    Promising review: “I have tried everything to get my nails to dry when I paint them at home. I’ve tried top coats, water bath with ice, and time (lots of time) waiting patiently for my nails to dry. And after several hours, my nail polish is always ruined. Today I tried the OPI Rapid Dry spray and my nails dried super quickly! I'm going on two hours after painting my nails, and I've been able to do dishes and laundry. My nails are still dry and look amazing. I highly recommend this product! Thanks OPI!!!!!” —April C.

    Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old master bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease.

Very extremely knotty hair will take about 7 to 15 minutes, but if you have only a knot and other little knots, it only takes about two to five minutes!" —Naomi

    Promising review: "I swear by these plant food spikes!!! The package says they are for indoor plants, but I actually use them for all of my outdoor plants, especially my herbs. I first tried these after planting some basil and other herbs that seemed to be taking an eternity to grow. I went to a local home improvement store and searched the garden center for plant food but many of them were priced much higher than I was willing to spend until I found these spikes. I figured I'd give them a try since they were so inexpensive and wow!!!!! Within just a few days, my plants had grown more than double what they had grown in the previous several weeks!!" —GatorDO17

    Just be sure to take the necessary precaution when dealing with this chemical product.

    Promising review: "This cleaner was better than I even expected. It was kind of hard to find, not sure if they just changed the name but the heavy duty one is what I wanted. I followed the directions for the fast clean; my oven was a baked on destroyed mess. This had been from years of renters. It was hard to spray, and I had to shake it a lot to get it to come out as strong as I wanted. But once I got a full coat on everything, I let sit for about five to seven minutes and wiped it off with EASE. I didn’t even need to scrub. It’s a lot of work to clean an oven, and this made it easier than ever before." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $9.49.

    9. Or an eco-friendly oven scrub cleaner for tackling all the caked-on messes you've learned to ignore. It's made with natural ingredients (including pumice stone and baking soda), so you'll get your oven back without all the toxic fumes.

    Promising review: “After one day and one application, my cat Gandalf saw better results than with vet-prescribed meds. He was in bad condition when we adopted him, so we took him to the vet and we learned he had a severe skin yeast infection. The meds they prescribed didn't help, so I tried this in a last-ditch effort to help him and WOW! Finally my poor boy isn't constantly licking or scratching until he bleeds. He isn't licking it at all!! His open wounds are finally scabbing over, and he slept the entire day and night as if he finally felt relief.” —Joshua and Michele

    Promising review: "This is a fantastic product. I sprayed it on my old brick exterior steps that are under trees, and wow! Within two minutes I could see immediate results. They haven't looked that good in over 20 years. I then sprayed a paver walkway and had the same results! I had some left over and sprayed the green moss covering my large deck, and it was gone instantly. I'm now ordering another one and then I'm heading out to the driveway and brick walls bordering it. Thanks for making my life a little easier." —Beverly Mabbitt

    Promising review: "If I could give this product more than 5 stars then I would!! My husband has suffered from extreme dandruff/Psoriasis for years to the point that he would pick constantly at his scalp. I would be able to visually see large sores and peeling skin chunks constantly no matter what shampoo/treatment he would use. I found this product by chance and told my husband about it, who was willing to give it a chance (he’d more than given up on finding a solution to his problem at this point). After two shampoos he said that he absolutely noticed a difference and did not feel that he had to scratch his scalp. His sores healed within a week and now he has a clean, itch- and flake-free scalp! This stuff worked absolute wonders for us and I would recommend to anyone with slight dandruff issues to extreme Psoriasis conditions!" —Tabitha C.

    Use this two to three times per week after shampooing your hair, and remember not to use it on your scalp. This treatment is just for the length of your hair.

    Promising review: "I bought this stuff on a whim because I'm always in the market for products that promise to smooth frizz and enable easier blowouts. My hair is almost shoulder-length and has been through a lot of damaging bleach and harsh keratin treatments. Honestly, I was shocked at how well this worked. After one use, my hair was so easy to blow-dry. It came out straight with just a paddle brush and I was able to skip the flat iron. It still had bounce and volume, though. I'm a huge fan!" —LisaG

    Promising review: “Best cleaning product I’ve ever used. I don’t usually go for all natural cleaning materials because, honestly, a lot of them don’t do what they say they’re going to. This one, on the other hand, definitely does the job! I tried it out on my brother's college bathtub (none of the boys had cleaned it since move in a year before). I covered the entire tub, waited five minutes, and then scrubbed with a magic sponge/rinsed. Most everything washed off immediately!!! I covered the more difficult areas once more and it was good as new!” —Anonymous

