1. A bottle of sulfate-free biotin shampoo with a blend of botanical extracts to help thicken the appearance of your lovely tresses. Plus, since it's a clarifying shampoo, it also gets rid of product buildup on your scalp when you use it!

www.amazon.com

Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic.

Maple Holistics is a small biz offering unique beauty products created with all-natural ingredients.

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." —Diane J. Huff

2. A pack of two tongue scrapers that'll help eradicate bad breath and bacteria buildup and enhance your tastebuds to make your mouth feel better than ever. Plus, your tongue will return to its natural color with consistent cleaning!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Mouthology is a small business creating personal care products.

Promising review: "These tongue cleaners are definitely stainless steel! You can tell how great the quality is just by holding it in your hand. I use this on my tongue, and I’ve noticed an incredible difference. My tongue feels clean, and the gunk is gone. It sort of grips the tongue which helps grab any left over debris. Be sure to use it over the sink as the debris and saliva will definitely slide off your tongue. To clean, simply rinse with warm water and allow it to air dry! I deal with a lot of dry mouth, especially since I use a CPAP machine to sleep at night. This tool is incredible at getting that bad bacteria off the tongue that shows a white cast and also creates sulfur compounds which makes your breath stink!!" —GreyElt

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two styles and in multipacks).

3. A cutlery drawer organizer, which takes up half the space of a typical silverware organizer, meaning you'll have much more room in your drawers for larger cooking utensils, wine stoppers, tools, etc. BRB, stocking up on all those kitchen trinkets I never had space for before!

www.amazon.com

One tray fits up to 24 pieces of cutlery.

Promising review: "THE BEST silverware storage organizer compartments I’ve EVER had in my entire life! We have a large family and therefore have the need for a lot of silverware. Unfortunately we have a small shallow and narrow drawer in our house but it was always full! Constantly disorganized before, and now amazingly organized. The only reason I would hesitate would be if your drawer is not adequately deep, but from reading reviews people said if they had 3.5 inches of depth it would be just fine which is exactly what I have and there’s adequate drawer depth for me. I measured my skinny drawer and realized I still had space for two units and took the plunge and am so glad I did! Silverware goes quickly from the dishwasher straight into the drawer and you don’t have to stack perfectly to put a lot in!!! ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW, you’ll be glad you did if you have the same problem as we did!" —oceantiff

Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in four styles and three sizes).

4. A pack of dishwasher cleaning tablets that help get rid of limescale and odor-causing residue hiding in your dishwasher. All you do is pop it in with a regular load and then enjoy knowing you can stop rinsing that mysterious white film off your dishes after running a wash.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Convenient, easy, quick way to keep the dishwasher fresh and working at peak." —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.

5. A TikTok-famous mildly-abrasive pink cleaning paste to erase even the most difficult of stains in your home, from hard water in the bathroom to caked-up grease and food on the stovetop. Seriously, it's earned its loyal TikTok fanbase and hundreds of thousands of positive reviews for a darn good reason.

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.

6. A set of closet organizers designed to hold your bras, socks, underwear, and more in individual compartments, so you can see everything all at once instead of digging around forever to find something to wear (we all have a favorite bra, no judgment)!

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

Get it from Amazon for $12.01+ (available in seven colors).

7. A piercing bump solution for anyone whose experienced keloids, bumps, and scars with their piercings. This will help reduce their appearance and deliver some partial relief if you can't get an appointment with your doc ASAP.

www.amazon.com

Of course, this is not an overnight miracle product. You should apply this 2–3 times a day and eventually, you may start to see results!

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

BuzzFeed Shopping contributor Jordan Grigsby has used this and here's what she has to say: "Oh! BTW, I bought this. Last year I got a dermal piercing on my chest and since literally just about every piercing I've ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023 and around May I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare and I'm so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming cuz I just knew it'd get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. This stuff always gets rid of keloids for me, it's such a life saver. You do have to be patient and consistent, this is NOT an overnight miracle but it's worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for like another week or two even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life." 

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

8. An under-eye brightener designed with a lightweight, color-balancing formula infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing shea butter for a reliable coverage solution that's nothing short of practical magic.

www.amazon.com

Because of the color-balancing, one of the two shade options is designed to work with any skin tone. So, the pink would be best for fairer skin and the orange-ish hue would work for deeper skin tones.

Promising review: "Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it." —Placeholder

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades). 

9. An instant mold and mildew remover spray to eliminate any stubborn splotches that you figured you just had to live with — not anymore! Forget scrubbing; just spray this on whatever surface has the stain, walk away, and do whatever else is on your agenda, and when you get back...the mess is gone, and everything looks brand spanking new, just like magic.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have a small three-tier water fountain in 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).

