Promising review: "My husband calls the Bacon Sponge my Baconator! Since the lockdown and the scarcity of paper goods, I've reevaluated my carbon footprint. Where I used to go through several paper towels as I blotted the grease off of food, I needed nothing more than the bacon sponge laid across my cutting board to do the trick this time. It sopped up the bacon grease like a charm. After a few minutes soaking in Dawn dish detergent, I threw it into the wash with my towels. Came out lovely — fresh and ready for another round. I do plan on trying it with other foods like chicken. A top-notch product!" —dvitola

Promising review: "I used this to clean my new rental, and to clean the old one. I did use them twice on both over the course of a few days due to build up on the inside. It worked like a charm. I am a big believer in leaving my apartment cleaner than I found it, and this definitely did. My dishes have come out cleaner, and without any residue. Note that I did use two tablets each time I ran it through. I'm excited to try the other products in this line since the dishwasher tablets did so well." —Tom Steude

Promising reviews: "This is amazing!!! I can't say enough good about it. Works awesome on short dog hair. Cleaned the underside of my comforter where my little rat terrier/chihuahua mix sleeps every night like a charm. I would recommend this wholeheartedly. It is not a sticky thing. It is a brush with little tiny bristles that picks all the hair off the material and then you empty out the chamber where the dog hair collects. I love it! I wish I had found it a long time ago." —Laurie Horn

Promising review: "LOVED this. It worked like a charm. My washer smelled so gross for some reason. I was desperate and read all the great reviews and it says to keep repeating it like 3x if it stinks really bad, but I only had to do it once. Now I just need to clean the drum. I will recommend this to my mom. She is having same problem." —Alece Louviere

Note that it doesn't sharpen single-beveled edge or serrated knives.
Promising review: "I’ve always been confused about the best method for knife sharpening so I often bring mine to a professional, just in case. During the pandemic that wasn’t feasible so I picked this up for the meantime and it works like a charm. No clue whether it’s bad for the kind of knives I use but I imagine if a blade can get dull it can always be resharpened by a pro later." —Christina R.

Promising review: "Took me a little while to figure out the right angle to use this effectively but once I did it worked like a charm.

Promising review: "I bought these because my husband bought a water bottle with such a small opening I couldn't wash it. It cleans it and does so much more. I've used it on my stainless steel tumbler that I drink tea from. It removes tea and coffee stains like a charm! Makes the bottles look brand new. I just wish the package came with more tablets. I feel like I have to use them sparingly due to the price." —Taylor B.

Typically the visits are cut short due to constant sneezing or drowsiness from allergy medication. I’m sooo pleased to say she spent hours at my house Christmas Eve and never sneezed once. I spray often and especially before her arrival. Works like a charm!" —Di

Promising review: "This works like a charm! We have a Great Pyrenees and anyone with one knows the daily struggle to keep the long white hairs from covering everything. This broom worked exactly as stated. Yes, it takes a little elbow grease on the carpets, but it WORKS! Now maybe we won't go through a new vacuum cleaner every year. This is a great product and I highly recommend it." —Pat Fifield - Author & Playwright

Wow...used this stuff on it and it looks like a brand new table!! Highly recommend this product. Was skeptical about it at first but though, why not? So glad I bought it. Works like a charm.
