If You're ‘The One Who Loves To Clean', Check Out These 36 Products Monica Geller Would Totally Own
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. Not just clean — 'Monica' clean. 1. A watermark remover, because who in the world would want a bunch of rings on their gorgeous wooden furniture?! Certainly not Ms. Geller. This restorer rids surfaces of those annoying ringlets left from hot and cold beverages. (You can only remind your family to use coasters so many times!) Amazon Promising review:"Someone recommended this product to remove white water stains from a table. I was skeptical, but thought what have I got to lose as we had a large watermark staring at us from our dining room table... I followed the instructions and was completely blown away when the ugly watermark was completely removed! This product worked great and I'd happily recommend it." — Nick W. Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in eight wood finishes). 2. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area, this cleaner will give you professional-level results Pheobe would gawk at, and Monica would cheer about. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all. This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stain on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreatment before shampooing, and most often, the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say 'gone'…I mean, GONE! And that's with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I'd buy it again is such an understatement. I can't be without it!!" — Angela Raab Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three sizes and five scents). 3. A pack of duster sponges that'll rid the dust bunny that's been sitting behind the door since Ross's first wedding (don't worry, we listen and we don't judge). Picking up dust will be much quicker with this at home! BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer gives them a big thumbs up:"I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color combinations and in packs of two, four, and eight). 4. AND a lightweight SUPER long extendable duster so that you don't have to put your back into least not too much. It stretches over eight feet to clean your chandeliers, ceiling fans, and the dark 'n' spooky Upsidedown that is underneath your couch. Promising review:"This feather duster does a great job without a lot of effort. It easily cleans up dust with no need to use a scrubbing effort — a light touch works just fine." — bigdaddy Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 5. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the most horrifying stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. I would say it provides pro-level results, but we *all* know Monica has higher standards than that. The fact that this spray is powerful enough to remove red wine and spaghetti sauce from an all-white rug clearly means that these are Monica-level results! Promising review:"I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so I can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." — Alex Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in two sizes and various multipacks). 6. A Pikk-it tool to clear out any tangled hair that may have gotten caught in your vacuum while making your home to be spick and span. If you don't remove the hair, it'll eventually mess with your vac's functionality and suction powers — and we cannot have that! Cleaning your cleaning tools is also just a *very* Monica thing to do. You can also use it to detangle hair from the bristles of your hairbrush. Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." — MKS Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 7. A tub of the bestselling Pink Stuff that'll tackle those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. All you need to do is scrub and rinse to get things sparklin' again! It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls, so you'll no longer need 10 different cleaning solutions for every kind of problem. The Pink Stuff handles it all, and it doesn't get easier or more Monica-approved than a one-for-all kind of product! 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 $5.49. 8. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you — no expensive professionals needed. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while! These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time, as well as remove lime and mineral buildup. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:" I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle, and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." — Christine Doan Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.95. 9. A microfiber spin mop and bucket because it's top-rated with over 134,000 5-star reviews on Amazon! This baby spins to rinse the mop with one step (literally), no hands necessary. Reviewers call this mop game-changing, life-changing, and all-around ~essential~ for household cleaning. And yes, that includes bathrooms! Promising review:"I never thought a mop could change my life! This mop cuts at least half an hour off my cleaning time, and since I can wring it out so well, it does a fabulous job on my hardwood floors without worrying about puddles of water, which could do damage! The triangular design is great for corners, too! I also like how I can toss the head in the washing machine to clean it. I would highly recommend this mop!" — kheiser67 Get it from Amazon for $34.99. 10. Or washable microfiber mop pads you can use with your Swiffer WetJet (or anything similar) if you don't need another mop, but are tired of spending tons of money on disposable mop pads. This pad can fit any 10' to 12' microfiber mop, can last up to 100 washes, and works on pretty much any surface, from wood to tile to stone. Turbo Mops is a small business! Promising review:" Oh. My. Word. These are life-changing. I used a Rubbermaid spray mop for years that I never really loved, and when it broke, I got a Swiffer and was using the old Rubbermaid mop cloth pads with it still. They didn't fit the Swiffer great, and I decided to get new ones. These scrub so much better and pick up way more dirt than my other mop pad. I have two dogs and their dried water and drool is around the kitchen, and I used to have to scrub to get that up each time. Not with these pads! I never thought I'd swoon over a cleaning product we are :)." — JB Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.99 (available in multi-packs). 11. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces — an absolute must for Apartment 20. To get incredible results like the reviewer's door below, all you have to do is wet and swipe. Reviewers call these under-$15 sponges "magic" for a reason. All you gotta do is wet and swipe! Promising review: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals, and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. They work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" — Keisha Marie Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 12. A Bissell Little Green Multi-Purpose Cleaner that provides results so good, you'll be left with a jaw drop like Kevin McCallister himself. This bestselling portable carpet and upholstery cleaning machine is *super* convenient and very easy to use! It works for dirt, pet stains, and baby stains, and because it's compact, you can use it to clean your car, too. Promising reviews: "This has saved me so many times. I use it mostly for my carpet and the couch. I have a cat and dog with an almost white couch, so this has been SUPER helpful. It has yet to fail me." — Amazon Customer "This little guy has been working pretty well for me so far. Raising my puppy from 8 weeks, I've had my share of things to try and get out of the carpet, from pee stains to puke to things he would knock over, to the mud he would track in. This would get most of it out if I used it right away. I am happy with the way it takes out most stains." — Cece Get it from Amazon for $99.99. BTW, this tool comes with small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $9.99! 13. A stainless steel polishing spray because, to quote Monica Geller herself, "If I am harsh with you, it is only because you're doing it wrong," — and if you aren't already using this to clean your stainless-steel appliances, you've been cleaning 'em ALL wrong. This spray will have your fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and even your grill sparkling and looking as good as new. It even comes with a microfiber cloth! Promising review:"In my experience, cleaning products usually need to be pretty strong chemicals that require care when applying. When faced with options, I usually buy the chemical with the most skull and crossbones, warning labels, and danger symbols I can find. I figure the more volatile and poisonous the chemical, the better it will work! So I was skeptical about this product when it was billed as a plant-based chemical on the other end of the toxicity spectrum. I decided to try it because of the many positive reviews. I'm glad I did. It works great! I wouldn't use it as a mouthwash, but it certainly isn't as harsh as other cleaners I've used." — Joe Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in two sizes). 