    Just 40 Products That'll Probably Make You Say "Thank Goodness"

    If you've got a problem, one of these products is likely the solution.

    1. A multi-functional earbud cleaning kit that comes equipped with a flocking sponge, high-density brush, and a metal pen tip so you can give your AirPods the deep clean they've been needing. Dirt and dust don't stand a chance!

    Promising review: "My entire family of four each has their own AirPods, and they get pretty dirty somehow. This product makes it super easy to clean all of the earwax and dirt built up in the ears piece of the AirPods and the MagSafe case as well. It is super easy to clean this kit too so you can reuse it as many times as you want. I definitely would recommend this product to anyone with AirPods or who wants to clean the cracks and crevices of their phone as well!" —Adeline

    2. A cute lil' octopus-shaped blackhead remover to gently scrub away excess sebum and exfoliate your pores. It'll help remove blackheads, whiteheads, and whatever else is trapped in your clogged pores.

    Promising review: "I have awful pores and am always using super drying products on my face to target this annoying adult acne I now have, but that causes flakey skin. I have sensitive skin so there are only so many affordable store-bought scrubs I can use, and so far the ones I've tried don't do enough or anything at all. The FIRST TIME I used this I literally watched my pores get cleaned out and my skin wasn't irritated at all by the ingredients. The scent is very pleasant and not too strong at all I think. It seems like it will also last awhile because I really used the heck out of it the first day because it was working so well and my pores are deeply clogged. When I was done my face looked SO much better and was super smooth I was really amazed that this tiny little Tako could do that. I love this thing!" —Diane Delfino

    Get it from Amazon for $12.50

    3. Cleaning putty for getting into the cracks in your car or keyboard where McDonald's crumbs fell and started their own society.

    Promising review: "This product does exactly what it says it does. I recently got a new car and was looking for something to easily pick up dust. I saw this product from TikTok. I was surprised at how easily it picks up dust and small debris, especially from inside of vents and cup holders. It’s also great for the touchscreen in my car! The only complaint is the very artificial smell when you use it. It doesn’t last, just when it’s out of the container!" —Loren

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    4. A powerful handheld car vacuum designed with a HEPA filter so no dirt, dust, crumbs, or ash make a home out your car's seats and floors. It also comes with three attachments for an easier time cleaning the different nooks and crannies of your car.

    Promising review: "My car hauls several children and pets, so I have to stay vigilant with cleaning to keep it from getting to an embarrassing state. This handheld vacuum works very well, the suction is strong, and the attachments work well with getting into the small areas where crumbs like to hide. The case that comes with it works well to keep the attachments together in between uses and is sturdy so far." —lilaw0709

    Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors).

    5. A pack of six citrus-scented washing machine cleaner tablets because no one wants to toss dirty clothes into a dirty machine. The 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

    Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.98 (also available in packs of three and five).

    6. A pack of hydrocolloid acne patches if you need help keeping blemishes at bay. These ultra-thin, translucent patches will absorb pimple pus (yuck) to reveal calmer-looking skin (yay).

    Promising review: “These patches are the only reliable way to shrink an existing pimple. I always get pimples that swell up but won’t come to a head. I’ve tried all the lotions, creams, salves, hot compresses, etc. Nothing worked on existing pimples. But these patches take the swelling right down. For really bad ones, it sometimes takes a couple days of wearing the patches. But it will go away (much faster than the one to two weeks it always takes if I just do nothing). Plus the patch keeps you from touching or picking at it.” —snowmentality

    7. A rose gold rechargeable electric lighter that's also wind- and moisture-proof because lighting a candle, campfire, or joint on a windy day shouldn't feel like an Olympic event.

    Promising review: "Works like a charm. I saw this on a TikTok and knew immediately that I needed it. I love candles and this is so much better than a match or lighter. It’s kept a charge for months. I use it several times a month." —dwhite3012

    8. A pair of teething-friendly silicone food pouch tops to help prevent spills and promote self-feeding (since you don't have to worry about messes, you can let them hang onto the pouch themselves). These tops even securely lock and cover the spout in case your little one doesn't finish their snack in one sitting.

    ChooMe is a small business making it easier for your little one to eat their favorite foods.

