Watching grime, stains, and dirt vanish like magic is kinda exciting, am I right?
Promising review: "This stuff works better than shout or bleach. My dog escaped our yard and was covered in mud. My husband fell in a mud hole while trying to catch her and she got mud all over him when he finally did. I tried shout, laundry detergent and bleach and it didn’t even make a difference. Fels Naptha got that Oklahoma red dirt out of a white t-shirt. I really thought I was going to have to trash the clothes but the shirt looks good as new!!!! This stuff really is magic." —Sooner28

It comes in a powder AND liquid form, and I've used both. The stovetop was used with the liquid cleanser, and the pot was used with the powder. Both work equally as well!
Annnnyway, these are actual photos (left) of MY horrid stove before I tested out this liquid cleaner. I had terrible water burns and nothing I tried got rid of them. I poured some of it on the non-scratch dishcloth that comes with the bottle, and within minutes, all the stains were gone. Seriously, I actually look forward to getting water burns just so I can use this and watch them vanish.

Promising review: "If I could give this 10 stars I would!!! I'm a little of a fanatic when it comes to keeping my jewelry clean, especially my wedding set. I tried this product on my diamonds, Swarovski crystals, and Brighton jewelry and the results are nothing less than amazing!!! This restored one of my Swarovski rings that I have not worn in years due to the cloudy color to a sparkling brilliance the first day I bought it!!! I cannot recommend this product enough!!! I just ordered additional wands so I don't run out!!! Home run Amazon!!!!!!!!!!" —Kristina B.

Cleaning is a war we cannot lose!!! And part of the reason I dread cleaning so much is because I have to lug out 20 different products. Of course, the inevitable happens, and I misplace the Windex so I spend five minutes walking around my entire apartment until I find where I last left it. Having a caddy makes it much easier to keep all my products together. Plus, I feel so much more prepared when heading into a battle with my bathroom.

OK, before you go and judge me, I'd like to defend myself and say that my building is really old. When I moved into my apartment, it looked like there hadn't been repairs since the '60s, and that included re-caulking the bathtub. I tried bleach and every type of shower cleaner at the store, but nothing removed the mold and mildew stains that had been there for like, 40 years. UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS INCREDIBLE MAGIC GEL. The before and after pictures speak for themselves, and were taken after only one treatment. I am one happy customer.

You will never use paper towels to clean again, and I firmly stand by that statement.
Promising review: "These are superior to the several other brands I've tried and they perform extremely well. They do have annoying tags to remove but it's a small price to pay considering how well they absorb, clean anything, and come clean in the washer. The well-sewn edges have held up beautifully after several machine washings, they air dry quickly, and the 80%/20% is the ideal fabric content for microfiber. These are also just the right thickness and density to do pretty much everything that can be done with microfiber." —C. Bright

Promising reviews: "Got dried black paint out of a white carpet!" —Erica Puskar
"If you are ever thinking you might need this, TRUST ME you do! This is only the second review I’ve ever written, but felt like I needed to because this product is so amazing. My 2-year-old threw up chocolate milk on our cream carpet. It was a complete disaster. I tried everything and nothing even made a dent in it, until this. It’s also scentless, which was great because I got the stain up right before my little girl’s bedtime. TOP NOTCH!" —Jillian Briggs

Promising review: "My washer started smelling a bit funky several months after we got it. I didn't understand why I couldn't just run bleach in my machine to clean it out occasionally, until I actually ran one of these tablets (free sample with my washer). The key is that the tablet goes in the washer drum, and doesn't dissolve right away. So as the washer runs through several repeated cycles of fill, agitate, and drain, the tablet is still there, sudsing up the water on cycles two and three. If you just put bleach in the soap dispenser, it would all be gone after cycle one. Also, this gets very sudsy and that probably helps it reach some areas of the machine that wouldn't otherwise get touched." —aberson

Promising review: "I wasn't sure if this was a gimmick or not. Turns out it works really well. I have four metal thermos-like containers that are used to keep tea warm every day. Over time, the tea stained the insides and was very difficult to remove. I added one of these tablets to the container, filled it with hot water, and let it sit for a few hours. When I came back to rinse it out, I was literally amazed at how clean it was. I think it looked cleaner than when they were new. I called my wife over to show her, and she was equally impressed. Awesome product!" —Robert A Moreno II

The brush kit comes with three style of brushes: two for surface cleaning, and a rounder one for getting in the corners! The attachments have a quarter inch shaft so they should fit standard cordless drills.
Keep in mind, this is *just* for the brush attachments. The power drill is not included — but if you want one you can get a good one for $59.99.
Promising review: "I have NO idea why this product would ever have less than a 5-star review. It is a great brush set. I used all three in an effort to get some mildew stains off the grout in my shower. NOTHING worked, but a bit of Soft Scrub (bleach) and these brushes worked like a charm! I then used the larger brush on the floor of the shower, and to remove some soap scum from the glass shower doors. WOW! Where has this been all my life?! Excellent product, and it works like it should in conjunction with your power drill." —SomeGirl