14. A microfiber window blind cleaner so there'll be no more dust flying your way every time you open and close the blinds to get a peek at Ugly Naked Guy across the way. With three blades that clean two blinds at once, it makes things SO much easier and faster. This set includes five microfiber duster sleeves you can wash and reuse as well as a tiered plastic base. Promising review: "OK, I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option, but WOW does this little tool rock!!!! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets ALL of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. VERY happy with purchase." — Amazon Shopper Get the six-piece set from Amazon for $6.99 (available in two handle colors). 15. A Dyson V15 stick vacuum because it truly does it all. It can detach from the body to help you hit all those nooks and crannies, cordless! This gem features two advanced cleaning heads (one of which has ~detangling~ technology for all the hair that may get caught), as well as a built-in laser to help you detect every speck of dust. Promising reviews:"Best vacuum ever. I have had this vacuum for two weeks, and I have to say it has far exceeded my expectations of what a handheld vacuum can clean. My old Dyson stick vacuum lasted 18 years, so I understood you get what you pay for in a vacuum. The new vacuum is so much better than the one it replaced because it picks up so much more pet fur. One review I read said the lady replaced her large push-around vacuum with this stick vacuum because the stick vacuum was all she now needed. I did not believe her, but I can now say she is 100% correct. The LED light on the hardwood floor attachment is a great addition, as you can see what needs to be vacuumed or if you miss a spot. If you are on the fence about buying this vacuum, just do it, you will not regret it." — BigE "I bought my V15 Detect almost a month ago, and I find myself vacuuming every other day or so. Im obsessed! This thing is worth every penny! The sucking power is amazing! I have a pretty old carpet, and after vacuuming, it looks pretty decent. If you're torn on the cost, don't and just buy this thing. Oh! And the wood / laminate flooring attachment is pretty cool. The green light really does make the dirt, dog hair, and whatever else expose themselves. My only concern is the fact that a vacuum makes me happy." — KCMO Get it from Dyson, Wayfair, or Amazon for $749.99 (available in two styles). This is definitely a splurge, so if you're looking for something a bit more affordable, check out this cordless vacuum with similar features. 16. But if you already have a vacuum you adore (you're SO Monica-coded 🤭), an attachable vacuum LED lamp that fits most upright, stick, and canister vacuum cleaners, including faves like Shark, Bissel, *and* Dyson. With this, no dust, dirt, or pet hair goes unseen or uncleaned! Promising review: " Adding this to my vacuum has really changed how easy it is to see what you are vacuuming. This will help you not to miss any dirt and not vacuum up anything that shouldn't go into your vacuum. It is extremely easy to install. I definitely recommend adding this to your vacuum, you will be amazed." — Karen Carnes Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in battery-powered and rechargeable versions). 17. A reviewer-beloved, touchless stationary vacuum because it takes away the need to haul a heavy vacuum around the house. With this, just your broom will suffice for a great (and did I mention easy?) clean! If you live with a Rachel-type, then this is basically a household essential. EyeVac is a small biz that specializes in stationary vacuums to make home cleaning easier. Promising review:"This thing is great. 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 sweep 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). 18. Glisten disposer cleaner to get rid of the nasty grunge and odor-causing buildup from every part of your garbage disposal — blades and walls included! It's less work for you, and I've gotta admit, the foaming effect is pretty satisfying to watch, too. Promising review:"This product is amazing. Every time I ran the dishwasher, there was this horrible smell. So much that you could smell it throughout the apartment. I even started just hand-washing my dishes. But after about a week, the smell came back. I bought so many products to try and eliminate the smell, but after a couple of days, it would come back. Then I saw this product on BuzzFeed and thought to myself, why not? The first time I used it, I cleaned it out pretty well. Better than the other products. But then I used it a second time, and there was no smell. I'm going on two weeks of using my dishwasher, and I can't smell anything. I highly recommend this if you're having the same problem I was. This is by far the best kitchen cleaning product I've ever purchased." — khrystyne torres Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.56 (available in multipacks). 19. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray that can kill the mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about terrifyingly good results. Promising review:"I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get a 32-oz bottle on Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes). 20. A cooktop-cleaning kit — she is a chef after all! This will get your electric stovetop looking like new again... because FYI, it doesn't have to look like it's barely survived a food fight and a stain vs. rust war that's been going on for years. It comes with everything you need, including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool. Promising review:"Works amazing! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi cleaners which never seemed to do much. Then a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." — B. Swartwood Get a pack of four from Amazon for $14.48. 21. A professional-strength grout cleaner so you can remove years and years worth of gross grime from your floors, countertops, and even shower tile. Did you forget that white grout existed in your home? Trust me, it's still there. Promising review:"I did a lot of research on grout cleaners. I recently purchased a home, and the grout is SO dirty. You wouldn't even know it was white. I was between this product and another with similar ratings. I decided to go with this product and do not regret it at all. You definitely need gloves, a well-ventilated area, and a stiff scrub brush. It doesn't require a lot of scrubbing if you have a good brush. Leaving it on the longer end of 5–10 minutes is better. I'm SO impressed." — Lynn Santos Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (also available with a grout brush). 22. A vacuum hose attachment made specifically to clean your dryer vent. Even if you clean it yourself fairly often, you'd be surprised at how much this suction will pick up. And FYI, keeping the vent clear decreases the risk of dryer fires! Promising review:"These are great, especially for front-load front loader started smelling. Even after draining the water line at the bottom of the washer and wiping the seals and tub with bleach, the washer still smelled musty. I tried one of the Afresh tabs the last time I cleaned the washer. I did the same water line drain, cleaning the water filter, wiping the seal and all behind the seal as much as I could get with bleach, then I put the Afresh tab in and put the washer on self-clean. After the self-clean was finished, I took a dry cleaning towel and wiped out the residue in the wash tub. The smell was gone! I now use these once a month, and we have not had any issues with odor." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $11.59+ (available in three colors). 23. And while you're there, a washing machine cleaning tablet to remove build-up and odor-causing grime from the constant use. After using this, that weird smell on your freshly cleaned clothes will no longer be a worry. These are safe to use with front-load washing machines and top-load washing machines, and both high-efficiency and conventional machines. Recommended to use once a month! Promising review:"We have a top-loading washer that was super smelly. I questioned this product's efficiency, so I only bought the six-pack. It is amazing and does what it says! Once the clean cycle is over, you'll want to wipe out the rusty, dirty residue that is left on the inside of the more smell!" — Valerie H Get a pack of six from Amazon for $11.95. 24. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away. Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D. Get it from Amazon for $9.19+ (also available in packs of two). 