check out Ruggable's landing page for more Prime Day Deals! The image above is of my daughter's nursery, but I have a total of THREE Ruggable rugs in my home. The nursery, our sitting room/my office, and our kitchen are all Ruggable rooms. I won't use anything else! Before I was the mom of a human child, I was (and still am) the mom of two cats. Having rugs that easily wash are crucial for all the puke, pee, and other slips and spills that happen thanks to all my little critters. Promising review:"Amazing. Well worth the price. I love the two-piece design. Looks great. Very slip resistant, doesn't move at all. No need for rug grippers or protectors for hardwood. My kids already tested it out by dumping a cup of strawberry milk on the rug. It didn't leak through to the hardwood. Then we just threw it in the washer. I'm going to fill my house with these." — MattSand Get a 6'x9' version from Amazon for $529 (available in 14 styles and several sizes). 9. An ammonia-free glass and window cleaner that'll wipe away fingerprints and dog drool off the inside of your sliding doors without filling your home with a chemical smell. This is also a great option if you have a glass dining room table, like the reviewer below! Promising review:"I've been searching for a good window cleaner for four years. This cleans my dinette table better than any other cleaner. It's so clean you can see the reflection of my lighting in the glass, and that's the first time I've seen that. No streaking or residue, just clean (pictured above)." — ASull Get it from Amazon for $4.99. 10. A bottle of Bring It On — a cleaning solution your bathroom mirror is practically begging you to buy. If all the toothpaste, water spots, runaway hair spray, and splotchy skincare gunk that's stuck to your mirror has you feeling unsettled, this all-natural cleaner is gonna clear that up in seconds. Promising review:"This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie, this stuff needs some elbow grease but it definitely works. It took off what seems like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" — Tyrene A. Gapol Get it from Amazon for $18.99. 11. A pack of leather cleaning wipes made with a nontoxic, grease-free formula that'll condition, clean, and protect leather without leaving residue behind.

A Chomp wall cleaner complete with a baseboard duster, dry dust and wet mop cleaning pads, and a microfiber cover. With this telescoping tool you can finally dust and scrub high windowsills, vent covers, and age-old stains by your ceiling. Plus, you can clean your baseboards without bending (and breaking) your back. Promising review:"This is a game changer, y'all! I'm awestruck! I have arthritis all over and a limited income, and this helped me clean every single wall in my bedroom in one day. I just rinsed out the yellow head in the sink every few square feet. I'm so excited and telling all my friends!" — Lou DeJesus Get it from Amazon for $39.97. 13. A canister of 90 heavy-duty cleaning wipes perfect for those times when you've got guests coming in minutes and need one product to frantically speed-deep-clean as much of your place as possible (I am speaking here — these work very well in those instances). These are my guilty pleasure cleaning product. I have everything from reusable paper towels to reusable napkins, but every once in a while I need to deep speed-clean surfaces and these do an impeccable job. They're super durable, so one wipe goes a long way and one canister will last you ages! Promising review:"I absolutely love Tub O' Towels. The towels themselves are huge and they smell like citrus goodness. They cut grease, clean up cat messes (you know what I mean), dirty bathroom sinks, tubs, funky countertops, the list is endless. I live with teenage boys and these towels hold up." — Joann Stallbaumer Get it from Amazon for $14.98 (available in two styles). 14. An almond-scented wood polish and cleaner kit (with an included microfiber cloth) formulated with a grime-busting and wood-safe mineral oil that'll easily wipe away buildup on wood surfaces and restore their finish. Other natural cleaners often include beeswax or orange oil, which can leave surfaces sticky and require a second cleaning after use — this natural option is a one-stop shop! Sweet. Therapy Clean is a family-owned small biz in the United States using safe-for-you ingredients to make cleaning products. Promising review:"I didn't realize how 'thirsty' my furniture was until I used this product. It made my dining table look great (and it is 20 years old and used daily). Also, it applies easily and doesn't leave streaks. Highly recommend!" — Keri Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 15. A bamboo wire brush you can use to remove mats and add some fluff back into coats, rugs, tapestries, furniture, stuffed animals, and accessories made with plush sheepskin-style materials. If it's time to bring your well-worn items back to life, go ahead and ~brush up~ on your more unique cleaning skills! Promising review:" I've had sheepskin rugs and seat covers all of my adult life and have never had a better brush. Excellent product, does no damage, and cleans really well. Leaves things fluffy, un-matted, and doesn't yank out fibers. Nice price, too!" — talentlesshack Get it from Amazon for $17.99. 16. A handheld steam cleaner for anyone who would far prefer using steam instead of inhaling chemicals for hours when doing an all day deep clean. This has a cord that's nearly 10 feet long to melt away buildup and gunk all over your place. Because it's steam-based, it's great for pet products, curtains, kid's toys, grills — you name it!

The attachments make various jobs easy to clean." — Lori Get it from Amazon for $55.99. 17.

It'll remove rust, limescale, and general buildup on practically everything. You can use it on car windshields, barbecues, toilets, pools, boats, brass, stone, metal, porcelain, brass, hard so much more. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! Even though we use a squeegee after every shower we still had streaks of hard water stains. It looked hazy. This is a pasty application on a microcloth. It worked with minimal effort. I even use the battery operated scrubber to make it easier. My shower doors look like new again. It even worked on my shower head and facet handle. After cleaning the shower I tried it on my stove top that had scorch marks around the burners. It worked perfect with a bit of elbow grease. I could never get them off. I give it an A+. No harsh smell and one bottle will last me a long time." — T. Buckman Get it from Amazon for $19.77. 18. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator, a fan-favorite among pet parents, this odor-eliminating spray is gonna lift stains from carpet and furniture while *also* pulling out the odor that you haven't been able to get rid of despite previous deep-cleans.

