It clings to tile, meaning it'll STAY PUT, killing mold and mildew and keeping it from reappearing later down the road.
Promising review: "I CANNOT emphasize enough that this stuff works MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I had taken before photos, because when I say magic, I mean UTTER WITCHCRAFT. The caulking around my tub was staining moldy, but a little hit of this and it was GLOWING WHITE like we had just recaulked. I recommended it to my aunt, whose house was built in the 1970s, so her tub caulking stains were over 40 years in the making, and she was going to pay someone to come in to strip the caulk and do it over new. I told her no need- just use some of this stuff! Worked like witchcraft AGAIN!!!! Her caulking is also glowing white now, and she's recommending it to HER friends now!!! This stuff is so good you'll recommend it to everyone you know. No caulking stains are too deep for this!!!!!!" —Amazon Customer

Btw, the scents claim to be allergy-friendly, and that's backed up by reviewers. And if your home's ~aesthetic~ doesn't go with a candle that screams "pet," one reviewer notes the label peels off easily!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, these things are wonderful!!! With two large dogs in the home, I feel like I'm fighting a constant battle against funky dog smell. Light these up, and rest assured, the smell is vanquished. Even better, it helps quickly battle the unfortunate smells created when our older dog has accidents in the home. I feel so much more confident having guests in the home not worrying that my house smells like "dog." The con is the price — yes, these are way more expensive than some other candles. However, you definitely get your money's worth. I burn them pretty frequently for a few hours at a time, and they're still going after two months!" —Smith
Promising review: "Unfortunately, our one cat has awful allergies, and we no longer use any scent plug-in or are able to light candles. I missed having different scents in the house big time! I did some research and pet house candles kept coming up everywhere with raving reviews. I was skeptical but completely surprised! They smell amazinggggg, even stronger than a lot of big name brands I purchased in the past. Love everything this company stands for and their wonderful products!" —Jacee

They dim 50-80% of the light, so you can still tell that your devices are still actually *on* and functioning. You can always double them up to completely block out the light source if you'd like (many reviewers do this) or buy the stronger **full black-out** edition!
Promising review: "This is the best thing you never knew you needed. I own a digital clock with the numbers displayed in red LED light and every night, I've blocked the light with a cover so it doesn't shine in my eyes as I sleep. Silly, I know, but I like my room pitch black and cave-like. On a whim, I bought this product. OH MY GOD! Game-changer!! For the first night EVER, I didn't have to cover the clock display before I went to bed!! I had no idea how big a difference this little dimmer could make, but I'm more than pleased with the result. I can still see the time display just fine, but now my room is a happy cave! Some commenters argue you could get the same effect using electrical tape, regular tape covered in Sharpie, etc., but true to the name of these products, if you're looking for something to DIM, then this is for you. Also the product is easy to remove and doesn't leave a sticky residue at all, which can't be said for most tapes. I did notice a slight lag in response when I covered my TV LED sensor, so if you're trying to block something that actually senses inputs I would maybe not suggest this. Other than that, excellent product!" —Amazon Customer

A lot of reviewers who have also tried Cosrx and Nexcare patches prefer these!
Promising review: "I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a Whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now.) I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY'RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry, I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin." —Caitlyn

Promising review: "I was somewhat skeptical as to whether or not these would work, but much to my delight, they work very well! The real test were the organic strawberries I bought. They've been in the bag in the refrigerator for eight days now and are still edible. Usually when I buy strawberries, they get mushy and moldy within a day or two. The other veggies I've used these bags for are also doing better than they normally do without the bag. More often than I'd like to admit, we buy a bunch of fruits and veggies and they go bad before we eat them. Thankfully, these bags are extending their edibility, so I'm not having to feed them to the chickens and donkeys. I'm very pleased with my purchase and definitely recommend them." —Dallas Shopper