10. A cable organizer box for hiding your surge protector and all the plugs and wires sprouting from it. It's practically magic the way all your cords just disappear and your space is decluttered!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This made a corner with lots of cords, much more appealing! We were able to stuff all those cords inside and hide them away! Box is cute too!" —KH

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

www.amazon.com

Check out the Lash Princess mascara on TikTok!

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black and brown).

12. A Clorox Toilet Wand Starter Kit designed to kill bacteria and viruses lurking on the inside of your porcelain throne. Simply pop on one of the refill sponge heads, scrub the inside of the bowl, and then throw it away! Cleaning the toilet *literally* couldn't be simpler.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The kit includes a wand, six refill heads filled with Clorox, and a storage caddy that sits right next to toilet! The wand is easy to use and has a button to pop the used sponge head off, so you don't have to touch it — and the sponge heads are even designed specifically to fit under the rim of your toilet!

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semi-regular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff that builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session (pictured above)!" —Whitney

Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

13. A teeth-whitening pen, which starts delivering results in just two weeks by simply painting a thin layer over your teeth every night! If whitening trays and strips seem like too much of a hassle, these travel-friendly pens are easy to use and effectively remove stains over time for a brighter, whiter smile!

www.amazon.com

Each pen can be used up to 20 times.

Promising review: "I’ve had stained teeth from drinking coffee for over 50 years. I tried brushing after having my daily coffee and even used a professional solution in a tray, but nothing worked. I used the AsaVea pen twice the first day and saw immediate results. After a week of using the pen as directed twice a day, I’m proud to smile!" —Amazon Customer

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $10.88.

14. A sheepskin rug brush — a slicker brush designed to help remove matting and clumps of fabric so your rug looks and feels as expensive as the price tag it came with. If you own anything fleece or plush and want to return it back to its original condition (or close to), then you absolutely need this!

www.amazon.com, 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.

15. A hairbrush cleaning tool that'll help you get all the dead hair and product residue out of your brushes, because let's be honest, your fingers aren't getting all the hair out and it's not worth the mess trying.

www.amazon.com

The tool is designed with a pointed end for removing tangles, the stiff bristles on the side are designed to remove dust and dirt, and the bristles at the other end can help deep clean your hairbrush.

Promising review: "When I bought this, I was really skeptical. I am grossed out by my hairbrush and clean it all the time. I've soaked it in vinegar and tea tree oil, used a toothbrush, scrubbed it with shampoo, picked it clean by hand — everything you can think of. Still, it's so hard to get the little lint that forms at the base of the brush — they don't dissolve off, and you have to pick them off the bristles one by one because a toothbrush won't even break them up. This thing works amazingly. I don't know why, it just does — the particular texture of the bristles on this really grabs everything. It scraped the little lint rings right off, and now my brush is cleaner, 10 times as fast." —HeartsofHavoc

Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

16. And a Pikk-it tool, which is specifically designed to remove hair that's tangled in the vacuum head and make it work less than optimally. You think your fingers can reach all the hair in there, but this nifty tool will prove you wrong and get it *real* clean!

Amazon, 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.

17. A jar of Brazilian Bum Bum body cream that boasts a blend of caffeine-packed guarana extract and coconut oil to help *visibly* firm and moisturize skin, so you can step out feeling as confident as ever. And it won't hurt that it also smells ah-may-zing with creamy, delectable notes of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla! ✨ 

@soldejaniero / Via www.instagram.com, www.amazon.com

Caffeine has a number of skincare benefits, including brightening and temporarily reducing the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that's something you're looking to do! You can read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic.

Promising review: "I bought this for the first time a few years ago to replace the body lotion I had previously used for years and years. While more expensive, I was willing to try Bum Bum cream based on the previous reviews. And it has not disappointed! Not too thick. Not sticky. And the smell is amazing. I get told many times a week how good I smell." —Libby Solomon

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes).

18. Joesoef's sulfur soap, which is dermatologist-approved for helping treat acne breakouts because of the antibacterial cleansing properties of volcanic sulfur. So, if you don't plan on sitting at the base of a volcano and letting the sulfuric springs work their miracle healing anytime soon...this will unclog your pores and eliminate blackheads just the same (if not better).

www.amazon.com

Joesoef Skin Care is a small business creating a range of acne skincare treatments.

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

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two scents and in multipacks). 

19. A game-changing dishwashing spray that helps break down grease and food debris *in minutes*, in turn saving you loads of time by eliminating the need to pre-soak your dishes. Just spray and wipe the mess away! 🥲 

www.amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Sprayto see it in action! 

