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 naive 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 five minutes and some hot water and VOILÀ! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. The smaller bag lasted me about six 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

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $3.98.

This set also comes with nonslip straps that'll prevent your "seats" from shifting out of place. It's also available in a bunch of colors, in case you want to do a total makeover, as shown in the review picture above.

Promising review: "I could not believe the cover in the plastic bag would fit my huge couch but I pushed ahead. The stretch is unbelievable. Then the frosting was IT IS VELVET. Plush, soft, and holds tight. The downside for me is I wish I had purchased a light blue rather than teal." —Ann Correll

34 Things That'll Deliver On Their Promises (And We Have Photo Proof)

1. A Mini Makeup Eraser because it wipes away lipstick, foundation, and mascara with JUST WATER (I repeat, JUST WATER!) — exactly like the full-size version. You'll be happy you didn't have to use a bunch of cotton pads, micellar water, or foamy cleansers to take a day's worth of makeup off.

2. Accent magnets that'll give your bare garage door an easy, minimal-effort upgrade without any nails or drilling. (You just have to stick them on and that's it!) Everyone will think you installed new garage doors when you just placed these decorative strips on them.

3. A vegan ingrown hair oil for irritated bumps that won't go away after shaving 😑. Gently rub it on your underarms, legs, and bikini line post-showering to help soften skin and reduce the appearance of razor burn.

4. A cleaning paste that's popular on TikTok and will save you so much time — it'll tackle stubborn stains on your stove, bathroom sink, kitchen tiles, and more messy surfaces at home. No more scrubbing and wiping for hours.

5. A snout soother stick for your doggo's chapped nose. This vegan balm contains hempseed oil, grape-seed oil, jojoba oil, and vitamin E that help heal crusty and dry spots. Rub onto their snout two to three times a day for some relief.

6. A blind-spot mirror so you can see if there's another car coming before you back out of a parking spot or switch lanes on a highway. It rotates 360 degrees and you can easily adjust it to fit different-sized car mirrors. No more second-guessing yourself when you're driving.

7. A wow-worthy grout cleaner that'll probably make you believe in magic, because it'll remove years and years of gross dirt and grime from floor tiles.

9. And a pair of AirPod ear hooks because your AirPods are always falling out at the most inconvenient times (raise your hand if you've lost an AirPod while working out 😒). Slide these cushy hooks onto each AirPod and they'll stay in place.

10. A cat carrier that's ~purrfect~ for carrying your kitty and grooming them on the go. With an adjustable Velcro collar and Velcro ports, your feline can poke their head out and stay comfy while you take care of pet parent duties. Plus, it'll be less of a hassle to trim their nails or brush them.

12. A Blume acne oil that'll help reduce face breakouts without sacrificing hydration. Packed with blue tansy, black cumin seed, rose hip, and tamanu oils, this skin treatment helps reduce the appearance of acne scars and can act as a shield against future pimples.

13. A back shaver for the baby hairs that are nearly impossible to get rid of on your back. You'll feel like you're mowing the lawn, except said lawn is all the peach fuzzies you'll finally say buh-bye to after this gadget removes them from your upper and lower back.

14. A set of thick velvet slipcovers that'll instantly turn your dull sofa into a beautiful seating area. If your couch is covered in stains or looks a little worn, just place a couple of these on top for a jaw-dropping transformation that requires minimal effort. 😲

17. A Denman Hair Brush so helpful for your hair routine because it detangles and defines curls. It has rows of sculpted nylon pins that'll work through knots and shape ringlets, leaving you with softer and smoother strands.

18. A set of packing cubes to help you organize everything you packed in a crammed suitcase. Pants, shirts, dresses...whatever you're wearing for vacay, these compact containers will hold them all without taking up a ton of space.

19. Reusable toe covers with over 2,000 positive reviews for a reason: These babies help protect blisters, corns, and ingrown toenails while they heal. You won't have to expose your toes or deal with flimsy bandages during the process.

20. A pack of window fly traps because pesky insects won't leave your home. Each clear adhesive sticks to a window and easily captures bugs (flies, gnats, and more), so you don't have to chase 'em down with a swatter or paper towel.

21. A top-rated Essence mascara that's adored by thousands of reviewers for it's lash-enhancing abilities (no falsies required). Add more drama and length to your lashes with this formula that'll sculpt 'em and won't feel clumpy.

22. And a tube of L'Oréal Voluminous Primer Mascara because it'll give you fuller lashes without expensive extensions. It contains fibers that help lengthen lashes and goes on white, so you can seamlessly apply mascara right after.

23. Adhesive grippers if you have rugs that feel more like Slip ’N Slides. Stick these on the bottom of them so you don't wipe out the next time you're walking across the floor. You'll def score an "A" for keeping your rugs and carpets in place at home.

24. An all-purpose power scrubber cleaning kit, so you can get rid of gross grime stuck in shower door tracks, tubs, and sinks. Use the kit's three brushes with a cordless drill to clean different surfaces in your bathroom.

28. A pet hair remover that'll immediately roll away lots of fur on your bedding and couch cushions. If your pet loves to leave a fluffy mess around your home, this tool will be game changing for a deep clean (and score you extra-credit points for tidying).

29. Some surface cover to make your boring countertops look way better than they did before. Everyone will be asking, "did you redo part of your kitchen?!" when IRL, you just stuck on this marble-print adhesive and didn't get expensive renovations.

30. Some Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color-Correcting Treatment because it neutralizes red spots on your face and shields skin from the sun with SPF 30. Oh, and it's formulated for combination, dry, oily, and normal skin types!