We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, and now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks). 19. A stainless steel cleaner to wipe up grease, stains, and fingerprints faster than you're able to say "cleaning the kitchen sucks." Turns out, it doesn't have to with this stuff. This stainless-steel cleaning spray also comes with a handy dandy microfiber cloth. Promising review:"This cleaner doesn't leave a residue and actually works! Highly recommend!!" — Courtney B. Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (also available in multipacks). 20. A set of fast-acting Keurig cleaner pods you can simply put through a cycle on the machine to get rid of all the crusted-on grinds and residue that are *definitely* affecting the taste of your coffee, even if you haven't noticed over time. Promising review:"I had no idea that cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen, lucky. I would highly recommend, keeps everything running correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a set of six from Amazon for $9.95. 21. Or some espresso machine descaling tablets, because we're cleaning *well* in this post, folks! If you've invested good money on a great machine, you're certainly gonna wanna keep it ship-shape. These tablets are here to make sure each cup of coffee you make is brag-worthy. Promising review: "Awesome deal for such a powerful cleaning tablet. Works very well for my espresso machine.

A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets designed to clean and deodorize your machine while it runs naturally, makin' it sparkle and shine without you spending time scrubbing! Say goodbye to limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup! Okay, "Goodbye limescale, grease, and stubborn buildup!" Promising review: "I have the nose of a truffle pig and can smell the slightest tinge of something in the air, so when my dishwasher starts to smell, I am the first and usually the only one in the family to notice it right away. I have tried all the usual brands to get the hard water stains and gross food smelled out. Even rinse my dishes super well. None of them work like this stuff does! I was weary at first about buying it because it was so cheap. A year's worth of cleaning tabs!! Forget Finish, Cascade, and the other stuff. This stuff really works! Keeps dishwasher free from hard water marks, and my dishes come out crystal clear after." — Courtney E. Delong Get a box of 24 from Amazon for $19.95. 23. Plus, a fume-free oven cleaner with a spray, wait, and wipe away system — a quick shot of this stuff can eat up those baked-in stains you've been actively avoiding since your pumpkin pie boiled over on Thanksgiving. Promising review:"I HATE cleaning my oven and this is evident by the fact that I won't do it until it fills up with smoke when baking. I bought new appliances and I was meticulous about keeping the stove/oven clean by not using them. Well, when you're a mom, that kind of doesn't work, so I made sure to not have anything splash on the stove or in the oven when cooking and to immediately clean anything that got by me. That also only lasts so long when I work long hours, so I used to tell myself, "You'll clean it tomorrow". As you all know, that's code for someday. Weeks went by, and my stove needed cleaning, and I found the handy self-cleaning button. Let me tell you, that first time. I needed professional help the second time, so of course, I put that off until I couldn't. Got on Amazon and as I always do, I read the product description and instructions and then went straight to reviews on multiple self-proclaimed "best oven cleaners". This one was the one I decided to put my hard-earned money on, and it paid off! I sprayed everything the night before, and I was ready with my gloves and mask, but I didn't need them. There was no splash back when spraying and no overwhelming smell. Got up the next day, opened the oven, and 30 minutes later, it was brand new. I was so happy, and this is my go-to. I use it about once a month and do the self-clean in between. I've used it on the racks of my little toaster oven as well and the grime comes right off. I've included a before and after cause, I know pictures are worth a thousand words." — Sandra Stephens 24. And a box of washing machine cleaning tablets (because your appliance-cleaning day means *all* your appliances) to dissolve residue and make your washing machine actually smell fresh, which is a big deal when you haven't washed your machine bought it. Promising review:"Our new LG washer gets a stinky smell every so often so I bought these tabs. I put one in a month on the clean tub setting and it eliminates the odor. I just made a T-chart with a permanent marker on the box for the months and add an X when I put the tab in for the month. This way I don't miss a month and my washer runs great." — akkeber Get a pack of six from Amazon for $10.18 (available in two pack sizes). 25. A drain clog remover that'll dig down deep into the depths of tub drains clogged by bath salts, body scrubs, and other gooey goods that love clinging to loose hair. Promising review:"When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those 5-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh so rewarding job." — Chocolate and Chips Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.59+ (available in two styles). 26. A touch-up paint pen because scuffs make things look dirtier no matter how clean they may be and that one scuff mark on your wall has been MOCKING you for weeks now. Yes, trying to put up a shelf on your own ended in disaster. Thank you for reminding me, scuff mark! Slobproof is a woman-owned small business. Promising reviews:"Works great, no mess! This was easy to use to touch up our son's bedroom corner walls." — Elizabeth "Love this — absolutely perfect for touchin' up little spots that need touchin' up. I have several sets filled with different paints, and so far, they've stayed usable without the paint drying out. I rinse the brush really well after each use (latex paints) and recap it. It would be nice if the manufacturer put an area on the pen where you could easily label the paint info, but I use a permanent marker, and it works okay." — Hooked on AMZN! Get a pack of two from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two pack sizes). 27. A ceiling fan carbon filter for grabbing dust, pollen, smoke, dander, and other allergens as the fan spins. It sticks to the fan blade and is unnoticeable — but you may notice the difference in the air! 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 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $21.99. 28. A pressure washer so you no longer have to be awash in grief over a dull and dreary patio, home exterior, or fence. With this, outdoor furniture and other backyard basics can look brand new. In fact, it's just a spray away! It even comes with five spray tips to help you attack light to heavy-duty cleaning tasks. Promising review:"This little guy is a game-changer. It is so quiet, and so powerful. I was extremely skeptical about buying such a small, not to mention, electric pressure washer because I've only used gas pressure washers in the past. Well I moved into my house last year, and started to wash this driveway off with a friend's gas pressure washer and decided it was not worth the time because it was not getting very much of the grime/dirt off. Well look at what this thing did. This home is near the beach and flooded in Katrina, and probably hasn't ever been pressure washed. This thing worked flawlessly. I can't say enough good things about this purchase. Would buy again with confidence." — James G. Get it from Amazon for $199.99. 29. 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 $5.49. 30. 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. 31. Concrete paint in a satin silver-gray epoxy to make worn, weathered patios and walkways look pretty much pristine. Plus, it's easy to clean and won't scuff or fade! Promising review:"Excellent, easy to use and clean up. My outdoor patio is a little rough and it took a full gallon to cover 200 sq feet." — RLB Get it from Amazon for $35+ a gallon (available in two shades of gray). 32. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner — this'll clean your shower and prevent scummy buildup without *any* scrubbing. Because why use elbow grease when you clean? That even sounds dirty! To use: Spray the product onto your shower once a week and leave it on for 8-12 hours, then rinse it off! Easy as pie. Promising review:"This stuff is amazing! I had a horrible gray ring in the bottom of my shower that was impossible to remove. I had tried the Dawn dish soap method (with a lot of scrubbing) and had even used toilet bowl cleaner to try to remove the soap scum. My next step was to tear out and replace the shower pan and tile. I figured this was my last chance. I ordered the Wet & Forget spray and really coated the shower walls and floor pan and walked away. I CANNOT begin to tell you how happy I was to rinse down the walls sometime later and watch all that crud roll right down the drain!! This is the best product I have ever used in my life!! Works great and no toxic fumes!!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.19 (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack). 33.

