    You’ll Want To Peek Through Your Fingers At These Products' Gnarly Before And After Pics — And Then Buy Them

    I'm gonna apologize in advance for these callus removal photos...but you'll also thank me once you see the results for yourself.

    1. A pumice cleaning stone to tackle the buildup in your toilet — it's capable of removing the rust, mineral deposits, and stains that you can't bear to look at for one more day without damaging your porcelain.

    Use gentle back-and-forth motions to remove stains and deposits from inside the toilet bowl, and voila!

    Promising review: "Will make your toilet bowl shine! I have tiny black specks that appear on random parts of my toilet bowl and this thing scraped them right off!! I also got up where the water comes out and was able to scrape that off as well. Takes a little elbow grease but once you find the groove it works great!" —Cassandra Gilkey

    2. A tub of OxiClean, because this powerful, water-activated formula is iconic for a reason — it'll completely get rid of the evidence when you're dealing with deep-rooted stains from bowel accidents (human or pet) and other major messes. 

    Promising review: "Wowza!!! I bought this because my dog had diarrhea after beginning a new medication. He sleeps with me, and I will spare you the gross details, but waking up next to a very sick dog with poop ALL over some extremely expensive linens was terrible. A vintage linen group I belong to told me to try OxiClean. I was convinced it wouldn’t work on antique, WHITE, hand-sewn linens covered in dried liquid dog poo, but I thought I'd try anyway. I filled my bathtub halfway with lukewarm water, dumped in two full scoops, and soaked everything for the full six hours that the box recommended. Then, I washed the linens on gentle in cold water. GUYS, YOU CANNOT TELL MY DOG POOPED ALL OVER THESE, AND I SWEAR THEY ARE WHITER THAN THEY WERE WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THEM. I am seriously shocked and absolutely thrilled. I can’t believe I’m so excited about a housecleaning product, but this stuff really buttered my biscuits. BTW: The vet switched my doggo’s meds, and now he’s MUCH better!" —Rae Regenbogen

    Get a 5-pound tub from Amazon for $11.78.

    3. A stainless-steel tongue scraper — fighting the battle against stinky breath can be a real struggle without this surgical grade tool, which helps remove odor-causing plaque and bacteria. Now your friends can stop offering you breath mints out of the blue. 😬

    Dr. Tung's is a small biz that makes breath-improving dental products.

    Promising review: "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 $7.30.

    4. A beloved Folex carpet cleaner to finally tackle that stain on your white carpet that simply won't disappear — or rescue it in an emergency. Whether it's a pet accident, red wine, or a mysterious stain of which you don't even know the origins, this odor-free cleaner will lift it right away, no rinsing needed.

    Promising reviews: "I purchased this cleaner since the reviews were so great. No regrets since it did exactly what it said. Coffee, dirt, and wine stains removed, just like that! It’s easy to use and oh-so-fast too!" —empowered

    "I just removed makeup from my favorite white shirt and my white pillow cases!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn’t bleed the stain further down on cotton and removes on carpet just as well! They are both mind-blowing and easy to use! I love spending my money on products that do what they say they are going to do! No regrets. Stop wasting money and effort on everything else!" —JRreview

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

    5. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel here to save the day and rid your feet of those old, thick calluses that have been there for YEARS. It's a simple process of applying, waiting, and rinsing it off — then marveling at how your once-hardened feet could ever look and feel this baby soft.

    Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

    Promising review: "I saw this product on Tiktok. My feet were sort of rough and I used it as directed — after four applications my feet are baby smooth. Now I didn’t soak my feet properly the first three times, but the fourth time i did and it made a big difference. Some did get on my skin but it didn’t burn." —Coresa

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    6. And an oddly satisfying foot file to gently remove dead skin buildup and calluses on the heels of your feet and leave them so smooth, you won't be able to stop touching them. You can use it on dry or wet skin!

