48 Products With Such Dramatic Before And Afters, The Results Will Be Burned Into Your Memory

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-05-24 05:06

1. A reusable screen-cleaning brush, which might make you question how you ever cleaned the screens BEFORE this genius gadget entered your life. Now you can get rid of all the caked-on grime and bugs for good! These are the kinda results that'll have you singing, "A whoooole new world" as you look out your clean screens.

www.amazon.com

It can be used as a handheld brush or you can use the detachable, long-reach handle that extends to 9". The double-sided brush can be used wet or dry and is reusable! Just rinse it clean and hang dry between uses.

Promising review: "Our screens are on a second-floor balcony. There really isn't any good way to clean the outside of the screens. Luckily, the fibers on this screen cleaner are small enough that they seem to fit through the screen and clean both sides. I'm sure it doesn't clean the outside as well as it does the inside, but any help is always appreciated. I was actually shocked at how much dirt came off of the screens with this very simple tool. I used it wet with a small amount of dish soap, and it worked really well. I also appreciated that after I was finished, I was just easily able to rinse and dry the screen cleaner for future use. A simple tool at an excellent price." —BonjourBeautyByAmy

2. A breathable, sweat-proof boob tape kit that'll help you get the lift you love without committing to a hot and sweaty bra that doesn't work with your outfit. The kit comes with boob tape, satin petals for your nips, and a pair of silicone pasties. Don't forget the carrying pouch so you can take the kit with you when traveling!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It even includes a test patch, so you can make sure the tape doesn't irritate your skin before wearing it. The tape is designed with a strong hold, so removal will absolutely require saturating the tape in oil before slowly and gently peeling it off!

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I bought this gorgeous backless wedding dress with a plunging neckline and didn't think about how to make sure my boobs were covered and secure. The fabric was also pretty sheer. I took the dress to a seamstress who sewed pads in and did an awful job. The pads looked lumpy, they were too far down, and one was an inch lower than the other. In a panic with only a week before the wedding, I took to Amazon and landed on this tape. Y'all... This stuff is awesome. I applied it with no practice literally five minutes before my ceremony. Even with no idea of how to apply or what I was doing, I managed to secure my boobs AND they looked amazing. I'm a D cup and didn't expect much lift, but there was lift, coverage, and just enough cleavage. It stayed on during 90-degree weather and was easily removed after a quick soak in the bathtub and a little coconut oil. I will definitely use this stuff again. I feel like this tape has opened up new wardrobe possibilities for me. If you're on the fence, just get it. Saved my wedding." —MelBee

"This brush is amazing. My daughter went puddle jumping in her boots. They dried out while I was trying to figure out how to clean them. Saw the reviews on this and ordered right away. Holy cow, they look almost new. I cleaned all my boots too because I was so excited. Even ones I thought looked clean were much improved. I washed the brush with dish soap and water and let dry between pairs." —TRW

Promising review: "I love this shampoo! I had gastric sleeve surgery and my hair was very, very thin. I started taking biotin and switched to biotin shampoo as recommended by my doctor. It doesn’t make your hair grow by washing it but it makes your hair and roots stronger. And it worked. After using the whole bottle, my hair was stronger. I had a lot of new growth that was sticking around (the previous new growth fell out early on) and my hair was getting thicker. Eight months later, my hair is back to normal. It's longer and thicker than ever. I still use it twice a week and love it! I’m not in love with the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I had five awfully painful plantar warts on my foot for about four months. They were all about a 1/4 inch apart on the ball of my foot and I had a massive one under my second toe. It was becoming hard to walk with how painful they were. This was a Hail Mary and it worked phenomenally. The gel coats well right where you apply it. It doesn’t have an awful stench. I applied it every three to four days for a couple of weeks. I noticed the pain was less and less until I didn’t notice any. Last night, I was actually able to pull and peel the remains of the dead warts out!! Kinda gross, but kind of cool. Seriously, this product works. If you have annoying warts...this is the answer!!!" —CJ805

