    34 Products With Before And After Photos Sure To Make You Say, “That’s Disgusting. Give It To Me”

    Prepare for some very nauseating, yet oddly satisfying pics.

    1. Baby Foot Exfoliating Peel, a cult-fave that's SO effective in getting rid of old, calloused skin on your feet, the before and after photos will probably be seared into your memory for life.

    To use, slip on the booties for one hour, wash away the leftover solution (there are 16 natural extracts), and then wait patiently as it takes five to seven days before your feet shed like a snake (!). At the end, you'll be left with moisturized, baby-soft feetsies.

    Promising review: "WOW. Just WOW! I rarely take the time to write product reviews, but, honey, this stuff is the real deal. My feet were gross. Thick skin, crusty-looking. I have tried using blades myself to no avail. Then a friend told me about this stuff, so I decided to try it. I showered and then put on the 'boots' and taped them closed and covered my feet with two layers of socks so the gel wouldn't seep out. I waited an hour, then took them off. They didn't look any different. So, I patiently waited to see some action. Today is the third day and I cannot believe my eyes! The skin is literally coming off in big sheets. If you are the kind of person who loves peeling skin and wants to see a drastic difference, you should buy this stuff. I love it so much I want to buy it for people. Even people I don't like. LOL. I know a lot of people with gross feet, who I think this would be perfect for. Yes. TMI, I know. But this is really amazing stuff. Don't walk. RUN and buy this stuff." —Annie

    Get it from Amazon for $25.

    2. A hefty pumice stone on a stick prepared to absolutely *obliterate* stubborn stains left behind by weeks (months?...years???) of lime scale, hard water, calcium, iron, and rust, because your automatic toilet bowl cleaner is, in short, no match on its own.

    Promising review: "We rented a home and the toilets were disgusting. Someone suggested a pumice stone and let me tell you it was amazing!! The picture is after just five minutes with the stone. I tried bleach, every toilet bowl cleaner available, and countless hours of scrubbing to no avail...but this stone worked instantly! I will be buying several more!! The stone does dissolve when scrubbing so you need a couple. I was able to do almost two toilets completely that looked awful with one stone!!" —Crista

    Get it from Amazon for $10+ (also available in packs of two or six).

    3. A tried-and-true carpet cleaner and spot remover to clean the spills and stains from all the mishaps you could possibly get into: think stains from spaghetti, coffee, pets, shoes, soda, and more. TBH this stuff *may* be made of magic.

    Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it for yourself! 

    Promising review: “There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you love and can’t live without. And then above that, are a few select products that you revere and hold with the highest honor. Folex is that product. I have used Folex for years and it works wonders on everything from spilt coffee, wine, and dog messes, without any chemical smells or residue. But my love for Folex grew so much deeper when I dropped a 32-ounce jar of salsa down the stairs. My husband took one look and declared that the stairs were ruined and would need to be replaced. I took a look, grabbed the Folex and said, 'We’ve got this.' If you have children, pets or are very clumsy with your canned goods, you need this bulk-size jug in your arsenal of cleaning supplies.” —Katie Tuite

    4. A stainless-steel tongue scraper that is so freaking game-changing, one reviewer is "astonished" by all the flavors they can now taste that they'd never picked up on before, including the taste of tap water (!!!).

    gunk that was scraped off a reviewer's tongue

    Promising review: "I have been an avid Amazon shopper for years. Never once have I (selfishly) written a review for a product. After purchasing this simple tongue scraper, I am now ending that streak. For YEARS, my tongue had been a whiteish-covered organ. It was more white-covered than pink. It looked like it had been born permanently stained with streaks of vanilla ice cream. I secretly envied the wet, pink, glistening tongues of others. Over the years and with countless attempts of desperation, I scrubbed and scrubbed my tongue with the fronts and backs of toothbrushes, all to no avail. Until tonight. As I pulled the gentle scraper down across my tongue, I couldn't believe my eyes. I HAD FINALLY UNCOVERED WHAT MY SOUL HAS CRIED FOR FOR YEARS — A PINKISH-RED TONGUE! [Short version]: BUY THIS SCRAPER. It will take years off your tongue and add them back upon your life." —Stewart Clyde

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (also available in a pack of two and 12). 