To use, simply apply, wait six to eight hours, and then rinse away. No scrubbing required! Promising review:"I was skeptical in using this product as i have tried countless 'mold and mildew removers' out there. My mold and mildew problem is impossible to remove. I scrubbed, bleached, treated it but no noticeable difference. I left this product overnight and I was like 'what is this sorcery?' I have no other words to explain it. Phenomenal results!!" — iAwesome Get it from Amazon for $14.99. 35. An adjustable duster brush that'll spruce up your window shades so well you just might notice you actually did have a view through those dust bunnies. Promising review:"This product is AMAZING!

A cooktop-cleaning kit for times when your kitchen is so messy you're worried it'd be a fire hazard to make anything fancier than toast. This set comes with a 10-ounce bottle of cooktop cleaner, one cleaning pad, and one scraper. Promising review:"As soon as I used this stuff, I couldn't believe it! We had a new stove that I didn't clean for months and assumed the burnt pea juice (my enemy) would just be a new stain forever. However, after one application, it was basically gone. I used the scraper that came with it and did one more small application on just that spot, and it was gone! Every time I use this it looks like my stove could be brand new." — Christi Get it from Amazon for $11.48. 37. A drip dry cleaner so you can get your chandelier shining with just a spritz of spray. There's no need to take the dang thing down and clean each individual crystal any longer! Promising review:"This stuff is incredible.

I've attached a before and after one application photos (seen above)." — kw Get it from Amazon for $23.95. 38. Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner for jets that have filled with dead skin cells, dirt, and bacteria-filled buildup because your "treat yourself" baths did not involve cleaning up afterward. It's from a family-owned, Minnesota-based company! Promising review:"Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets). Almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then most came out as the chemical had time to circulate. So glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house and I thought, 'Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.' Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out." — Aaron Johnson Get it from Amazon for $18.73. 39. A handheld allergen vacuum with a sanitizing UV light and bacteria-blasting steam-free heat technology. With this, you'll *finally* make vacuuming curtains and upholstery a simple situation. Your upright vacuum could never. Promising review:"I used this on my 9-year-old mattress...I'm not a slob, I wash my sheets and mattress protector weekly. I recently noticed I have a dust mite allergy Wow did this vac pull out some of that gray powder: dead skin, mite poop, mite parts. I was surprised how much it pulled out of the mattress. I probably spent a good 30 minutes with double to triple passes on the mattress while also cleaning the carpet around bed as well as my pillow." — M. Cassie Get it from Amazon for $80.99+ (available in two styles). 40. A cleaning putty for making the most mundane cleaning tasks way more fun. Ironically, this slimy substance can be used to remove the *actual* slime your children make/squish into every remote and keyboard in your home. Promising review:"I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite was true, it cleaned it as good as new. This got all those dog hairs between the keys! Now there is no smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. There's no sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. It's even kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and to use it on my dusty window blinds. This stuff works and I highly recommend!" — ZZZZZZ Get it from Amazon for $6.98. 41. A power drill scrubber brush set that's gonna provide dazzling results on the stains that have been a part of your tile, glass, grout, or fiberglass so long it's simply causing you stress. This requires *no* scrubbing pressure on your part, making bathroom chores so easy you're gonna wanna clean with these ALL. THE. TIME. Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A.

Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray, and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!" — JC Get it from Amazon for $7.34 (available in two sizes). Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.

