Promising review: "I have a 13-year-old small dog at home who occasionally would do accidents on the carpet. I applied the pad on a tough set-in stain area, followed the instructions — the stain spot cleared out quite well without any additional chemicals applied. I have attached a few pictures which are untouched to show the results. For tough stain like the area I tried, leaving the pad overnight definitely produces better results." —Gadgetman

It works with various wheel finishes including chrome, aluminum, steel, clear coated, PVD, painted, plastic wheel covers, magnesium, AND aftermarket wheels.
Promising review: "It will take one look from your friends to say 'Did you buy some new wheels?' This stuff is absolutely amazing. For the full effect, dismount your wheel, spray the back. Go do something for 10 minutes. Wash with water, no scrubbing needed. Turn the rim face up, do it again. Do the rest of your rims, and don't forget the tire protectant when you reinstall them. This stuff will handle salt, road tar, off-road dirt and mud — you get it dirty, it comes clean. Where was this stuff when I was racing off-road?" —johnfcon

Promising review: "Absolutely love the product!!!! I had over-a-month-old wine stain all over my dining chair and this Wine Away product removed the old wine stains from my chair. The chair is back to its original look, like new. Amazing product! I spilled red wine all over my chair but cleaning it was super easy. Take a look at the before and after pic. Very happy with the results." —~Gigi~

Promising review: "I bought this a few days ago and I'm already in love. I grew up in a house with stainless steel appliances and I have so many memories of my mom getting so mad that nothing cleaned the stainless steel. Now I live in an apartment with stainless-steel appliances and found myself getting mad too! I told her when I ordered this and she literally said 'Good luck. Nothing works.' Well, this does! I just texted her my before and after of my oven as proof. If I recommended this to my mom, I'd recommend it to you too!" —Allison M.

Promising review: "My new apartment's garbage disposal is slower than most just from the make of it. After using these packets, the garbage disposal cleans SO much quicker and, not to mention, watching the blue foam is beyond satisfying! 10/10 would recommend." —Cindy D

Promising review: "This product is worth every penny and goes a very long way. We had tired, oak floors that haven’t been refinished in over 50 years. They were dried out and washed out. This product took away decades in an hour with a few rags and a lot of elbow grease. One word of caution, floors are very slippery for a few days after. Be very careful walking around. Bonus, it smells amazing. It has a natural orange peel smell that is fresh and clean and not at all harsh or chemical. Highly, highly recommend." —GMD

Promising review: "Holy crap!! Are you skeptical when it comes to buying stuff online? ME TOO! That's why I figured all of these rave reviews were a crock of crap. I've seriously bought every kind of vacuum out there. But I have four cats and a golden retriever, so I was getting desperate! I believe the saying is…a picture is worth a thousand words. Check mine out! Of note: The 'before' picture was taken of my dog's bed AFTER it went through the washer and dryer. Look at all of that left-behind hair!!! And the 'after' picture was taken after only THREE MINUTES spent vacuuming her bed. I. Am. SOLD! BTW, I've NEVER taken the time to review a product before, just FYI." —Luka Chan

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: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach 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 Huges

Promising review: "The headlight on my passenger side was so yellow and cloudy that I actually had a driver get out of his car on a red light and come over to my car to tell me! (Yes, thank you, I know.) I decided to try this kit because of its high rating and lower price. It really works!! The instructions are easy to follow, with photos to show you how the end of each step is supposed to look. Don't be afraid of this if you have no help. I am a grandmother with (at the time) a bad shoulder, who had never done this before, and it turned out beautifully. So I consider it idiot-proof. All you need is a drill, and some auto masking tape, and even if you aren't drill-savvy, it's easy to do. I am so happy with the results, and highly recommend this kit!" —C. Ferry

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: "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: "I own a cleaning business and have spent a small fortune on the name brand. I clean everything from condo rentals to long-term lease/residential rentals and I have had to clean unimaginable NASTY, I mean 'pics or it didn't happen' kind of nasty, and these cut right through it. These work just as well as the name brand, if not better, and they seem to last a little longer!" —Keisha Marie