    Promising review: "I was BLOWN AWAY by this product! I have dealt with calloused, cracked heels for as long as I can remember. Some things have worked better than others in the past, but I’ve been in a rut of bad feet for the past several months. The foot rasp/file/scraper that I had was not even coming close to doing the job, and it is a similar style to this one, so I wasn’t getting my hopes up for this one. Based on the reviews and before/after pics, I had to give it a shot though! I gave it a go before getting in the shower and was just so impressed with how easy to use it was and how incredibly it worked. It took less than 15 minutes between both feet and VERY LITTLE pressure/effort was required. This product gave me better results than most professional pedicures I’ve had!" Halk

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    7. A pack of two Venus Visage teeth whitening pens, minty fresh without the weird aftertaste and completely painless — no discomfort for sensitive teeth and gums! But most importantly, it leaves your teeth noticeably whiter, and at a fraction of the cost of the dentist (and Crest Whitestrips). 

    reviewer showing a before/after of their teeth, including a particularly yellow tooth that's further back, and the after pic showing how all of their teeth are much whiter

    Also, if you have teeth crowding that makes it hard for a toothbrush to reach certain teeth (like the reviewer above is showing), this lets you more easily target those severe areas of discoloration. 

    Promising review: "After using it several times over the course of a week, I immediately noticed the difference in the color of my teeth. I'm a smoker and a heavy coffee drinker. I'm finding that this product will be a lifesaver in terms of what my smile looks like. I would definitely recommend!!" —Mully

    Get a pack of two pens from Amazon for $18.95.

    8. A 36-pack of Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers to keep any unexpected zits from ruining your plans. Stick one on before bed or during the day — either way, it'll get to work drawing out all that nasty gunk clogging your pores, leaving you with noticeably flatter skin in 6–8 hours. It'll prevent any picking at the area too!

    Hero Cosmetics is an Asian woman-founded brand and home of The Mighty Patch. Ju Rhyu launched the brand in 2017, which has evolved with products such as cleansers, toners, nose strip Mighty Patches, and more!

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis says, "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls, which I truly, truly appreciate." For more deets, check out her full Mighty Patch review!

    Promising review: "Such a great product! I heard about it on TikTok and had to try it. I leave them on when I sleep and the blemish is smaller and smooth on the surface when I take it off. Obsessed." —Renee K.

    Get a pack of 36 Mighty Patch Original stickers from Amazon for $9.57 — and check out all their other pimple patch styles and sizes here, including the larger version made to go over your nose that's shown above. 

    9. A jar of The Pink Stuff that really *shouldn't* work as well as it does on SO many messes — and yet, the ever-growing hype and countless 5-star ratings for this all-purpose cleaning paste prove otherwise. Put it to the test on that burned pan, stained bathtub, or marked-up wall you've long given up on and watch it work its magic.

    Check out this TikTok where my former colleague Britt Ross uses The Pink Stuff on a dirty sheet pan, pair of white sneakers, and her toaster oven — spoiler, the results are *seriously* impressive. And for another testimonial, peep this TikTok where it's used on the bottom of a burn-stained saucepan!

    Promising review: "Got this because TikTok made me do it. I put a smear on a hair dye stain in my shower from six months ago. Thought I’d have to let it sit for a while so I rubbed it in with a Scrub Daddy and was ready to let it sit, but it was already gone. Blew my mind. Removed rust stains in the toilet and hard water marks from the tank instantly. Goodbye other cleaners." —L. Seitz

    Get it from Amazon for $4.99.

    10. Some wart-removing pads you stick on like they're regular bandages — from there, they'll get to work removing your stubborn growths while concealing and cushioning the area for max comfort.

    Reviewer's progression photos showing the pads removed a wart on their finger
    Different reviewer's progression photos showing the pads removed a dime-size wart

    Promising review: "I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandage. Amazing!!" —K Pic

    Get a 14-pack from Amazon for $7.29.

    11. A nose hair wax kit if you can't stand those long, pesky nose hairs but dread the thought of an agonizing (and expensive) salon visit. Many reviewers say these are nearly painless, and they'll get rid of nose hairs for 4–6 weeks!

    reviewer showing the nose hairs removed

    You'll get 100 grams of nose wax beads, 30 wax applicators, 10 mustache protectors, a measuring cup, and 15 paper cups at your disposal. FYI, if you're concerned about the pain, one reviewer describes it on the level of "when you leave a Band-Aid on your skin too long and you pull it off." 

    Promising review: "I highly recommend this product. The instructions were super easy to follow, and it worked perfectly! I was a little nervous to pull the sticks out once the two minutes were up; however, it didn't even hurt. I expected it to hurt momentarily and my eyes to water, but neither was true! If you wanna get rid of them pesky nose hairs...snag this product!!!" —Julie J.

