    Get it from Amazon for $48.48+ (available in two styles).

    2. And a dog spot repair solution to help you fix up any dirt patches in your backyard that could use some extra help. Thanks to this mix of mulch, soil, and seeds, those pesky urine or digging spots in your yard will be lush and green for your next outdoor gathering. 

    Promising review: "I have lacrosse players and dogs, and this stuff is amazing. My yard looked like an abandoned lot before this, and it literally 'grew anywhere' just like it said. The bag I planted last year actually came back strong this year, so I put more down, and it is working like a dream!" —chchmom

    Get it from Amazon for $12.79+ (available in five sizes and in multipacks).

    3. A tennis shoe cleaner that'll take even your most rough-looking pair of shoes and help them become presentable again. It even comes with a brush for scrubbing the dirt away. It's time to restore those Air Force 1s you wore out into the rain and mud back to their former glory.

    This will work on leathers, vinyl, nubuck, suede, canvas, and cloth.

    Promising review: "I have had my Nike Roshe runs for about a year now, and I don't go easy on them. I play sports and run in the dirt with them all the time, but I also like to wear them for fashion purposes. Pink Miracle helped restore my daily shoes to look like I just bought them — now I can wear them for even longer. Very pleased with Pink Miracle, I will buy it again when I run out of my bottle." —Romario

    Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).

    Each spike can be used for 30–60 days, depending on the season. The reviewer pics above are all of the same plant — the far left photo shows the plant in its droopy, original state, the middle photo is a slightly perkier plant just 10 days later, and the right photo shows the happy, lifted, and healthy result after three weeks!

    Promising review: "I always kill my plants but I decided to try again. I just bought five houseplants, and three of them were marked down because they were looking pretty puny. Since I tend to kill them anyway, 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), and the leaves looked healthier almost immediately. I'm very happy with this product, and it was at a great price." —victoria

    Get two packs of 48 spikes from Amazon for $10.95 (available in various quantities).

    5. bleach-free outdoor cleaner — it lifts dirt and grime from all different surfaces, including your cement, stone, siding, wood, roof shingles, and more. It'll help you blast away all the grossness winter left behind on your house and walkway.

    Just connect the sprayer to your garden hose, spray, let it sit for 5-10 minutes, scrub as needed, and rinse it off. 

    Promising review: "I first used this product about two years ago on the awning on my RV. That awning was so bad, that I thought I was going to have to replace it. After using this Scott's product as directed, the mold and mildew completely disappeared. This product definitely works and it works GREAT! What more can I say — it saved me nearly $500." —R. Latreille

    Get it from Amazon for $10.98.

    6. A bug bite suction tool that'll be super useful to carry around as the weather gets warmer and the bugs start swarming. It works to remove insect venom, saliva, and other irritants that get left under the skin using a small suction.

    Bug Bite Thing is a family-owned small business established in 2017 that specializes in bug bite relief products. 

    Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bump/bite was gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: it’s awesome. I’m carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca

    Get it from Amazon for $8.46 (available in three colors and multipacks).

    7. A Living Proof de-frizzing dry conditioning spray to tame up to 92% of the frizz that's holding you back from a phenomenal hair day on a humid spring day.

    Get it from Amazon for $33.

    8. Or a Briogeo leave-in conditioning spray formulated with coconut oil and argan oil to help all hair textures minimize frizz for up to 48 hours. Just spritz your hair with this for added shine, smoothness, and a pleasant scent. Some reviewers say it makes brushing out tangles easier too!

    Promising review: "Smooth and hydrated hair. 💓 Instantly, yes. I have struggled to find a leave-in that doesn't make my hair feel greasy afterward, actually hydrates my hair, and uses effective ingredients. It smells amazing. I do appreciate that it is reasonably priced as well. Well done. 👏" —Chrispydao

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes) or from Sephora for $12+ (available in two sizes).

    9. The ChomChom pet hair remover roller sure to *amaze* you with how much hair it picks up from your furniture. Furry friends are the best, but a couch full of hair during shedding season is NOT.

    Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back-and-forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

    Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in two colors). 

    10.

If discoloration is holding you back from rocking tank tops this spring and summer, then give this a try!

I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this things works and it works fast!" —puppbear

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.99.

    11. Sun Joe pressure washer that'll get your outdoor furniture clean as new after the winter weather made you question replacing them altogether. You can also use it to get all of that wet mud off of your fence and driveway. 

    Promising review: "Great product at a good price. Used this power washer to wash my stucco house for pre-painting. Unit worked as advertised. Fairly quiet, but yet powerful sprayer. Great customer service and would highly recommend this product to anyone." —Boy Wonder CTS

    Get it from Amazon for $229.99.

    12. As well as an instant stain remover spray to ensure all of the black mold and mildew are gone from your patio chairs. Just spray it on and be amazed as it starts to remove all the grossness instantly.

    Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark

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

    Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).

