Promising review: "At work we have stainless-steel coffee pots with a plastic top that no one cleans and they are often left on for hours at a time. The bottoms got very gross and someone tried to clean them with hot water and soap, but not much happened. I bought these, added hot water and two tablets (since they are bigger than a water bottle) and let the pots sit over night. So much came off with no scrubbing! I then soaked again for about another hour with two more and almost all of the grime was gone. I did scrub just a tiny bit to get all the stains out with a brush I had and you can see the difference between the before and after! They are almost like new! I did this on two pots and we were all amazed by the results. Ordering more so that we can clean regularly since it’s so easy!" —Heather

This compact, easy-to-carry tool works on all kinds of pesky bites: mosquitoes, bees, wasps, biting flies and more.
Promising review: "Them darn skeeters love me. Although this gadget doesn't deter me from being bitten, I can now at least have some relief by suctioning out their nastiness. The itchiness was gone instantly and the swelling went down. I even scratched the area I was bit and there was no itchy sensation. I used the small end since it was just a mosquito bite and it worked really well. I only bought one to test and now I will get a few more to have around." —RockMyZendotcom

Promising review: "We've been easing our way out of non-natural products in the house and my fiance was very weary of using natural laundry soap. Now he's always asking when is the next sale so we can make sure we always have extra on deck. I love the smell and how our clothes no longer have that random chemical-y smell." —Breezy

Promising review: "I'm a little embarrassed to write this review; it's been ~6 years since my last oven cleaning... After seeing the results, I couldn't help but spread the word. Sure, it took some beer, a little John Mayer, and a lot of elbow grease, but I got the job done, thanks to this handy little product. It did require two treatments; however, given the circumstances, this product accomplished quite a feat in just an hour. The pictures speak for themselves." —William Fredericks

Promising review: "WOW I am shocked. I’ve been traveling a lot and have been having more hormonal breakouts. I get painful red pimples. I’ve used this on a stubborn side mouth/chin pimples And the redness and pain has gone down significantly! With only a couple uses. I am blown away. This product is amazing. Would recommend. Even to try, with this price and what I have seen it is worth it!!" —Mimixoxolove

Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks - only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS

Promising review: "Wow, this really cleaned the Keurig. I was grossed out by all the gunk that came out during the first use. After I removed the cleaning K-cup for the second rinse, the water was much cleaner. I cleaned it 3X times until water ran clear, which is not needed but I wanted to ensure there was no residue left. Happy Keurig Drinking!" —Saywhat4you

Promising review: "To say the least, I was pretty apprehensive about using what is advertised as a 'Colossal Foot Rasp.' Pretty terrifying labeling if you ask me. But HOLY CRAP this thing works. I had to do a before and after shot. It looks photoshopped but it absolutely is not!" —Derrick

Promising review: "At the beginning of this pandemic I decided to get this wonderful product! We are a clinic that continually is dealing with treating covid patients and swabbing them out in their cars. Our doctor and I were both so impressed with this product immediately. I referred several other health care coworkers to also buy this product to eliminate fog from our glasses and goggles. They too were impressed by the prompt arrival of this item but what a dream it was to use. The glasses remain crystal clear, with no retouch during the day and no sensitivity to the product." —Ms. Stephanie

Each roll includes 20 reusable sheets that can simply be washed once soiled and last for approximately six months.
Promising review: "I use a shameful amount of paper towels and these make feel so much less wasteful! I have a tiny little bin on my kitchen counter that I put the used ones in and then transfer to the laundry bin when full. I put them in the dryer even though it says not to, they are fine. They turn to more of a felt like texture after being washed and dried but still work great. Also I store the loose clean ones in an empty Kleenex box (long rectangular kind) by folding them the same way tissues are in a box. This is a nice way to dispense them once off the roll." —CH

Promising review: "This product was just what I was looking for! I love my wine and needed to find a wine stopper that keeps my wine tasting just as good as the day I opened the bottle and this one does just that. This stainless-steel wine stopper is made of high quality materials and easy to use. It came with good packaging and super quick. I would recommend this product!" —Gnoecker

Promising review: "I have saved SOOOOOO much money on drain cleaner because of this. My husband has THICK curly hair and other hair trappers were failing to catch half of it. So I was spending $10-20 a month on drain cleaner. Now, we're keeping the drain clear of hair." —Cecillia J

Promising review: "Trying to eat healthy. More fruits, vegetables and greens. The quality of fresh produce begins to degrade after two or three days but I'm not willing to shop more than once a week. These Rubbermaid containers really solved that problem.. I was skeptical. I purchased fresh leaf lettuce and raspberries, rinsed them thoroughly, spun the lettuce dry and placed the items in the food saver containers. Eight days later the lettuce is still fresh. The berries remained fresh for five days until they were all eaten." —M. Hughes

