Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German Shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I’ve become that weird lady that goes arounds singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan

Promising review: "Our new house has a mix of thick carpet, linoleum, and wood floors and my old vacuum wasn't going to cut it. This vacuum's awesome. It pulls the dirt out of next week, I swear to you. Almost every use we had to empty the container because it was clearly having to do the work of my old vacuum on our area rugs. It transitions between the floor types with a quick click, and the wand and attachments are well-stored and quickly accessible to make transitioning from floors to ceilings quick (when you find that giant cobweb and go OMG and need the wand like NOW). Best of all — it's really pretty quiet! It seriously feels like a toy since it's such a fun little hard worker." —J.G.

Promising review: "You will not regret buying these. They work SO well. I had constant draining issues in my shower and so I figured I would search 'hair drain' on Amazon. Lo and behold, there I was searching for tools to clean out my drain. I did not expect these drain snakes to work so well! They are made out of sturdy plastic and I was able to use it both on my shower AND my sink drains before being too grossed out and needing to throw it away." —Nhi

This is a two-piece set! You get one larger suction pad and one smaller that also fits securley in your hand.
Promising review: "This mat is amazing. I took it for a spin today and was very happy with the results. I usually have to put in quite a bit of elbow grease to clean my foundation brushes, but this made the process super easy and much faster than usual. The suction cups kept it steady in my sink. And the shipping was pretty quick. All in all, I love it!" —Quianna M.

They're biodegradable, chlorine-free, all-natural, and environmentally safe! They work on stainless steel bottles, plastic, glass, porcelain, and silicone.
Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. 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. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "We have an expensive white porcelain and steel sink with a rust stain that I have been trying to remove for months. I tried a lot of old-time remedies, including liquid chlorine. The stain resisted everything. The bottle of Whink stain remover arrived today. One squirt and rub with a paper towel and the stain is gone! This stuff really works. I love stuff that is designed to do a single thing and works perfectly. I love this stuff." —wintonwoods@mail.com

Promising review: "This thing is amazing. With multiple cats and two dogs who have no boundaries in the house (couches, chairs and beds are free game), and more than a few with black fur, our furniture and carpets were constantly covered. This thing works wonders! Easy to use, does the job right, and cheap. What a bang for your buck. The fur comes right off, it's a miracle. I recently used it in our bedroom since we have light blue carpet. The vacuum wasn't sucking up the fur and the carpet looked dingy and dirty. I got down and went to town on the carpet with this thing and the difference is like night and day. Seriously, if you have pets, this is a must. Bought it in March, it's now October and it still works like a beast. You won't regret buying this." —dameow687

It works on stains from grass, berries, blood, sweat, oil, tomato sauce, watermelon, red wine, mud, cosmetics, pet accidents, and more.
Promising review: "Holy smokes, this stuff is great! I’m always paranoid to try new detergents or stain treaters because my husband and baby both have super sensitive skin, but this is very gentle and hasn’t caused any issues. And it’s a boss at removing stains. Plus it’s natural, so I feel better about using it. I’ve been raving about it to all my friends! It got strawberry stains out of my daughter's white onesie, too." —Sizzle

Promising review: "After reading the reviews here I went with this restoration kit, and it could not have gone better. Followed the instructions and did one light at a time, and the photos speak for themselves. The lenses look as good as they did out of the showroom. Be sure to read and follow the instructions, and have faith. I took my time, did each light twice with the cleaner before applying the clear coat, and altogether it took about 40 minutes. Better yet, both cleaning pads rinsed out easily, and I have more than enough left to do this again (if needed), in a few years." —Robert A. Mina

With this, you'll never have to worry about removing price stickers from gifts or drinkware again. It works great on cars, windows, hard and soft surfaces, and fabric.
Promising review: "It works!! I put some on my window because of the tape residue there. I rubbed it in with a cloth and then took an old credit card I had to scrape the residue off. The difference is amazing." —Djeff

Promising review: "This thing is a straight-up miracle. I've had brownish hard water rings around the inside (water level) of my toilets for decades. Nothing worked. Finally it a fit of disgust I ordered the Pumie. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to get this long ago. The stains are gone for the first time in forever. It didn't scratch the toilet bowl as far as I can see. If you've got hard water stains, don't worry about chemicals...just get this thing and in about ten minutes you will be as delighted as I am, and not embarrassed to have people in your bathroom anymore." —JS

Promising review: "I love these. I bought two; one I use on my laundry room door to store cleaning products. The other I use in my daughter’s room for random things like tights, jewelry, small toys, etc. They are very sturdy and better quality than other door sleeves I have bought for double the price. I will probably buy a few more to store hair products and other items in my bathrooms. Great way to add extra storage in pretty much any room in the house!" —kenziern