"I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

This is a must-have!" —Cassie

Promising review: "I rarely post reviews, but this stuff has completely changed our lives. Our dishwasher, utensils, plates, and glasses were covered with dry scale and nothing we tried came close to helping. After using the tablets three times, our dishwasher looks like new; our glasses are sparkling like fine China and everything else looks fabulous. Highly recommend, worth every penny, best product BY FAR!!! One great advantage is you can use it with your dishes. Some other products are used to clean the dishwasher but not to clean dishes and glasses. Buy this, you will be blown away!!! It is astounding!" —Jenny

Promising reviews: "I've only been using this for four days and can see a slight difference in the appearance of my cellulite. I have a deep dimple in my left butt cheek and I can already tell that it's shrinking and smoothing out. I've used very expensive creams, oils, and lotions but after four days I already see more results with this product. To make it even better, the scent is amazing! I use it all over because it makes my skin so soft even the next day." —ChelseaK

Promising reviews: "I could kick myself for not trying this sooner! It is my new favorite lotion... After one night of using this, I woke up to smooth, soft moisturized skin that wasn’t itchy at all. This lotion goes on and absorbs beautifully. It’s not too thin or thick, and the scent is sensational... It’s not greasy or slick and does not have a residue that pills or transfers." —TickTockAlice

RMR Brands is a small business specializing in professional-grade cleaning solutions for your home.

Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain on my patio, naturally the birds in the community have come to rely upon it for drinking and bathing. I literally sprayed this product and walked away, I actually left it on overnight, I got busy with other tasks. When I checked back all of the mold was gone, everything, with no damage to the painted stucco wall or cement and no scrubbing. Literally spray and leave." —Mark

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and in multipacks).

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown and as a three-pack).

14. A pack of carborundum sponges, aka the kind of magical cleaning product you'll wish you'd found A LOT sooner in life. They're just *that* good at lifting the stubborn stains and grime you typically spend wayyyy too long hunched over the sink angrily scrubbing to no avail.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Nice and thin. You'll find so many more uses for these around the house than just getting stuff off the underside of cookware! I had hard, scaly water deposits on the glass surrounding our powder room faucet (one of those fancy, highfalutin modern-looking things). I've tried everything for four years to get this stuff off. One day, I thought, maybe I'll try my sponges. Took it all off super easily!!!! The faucet looks like new. My only rec is to spot-test your item first before using it because it will scratch certain surfaces if you scrub too aggressively (for example, it gets the burned-on, weird stuff off of the bottom of my fave Our Place pan, but I rubbed too hard in one spot and it took the color right off lol)." —Hoarder

Get an eight-pack from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in two sponge thicknesses).

15. A pet ear treatment that'll eliminate the goo that's been causing irritation and inflammation for your four-legged pal.

www.amazon.com

It also helps protect against fungal and bacterial infections, like yeast and staph infections!

Promising review: "My husband and I just adopted our cute puppy Winston from The Humane Society. When we adopted him, his ears were unfortunately pretty dirty, but after using this ear cleaner today, his ears are so clean!! I'm so amazed at everything it managed to get out. Our puppy's ears look so much better now! I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a dog." —Jerome F

Get it from Amazon for $16.99.

16. A beeswax wood polish and conditioner — it can work wonders for restoring that sacred antique you were about to give up on. Instead of slathering it in a coat of paint, try this first! It's made with beeswax that'll instantly revive your sad furniture, doors, and more.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "What is this sorcery?! I've been slowly replacing my hand-me-down furniture with mid-century beauties. The pieces I can afford are in good but not perfect shape. There are scratches, dents, scuffs, etc. This stuff is MAGIC. It doesn't help the physical dents, obviously, but it virtually erases the color defects so your eyes don't even register the damage. I bought this after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article about must-have household care products, and this really is essential. After I used it on my bedroom suite, I tried it on my door frames, and WOW. My house is old, built in the '60s, and the tired, worn-down wood has come back to life! This is a long-term relationship, and I will always have some on hand." —Lisa McCool

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

17. And a pack of touch-up markers and wax sticks for anyone who needs help getting rid of minor scuffs and scratches instead of buying a whole new piece of furniture. This quick and easy DIY fix will have your stuff lookin' flawless in no time.

www.amazon.com

The kit includes six repair markers, six wax sticks, and one wax stick sharpener.