25. A reviewer-beloved 2-in-1 mop and vacuum robot you can let loose in your home to ensure every crevice of your home is cleaned and free of dust, dander, and the occasional spill. You'll get to *actually* be "on a break" if you let this run for a few hours every day, since it'll cut down tons of cleaning time for you later! Promising review:"Great vacuum and saves me time! Works great and my husband loves that you can control it with the remote! It has no issues getting under our sofas and does the carpet transitions well. I recommend this, especially at the low prices they are selling them at!" — Janell Get it from Amazon for $129.99 (available in black and gray). 26. An oven scrub cleaner because it's 100% natural and 100% tough on the stains that have been there for a little too long. No shame, but it's *definitely* time for a deep clean! Everneat / Etsy This oven scrub is made out of 100% plant and mineral-derived ingredients. To clean your oven, apply the scrub over the oven surface including the interior glass, scrub with a metallic or scouring sponge, then use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe the surface. Everneat is a small business based in Fairfield, Connecticut that specializes in natural cleaning products and microfiber cloths. Promising review:"This is the first time in my 50+ years that I have actually enjoyed cleaning my oven. And no, I am not joking! This product is effective, easy to work with, smells amazing, AND I only used a tiny amount of product!!! I don't think I could imagine a way to improve this product. Highly, highly recommend it!!! Well worth any wait." — Diane Coury Get it from Everneat on Etsy for $20 (available in three scents) or from Amazon for $25.99 (available with a sponge and in three styles). 27. A shower door cleaner sure to rid those hard water stains and get your glass doors back to their original clean and clear state. Remember when you could see out the shower door? Yeah, get ready for that again. 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, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." — EJP Get it from Amazon for $11.65. 28. And an all-purpose squeegee to maintain the shine! This works great for bathroom mirrors and windows, too. It comes in all the finishes that would match any of your current hardware, it's waterproof, *and* comes with a suction hook so you can hang it in your shower. Promising review: " I bought this squeegee to replace our old plastic one that was old and warped. I love that this one is much wider than our previous squeegee so it takes less time to clean our glass-enclosed shower. It also has a really nice weight to it. It feels sturdy in your hand and the weight helps to pull it down to the bottom of the glass wall/door. The hanger feels secure and I love having it out of the way (our previous one sat on the shower bench). Happy so far." — shellyrae1 Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors). 29. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner that'll make it waaay easier to clean your microwave — and if you use this appliance as much as the gang goes to Central Perk, I have no doubt it needs a good clean right about now. Simply add in water and vinegar, then put it in the microwave for five to eight minutes. When it's done, just wipe clean! Promising review:"I would give this product more stars if I could. I am a busy mom and my microwave often gets pushed to the end of my never ending to do list. So much so that I would have been too embarrassed to show anyone how gross it had gotten. I finally ordered this with the hope that it would at least help make the job a little bit easier. I was AMAZED! Seriously, the hardest part of the entire experience was trying to get the little mama's head off to fill it and that only took a minute to figure out. I followed the directions carefully and then used a sponge to wipe off the grease and food bits. My microwave looks brand-new. I will probably use a microfiber cloth next time though because the sponge pushed the mess around and wasn't needed to scrub at all... If you dread cleaning your microwave order this, I'm telling you it really does work wonders!" — MJ Get it from Amazon for $8.98 (available in four colors). 31. An oil stain remover that can change a stained surface in just 72 hours 🤯. All you need to do is stir the cleaner, apply it to the stain, and wait! When you've got friends like Joey and Chandler, who are probably the messiest cooks and will undoubtedly place their oily food and hands everywhere, this is definitely a must. Love 'em, but no thank you to those kinds of stains! Amazon Recommended for use on marble, granite, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, grout for ceramic and porcelain tile, masonry, and concrete! Promising review:"I am so happy. This stuff removed a deep oil stain from my marble when nothing else would work. Pure whitest white with gold veined Aspen-Lincoln marble had a huge, deep oil/ lotion ring from the bottom of a counter mirror. Made me and my wife sick to our stomachs seeing it on the 3-month-old $7,500 slab in our bathroom. Tried baking powder poultices with dish soap, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and acetone — nothing touched it. Placed this Laticrete product on for about 80 hours and was patient. This solvent penetrates the entire slab. Amazing results! Oil ring was totally gone. Had to be patient following for the solvent to totally evaporate and the marble to lighten up again….. and it did. Can't recommend this product highly enough!... This one came through when it was really needed👍" — John Lessard Get it from Amazon for $23.80. 32. A toilet bowl ring remover, a lightly abrasive pumice stone that effectively cleans the porcelain throne — no harsh chemicals needed and no damage done. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done. Promising review:"I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. Tried it this morning and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring, and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $11.19. 33. AND a bacteria- and virus-killing Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit complete with refill heads so your clean toilet can ~easily~ continue on. Simply pop on of the sponge heads to the end of the stick, give your bowl a nice scrub, and release the used sponge into the trash. Your porcelain throne is now fresh and clean. ✨ The kit comes with a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy. The wand has a convenient button you can use to dispose of the used sponge heads in the trash, and the heads are uniquely shaped to fit under the rim of your toilet. Promising review:"So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" — Whitney Get it from Amazon for $11.98 (also available in two bundle sets). 34. Some Bar Keepers Friend Cleanser, a nonabrasive, bleach-free miracle-working rust remover that'll have your sinks, showers, toilets, and even pots and pans looking brand spankin' new. The rust you thought was invincible has finally met its match! The cleanser is effective on stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper alloys, fiberglass, Corian, brass, bronze, chrome, and aluminum surfaces. Simply wet the surface to be cleaned, sprinkle a small amount of cleanser on the surface, and gently rub it with a wet cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly within one minute of application and wipe it dry! Promising review:"My stainless steel dishwasher constantly has streaks. I tried vinegar and vegetable oil and any and all home remedies. Just bought the Bar Keepers Friend and was totally amazed: It looks like new again. No streaks." — Lacinda Campbell Get it from Amazon for $8.80 (also available in multipacks). 35. A set of drill brushes for those who are finally ready to clean out all of the grout in tiles, stoves, countertops, grills, and even gutters. Attach it to your drill and be prepared to have your eyes pop out like a Looney Tune once you see the results! OK, so the drill is NOT included. This is just a set of three brushes that attach to your drill, or check out this one you might wanna buy. Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work, but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass; that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." — Mary in Nebraska Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors). 36. A pair of washable mop slippers, because if there's one thing our favorite Friends character loves, it's cleaning, and I have no doubt she'd want to do it just by walking around the apartment. The microfiber bottoms will clean up the dirt, dust, and hair you may have missed earlier, and these slippers are cozy, too. To wash the mop part of the shoe, simply detach the bottom half and toss it in the washing machine! Promising review:"Such a cute and functional house slipper! I love this so much. It feels a lot like hotel slippers but less flimsy because of the mop part. You will not feel like you're wearing a mop when wearing these. I have hardwood floors, so I vacuum a lot and rarely mop. These work so well in getting the dirt off the floor just by walking around doing your daily thing. I just throw the whole thing in the wash when it gets dirty!" — passionfrootgreentea Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in four sizes and 15 colors).