This tool has three settings and takes two AA batteries (not included).
Promising review: "This little defuzzer worked better than I dreamed it would. It's very easy to use. The top pops off so you can clean out the little balls you have shaved off. I used it on my favorite blouse that after a couple of washings, decided to get little balls all over it. Then I tackled a major item: a pair of black sweat pants that were almost throw away pants as they were completely covered in fuzz balls. It did a really good job." —stilljojo

Promising review: "I used a hard bristle brush to gently wipe the initial layer of dust on, powered the AC breakers off, then sprayed this stuff on the coils. It was not clear to me if I had to turn the AC system off or not, so I aired on the side of caution and shut it off (with the breaker set to OFF state). I'm going to start cleaning my AC's inner evaporator coil once a year now cause I want a lower AC bill and doing so will lengthen the lifespan of my system." —jtbuster

The rods connect and are pliable, so they can reach deep into your vent.
Promising review: "Anyone who thinks they don't have a problem with lint should look at my pictures. My house is only 10 years old and so much came out of my vent. That doesn't even include what was cleaned out from our dryer filter and what was in just the dryer unit. This product is very easy to use. I definitely suggest taping each junction to make sure they don't separate in the vent. I broke my cleaning into four cleanings. First cleaning was with just the brush and the first extension. After ensuring that section is clean I added the second and so forth until the brush came out clean. Given the length of the brush with all four sections, I found it easier to have another set of hands guide the brush into the vent while the other set was operating the drill." —Looneypenguin

Promising review: "I was skeptical about this little rubber strainer, but I needed something to save my drains from the piles of hair that fall out of my head. I tried others and they all failed miserably. This thing is amazing! It fit into my standard drain perfectly, and I don't think a single hair slipped by it. It was pretty gross to see how much hair I lost in just one shower, but it was comforting to know it wasn't clogging my drain. Cleanup is super easy, too. I just took a tissue and wiped it from top to bottom, grabbing all the hair as the soft rubber strainer released it all easily. Not a hair was caught in it. Best strainer I've ever had. I strongly recommend it!!!" —Lawyer For Justice

This stuff can be used in the bathroom, the kitchen, and on multiple things outdoors, so consider it super versatile. The scrubbing cloths it comes with are non-scratch and won't hold odors like most sponges.
Promising review: "I have cleaned this tub several times per week for over a year with no real results. What kills me is it is a BRAND NEW tub. Last year we redid the downstairs bathroom. The contractor’s workers had cement, grout, dirt, etc. on this brand new tub and it is one of those delicate surfaces where you can’t even use a bath mat in order not to damage it. My husband did his best to get most of it out and it was pretty good compared to what it was before. But it still attracted stains that regular cleaners couldn’t remove. Even with the slight damage caused from before, I think the difference is remarkable. I’ve seen people posting about Bar Keepers Friend for stainless steel pots and delicate tubs for years. It’s true. It works." —N.B.

Promising review: "We have been buying these sponges for a long time. They really are non-scratch and do a great job of getting stuck on food off of our dishes. We buy them in bulk because I hate the smell of old sponges and because it's much cheaper than realizing you need a new sponge, running to the grocery store, and spending two times as much is necessary on one sponge and then repeating that process week after week. These sponges are cost-efficient and hold up fairly well, even with my husband using them so vigorously it's like he is attacking our dishes for daring to be used. Definitely a great value and something we will continue to buy." —Valerie J

These bags are super sterile, so you don't have to worry about mold or mildew building up inside. They're also a great alternative for seasonal clothing, and come with a travel pump to remove air.
Promising review: "THESE ARE LIFE-CHANGING. They even give you a hand pump to use in case you're taking the bags camping or just don't have a vacuum handy. I tested the pump to see how well it works, and it worked perfectly! Works just as well as a vacuum, just takes a little more effort pumping out the air. Using these bags, I have half my closet back! I used three bags to store ALL THE items in my closet including three large pillows and several thick blankets and comforters. I will most definitely be buying more; these are fantastic!!!" —Knastay

Promising review: "It will take one look from your friends to say. 'Did you buy some new wheels?' This stuff is absolutely amazing. For the full effect, dismount your wheel, spray the back. Go do something for 10 minutes. Wash with water, no scrubbing needed. Turn the rim face up, do it again. Do the rest of your rims, and don't forget the tire protectant when you reinstall them. This stuff will handle salt, road tar, off-road dirt and mud; you get it dirty, it comes clean. Where was this stuff when I was racing off-road?" —johnfcon

