1. A powerful shower door cleaner that's designed to get rid of soap scum and hard water stains. Because right now your shower door looks like an abstract painting in a horror movie. Get the sparkling shine you deserve!
Promising review: "Holy cow I've been trying to get my clear glass shower doors clean using other products and to no avail they just weren't getting clean. This product is AMAZING! Worth every penny! You will not be sorry you bought this. After using this product to get the doors sparkling clean I also used the Rain-X Shower Door Repellent to keep water stains from building up again so that it doesn't have to be cleaned as often. Buy them both. You won't be sorry." —Melanie Barka

2. An Essence mascara if you're looking for bold and intense lashes even *you* will think came from falsies. Salon quality at a fraction of the cost? Yes, please!
Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews of products but this one is worth it!!! I loooove it! For the price, it is the best mascara I have ever used, hands down! My lashes are short and very light-colored. This stuff lasts all day, doesn’t smudge, and is reasonably easy to remove with makeup remover. My new fave mascara for sure!!!" —Amazon Customer

3. A CeraVe body wash with salicylic acid and ceramides to help you deal with any "chicken skin" flare-ups. This will exfoliate your skin and leave it feeling moisturized!
Promising reviews: "Excellent for KP or other dry, rough skin issues. A must for me especially during the winter." —Abby
"This stuff is AMAZING! I have had bumps on the back of my arms and top of my thighs for as long as I can remember. I've used this with an exfoliating sponge TWICE and they are noticeably smaller and my arms actually feel smooth!! I'm sure as I continue to use it they will be gone completely. I rarely write reviews but had to come tell you all how awesome this stuff is if you are dealing with the same problems. NO MORE CHICKEN SKIN!! YAYY." —Taymcg

4. Three packs of Bottle Bright cleaning tablets because regular ole soap and water hasn't gotten rid of the tough stains and odors in your travel mugs and water bottles. The best part is, there's no scrubbing involved. So you get super clean gear with minimal effort!
Promising review: "My tea mug was horrible: 'stainless' steel that was totally brown from tea. It's now shiny and silver again. I used it on my coffee mug and my gym water bottle as well, and they're all like new! I highly recommend it, and it works super fast. No scent during or after use." —afK2

5. A coconut oil-rich leave-in cream you can let air dry for perfectly smooth and hydrated curls! And because it's also made with shea butter, your curls won't crunch. Just frizz-free hair from here on out.
Promising reviews: "Not only did my natural waves come out, but my hair feels so soft and looks healthy. This product is also very cost effective! Highly recommend!" —Carmina
"I'm so grateful that I found this product. My hair is wavy and frizzy. Every once in a great while my waves resemble curls but the frizz is always there. I've only used this product one time so far and I never want to be without it. I put some on after towel drying (no brushing) my hair, and my waves actually resembled curls! It wasn't instant so I was skeptical but after about 15 minutes I caught a glimpse of my hair in the mirror and I was amazed. It looked styled. I slept on it and it still looked great in the morning!!!" —mich0610
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.
6. A pack of Affresh dishwasher cleaner tablets so you don't risk limescale and mineral buildup affecting your dishwasher's performance. If a dishwasher can't properly wash dishes...it's essentially just a wet cabinet.
Promising reviews: "I had tried lots of white vinegar for two cycles in my 20-year-old dishwasher for the cloudy and powdery dinginess it had started making and it only helped about 30%. We have very hard water. These tablets zapped the buildup and my glass is clear again and colored plastics no longer have the powder-like coating. So glad I took a chance on this!" —J. Holden
“I started getting white streaks all over my dishes; that never happened before. I thought it was my detergent and changed it, but no difference. Clean dishes with this weird white film on them. I'd wash them by hand, then put them back in the dishwasher, and white film again! Then I did an internet search to figure out what was going on (a dishwasher is an incredibly simple piece of machinery) and found this! Bought it. Used it. My dishes are clean again!” —Carey Holzman
Get six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
7. A multi-fabric cleaner if you pride yourself on keeping your couch, mattress, and carpet clean but pets, kids, and partners have a tendency to make them look incredibly, uhhhh, lived on.
Promising review: “AMAZING PRODUCT! I WILL BUY AGAIN!! I just got a brand-new mattress and my cat got locked in my room and peed on my mattress in two places, leaving two big yellow SMELLY stains! I was worried about finding a product that would be OK on my pillow top mattress. I was skeptical at first with the product being so cheap but the reviews had me sold! I sprayed it on my mattress liberally and waited five minutes as instructed. It says to blot but with my stains I scrubbed and was amazed when the stain started to disappear. I repeated one time and I honestly can’t locate where the stains used to be! Super impressed! Like others I also really appreciated the nice fragrance! Didn’t smell like chemicals at all!” —Hailey Brown
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
8. A lightweight E.l.f. putty primer infused with squalane to help minimize pores and moisturize your skin. This vegan formula will grip your makeup so it doesn't slip and slide all day long.
Promising reviews: “This is definitely a 'buy again!' It goes on incredibly clean and leaves your skin supple and smooth. After applying normal makeup, it feels just incredible and looks fabulous!” —Cheryl Caroll
"Normally my makeup goes on great, but then once it dries it's super crusty and shows my pores. But this made everything so smooth and my skin has never looked so healthy." —Taylor Kessinger
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
9. A value pack of Scrubbing Bubbles cleaning stamps since rings have been forming around the inside of your toilet. This will keep your toilet bowl fresh and clean with every flush.