AND it's cruelty-free and the bottle is made from recycled plastic. I use this on my brushes and beauty blenders, and it just *really* works.
Promising review: "This is the best brush shampoo I've ever used. I've used brush shampoos from high-end/luxury lines, too, and they did not work as well as this. First and most importantly for me, there is no scent! I absolutely hate when companies put heavy perfume in products that end up touching or going near the face. When washing brushes with shampoo that is heavily perfumed, that just ends up irritating my sinuses whenever I'm using the brushes to apply makeup. So awful. This is not like that at all, so I can use my makeup brushes without having sinus/allergy trouble. It cleans extremely well! No more going over and over again like with using other makeup brush shampoos. A little goes a long way, too, so it is extremely economical. The value is awesome. I highly recommend this brush shampoo and will continue purchasing it." —L.L.

Just add a little bit of the concentrated cleaner and water to the included brush and scrub away — the blend of saddle soap, oils, and conditioners will gently banish dirt, grime, and even grease and grass stains.
Promising review: "It works great! I was a little unclear on what exactly I could use this shoe cleaner on when I ordered it, but I trusted the reviews and went for it. Turns out, this shoe cleaner works on just about anything. I cleaned up all my daughter's outgrown shoes to get them ready for consignment, and this stuff cleaned the whole lot! It worked on everything from Crocs and jellies to Uggs and Birkenstocks. I still can't figure out how something so powerful when cleaning canvas and rubber could somehow melt into suede and leather without leaving a trace. They should call it Pink Mystery Shoe Cleaner, if you ask me. I still have 95% of the bottle left, by the way. I definitely think I got my money's worth! Nice that they threw in the brush, too." —Beth C.

The curved stainless steel will feel smooth against your tongue, removing bacteria without causing irritation.
Promising review: "Besides its obvious purpose, this item is really fun to use! I also like the consequences; I get to see the 'stuff' on the metal piece when I scrape it, which tells me I'm taking crap off my tongue. And then my tongue also feels scraped, which makes me feel like I did something more than just some kind of toothpaste or mouthwash to generally keep my mouth clean (which hasn't worked before). I think the feeling of having done something specific to keep your mouth clean is an important aspect of having confidence in your breath. After having bad breath for a while, no matter whether my mouth is clean or not, I shy away from talking directly at people. But this helps remove some of my doubts." —Ashley

Just twist the bottom and paint onto your teeth. Each pen has 20 uses, and you can see how much you've used through the handy transparent tube!
Promising review: "I have used so many products before and this is the best so far! I even got a whitening kit from my dentist, which is supposed to be very effective, but it only burned my gums, and the whitening wasn’t as fast as this product. I bought this just because it was not expensive and had good reviews, but I didn’t have any hopes it would work because it was a lot more affordable than the doctor’s kit that cost me hundreds of dollars. It is very easy to use. It actually works even after first application. It doesn’t burn gums. It doesn’t make your teeth sensitive." —Melinda

On a family trip to Rome in 2019, my dad brought new shoes (???? terrible idea!!) and got really bad blisters. Luckily his Virgo daughter had these bbs along and enabled him to walk in much more comfort until they healed.
Promising review: "Great bandages! These are easy to use and so soft. They stayed on during a shower, which impressed me as well. They are the perfect size and so comfortable. I also appreciated the fact that they didn't come off in my shoe which is always a problem for me! Love the little case for them which I can easily throw in my purse. Great blister bandages!" —CTSmith

Several reviewers say they just throw theirs right in the washing machine to clean it! They also make a smaller one designed for the bikini area and a long, narrow back scrubber for hard-to-reach areas.
Promising review: "I'll be honest; I thought this would be another thing I saw on Amazon via TikTok that was way overhyped. I have [super] dry skin, and despite using lotions, oils, and gentle body washes, I'm an ashy mess. This thing is incredible. I don't think I've ever been this exfoliated in my life! Not a single flake or scaly patch in sight. 1,000/10." —Ruth Bromberg

Promising review: "Was desperately seeking a garlic press after my previous one started chipping and eventually fell apart. This press is obviously more money than the replacement one I bought at the supermarket but it is worth it. When you press a clove of garlic, the garlic actually gets minced and comes out of the press. It is easy to clean, ensuring that there are never any leftover garlic bits to find on the next use. And you don't have to look around for the other piece to push through the little holes, because it is securely attached. No chipping despite the bright red color. Also lightweight." —Susan E.