    Promising review: "These are a game-changer. I don’t trust my baby to eat a food pouch without one of these on top. Without these caps, she slings food everywhere and ends up a mess. She loves these because they give her the independence of getting to hold and feed herself a pouch without my assistance." —El Kling

    Get the pack of two from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in five color combinations).

    9. A jar of Aquaphor healing moisturizer for anyone suffering from dry, cracked, and sensitive skin. It restores moisture and promotes healing, so you can go back to living your best life.

    Promising reviews: "This stuff is a bit pricey, but you are paying for a quality solution for dry skin. Every time I try to use something cheaper, it doesn't work and I always come back to this. Nothing works like Aquaphor." —MCMXCVI

    "My son experienced some unbelievably wretched diaper rash and none of the usual products I had been using were making the rash better and the application of the zinc-based creams were painful. Someone recommended I try this, and I have never turned back! Every time there is a reoccurrence of diaper rash, after a day or so of applying Aquaphor, the rash clears up. Now and again I try other diaper creams, but when there is actual irritation, nothing comes close." —Incoherent Threads

    Get it from Amazon for $15.97+ (available in two sizes).

    10. A bottle of dandruff shampoo formulated with ketoconazole so you can finally relieve and control flaking, scaling, and itching caused by dandruff. Clean and clear scalps for all!

    after reviewer image of no dandruff on scalp

    Promising review: "MIRACLE PRODUCT! If you have a flaky scalp from dandruff, BUY THIS. I was about to go to the dermatologist if this stuff didn’t work. Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it." —chris

    Get it from Amazon for $15.47.

    11. 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!

    reviewer image of dirty and stained shower floor
    after image of the same shower completely clean

    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 $19.99+ (available in two scents and sizes).

    12. Downy Wrinkle Releaser fabric spray if you have no time, space, or energy to iron. That's not a problem! Just spray, tug, and hang to dry for wrinkle-free clothes in no time flat!

    Promising review: “How do people not know about this? I can’t believe I lived so long without it. Works extremely well, and makes leaving for work in the morning drastically easier. No more steaming my tops in the a.m. I can finally pack clothes that wrinkle in a suitcase and not stress about it.” —Amazon Customer

    Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.

    13. 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 bag (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78 (also available boxed).

    14. A heated eye massager for help relieving stress and pressure from your eyes. Its built-in Bluetooth capability and speakers also mean you can listen to your favorite calming playlist while you relax. No playlist? No problem! There are pre-recorded sounds, too.

    Promising review: "A YouTuber I love that gets migraines said she loves this and I thought it's worth a shot to try it. It’s been such a huge help in getting me to sleep when I have a migraine and I’m so happy I made this purchase. Couldn’t recommend it more." —Autumn Crawford

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in three colors).

    15. A set of bedsheet detanglers so you don't have to spend hours in the jungle of your laundry trying to not get devoured by fitted sheets. These will also ensure your sheets actually dry instead of coming out like a moist hair ball.

    Wad-Free is a woman-owned small business working to make sure your laundry day isn't in vain! After wasting time and energy on wadding problems, Cyndi Bray invented Wad-Free for bedsheets — which you may recognize from Shark Tank!

    Promising review: "How have I lived without this invention? Washing sheets has always taken much longer than it should because the sheets get tangled together in a ball, or the pillow cases get lost inside the fitted sheet. Never mind washing other items with the sheets! Either way, it is rare not to have to put a few items back into the dryer because they are still completely damp. Putting the Wad-Free device on the sheets takes a bit of extra time, but I was amazed at how everything remained separate in both the wash and the dryer! Well worth the time to apply it and not have to waste time and energy to do additional drying. I am a fan and will be giving this as a gift to all my friends and family!!" —Aimee WW

    Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in a pack of four).

    16. 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. This paste has got you covered from your caked-on stove top to your dirty rain boots. It can even remove those colorful drawings your kids left on your white walls!

    "I need this in bulk!! I have tried so many cleaning solutions to get out hard cooking stains on my stove top and nothing worked! This stuff took it right out without a problem!!" —Micaela Gunderson

    Promising review:I cannot believe I have lived my whole life and never had such a unique tool to clean long thick hair out of my brushes! It is inexpensive yet well made. I will mostly buy a few more as gifts for my long-hair friends. Highly recommend this product.” —Piper

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

    18. A flexible drain snake that'll descend into the pits of your drain and pull out the monstrous blobs of hair and gunk that have turned too many showers into swamps.

