    These 46 Products Are So Genius, You'll Wonder Where They've Been All Your Life

    Including a toilet night-light, a dipping sauce holder for your car, and a waterproof notepad for jotting down your brilliant ideas in the shower.

    1. A jar of odor-removing gel to finally get rid of any unwanted smells around the house. Just open up the top of the jar and place it where smells tend to linger, and the gel will literally absorb the smell instead of masking it. It's a lifesaver for pet owners.

    2. A paw cleaner for dogs who don't like to sit still long enough for you to clean their muddy paws with a towel. With this, add water, dunk their paw in, and the gentle silicone bristles remove caked-on dirt and mud in seconds.

    3. A teeth-whitening pen because you don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of money getting a professional teeth whitening. Thanks to the easy-to-use pen, you can just brush the whitening solution on right from home and get back to living your life!

    4. A dipping sauce holder that attaches to the AC vent of your car for an optimal on-the-go chicken nugget dunking or fry dipping experience. At first, you might ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" and the answer to that question is, "Yes, you absolutely do."