29 Cleaning Products With Before And After Photos That Are Scary Good
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. The photos speak for themselves. 1. A wet-and-forget weekly shower spray that works exactly as you'd expect: Spray it once a week, and then just rinse it off eight to 12 hours later. No scrubbing required to get rid of soap scum, hard water stains, and other grime. 🙌 Promising review:"I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed 'til my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full-time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower, I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning, there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue, and the glass looked clearer, too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning, the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile, and the glass looked amazing. Day three, I sprayed the remaining spots, and the next morning, the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that." — L. J. Petillo Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents, two sizes and a pack of two). 2. Or, a shower door cleaner to specifically target hard-water spots and other filmy build-up on glass. It'll make your shower look so ~polished~ that you'll probably feel like you're at some fancy hotel bathroom suite. Check out this Rain-X TikTok cleaning hack that will keep your shower door sparkling and see-through! Promising review:"This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time, I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass, and it turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." — EJP Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a two-pack). 3. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner since it's basically like having a professional carpet cleaner on hand at all times. According to reviewers, it effortlessly lifts away stains from carpets, rugs, and furniture in just a few seconds *and* works great to give 'em a deep clean. Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review: "Yep! TikTok made me buy it, and I loved it. Looked for it online, and on Walmart, they were about $150 for some reason?? Got it here, and I am LOVING IT. Things definitely look cleaner. Spots on my carpet are gone, and my carseats look brand new for the first time since I bought it! Directions are easy. Just a heads up, MAKE SURE TO USE WARM WATER. If you leave water in it and it gets cold, it's not as effective, so just follow instructions, and it should be wonderful!" — Carlos Get it from Amazon for $99.98+ (available in three styles). 4. The Pink Stuff's Miracle Multipurpose Cleaner Spray, which will convince you that miracles *are* real, at least when it comes to cleaning. Spray this on just about any surface to clear away the mess, be it grime, scum, marker, or anything else — virtually no scrubbing either! Watch a TikTok of the Pink Stuff spray effortlessly erasing this wall art! Promising review:"Glad I found this product on TikTok. Does 95%–100% of the job in seconds! Definitely worth the money." — Mother of 4 Get it from Amazon for $4.86 (also available in packs of two and three). 5. Or a jar of The Pink Stuff — it's basically the same miracle cleaning solution but in a thicker paste form, which might work better for walls, floors, grout, and similar surfaces. Reviewers are equally obsessed, and many call it their holy grail cleaning product. A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match. Promising review:"I saw someone using this on TikTok and I was skeptical at first, but for $7 I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" — Savannah M. Get it from Amazon for $5.97. 6. A fast-acting ChomChom pet hair remover roller so effective you might momentarily forget you are indeed a pet owner. Yeah, it's that good. Plus, it's reusable unlike those disposable lint rollers (which is great news for you because your furbabies never seem to run out of hair to shed). Promising review:"Heard about this through TikTok and after some time sitting in my cart, I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did! It works great and it's small enough to put away in a convenient spot (I keep mine tucked away under in my TV stand). It's amazing when you're tidying up the place in a hurry and you want don't have much time to vacuum! It's also very easy to clean. Great purchase!." — Becca Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 7. A bottle of Folex Instant Carpet Stain Remover because this water-based cleaning spray can remove any and all evidence of serious mishaps, like disastrous coffee spills, ink explosions, red wine tragedies, and even stubborn old stains you've been dealing with for years. Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! Promising review: 'There are products that you love and buy again. And then, there are products that you love and can't live without. And then, above that, there are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years, and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex, and said, 'We've got this.' If you have children, pets, or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-sized jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.' — Carobdnty Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in two sizes and in multipacks). 8. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner if your microwave never manages to stay clean for more than a meal or two. Somebody always manages to explode something in there, but nobody ever manages to wipe it down. 🙄 Well, now you can just fill this fiesty lady with vinegar and water before running the microwave for seven minutes — when the timer goes off, you'll have a sparkly clean microwave again! Promising reviews:"Our work microwave was so disgusting I wanted to throw it out. Or thought I would need a Hazmat suit to clean it. I literally put Angry Mama in for seven minutes, and everything just wiped right off. It was amazing. Then I put Angry Mama on top of the microwave. It's a funny reminder to everyone at work to keep the microwave clean. Highly recommend!" — Bridget " TikTok made me buy this! Love it!!! It does work! Cleaned my microwave! It's hilarious to see this angry mama blowing off the steam! Hahaaa." — Leah Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors). 9. A pack of two plant-based stainless steel cleaners because stainless steel looks so it's covered in fingerprints and water marks. This is specifically formulated to remove smudges and grime without leaving streak marks. Promising review:"The stainless-steel appliances in our rental were so stained and smudged. Regular cleaners didn't work. I saw this product recommended on TikTok and immediately looked it up on Amazon. The reviews were good, and the price was right, but what won me over was the plant-based ingredient list and lavender scent. I used the product the day it arrived in the mail. Worked like a charm! Easy-to-use spray, microfiber cloth included. So now, my stainless steel appliances look shiny, and my kitchen smells amazing! Highly recommend." — diana Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 10. A chainmail scrubber for an effective way to clean your cast-iron pan — and without soap, don't worry! It quickly breaks up food build-up but doesn't go so deep as to strip the skillet of any seasoning. Amazon Check out this TikTok to see it in action! Promising review: "I was looking for a regular chain sponge, but this came up in the same search. I love that I can keep my hands out of the pan when scrubbing. The handle is sturdy and handles the task very well. It has holes straight through to make cleaning it super easy. Very happy with it." — Christine Get it from Amazon for $16.89+ (available in two colors and various bundles). 11. A clever purse-cleaning sticky ball that collects all the crumbs, makeup debris, and other dirt in your handbag, so you don't find yourself pulling out Goldfish dust along with your ChapStick. Amazon, Promising review: " I found out about this little gadget on a TikTok video and thought I'd try it. I usually keep some sort of snack in my purse, and as much as I try to keep the containers sealed and my bags clean, I inevitably end up with those annoying little 'micro-crumbs' at the bottom. As soon as I ordered this ball, I put it straight into my purse, and within a day or two, it was already time to wash it! It picks up a lot for being so small! Pro tip: to open it, squeeze the thick ring around the middle, which should pop apart pretty easily. Rinse off the sticky ball part with just water, then put it back together and let it air dry for a couple of hours. Good as new! I highly recommend this product. Whether you have kids or not, bags get lint and tiny little crumbs over time. Buy it!!" — Sarah C. Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in five colors and three-packs). 12. A pack of six cleaning K-Cups in case you've noticed the coffee from your Keurig isn't tasting as good as normal. It probably needs to be thoroughly cleaned and descaled, which is exactly what these are for — and moving forward, you can simply run a cleaning pod about every three months to keep your machine in tip-top shape (and your coffee tasting top-notch). Promising review:"I had no idea cleaning a Keurig was a thing. I bought these because I saw them on TikTok, believe it or not. I wanted to give it a go because my Keurig isn't that old, and I didn't think it would do anything. IT WORKS SO WELL! My Keurig wasn't as nasty as some I've seen lucky. I would highly recommend, keeping everything runny correctly and clean." — Lauren Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95 (also available in a pack of 12 and 18). 13. A TikTok-famous bagless, touchless stationary vacuum so impressive you'll question why you ever even bothered with a regular broom and dustpan in the first place. Instead of having to transfer over dirt from the dirtpan to the trash (and drop half of it along the way), you just sweep directly into this thing and let it suck up the mess for you. Promising review:"Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $149 (available in three colors). 14. A rubber squeegee brush that — fair warning — might horrify you with how much hair it pulls up from the carpet. I'm talking deeply embedded strands your vacuum long gave up on. Plus, it can be used on other floor types as a dry sweeper or even as a squeegee mop for liquid spills. Promising review:"So of course I saw this product on TikTok... and added it to the list of things that TikTok made me buy. But I'm very glad that I did. I have a Siberian husky who sheds a in all seasons. I use this on my carpet before vacuuming, and it loosens up the hair so easily that my vacuum never got. I never realized I had that much dog hair caked into my carpet until I used this!" — Alyssa Frey Get it from Amazon for $16.55 (available with various accessories). 