    This pack contains a reusable handle and five single-use heads that you just remove and dispose of after handling your clogged pipes.

    Promising review: "Wow. Best thing ever. Seriously. I have had tweezers and sticks and plumbers and chemicals trying to get my master sink to drain. Plumber even said I need an entirely new faucet to get the drain plug part because they don't sell those separately. Well, I have two sinks, a tub, and shower that all match so that was not a valid solution. Doubt I can find the same model. So I bought this thing, stuffed it down, and pulled up hair and black muck. Did it about eight times quickly, ran the water, went right down the drain. Seriously. This is the best tool ever and the best $20 I have ever spent. Everyone with a sink needs this tool. Seriously." —juliejules

    19. And a stainless-steel TubShroom famous for preventing massive hunks of hair and grime from growing and gaining sentience in our drains.

    I went through a few drain protectors before I finally succumbed to the power that is the stainless steel TubShroom. It's durable and works really well. It just does its job! And we love to see it!

    Promising review: "This is my second one, and I will keep buying these for my tubs and sinks as needed. They catch much more hair than one might think, and have prevented drain clogs in my house for years! HIGHLY recommended!" —Mr86GT

    Get it from Amazon for $13.97+ (available in two styles).

    20. A nontoxic pet urine stain removing spray to help you finally and fully reclaim your home from years-old dark spots on your couch and the scent of cat pee emanating from your rug.

    Rocco & Roxie is a family-run small business making everything you and your pet need to live a clean and fun life. From treats to toys, they've got what you need!

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There are tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I cringed paying the $20 for it when others are between $5–$10, but I have NO ISSUES paying now. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. Then I put a larger towel on top of it if it’s in a high-traffic area until it’s completely dry. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelly

    21. Or 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: "This stuff is awesome! My oven was setting off our (apartment) smoke detector every time I would preheat it, so I knew it was time to clean it. I have never cleaned an oven before, so I searched Pinterest for tips and I found this product. It works VERY well!" —Sadie

    Get it from Amazon for $16.91.

    23. A pack of heel protectors because you shouldn't have to suffer the pangs of plantar fasciitis or cracked heels when you're just trying to live your life. These breathable, silicone cushions will help you stand on your feet for as long as you need.

    Promising reviews: “I got these because my heels are tough and callused. I hate wearing shoes, so my feet end up in need of extra help. Heel cups do a really good job of softening the tough skin on my heels. They're extremely easy to put on and take off. The best part is that they don't pick up dust, dirt, dog hair, lint, etc. These make my heels feel pampered.” —The OG Elf

    "These foot pads have been wonderful for my feet. A few years ago I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and definitely needed a bunch more padding around my heel and arch!!!! I wear these pads with shoes and socks during the day and it really provides extra comfort for my heel especially when they're throbbing!!! The extra softness and cushion has made a huge difference in my heels!" —Jenn Butterfield

    Get five pairs from Amazon for $9.99.

    24. A set of three power scrubber brush attachments whose nylon bristles will clean your stained bathtub without leaving behind any scratches.

    Founded in 2007 by a former electrician who suffers from carpal tunnel syndrome, DrillBrush is a small business committed to making cleaning easier and less painful.

    Promising reviews: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, so I've been hand-scrubbing it was for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. It cleaned in the corners, the floor, the glass door...everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in a variety of brush stiffnesses).

    25. A massage gun with five speed levels and massage heads that'll help melt any knots you've gotten from sleeping like a pretzel knot. No more sore muscles for you!

    Promising review: "I was looking for something to deal with my chronic and debilitating sciatic nerve pain. I saw someone use a similar device at my gym and decided to give it a shot. It has been short of a miracle. I have been using it daily after work when I am most stressed and along with gentle stretches, it has helped SO much. This one was fairly priced, the size is perfect for me to carry it in my bag after long car rides, and there are different speeds, which I also like. I'm really happy with it. My husband is too." —Eileen Fuentes

    Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four colors and with or without heat).

    26. A set of babyproofing magnetic locks to provide extra safety and keep your kids out of dangerous drawers. They adhere super easily and pretty much work like magic.

    reviewer's video showing them opening the drawer with a magnetic key

    The set comes with 12 locks (with strong 3M double-sided tape on the back) and two keys.