    5. A Denman hairbrush cleaner with stiff bristles and a pointed end so you can finally get rid of all the sticky fuzz, gunk, dirt, and dead hair on your brush that was LITERALLY SO HARD TO REMOVE before this. Now you won't be dragging all that icky stuff through your freshly washed hair.

    Promising review: "I never realized that a brush full of hair can hurt your healthy hair. Prior to this tool, I would take a rat tail comb and just clean out the hair, thinking the brush was clean. I was so wrong! the pick side of the cleaner loosens the hair that is matted down in the brush. The bristle side cleans it out so well that it looks like it's a brand new brush. After cleaning, when I use the hairbrush to dry my hair, it glides through my hair, without pulling and tugging. I can tell that when my brush is clean, I have fewer split ends and also breakage at the tip of my head. I cannot recommend this highly enough!" —Kirsten Anne

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    6. A wrinkle cream because pugs, bulldogs, and other sweet squishy-faced pups need some extra help with cleanliness. This helps clear out dirt, grime, and tear stains from their deeply creased faces, paws, and tails. It'll also help soothe your babe's itchiness and discomfort by hydrating with all-natural ingredients.

    Promising review: "This cream is the miracle worker. My 2-year-old English bulldog had yeast in his wrinkles. I cleaned every day with hydrogen peroxide but it didn't clear it up. It just kept it from getting worse. Then I used a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar but nothing. I also used the products from the Natural Dog Company but my bully hated the smell. One night I came across this product. I was desperate and decided to give it a try. Within 24 hours of using Squishface I noticed a huge difference. Within 48 hours it was almost gone. By 72 hours it had cleared up. I clean his face before bed and apply the cream. I only use once a day and that was enough for us. I can't say my bully loves it because seriously what bully likes having their wrinkles cleaned? He tolerates it and I love that it worked for us. It has no smell to it, it's natural, and it WORKS!" —KS92

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (also available in a pack of two).

    7. An all-natural scouring paste to make every surface you have sparkle like a fairy, including toilets, stoves, tubs, grout, and sinks.

    Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed

    My colleague Danielle Healy is a fan (she took the photos above!), saying: 

    "I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I've been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢. After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success) we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

    Humble Suds is a small cleaning brand run by two moms in Evergreen, Colorado. All of their products are made from powerful, plant-based ingredients and packaged with recyclable materials. They recommend applying a tablespoon of their scouring paste to a cloth and then scrubbing in a circular motion. 

    Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $14.95+ (available in two sizes).

    8. A 2-in-1 cradle cap brush that includes soft rubber bristles and a fine tooth comb so you can gently loosen and remove the flakes on your little loved one's head, because cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis) is a very common dry scalp condition amongst infants and requires some extra care.

    Before you buy this, make sure you talk to a pediatrician regarding signs and recommended treatments for cradle cap.

    Promising review: "It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It’s amazing, gross, and wonderful. My babe doesn’t even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in multiple directions. It’s shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I’ve even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!" —ZMomUtah

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    9. An all-natural snout-soothing stick formulated with gently nourishing hemp seed oil, chamomile, and jojoba oil to help your sweet pup with all of their nose woes, whether they be regular dryness and cracks, or overgrowths and hyperkeratosis. It also includes SPF so their lovely snoot will stay protected from the sun, too.

    Promising review: "Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty, it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive, it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from a very rare mine. A friend recommended this snout soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Honestly, this product is some black magic stuff! Unbelievable results in three to five days." —Brittany

    Get it from Amazon for $5.95.

    10. A jetted tub cleaner to spare you from having to bathe in the residue of whatever soap and bath products the previous homeowner was using (and all their dirt). 🤢

    the tub now fully clean after

    Promising review: "This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often and always get grossed out if I don’t. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! The first photo (above) is with my tub running with the solution. Then I drained it (second photo) and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up, and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! See for yourself in the last photo! I’m so impressed!" —Chelsea

    Oh Yuk is a small biz based in Minnesota that makes high quality cleaning products for jetted and hot tubs, washing machines, and dishwashers.

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    11. A pack of medicated bandages containing salicylic acid to treat common and plantar warts. All you gotta do is reapply every 48 hours until you have relief!

