Not me spending good money on stuff and then absolutely trashing it because I'm too lazy to take care of it.
If your oven is in need of a deep, deep clean, you may need to let this cleaner sit longer, but it'll do a heck of a job lifting all the barnacles of food bits that are crusted on your oven.
Promising review: "You just spray and then you wipe it clean the next morning and you are done." —Jason C

Promising review: "I'm not one to talk about my feet. I've had circulation problems for years that are just now resolving and that has led to deep callouses on the heel of both feet. I bought this on a whim as I have tried other products in the past with no luck. Twenty minutes later I'm touching baby smooth skin where there used to be deep cracks and rough broken skin. This thing is a miracle worker and if I could rate it 10 stars I would." —Gully176

Promising review: "Amazing product. We had very rough grout in high traffic area that I thought for sure would require grinding and regrout. But five minutes and light brushing made it look brand new. Even the really tough areas look new! This works better than any product we’ve ever tried. Money well spent and one bottle did three rooms!" —Scott S.

Promising review: "These are amazing!!! Not only do they clean up stains on the floor from my dog, but also any other stain. Leave on for 24 hours for old stains and they’re gone. My dog went to the bathroom on a white comforter and these pads got the stain completely out. Amazing." —amazonuser

Promising review: "This is the best smelling spray ever! When I read the ingredients I was astounded at how great and natural they all are! I’ve been spraying in my hair at the beginning of the day and it has made my hair so soft, plus everyone says I smell delicious! I spray it on my mat, but also on my pillows, so I go to sleep surrounded by the smell! The ingredients have cause ZERO irritation, and I have super sensitive skin! It’s the opposite! The witch hazel and tea tree oil have made my skin feel great :)" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I let my tub get extra dirty on purpose because I knew this brush set was coming. In five minutes my tub was sparkling clean. This item is no joke. The flat brushes are awesome for big surfaces and the cone brush hits the hard to reach corners. I liked them so much I bought a set for my mom." —Jason B.

It's safe for unwaxed, non-oiled, polyurethane-finished wood flooring. Just spray it on wood and wipe with a mop or Swiffer.
Promising review: "I moved into an apartment with absolutely disgusting wood floors. Whenever I would walk on it my feet would turn black. I used this product as well as a rag and a cleaning brush. It worked very well and now I’m not scared or grossed-out walking on my floors! The pictures are 'before' and 'afters' from cleaning." —fwk

Promising review: "I really like the durability for these chargers. I think the price is worth it because the standard Apple ones cost around the same price just for one but break really easily. I was really glad to find the 10-foot one so I can charge my phone while super far away from my outlet. The charging power I would say is even better than the Apple-certified ones. Great product would buy again if I need in future." —Tommy

Promising review: "If you have enameled cast-iron cookware (Le Creuset) you might want to invest in these to keep your pots and pans scratch free. Also works between frying pans, glass bakeware, etc. Definitely worth the price to keep cookware looking and working like new." —Christine H

Promising review: "They don't call this Oh Yuk! for no reason. I previously used Jacuzzi's two-part system and this worked sooo much better. I was totally embarrassed not to mention grossed out at how much funk came out. It was NASTY! It definitely cleans your tub. You will probably have to clean the sides of your tub after it's finished because of how much stuff might come out. I swear I clean my tub on a regular basis, but I was amazed at how much better this worked. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought for sure they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered 'ruined' for several years and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. I was so impressed! It's absolutely worth getting and trying for yourself! Scuff marks take a bit more time to improve but they do look better after brushing them." —Gaby Scott

Promising review: "This little brush is a beast. Along with the eraser it has taken care of almost all my unfinished leather shoes, except for some red Jello that I had to wash out with a liquid leather cleaner. Works well on both suede and nubuck. Also works well on those wheat colored nubuck boots that are in high demand right now. ԅ། – ‸ – །ᕗ" —Bill B Thorton

The Fizz Whiz is a small business based in Brandon, Florida.