    Promising review: "These are awesome! I spent hours with a drill and screwdriver installing push down locks on cupboards five years ago. I now have another crawling baby and those ones are all broken. I was dreading installing new ones and saw these. They literally go on in seconds, the bracket means it lines up perfectly, and the adhesive is strong! My older kids think the magnet key is super fun. Baby stays out of the chemicals and I put one on the trash door so the dog stays out of the trash so everyone gets to live longer. Win-win. I also love that you can 'turn' them off and on so when my kids are bigger we can flip the switch but if little kids were visiting we could put them back on."Joseph J. Krakker

    Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $29.99 (available in packs of 10, 16, 20, and 32).

    "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

This topical oil has given me relief for nearly six weeks now. I have only had two to three headaches in that time and they were mild. I ordered more already so I have some in my car and at home. I also bought some for two of my friends who suffer from chronic migraines. I would recommend this product to anyone with migraines. It is phenomenal." —Mary D.

    Promising review: “Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers’ couches and look at the difference. It could use one more go to get to the ‘looking like brand new’ but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn’t believe it would work that well. Well it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner get it, you will not be disappointed.” —edina bajraktarevic

    Promising review: “I love these so much, that when we moved and I lost one of the ones we previously had, I purchased more! These are the best things since sliced bread...seriously! The bungee cord that is attached to them is really great, and very durable. The clips are made of strong metal, and sort of like 'alligator clips,' if anyone knows what those are. They open up, and then you can clamp them closed so that they don't open and release the sheet. The black plastic piece in the middle is so that you can either tighten or release the cord and make it tighter or looser. They hold fairly well, and it allows for a custom fit every time you put the sheets on.” —aret21

    33. A bottle of Fanola purple shampoo for brightening your hair if it's turned orange a few weeks after your last salon visit. It tones down any pesky brassy hues so your hair's color is more even.

    Just don't use it for more than three minutes (once a week), because your hair may turn lavender (unless you're into that, which some reviewers are!!!).

    Promising review: "I have naturally almost black, thick Asian hair that is highly processed and toned to high heaven just so I can be blonde. Not just sandy blonde. Platinum blonde. Now, any 'bottle blonde' knows that purple shampoo is the sweet baby Jesus in a manger necessity that they MUST use if they don’t want to end up with orange-tinged hair. It’s just that blonde life. I have tried almost every purple shampoo under the sun, ranging from $7 to $70 a bottle. Fanola takes the cake and is hands down the winner when it comes to toning even the most stubborn brass. Seriously. Your granny needs this. You need this. Go buy stock in this company." —CatsonCatsonCats

    34. A rubber broom so you can keep your carpet free from your purrfect pet's fur. It's also great for mopping up liquid spills and squeegee-cleaning your windows!

    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

    35. A water-based instant carpet spot remover because all of life's little 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

    36. An oil-absorbing face roller since the blotting sheets you've been using don't pick up enough oil and also manage to mess up your makeup. This roller's made using absorbent volcanic stone that'll soak up any excess oil. Instant matte skin FTW!

    Promising review: "I have super oily skin and am always looking for something to help control it during the day. The linen squares are good but you have to keep them around (aka keep replacing them) and they end up in the landfill. This little contraption really works and I just rinse it at the end of the day and start over again the next. I keep one in my desk and bought a second for my purse. This is magic for my shiny skin, especially on camera in my hours of Zoom everyday." —Jennifer Helseth

    Promising review: "Game changer for my pumping journey. I was SO on the fence about but these as they are some of the pricier options for heated massagers and I didn’t know if it would help enough to justify the price. Let me tell you it does! Even if you don’t pump more milk with these, they make the pumping more comfortable! And let’s face it we are giving up hours and hours of our days to pump milk for our babies, shouldn’t we be able to do it without being in pain or discomfort?" —Jennifer

    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." —Barka

    Got a manicure? This will make sure you don't break your nails trying to get your kid out of their stroller.

    Promising review: “My wife has arthritis and it is very difficult for her to unbuckle our granddaughter's car seat. She saw this item on Shark Tank and said, 'Order this for me.' So I did and when it came we happened to be babysitting our granddaughter and we had to run errands. When we reached our destination my wife used the UnbuckleMe and in seconds the car seat was unlatched, whereas she would have struggled with it for minutes at a time. GREAT IDEA and GREAT PRODUCT.” —MJB
