    Promising review: "It’s a miracle in a bottle. My German Shepherd mix decided to pull a black fountain pen out of my purse and chew it to pieces on my beige carpet while I was sleeping — this cleaner lifted the stain and now it’s like the devastation my dog caused never happened! As soon as I saw it lifting the ink, I got back on Amazon and bought more bottles. I will never let myself run out of this. I’ve become that weird lady who goes around singing the praises of a cleaning product. No regrets." —L. Logan

    Get it from Amazon for $11.57.

    This all-purpose and vegan paste is great for removing rust, hard water stains, grease, and more messes around home! To use, just apply it to a surface with a damp cloth, gently rub it in, rinse it off with water, and polish the area with a dry cloth. 

    Promising review: "Amazing product. No chemicals, no toxic odor. Shower wall hard water stains completely wiped out. I used other products on my 10-year-old oven door and it never came as clean. First try, I wiped on, wiped off. (Recommended at least five minutes.) Second try, I applied Pink and left it over night. Baked on grit was softened enough I could use a spoon to scrap. End result...BIG DIFFERENCE. By far the best versatile, nontoxic, and gentle abrasive product." —ap808

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    Promising review: "I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain and literally five seconds later, I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh-so-rewarding job." —Amazon Customer

    5. A car headlight restoration kit because your cloudy headlights will look clearer and cleaner, thanks to a polisher you can attach to a drill and a gentle headlight coating to give you professional-level results. Goodbye to oxidation and scratches that've been on your vehicle's headlights way too long.

    This kit comes with Meguiar’s PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish, a Headlight Coating, two finishing discs, a wool pad, a sanding pad, and a foam applicator pad. 

    Promising review: "Jeez! My headlights haven’t looked this great since I bought my 2003 Toyota truck! The process was much easier than I anticipated since my lens had heavy oxidation. Everything you need is in the box except for water, a bucket, and some elbow grease. At first I thought the product was not going to work as I thought but then I applied the the Plast-X cleaner and polish — stunning results! Although they only last about a year, I feel an annual re-cleaning of the headlights is warranted and should be even easier if done regularly. I have enough left-over product to do at least one more cleaning (possibly two more)." —Gregory J. Owczarski

    Get the kit on Amazon for $24.46.

    6. A multi-purpose surface spray to get goo, grease, and debris off of stainless steel, shower tiles, and glass stovetops that need a deep clean. All you have to do is spray, wipe, and that's it! No scrubbing, scraping, or applying layers of cleaning products to get surfaces in better shape.

    Promising review: "Best cleaning product ever! I cook every single day, so you can imagine what my stove goes through. I tried so many products, and even home remedies, to clean my stove top, but was always only able to clean some stains off. But this product cleaned up every single bit of it, with no streaks left behind! Also worked wonders on my stainless steel fridge — made it look brand new! Definitely recommend." —Walmart Customer

    Get it from Walmart for $4.94.

    Promising review: "I used my first few tabs on my insulated water bottles to just wash/refresh and I didn’t realize how amazing these bad boys really are. We used them in an insulated metal travel coffee cup thing that was stained black inside and after soaking about two hours in hot water, it looked completely brand new again. I don’t know what kind of black magic is packed into these little tablets, but they’re totally worth every penny." —jtobair

I don't know what is in here that makes it so amazing, but for water spots, glass, tile, and sinks it is great! I've already bought and gifted three bottles to my friends because I love it so much. I'm like a walking infomercial about it too because I will climb into their showers and show them. That's how exciting this stuff is. Worth every penny." —mel

    Promising review: "Holy smokes, this is a miracle cleaner! My crazy dogs hate the rain and they have one spot that they always go on when they decide they are not going outside. I have cleaned the spot probably 100 times. I cleaned this area one time with this cleaner and my spot steam cleaner and it is completely gone! The stain and smell are 100 percent gone, not just covered up like before, completely and absolutely gone." —PLLane

    Promising review: "This little machine has to be packed with magic! Lightweight, but works better than any carpet cleaner I've ever used, big or small! I have a little old dog who isn't able to control her urine like she used to. I used this cleaner with Bissell Pet Pro Urine Eliminator Oxy formula, and all the stains (old and new) were gone. The clean water reservoir doesn't hold a whole lot and has to be filled pretty frequently depending on the area size that you're treating. The dirty water reservoir is bigger and doesn't need to be emptied until you've filled the clean water reservoir several times. Definitely a great carpet cleaner and worth every penny. Small size makes it easy to store." —M. Davis

    Promising review: "Literally one of the best items I’ve bought off of Amazon. I have an English bulldog and now that summer is approaching, he’s shedding his winter coat. I let this baby go one round through my kitchen and all the hair is gone! It was able to pick up all the hair in one round while it would’ve taken me two rounds of sweeping! Don’t waste your time on other models and buy this one!" —hayden