Promising review: "Works as advertised. I find it makes the dark marks disappear much quicker after a breakout. I bought this for mild under eye wrinkles and have definitely seen the difference. Been using it for two months or so and now it's part of my holy grail products. I also noticed that I have had less breakouts since I started using this product." —M. Russell

Promising review: "This stuff really works! I’ve had this kettle for two years now so it has accumulated a lot of stains over the year. I used this stuff on it and a lot of elbow grease (had to do a lot of scrubbing) and I was able to make it look like new! Would recommend!" —BtownGrl

Promising review: "Totally impressed! The unassuming generic packaging and label left me a bit skeptical but this stuff is almost as exciting as the wine I spilled! This cabernet stain sat on my ivory faux fur blanket for over a month before I tried this product. Completely gone in one try! Get this. Seriously. You won’t be disappointed." —PersianTess

Promising review: "When I got these bags (set of three large and three medium), I wasn't sure how clean my clothes would get because the weave is considerably tighter than those cheapo net bags. But I've used them five times through normal wash and my clothes are clean as ever — and the zippers on these bags actually stay zipped so there's no loose netting for the bra hooks to hook on to or shirt zippers to snag. That's what ruined the old bags. These bags are awesome, very sturdy, and protect your fragiles from getting yanked around and stretched. I haven't had any problem with unraveling and other stupid stuff that happened with the cheap fishnet bags. So glad I found these!!" —Sophia

Promising review: "These just came in this past hour and are already in my wall outlets. Several of my outlets are located in odd places with no way around using them or not. I need the outlets. Whenever someone sits on our sofa it pushes against the outlet. I've tried power strips with 'sidesaddle' outlet plugs but only had limited success. This outlet cover is the solution I was looking for and I feel relieved not to be worrying about the outlet getting damaged." —JojoB

Promising review: "I am now the proud owner of THREE of these dog pools. I have an XXL, an XL, and an S pool for our backyard 'frogs' that wouldn't stay out of the big pools! Yes, I bought the frogs their own pool...that's how amazing these pools are! We had the XXL and XL pools out every day last summer (changed the water twice per week) and they were used daily by all three dogs. There have been no punctures of any sort or any issues at all with these pools, and my dogs can play pretty rough at times. The XXL pool was used for both the 2018 and 2019 summers with no issues. These pools are literally my dogs' favorite part of summer... I can't keep them out of them! As soon as we get back from a walk, they jump right in!" —Kate M

Promising review: "My loveseat was looking cracked and faded again after three years. (It’s 13 years old and sits in a room with a big picture window.) The product worked just as well as it did in 2016. I noticed that some buyers have reported issues with color transfer. I followed the directions on the container and never had that problem. It’s important that you wait five minutes and then buff your furniture with a clean dry cloth. I also used this to restore some leather bar stools that were looking a little faded. Our dog scratched our leather sectional, and this balm took care of the scratch, too. I only used 1/2 a container to do a love seat, four bar stools, and a few scratches on our sectional (pictured above). —Casey B

It comes with the brush spinner, charging station, eight rubber collars that securely connect the makeup brush to the spinner, a glass bowl, and a splash guard ring.
Promising review: "I use my makeup brushes daily, and they get filthy. I've used other cleaners and this product wins hands down. The wand and the cleaner itself takes all the hard work and does it for you, not to mention the the brushes dry in seconds. This is the cleanest my brushes have ever been. Highly recommend." —Valerie

Promising review: "When I went on my first solo backpacking trip across Ireland, I only had enough room in my pack for three sets of clothes. I contemplated buying individual packets of laundry detergent, but was glad I decided to go with Zote soap instead. It was easy to carry with me and to use to wash my clothes in the sinks at the hostels I stayed it. This bar will last you forever and made my clothes super clean and smelling nice." —Maryann K.

And even better, it's not too hard for his teeth and isn't toxic for him, so I don't have to worry. Thank you again!!!!! Will definitely purchase more toys from you soon." —Kaya

BuzzFeed Shopping editor Maitland Quitmeyer swears by hers! In her own words:
"Like many of you, I've been living in sweats and PJs during this almost-year of WFH full time. And it's made me revisit the state of some of my loungewear. Take for example, this college sweatshirt I wear all the time — as evidenced by the rather EXTENSIVE pilling all over it. So when I saw this pumice-esque sweater stone (it's made from upcycled car windshield glass — how cool is that?!), I decided it was worth the try. We've featured electric pill removers (mostly the fan-favorite Conair one) many times, and they really work. But sometimes you're looking for a little more detail or control — that's where this stone comes in handy. I was able to navigate around the contours of the logo on my sweatshirt with ease, removing pills using the corner or the entire flat bottom in a few quick strokes. It truly took no time at all — the sweatshirt was done in mere minutes. The only thing I would note is that particles do 'fall out' of the stone, so do your pill-removing on a surface that's easy to sweep or vacuum up at the end."