The brushes can also be used on shower door tracks and stovetops.
Promising review: "This is a big step up from toothbrushes, which I have used for many years prior to buying these. Key improvements over toothbrushes: angled handles that get your hands up and out of the way, the handles are bigger and grippier than a toothbrush, the larger brush has pretty stiff bristles which are great for heavy scrubbing without scratching, the smaller brush has tapered softer bristles on one end (good for cleaning in tight areas), and the rubber nub on the other end of the smaller brush is surprisingly good for cleaning in tight areas. I replaced the four toothbrushes in my cleaning kit with these." —jfb

Promising review: "I've used other micro cloths before and didn't like them because they left the counters wet, and stuck to my chapped hands. But I read about these and thought I'd try them. I love them! They are nothing like the other cloths I tried. These really do pick everything up and leave the counters clean and almost dry, and they don't catch on my hands. I can wipe my stainless appliances clean with them. I wash my wooden cabinets with them. I keep a cloth in my bathroom to wipe my mirrors every day." —SophieW

Promising review: "Over the last few years I had noticed increasing problems with keeping my tub clean. Soap scum rings were forming within two days after cleaning the tub, and I was getting green and orange deposits on the bottom of the tub after the water dried. After using Oh Yuk, the amount of gunk that came out of the jets was truly appalling! It was an orange, sticky, mess. With this product, my tub stays cleaner and smells so much better! I was a little hesitant to try this product because I was afraid it might damage my acrylic tub. I emailed Oh Yuk and they got back to me immediately assuring me that the product is safe to use. It also has not harmed the bathtub finish or the pump seals in any way. I cannot recommend this product highly enough." —Lisa

The cleaner comes with sponges for cleaning, but some reviewers reported scratching, so to err on the side of caution, I recommend using a microfiber cloth.
Promising review: "We have just finished a long, significant remodel of our house, touching every room. We bought a brand new range and after cooking on it a few times, there was residue that I just could not get off. With the surface being slightly delicate, I was scared to use anything abrasive! I bought this hoping it would be gentle enough, but effective and this did not disappoint! Just a few swipes with the included pads lifted all stubborn stains effortlessly! I will be an eternal customer." —Workaholic

Promising review: "The dog LOVES to pee on any new carpets I get; he marks it and then it's a permanent smell no matter what we do. We tried no less than three different kinds of pet odor/cleaner sprays that didn't touch the smell. I even used a carpet shampooer and shampooed it three times and it STILL smelled like dog pee. This product was going to be a last-ditch effort before I got a new area rug and wow!! No more smell! I am super impressed and more than a little relieved that I don't have to spend big money on another carpet. I have read some of the reviews that the smell of the spray is overpowering, but I thought it was very minimal and pleasant." —Nate

Promising review: "This is the first time that I used these, and I am impressed. To use them, you run very hot water from your tap into the disposer. Then you add the cleaner pack to the disposer while the water is turned down to a trickle, and turn the disposer on. I initially thought you tore the paper and poured the cleaner in the disposer, but you add the pack as is — the paper gets dissolved as the disposer is run. There is a scrubbing bubbles type of foam that appears, and once it stops foaming, your disposal is clean. It took two of these to really clean the disposer (it hadn't been cleaned in some time), and they did a fantastic job. Glisten will now be part of our regular kitchen cleaning routine." —Wyrmwood

Say goodbye to days of lost chapsticks and misplaced sunglasses. Before you order, measure the inside of your bag to get the best fit!
Promising review: "This thing is great! I have a large bag I use as a carry-on when I fly by plane. Unfortunately it has very few pockets and is just like a bottomless pit. This fit in perfectly. I was able to organize all my items quite well. They were easy to retrieve in flight and in the airport. I didn't use the zipper compartment at all, but did put that piece in to use it as a divider. It is well-made and sturdy. Be sure to measure your inner bag space first!" —Susan

Promising review: "Before I got this, the cabinet under my kitchen sink was an absolute mess. All the cleaning supplies were piled on top of each other; there were empty grocery store bags everywhere. I would have to dive in there in order to find anything. As soon as I got this shelf my cabinet made a turnaround. The shelf was extremely easy to set up, although you have to get in there in order to get the sink pipes between the shelf tubes, but it was nothing. The skeleton of the shelf is expandable and fit my cabinet perfectly. You can also adapt the height of the shelves to your liking or needs. I personally set it up so that the shelves would be at the very top and at the very bottom of the unit. The height between shelves is perfect for tall cleaning spray bottles and whatever you want to put there. It definitely is the best organizer for places where there are pesky pipes in the way that use up valuable space." —Ro2x

I sprayed this on everything ceiling to floor and simply sponge-mopped the walls. No big muscles needed. Grease, mildew, and built-up dirt of many years wiped right off. Toilet & tiles that I thought would have to be replaced are clean! I will never buy a different cleaning product again." —bg

Those things do not work well together in the normal world, but these cans have saved my life.