15. A cooktop cleaner kit so you can remove decades worth of yuck from glass and ceramic stovetop surfaces. Don't be surprised when your friends ask "Did you just buy new kitchen appliances?" next time they come over. The kit comes with a 10 oz. cleaner and polish bottle, a scrubbing pad, and a razor. Promising review:"This product is amazing!!! I cannot believe what it took off our stovetop! We bought a house and the electric stove was left and I had tried everything to get it looking new and clean, EVERYTHING. I'd seen this on TikTok and figured I'd give it a shot and WOW am I glad I did. Hello new clean stove." — Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.98. 16. An electric pressure washer if the exterior of your home could use a ~refresh~. Use this to blast away dirt and caked-on residue from steps, pathways, decks, and anywhere else that's looking a bit bleh out there. This pressure washer has a powerful 1,800-watt motor, five quick-connect spray tips, a 20-foot hose, and a 40.6 fluid ounce detergent tank. Look at this TikTok to see just how effective this pressure washer really is! Promising review:"This product did everything as promised. I had used a relative's power cleaner on the siding on my vacation mobile home. There was no setting, and the pressure was too much, and it scored the aluminum siding. With this product, you have all of the separate tips to regulate the pressure of the spray. The tip for aluminum siding worked very well on the siding for my home. It was truly a great experience. I put on the tip for aluminum siding to rinse it and held the spray nozzle very close to the siding, and all of the algae was removed, and my siding looked like new (at 18 years old!). I would definitely recommend this product, which is so reasonably priced for a power washer." — John K Get it from Amazon for $299. 17. An all-purpose power scrubber cleaning kit for when your manual arm power just ain't gonna get the job done. Attach this to a cordless drill, and get ready to become the Iron Man Tub Cleaner. Promising review:"So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." — A. Givens Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six versions). 18. And a cordless Rubbermaid power scrubbing brush that's small enough to fit into teeny, tiny cracks and crevices and powerful enough to deliver over 60 scrubs per second. All you have to do is press the small red button and move the brush along. Batteries are included with the scrubbing brush. Promising review:"You need one. Seriously. Saw this brush many times on TIkTok. It sold me. When I got it, I went into clean mode and the darn thing is just amazing. You'll love it. It's so sturdy and works very well." — Kristin Haadsma Check out BuzzFeed's full Rubbermaid Power Scrubber review for more deets! Get it from Amazon for $19.95. 19. A pack of six pumice stone bars if you dream of a glistening ✨porcelain throne✨ but have never been able to completely eradicate the build-up and water rings in the bowl. Reviewers confirm these work fast and work well without any scratching or damage, and they love the fact that it requires no chemicals. Promising review: "Never thought of using these for hard water stains in the toilet, but I must say — they work amazing. I was worried they would scratch the porcelain, but they did not. I did not have to use other chemicals and could get the hard water marks off in 30 seconds. I told all my friends and ordered them for Dad to use on his toilets. He has a septic system and does not like using chemicals to clean." — Patricia Get them from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a pack of 12). 20. A reusable universal cleaning putty since it's honestly kinda fun to squish and squeeze the putty into small spaces, like on your keyboard or the gaps in the car vent — and of course, doing so collects all the dirt, dust, and debris hiding in the cracks! Amazon Promising review:"This product does exactly what it says it does. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn't last, just when it's out of the container!" — Loren Get it from Amazon for $6.99. 21. A grout cleaner that's often used by professionals and for good reason — the included brush attaches to any broom or mop pole, which means you can apply the cleaner without having to get down on your hands and knees. The formula then effortlessly dislodges the grime and dirt, leaving you to just swipe it away. Amazon, Clean-Eez is a small business based in Indiana that sells cleaning products that help you take care of your tile and grout, remove stains and odors, polish wooden floors, and clean stone surfaces. Promising review: "After trying to get my grout clean with everything I could think of and not having any success, I stumbled upon a TikTok using Grout-Eez so i thought I would try it. This stuff is legit. I'm confident a professional cleaner couldn't get my grout cleaner. There is literally no dirt left. Very little scrubbing required and little to no odor. It's amazing! The scrub brush included attached to my paint handle and I didn't even have to bend over. I cleaned it twice because my grout was really dirty, then I sealed the grout in hopes it won't get dirty again so fast. I can't wait to do the rest of my house!" — Kathy Get two bottles and a brush from Amazon for $39.95. 22. A game-changing dishwashing spray for when you've got seriously dirty pots and pans but don't have the patience to let them soak all night. Simply spray this on, wait a few minutes, and then wipe your dish clean and rinse. You'll be shocked at how fast it lifts off tough grease stains. Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! The spray nozzle on the bottle is reusable and the set also comes with three refill bottles. Once you're finished with one bottle, just remove the nozzle and place it on any of the three refills. Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this spray: "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 it from Amazon for $4.94+ (available in four scents, two sizes, refills, and a bundle pack). 23. An all-purpose car upholstery cleaner to make the inside of your car look brand new. It's safe to use on pretty much all surfaces — real leather, faux leather, rubber, vinyl, upholstery, carpet, fabric, etc. — so you can give your ride a full detail service. Here's a TikTok of the Car Guy's upholstery cleaner in action! Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in two sizes). 24. A popular stain and odor-eliminating spray that pet owners swear by for dealing with stinky bathroom accidents or vomit stains. Of course, it's not just limited to pet messes — you can use this for nearly any stain on any surface. Take a look at this TikTok on pet stain removers! Rocco & Roxie is a small business that sells all kinds of pet supplies like grooming products, toys, treats, and cleaning products. Promising review: "I was a little skeptical of trying a new product, but I am glad that I did. I started with the worst pet stain in my house to really test this. I sprayed the center of the stain, waited for the recommended sitting time of 10 mins (I scrubbed with a carpet brush also), blotted with a towel, and bam! The stain was demolished. Couldn't be happier with the product. This stuff works like a charm, and I am very pleased with it. The scent isn't overpowering. Pictures from start to finish for proof that this stuff really works! I would also recommend a carpet brush for really bad stains such as mine, as it helps work the product into the carpet so it can do its magic." — Ricky Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two scents and two sizes). 25. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because the machine that cleans your dishes also needs to be cleaned sometimes (it makes sense when you think about it). Luckily, you only have to run a cycle with one of these tablets inside to get rid of any build-up and funky odors. Promising review:"After using this product, I am happy to report that my $5 investment saved me over $500. I was ready to replace my dishwasher, due to super-cloudy glasses, residue, and just not getting clean. Then I saw a product test review for Affresh in Good Housekeeping magazine. I was ordering some stuff from Amazon anyway, so I added that to my order. I did not expect the results I got! The glassware that I thought was permanently etched and ruined came out like new. Same with cutlery. The difference is unbelievable. I am amazed!" — Sheila Get a pack of six from Amazon for $8.98. 26. A jewelry cleaning solution to make your rings, necklaces, and earrings shine and sparkle like new again (seriously just look at the reviewer's transformation photo below). Nothing can ~tarnish~ your style now! Promising review:"ABSOLUTELY THE BEST JEWELRY CLEANER HANDS DOWN!!! I have a ton of jewelry — a diamond tennis bracelet, 14-karat rings and earrings, precious stones, pearls, and vermeil, too. I cleaned my expensive pieces, and they sparkled like they never have, the pearls' luster was so vibrant I was in awe. The one piece that sealed the deal is a Sleeping Beauty turquoise and diamond ring I have. The diamonds are okay quality, but after cleaning it, it shimmers and twinkles like it never has. Cleans vermeil beautifully, too!" — tammy Get it from Amazon for $6.95. 27. Heavy-duty cleaning wipes since they can be used on just about any dirty surface you can imagine: engine stains ✅ muddy, scuffed shoes ✅ random paint splatters ✅ kitchen countertop messes ✅ ... and the list goes on. Promising review:"I think these wipes are made out of magic because they can clean just about anything with very little effort! One wipe cleaned my ENTIRE BATHTUB, including the hard-water buildup and some residual soap scum. The wipe stayed wet for the entire use, and there was absolutely no sweating involved. I hate cleaning but I was so pumped about the tub, I took wipe #2 to my hood vent and, good golly, it's like it's brand-new. I've told everyone I know to buy these." — JenM Get 90 wipes from Amazon for $14.98. 28. A 20-pack of cleaning erasers that are just as ~magic~ as other brands, only way more affordable. With these, all you need to clear away tough stains and messes is water and a bit of elbow grease! Promising review:"These babies have transformed and reformed my slobby life. My dog sitter thought I got a new sink and fridge. I have never had more fun cleaning in my life — wait, I have never had any fun cleaning. But these magical creatures make it so freaking satisfying. No toxic stuff. No fumes. Just heavenly cleanliness." — Jimmy Jim Ereeno Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 29. A pack of all-natural bottle-cleaning tablets to give your water bottles and tumblers (which you drink out of!!) a thorough cleaning. And yes, this should help remove those horrible stains and strange odors. These are biodegradable and odor-free. Promising review:"I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another Hydro Flask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." — Amazon Customer

