This TikTok-famous paste can clean literally ANY mess whether it's in your bathroom, kitchen, basement or anywhere in between.
Promising review: "Amazing product. 99% all natural... no chemicals, no toxic odor. Shower wall hard water stains completely wiped out. I used other products on my 10-year-old oven door and it never came as clean. First try, I wiped on, wiped off. (Recommended at least five minutes.) Second try, I applied Pink and left it over night. Baked on grit was softened enough I could use a spoon to scrap. End result... BIG DIFFERENCE. By far the best versatile, nontoxic, gentle abrasive product. I would love a case so I could go crazy." —ap808

Depending on how often your loo could use a refresh, you can set the unit to go off every 9, 18, or 36 minutes.
Promising review: "I was looking for a way to make the house smell nice — all the time — without candles which can be a fire hazard. I tried the plugins but I found the smell didn't last long. This item fit the bill. I like the tropical scent. I have one of these in the bathroom and one in the living room. The batteries last a long time — months. You can set the sprayer to spray with different frequencies. I use every 30ish minutes usually but you can adjust that. The sprayer dispenser is attractive enough to place out on a table. I am happy with this purchase." —winnie

Promising review: "I bought these last month to see if I would like them, they are my 32,393,657,697,047,241st product I have purchased for stainless steel in my kitchen. Hahahahaa not really, but I know I have bought over 100 products and none ever do what they say they will. ENTER WEIMAN STAINLESS STEEL CLEANER WIPES! This product is EVERYTHING and more. I have no streaks, no hand prints, just gorgeous shiny and clean stainless steel. You have made my life so much easier with these wipes. I am so thankful I found this product. Just wipe on and shine off with cotton cloth. Easy peasy and lasts for the whole week in my heavily used kitchen because I cook every single day. So thankful. You will love these I promise you. This is not a gimmick product, it's the REAL DEAL! Buy them and you will be as happy as me and your kitchen will look stunning." —jaguar

Each bottle gets you four cleanings. Just dump it in, fill your tub, run the jets and it'll flush out soap scum, mold, and whatever other gunk your whirlpool is harboring.
Promising review: "Oh. My. Gosh. Our tub came with the house. I’ve just never felt like it was clean. Bleach, dishwashing detergent, vinegar. Tried it all and it looked clean, but then the next time you’d start it up, little bits of gunk. So, we almost never used it. I decided to hunt down a cleaner specifically for this. So, bought this after the reviews. Keep in mind, I deep cleaned this about six months ago, including bleaching it and running the jets. Hadn’t used it since. And, after the first run... ICK!!!! It was so nasty!!!! Took two runs, with me cleaning out the tub after draining it each time, for the water to be crystal clear and absolutely clean. I took a bath feeling like it was truly clean and what a great bath it was. This stuff is AMAZING!!!!" —J. Burnett

Each pouch of lemon-scented formula gets you four uses. Dump a pack into your disposal (while off at first!), run the water just a bit, and then start it and watch as the blue foam gets to work eliminating odors and loosening up nasties that have been caught down there for who knows how long.
Promising review: "These are amazing! I was skeptical at first but I followed the directions (which are super easy) and was grossed out and satisfied at the same time to see the gunk that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal (I read that twice too) and magic happens in under two minutes! That is what I call powerful and successful cleaning! The scent is super clean and light with a hint of lemon. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me." —KPITT

The lemon-scented biodegradable gel will pick up dirt and dust but won't stick to your fingers. It's basically adult Silly Putty.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first; afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite happened, though, and it cleaned it as good as new. Got all those dog hairs between the keys! No smell lingering on keyboard or my hands. No sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. Kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL. My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and use it on my dusty window blinds. This stuff works and I highly recommend!" —ZZZZZZ

Promising review: "This is an amazing set of brushes. Don't be fooled by the low cost. The brushes are soft and long enough to get into tight spots but firm enough to hold up. They work amazing in those hard-to-clean aluminum window runners and sliding doors. I've used them to clean in enclosed fan blades, refrigerator vents, etc. They wash easily and with a bit of TLC they hold their shape. Always nice to find something so simple and inexpensive that works so well." —CNJ

The nifty gadget comes in multiple sizes that work for pups as small as a miniature dachshund and as large as a golden retriever.
Promising review: "I have four dogs in NYC. I have to wash their feet after every walk because the streets are so filthy. It would take me about 10 to 15 minutes to clean their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now, it takes about five minutes. And the towel doesn’t end up filthy. The dirt gets caught in the cup. Plus the dogs seem to like it. The silicone bristles must feel good. A huge thumbs up!" —Sandra

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

Promising review: "I was skeptical at first because I've tried just about everything to clean my monitors and TV screens and EVERYTHING left streaks. Well, the buck stops here.

