Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I’ve used others before but they didn’t last and weren’t as durable! Very easy to use! The perfect size. It reached all the way behind my dryer and you just slide it across and it gets everything out from under it! I’ve used it in various areas — the dryer, gaps between the oven, under the oven. Definitely worth buying!" —L.M.

Promising review: "This WET AND FORGET Shower cleaner is really amazing. I was completely skeptical that any cleaner would work without scrubbing but decided it was worth a try. I first tried it on my fiberglass shower stall and was surprised at how well it works. It is just so easy to spray on after a shower and as the name says, forget. Before my next shower, I just let the water run for a while and use the handheld sprayer to complete the rinsing process so I am not standing in the cleaner. I then tried it on my tile shower stall and it works equally well. I just wish that I could find cleaners for other chores that are so easy to use and that do such a good job." —Bichon Mom

Promising review: "I used this on my old scratched, water spot filled, stained up stainless kitchen sink. It cleaned that old sink and made it shine. It also left a coating in the sink that prevents water spots. It's very easy to use. I spread it in the sink and let it set for about 30 minutes, came back and rubbed it around a little, rinsed the sink. The spots and stains were gone. I towel dried it and it was shiny and clean. I now use it every week." —kc

Promising review: "These wipes are worth the money spent! I have tried other disinfecting wipes, rag/cleaner, etc. in the past. These wipes made the job much easier and faster! It only took one wipe to wipe my front load down. The biggest impact was cleaning the rubber surround! I could not believe how much easier this made the task. Just took minutes! Life-changing product!" —AmazSD

Promising review: "The instructions are really simple, toss one tablet in to clean your washer once a month. I appreciate the ease of how it freshens my washing machine. I make sure that when I use it, I also clean out the bottom trap that becomes stinky, and I wipe the rubber seal rings with bleach to make sure all of the mold that could build-up doesn’t get much of a chance to start. Every time I use this, someone comes to tell me there’s a problem with the machine because the Affresh tablet, which is pretty chunky and heavy is going ‘clunk, clunk, clunk’ in the washer and they think something is wrong. But there is never any problem and it always does a good job of refreshing my machine. This is a product I’ve trusted for a while since it does a good job, and I appreciate the way my washer is cleaned after its use. One of my favorites that I added to my Subscribe and Save plan because of that!" —Marina

Promising review: "This. Stuff. Is. Amazing. Just buy it. I have never loved a cleaning product so much. Just moved into a new house and my oven and stove both set the fire alarm off every time. No product (organic or chemical) could get them fully clean except this stuff. I was ready to buy a whole new oven because I couldn’t stand it. I have now gone on a cleaning spree and have used this to remove the rust on my kitchen sink, marker from a dresser (darn kids), grout in the bathroom. The list goes on. I would probably still use a Magic Eraser on painted wood/walls because this is pretty abrasive but other people have done it and had success. The smell/scent is so minimal. Didn’t even notice it. It’s so easy to use. Somethings will require more elbow grease than others but that should be expected with any cleaning product. AND this is 99% natural and non-toxic! This part seems too good to be true because of how well it cleans." —NYC Livin

Promising review: "I bought this to keep our new stainless fridge clean. I'd tried 409 and Windex, but they both left steaks. This stuff is great! Not only does it clean and polish, it removed the sticker residue from the price tag and leaves NO streaks! I was worried keeping a stainless fridge looking new would be difficult, but this makes it so easy. Spray on and use the microfiber towel to wipe with the 'grain' of the metal, or even just use small circular movements, it doesn't matter either way comes up shiny. It doesn't leave any residue and resists finger prints. So happy I found this product." —Amber Morales

Promising review: "I've tried the other dishwasher cleaners. Some require high temperature water to melt a wax plug. I don't want to add more chemicals that will stick to the surfaces. Others don't require melting wax, but they leave a cloying 'fragrance' that lingers for several washes. This product was so easy to use: cut the tablet from its sealed pouch and drop it into the detergent chamber inside the dishwasher and just press start. That SIMPLE! When it was done, the inside appeared to sparkle. Most of the gunk that had built up around the door and all the surfaces were clean. AND there was no lingering cloying odor. It smelled like nothing. Perfect." —David