Promising review: "Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

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: "Whew! Where do I start? First of all, cleaning is how I love to relax and release. I heard about this brand from HeyFranHey on The Friend Zone podcast and of course, I immediately purchased a few bottles. This product is simply the best thing I have ever used to 1. clean my home 2. shift the energy around me to a much higher vibration! I haven't seen a multi-purpose cleaner deep clean all surfaces as effortlessly as Good Vibes products! The Frankincense & Myrrh scent is just amazing! I feel like I am blessing my home and every crevice of my sanctuary with this product. I can't thank you enough for creating such an incredible product that has literally changed my life. I also have eczema sometimes on my hands but this product does NOT irritate my skin so I don't have to always worry about wearing gloves all the time.

Promising review: "This stuff is a miracle. My husband and I just bought a house and there is very hard water. It looked like the previous owners never tried to get the hard water off the shower doors and walls. I tried vinegar and Dawn first — it didn't even scratch the surface. I tried Scrubbing Bubbles next and it was the same. I was feeling so defeated. I did some research and bought Bar Keepers Friend. With a grade 0000 steel wool piece, it took me about two hours to clean a quarter of the window in my shower. My arm also felt like it was going to fall off. I was determined, so I researched more. Then, I found this stuff. I was so anxious that I cracked it open minutes after receiving it in the mail. I applied it to my grade 0000 steel wool and started scrubbing away. BINGO! It took me about 15 minutes to clean the same size section as I did with the Bar Keepers Friend. I'm not gonna lie, this stuff needs some elbow grease but it definitely works. It took off what seems like years of hard water stains. It does have a smell to it but it's not super harsh and totally able to withstand. This is going on my 'always available in my house' list! I love this stuff!" —Tyrene A. Gapol

Promising review: "Follow the directions and it will work. On my first attempt I did not make a bead but spread it out thinly (trying to use as little as possible) and it didn’t work. The next time I made a bead and while it took two applications, it finally worked. It was amazing! I have tried for years to get rid of the mold in the caulking. I even replaced the caulking twice, but the mold would come back within a couple of weeks. For the first time in 10 years, the caulking around the top is clean, white, and free from any sign of mold. I tried it on a couple of other troublesome spots in the bathroom and kitchen, with the same results. Finally, a product that works on stubborn mold." —CLAUDE D'ESTREE

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney

Promising review: "I have kids (8 and 3 years old). They have destroyed my back seat. Spilled chocolate milk, vomit, melted chocolate, dropped fries, dropped ice cream, spilled Gatorade — you name it, it has been spilled in my back seat. I was to the point of accepting my backseat would forever be a disgusting wasteland. Then I stumbled upon this product and y'all...Y'ALL IT WORKS! I almost cried when I sprayed it on, ran a detail brush over it, wiped it away with the cloth, and the stains were GONE. No scrubbing for 30 minutes. No 'leave to set for 15 minutes.' No carpet cleaner required. Just spray, scrub, wipe, and it takes everything off. I am now cleaning EVERYTHING with this stuff. It is AMAZING! An absolute MUST for any parent. 100% will buy again." —Rachel

Promising review: "What they say is sooooooo true. I hate hate hate streaky windows. These towels leave NO streaks. Windows looked like there was no glass in them. Cleaned my black stove. Again no streaks. My stainless steel sparkles. I took one in the shower with me and wiped down the walls and tub. Oh, and I have a beige suede-like couch that my hubby leaves blackness on. Rubbed a damp towel on it and GONE. Even the furniture shampoo hadn't worked. These deserve 100 stars." —Bernie Wilbanks

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 a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." —Katherine Cheng

You could probably buy four or five bottles of Febreze for the cost of this stuff, but the competition won't work nearly as well as Rocco & Roxie. This stuff is AMAZING." —Brian

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 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: "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 15–20 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