Promising review: "After using Lights, Camera, Lashes by Tarte ($23) for the past year, I got tired of breaking the bank over mascara. My sister suggested Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect and I IMMEDIATELY fell in love. It provides dramatic length and great volume. I can honestly say I can’t stop looking at my eyelashes in the mirror every single day because of how awesome they look. Also, it is very long wearing. I go from an eight-hour work day right to the gym and sweat like crazy...and this stuff doesn’t budge! I love it!!" —Carrie E. Miller

"This... this! I don't know what sort of sorcery this is, but this thing totally works, and it's freaking me out! I tested it by standing outside for a few mins (I live in the south, very humid) and then came back inside and rolled it along my nose. Sucked that oil right up!! I cannot believe I have been wasting money on blotting paper when this was out there (and reusable)! Totally buying some for my sister and friends.

Promising review: "Buy them! These are great and do exactly what they are meant to do. I love not having to wear Spanx or rely on any cream to not chafe my thighs when wearing a dress. They sit high up enough to where they aren’t visible in a short dress, which is great because I’m 5’9”, and Spanx typically is longer than any short dress, especially once I start moving around. Would buy these again!" —Devon Kirms

The scent made my bathroom smell like a wonderful garden. They have a permanent customer, as I will continue to buy these for myself and as gifts." —C Woodle
Promising review: "This product is absolutely, positively more than I expected it to be. I have a hard time sleeping six hours straight through the night. From the first time I used it in my nightly shower, I slept straight through the night without waking up once. The lavender scent smells so good that I spend the first five minutes of my shower just inhaling the soothing lavender scent. It makes me want to take multiple showers a day. I definitely recommend this item to anyone who needs help relaxing at night." —Tracy Daniels

It works on all floor types but is *especially* great on carpet. *And* it has a built-in squeegee that is great for cleaning up spills on hard surfaces.
Promising review: "This is the best broom ever. My parents own multiple, and I just bought my first. It wasn't to clean up pet hair but to collect my own hair, as I shed uncontrollably. The hairball that formed after sweeping my living room carpet would make you think I should be bald. It was gross but glorious. Everyone should own one." —Michelle K. Tulcan
Get it from Amazon for $20.40 (also available in a compact style and an outdoor version).
And remember, like with any retinol (that actually works) *just do not use it every day.* Start slow and work yourself up if needed, paying attention to your skin.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this stuff! I saw a dermatologist on TikTok who raved about this product and tried it out, and it's been the most amazing stuff! It's helped my face to clear up very quickly removing all of the blemish spots and dark spots around my face. It's been one of the best products I've added to my face routine. This would be great for all ages/stages and for any weather types. It doesn't moisturize much, but that's not it's intention, and there is no scent, so I'd imagine it's great for all skin types and hypoallergenic." —Successful Solo
Promising review: "I bought this for my teenager to use for his acne scars, but he ended up not using it. I ran out of my Murad retinol serum, so I gave this a try. I actually like it better than the Murad! It absorbs quickly, with zero smell or irritation. As with any retinol product, be sure to wear sunscreen when you're going to be outside." —C. Munsterman

Just snap it together (no tools required), and the cells will expand to fit your drawer size! I use these to organize socks in an under-bed drawer, and they're great — each cell can hold a couple pairs.
Promising review: "Just buy this! It changed my life (I have two). I had a messy sock drawer where I shoved them in and closed it up, then the next day before work i would have difficulty finding my socks. Also, I was folding the top sock over the lower sock and blowing out my elastic.............NO MORE. This sock helper is GREAT! I roll the socks and can have the cool ones in front." —melissa mansfield

