    Promising review: "OMFreakinG!!! I just received this foot file today and I'm officially a believer!!! I hate the thought of anyone touching my feet, so I have been trying to find something to do pedicures by myself at home and nothing worked well. I was scrolling Facebook and came across a post about Amazon's top-rated products. When I saw this I was skeptical but thought I would try it out and I'm so glad I did. This file got my feet baby smooth within minutes with such ease after months of built-up dead skin. I was so excited after seeing the finished product that I ordered my fiancé one. With this on the market, I don't know why anybody would want to go spend a ton of money at a nail salon." —Tasha P.

    Promising review: "I have to be honest, for a 'cheap' mascara, this did NOT inspire high expectations. These, however, exceeded my expectations and went MUCH MUCH farther. I had been buying a certain $25/tube brand (rhymes with truepique) and I like these just as much!! I’m saving a TON of money and like my lashes just as much." —Liz

    Promising review: “There are products that you love and buy again. And then there are products that you loooooove 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 T.

    Promising review: "This stuff is the real deal. We have had multiple service calls to the house for this dishwasher — no help at all. Cleaned the filter, tried running the water to heat it first…nothing worked. Dishes were still coming out dirty and smelly. We were prepared to give up and replace our dishwasher. As a last ditch effort, I ordered the Affresh pods and used two of ‘em. Hallelujah!!! Finally, dishes are coming out clean again. These pods saved me THOUSANDS! So simple and easy to use, I could not be happier." —M

    Promising review: "I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it but after trying it out, it really does work. I’ve used whitening strips before but those usually hurt my sensitive teeth and I hate the taste of some of the other gels on the market, but this one was super easy to use and didn’t hurt my teeth at all. It also didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste, since it's mint flavored. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!" —Victoria B.

    Promising review: "For years I have struggled with back acne. I was a field hockey goalie in high school (gross, sweaty pads on my body) and played lacrosse in college (constant sweating under the hot Florida sun). Even after college, my back acne continued and left scars. Now I’m 25 and still work out a lot. All I ever wanted to do was wear a low open back dress and feel comfortable. And unfortunately, I don’t have health insurance so going to the dermatologist was out of the picture. About to give up and get laser treatment for my back, I ran across this wash and decided to give it a try. And WOW. I actually wish I had taken a before picture. Now I NEVER get back breakouts and it’s even healed some of my scarring! I’m so happy I found this product!! I wish I had found it years ago!" —joanna youssef

We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats...he eats these every time, so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation

    Everneat is a Connecticut-based small business that specializes in natural cleaning products and tools.

    Promising review: "This is my second container of this oven cleaner, I love it! My oven was pretty grimy and I used this cleaner with just a damp rag, I didn't use the steel wool pad it comes with. I honestly was shocked it cleans so well, my oven looks brand-new again. I love the fact that it has zero harsh chemicals and I don't have to wear my rubber gloves to keep from getting a chemical burn. This will always be my go-to oven cleaner, it's the best!" —layla61955

    19. Or a fume-free oven cleaner that's gentle enough that you don't need protective gloves to use it, but tough enough that your oven will be left sparkling. Open your oven and you'll probably hear the angels sing.

    Promising review: "Oven was in a shameful state and to top it off, lasagna bubbled over and burnt onto everything. Sprayed it on last night and left it until this morning then started by spraying the racks with hot water and the dirt just fell off. A couple of stubborn particles remain, but a quick scrub with a sponge and dish soap and they are shiny and clean. This spray is not scent-free, but it is not too bad, and I'm sensitive to smells. So happy. This job normally takes a couple of hours but I did the whole thing in less than an hour." —Samantha B.

    Promising review: "I am prone to the rare chin breakout during that time of the month. After reading so many reviews, I gave this a shot and I'm very glad I did. My skin has cleared up considerably in the three months I've been using this product. I put it on every morning under my makeup, after my shower, and again before bed. WOW my skin looks so great! The texture is smoother, I have even less small acne than before, and overall I see a marked improvement in my complexion. Love this stuff and will continue to buy it over and over each time the bottle runs out." —C. Morris

    Promising review: "I bought this for that unsightly ring around the toilet. We have new toilets and keep our place clean, yet we still had that ring in one of our toilets. Cleaning and scrubbing with the normal toilet bowl cleaner and toilet brush would not get rid of the ring. But this fantastic pumice stone and a little elbow grease did the trick. Yay!" —Rachel H.

    Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small biz that specializes in all things pets! Biscuits, grooming items, cleaning items, and more, all specifically for furry friends!

    Promising review: "Initially, I bought this because I’m potty training a puppy and it’s not going great. This product really worked well on my carpets for the dog messes! However, I’m writing this review because my jerk cat decided one evening that my new comforter was a great potty spot. Thankfully I noticed the mess immediately so I was able to get this product on it immediately as well. I did let it sit overnight to really penetrate the stuffing even tho that isn't in the directions. I was certain the comforter was a goner. I tossed it in the wash the next morning and I am BLOWN AWAY by the lack of smell or stain. Cat urine is so stubborn and it can easily feel overwhelming when trying to eliminate the smell but this product 100% has my support. I’m buying more the second I’m done with this review. I love it." —lexi

    Promising review: "I saw a dermatologist recommend this on TikTok and figured I’d give it a try. I have had red bumps on the back of my arms for as long as I can remember and have tried multiple things so I didn’t have very high expectations. After one use, I could already see a difference! It says to use one to two times a week but I use it usually every other day, and I use CeraVe rough and bumpy lotion after and now my red bumps are almost nonexistent. This product has truly been life-changing and I would recommend it to anyone struggling with red bumps! 10/10!" —Sidney H.

    27. A pack of four hanging vacuum bags to make more space in your closet for more clothes. I've begun to tell myself that my shopping isn't the problem, the problem is that my walk-in closet is too small. Why stop buying clothes when these babies will make space for more?!

    These bags hold up to five garments and will make even your biggest, heaviest winter coat suuuuper flat for extra closet space.

    Promising review: "Bought these storage bags two weeks ago to pack my winter clothes for summer, and they did the job perfectly. They are large and sturdy. I like its five-hook design. I can store five women's jackets or four big men's jackets in ONE bag. The long bags also fit my dresses. The biggest reason I bought these bags is that I do not need to fold my seasonal clothes; just hang, zip, vacuum, done! Super convenient. Extremely happy with these. I will definitely order more!" —Jia Yan

    28. A jar of the TikTok-famous Pink Stuff that's totally worth ALL the hype. My jaw is quite LITERALLY on the floor every time I scroll on TikTok and see this stuff in action. This paste plays no games when it's time to get tidy!

    Tough on grease and stains on almost any surface, leaves no scratches, and it's vegan! 

    Promising review: "I saw someone using this on TikTok and I was skeptical at first, but for $7 I thought I'd try it anyway. I am SO glad I bought this! I had a hair dye stain on the bottom of my bathtub for about a year from dyeing my hair at home, and I tried EVERYTHING...nail polish remover, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers, Scrubbing Bubbles foam spray, etc., with no avail. I also had calcium stains on the drain of my bathtub and sink that were a pain to get out. This product erased all of these stains with ease and made it look like they were never there! This is your sign to buy this...I am so happy!" —Savannah M.