50 Products That Provide Legit Results (And Have The Photos To Prove It)
1. A tub of brightening, firming, and rejuvenating LilyAna's eye cream that'll halt all annoying comments about how tired you look. The rose hip and hibiscus-infused eye cream helps reduce dark circles and puffiness, leaving your eyes to look bright and wide (or alert and awake). Promising review:"I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had pre-cancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely. I shop constantly from Amazon. This is the first time that I have taken the time to write a review. That's how impressed I am with this product. If you decide to purchase this, you won't be sorry." — Lynda M. 2. Sunny & Honey Carpet Miracle cleaner for those stains you never thought would come out. Whether it's food, wine, or just a high-traffic area — this cleaner will give you professional-level results. Simply add this natural cleaner to water and pour the solution into you're carpet cleaner's tank. From Bissel to Hoover, it's compatible with them all. This carpet cleaner is from a family-run small business that specializes in cleaning products, especially ones for homes with pets! Promising review: "I cannot believe how incredible this carpet cleaner is!! I have four dogs, five kids, and a large home with very light carpet. This carpet cleaner literally is magic. It has gotten out red wine, coffee, raspberry stains on white carpet, old urine stains that were found WAY after the fact, and the list goes on and on. I use it in a spray bottle as a pretreatment before shampooing, and most often, the stain is completely gone before I even shampoo it. When I say 'gone'…I mean, GONE! And that's with no scrubbing. It disappears like magic! To say that I'd buy it again is such an understatement. I can't be without it!!" — Angela Raab Get it from Amazon for $19.99. 3. A compact 4-in-1 suede and leather brush that'll get rid of those annoying scuffs and salt lines on your shoes, bags, and coats. No, you don't need to throw out and replace your favorite things with this thing at home! This 4-in-1 brush features rubber bristles to gently and effectively remove dirt, a thin welt brush for narrow crevices, a rounded welt brush, and a nylon/metal bristled brush for maximum strength on those extra tough stains. Promising reviews:"This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots [Uggs pictured above]. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even the ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." — TRW " This brush saved my shoes! I posted before and after photos so you can see the difference. My shoes were light pink with big noticeable stains on the sides. I just brushed it in the same direction until the stains wore off." — Lissette Castillo Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four styles). 4. An antifungal tea tree balm to help treat things like athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, or even just dry skin. Essentially, if you've got an itchy skin condition, this is something you *need* in your bathroom cabinet. This wonder balm truly is wonder ful! Read more about tea tree oil and how it can help with athlete's foot from Mayo Clinic and jock itch from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I cannot believe the difference this product has made. I've seen a dermatologist for a rash on my armpits for over a year now with no answers, no solutions, nothing. They've prescribed me topical creams, steroids, and antibiotics. I've even had two biopsies with no relief. I finally came across this stuff. The first day I used this I had relief. My symptoms were a red, EXTREMELY itchy rash in both armpits. I'm talking itchy, like to the point where I could not sleep at night. It was awful. The next day I could feel and see that it helped. I was still unsure if it would actually do anything to resolve the problem entirely, but I decided I'd do an experiment and continue to use it on one armpit only so I could test the difference. The relief was unbelievable. It has been awful to not put it on my other armpit as well, but I wanted to hold out until I got the stitches out so I could show the doctor the difference. If you have a weird rash that you can't seem to find relief from, I would recommend giving this a shot. I'm so glad I did." — Jackie Get it from Amazon for $36.32. 5. And Truremedy Naturals Remedy Tea Tree Oil body wash that's stacked with effective ingredients like aloe, mint, and (of course) tea tree to help with those common skin irritations and rashes you haven't been able to escape since using the wrong laundry detergent one time. Reviewers say that it smells great too, thanks to the coconut, olive, and jojoba oils! Learn more about the many uses of tea tree oil at Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews:"I usually use Dr. Bronner's, but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using. Love the fresh smell. Also helped an eczema breakout." — KJeanine ATL "This is my favorite body wash ever! I was dealing with some serious postpartum BO, and this saved me! Results from first use!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99. 6. A mint-flavored teeth-whitening pen because it's easier, cheaper, and way less annoying than the strips you have to leave on for 30+ minutes *cough* Crest Whitestrips *cough*. With this pen, all you need to do is twist out the whitening gel, brush it along your top and bottom row of teeth, and you're done. Promising review:"I have extremely sensitive teeth from over-whitening in high school, but this product has been such a lifesaver! I am a daily black coffee and red wine [drinker], so my teeth have taken a toll as far as staining goes. Seriously, I was very hesitant about getting this because of how sensitive my teeth are, but I wish I got it sooner! This is such a great product!" — Mimi Doherty Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (also available in packs of two or four). 7. A jar of the bestselling Pink Stuff (and their latest Squeezy cleaning sponge!) for those hard-to-get stains, dirt, and rust spots around the house. It works for everything from bathtubs and stovetops to tennis shoes and crayon-covered walls. 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, knows, etc. 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 (available in two sizes) 8. Plus The Miracle Multi-Purpose Cleaner from the same brand! This cleaning gem *literally* has parents (of pets and humans) in awe of how powerful and versatile this spray's cleaning is. It will tackle the grease and oil stains on the kitchen counter, dirty paw prints on the windows, and grime on your shower wall. Talk about multi-purpose. Promising reviews:"The best cleaning product I own now. Removed soap scum, gunk, and hard water stains. A much less offensive smell than Clorox cleaners and honestly does a MUCH better job. I will be buying more products from this brand asap." — J. Rabalais "This product is my go-to for cleaning my kitchen, bathroom, kids' toys; you name it! My hubby and I have five kids at home, and you can imagine how icky our kitchen table gets between meals. This spray cleaner works great, is a much safer alternative to use around our toddler, and smells great! I've used quite a few of this brand's other products and they're all keepers so far. Definitely a fan!" — Julie Auler Get it from Amazon for $4.86+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 9. Stila's One-Step color-correcting facial serum that ingeniously blends vitamins, minerals, and color theory to help even your skin tone. All three work together to help reduce redness (that's the green), reduce dark purple under-eye circles (that's peach!), and give your skin an energized glow (that's lavender!). The reviewer above used this facial serum to cover up a bad sunburn! Promising review:"I think this is a wonderful product and I highly recommend it to anyone who fights facial redness. I sometimes wear it alone, but under cream foundation and light powder it works even better. I was totally amazed at how much it evened out my skin tone! And honestly I didn't think it could be done." — Chris Get it from Amazon for $36 (available in three shades). 