Promising review: "Holy cow I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, in my naïve thinking, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. Little did I know that there was an actual cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. So of course, I had to try it. Very simple instructions, literally takes 5 minutes and some hot water and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. The smaller bag lasted me about 6 weeks, as I didn't feel the need the clean the disposal weekly like the packaging recommended. But let me say that anytime I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of those packs in the disposal and the smell was GONE! Plus the blue foam bubbling through the sink was amusing to watch ;-). Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

Promising review: "I don't often write a review of a product. But this was so impressive, I thought I should let others know. We have a set of vinyl outdoor chairs that were constantly covered with mildew. When we were feeling ambitious, we'd take the time to power wash the chairs, which worked pretty well but was a lot of work. The problem was that a couple of days later, the mildew was back almost as bad a before. With this mildew stain remover, we sprayed the chairs, let them sit a few minutes, and hosed off with a regular garden hose. Easy. And they were cleaner than they ever got using the power washer. When we put the chairs away two months later, they were still clean." —Christine A. Simonson

Promising review: "Every now and then a product comes along and performs SO WELL it's surprising. THIS is one of those products. I don't know what they put in this cleaner but it works exceptionally well. Tried it on our big screen (82") TV and it cleaned some tough stains off and left no streaks, none! Spray on — wipe off! EASY! Tough stains? One of our dogs turns his head back and forth quickly sometimes. When he does he occasionally flings a little saliva that landed on the TV and hardened before I saw it. This made light work of it. Did I mention it doesn't STREAK!? It is the first glass or screen cleaner I've seen that doesn't streak. So I used it on all the monitors in my home office and again it cleaned exceptionally well leaving no sign of streaks anywhere. I already have a second 'kit'. This stuff is the bom-diggety of screen cleaners! Very highly recommended!" —D. M. B.

"I love this item so much I have it on auto delivery! I never want to be out if this! This product makes cleaning my glass top stove so easy and it cleans it perfectly! A small amount goes a long way. I smear a small amount on my stove top, leave it for a few minutes, and wipe it clean! This even took off burnt apple butter and sugar from the stove. Do not hesitate to buy this product, you will not regret it!" —mychele76

Promising review: "This stuff really works! When I moved into my house, the caulk around the bathtub was stained. It was really dark, almost black in some spots. I tried multiple cleaners and none of them made a noticeable difference. I bought this after reading reviews. I put the gel on at night. It's very easy to apply, just squeeze it on. I let it sit overnight. The next morning I checked on it and my caulk was completely white! It looks great. I just rinsed it off and was done. So easy I wish I would've tried this product a long time ago. I highly recommend." —Lori

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well it broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I have these dark stains on my shower floor that I’ve never been able to get out and was thinking something 'natural' wouldn’t be heavy-duty enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side and it did an amazing job with only a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." —Katherine Cheng

Promising review: "OMG!! I'm just speechless. Our tub drain was a bit slow so I decided to try this thing without much expectation. Stuck the plastic all the way down, move the thing a little, and pulled it out. I was in so much shock at how much hair came out. It's probably all the hair that went down the drain over the past seven years...literally you could make a wig out of it! Surprised I am not bald! So worth the money!!! Definitely recommend it to everyone." —Kelly

Did it myself — a section at a time, but did a large home in two days and the results were amazing. I consider myself a 'clean' person, vacuuming and mopping several times a week. The dirt these brushes got up from my floors was amazing (and disgusting). Recommended them to my friends that night at dinner!" —Mary

Promising review: "We have ridiculously hard water. The Culligan guy who tested it was surprised it doesn’t come out of the faucet as a solid. My dishes, especially my Pyrex bowls and casserole dishes were almost white from the buildup. Nothing ever seemed clean. I tried this, and it’s an absolute miracle. My dishes are clean again. See the comparison in the picture — bowl on the left is 'clean', it was washed without the Finish booster. The bowl on the right was washed with. I’m totally not kidding, it completely does what it says!" —CB