Cut off the top of your pineapple, twist the corer into the fruit (kind of like a wine bottle corkscrew), then pull it out. You now have a cored and spiral-cut pineapple in minutes!
Promising review: "OMG! Why did I take so long to get one of these? I would typically spend two or three minutes slicing up a pineapple, and I LOVE pineapple, so it's pretty common for me. Now, I can do it in 30 seconds, and that was the first time not knowing what I was doing or what to expect. I suspect I'll have this down to 10 seconds in the next go-round. Love IT! Oh, BTW, it is sturdy and seems like it should last a while." —riverseine

Just soak in water, then pat dry before adding to your jar or container. And btw, you can also use it to keep moisture OUT of any foods you want to keep crunchy, like crackers! Just bake it at 200°F for 5-10 minutes to ensure it's completely dry.
Promising review: "I bought these out of curiosity but am a 100% believer in witchcraft now!! I had an old-OLD bag of brown sugar I found in the back of my fridge and figured that I would give it a try. Wow!! It really, really works! I haven't used it multiple times, but it really works to make old brown sugar soft again, which is awesome because I love baking but not enough to go use a bag of brown sugar in one weekend.

A job that easily would have taken me a half hour with a regular brush and Comet, took about five minutes, and with no smelly harsh chemicals. I am really kicking myself for not trying it months ago.

Reviewers with everything from stick-straight to type 4C curls swear by these!
Promising review: "I LOOOOVE these curlers! My hair is super long, and it never does anything but awkwardly bend because it’s super poker-straight! I have to have curlers in overnight to get any curl to stick, and these are super comfortable to sleep in! My curls were amazing!! Finally, an adorable spiral curl! What’s even better is that on the second day, they STILL looked beautiful! I cannot rant and rave enough about how awesome these are!" —Amazon Customer
Promising review: "Buyer Beware: This will be your new favorite way to style your hair!! As someone who struggles to style my 4C hair, I found this as an easy alternative to doing a twist out. I loved how easy it was to differentiate the sizes and just go to town on my hair. I used these with a bit of leave-in conditioner and Aunt Jackie’s Don’t Shrink Gel. I left these in overnight as a no heat option. My curls turned out so beautiful and elongated!! I am satisfied with this product and love not having to worry about shrinkage as much." —Allison DeWalt

Promising review: "I didn't think this would work. My hair is thin-ish and doesn't hold curl that well. I burn myself nonstop with the curling wand, just to have my hair lose most of the curl. So I tried this. I followed the suggestions in the reviews and a few YouTube videos that said to do it with dry hair, and OMG MY HAIR WAS GORGEOUS the next day. A beautiful wave, my hair was silky and shiny, AND it lasted THREE DAYS!!! I brushed them out each day, so they loosened a bit but still VERY pretty. I may never use my curling wand again because I read you can put this in your hair for two hours, and it will work. The tighter you wrap your hair, the tighter the curl, so you CAN get different looks." —Janice Morse

When it's something like a smoothie that has been sitting in the reusable bottles is just caked on and very difficult to get clean. I can't just pop them in the dishwasher. One of these tablets with warm water gets them looking like new again. I can't get over how clean these bottles come. We have bottles and jugs of all different sizes since my kids play sports, and we are away at tournaments frequently. These are a convenient way to make sure all our containers are clean and ready to go. I would certainly recommend there if your family uses bottles frequently." —NewHopeBuyer

Promising review: "I have been using this daily for about eight months now. I am 60 years old. It reduced the puffiness and bags under my eyes. I am Sicilian and had dark circles. It has brightened up my eye area. I am very surprised as I have paid much more for eye creams that have done so much less. I recently had precancerous cells removed at the bridge of my nose. After healing, I was left with a dark scar. The dermatologist told me that it would heal over time. Since I began to apply this eye cream, the mark has almost disappeared entirely.