Promising review: "So I decided to try this product after reading the reviews, some great and some not so great. I also talked to a friend who loves them! So, I figured for less than $4 I didn’t have much too lose and let me tell you these things smell AMAZING!!! Super easy to apply and the scent isn’t too strong but you can smell it when you go potty! If you pay attention to the water in the toilet bowl you can see that it’s actually working as well! Not sure how long each one will last but for the price, you can just buy more!! I’ve also heard these are way better than the ones that hang onto the side of the toilet!" —Kay Kay

Each kit comes with three nylon brush attachments which, once attached to a cordless drill, can get to work on your dirtiest sinks, showers, baseboards, and more.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so hand scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door... everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

Promising review: "This stuff is like magic! Straight up wizardry. I love it! I initially bought it to clean my sink, which is porcelain and even though it's not even a year old, is just holding on to all the coffee and tea staining. I'd say it took less than a minute after making a paste with Bar Keepers Friend to clean the sink up to a nearly new shine. Taking a look at the can it's easy to find bunches of ways to use this stuff and each application is better than the last. Stainless steel, porcelain, ceramic, copper, brass, fiberglass, corian, chrome and aluminum. See? Magic! Anyhow, I've used it in the sink, in the bathroom, to clean stainless steel pots and pans on a 17-year-old Revereware tea kettle (which I thought would never be restored to its former loveliness, btw). This is a product that I will buy again and again and will happily recommend to anyone." —Nicci Stephenson

I have two cats who shed like it's their full-time job and let me tell you — this thing is amazing. I used to vacuum my bed/rug/their favorite chair multiple times a week and follow that up with a traditional lint roller that I'd have to use 10 to 15 sheets in one go. With this nifty tool, I give whatever I'm cleaning a few good rolls and then empty out enough fur to felt them few cat toys (I don't *actually* do that, but I could if I wanted to).
Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair, I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way and make a mess. It's the best. I don't have any 'before' pictures because as soon as I started rolling stuff I went crazy." —Meowser

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. A bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile." —Nick V.

Promising review: "No seriously — this is amazing. I have long hair and recently had a baby. It's a wonder I still have any hair based on the clumps I see falling out on a regular basis. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamo

The flexible18-inch tool has more than a thousand 5-star ratings from reviewers who say the rotating handle is particularly helpful. Plus it's more effective and less expensive than a bottle of Drano!
Promising review: "....it immediately latched onto the hair clogging my drain like some kind of alien extraterrestrial creature. I was disgusted and amused at the same time. I tried it on my other drains and it worked well. I ordered the one with the special handle, the handle didn't make much of a difference. I recommend the one without the handle since it's cheaper and probably works just as well. This thing is incredible for removing hair in your drain." —Michael

Promising review: "I was skeptical about spending this much for a cleaning set, but I'm glad I did. All the products are sustainable, and the bottles/canisters are really quality. As a note: the bottles are heavy-duty plastic and not glass. I love the color coding for each of the bottles. I have found all products to perform as well or better than their less sustainable counterparts. Already gifted another set to a friend!" —Emily M.

The Wi-Fi-enabled box self cleans, reduces litter usage up to 50%, manages odors with a carbon-filtered waste drawer, and settings can be controlled via an app on your smartphone. You can lock the buttons on the actual box so your cat doesn't mess with them; you can set a 3-, 7-, or 15-minute delay before the unit cycles (after your cat has used the box); and it'll notify you when the waste drawer needs to be manually emptied. Otherwise, just set it and forget it.
Promising review: "Hands-down best money I’ve ever spent. Less kitty litter used, no more scooping, happy kitty because her litter is always clean, no more doggie curiosity. Best invention for cat parents. My only caveat was I bought compostable trash bags to use when my original supply of Kitty Robot liners ran out. My 'hack' is that I put the entire bin inside a compostable trash bag and slide the edges of the bag under the clips near the air vent. Then, slide whole bin back in place carefully. Once it’s time to empty it, I just pull the bag and toss. Voila!" —Julieana T.