Promising review: "I'm really disappointed I lived without this product for so long. I'm a clean freak and I'm always concocting ways to get stains out of things when I'm not steaming tile for fun. However, I have an overpriced wool carpet that my dogs have destroyed with accidents, bully sticks, and just general recklessness. Moreover, my kids have taken to tossing all sorts of heavily colored foods on the floor for the pups. I gave up on this rug ever been clean again. I've had it professionally cleaned and tried a dozen things myself... and no difference. So I thought I'd try this assuming that it wouldn't work on the stain-determined rug but that'd I use it on my less tenacious ones. I sprayed it on, reading the instructions saying that I didn't need to scrub it, etc. And minutes later, freaking magic. My very pale blue and white rug is virginal. I admit that I did rub it in a little on the harsher stains/discoloration but there were plenty of areas that didn't require any follow-up rubbing. I'm sincerely blown away and just ordered a second bottle. The price of this product is minimal if you're looking to make your rug/carpet like new again so I would absolutely recommend trying it. I don't think I've ever been this impressed with anything I've ever purchased. I feel cheated for not knowing about this sooner." —bubbleslovesoap

Promising review: "We have uneven tile floors in our kitchen and the hallways. I’m in a house with all boys — my husband, my teenager, and my 9-year-old... even our dog is male. Over the years both my mom and I have literally been on the floors scrubbing with soap and sponges as a regular mop gets caught on the unevenness of the tile. I bought this electric spin scrubber for myself and my mom came over so we decided to try it. We immediately noticed a difference in the tile AND the grout after the initial run-through (picture posted). So blessed for my mom, she’s doing a great job! LOL! I love that you can use this standing up." —Josalyn Ramirez

Promising review: "Sharing our nasty before picture so you can really see the difference! Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom, and scum and dirt cakes on there so easily. The only way I've been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch, I've spent hours and all it ever got was somewhat clean — never enough for me to want to take a real bath in it. This stuff is expensive but with the good reviews, I decided to try it. It works amazingly!! I sprayed it on (it came with a great spray nozzle and a lid) and left it for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles (I believe a soft brush would have even worked) and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing the entire tub and walls, it was cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost, like, melted off. It smells pleasant, it's not crazy strong smelling but in an enclosed space I still felt the need to wear a mask while cleaning. The before picture is how the tub has looked forever and normally looks if cleaned with any cleaner/brush. The white spot towards the left with the brush next to it is where I tried a little area first. The second picture is after 20 minutes of work and I'm definitely taking a bath instead of a shower tonight!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "These towels were expensive, but worth every penny. I just bought a new white car and had tar and bugs on the paint. I washed the car and the tar just smeared. I thought I was going to have to buy some terrible chemicals to get the tar off the paint. I used the nano towels to dry the car and the tar just rubbed right off. I was totally surprised at how easy and fast the towels took off the tar. They also cleaned off all the bug splatters from the front of the car with very little effort. I then used the damp towels to wipe down the inside of the car. They took off all the dust without smearing. They dried the windows fast and easy with no smears. The four towels were plenty to dry my whole car, an SUV. They washed great and there was no tar left on the towels or anything else in the wash. I love these towels!" —BPM

Coffee tastes so much better now with a clean machine. I highly recommend this product to anyone that owns Keurig coffee maker." —Jackie

Promising review: "I bought it to clean the tiles and grout in the kitchen. My boyfriend inherited this house from his mother and the tiles and grout had not been cared for properly in years. I knew the grout was supposed to be white because of other areas that had been covered with rugs. I did as the instructions said — sprayed on and let sit for a few minutes. I used a wire brush on the grout and a softer scrub brush on the tile. WOW! I’m super impressed at how well this works! The tiles look brand new and bright! The grout is CLEAN! The cleaner cut through years of dirt, grease, and oil! Also, for those of you with sensitive noses, this stuff hardly has a smell at all." —AmazonAddict

This product does take a lot of elbow grease but considering the alternative would be replacing your floors or paying the big bucks to have a professional do it — that doesn't seem so bad.
Promising review: "Used this on 30-year-old wooden kitchen cabinets. These cabinets have not been regularly oiled and cleaned with wood cleaner and the ones beneath the sink suffer from the inevitable water damage associated with that location. In an effort to spruce them up a bit without resorting to the expense of new cabinets, I thought to try this product because of all the rave reviews as well as convincing photos. Initially, when you put the product on, it looks significantly better. I was skeptical about how it would look after I wiped it off. When I did, however, there was very little to remove. The wood must’ve been extremely dry because it did absorb quite a bit. I slopped a lot on there too. The resulting finish looked richer and deeper than before. It’s already substantially improved the look and the worn areas are no longer noticeable. It’s clearly worth considering if you have an older wooden piece with a finish you’d like to quickly and easily improve yourself or if you have a similar situation with your cabinets." —Shopper X