Promising review: "The backstory is as to be expected. I tried using the typical toilet brush to clean the ring buildup that had occurred. As with nearly everyone in existence, I had tried quite a few different name-brand toilet bowl cleaners and followed all the instructions. However, they would only remove probably 60-70% of what was built up. The rest I truly tried to put my heart and soul into removing, but the brush just wasn't getting anywhere. LITERALLY within 15 *seconds*, I had already removed nearly every trace of the ring that was there. It was almost eerie to put so little effort into having this take off the remnants that were left behind. It took all of probably two minutes to make sure I got all the spots off. Honestly, the results look like the ring never existed. So, instead of pouring chemicals into your toilet bowl and breathing in traces of bleach (depending on toilet bowl cleaner), this thing can do worlds better at removing the ring entirely. It seems strange to say it, but this is one recommendation that will probably be given to more people than I want to admit. Just... wow..." —Austin S.

Promising review: "I've been very careful when lightening my hair, but the straw feeling is sometimes inevitable when bleached. THIS PRODUCT IS MAGIC. I've always gone to my hairdresser when coloring so I've been fortunate to have my hair stay pretty nice, but this made a world of a difference. My hair is like silk or soft butter. So incredibly soft and shiny that I feel like a walking hair commercial. My hair feels so moisturized and healthy, just as soft if not softer than my hair was prior to coloring (been highlighting for five years now). Will be buying more before I run out; I will never stop using this product. FYI, my natural color is dark brown at the roots, and my hair looks healthier than a natural blonde IMO :) ADD TO YOUR CART; YOU WON'T REGRET. After you shampoo, load your hair up and do the rest of your shower heck have it be a long shower bc you deserve it, and rinse out with lukewarm water." —Meghan Davey

So I had to find something to make the stench go away without leaving me with an allergic reaction. Mini Moso was the answer. I honestly couldn’t believe it. A few days after placing them in my prized shoes, I took a whiff from about a foot away. Nothing. I got closer. Nothing. I stuck my nose practically in the shoe. OK, maybe that’s pushing things, but I’ve got to tell you that 95% of the broken-in leather grossness was gone. So happy!" —Erin

Promising review: "I've tried so many, this is a keeper. It’s extremely light. Has a mousse-like texture. Has a light fresh scent. It really preps my skin for foundation. I have dry skin. This looks like skin but NOT flat or dry. Makes foundation look like it should. 👍🏼 Best $5 spent." —J_Kelsea
Promising review: "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. Even after I took my makeup off my skin felt moisturized which is a hard thing to do with my dry skin. I saw the hype all over social media about this primer and I never believed it, but finally decided to take the plunge and test it out and now I'll never go with out it." —Taylor Kessinger

Promising review: "I bought this microwave pasta cooker at a time when I did not have a stove. Even though I have a stove now, I still use this cooker for dinner for myself sometimes because it works so well and quickly! There are lines to indicate how much water to put in the cooker versus the amount of pasta you intend to cook. The pasta comes out very soft and perfectly cooked when instructions are followed. When the pasta is done, the lid is used to drain the cooker of water and works very well. I highly recommend this to any college student or adult who needs a fast microwave pasta cooker!" —Kelsi Murphy

Promising review: "Don't get me wrong — my wedding ring was gorgeous before. It did sparkle and still made me smile every day. However...after using this..*oh my goodness*! After one use of the Diamond Dazzle Stik..my ring is absolutely breathtaking! I knew my ring got dirty now and then, simply from sweating and being outside in the elements. However, I never realized just how much dinge and schmutz marred my beautiful diamond until I cleaned it. It literally took my breath away with its fiery, dazzling brilliance! My wedding ring is something that always makes my heart beat a little faster: for its beauty, for what it represents...and now, my smile is even bigger and my heart skips a beat a little more as I gaze upon this amazing clarity. It is an amazing value with mind-blowing, beautiful results!" —liltreeclimber

Promising review: "I'm beyond happy. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, i was looking for something for my own plantar fasciatis in addition something valuable to offer clients. WINNER! I went TO TOWN with this ball on my feet. Talk about satisfaction. I did rub my feet a little raw with the nubs, but that is 100% my doing. I look forward to rolling my feet over the ball a few times a day. It's immensely helpful and is able to pinpoint + target hard to get areas." —Moon Valley Crab