Promising review: "After a friend recommended these, I had to try them. I love them! Wouldn’t be without them. Light scent, but noticeable. Definitely noticed the toilet bowl seems to stay cleaner longer, and no water ring stains in toilets." —N.R. Williams
Get 24 stamps from Amazon for $13.87.
10. Or an automatic toilet bowl cleaning system — hang this cartridge inside of the tank and attach the corresponding tubes and it will clean your toilet bowl every time you flush. Formulated with bleach, you'll be sure to get a deep clean. Plus, each cartridge lasts up to three months!
Promising review: "This item is easy to install and it works exactly as advertised! It keeps the bowl clean and it smells like you just cleaned too! It really does work for a very long time. Mine has already been in for two months and it's still clean. I love it! I would recommend this to anyone." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
11. A jar of eucalyptus toilet-cleaning bombs that are basically bath bombs for your toilet if it's in need of a bit of a clean. These natural, chemical-free cleaners will be well received by your toilet and your nose.
Happy Earth Boutique is a woman-owned small business making healthier alternatives for your health and home.
These are great for regular maintenance!
Promising review: "The eucalyptus is strong and it fizzes nicely. I drop one in once or twice a week and scrub the toilet a bit, and the scent lingers after flushing. Perfect for keeping my bathroom fresh!" —kd Bromley
Get 15 toilet fizzies from Happy Earth Boutique on Etsy for $12.99+ (also available with a glass jar).
12. A pack of teeth-whitening pens to get rid of coffee and wine stains for far less money than you might've thought. This pen's soft-bristle brush is perfect for anyone with sensitive teeth. It even makes application as easy as saying CHEESE!
Promising review: “I was hesitant to try a new teeth-whitening product after using harsh whitening strips that caused pain and lingering sensitivity. But, as a coffee and red wine drinker, I wanted to find a solution. This teeth-whitening pen is terrific. It's easy to use, works well, and does not have the downside of either the strips or the $450 option at the dentist. I also really love this product since whitening my front teeth is the objective. It is a great value as I anticipate the two pens that are included will last one year. I will definitely buy this again and am very happy to recommend it.” —Rebecca Shehee
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $19.99.
13. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!
Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo
Get it from Amazon for $18.61+ (available in two scents).
14. A water-based instant carpet spot remover — all messes should be quick and easy to clean. Say goodbye to those stubborn wine, pet, coffee, food, and dirt stains!
Promising reviews: "I am really impressed by this carpet spot remover. I haven’t found anything that works as well. I used it on pet stains that were months old. One treatment with this and they were gone. Works exactly as promised." —Diana L. Williams
"I seldom write product reviews but I will in this case. The only reason I'm giving the Folex 5 stars is because there's no place to give it 10. My dog, Sweetie, while playing on the tan carpeting in the family room, got hold of a blue Pilot G2 pen and chewed through the outer casing and through the ink cartridge, leaving an approximately 6-inch-by-12-inch area of carpeting splotched with blue ink. It took four or five applications, but following the label instructions to the letter, the spot was totally removed. Way to go Folex. Outstanding!" —Bob
Get it from Amazon for $6.65 (also available in larger pack sizes).
15. A pack of K-Cup cleaners if you haven't cleaned your machine in awhile and your coffee hasn't been tasting quite like coffee lately. Pop one of these nontoxic cups into your Keurig to give it the deep clean it's been needing.
Promising reviews: "I use these every six weeks or so to keep my machine from getting gnarly and disgusting. They do exactly what they promise and are super easy to use. Staple in my household since trying them for the first time." —Azure Look