    14. A jar of The Pink Stuff — this famous all-purpose cleaning paste has over 140,000 5-star reviews for a reason! 🌟 It can help remove even the toughest stains, dirt, grime, and rust from your appliances, walls, dishes, glass, floors, you name it! So, basically, it's a must for your spring cleaning checklist.

    Promising review: "Honestly I was very skeptical when I first purchased. Everyone on social media was talking about how amazing this product was for cleaning around the house and I just thought they were all jumping on some kind of bandwagon. Of course I caved and had to try it for myself. Needless to say I’m very impressed! It removed stubborn mold and grime from my shower tile grout with use of a hard-bristle toothbrush. It removed hard water stains from my sinks and faucets. I noticed it really does remove mineral buildup, but it takes a lot of elbow grease and repetitive applications before you start seeing progress. The texture feels similar to when you mix honey with sugar to make a lip scrub, except it’s super-fine grit and more pasty like putty or clay. It works amazing so far! No overpowering smell (barely any smell at all), easy to use, and a little product goes a long way. I haven’t tried it on rust yet so we’ll see how that goes. Overall very pleased and impressed so far. Highly recommend!" —Marissa 

    Get it from Amazon for $5.29.

    15. Burt's Bees after-sun soothing lotion so you can get some sweet relief from that angry sunburn that appeared with a vengeance during spring break — despite the fact that you reapplied sunscreen all day! Uhhg. This soothing lotion uses aloe and coconut oil to moisturize, refresh, and calm your skin. 

    It doesn't contain any parabens, phthalates, petrolatum or SLS.

    Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Highly recommend!" —Jessie Patterson

    Get it from Amazon or $17.08.

    16. Bissell multipurpose carpet and upholstery cleaner perfect for spring cleaning because reviewers absolutely love it for removing stains and messes from carpets, furniture, and car interiors. It has a strong spray and suction and a 48 oz. tank to help you tackle big projects. And don't let the fact that it's small and portable fool you; this little green cleaning machine is pow-er-ful!

    Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn’t get the smell out. I was convinced I’d need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I’d have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I’m excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" —Brittany

    Get it from Amazon for $98.

    17. A foot file so you can scrape off the dead skin and calluses and make your feet soft and smooth again. Now they'll be extra ready for sandal season.

    Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product. I've never had dry or cracked heels until recently and I've tried everything I could find to get rid of them! This is all you need!!! I literally opened the box and did this in less than a minute! I'll never use anything else! Even better than professional pedicures!!!" —Kyla Jackson

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

    18. A hair finishing stick to take care of those annoying flyaways that just aren't cooperating thanks to the humidity. Now those high ponytails and topknots you'll be rockin' all spring can last for days at a time.

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    19. Or an edge control gel that'll help lay edges and baby hairs for a sleek look without the flaking and residue. That breeze and misty air doesn't stand a chance!

    BUT we want to add that no one should feel pressure to lay their edges, unless they way want to! Check out, "Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna."

    Promising review: "Hands down! The best edge control I have ever used and I have used a lot of them. Stayed all day! No flakes and non-greasy! And this one is not even the strongest in the line. Love this product!" —Seabea2013

    Get it from Amazon for $5.74+ (available in five sizes).

    20. A pack of duster sponges — just get them damp, swipe them across a dusty surface, and you'll be impressed at just how effective they are. In addition to dust, the ridged sponges also help pick up hair and other questionable debris. So, if you're suffering from allergies, these might be just what you need in your spring cleaning arsenal. 

    Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic they are perfect and dust free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

    Get a pack of four from Amazon for $8.49 (available in five color packs).

    21. A jar of O'Keeffe's hand cream that'll really come in ~handy~ to repair the painful blisters and cracked skin that winter left behind.

    Promising review: "Every winter, my fingers and knuckles crack and bleed. I've tried everything on the market to heal my hands. I received this hand cream yesterday and when I put it on, I could tell right away that this was better than anything I'd tried. This stuff started working immediately. I filled all the cuts and cracks on my hands with this cream, and today they are almost healed. I believe that this is the best hand cream ever made on earth." —Steve

    Get it from Amazon for $9.46 (also available in packs of two and 12).

    22. And O'Keeffe's Lip Repair, which is an overnight lip treatment that thousands of reviewers are raving about for saving their dry, chapped lips. It uses deep conditioning oils to bring you results in a single night! No more burning lips on those spring days that still feel like winter.

    Promising review: "When I travel, my lips get so chapped! It's painful. I found this product when I searched for something for extremely chapped lips. I've used other O'Keeffe's products so I trusted the brand. I used this as directed in the morning and before bed and my lips healed up faster than ever. Also, on the next trip I went on, I took it with me and used it daily. My lips stayed healthy and didn't get chapped at all. This stuff is magic and I won't go anywhere without it now." —Anna C. Adams

    Get it from Amazon for $10.08.

