    31 Problem-Solving Products That Succeeded Where All Others Had Failed

    This is your friendly reminder to clean your AirPods.

    1. A multi-use skincare oil to treat a variety of issues, including uneven skin, stretch marks, and acne scars. It helps your body retain moisture (bye bye dry skin!) and absorbs into the skin fast so you won't feel greasy.

    2. A bag of orthodontic flossers for anyone with braces who's tired of having to weave string floss through their wires. These are better than regular flossers if you have braces because one end is a handy dandy spatula that's designed to fit under the wire and the other end is a pick that can move plaque and food around the brackets.

    3. A moisturizing hair treatment if you want a a quick burst of hydration. In just eight seconds — eight! — it starts working to leave your mane feeling silkier, softer, and smoother after washing.

    4. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray so soap scum and shower grime buildup goes bye bye without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.

    Before: a dirty shower floor; after: the clean shower floor

    5. A pack of AirPod cleaners because you wanna clearly hear your true crime podcast. Squish the flexible square into your AirPod speaker, peel it off, and gasp in horror at the ear goop that's been dulling the sound quality. That photo! That goop!

    6. A pack of disgustingly effective sticky traps that'll help you snag those pesky gnats that are terrorizing your plants.

    7. A pair of super absorbent period underwear to handle your business without leaving you feeling like you're wearing a wet diaper.

    8. A scratch remover for black cars so no one has to know that you accidentally swiped the mailbox when you pulled into the driveway. It's also a much cheaper alternative to driving to the autoshop.

    9. A pet hair remover if you love your fur baby but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    10. A tonsil stone remover so you can *finally* treat the root cause of your bad breath. This tool has a built-in LED light so you can easily locate the tonsil stone. Plus it also comes with a syringe to help you wash out the pocket the tonsil stone left behind.

    11. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover because all the other glass cleaners in your cabinet haven't been able to do the job yet.

    12. A set of wad-free pads that'll keep your bedsheets from tangling in the wash. If you've ever opened the dryer expecting...well...dry sheets only to find them tangled in a damp ball, you need this.

    13. An acne patch to save the day when a pimple pops up at the *worst* possible moment. Hydrocolloid, tea tree oil, and calendula oil are gentle on the skin while still drawing out fluids and pus from your pimple.

    14. A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets for anyone whose devotion to caffeine doesn't outweigh their laziness. It's OK — these bad boys will do all the heavy lifting for you so your beloved thermos is crystal clean quicker than it took you to make those stains.

    15. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement if your doggo needs some sweet, sweet relief from itchy hotspots. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to improve immune function, aide digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.

    16. A natural stain remover spray so grass stains, blood, sweat, pasta sauce, oil, makeup, pet accidents, dirt are NBDs. Plus, it's safe to use on cloths (including silk), carpets, cloth diapers, and other washable materials.

    17. A TikTok famous pink cleaning paste because your oven door looks like the one on the left (crusted in food bits) but it can look like the one on the right (sparkly clean).

    18. A pair of memory foam slippers with a collapsible heel that'll treat your feet to utter bliss. You know the derpy smile dogs make when they're getting really good head scratches? That'll be you every time you take a step in these fleece-lined slippers.

    19. A pack of suction cup hooks to keep your stuff off the ground — unlike those other adhesive wall hooks that almost immediately fell *and* took the paint with it.

    20. A powerline adapter for anyone who's struggling to do work (or even just use the internet on their phone!) because of suuuuuper sloooooooow Wi-Fi. This is a great alternative to a long ethernet cable that'll inevitably get tangled or be in the way as you can just plug it into the wall anywhere and strengthen the Wi-Fi connection of your devices.

    21. A plant-based stainless-steel cleaner and polish if your fridge has been covered in smudges and fingerprints for so long that you've forgotten how beautiful and shiny it once was. Reviewers say it helps keep your surfaces smudge free for longer, meaning less cleaning for you!

    22. A beeswax wood polisher so you can revive your dinged and dented cabinets and table quick as a flash. Plus, this method is a heck of a lot cheaper than actually replacing the wood, and using this polish on a regular basis can actually help keep the wood hydrated so it lasts longer.

    23. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets because they clean as your machine runs — no need to spend your precious free time cleaning it by hand.

    24. A pack of fizzing toilet tabs that'll loosen stains in your toilet bowl and leave behind a refreshing scent. Think of it as a sanitizing bath bomb that disinfects your toilet.

    25. A volcanic stone face roller to remove the oil and shine from your face. And unlike oil-blotting sheets, the ball can be popped out and washed so you can use this over and over and over again.

    26. Or an Etude House drying powder for help controling your skin's oil production. You can also apply it to your hair (make sure you dust off the residue) so your roots look freshly washed.

    27. A box of cleaning K-Cups if you want to get rid of residue in your machine and prevent flavors from transferring. Or have fun descaling your machine multiple times.

    28. A mold and mildew remover so finally — finally! — those unsightly black splotches on your tile grout dissolve, never to be seen again. Just set it, forget it, and come back in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. I'm talking basically every speck of black mold is gone! *Cues up "Do You Believe in Magic"*

    29. A fridge deodorizer because that bowl of baking soda just isn't cutting it. It's effective for up to six months and will keep your produce fresh for longer.

    30. An ~egg-celent~ set of silicone egg poaching cups that'll help you whip up the most perfect poached eggies — no yolk! — unlike all the other egg poachers you've bought, used once, and then moved to the kitchen gadget graveyard.

    31. A pack of foaming garbage disposal cleaners to deodorize your sink once and for all. If you have to smell last week's rotting veggie peels for one more minute you just might scream.