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 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $19.79. 2. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener (made with a *chef's kiss* mix of hydraulic acid and shea butter) which became a knockout success once reviewers started raving en mass about the product's instant invisible coverage. If you're looking for quick and easy results that suggest you don't even require come to the right brightener. The color adaptive formula is designed so one of two shades will work on any skin tone. Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." — Placeholder Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in two shades). 3. A Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner — 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 $12.69! 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 styles). 4. A bottle of Better Life all-natural tile and tub cleaner that'll banish soap scum, mold, mildew, rust, and hard-water stains from tired, worn-down tiles. Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. I came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." — Amber Erwin Get it from Amazon for $16.18 (also available in multipacks). 5. An unreasonably chic wireless handheld vacuum with adjustable nozzles to best clean varied surfaces like keyboards, desks, furniture, and even the car! I'm currently thinking of the cereal box worth of corn puffs my toddler has thrown around our might be time to get this in *my* life.

Helps with cleaning my daughter's desk since she's homeschooling, and it's easy to use if you have to clean drawers." — Manisha Roopnarine Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in five colors). 6. A soup can safe — this is so realistic it'll put you at ease if you have a stack of cash or valuables you want tucked away, safely hidden in your food storage. Promising review: "I was amazed how real this looks, even side by side with the real thing. Of course, when you turn it over, you can see the compartment, and you will have to add weight if you want it to feel real, but just sitting in the pantry, it looks real!" — Brenda Get it from Amazon for $7.19. 7. A Pet House candle (my personal favorite is the Fireside scent) for families with smelly children of all kinds. Fur, infant, you name it. These are powerful odor eliminators *without* an overpowering scent. And unlike many candles, they're safe for pets! They aren't just covering up odor, they cleanse it and add a cozy scent on top. Even if I didn't have pets, these would be my go-to candle. Seriously. I have been using Pet House candles for *years* and I'm still surprised by how well they work. I recently moved into a loft apartment that is just one big room. I've tried dozens, and most candles simply can't fill the space with their scent. Pet House candles are the only ones that have managed to fill my home with a fresh, cozy smell! I keep putting these candles to the test, as I now have two cats *and* a baby and still get compliments on how great my place smells. I'll use these forever. Promising review: "Purchased the citrus scent. It does a phenomenal job providing a clean and fresh scent. Stands up to high priced candles. Removes any noticeable odor and replaces it with a pleasant scent. We light it for a couple hours when needed and then the smell stays for a while. Highly recommend." — lblynn Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in several scents). 8. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller that'll pick up fur and lock it inside the roller so that cleanup is a breeze and 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). 9. A set of Wonder Hangers so you can stack outfits, categories, or even *colors* of clothes with a vertical system, using up closet space in the most efficient (and A-type-friendly) way possible. Amazon Each hanger can hold up to five garments. Wowza. Promising review:"I use these hangers for shirts and tees. They allow me to easily find any shirt in my closet and take up very little space compared to single shirts on single hangers. I can also group shirts together by style or color on a single swivel hanger. I am now able to hang additional items in my closet without crowding. I bought this in white and the edges are smooth." — CAGH Get a pack of 24 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in two colors). 10. A versatile veggie chopper that'll help you prep (and cleanup!) with speed that feels downright magical. The interchangeable blades just pop out, then just throw them right into the dishwasher! Promising review:"Makes life so much easier. I can't imagine chopping onions or bell peppers by hand anymore, and it does so much more. This requires very little effort to cut through the food and it has a generous container." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in five styles and four colors). 11. A safety razor designed to be displayed upright and within site thanks to its included stand (available in a bunch of colors to best match your bathroom!).