    Promising review: "This is painless and effective. I used to go to the doctors to get it burned off. That was painful and took just as long to heal up honestly. I did two Band-Aids for two days each, and it is pretty much gone. I might do a third to finish it off, but honestly, two might be enough. Very pleased with how effective this was relative to how painless. You're not going to find a better blend." —Josh M.

    Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $8.06.

    12. A chemical-free concentrated leather cleaner to restore your dull, dry, or scratched leather to basically how it was when you first got it. You can use it on *literally* anything made from leather! (Ahem: DAMN, Daniel.)

    Promising review: "I bought a sorta white leather sectional for $150 stained and dirty but no major wear or tears. Well, the pictures tell it all! It took at least three cycles of gentle scrubbing and wiping off raised dirt and a little extra for bad stains! A lot of elbow grease but holy crap! Super nice couch now!" —iPoutside365

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).

    13. pack of K-Cup cleaning pods because even your trusty coffee maker needs a deep clean sometimes, too. Just take a look at all the gunk it flushes out — the pics don't lie!

    three cups of dirty water that get progressively cleaner with each rinse
    reviewer image of cleaning K-cup placed inside Keurig

    Promising review: "OK, 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 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

    14. Cult-fave Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner that sucks up messes of any scale so well that once you start using it, you won't *want* to stop.

    Promising review: "This has made my list of Top 5 Amazon purchases EVER. I have two Australian shepherds and make extra money by dog sitting through Rover. As you can imagine, my couch takes a lot of damage from the constant flow of pups. I had been scrubbing the spots individually as they happened with a spot treatment, but I was left with discolored and stained cushions. I also didn’t feel like the scrubbing was truly getting the couch CLEAN. These cushions have been vomited on, puked on, stepped on with muddy paws, and licked until damp (I know; disgusting). Well, I am amazed with the Bissell Little Green! I have no doubt that this purchase will be well worth the reasonable price for the use I’ll get out of it as a dog sitter. I had planned to use it as a spot cleaner (which I will), but after watched the dirty water come off of the 'clean' areas of the cushion? I’m considering just cleaning the whole couch!" —Ivy

    Get it from Amazon for $123.59.

    15. A Baseboard Buddy with a 4-foot extendable pole so that cleaning your baseboards, moldings, ceiling fans, and grates will be as easy as possible. Your knees, shoulders, and back will thank you!

    The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads which can be used wet or dry. 

    Promising review: "For many, this may seem like a waste of money. Not for me. I am over 65 and have difficulty getting up and down from the floor. As a result, my baseboards did not get dusted as frequently as the rest of the house. This made it so much easier for me." —retired

    16. A fast-acting Goo Gone kitchen degreaser that one reviewer dubs a "kitchen treasure." In short, this biodegradable superstar cuts through all things grease and grime, plus is safe to use on any surface including on ceramic, sealed stone, and tile. This is gold standard stuff.

    17. A popular bottle of acid-free, pH-balanced wheel cleaner to dissolve street grime, rust, and dirt with just a spray and a rinse. Your wheels will be so spotless, they'll look like they just rolled off the showroom floor.

    PS: It's safe on all factory installed wheels including those finished with chrome, aluminum, steel, PVD, paint, magnesium, and more. 

    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

    Get it from Amazon for $16.49+ (available in two sizes).

    18.  A miracle-working, deodorizing carpet shampoo for uprooting those stains that you have a sneaking suspicion are older than you are. Dirt tracks, food spills, and pet accidents — begone!

    This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.

    Promising review: "Worth every penny. I’ve bought this product so many times now I have it on autoship! Saw the reviews and figured I’d give it a try. My cat likes to pee over the litter box and stained the brand-new carpet. I used this in my Bissell and it took all the stain and smell out!!! I’ll never use another cleaner." —Wendy

    19. A dishwasher detergent booster to remove hard water film, mineral buildup, and tough stains from your appliances and dishes, leaving them gleaming and sparkling clean.

    Promising review: "I could not get my flatware to come out clean from the dishwasher and I wondered if it was the hard water. I was using up to three soap blocks in each load with only partial improvement. I used this the first time and voilà! Perfectly clean flatware for the first time. I LOVE this!" —Susan A

    Get it from Amazon for $6.12.

    20. A tub of The Pink Stuff a bestselling part-cleaner, part-magic potion that can clean pretty much anything you put to the test — including stains, grease, and grime on cement, tile, laminate, glass, and wood.