Promising review: "This has made my list of Top 5 Amazon purchases EVER. I have two Australian shepherds and make extra money by dog sitting through Rover. As you can imagine, my couch takes a lot of damage from the constant flow of pups. I had been scrubbing the spots individually as they happened with a spot treatment, but I was left with discolored and stained cushions. I also didn’t feel like the scrubbing was truly getting the couch CLEAN. These cushions have been vomited on, puked on, stepped on with muddy paws, and licked until damp (I know; disgusting). Well, I am amazed with the Bissell Little Green! I have no doubt that this purchase will be well worth the reasonable price for the use I’ll get out of it as a dog sitter. I had planned to use it as a spot cleaner (which I will), but after watched the dirty water come off of the 'clean' areas of the cushion? I’m considering just cleaning the whole couch!" —Ivy

I have scrubbed the microwave and couldn’t get the horrible smell out to the point it was giving me a headache. After several days I decided to ordered this before buying a new microwave. Got it today and used it and shocked it actually pulled most of the odor out that’s trapped in the upper vent. This $10 item saved me $200 to $400." —Angela D.

The Air Mini+ uses a patented PECO filter which — when activated by light — first traps large particles and then destroys them before dispersing purified air. If you're concerned about VOCs, bacteria, mold, viruses, or allergens, this lil' guy is ready to jump into action.
Promising review: "We love this purifier so far! Breathing clean air is so important — now more than ever. I’m feeling much more confident about the air in our home since we’ve started using the Molekule Air Mini+ in our living room where we spend most of our time together as a family. I love that instead of just trapping the pollutants, it actually destroys them. It was so easy to set up, runs quietly, and looks beautiful in our home. I’m very happy with this purifier, it’s a must-have for those with allergies and pets!" —Stephanie

We used the hose of our vacuum and sucked out the air (like you're vacuum sealing). The cushions plumped right up and smelled gorgeous for several weeks. Our very allergic daughter had no problems sitting on the sofa. We also sprinkled on carpets for great deodorizing. Fine powder that goes a long way.

The pack comes with three Scrub Daddies — each in a different color — so you never have to worry about using the bathroom sponge on dishes. 😱
Promising review: "I used to 'save' these little gems for 'special projects' (what projects, I don't know because I ended up not ever using them!). Then one day I decided 'What the heck, just use one in the sink for dishes, you can always buy more.' Lo and behold, I LOVE them! They remove food off of dishes more easily than a sponge and I just throw them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they come out spotless! They never smell and always rinse out nicely in between washings. These little gems even take off hard water build up from my shower doors! (I also use regular cleaners with them to do the trick.). I love these so much I bought a bunch and used them as stocking stuffers last Xmas! Everyone loves them!" —DivaGranny

Promising review: "Holy cow! I never thought my stained grout would look so good! These pens are so amazing. After a little priming, they go forever! They cover very well and are super easy to use and covers the darkest of stains! I am buying four more to cover the rest of the house. The tip does not get into the very end of a line due to the border but I prime it a bit for excess paint and push it in with my finger. Also, this is great for those deep small holes or grooves that are in the tile that leave dirt spots that are almost impossible to get out. Just prime it over the hole and rub it in with your finer and wipe off the rest. I have very light beige tile and the beige color pens blend perfectly. I would NOT recommend white unless you have very while tile. This beige will blend well with white as well. Cannot beat it for the price and the amazing job this pen does. One pen will cover about a 3 x 20-foot area no problem." —NatJH

It does an excellent job or erasing odors and seems to be working to deter puppy from peeing in that spot again. Leaves a great long-lasting scent and odors are long gone by the time the pleasant scent fades the next day. It’s also a great stain remover. I’ve only used it on puppy messes but it makes quick work of them. Love this stuff so much!!" —Geek Girl