Promising review: "My daughter told me about this razor, saying that she has used this for years, so I went ahead and order one. That was the best decision ever. I will NEVER ever waste money buying razors again. You can keep this one forever. The razor is made with a good, strong material and it's pretty. It's easy to use, practical, easy to change the blades, and it will last you a long time. This is the last time you have to buy a razor. Do yourself a favor and buy this. You will save so much money it's crazy. Hope you love it as much as I do." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in 22 styles) 12. A pair of satin pillowcases for preventing bedhead and pillow creases on your face in the mornings *and* to help you slip into a silky smooth slumber every night thanks to their subtle cooling effect. Reviewers rave about these (seriously, they have over 200,000 5-star reviews!), saying they're an affordable alternative to ones that are typically $18 or more. Amazon Promising review:"My hair has never been better! I got this because of TikTok and it has done wonders for my hair. My hair isn't frizzy or dull-looking when I get up in the morning." — Aaron Key Get a set of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 39 colors and five sizes). 13. A Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to polish your toilet without you ever having to touch a dirty toilet brush. With each flush, the stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet. Promising review:"I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they'd work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They're super interesting but they do the job." — Janet Get six stamps from Amazon for $4.67. 14. A set of bedsheet clips for keeping your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. Get this and keep those laundry clods from wasting precious drying time! Amazon Wad-Free is a small biz that was launched during the pandemic. Cyndi, the founder, learned CAD (computer-aided design) to create the pads. And 5% of profits are donated to the American Brain Tumor Association. Promising review:"Wow!!! You wonder if things like this really work and well, I can absolutely confirm it does! First, I was impressed that the package came with two of the devices because I was only expecting one. So there was one for the fitted sheet, and the flat sheet. Finally, I tried it out and my sheets not only did NOT wad up, they came out of the dryer feeling fresher, feeling more dry, and unwrinkled! I will be buying a set of these for each of my immediate family members and close friends! What a great gift!!!" — katy Get a two-pack from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a four-pack). 15. 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 $5.49. 16. An inconspicuous jar opener with a grippy corner so you can press up against a cabinet and twist the jar open with ease, because you're not gonna let arthritis (or poor upper body strength) get in the way of your pasta sauce and pickles. Promising review:"I bought this last year and have used it many times on many different lids, even use it to open gallon milk jugs when those pesky plastic attachments just won't seem to give. I haven't found anything I try that it won't open for me. No more banging on the counter, just hold it under my cabinet and slid it in the V-shaped opening, give it a little twist to open, hardly any effort at all. It was easy to attach under the cabinet, I put mine so the wide opening faces forward. I personally think every house should have one of these." — Addie Get It from Amazon for $15.99. 17. A set of shelf dividers to make stacking your folded laundry a much neater process. Promising review:"I love these! I just have a shelf on top of my closet. I keep my leggings there. These dividers separate the leggings and make everything so much more organized. I'm buying more to do my linen closet! You need these!" — Lynn Blue Get a pair from Amazon for $17.99. 18. A storage bean bag so your kid can use their signature "shove the mess where people can't see it" technique and still make their room look, you know, *actually* clean. Promising review:"This has saved my sanity!! Our stuffed animals and blankets always ended up all over the basement. Thanks to this awesome chair, they are now all contained and they make for a super cozy reading nook under the stairs. The quality seems excellent. I expect it will last for many years! The stuffed chair is also cozy – double win!" — Emily Heilman Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in two sizes and eight styles). 19. A pack of two Downy fabric sprays — with this, you're *finally* gonna rid your caftans and pants of those stubborn crinkles and creases. Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Danielle Healy has to say: 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." Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99 (available in multiple pack styles). 20. A hanging garbage bag holder so you can easily dispose of your scraps without a trek to the trash can every single step of the recipe.

A wrapping paper storage bag designed to *also* hold ribbons, bows, and gift bags — all with pockets just their size! If you dream of having a gift-wrapping room but only have a gift-wrapping (corner of the) closet, this deliciously organized storing system was made with you in mind! Promising review: "Perfect! I have had a ton of wrapping paper, gift boxes, gift bags, tissue paper, and gift tags lying in a closet for years, and I didn't think I could possibly find something that would hold all of it. I was pleasantly surprised with how much this bag could hold; I was able to fit everything! It has two pockets to organize all my accessories and keep them separate from the wrapping paper. It even held all my wrapping paper with room for more, it also is great for small spaces since it doesn't take up much space and can lay flat." — Megan W. Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five colors). 22. A remote control holder so you can stay up to date on season two of Severance without the usual game of hide-and-seek you play with all your remotes. P.S.