    Promising review: "I never leave reviews on Amazon but this grout cleaner definitely deserved a review. I tried three other cleaners before buying Grout-eez and they did nothing but waste my time and money. Grout-eez got my grout perfectly clean in no time, plus it was easy to use and no odor. I'll never use another grout cleaner." —Tyler

    22. fume-free cleaner to erase *years* of baked-on grease and spills on the bottom of your oven and grill. Hey oven stains, it's been fun, but now it's time to go.

    Get it from Amazon for $10.79.

    23. A professional-strength mold and mildew remover made specifically for outdoor fabrics that will breathe new life into patio chairs, porch swings, and awnings. It'll also lift dirt and grime off your roof, gutters, siding, and tiles.

    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

    24. A pack of Scotch-Brite stainless steel scrubbers since scraping off all that burnt black stuff on the bottom of your well-loved, uncoated pots 'n' pans with a regular sponge is probably not getting you very far (through no fault of your own!!). Enter these long-lasting, reusable scrubbers, ready to cut through that stubborn mess FAST, painlessly, and dare I say...easily!

    Promising reviews: "I like to use a lot of cast-iron and stainless-steel pans. But you know what's the worst? Burnt on oil. I expected these to be tough on my hands. They weren't. I expected them to fall apart pretty quickly. They didn't. I expected to have to use a lot of scrubbing force. I don't. What did they do? They removed the burnt-on oil on my stainless-steel pans and cast-iron pans with a refreshing ease." —DM

    25. A soap scum spray ready to give your tub the makeover it deserves (and TBH desperately needs) so taking a bath will finally be appealing again... and will actually make you clean.

    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." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in three sizes).

    Promising review: "I used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks, and shower. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of other brands. I will buy this again hands down. I just sprayed, walked away for a few minutes, and wiped and rinsed." —Carrie D.

    27. ChomChom pet hair remover roller to put your regular ol' lint roller straight out of business. This little miracle worker collects everything in a neat compartment for you to empty out, getting rid of the hassle and waste of ripping off half-effective sticky sheets. It also works so well that you will *literally* be wowed: This thing boasts over 100,000 5-star ratings. (!!!)

    Promising review: "I am allergic to cats so here I am with two cats who shed like crazy. Their hair is covering all the furniture. I have special pet covers on my bed to protect my comforter but I hate having to sleep under it since my cats sleep on my bed. I have tried so many cat hair remover brushes, gloves, sponges that never worked. I was ready to shave the cats and call it a day. Then along comes the ChomChom brush. It not only has the lint roller but a bar that collects the hair. I love the little hairball container of the roller so I don't have to spend time cleaning off the lint brush. I can't believe this product works! I have an off-white couch and I didn't realize how much hair there was. After I used it, my couch looked lighter in color. I got my comforter cleaned off in minutes. It's a simple and inexpensive way to cure your pet hair woes." —Dondi

    28. A TikTok-beloved Angry Mama microwave cleaner that beautifully steam cleans even the grossest of appliances (yes, that includes the mess of ancient marinara splatters, pizza grease, and burning popcorn smells that have made your microwave their home). Just fill her up with water, add a bit of vinegar, and let the magic commence.

    Promising review: "My daughter cooked ramen noodles for three minutes without any water. Needless to say, it was burnt and almost caught fire. I have scrubbed the microwave and couldn’t get the horrible smell out to the point it was giving me a headache. After several days I decided to order this before buying a new microwave. Got it today and used it and shocked it actually pulled most of the odor out that’s trapped in the upper vent. This $10 item saved me $200 to $400." —Angela D.

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in different colors and packs of one or two).

    29. An ultra-versatile bottle of OxiClean because this go-to, water-activated remover can get rid of even the toughest, deepest-set stains on carpets, upholstery, clothes, and anything else you want to take to the task. Before springing for hundreds of dollars of new furniture — give this miracle worker a spin.