    Get it from Amazon for $13.27

    12. An enzymatic dog toothpaste that'll help you keep your pup's dental hygiene under control (and improve that stinky breath you get a whiff of every time they lick your face). This can help you handle that scary built-up tartar on their teeth at home instead of shelling out for a professional cleaning — and many dogs love the taste too!

    This no-rinse, non-foaming toothpaste comes in two yummy flavors that dogs will love (peanut butter or poultry!). For best results, it's recommended to brush their teeth at least 2–3 times per week.

    Promising review: "The dogs love this stuff. The picture attached is only after two weeks of use (brushing two times a day). The dogs love the flavor and actually think of tooth brushing as a treat now. I also put it in a chew toy for them to chew on to help brush their own teeth. We used children tooth brushes at first to help her gums adjust and now use an actual dog toothbrush. (Excuse the blood, her gums are sensitive while brushing.)" —Paisley

    Get it from Amazon for $6.41+ (available in three flavors as well as a kit).

    13. A portable Bissell Little Green machine if your sofa, chairs, and carpet have seen better days...*much* better days. As in, they've taken on an entirely new color over years of heavy use. This TikTok-beloved cleaner is a holy grail product for many, capable of sucking out stubborn baby stains, pet accidents, dust, dirt, and more. It's time: Let's unearth what your upholstery is actually supposed to look like. 😬

    The Bissell Little Green machine offers strong spray and suction to remove tough pet stains with ease. It has a 48-ounce tank that allows you to do plenty of cleaning before a refill is needed. It comes with a three-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size of Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula.

    Promising review: "Two months ago we got a 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted. That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made cleanup of everything so much simpler and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends and our couch gets that fresh clean smell in an hour." —Kindle Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $116.23.

    14. A fungal nail renewal formula because those thick, discolored, painful spots on your nails are getting hard to ignore. You won't have to wait around long for improvement, either — reviewers started noticing a visible difference within days. 

    To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switching to applying once per day at night.

    Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot 

    Get it from Amazon for $16.13.

    15. And a tiny toenail brace if you unfortunately deal with ingrown toenails on the reg — how can something so small cause so much searing pain?? 💀 This brace corrects the curve of your nail so it's *not* digging into your skin, helping eliminate pain and prevent future ingrowns.

    This comes with a kit containing 10 toenail braces and tools for application. Each brace lasts three to six weeks.

    HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian says, "After spending hours upon hours of my youth in tight cleats playing sports, I now deal with gross, painful ingrown toenails. I put off seeking a solution for them for a long time — I hoped they'd improve on their own (spoiler: they didn't) and was resistant to shelling out any money to deal with them. A few months ago, I lightly brushed my big toe against the floor, was met with bloodcurdling pain from an ingrown, and finally decided enough was enough. I ordered this kit, and stuck the brace on my most severe ingrown. 

    "Honestly, I was astonished by the improvement this made, even within just a few days. Now, a few weeks later, my nail is straight and evened out like a healthy toenail should be, and it doesn't hurt at all when I wear shoes or when it knocks against something. They recommend you keep the brace on for a full nail growth cycle to fully correct the ingrown, so it'll be a longer road for me, but I couldn't be happier with the results so far. Note: The brace causes a very slight discomfort at first. If you feel any pain, you should take the brace off immediately and apply it with less pressure."

    Get it from Amazon for $44.99.

    16. An ear treatment capable of soothing your poor pup or kitty's red, inflamed ears without having to coax them into taking oral meds (anyone who's ever tried knows the struggle). The gentle 1% hydrocortisone formula doesn't sting and relieves itching so you won't have to helplessly watch them pawing at their ears and whining anymore. It also helps protect against fungal and bacterial infections (and future expensive vet visits).

    Promising reviews: "Saved a ton of money for vet bills. This stuff works fantastic and my cat actually doesn't mind getting the drops. I followed the instructions and they did exactly as they said. After reading the reviews, I was sort of convinced but now I won't get anything else. Totally worth the money." —Debbie M

    "I bought this to help my dog’s ears and it’s the best on the market. Within days, her ears started clearing up and she stopped scratching her ears and shaking her head. Awesome product, well worth the money." —handheld

    Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in three sizes). 

    17. hard-water stain remover made to leave your shower doors sparkling clear, your stainless steel pristine, and your rusted porcelain so white, it'll look brand-new. Put it to the test anywhere you've got mineral deposits leaving ugly marks and stains. 

