Promising Review: "Although I use Borax in my laundry, it has a plethora of other uses. It can unclog toilets. Just scoop as much water as you can out of the toilet, then add 1/2 cup. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes, then add two cups of boiling water and flush. Repeat as necessary. It cleans mold and mildew. Mix one cup with one quart of hot water and pour it into a spray bottle. Spray the mold and mildew until it’s saturated, wait several hours, then rinse thoroughly. It removes rust. Mix one part Borax with one part lemon juice spread the mixture onto the rust, then let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Finally, just wipe it clean. Repeat if necessary. It can be used to clean your mattress. It can keep bugs away. For cockroaches, sprinkle it on shelves around your food. For bedbugs and fleas, sprinkle it on your mattress or carpet, let it sit for at least 30 minutes, then vacuum it up." —K.M.B.

Promising Review: "This stuff really cleans my sink and disposal of the foul odor that sometimes develops. I've tried everything to get rid of the smell from the garbage disposal: vinegar, bleach, ice, various other products, baking soda, baking soda with vinegar, boiling water. Nothing seemed to get rid of the smell. This stuff does. I like it so much!" —Carol L. Hill
Promising Review: "I love this stuff! I use one to two capfuls for a load of laundry or in water for cleaning floors, counters, spills, carpet stains, etc. This product is very concentrated, so it's economical, and it also has a pleasant mild citrus fragrance." —Cornelligan

Promising Review: "I purchased this product by accident, but I figured I might as well use it. It makes cleaning an easier process, it can tackle tough dirt/grime/grease/etc., it has a great scent, and it's an extremely safe with almost no toxicity. It cleans well, it smells good, and it's safe! Usually, my rabbit just wanders into the pictures of my Amazon reviews, but it's a little different here because this is a safe product to use with bunnies (and children and pets.)" —ZapNZs
Promising Review: "We have an old Yorkie who seems to pee everywhere. This product works instantly and better than any of the other stuff we've tried. It's quick and doesn't smell 'chemically'. Got the yellow out of the marble floors and rugs he frequents. I don't want to lose the dog so I'm going to have to stock up on this." —Edgar Ruiz Jr.

Promising Review: "This is a great product for stinky washers. I have a 15-year-old front-loader that was suddenly getting stinky. I was getting mentally prepared to toss it and get a new washer and dryer, but I decided to try this first. TA-DAAAA! It worked with just one cycle and months later the smell has not returned. I am recommending this to all of my friends!" —M. K. Johnson

Promising Review: "Just pop it in and run one reservoir of water through the system. It is blue but unclogs and does a great job of cleaning. When I used the white vinegar method I'd have to rinse it quite a few times to get rid of the vinegar taste in the water. I definitely recommend this to others. I believe it works in all systems that use the K-cup." —Brandi

Promising Review: "These erasers are exactly what they claim to be —MAGIC! My apartment has white walls throughout, and these erasers get out all kinds of blemishes. A few months ago, don't ask me what I was doing but somehow my hand jerked while I was literally just standing next to my dresser which had a lit candle, and I sent the candle flying. I got red wax all over my white wall! For about two minutes I went into a sheer panic mode, but then I calmed down and used my head. I waited for the wax to harden a little, then used my nail to scrape it off (I don't recommend this, the feeling and the sound is excruciating). Once I scraped it all off, it left a pink stain where the wax had been, so I grabbed my magic eraser, added a little water and watched my wall transform back to its pristine self." —LL

Promising Review: "I love these! I literally use them for everything: my house, car, classroom! I love that Amazon sells them in three and four packs because I keep one tub upstairs, one downstairs, and one in my classroom. They come with 80 wipes per tub, and I usually use one to two at a time, depending on the size of the mess I'm cleaning. Because they are always right at my fingertips, I no longer need to spend time finding rags and bottles of cleaner. This makes it super easy to clean up at the drop of a hat. You just wipe and throw away! Voila!" —tarafarah7: Tara Brown

Promising Review: "I used this to clean a brick patio and it worked really well! I diluted eight scoops in two gallons of warm water, poured the solution over the brickwork, left for ten minutes and then scrubbed with a stiff brush and a scrubbing brush for stubborn areas." —JS
Promising Review: "I have three sets of leather couches and two very active dogs. My husband likes to eat his snacks on the couches (like apples and yogurt) and share with the dogs. My big dog has lots of slobber and gets it on the leather. I was surprised that all of that got cleaned up nicely with this cleaner and conditioner. It gave the leather a very nice patina and it seemed that I used very little of the product." —goswimmin