Bless. Promising review: "I was tired of losing my remotes and searching for them every time I watch TV. This remote holder is amazing! I have it mounted by my bed on the wall.

A Denman Hair Brush designed with bristles specifically spaced to detangle and shape curls that may otherwise feel frazzled and look undefined.

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). 25. Some under-bed storage containers for storing blankets and out-of-season attire because heaven knows your closet can't fit a year's worth of your wardrobe. The only monster under the bed when you're an adult is unused storage space. Oof, scary. You can use these for so much more than clothing! Think craft supplies, extra toiletries, whatever you have too much of. Promising review:" These storage bags are fantastic. I live in a small apartment where storage space is at a premium. I use these to store my Costco toilet paper and paper towels, so I don't need to make as many trips to the store. It keeps them in pristine condition and out of sight. The handles make them easy to pull in and out, and they fold up nicely when not in use. I'm thinking about getting two more since four will fit under my queen bed." — Kimberly Dorn Get it from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in five styles). 26. An outlet shelf so you can keep your counters clear, because your kids splash so much water on the counter when washing their hands that everything within spitting distance ends up soggy (and, eek, moldy). Use this, and you can give your bathroom an ~elevated~ look while keeping things clean at the same time. Promising review:"I absolutely love this thing! I have much less clutter on my sink, thanks to this. If there's anyone not sure if it will fit due to an object, all you need is 1.25 inches of space between the edge of your existing outlet plate and the piece of furniture. I have a GFCI with a standard wall plate." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four colors and multi-packs). 27.

Imagine how simple pairing an outfit with a bag will be when they're all next to each other in the closet. Chic. Promising review:"I have recently gotten more and more purses and needed a way to organize them better, and this was a great solution. It is easy to take purses on and off, and they look cute in my closet, too. The hanger is very sturdy, and it is lightweight when empty. I like that I can see all my purses in one place, and the hanger will turn a little as well, so you can easily grab which one you want. It added great organization and better functionality to my closet." — Emma Stokes Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four colors and multipacks). 28. A pack of reusable label stickers for keeping your fridge organized and up-to-date after a new round of groceries changes the game. The best part? This isn't dry-erase, which would just smudge things up. Instead, it's made for a permanent marker and includes an eraser to wipe the label clean. Amazon P.S. You can also use rubbing alcohol if you'd rather not keep the eraser. Promising reviews:"Great, sticks well to our plastic containers, and they haven't come off in the dishwasher yet even on the bottom rack.

These are safe and spiffy to use while sleeping, during exercise, swimming, and even sex. You heard me right: And. Even. Sex. No leaks! Oh! Anddd, you can wear it for up to 12 HOURS!! Promising review:"So my period ended yesterday and I only used these Softdiscs the whole time. This was my first time trying anything besides tampons and pads. I love them, much better than tampons and I didn't leak a single time. I always leak on day one or two with tampons. The removal is a little messy so do it over a toilet or in the shower, but the more you do it the easier it gets, and you'll figure out how to make it less messy. I also had sex with it in, I know that's the question for most. My husband said it felt weird but he still had no issues with finishing. No leaks during sex because it's suctioned onto the cervix area. These are a must-buy. I'll never go back to tampons." — Tiffany " Comfortable, discrete, stays in place, and easy to remove. Much gentler and easier to use than any other cup I've used before. I can keep it in for a full 12-hour shift as a nurse and not leak. Have also used when intimate, and mess-free!" — Joel Ter Wee Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $13.31. 30.

Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use it for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, I have cleaned Sharpie off wood and walls and of course to stop squeaky doors. These small direct point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer and in the house tool box." — BBP623 Get a three-pack from Amazon for $12.99. 32. A car trash can sure to save the day (and your upholstery) from suckers, soda bottles, and all the other sticky substances your kids sneak into the car. It turns out cupholders are, in fact, not tiny trash cans. Amazon Promising review:"This is the most useful little item I have EVER placed in my car for litter management. It's easy to use, easy to empty, AND it doubles as a spare cup holder when needed. I've ordered more for our other cars. The kids have really improved their management of basic tidiness in the car with this in our family vehicle. My husband has managed to keep the passenger seat easy for me to join him in his car, and now our teens will enjoy an uncluttered life in the 'teen mobile.'" — DW Get it from Amazon for $5.99. 33.

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). 35.

No longer do I have to struggle to find somewhere to put my cover if I'm heating up a cup of coffee. Just attach it to the roof of your microwave. Hopefully, you have a flat surface; check before you buy. There is a slight learning curve as to where to put it or the force or lack thereof needed, but after a couple of times it's second nature. Love, love, love this product. I'm probably going to get some for Christmas presents next year, it's one of those items that you wouldn't necessarily buy for yourself but it will change your life." — Rachel Get it from Amazon for $24.94. 38.

Door-Doc is a small business specializing in home laundry solutions. Promising review:"I'd never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn't need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I'd hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it's a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!" — painter Jane Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in two colors). 39. And a magnetic laundry guard — use this and you just might save yourself from missing sock laundry drama from now on. Amazon Promising review:"Oh, how I love this laundry guard! I have very little counter space in my laundry room and this allows me to use all that space on top of the washer and dryer for folding clothes. No more fishing socks and underwear from behind the machines! I love it and so does everyone else that visits and sees it for the first time. The magnets hold it in place very well. There is not a lot of shifting unless I throw something large and heavy up there but it's an easy adjustment to get it back in place. Good quality, not flimsy at all. I highly recommend this product." — Christa Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in two colors). 40. A bag of citrusy Liquid I.V.

It dissolves in your water easily; I only used a straw to stir it up. It was not gritty, and after drinking a glass, I truly felt my headache vanish, which I felt coming on after a heavy workout! My husband uses them for hangover days when you just don't want to feel as if you are nearing death, LOL! Satisfied and definitely 5 stars. Great to have on hand." — Britt Get a pack of 16 from Amazon for $21.11. Reviews in this post have been edited for length and clarity.