    Promising review: "OK, here is the first review in my life, as I usually can't be bothered. This product shocked me and deserves to be famous. It completely blew my mind. I have no idea what kind of magic is in this bottle but I have tried literally everything to remove the hard water drops/film/residue from our glass shower door. I'm talking hard, white texture that you cannot scratch off at all! For two years. I came across this, ordered, put some on a sponge, drew a square to test it out, a couple of minutes later rubbed it slightly and ran outside screaming for hubby to come see the miracle of the glossy again, see-through shower door! Seriously unbelievable!" —Potomac Palms 🌴🍊

    Get it from Amazon for $17.77.

    18. A pack of Bottle Bright tablets, because your water bottle is probably disgusting and long-overdue for a wash. (It happens to all of us.) Drop one of these tablets into your bottle with some warm water, watch it fizz up while it deep cleans, then empty and give your bottle a quick rinse. No more funky smells or weird residue!

    Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, and then give it a thorough rinsing before drinking from it!

    Promising review: "Saw this on BuzzFeed, had to give it a try. Used it on our stainless steel coffee carafe that I have been trying to get clean for two years. The coffee stains inside just would not come out, no matter how much vinegar, dish detergent or scrubbing I did. Until today!! Hot water and tablet in, let it sit for three hours, and UNBELIEVABLE. Where has this Bottle Bright been all my life?? I can’t wait to use it on all my travel coffee mugs. Can you please make tablets for all my cleaning needs?! This was about the easiest thing I have ever done. Love it. Highly recommend!" —Someone

    Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $8.

    19. A bestselling earwax removal kit if you're starting to realize just how often you have to ask others to repeat themselves — your ears might just be overdue for a deep clean. This kit comes with a microfoaming solution that softens the built-up earwax inside and a bulb syringe you use to flush it all out with water.

    The above reviewer photos show a before/after of the inside of their ear with the wax buildup removed.  

    Promising review: "Folks. Buy it. This is like head lice treatment. If you are looking at it and thinking about it, YOU NEED IT. And this stuff. Is. Awesome. Literally chunks of ear wax came out of my ear holes the SIZE OF CORN KERNELS. Where was this coming from? Why is my body making so much wax? Where was it being stored because I did NOT think ear canals were that spacious, but apparently there are some storage closets in there or something because HOLY MARY MOTHER OF GOD the ear nuggets are real. My ears feel so squeaky clean! And get this, my hair makes sounds. Like I put it up in a hair tie afterwards, and I could HEAR MY HAIR MOVING ON MY HEAD. What is that?! Seriously?! If you also did not know that moving hair creates a sound, you need to buy this product ASAP." —Samantha

    Get it from Amazon for $5.98.

    20. Quick-acting Nizoral dandruff shampoo so you can find relief from those annoyingly itchy and embarrassingly visible white flakes hanging out on your scalp. It's made with 1% ketoconazole, which binds to your hair's natural proteins to kill dandruff.

    before reviewer image of hair and scalp covered in dandruff
    after reviewer image of no dandruff on scalp

    Reviewers across all hair types, from thin, straight hair to coarse 4c hair, report a positive experience with this dandruff shampoo, i.e. that it's kept their hair itch- and flake-free.

    HuffPost Shopping writer Haley Zovickian says, "I get dandruff from time to time, and when I do the flakes are stubborn and hard to get rid of. Nizoral is a godsend and the only thing I will use for getting rid of it. Because it's antifungal, it actually gets at the root of the problem so you get fast relief. I make sure I never run out — it's the only thing that'll take care of my dandruff effectively and quickly."

    Promising review: "I’ve had dandruff for my entire life and I didn’t know what caused it. I came across a dermatologist on TikTok saying this may be due to some fungus infection and recommended this product. I literally just used it two times a week for couple of weeks and I can see almost no dandruff anymore. Also the smell is good, it doesn’t smell like medicine and I kinda like it!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $15.88 (also available in a larger size).

    21. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that can remove the nasty buildup inside your dishwasher that's looking so gross, you might be thinking about replacing the machine entirely. Just add a tablet, run a normal wash cycle, and watch lime and mineral buildup disappear, leaving your dishwasher looking brand-new.

    Promising review: "My brand new LG dishwasher has stopped draining on several occasions. I recently noticed that there was an egg-ish odor and I had no clue how to fix this without hiring someone to come out for a service call and drop a minimum of $100. I bought this product, used once (put on very bottom of dishwasher) and ran without dishes. Very happy to see that the water was gone and my machine smells great. DEF worth buying because I think it unclogged pipes or something." —rebecca cohen

    Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.95.