“I bought this product because the needle in my Keurig 2.0 keeps clogging, causing inconsistent brew and taste. These cleaning cups fixed both of my issues and especially liked that it was really quick and easy to use. I put the cleaning pod in and ran one cycle, then took the pod out and ran a rinse cycle to clean out any leftover grinds. FAST, EASY, and GREAT results…VERY HAPPY!!” —Corey West
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $9.95.
16. A garbage disposal cleaner that'll foam up and scrub your disposal, leaving a fresh scent behind instead of icky drain pipe odors.
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
Get a box (good for four uses) from Amazon for $8.50.
17. A children's leave-in detangling conditioner for curly hair made with jojoba oil, vitamin B5, and plum seed oil so wash day for your little one is waaaay easier.
Reviewers say this conditioner works on hair types 2–4!
Promising review: "This is the BEST product EVER! I will never use another hair detangler ever again. We use this product daily in my house, my daughter, my son, and I. Both of us girls have long and thick curly hair and it allows us to brush through our hair with no problems! And my son mostly uses it to style his hair before gel, and because it smells so good! We tried all the products at Walmart and a few from Ulta and Target, and nothing was good enough. Then someone recommended this! Now it’s been on my Subscribe & Save every month!" —Tamira McLelland
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
18. Paula's Choice BHA liquid exfoliant if you're sensitive to scents but want to gently unclog your pores, as well as exfoliate and brighten your skin. This unscented leave-on formula is even safe enough for daily use.
Promising review: "I bought this in a dark time: My skin texture was garbage, all my pores were massive, I had clogged pores all over my face, and I was just waiting for them to become actual acne. I got this because I just wanted SOMETHING to help with my skin texture while I waited for my oral prescription. Now listen here — THE FIRST time I used it, I saw a difference. My forehead and my cheeks right to the side of my nose were flawless. I don’t know what kind of stuff was in it that provided immediate results. I thought maybe that was just 'fake' results, like it has something to gloss over the skin surface to give the appearance of smoothness. But then I used this stuff twice a day for four days, and alllll of the tiny red pimples all over my cheeks and forehead were gone and my pores STAYED small! I am telling you. This product has changed my whole face in under a week. It’s so clear! I expect to have full celebrity skin going forward. You have to try this. You barely need to use any of it, too. It’s a thicker gel liquid, so it smooths on so easily and you don’t have to use a ton like with a toner or micellar water. I’m just shook. I’ll buy this for the rest of my life!!" —K Fied
Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in two sizes).
19. A daily moisturizing cream with shea butter that'll lock in moisture and vitamin E oil that'll encourage hair growth. Dull and brittle hair? Not here!
TGIN is a Black woman-owned small business making haircare products specifically for Black women.
Promising review: "This stuff is the holy grail of moisturizers. The smell is lovely, not too strong, or fruity, or overpowering. This is the first moisturizer I’ve EVER used that keeps my hair supple and soft for days. Before my hair would feel brittle after a few hours and I’d have to apply twice a day. With this stuff, I don’t even have to put it in every day, even though I do. I absolutely love the way it’s made a difference in my hair. I have natural short 4c hair." —Kasie
20. A pack of washing machine cleaner tablets because no one wants to toss dirty clothes into a dirty machine. These tablets dissolve to remove any residue that may have built up, so you can be sure your favorite blanket comes out smelling fresh!
Promising review: "I never knew how tough it would be to clean my high-efficiency washer. It is a never-ending battle. Life is a little easier now that I can toss in a tab and have it do most of the work for me." —Maggie Dennis