Promising review: "I. LOVE. THESE. MARKERS!! I bought this because I was using a brown Sharpie on my coffee table, which was getting chips from normal wear and tear. The Sharpie would always rub off over time, and of course, it was not exactly a color match. I bought these on a whim, and WOW— they are amazing! Even the black worked SO much better on my black bedroom furniture than a normal black Sharpie. These are buildable, so you can start with a semi-transparent, lighter mark, and you can build it up darker as you continue to go over it. (NOTE: I have not even tried the crayons yet because the markers are SO good!)" —SR

Get a pack of 13 from Amazon for $14.49.

18. A toilet tank cleaner you'll probably kick yourself for not buying sooner. It works wonders at removing hard water deposits and other tough toilet stains without nonstop scrubbing. Add it directly to the tank and your work is done! For best results, let it sit overnight. Bonus: It's safe on pipes, too. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! First of all, I was shocked when I noticed that my toilet tank was so filthy. I never looked in there, but there was a reason that my toilet bowl needed to be scrubbed every day. The tank was so nasty I couldn't even see the bottom. I really didn't want to drain the water and scrub the tank, then I saw this. I honestly didn't expect that it would actually work since my tank was so nasty. I dumped this little miracle product in the tank and left it overnight, and the next morning, I saw a much cleaner tank. I can actually see in there now. No draining or scrubbing. Amazing stuff!" —Linda Baker

Get it from Amazon for $7.07 (also available in packs of six).

19. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to help kick stale breath and leave your mouth with a fresh, clean feeling. All that gunk living on the surface of your tongue = GONE! No one will be offering you an unsolicited stick of gum in the near future.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Embarrassingly Gross. Never had any idea what I’d pull off my tongue each morning… I’ll save you the details – but surprised it took me into my mid-40s to discover [this]. Every human who brushes their teeth needs one… [it] has already helped my breath." —L. Utton

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.76 (available in various styles, and in packs of three or individually).

20. *THE* Pink Stuff, a miraculous cleaning paste to get rid of tough messes before your very eyes.

Just ask any of the thousands of reviewers who gave it 5 stars!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this product for my stove because if there's one thing I dislike, it's cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays, and they all are so toxic and don't work for me. But this product, oh my goodness, is legit a miracle. It doesn't have any smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area, then wipe it off with a damp cloth, and voilà — magic!" —May

Get it from Amazon for $5.97 (also available as a two-pack and in a bundle with a scrubber sponge).

21. A double-sided hairbrush cleaning brush that'll pull out ALL the hair and product buildup that's been living rent-free in your brush. The bristles are designed to extract all types of hair *and* the pointed end helps rake out loose hair.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the tool I never knew I needed. It may seem like a silly thing to spend money on when you can clean your brush out by hand but this gets so much more out of the brush! It's easy and rather enjoyable. Who wants to brush their nice clean hair with a brush full of dirty oily hair and dust? When you really think about it, it makes you want to throw out all your old brushes. I will be buying these as gifts for all my girlfriends." —emmaline

Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

22. A versatile slicker brush because let's face it, your faux fur rugs, blankets, and jackets have seen better days. Lucky for you, this super ~slick~ tool can zhuzh up wool, sheepskin, cashmere, faux fur, etc. so it looks new again.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where have these been all my life? We purchased a couple of beautiful charcoal-gray (dyed) sheepskin rugs for both sides of our bed. It used to feel really nice to get out of bed and set your feet on them. But after many years and a couple of dogs, my reaction to putting my feet down is, 'Ew. What the heck did I just step on?' Because of the dye, we can't just wash them or get them too wet. And I'm kind of lazy and forgetful. (Meaning, I've been thinking of taking them to a dry cleaner for years — but how much will that cost?) After our puppy had an accident (the worst kind of accident) on one, I knew I had to do something. These rugs weren't cheap, so tossing them wasn't an option. I cleaned up the 'accident' as best I could, but that left the spot feeling kind of dry and crunchy. So, after reading and googling, I decided to try one of these wire wool brushes. HALLELUJAH! It took some muscle to thoroughly brush each rug, but wow, not only did it re-fluff and revive the wool, but it also pulled up a lot of loose dirt and anything that was stuck to the fibers. I really wish I had gotten this brush sooner!" —Renee

Get it from Amazon for $17.99.

23. A stainless-steel foot file to help you swap crusty feet for baby-soft ones. All you gotta do is rub this file back and forth on your feet and watch the dead skin fall right off! You can immediately toss it in the trash OR snap a pic to remember the astonishing result (even tho it'll be permanently burned into your memory).

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "OMFreakinG!!! I just received this foot file today, and I'm officially a believer!!! I hate the thought of anyone touching my feet, so I have been trying to find something to do pedicures by myself, and nothing worked well. I was scrolling Facebook and came across a post about Amazon's top-rated products. When I saw this, I was skeptical but thought I would try it out, and I'm so glad I did. This file got my feet baby smooth within minutes with such ease after months of built-up dead skin. With this on the market, I don't know why anybody would want to go spend a ton of money at a nail salon." —Tasha P

Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in five colors and two-packs).

24. A mouthguard and retainer cleaner if yours is in dire need of a refresh. Drop a tablet in a glass of warm water, then add your mouthguard, retainer, or Invisalign to help obliterate odor-causing bacteria, discoloration, and plaque.

www.amazon.com

You can use these tablets on your Invisalign, night guards, retainers, dentures, and more.

Promising review: "I really loved this product. I am currently waiting for a new Invisalign set. My old Invisalign needed to be cleaned. I read the reviews and decided to purchase. OMG it worked! There was a fresh taste and they were clean. I wish I had found this product sooner. I did let them soak overnight only because I had been wearing them for the last four months. Nothing happened to Invisalign; there was no weakness or anything. Just very clean and fresh. If I could have given the product 10 stars, I would have." —Lisa R.

www.amazon.com

The battery-operated model requires two AA batteries, not included. 

Promising review: "Okay, I don’t normally rave about things like this. I bought this on a whim in a last attempt to save my favorite duvet cover. The pills had gotten to the point where it was seriously uncomfortable to sleep with them getting all up in my leg space. I thought I was going to have to get a new duvet cover entirely. Along came this lil' baby. Not only is my duvet cover basically brand new, but I have found a new hobby. I’m depilling everything. Sweatshirts, leggings, blankets, socks, anything that looks like it needs some love. It does the job quickly and leaves everything looking fresh. Hi, I’m obsessed. I can’t stop. I should send this back. I’ve started asking if my neighbors need anything depilled. I’m going to buy one of these for everyone in my life. Everyone needs to own this. Take it away from me." —Sydney Selmer

Get it from Amazon for $11.83 (also available in a rechargeable version in black).

Promising reviews: "I usually use Dr. Bronner's but I wanted to give this a try after seeing it on TikTok. I actually like this better and feel really clean after using. Love the fresh smell. Also helped an eczema breakout." —KJeanine ATL

"I don't know how or why but this stuff works really well. A little goes a long way too. Sometimes I do two applications and allow the first round a minute or two to work before rinsing and applying a second round. I've used it to help with athlete's foot and stinky armpits (getting older has been a great experience). I had a rough, persistent patch of skin I couldn't get to go away and this cleared it up with one application! It's like a magic potion. I honestly don't use it as a regular wash. I only use it as needed and it almost feels like it should be a prescription." —Jessica

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The dogs love this stuff. The picture attached is only after two weeks of use (brushing two times a day). The dogs love the flavor and actually think of tooth brushing as a treat now. I also put it in a chew toy for them to chew on to help brush their own teeth. We used children tooth brushes at first to help her gums adjust and now use an actual dog toothbrush." —Paisley

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two sizes and a peanut flavor).