    22. A vegan ingrown hair oil so you can combat that irritating post-shaving or waxing redness while also treating those uncomfortable, unsightly ingrown hairs and bumps. Safe for use on intimate areas, its all-natural formula includes skin-softening jojoba seed oil and calming tea tree oil. Who knew sweet, fast-acting relief came in such a simple bottle?

    Bushbalm

    Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas.

    Get it from UltaAmazon, or Bushbalm for $26.

    23. An antifungal tea tree balm made to target all sorts of somewhat embarrassing skin conditions — athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, back acne, even just dry skin — so you'll probably just want to keep a tub of it on hand.

    Same reviewer's foot after four weeks of consistent application, which is now completely healed and free of the red rash

    Promising review: "I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away with how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, callouses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." —anengstrom

    Get it from Amazon for $36.32.

    24. An odor-eliminating spray you should have on hand for when you locate your dog or cat's latest carpet accident, because it's *much* easier than a professional cleaning. Not only does it lift away stains; it also releases enzymes that break down the deep and persistent odors left behind. It's true: Your home doesn't *have* to smell like that. 

    Carpet messes are undoubtedly the worst to clean up, but you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for noncarpet use. 

    Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys. 

    Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let it dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona mia

    25. An Angry Mama microwave cleaner, because you know your mama would be mad to see how messy your microwave has gotten! But don't worry, she'll take care of the dirty work for you this time. Just fill the top of this Angry Mama with water and vinegar and nuke it in the microwave, then easily wipe away all the stains that have been loosened up by the steam.

    Promising review: "Omg!!!! I’m embarrassed to post this. It has been almost two years since I’ve cleaned my microwave. 🥴 Between pregnancies and surgeries I just haven’t had the time. One use and it made a significant difference." —Jonna Kiser

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors and a two-pack).

    26. And a bottle of Goo Gone kitchen degreaser capable of cutting through the baked-on oil and grease layering your stove, kitchen appliances, cookware, and above-the-stove cabinets. There's nothing worse than feeling that slimy layer there and watching your usual cleaning attempts fall short of removing it all — with this stuff, it's about to be a thing of the past.

    Reviewer photo of the same wall completely clean

    It's safe for use on tile, ceramic, and sealed stone surfaces *and* even safe for food prep areas!

    Promising review: "I can't live without it! It breaks through daily cooked-on stove grease and leaves the stove and microwave looking brand new and shiny again. The best thing about this particular bottle is these guys sell it in liquid spray form, which allows it to be evenly applied to the surface you are cleaning. I highly WARN to wear gloves. Even the smallest drop of this chemical WILL soak into your skin and turn your finger hard and crinkly for hours." —Kirsten N. Sicotte

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in two sizes).

    27. A hairbrush cleaning tool that might just be the most brilliant product you never knew you needed, considering how well it'll pull out all of that stuck-in hair, dirt, and product buildup inside your brush (that you've been running through your clean hair, over and over, every day for years 🤢). 

    The reviewer above got such amazing results by using this tool along with soaking their brush in a Dawn-and-diluted-vinegar solution!

    Promising review: "When I bought this I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    28. A jetted bathtub cleaner (appropriately named 'Oh Yuk') to clean up your bathtub, jetted tub, or whirlpool so you can go back to relaxing without worrying about dirty soap buildup, leftover oils, and black flakes. Even if you *think* your jetted tub is clean, you might be shocked at the gunk that's lurking in your jets.

    Just fill up the bath, add a quarter of the bottle, wait 15 minutes for it to clean all the gross residue, then drain the tub! Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic safe. Check it out in action (and some very gross results) in this TikTok!

    Oh Yuk is a small, family-owned business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs.

    Promising review: "I am now a loyal customer of this product! I was skeptical that it would clean better than whatever else I could find. But it did. WHOA. We recently lived into a house with a jet tub and I wanted to get a really deep clean. The amount of what had to be dead skin cells that came out after using it was DISGUSTING. And also awesome. Hahaha. It also just left the tub sparkly and shiny when I was done! But I could tell it did exactly as intended and cleaned the buildup inside of the jets’ pipes. AMAZING product. Nothing else like it!" —Katy S.