10. A pack of light-dimming LED covers for those distracting bright and flashy lights on all of the electronics in your home. They work on everything from cable boxes to alarm clocks. You'll have a much better night's sleep and be able to focus on work without looking at that annoying light from the corner of your eye. LightDims is a small biz based in Las Vegas. Promising review:"I've been looking for something like this forever. I have a hard time falling and staying asleep when there is any bit of light in my bedroom. Especially the lights on phone chargers and my fan. Stumbled across these in a BuzzFeed article and figured, what the heck. They came quickly, and I immediately put them to use. As the instructions state, you do have to use more than one depending on how much light you want to dim. I am not disappointed. Would highly recommend and will buy again." — Kindle Customer Get them from Amazon for $1.49. 11. Cult-favorite Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream, a scrumptiously hydrating body cream that also provides temporary skin tightening thanks to its caffeine-infused formula. Plus, reviewers say that the salted caramel and vanilla scent smells DIVINE. 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: "I am 60 and I could not get rid of the cellulite on my legs. I started using this product six weeks ago and can noticeably see a difference. I apply morning and evening, before bed for optimal results. It goes on smooth and has a creamy, non-sticky feel. The smell is dreamy, and even my husband has commented on the improvement. Make sure you apply in a circular motion for optimal coverage, absorption and circulation." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in three sizes). 12. A super-soft Makeup Eraser to wipe off your makeup using *only* water! (Yes, you read that right.) The gentle fabric also has a microfiber blend specifically designed to clear gunk from your pores. If that's not brag-worthy magic, I don't know what is. It's got two sides — one that can wipe off all your makeup with water and light scrubbing, and another that exfoliates your skin. Plus, all you have to do when you're done using it is wet it and hang it up to dry! No more wasting money on icky washcloths that hurt your skin!!! I can hear your pores singing from here. Promising reviews:"Soft and easy to use. Been using this product for years, and hasn't failed me. Bought another for a friend to save them money from buying makeup wipes. Great on sensitive skin!" — Liz "This did exactly what it claims to do. I use some warm water on a little part, and my whole makeup comes off, even mascara! I used to always buy makeup wipes, and this has saved me so much money. I just throw it in with the laundry, and it's perfect. I've been using it for over six months now, and it hasn't failed me at all; it's worth the money!!" — Sharmin Rahman Get it from Amazon for $20 (available in 17 colors). 13. A rust-removing spray, aka a cleaning magician that'll turn your showers, sinks, and any other rust-filled surfaces into the clean slate they once were. Just spray it on the rusted area, leave the room while it works its scary good magic, and return to diminished stains you can easily wipe away. Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just spray, walk away for a few minutes, and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D. Get it from Amazon for $11.14. 14. A fabric defuzzer to remove all those unwanted fuzzies, lint, and pilling from furniture and clothing. To use this easy tool, simply glide it over the area you want to fix! This gadget is battery-operated and requires two AA batteries, which you can grab here! Promising review:"This fabric shaver is fantastic. I got tired of my fleece hoodie developing fuzz balls under the sleeves, near the pockets, and around other 'rub' spots. I bought another highly rated one on Amazon, but it failed to work after just three hoodies...I got this one, and the results have been consistently impressive. to cut fuzzies even after about a month of use. Waaaaay better than the first one. It's easy to use, easy to empty, and it's easy on my wallet. I would highly recommend it." — Dennis Honse 15. A makeup brush cleansing shampoo that'll clean the sponges that touch your face every day! I shudder at the thought of these going unclean for months, but this shampoo will cleanse your brushes and blending sponges so easily, the long timespans of dirty makeup tools will be long gone. It can extend the life of your applicators *and* save you from irritated skin. Promising review:" Best, most affordable brush and sponge shampoo on the market! No joke, I have tried everything, even homemade hacks like dish detergent mixed with olive oil. Nothing works like this brush shampoo. Don't waste your money on the Beauty Blender soap and other big-name brands." — Lily Get it from Amazon for $6.96 (available in two sizes). 16. I Dew Care's dry shampoo powder because it's a non-aerosol, travel-friendly dry shampoo that'll give you the illusion of clean, ungreasy hair in a matter of seconds. Keep this in your bag for when you're in need of a luscious locks pick-me-up. Promising review: "I am so glad I gave this product a try, as it works amazingly well on my fine, oily hair. I have used just about every dry shampoo product on the market, and this is by far the best one yet. My hair looks beautiful, and I can now go nearly a week without washing (while still having absolutely gorgeous hair)! I used to have to wash my hair every other day when I was using my former favorite dry shampoo (and it made my scalp itch on day two). This product is definitely worth a try; it may soon be your favorite!" — Melanie Havert Get it from Amazon for $13.50+ (available in six shades, including transparent!). 17. A hairbrush cleaning tool perfectly designed to get every piece of dander, hair, and terrifying buildup out of those bristles. Do you see that difference!? *Immediately adds to cart* The pointed end of the tool is ideal for picking out tangles, the stiff bristles work great at removing dust and dirt, and the bristles at the bottom end of the tool can give your hairbrush a deep clean. Promising review:"When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why; it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." — HeartsofHavoc Get it from Amazon for $11.95. 18. A bottle of Tend Skin Solution to help treat *and* prevent painful razor bumps, ingrown hairs, and razor burn. The annoying worry about irritating sensitive areas is about to go POOF! Rubbing alcohol-based products (like Tend Skin) can help prevent an infection of an ingrown, but can't prevent an ingrown itself, according to Cleveland Clinic. Promising reviews: "I have never had a product work better. Shaving 'down there' has given me many in-grown hairs over [the] years. As soon as you feel a bump starting, put this on once, and you will never have to worry again!" — Amazon Customer "Until I started using Tend Skin, I had been a 60-year victim of razor bumps, burns, and ingrown hair. After using the product for a week bumps, burns, and ingrown hairs disappeared from my face. A fabulous product, I just ordered my third bottle." — Jon Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes). 19. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for deep cleaning the thing that washes your bowls, utensils, and cookware (among other things) for you. A single tablet will deep clean the dishwasher's tub, pump, valve, and internal hoses by eliminating limescale, mineral buildup, and odor-causing residue. Trust me, it needs it every once in a while! These tablets are designed to penetrate, dissolve, and remove odor-causing residue that accumulates inside your dishwasher over time. Using Affresh tablets once a month can prolong the life of your dishwasher and make it more effective at doing its job: cleaning your dishes. Promising review:" I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty I just threw one of these packets in there and ran a normal cycle, and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean without any leftover residue." — Christine Doan Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99. 