Promising Review: "I used this product yesterday to clean the wood in my bedroom, bath, and hall. When my teenage daughter came upstairs she said, 'it smells so fresh up here'. She took then took the cleaner and began using it in her bedroom and the family room. What a wonderful day! I didn't have to ask for help with the Saturday cleaning!! But also, it leaves wood clean without a residue. LOVE IT!" —frequent amazon shopper
Promising Review: "My daughter is a catcher on a competitive softball team and this gets her white uniform pants clean! I fill a bucket with water to get the pants wet and rinse the loose dirt off. Then I rub the bar on the pants, (like you would a bar of soap and a washcloth) until the pants are full of soap foam. Then I look the pants over for more set-in stains and rub the pants to work those out. Then I throw them in the washer on heavy wash with a just a little bleach (you could use your favorite white brightener). These pants took about 10 minutes." —Terri Medellin
Promising Review: "I had high hopes for this product and they have been met if not exceeded. With only a small amount of product it cleans and polishes without leaving streaks. There is not a lot of rubbing involved, just wipe on and a few strokes to polish off. I am very pleased with the product and have purchased it again for my daughter." —J amz online
Promising Review: "My mom absolutely loves this stuff. She is an OCD cleaner and buys every product there is. She tried this on stainless steel, glass, granite, windows, tile — you name it, it got sprayed. It doesn't leave any streaks, smells great with no chemical scent, is natural, and is reasonably priced too!" —Graduate Student

Promising Review: "Great product from what I can see. As described it does not work for soap stains, but for plain dirty grout, it makes the job as easy as possible. My bathroom grout (white tile/grout) was nasty from the previous owners of the house. About an hour on the floor with this product and the grout looks as good as it ever. Spray it on, give it a minute to soak in and scrub. You can see the dirt come up immediately. Wipe up with water and done. I'll probably make another pass to get a few spots that I didn't allow to soak in properly, but as you can see it does work well." —M. Smith

Promising Review: "This is my first experience with using eco-friendly products and I was extremely impressed. One thing I noticed immediately was the smell; it doesn't leave a bleach smell like other cleaning products. Very easy to clean, all I did was give it a few spray, leave it there and come back to spray some water. For some harder, tougher stains just use a sponge to give it a good scrub and things will come off. For once, I can't believe that I'm saying this but I love cleaning." —Jannie
Promising Review: "We moved into a new house and the dishwasher had lots of buildup on it. I followed the directions exactly (placed it upside down and ran it on the hottest cycle) and after one use the dishwasher was sparkling. I would highly recommend this for anyone. I have yet to see a need to use the second bottle but I'm saving it. This really cleaned the whole dishwasher and removed stuff from shelves, the sides, and bottom. Very happy with it, you can see in the before/after pic." —Vhorsen

Promising Review: "As a mother of a toddler who loves to 'bake,' play outdoors, and whose favorite foods are berries of all colors this product is indispensable. I have it on a monthly subscription. It gets out everything we throw at it." —Sarah Pramanik
Promising Review: "My barbecue has got to be around eight years old at this point and has never been cleaned except for the grates. Basically, the interior was black and the pic will show you what it looks like now. In order to get it this clean, I sprayed all of the interior and let it sit all night with the bbq cover closed, and then cleaned it in the morning." —kevin
Promising Review: "I don't have a ton of silver, but when I was organizing my cabinets I found that my silver pitcher and silver cream and sugar bowls were totally tarnished. I have many memories of helping my mom polish her silver every year or two. I enjoyed the task of it but hated the rotten egg smell that came with her old Tarn-X. So when I went on the hunt for some polish to spiff up my silver I was looking for something that would keep things simple and wouldn't stink up my apartment. I ordered these and got to work as soon as I got it in the mail. It was so satisfying to watch the tarnish wipe right off! It took me three to four wipes for the pitcher and two for each the cream and sugar bowls. It looks like I probably used 1/3 of the container. (Though the wipes were still very saturated, they had so much black/tarnish I would start a new rag. I'm not sure if it's recommended to just keep using it even when it gets all ruddy?)" —Lauren
Promising Review: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong Clorox 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! 😊" —Rebecca J Flores

Promising Review: "Seriously the BEST stain remover. I have a toddler and an infant and so far have been able to get every stain out. I've used this product for over a year. It's natural so I feel good about using it on the babies clothes, we try to minimize chemicals as much as possible. I've reordered this multiple times and given as gifts I love it so much." —Kass