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

Promising review: "It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS

It comes with five microfiber sleeves.
Promising review: We built in a new community and the construction dust is a constant battle. I've been using the Swiffer Duster on my blinds, but it just didn't seem to do that great of a job. You would not believe the dust and dirt this got off my blinds! It takes a little longer to do the blinds, but they are much cleaner. I also like that I'm not adding to the landfill when I use this product. —Amazon Customer

Ok, this one is more of an intensely gross fun...
Promising review: "You will not regret buying these. I had constant draining issues in my shower. I did not expect these 'drain snakes' to work so well! They are made out of sturdy plastic and I was able to use it both on my shower AND my sink drains before being too grossed out and needing to throw it away. I live in a rented townhouse, and for sure the complex company I rent from did not keep their drains clean because the amount of hair and gunk I pulled out was disgusting. (Not for the faint of stomach). I rarely ever post reviews on Amazon, but I loved this product so much that I had to post." —Nhi

Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever... It was dry and dirty and not much to look at. I used this product on it and the oak wood literally came alive showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel — and a fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski

Promising review: "My grill accumulated a lot of crud as a result of many cookouts. I tried to keep it as clean as possible with a wire brush and various cleaning pads and cleaners. I never could get the rack and grates to look like new. There was always a layer of permanent food residue, carbon, and other debris that defied removal. I decided to give the Magic Stone Grill Cleaner a shot. Surprise! Surprise! This is truly a magic stone. It removed everything from the grill parts that I worked on and left them looking like new. The cleaning process did put grooves in the bottom of the stone and that helped to get the sides cleaned off as well." —Duffer

How does anything get more fun than this?!
Promising Review: "I was so interested to see if this brush cleaner would work because just like everyone else, washing makeup brushes is such a tedious chore. After reading all the reviews here, good and bad, I thought this would be good to try. One thing I thought that others had mentioned as well was to be able to rinse the brush before drying it. Made sense to me, but the idea of dumping out the dirty water and refilling with clean water for every brush seemed too time consuming. So, I went to my local Dollar Tree and bought a little round glass bowl for a dollar (!) that looks just like the kit bowl, to put my rinse water in. I just wash my brush in the soapy water then move it to the rinse water, swish it around to rinse, then spin dry. Works like a charm! I got all my brushes washed and dried in about 10 minutes and didn’t waste any time or water. Love this system, even my big powder brush stayed on and spun dry." —Amazing Amazon

Promising review: "I recently took it upon myself to refinish my family's ancient '60s cutting boards...you know, the ones that slide out from the counters and are an original part of a horribly outdated pink-tiled kitchen. I have three of these cutting boards in total. I sanded them down and finished up the wood with this product. My cutting board looks gorgeous and brand new! I've included a picture of the one I refinished (left) and one that hasn't been refinished (right) yet just to give an idea of the transformation. Great product, beautiful cutting boards!" —Shannon Courser

Guys! I am obsessed with this robot vacuum. It made me realize just how much dirt and hair accumulates in my apartment in a single day. I've run this thing daily and it always manages to pick up a ton of dirt and hair. And that's the other big thing! Who has time to vacuum every day? I sure as heck don't. I can get home at the end of the day, press a few buttons, and this thing will do all my vacuuming for me. It's honestly one of the best feelings, and my apartment has never felt cleaner — because this truly does suck up *everything* in its path.

Promising review: "These are awesome! The size of the container is large and so was the quantity I received. The wipes are huge and tough, great for scrubbing! I cleaned my whole house with these and they removed stains I haven't been able to get out for a while. I also tried them on my walls and they did not remove the paint. Also, they smell fantastic: no chemical smell whatsoever. These are a great deal on Amazon, and I will be purchasing them again!" —Suze

Sir! Look at all that hair!
Promising review: "I bought this broom two years ago and it is still going strong! I have four large dogs and we have fur EVERYWHERE! This works so, so well! I am always amazed at what this picks up even after I just ran the vacuum. If you remove the head from the handle you can use the head to do in all the crevices along baseboards where fur gets trapped on the carpets. I also use it that way to do the carpet corners on the stairs. Lastly, I use it to get dust and cobwebs off the floors and ceilings. It truly is a super tool." —Roseann

And you don't have to use it on *just* shower doors! You can apply this stuff to anything that has hard water spots — like windshields, tubs, motorcycles, barbecues, and so on.
Promising review: "I tried every product out there to try to remove the hard water spots on my shower glass. My next step was replacing the glass, but I first tried this. I used it with the white Rotoscrub brush on my battery powered drill and in 10 minutes my glass looks like brand new. I am shocked at how well it worked and how easy it was. Ordered more to clean all my tubs and showers with. See the before and after photos attached." —RichS

Promising review: "This little guy is a game changer. It is so quiet, and so powerful. I was extremely skeptical about buying such a small, not to mention, electric pressure washer because I've only used gas pressure washers in the past. Well I moved into my house last year, and started to wash this driveway off with a friend's gas pressure washer and decided it was not worth the time because it was not getting very much of the grime/dirt off. Well look at what this thing did. This home is near the beach and flooded in Katrina, and probably hasn't ever been pressure washed. This thing worked flawlessly. I can't say enough good things about this purchase. Would buy again with confidence." —James G.