Promising review: "I bought a sorta white leather sectional for $150 stained and dirty but no major wear or tears. Well, the pictures tell it all! It took at least three cycles of gentle scrubbing and wiping off raised dirt and a little extra for bad stains! A lot of elbow grease but holy crap! Super nice couch now!" —iPoutside365

Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it'll last you several months with daily use.

Promising reviews: "Been buying this product for a few years now. The dramatic change to the even tone and youthfulness of my skin is unmatched!! This serum works like magic. Love it!!" —Bria 

"Best $20 ever spent!!! The results are unbelievable. I was a bit skeptical because all the reviews were from Caucasian [people], and I was slightly worried that my skin would not respond as well, but I was quite mistaken. With or without makeup, my skin is bright and smooth, and my spots are disappearing. One other result I am sure a number of people have not noticed is that your palms get softer too; I guess the residue on the palms makes it soft and supple." —Mayowa O

33. A pet stain *and* odor eliminator because you should be able to do both at once. This stuff will help you tackle accidents and messes as soon as they happen. After this cleaner, it'll look and smell like nothing happened — yes, the outcome is *that* dramatic. You can use it on many surfaces, including carpet, furniture, floors, and clothing!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This stain and odor eliminator spray uses a chlorine-free and color-safe formula that is safe to use around pets and children. The natural enzymes in this product are activated on contact, which allows it to feed on ammonia crystals and organic matter until they're completely eliminated.

Promising review: "I have an elderly dog who has occasional accidents and a cat with chronic bladder issues. Without this product, I’m pretty sure I would’ve burned down the house. On fresh accidents, it works with just one treatment. It removes the stains, and more importantly, it completely removes the odors. On older, setting stains, it completely removes stains and odors after several repeat treatments. I’ve tried so many products over the years. Hands-down, this is the best." —SR Kelly

Get it from Amazon for $19.13+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

34. A piercing bump solution — you didn't go through the pain of a piercing for a pesky keloid to steal the spotlight! This formula is rich in oils, including jojoba, grape seed, and rose to help gradually reduce bumps and scars over time.

www.amazon.com

This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 three times a day as long as needed. Be sure to be patient as the healing process takes time!

Talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "This product is amazing!! Truly a miracle product. I had an AWFUL keloid bump forming near my nose piercing about six weeks after getting it done, and it was just getting bigger and more irritated by the day, nothing was helping. I bought this stuff and started using it, and in less than two weeks, my huge keloid was completely gone! I was definitely skeptical and a little nervous when it didn’t seem to be getting noticeably smaller after a week, but then the second week, it started totally disappearing so make sure to give it some time to work if your bump is on the larger side. If you remain patient and apply it twice a day, it should do the trick! Also smells pretty good, definitely no bothersome or overwhelming scent, which is appreciated in a product that I’m applying on the nose area." —Jordan Caprigno

Get it from Amazon for $12.85 (also available in multipacks).

35. And a Bissell Little Green machine, which is a portable, lightweight device that can combat the much larger stains around your home.

Promising review: "We have a small couch in our bedroom, and our littlest will sleep there sometimes and has had a few accidents on the couch, so now it has a urine smell. I honestly went over the couch about four times, and each time, the water came back up brown! After the fourth time, though, the urine smell is finally just about gone, with the exception of one small spot (instead of the entire couch cushion)! I quickly went to clean our ivory cushion dining room chairs, and I didn't realize how dirty they even were until cleaning them. More brown water! This is a great buy if you have kids and pets." —Family

36. A jetted tub cleaner when you'd rather not bathe in a tub with yucky jets that can be traced back to...countless previous owners. If you've avoided taking a bath because of the questionable gunk lurking in the jets, you *need* this cleaner in your life.