    23. A Maybelline Dark Circles Treatment Concealer for anyone who is still struggling to adjust to the time change and has been getting a little less sleep because of it. It blends quickly and easily with the help of a handy built-in sponge applicator. Say goodbye to under-eye bags.

    Read our Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer review (#4 on the list)!

    Here's an excerpt: "I still don’t know how a $7 tube of concealer (I use the Neutralizer shade) beats out the more expensive ones I have stuffed into my vanity, but it does. It’s not too creamy or thick, yet it still gives solid coverage without the cake-y feeling. When I am done with my entire routine, my eyes look lighter and brighter, but not in a way that’s totally obvious — even when photos are taken and the flash is on. Basically what I am saying here is this is a staple beauty product that, IMHO, deserves a place in every makeup bag!" —Kayla Suazo, former BuzzFeed Shopping editor

    Get it from Amazon for $8.54+ (available in 18 shades).

    24. And a Saem under-eye balm formulated with Iceland moss and mineral water to hydrate the delicate skin under your eyes and assist in tightening the skin, brightening it, and reducing puffiness.

    Promising review: "I bought this on a whim cause I’ve had issues with puffy dark under eyes my whole life and I just thought the package was so cute. Using this however actually is amazing, it's so cooling and you can really feel it hydrate your skin! I actually bought another under-eye gel mask to use which irritated my skin immediately but I wiped it off and put this one on. Not only did it cool and take away the irritation right away, but it did help with the puffiness! Amazing cannot recommend enough will def buy more." —Samantha Colella

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    25. A compact rechargeable hair trimmer, which can be used on dry skin without shaving cream, to step in for anyone who is sick of waxing or shaving in the shower (and the skin irritation that can come along with it). If your preference is to have hairless legs when you break out all of your spring skirts and dresses, then this will give you a quick, smooth shave without pain.

    Promising review: "I love love love this shaver. It works great. Easy to use. Its design is a comfortable fit in my hand. The side grips allow no slipping. The more I use it the smoother my legs are. I have coarse hair and trouble with razor burn and ingrown hairs. Thus unit feels like an exfoliant treatment each time I use it. Really great. No irritation. I highly recommend it." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $40

    26. A broom for pet and human hair basically guaranteed to make your rugs look new again, even if your pet has been shedding all over the place. The 100% natural rubber brush picks up hair and fuzz like a magnet and easily removes it from carpets, rugs, hardwood, and linoleum. So no need to throw away that area rug you love just because it's full of dog hair.

    Plus, the built-in squeegee edge can also be used to clean windows, showers, and windshields. Use it to clean up liquid spills on tile, concrete, or any hardwood surface too. It's basically a must-have to keep your floors shining.

    Promising review: "I have two dogs — a terrier mix and a short-hair dachshund mix. I have a navy woven couch that LOVES my dachshund's fur. I have tried pretty much everything to get the fur out — traditional lint roller, those blue fuzzy lint rollers, special vacuum attachments, etc. The terrier's fur comes out great with all of those options. The dachshund's fur, much like the dachshund herself, remains stubbornly on my couch. I got this product as the new 'let's see if it works' item of the month with low expectations. THE FUR ACTUALLY CAME OUT GUYS. It acts like a broom for my couch — sweeping the fur (with some elbow grease) basically onto the floor where I vacuum it up! Give this a try if my story sounds pretty similar to yours!" —JT

    Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

    27. A silicone- and paraben-free L’Oréal lamellar hair treatment that'll help give you silky, shiny locks in eight seconds flat if winter has wreaked havoc on your hair! It uses moisturizing agents and amino acids to target damaged areas of your hair and smooth it without weighing it down.

    Promising review: "I don’t usually do reviews on products, but for this one I absolutely have to. I have 3c type hair and struggle with a lot a breakage, unmanageability, and moisture. When my mom mentioned this product to me, I didn’t take her seriously because of the simple fact that we have two completely different hair textures. I never would have thought this brand would work on my hair ... I have never in my 22 years felt my hair like this. I feel like I have a completely different head of hair. This product is so amazing and I will FOREVER be using this product in my hair regimen." —Theressa Hailey

    Get it from Amazon for $9.59.

    28. These natural green tea blotting sheets made to help eliminate that T-zone oiliness on-the-go. They can be used with or without makeup on and will give your face a nice, soothing refresh. Great for anyone who tends to get extra oily as soon as the weather warms up.

    Promising review: "I LOVE these oil-absorbing sheets! I tried them out a few years ago but didn't get around to writing a review until now. I've tried other blotting sheets, and they've either broken me out or just did not absorb all the oil. Every time I come back to these, I realize they are truly the best. I have SUPER-oily skin (and cystic acne, which I have the scars to show for), and this makes me feel sooo fresh and even calms down active pimples/acne. As you can see, it truly removes all of the oil and keeps it that way for several hours. Very cute design, too, and really easy to use and keep anywhere with you. Amazing price for what it does. If you're hesitating to buy it, just go for it!" —Noopur D.