    Promising review: "I put this stuff on and holy moly did it work. All the dry spots just absolutely disappeared. The wood looks gorgeous — like new. I was so sure that I was going to have to do some sanding if I wanted the wood to ever look good again, so to say this saved me a ton of labor is an understatement." —Amazon Customer

    Note: This isn't recommended for large blinds or straight blinds, so for those you may want to try a bigger duster, such as this fluffy microfiber one

    Promising review: "I'll be honest, I ordered this because of the price. After reviewing several other options and having been disappointed with previous dusters I've had, I figured why spend more money on something that isn't going to work? So I ordered the least expensive option, but wow does this little tool rock! It's very easy to use and clean. It does a fantastic job of cleaning and dusting the blinds and gets *all* of the crud off of them. My blinds haven't been this clean since the day they were first installed. Very happy with purchase." —Amazon Shopper

    Promising review: "I love these sponges. I use them in the kitchen, the bathroom, and on the sides of the pool. But the use I like the best is to clean my vinyl wood floors. They get the spots and footprints off quickly without damaging the floor. I've use mops but they didn't remove what everyone had tracked in without pressing down really hard.

    Promising review: "This product is amazing. I used this for the grout lines, and I used the corner attachment for corners. It was amazing. It got gunk and grime off the grout that has been there for years. I even used these to scrub the cabinet doors, around the toilet, etc. and they were really, really great. You have to put the right amount of pressure on the brush, but once you do, it's *wonderful.*" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.40.

    Promising review: "This product works! I followed the directions, which are super easy, and was very satisfied to see the gross slime and muck that was removed. You put the entire packet down your disposal, and the magic happens quickly! Very powerful and successful cleaning! The scent was not what I would call overpowering, but the inside of the disposal is super clean, confirmed. These will definitely be a cleaning staple for me. The garbage disposal runs much easier and more quietly now. When things fall into the disposal, my hands are not covered in gross slimy stuff anymore." —JSullivanJ

    BuzzFeed/Maitland Quitmeyer

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer loves this little tool! She said: "Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during this almost-year of WFH full time. And it's made me revisit the state of some of my loungewear. Take for example, this college sweatshirt I wear all the time — as evidenced by the rather EXTENSIVE pilling all over it. So when I saw this pumice-esque sweater stone (it's made from upcycled car windshield glass — how cool is that?!), I decided it was worth the try. We've featured electric pill removers (mostly the fan-favorite Conair one) many times, and they really work. But sometimes you're looking for a little more detail or control — that's where this stone comes in handy. I was able to navigate around the contours of the logo on my sweatshirt with ease, removing pills using the corner or the entire flat bottom in a few quick strokes. It truly took no time at all — the sweatshirt was done in mere minutes." Read more of her Celsious Sweater Pill Remover review.

    Promising review: "Just thought I would be doomed to a fingerprint-stained fridge for the rest of my small children's time at home. I have tried everything from sprays to special microfiber cloths, and there were always shadows of where the handprints and fingerprints had been. The very first time I used this, it cleaned off two years of three kids’ fingerprint smudges that I thought were permanent! It took a matter of seconds. Ah-mazing." —ZMomUtah

    Promising review: "I cook a lot. My husband bought me all stainless-steel skillets about four years ago. I use the Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge at least three times a day every day cleaning those pots and skillets. I have never had a single scratch in on any of them using the nonscratch sponge. Plus, instead of going through a box of steel pads weekly, this sponge outlasts all of them and saves me money. Also, when I clean my stove top, I use the same Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge and it has never scratched or harmed the paint on my stove (or refrigerator!).

    Promising review: "The photos speak for themselves. When we bought our home there was no water softener and years of iron build up. We tried so many things on our shower. Nothing worked. We were convinced we’d be stuck until we renovated the bathroom. The Iron Out worked wonders. I still can’t believe it. We had to let it sit for about an hour. It then dissolved and wiped right off. Definitely use in a ventilated area if possible." —M. Gilardi

    You can reach up to 12 feet with this kit, which comes with three dusting attachments!

    Promising review: "This is exactly what I needed to clean the vents on my ceiling! I needed a retractable duster that could store easily in our small apartment, but is also sturdy enough to reach 15 feet without being hard to control. With this product I can literally sit on my couch and clean the vent from across the room (only joking, but pretty impressed). The attachments all fit well on the pole, and the angle attachment is great since our ceiling is angled." —Stephanie B.

    Promising review: "My little bundle of joy (I say that with extreme sarcasm), decided to use my sofa as her personal pee pad twice last week. I tried and tried to get the odor of urine out to no avail. But then I read the review of this spray and decided to give it a try. I followed the directions and it worked. It actually works. The smell and the stain are gone! Now, I can keep my sofa (and my dog too I guess😊). —AJ