It takes just 15 minutes to clean — run the water, pour it in, and fire up the jets!

Promising review: "We bought a house with a jetted tub in December. Despite several DIY cleaners, the jets still had a funky smell.

Bonus is my entire bedroom suite smelled clean after using!" —Meganb

37. A set of closet organizers if you know (and loathe) the feeling of hopelessly digging around for that *one* pair of socks and coming up empty. This organizer will whip your messy drawers back into shape ASAP. It's also great for the bras, underwear, and scarves you can never seem to find.

www.amazon.com

BTW, some reviewers mention that bras with larger cups don't fit in the bra organizer quite as well, but it can still be used for other garments!

Promising reviews: "Ordered two of these sets to tackle an unruly sock drawer, and I’m thrilled with the results. I was nervous that the sizes would make odd configurations in the drawer, but they fit rather well. If every pair of socks was rolled up they might fit a bit better into the dividers, but I want to see the sock pattern when I open the drawer. I’ll use the extra two pieces from the sets in the closet somewhere. Seem like decent quality, they zip diagonally across the bottom to stabilize the dividers." —MissTish64

"Just got this for our baby drawers and it's so helpful for organizing their little outfits and onesies. I was overwhelmed at first with all the clothes in the drawer and now I feel so much better opening it up. Game changer!" —kristy

It helps hydrate and exfoliate brittle nails while reducing discoloration and thickness! This is great for anyone dealing with nail psoriasis, fungus, gel manicure damage, and nail aging.

www.amazon.com

Apply a thin layer twice per day for the first week, then once per day thereafter.

Promising review: "Can't believe how fast this stuff works!! Still have a bit to remove/still some ways to go, but I'm amazed. My poor toenails have taken a beating from all the miles ran over the years and toenail polish. I was so embarrassed of them and I didn't know what to do. I just kept putting on more polish to hide them. Now, I think after a few more weeks, I'll be comfortable going without any polish and possibly go get my first ever pedicure :-) Spend the extra money and get this stuff. Plus it's like liquid so there's more than enough in the bottle to treat your nails [and] will last a long time." —Gus

Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard.

Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. It was backordered but then I got an email saying it was in stock and I was SO excited.

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots all about the size of a dollar bill baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up. It broke apart with the broom and the stains were gone, just swept up the powder pieces — took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and it's easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Humble Suds is a small business based in Evergreen, Colorado, and run by moms Holli and Jennifer.

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Danielle Healy swears by this stuff. In her own words: "I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I've been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success), we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"

Promising review: "Buyer beware: don’t buy just one!! Learn from my mistake, and buy at least two jars because this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I used it on my textured shower floor. It was EASIER to clean and required less scrubbing than any other product I’ve used, including CLR. If you have black matte bathroom fixtures, this is the stuff you need. My shower and sink drains look brand new. My other favorite part about this scour paste, is the fact that I don’t need to use any paper towels. Just a wet rag to wipe it all down at the end. I will be buying more jars for myself and to give to my friends because this stuff is absolutely amazing. You won’t regret it!" —littleashleyshortcak

Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lillyhas to say about this spray: "I live in an apartment without a dishwasher, and I honestly use that as an excuse to order takeout food instead of cooking. But, as soon as I got my hands on a bottle of this stuff (regular Dawn is my go-to dish soap, BTW), I put it to use on both a saucepan I used to make homemade enchilada sauce *and* the casserole dish I baked those enchiladas, which had a ton of caked-on food. It really does work like I say it does! Like, scary well."

Promising review: "I recently saw a dermatologist talk about those clogged pores on and around your nose. If they are of uniform size, they aren't blackheads. She suggested using a sulfur soap to get rid of or minimize those stubborn clogged pores. This has a slight sulfur smell, it is not overwhelming and it disappears when dried. It works! My pores are much smaller. After applying and drying, moisturize." —Sandy G