Promising review: "I have a tiled walk-in shower that was not tiled properly and holds water in one corner, resulting in hard water and lime build up. I thought I had tried everything, with no success, and I was extremely discouraged. Until I read an article on BuzzFeed about life changing products.. I am SO glad I took a chance on this!! It ate through the gunk in my gross shower corner AND shined my claw foot tub like I have never seen it shine before! I just sprayed my shower down with water, put a small bit of the product on a rag, scrubbed for maybe a minute and watched the build up disappear before my eyes! It is some kind of brilliant magic that I will be using forever. Bar Keepers Friend is now My Best Friend." —Caitlin

Promising review: "Years ago, a massage therapist I went to used a cream at my temples that helped greatly with headaches and nausea. I have tried to find that scent for years. THIS IS IT!! I use it daily on my temples & the back of my neck just below my hairline. It helps 100% with the nausea I suffer from the meds I take. Many of my headaches I can prevent from going to a migraine by applying again at the start of the headache. I am the most skeptical person you will find when it comes to homeopathic or oils, etc., but this works!!" —DVS

Promising review: "Whenever someone I know has a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Really, Burt’s Bees should pay me. It rubs into skin like lotion so you don’t feel greasy and can immediately put on clothes after application. A little goes a long way! It smells good without being overpowering (and I’m picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I’ve had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it’s minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother." —jlgentr3

All you have to do is apply with a cloth, wait 20 minutes (perfect time for a mid-cleaning snack!), and wipe off the excess.
Promising review: "OMG! This is the most AMAZING product! We inherited some antique furniture from the '30s that had been in storage forever... it was dry and dirty and not much to look at. I used this product on it, and the oak wood literally came alive, showing the beautiful grain and texture of the wood. I have since used it on my oak kitchen cabinets, and they look AMAZING! I will never use anything else other than this product on my wood surfaces! No greasy feel... fantastic smell!" —Tiffany Sadowski

Promising review: "This set is the best friend of those who hate cleaning bathroom fixtures. Instead of scrubbing and scraping, you can give a few comfortable whisks with one of these brushes and the job is done. The brushes are particularly good at quick-cleaning the back of the faucets where you normally can't see what you are doing. Also good at keeping the silver drain rings shiny. Couldn't be happier with this set. Recommend it highly." —Rodger

Promising review: "Never give up, like the Little Engine that could. I love my glass top stove, but cleaning it is not as easy as just wiping it down. If you have one, you know how it is when something boils over or spills. This bakes whatever hits the glass and leaves those frustrating scorch marks. No matter how hard I scrubbed, I could never get the film off. I have tried every cleaning product, as well every home remedy suggestion and it never removes the marks. I came across this product on Amazon and after reading the reviews, thought, 'Why not?' Ah, all is good in the world after finding this. I put a quarter-size dot of Cerama Bryte, scrubbed it with a light scratch pad, and rainbows and unicorns came dancing. Ah, so shiny. I think I’ve invested 20+ labor hours trying to clean the stove top, and just gave up. With this product, it took me five minutes. If you have the same issue, get this stuff — it’s incredible. 5 stars+++" —Implied Queens

Real talk: after learning about this, I ordered two (of the previous version, without the handy grip to protect your fingers) and used it on my bathroom sink and shower. HOLY KAMOLE does it work. So gross, so effective.
Promising review: "If you need to get into the deep side of your bathroom sink without removing anything....THIS IS IT! Gross crap came out of my bathroom sink. I have long curly hair and nothing was going to dissolve it. EVER. My sink is running free and I will again promise that I will never do anything with my hair over the sink! This puppy worked so good I am ignoring the fact that there is no way to remove the hair and grime it caught from my drain! Seriously no idea how I could possibly re-use. BUT I will order another 5 times as it does what I need!" —Kelly KH