    Promising review: “In the past, I'd have to pull out my ironing board and say a prayer I didn't burn holes in any of our more delicate shirts. With the wrinkle releaser I lay out the shirt or hang it up, spray both sides, and smooth. In a few short minutes the shirt is dry and my wrinkles gone. No more lugging around the ironing board, worrying about ruining a shirt with an overzealous iron, or making myself late trying to rid my work blouse of a few wrinkles before heading out the door.” —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "Just cleaned my living room and office with this cleaner. OMG, it’s like I just got new carpeting! I had spilled coffee last week in my office and used another cleaner to spot clean, but it did very little to remove the stain! I scrubbed again with another cleaner the next day, with again poor results. I was thinking the stain would never get out. WRONG! I’m shocked at how quick that stain disappeared right in front of my eyes. I gave my dog some bones that left ugly spots in my carpet, and they vanished as well. The smell is so clean and fresh, too! I will be reordering this product from now on. So happy!" —Writersblock

    Promising review: "Absolutely worth every single cent! I have severe rosacea that leaves my nose and cheeks dry, flaky, and breaking out. I’ve had little success with anything topical that will provide relief to my irritated skin. My sister recommended it to me when I was looking for a moisturizer after a severe sunburn that left my nose blistered and raw. I received my order Wednesday and applied it that night after washing my face. By Saturday afternoon my face is almost completely healed. The cream prevented peeling, and helped clear up my rosacea skin irritation! I’m completely amazed! I’ve applied less than a dime size over my face four times! My skin has truly never felt better! It’s got to be witchcraft because not even the different RXs I’ve tried over the years have produced these results. *I will note there was a very mild sting that lasted a couple of seconds when initially applying but that was likely due to the raw skin. It was completely bearable." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $23.79.

    24. A HyperChiller so the hot coffee you just made becomes a cold brew in less than a minute!

    Promising review: "My dog started licking his paws to the point of rawness. I started giving him these chews to him last night, and already there’s no licking!!!! Absolutely no licking. He is sleeping comfortably and hasn’t licked once today. I’m amazed and shocked. I’m just glad he has relief. I thought it was my imagination that these could work so quickly and went back and reread reviews. Many reviewers said that these worked quickly for their pups. I’m so grateful to have found these!" —SJS

    Get them from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and flavors).

    26. A plant-based face serum whose blend of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, witch hazel, and jojoba oil will give you skin so bright, you'll light up every room you enter. Fresh-looking skin is just a bottle away!

    Promising review: "I noticed results right away. Within the first week, the age spots on my face were much lighter. I was using Eva Naturals Retinol serum for over a month and barely noticed any change. That's why I switched to TruSkin Nationals Vitamin C Serum. This product works really well and offers fast results. I highly recommend." —Sis

    Some reviewers say it has strong suction power, so use it lightly!

    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 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

    after image of a clean and stain-free carpet

    Promising review: “I just have to write a review on this! We just bought a house and the previous owner and his adult son were quite lazy when it came to cleaning up spills. The very light carpet was stained from dumped drinks so I immediately had the carpet professionally cleaned and I actually watched him using stain removing products which did not work. I ordered this Folex spot remover based on the high reviews. With fingers crossed, I used it on the carpet stain. I actually put on a latex glove and I worked it down into the carpet because the carpet is a short, tight plush pile so it didn’t seem like it was getting down in there. I did this for about 5 minutes and then I covered with an old towel and stepped on it. I then just walked away leaving the towel in place. I came back about 10–15 minutes later, lifted the towel, and OMG, the stain was GONE. Completely gone!!” —taliaferrovaia

    29. A jet tub cleaner scientifically engineered to get all the yuck from soap and body oil buildup out of your tub's jets in 15 minutes!

    Promising review: "This product was quick and easy to use! Fill up the tub past the jets, pour in four ounces of Oh Yuk, turn on the jets and walk away for 15 minutes. Come back and see a glorious and nauseating view. It had pulled nasty black flakes out of the jets, brown something (uhhh...dead skin?! I don't think I want to know), and built up soap scum and left it floating on top. Then you just have to drain the tub and wipe the tub down!" —Marisa

    Promising review: "I’m so excited to finally have a bathroom sink that drains!! Since moving into my apartment, my bathroom sink and bathtub took forever to drain. I bought multiple de-clogging solutions but they didn’t assist or help much with the problem. When my bathtub was taking over an hour to drain I decided it was time to try these out! After receiving it I went to work. Within minutes it pulled out so much hair in both drains. It’s disturbing/disgusting yet weirdly satisfying because now my sinks drain!!" —DebSd