20. A fungal nail renewal treatment to help with brittle, thick, or discolored toenails that you've been side-eyeing for way too long. Reviewers have seen the appearance of their nails improve in as little as two days — so get on it *now*! Promising review:"I've been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I've been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know the ones with the brush. It never worked 'til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It's pretty much gone, and it's been less than two months. Buy it and don't think about it! You won't regret it!" — itslilac Get it from Amazon for $16.97. 21. Burt's Bees sunburn soother made with aloe and coconut oil that hydrates skin and gently relieves the pain of our mistakes. Because as much as we try to remember, sometimes we forget to put on or reapply our sunscreen! Should we have to suffer with tender, sunburnt skin? Absolutely not. Psst — a lot of reviewers mentioned this also helped prevent peeling and itching! Promising review: "I've been using this product for years now. My first trip to Costa Rica, I had it, and trust me when I tell you, it's saved my life. I live in Florida now and I never go anywhere without it. After any time in the sun, you can use this, and you can believe that your skin will be nourished and moisturized. It will not hurt, and your skin will not peel if used properly. I said your skin will not peel. I love this product for it." — Kenneth Get it from Amazon for $10. 22. Mielle rosemary-mint hair-strengthening oil, a constant sell-out after going viral on TikTok! It's a biotin-infused hair-strengthening oil that helps smooth split ends, moisturize dry scalps, and deeply nourish 3A–4C hair. In other need to try it ASAP! Read more about how biotin could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "I will be buying this product forever and ever. I rarely get obsessed with a beauty/hair product, but this one really takes the cake. After having a pretty stressful 2022, I started to experience a lot of shedding. I naturally have a lot of thick hair, so I'm used to some natural shedding, but this was another level. I also experience buildup on my scalp, especially in the winter months. Within one bottle of using this, I noticed a HUGE difference. Not just from the way my hair felt but also because the buildup and dry spots on my scalp were no longer present. This also doesn't make my hair feel greasy or heavy, which some products can do!" — BMDS416 Get it from Amazon for $9.97. 23. OR a sulfate-free biotin shampoo that'll moisturize your scalp and help promote hair growth! Maybe it's magic, or maybe it's ingredients like biotin, keratin, and zinc that are known to work wonders for hair. As Chandler Bing would say: do you SEE that before and after!? Reviewers with all types of hair (from fine 1a to long 3c and 4c hair) say this shampoo works wonders. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. Promising review:"I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery, and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo, as recommended by my doctor. It doesn't make your hair grow by washing it, but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After I used the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on), and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I don't love the way it smells, but others love it when they smell my hair." — Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $13.95 (available in four sizes and three scents). 24. A toilet bowl ring remover, a lightly abrasive pumice stone that effectively cleans the porcelain throne — no harsh chemicals needed and no damage done. This is a quick, easy, and cheap (!!) way to get the dirty chore done. Promising review:"I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first-floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. I tried it this morning, and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring, and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." — Courtney Get it from Amazon for $9.90. 25. A bottle of Folex spot remover that'll make even the toughest of stains disappear from furniture, carpets, and other fabric surfaces. (And yes, that includes red wine stains, don't worry.) Promising review:"I bought this after reading one of those BuzzFeed lists of like '27 products reviewers swear by' or whatever. The reviews and before/after pics had me curious but still skeptical. I used it a few times on random stains around the house and it really does just make them disappear instantly! But all of those were new stains that hadn't set yet. I finally decided to try it on my car seats that have been stained for years, and I'm amazed at the difference! You can still see some remnants of the stains, but that's my fault for not having enough dry towels. If you follow the directions on the bottle, you will not be disappointed!" — LMK32294 Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes and in several pack options). 26. A jade roller and gua sha set because it's a simple, easy-to-use beauty tool to add to your routine. The muscle-relaxing, fine line-reducing rose quartz is something that you can use while watching TV, reading, or after your nighttime routine. This particular set from Baimei comes with both a jade roller and a gua sha. When used correctly, both are great for depuffing your face and having a soothing at-home facial massage. Many reviewers suggest throwing it in the fridge 10 minutes before you plan to use it for an extra refreshing and relaxing effect! Promising reviews:"The roller is nice quality, it feels sturdy, and it doesn't squeak when you use it. I enjoy the smaller roller end for my eye area. It does help moisturizers and serums spread on better and soak in faster. The gua sha tool is also great. I can tell it's good quality and won't snap in half. I have been using it on the knots in my neck actually, giving myself a massage and putting pressure on the knots." — Laura "Helps with oilier serums and feels amazing if you have sinus pressure!" — JSides Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three stones). And to learn the history, helpful tips, and see video demonstrations on how to use the gua sha stone, check out BuzzFeed's Gua Sha History and Overview for details. 27. A liquid tartar remover which is basically just mouthwash for dogs. It's especially great for dogs who won't let a toothbrush near them. Simply add a bit to their water bowl and replenish when needed! Promising review:"I have four dogs. My biggest dog has the worst bad breath. I've tried treats and other things, but nothing else has worked. Looking at alternatives, I came across dog mouthwash. The idea of drinking mouthwash is weird, but be my guest to teach your dog to swish and spit out. I've also bought Nylabone toys for my dogs and know they make great products. I've been using this mouthwash for all four of the dogs, and I have to say there has been quite an improvement in their breath and tarter buildup on their teeth. I put two capfuls in about 32 ounces of water, and the dogs gulp it down; they seem to enjoy the taste as well. So about two months in, I have a little less than a 1/2 bottle to go, and the dogs' breath is much better, especially my big dog." — DH Get it from Amazon for $10.59 (available in three sizes, three textures, and for dogs or dogs/cats). 28. A pair of stainless steel tongue scrapers that'll literally scrape the bad breath at least help get rid of it. This will leave your tongue looking and feeling fresh so no wincing comes your way. They even come with their own convenient little case. Btw, this comes from small biz Mouthology! Promising review:"I recently purchased this tongue scraper, and I must say, it has made a significant difference in my oral hygiene routine. The scraper is easy to use and efficient in removing any buildup on my tongue. I have noticed that my breath stays fresher for longer, and my tongue feels cleaner throughout the day. The scraper is also easy to clean and store, making it a convenient addition to my daily routine. Overall, I highly recommend using a tongue scraper, and this one in particular is a great choice." — Kelsey Get a two-pack from Amazon for $7.99 (available in two styles, two colors, and multipacks). 30. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that'll help eliminate rough, dead skin in *minutes*. Many reviewers say it only took as long as two to three to see results! After applying this gel, simply scrub with a foot file, and your heels will feel brand new. 