Promising review: "This dye works really well. Follow the directions and you won't have any issues. I used about 3 gallons of boiling water, one cup of salt, a teaspoon of Dawn dish detergent, and one whole bottle for three pairs of jeans. I left them soaking while stirring for an hour. Rinsed twice, washed with my regular detergent, and let them air dry. They all came out perfectly." —Tracy Di

The kit includes three nontoxic dyes that are pre-mixed and ready to go. The dyes come in easy-to-use spray bottles that should work for 6–12 projects.
Promising review: "This dye is the absolute easiest to use!! And it’s clean, no gloves required. I can get about three adult tanks out of one package of dye. I’ve found for best results to let the dye set for 48 hours before washing. I’ve gone through multiple packages of the neon." —Emily R

Promising review: "I feel like you won't believe what I'm about to write, because I can't believe it myself. On New Year's Eve, my husband and I had an epic fail. We dropped a glass of red wine in our bedroom, and as if it were a gymnast, the glass tumbled three times before crashing on the ground. Red wine flew all over the carpet, bedding, and my favorite pale yellow upholstered bench at the end of our bed. We stood there in shock, and then I remembered I had just bought Puracy. After spraying the better part of a bottle on various linens, our carpet, and my pale yellow bench, IT LOOKS LIKE THE EPIC WINE FAIL OF 2016 NEVER HAPPENED. It's seriously like magic. I still can't believe my eyes and really wish I took before-and-after photos. Worth every penny!!!!! It's now my go-to stain remover!!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Dritz has always been a name in sewing I could trust. Imagine you're running out late to work when you look down and see an area of your skirt seam has fallen. You could go back and change your entire outfit getting upset, or grab the Dritz bottle, fold up the seam and lightly squeeze it along the seam attaching the loose area. Let it dry a few minutes and you're off to work. It will last for as long as you own the skirt. Like I said, it's a liquid lifesaver." —TxNightOwl61

Promising review: "I am SO happy with this product! I’m honestly completely amazed. I have — no, I had tons of shirts with deodorant stains on the armpits. It was when my favorite black cashmere sweater got some really horrible ones which made it impossible to wear that I looked for a solution. This was that solution. Five or six swipes with one of these and it was gone. I can wear my sweater again!" —Morgan

This tool has a tiny hook at the end, which you can use to pull loose thread back into the fabric. Insert the needle through the protruding snag from the exterior side of the fabric, pull the needle end through to the back side, and the snag will be disappear.
Promising review: "I hated dealing with my clothes when they got a snag. Besides the fact that I damaged an expensive clothing item, it caused the item to have an annoying and ugly dangling thread and before having this tool, my only option was to cut the dangling thread. With this tool, I don't have to cut dangling threads anymore but can force the exposed thread back into the clothing product, making it look like the pieces of clothes never got a snag at all!" —Adrian

Cut a small opening (if you're just replacing an old button, there should already be one), then push the pin through the jeans. Push the button into the pin and use a hammer or pliers to securely snap together. And that's all!
Promising review: "Where has this thing been all my life? I could have saved so many pairs of jeans with this thing." —G Webster

Promising review: "These are so handy to have in my closet. They really complete an outfit with an oversize sweater without necessitating wearing an extra shirt and getting too hot. They don't bunch and are easy to put on. I'm glad I ordered the pack with multiple colors as it gives me lots of options to choose from." —Anna-Claire

Promising review: "This is my first review on Amazon because I really want to share how great this product is! I'll keep it short and sweet. I bought this product because I've never seen so many positive reviews on an Amazon product before — 5 stars with over 2,000 reviews. I love white and cream leather but it's a pain to maintain. The product did wonders to it! I can't wait to use it a second time to get my items even brighter and restore it." —RN

Promising review: "With the many choices of sliders/pulls included in the kit, I was able to match a new slider to my jacket and fix the problem myself in about 30 seconds! Much better than tossing away an otherwise perfectly good jacket." —JR

Promising review: "These fit very nicely and look great under ripped jeans and shorts! I was worried that they wouldn't fit, but I was pleased to see that they are high-waisted and stretch fairly well." —byunhuns

The four-in-one brush includes: a welt surface for heavier scuff marks and stains, nylon bristles for a gentler clean on light scuff marks, an arched half-circle brush for easier cleaning on rounded corners, and a thin protruding brush for cleaning harder to reach crevices and grooves.
Promising review: "Worked like magic! I had a brand-new Calvin Klein suede purse. I took it to dinner at a Mexican restaurant, and it came back with grease streams down one side. I was devastated. I figured I'd try this brush before taking it to a professional. Seriously y'all — a few swipes with this brush cleaner and you couldn't tell there was previously a stain. 10 stars!" —Runnwme

Promising review: "I had a couple small mends to do and I lost my sewing kit. Well I’m glad I did, because it led me to this kit! Everything fits into this compact little zip case in its own perfect little spot. The kit manages to hold a ton. I can’t imagine needing another tool for a rare sewer like myself who just needs to do the occasional mend or button. Very awesome kit." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Really a remarkable product. Some rather pathetic tees from a million years ago are sparkling white now. This stuff exceeded my expectations. Actually, it exceeded my most optimistic hopes. Bear in mind, the hotter the water, the better it works. Don't expect it to blow you away unless you get it HOT. Love it." —alison julian