21. An allergy supplement to help your itchy pup stop scratching due to skin, seasonal, or environmental allergens. They're also rich with vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics said to support digestion and immunity.
Promising review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine...nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats...he eats these every time, so that’s an added bonus!" —Darcie Nation

Based in Santa Monica, Heartspring is a woman-owned small Etsy shop hand-making natural skincare products.
Promising review: "This is the perfect shade of color! Not too dark and not too bright! I also love the way it goes on. I’m not a fan of wearing any product on my lips because it always feels too sticky or tacky. This is lightweight and it feels like nothing. I wish I had bought two: one for my purse and one for my makeup bag! Will definitely order again!" —arich1622
Get it from Heartspring on Etsy for $8.
24. The Pink Stuff cleaning paste because no sticky saucepans, streaky stainless steel, or gunked-up glass shall prosper against you or this versatile and easy-to-use cleaner.

Promising review: "Recently I purchased a gorgeous peacock blue, knee-length winter coat from a thrift store. I was not eager to take it to a dry cleaner due to the high charges in our area. My dear friend recommended Woolite At Home Dry Cleaner. I purchase this item from Amazon and was so very pleased with the outcome. It is fresh, clean, and substantially less expensive than a commercial dry cleaner. This product did an awesome job and will recommend to all in the future!" —Nina

Promising review: “I wasn't sure if this was going to hold up to its promise...but it did! I used this on a massive zit growing on my nose, making me look like Rudolph, and the first night it took down the swelling a bit and lessened the redness. Day Two it was significantly smaller in width and circumference! If that doesn't help you decided to purchase this, nothing will." —Cassee Colson
Get 36 patches from Amazon for $12.99.
27. A reparative K-beauty snail mucin essence with a hydrating and hypoallergenic formula that'll help remove dark spots and fine lines. Damaged and dry skin will be a thing of the past!
Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I have suffered from minor acne for almost two years and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving onto K-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable but it was gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone." —Marc

29. A pack of stain removal pads so you can get rid of those pesky pet stains by simply setting a pad down and stepping on it. No scrubbing needed! They'll lift away even the most set-in stains!
Promising review: “These things are AMAZING. They are magical. If you have a pet that has accidents in the house, these are a MUST-HAVE. After your pet has an accident, all you need to do is open up the packet, place the pad on the accident spot, and then step on the pad to release the magic formula. Leave it there for at least a half an hour or up to 24 hours. Why the discrepancy, you might be asking? Because these pads work on DRIED STAINS! My puppy has been driving me bonkers with accidents in the house, but I don't sweat it anymore thanks to these pads. I will always have a supply of them in my house going forward.” —Lisa Koivu

Promising review: "I LOVE these things! I like to work out over my lunch hour to break up the day but don't have time to get lost in my thoughts in a post-shower, so I throw one of these bad boys in my gym bag and swipe right (then left, then little circular motions). The scent is just right that no one knows I got my sweat on at the gym but not overpowering like the Margaret who works in accounts payable and has been with the company forever's perfume. I love them so much I fully plan on stocking my camper and boat with them come spring. Recommend to anyone." —Molly B
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $12.29 (also available in a pack of two).

Have given it as hostess gifts several times and everyone gets hooked." —Martha Ronemus