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 (also available with a foot file and gloves). 31. OR Demora's foot exfoliation mask to peel away dead skin, calluses, and buildup for baby-smooth skin. Sign. Me. Up. Simply slide these foot mask "socks" onto your feet and leave them on for an hour to let the gel soak in and work its magic. You should start to see the dead skin peel away within 6–11 days (with incredibly softer feet in two weeks!). Check it out on TikTok! Promising review:"I placed this order after seeing it everywhere on TikTok... and boy am I glad I tried it! I was initially skeptical of trying anything on my feet.. and let's be honest, the peeling feet pictures are not for the weak :) .. but oddly extremely satisfying. I soaked my feet in the bag for an hour as instructed (super easy to use) ... two weeks later, BOOM baby soft feet...10/10 would recommend!! " — Alma Elias Get two pairs from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in five scents). 32. A Color-Wow anti-humidity spray because it creates a waterproof coat around your hair that blocks out moisture and prevents frizziness. It lasts — wait for it — up to 72 hours (!!) or through two to three shampoos. Honestly, you'll wish you bought it years ago, because there's nothing more obnoxious than when you spend hours doing your 'do only for it to be ruined as soon as you step outside! Promising reviews:"I fell in love after the first use, not just for curly/thick hair! I have very fine, thin hair that has lots of new growth/flyaways and split ends. Unlike others, I used this spray on dry hair, just spritzed a bit, and used the flat iron... 95% of flyaways were gone, and my hair had a nice shine. This stuff is truly magic for my type of hair!" — Rebecca Beyard "I decided to give it a try [and] was not disappointed! I straighten my type C curls often, but the frizz from living in the southern United States is real, and if the weather is not perfect, it doesn't last in the humidity. This product solved all of that. After washing with soothing shampoo and conditioner, applying leave-in, and then spraying [this] on hair, my shark dryer had no issue with drying my hair into a smooth, silky shine. I don't know that it has ever been straighter than when using this spray, and... [the results] lasted. A long time. Like for at least six days. I have never been able to go that long between washes, and only because the frizz was too much to deal with. This product is a miracle to use on my curly hair! Will definitely buy again." — Amie Howard Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in two sizes as well in extra strength and curly hair versions). 33. A pack of Bissel Stomp 'N Go stain-removing pads reviewers say really do live up to their name. These pads remove gross pet-related stains, and according to reviews, they work on coffee stains, blood, dirt (new and old), and even red wine. All you have to do is place 'em over the stain and stomp — done! Promising review:"Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" — MKELady Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $25.99. 34. A cooktop-cleaning kit to get your electric stovetop looking like new again... because FYI, it doesn't have to look like it's barely survived a food fight and a stain vs. rust war that's been going on for years. It comes with everything you need, including the cleaning solution, a cleaning pad, and a scraper tool. Promising review:"Works amazingly! I hadn't thoroughly scrubbed my glass cooktop in years... Only wiped down with random multi-cleaners, which never seemed to do much. Then, a friend recommended this product... AMAZING! The included scrubbers and scrapers really make the difference. As others have said, it will leave your cooktop shiny and new... Even marks that had been on there for years came almost completely off... 98% better. The key is to use very little product... Let dry to a haze and wipe with a clean, dry cotton towel. (Just like waxing a car). If you aren't getting a mirrored finish it's because you've used too much product and not enough elbow grease to polish off." — B. Swartwood Get it from Amazon for $11.48+. 35. A hydrocolloid nose patch if pimple-picking is an obnoxious habit you'd like to stop asap (it's hard, I get it😩). This is the bigger, nose-shaped version of the best-selling Mighty Patch and it'll cover your entire nose to banish *multiple* pesky zits, dirt, and oil in one fell swoop. Promising review: "Sorcery! Wow, I don't know how these things work, but they are incredible. I have been fighting congested nose pores my entire life, with varying success. This is the first time everything just came out. No scrubbing, harsh chemicals, and poking. I am in love!" — IHateCleaning Get 10 patches from Amazon for $16.55. You can also shop the original Mighty Patch pimple patches from Amazon for $11.97. 36. A piercing bump solution because those annoying keloids have got to go! This can slowly help reduce the size, hardness, and redness of the keloid around your piercing. After all, your new jewelry should be the star of the show, not the bump! This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient, as the healing process takes time! Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day; nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn't seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing, so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent which is appreciated in a product that I'm applying on the nose area." — Jordan C. Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks). 37. Bread Beauty Supply Elastic Bounce Cream to get the spring back in your curls and the super soft feel that comes with it.

Sephora, Sephora Bread Beauty Supply is a Black woman-owned small business that creates amazing haircare specifically for those with curl types 3a–4c. Promising review:"This curl cream is really it. I have tried different ones before, but I feel like this one leaves my hair bouncy and moisturized. I really like the smell, too — it's so sweet, it makes me want to eat it, hehe. I like that a little goes a long way, and the packaging is a really great size, so it would last a long time." — Sephora Customer Get it from Sephora for $16+ (available in two sizes). 38. A set of bed bands that'll keep your fitted sheets secure so you aren't constantly tucking them back in over and over (and over) again. Place them under your mattress and use the suspender-like clasps to keep your sheets in place until it's time to wash 'em. 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 have tried everything! I was about to try to customize some king sheets because it was so frustrating. Then I saw this product advertised on Facebook in one of those posts about the amazing products that people love. So I figured it was 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). 39. A shampoo scalp massager because what's the point of washing your hair if you aren't truly getting to the roots?! The soft, thick bristles cleanse and exfoliate your scalp and are designed to stimulate blood flow and remove dead skin, dried shampoo, and other unwanted stuff on your scalp. Wasting money is a BIG time annoying, and this massager will help ensure your shampoo and conditioner reaches every inch of your head — zero wasted. Emma Lord/BuzzFeed, Promising review:"This little brush is amazing. I have struggled with flakes for a while and have tried various products and techniques to eliminate it- even SCRUBBING my head with a scratchy bristle brush pre-shower-all to no avail. THIS SHAMPOO BRUSH DID THE TRICK IN ONE WASH. I would brush, shampoo, condition, blow dry, and would see the flakes over my entire head immediately. After using this brush ONCE, I saw maybe two flakes TOTAL. I changed nothing else. Same shampoo and conditioner, same product, and brushes to dry and style. I used this massage brush both for the shampoo and for the conditioner. I worked it from front to back instead of in a circular motion to avoid tangling my long hair. As an added bonus, it feels amazing. Very relaxing and luxurious. Much nicer than fingertips or nails. Overall, I really can't think of a scenario when this WOULDN'T be a good purchas e." — Full of Sunshine Get it from Amazon for $6.98+ (available in three colors). 40.