    Promising review: "Best stain remover ever. I love it! I use it on clothes as I resell clothing. The trick to this is soaking. I add the recommended amount on the packaging (sometimes a little more if stained badly) to a bucket or pail appropriate size for the item I am soaking and let it soak 3-5 days. Some colors will run, so for certain articles of colored clothing I soak separately. My uncle gave me a few pillowcases with heavy natural head grease stains, for me to try and get the stain out. He said his daughter said it was impossible. I proved her wrong, the Oxyclean took the stains right out. These pillowcases had great sentimental value to him as these were ones he once shared with his late wife. I have also soaked dirty, grubby sneaker and they have come out looking like new (it won’t take away normal wear and tare), even the white soles cleaned up. I swear by this stuff." —luciddreamer

    Get it from Amazon for $10.98 (available in three sizes).

    30. A fast-acting foaming carpet shampoo so you can deep-clean your car interior whether you're dealing with stains from vomit, waterproof sunscreen, milk, coffee (me), or soda. You'll be saying, as one reviewer did: "Oh, that's the original color."

    Promising reviews: "This stuff is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I posted before-and-after photos (above) for you to see for yourself! My 1996 Toyota Camry is 23 years old — this is the original carpet! It took me exactly three hours to clean this carpet and I will tell you this: IT WAS WORTH IT!" —treylee

    "An entire bottle of waterproof sunscreen got spilled in my car and I threw everything the internet had at it. Hot water, vinegar, ammonia, dish soap, baking soda, corn starch. Nothing touched it. It just spread it around. I ordered this in desperation and WOW?! I just diluted it 1:8 and put it into my spot bot and walked away. I came back and moved the spot bot and just look! It is completely gone!? I will be keeping this little gem for all the stains in the future." —Erika J.

    31. A hypoallergenic makeup sponge cleansing shampoo to remove all of the leftover foundation, blush, and bronzer your applicator has collected, but *also* all the bacteria and grime that's been building up. Not only will this make your beauty blender last longer and work better, but it'll also help keep your skin clear and healthy — and costs a lot less than a dermatologist visit.

    They're also all-natural and cruelty-free! Reviewers also mention it pairs perfectly with a silicone brush cleaning mat ($6.79 on Amazon).

    Promising review: "I admit it. I'm terrible when it comes to taking care of my makeup and brushes. I don't care if it's past its prime; if it still works, I'm using it. And those badger brushes I paid a ton for? Pretty sure they were still holding onto powder and eyeshadow from six years ago. So in a rare moment of responsibility, I finally broke down and started looking for a brush cleaner. So how did it work? Well, I can happily say that this cleaner does a bang-up job! My brushes were saturated with old color, to the point that I thought I might need to spring for a new set. Aside from just looking bad, though, all that old color was probably affecting pigment and application any time I used them. A little of this cleaner, a handful of seconds working it in and rinsing, and my brushes look practically as good as the day I bought them! Saved me a ton of money in new brushes, and it didn't take away from my being-lazy time!" —J

    32. A pack of sulfate-free laundry fizzies that can take your filthiest socks — the ones you went hiking in, or that you just ran across the driveway to retrieve that Amazon package that was just delivered in — and give them a glorious, full, all-natural reset.

    Promising review: "Washed my clothes and they came out very clean. I put my sneakers in the wash and they were very gross. They came out so clean that they almost looked new. Will buy again, and recommend." —Daniel Law

    33. An extra-strength retainer cleaner tablets because TBH none of us are cleaning our retainers/mouthguards/dentures/Invisaligns nearly as much as we should — so this'll do the dang job. Just soak for fifteen minutes daily or as needed, and watch food particles, cloudy films, and plaque buildup slide blissfully away.

    Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wished I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars I would have." —Lisa R.

    34. And an oral care water additive for your beloved pup that'll protect their chompers from plaque and tartar buildup, plus prevent bad breath — no brushing required.

    Promising review: "My dog's molars were turning black and he had a ton of buildup on his canines, and his gums were beginning to look inflamed. And, of course, his breath could kill a horse. After one week of constant use (a cap full for every bowl of water) you could see an obvious difference in tooth color. I was blown away. (Why can’t human mouthwash do such a good job on our teeth?) After three weeks, his molars were almost completely clean. After a couple of months of use, the plaque on his canines was soft enough to brush some of it off, which was totally impossible before. Plaque covered the canine approximately 70%. Obviously that's no longer the case. IDK what insane solvent this is made of, but it keeps his gross mouth clean as a whistle. Now I don’t have to worry about my picky priceless mutt losing his teeth because he can’t be bothered to chew anything." —BaconPancakes