Promising review: "I’ve just had to replace a charging cable for my iPad - the wires broke within the insulation, within a inch of the connector/plug end. Then I found out about these spiral coil flexible silicone wire protectors. They keep the wire cable from being stressed from bending. I bought a bunch of these and have put them on both ends of every charging cable for every device, iPad, cellphone, etc that I own. I would recommend that you do so too!!!" —Richard Virchow

Promising review: "I kept debating about buying this. I'm trying to stick to a tight student budget and wasn't sure if spending money on a little tool like this would end up saving me money in the long run. I ended up getting about a month's worth of foundation out of a bottle that I would otherwise have considered to be "empty" — and that's just one bottle so far! For me, totally worth it." —Reviewtoo

Promising review: "For years I have just been using scissors to trim my wicks but the trimmed pieces would often fall onto my candle wax making them look awful. The trimmer keeps the trimmed portion contained so this doesn’t happen. I don’t really use the bell shaped snuffer often but the tool that you use to bend the wick over into the hot candle wax to snuff it out without all the smoke? Seriously, I’ve been missing out. Tools you didn’t know you needed but they make burning candles so much more enjoyable. Handy storage box, they look nice and seem to be good quality so far." —CeKaRi

Promising review: "Best product! I wish I had thought to take before pictures! My house was built in the early 1960s and the bathroom grout was becoming discolored in spots. I had used every product on the market before buying this pen to see if I could brighten the grout with no luck. It worked throughout the shower with more product to go! Easy to clean up and lasts a while!" —Kelli

Promising review: "I have lost two buttons on two pairs of pants in the past week and these fixed the problem in literally two minutes. The fixed buttons are solid and this works as well as sewing on new buttons. I can never find my sewing materials, since I use them so rarely and these are much more convenient than sewing on a button." —W. Lang

Promising review: "When we bought our previously owned condo, all three of the toilets had a permanent dark ring. I must have tried at least six different cleaning products that claimed to eliminate rings. None worked. I was actually considering buying new toilets as the ring was embarrassing to me. A friend recommended the pumice toilet bowl ring remover and I was prepared to be disappointed again. But it worked perfectly. The ring is gone on all three toilets and it only took a few minutes per toilet. I don't know when I have ever been so totally satisfied with a product. It just saved me a whole lot of money and I am no longer embarrassed by the appearance of my toilets." —lynn mcdonald

Promising review: "I remodeled my kitchen with a new floor and wall paint. My cabinets were looking a little shabby but were in great condition except for looking 25 years old.

Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny but since I tend to kill them anyways I figured I would give them a try and save some money. I put one of these spikes in each plant and they all looked so much healthier and happier after just a couple days. I also added one spike to the only houseplant that I've had for years without killing (I was beginning to think it was artificial) the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product and it was a great price." —Victoria

Super nice quality materials used, and one of my favorite convenience factors is that it comes with a car adapter!

Awesome value!" —Trista

My ends were really getting ragged and I just did not have 60 dollars to pay someone to do what I hoped I could do on my own. I watched the videos, asked my boyfriend to double-check what I was doing as I did it and saved myself a good chunk of money. Easy to understand, easy to use and most importantly, easy on my wallet." —minta

Project Qurls is a queer-owned business created by Madin Lopez in Los Angeles, CA selling a variety of hair-care products.
Promising review: "This is my new favorite detangler. First of all, the smell is amazing! Throughout the day, I’ll get a wiff of the scent and ask myself, 'what smells so good?' Then I realize it’s my hair. Secondly, my hair gets the worst tangles. After a few days it all becomes a big knotted ball that’s painful to comb out. This detangler was able to make combing out my hair tolerable. It worked well and made my curls bouncy. This is my new go-to product!" —Sabine

Promising review: "Why didn't I discover this earlier??? I am not a fan of cooking, really, but I have to with a family of five. This helps cut down on a mundane process. You know you're an adult when...you get excited about kitchen gadgets. There are reviews that say it won't fit over pots or pans with 'lips' but I've used it just fine with those types. You have to just really wiggle it in there slowly. It's snug, but you want that! Otherwise, you'll end up with a mess if it fits easily, because that means that it will slide out easily also." —Jade Fox

Promising review: "Works well for shredding larger portions of meat, like pork. Plastic appears to be of higher quality. Sufficient room in the opening for most finger and hand sizes. The pointed tips shouldn't cause injury unless you're careless. I'd highly recommend the use of quality protective gloves; you're not only dealing with the mess of shredding itself but also, most likely, some elevated temperature food." —Legardi11