My pores were small; my face was in a good I can't believe my skin looks so good. I'm so excited. I had to write a review. I don't think you'll be sorry if you decide to try this. I know I sure wasn't!" — Judi Bragg Get a box of eight masks from Amazon for $17.65. 41. A bottle of mold and mildew remover spray that kills the toxic mold anywhere from your bathroom tile to your outdoor patio (and all the sneaky places in between). The best part is that there's no hard work on your end. Just spray, wait 15 seconds, and watch the mold disappear! Talk about terrifyingly good results. Promising review:"I bought this RMR-86 spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." — John Werner Get a 32-ounce bottle on Amazon for $15.99 (available in five sizes/packs). 42. A pack of melamine cleaning sponges because they're tough on grime and gentle on surfaces. To get incredible results like the reviewer's door below, all you have to do is wet and swipe. Reviewers call them "magic" for a reason! Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker, and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house, and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenally on the whites of shoes that look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" — TShepp Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $14.95. 43. TruSkin Naturals vitamin C serum, an easy and cruelty-free way to give your skin everything it needs to be brighter and softer. This TikTok-viral serum also has a blend of hyaluronic acid, so not only can it help dramatically fade hyperpigmentation and dark spots, but it'll help treat and prevent acne in the first place. Promising review:"This product saved my skin. I seldom write reviews, but I just had to review this product. I've been struggling with acne for YEARS. I have very acne-prone skin. I get a new pimple almost every day, and it seemed like there was never a time I didn't have a pimple on my face. Acne leaves super dark blemishes/scars on my face. I've tried all different types of moisturizers and cleansers. Nothing worked. However, I bought this serum on a whim. OMGGGG. Guys. Literally, my face stopped flaring within three days. I was PIMPLE-FREE FOR MORE THAN 48 hours (a new record). Exactly two months later, the blemishes have faded DRASTICALLY, and I have no active breakouts. This hasn't happened in years. I truly and honestly think it is due to this product. If you are hesitant, don't be, BUY IT! It has also helped my under-eye bags (use one drop for both under-eyes; pat gently with fingers.)" — Brandon Get a 2-ounce bottle from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes). 44.

Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. Promising review:"This stuff is great! We just bought a house, and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now, our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" — Becky Get it from Amazon for $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 45. An ear washer bottle, a quick and easy at-home solution to cleaning those very important things used to hear sounds. This spray cleaner helps remove ear wax build-up, blockages, and impaction so that you no longer have to wake up with clogged ears — you're missing the chirping birds! The kit includes the washer bottle and three disposable tips. Using it is simple: Fill the bottle with your preferred ear-cleaning solution, attach the disposable tip, and then spray the cleaner into your ear. This will loosen up wax and cause it to basically just fall right out of your ear! Doctor Easy started 20 years ago with the invention of the Elephant Ear Washer by a doctor who saw the need for a better method of treating patients' earwax impactions. Promising review:"Gross photos. My husband has had a lot of earwax impaction problems in his life, and up until this point, we have paid to have a professional take care of it. But recently, he suddenly lost about 80% of his hearing and just couldn't wait for an appointment, so we bought this item. From the reviews I have read, it was a particularly easy solution for my husband. Nasty huge chunks start falling out after just a couple of squirts. Cleared everything out, no problem. Highly recommend." — Tea Get it from Amazon for $29.50. 46. A set of skin-tone shaded reusable waterproof silicone Nippies reviewers say can handle even the hottest, sweatiest of days. This way, you can wear your fave backless dress or halter top without annoying bra straps in the way. Warm weather outfits are about to get next-level. Nippies is a Los Angeles-based small biz founded in 2002. Promising review: "I don't know how I've lived so long without these, and I never want to be without them again. A summer necessity. They do what they say they'll do and magically stay on. I honestly don't know how it works, and I don't care. They're the best. I'm a G cup, and while they don't offer much in terms of support (didn't expect them to), the slightly rubbery outer finish gives them some traction against the inside of whatever you're wearing, so if you're wearing something fitted, your boobs stay in place longer. Huge fan." — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $26.50 (available in three sizes, two styles, and five shades). 47. ORRR a breathable, sweat-proof boob tape kit complete with a roll of the tape, four satin boob petals (to protect the nips), AND a pair of silicone pasties perfect for those very particular tops and dresses there's never a right bra for. Bonus points for the test patch that's included, so you can be sure that the tape doesn't irritate your skin! This stuff has a strong hold, so don't rip this stuff off! Use oil to completely saturate it so it soaks through the adhesive and begins to loosen. Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy; they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice, literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." — MelBee Get it from Amazon for $8.99. 48. A vegan O.P.I. nail-strengthening polish if your nails are constantly chipping, peeling, splitting, and could literally break with a snap of your fingers. This formula (which comes in clear or tinted shades!) is a low-maintenance way to strengthen weak nails. It can be used solo but works great as a base coat, too! Promising review:"I rarely write product reviews, but I feel compelled to explain why this is a great product. I am an older man who has struggled with fingernail biting my entire life. OPI Nail Envy really helps! 1. It is true matte with a barely noticeable shine. I am old-fashioned and would never use a shiny polish. I have tried several other brands that claimed to be matte, but they all had a little shine. 2. OPI Nail Envy not only strengthens my nails — it accelerates the healing of my cuticles and skin around my cuticles. 3. IMPORTANT: Be aware of the formula! This is a vegan formula. There is another formula, OPI Nail Envy Original Formula. I tried some, and it triggered a severe allergic reaction on my cuticles and skin. I switched back to the Vegan formula, and it healed the skin quickly. I wish I had discovered this product 50 years ago. It would have prevented a lot of embarrassment about my nails." — Stephen Bell Get it from Amazon for $19.95 (available in clear and eight colors). 49. A box of maximum-strength one-step wart-removing pads — medicated, waterproof bandages that will help protect your warts while also helping exfoliate them from your skin. Thousands of reviewers say they've received amazing results, and many after just one use! Promising review:"This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first, I thought it was a small callus, but as months went by, it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought, 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times, and nothing! I then realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! I bought the invisible strips, and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight!! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper and reapplied! My bigger wart was a little tougher to remove, and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for a few days before reapplying a strip, and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged, but it looks like nothing was ever there!" — Audrey N. Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29. 50. A set of drill brushes for those who are finally ready to clean out all of the grout in tiles, stoves, countertops, grills, and even gutters. Attach it to your drill and be prepared to have your eyes pop out like a Looney Tune once you see the results! OK, so the drill is NOT included.

Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. Promising review:"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass, that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." — Mary in Nebraska Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors).