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: "A must-have for newborns. My 6-week-old had bad cradle cap and this brush worked miracles. I wish I had it from birth. We have continued to use this brush even though the cradle cap has gone and it does wonders on the scalp and keeping the hair looking healthy. Highly highly recommend. Plus, my baby enjoys the gentle scalp massage from the soft bristles." —LM01

21. The very popular Chom Chom roller, a reusable pet hair remover with a patented brush design, so all you have to do is simply push back and forth to collect all the hair and lint from clothes, furniture, car seats, cat towers, etc., into a chamber. Then remove and throw all that hair away. Over 195,000 reviewers have bestowed it with a rating averaging 4.5 stars, and we agree: If a member of your household happens to have four legs and a ton of hair, this is a must-buy.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired, 20-pound tabby, and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care; it's THAT good." —DH

22. A beeswax wood polish and conditioner to bring your worn furniture and cabinets back to life in no time at all. So, before you start saving up for a replacement, try out this polish first. It even helps keep the wood hydrated to make the shine last longer!

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 $5.99+ (available in three sizes).

23. Plus, a leather cleaner just perfect for reviving furniture, bags, shoes, and other beloved leather goods that might be looking a little less than ideal lately...that just means they're well-loved! It's much much cheaper to spend time restoring and protecting what you already have instead of scouring the internet and spending money for a brand new version.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have both the cleanser and conditioner of Leather Honey and I. Am. In. Love! Following the directions has gotten 10-year-old stains out of a leather chair, and slowly but surely, the conditioner is bringing the leather back to life. I actually intended to donate both a loveseat and a chair with an ottoman, but not now. I was really skeptical because of the well-known brands I had tried in the past, but this stuff is a miracle worker. It's taking time because it's been such long-ago stains, but my patience is paying off. It was recommended to me by a guy who sells only leather furniture so that's why I took the plunge. It's also not as expensive as some of the ones out in the garage. Wish I could give it 10 stars. I rarely write reviews but this one really deserved a good one." —A. Eley

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes).

24. Emergency Stain Rescue Stain Remover, an all-purpose cleaning spray that's basically Dumbledore-level sorcery for how well it removes stains from carpet, upholstery, and clothes like that! *snaps* It can even tackle the toughest stains like blood, paint, coffee, ketchup, and those deodorant stains ruining all your favorite dark-colored tops. 😭

"I've tried Shout wipes, stain removal pens, and all the other tricks in the book. This removes organic stains from sweat better than anything I've tried thus far. I followed the directions, got the fabric wet, sprayed it on, and left it to chill for an hour. When I came back, I was dumbfounded.

25. A stainless-steel foot file, which requires a little elbow grease to tackle those crusted and calloused feet once and for all (or at least regularly). You'll end up with baby-soft feet and enough dead skin debris that you'll need to vacuum up afterward...or *gag* collect it in a cup to throw away later.

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

26. A pair of seamless and reusable Nippies silicone pasties that allow you to wear your favorite tops and dresses without worrying about stubborn bra straps, visible piercings, *or* a sudden drop in temperature. Reviewers love that these nipple covers look seamless underneath clothing and stay put, no matter the occasion.

www.amazon.com

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown has tried these and says: "Thanks to a ~sample sale~, I got my hands on a gorgeous unlined silk dress last summer that I LOVED but absolutely could not wear with a bra, not even a strapless one. Queue an Amazon search for pasties, because quite frankly I'm self-conscious about my nipples deciding to poke out while I'm wearing just a silk dress (and my boobs are the type that don't necessarily need support all of the time). There I found something even better than I expected: these self-adhesive silicone pasties called Nippies that are 100% invisible under clothes, so comfortable I barely notice I'm wearing them, and, at least so far, pretty darn reusable.

I've worn them four or five times now, washing with hand soap and water afterward every time as directed, and they're exactly what I needed! It's simple: you stick 'em onto clean, dry, lotion-free skin, and they stay put and comfy for hours, even through moderate sweat. They've performed perfectly every time I've worn them: for day-long shopping excursions, outdoor parties, and for nights out dancing. They come in a small reusable storage box with two stiff plastic domes for them to sit on, so they'll stay perfectly intact and dust-free in your drawer and are easy to pack for travel. Oh and over 14,000 reviewers — like, five times the number of people in my high school graduating class — have rated them 5-stars on Amazon, so I know I'm not alone in my success with them!"

27. And a breathable, sweat-proof boob tape kit in case you have a dress or top with a strange cut that wouldn't work with a bra, but you want a bra-like lift. This kit includes boob tape, satin petals to protect your nipples, and even a pair of silicone pasties. It even comes with a convenient carrying pouch you could effortlessly pack in your go-bag!

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 absolute 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

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I moved to a new (well, not exactly new — the building is about 50 years old) NJ apartment three years ago, and I loved it then and still love it today. But there was one serious issue at the time I moved in: my toilet tank. Three years ago, just for curiosity's sake, I lifted the cover, and I nearly fainted after what I peeked inside. It seemed the tank had never been cleaned since it was first installed. I tried to clean it out using vinegar. No use. Scrub it with Comet? Forget it. Straight bleach? Worked a bit, but it was a waste of time. Happily, I came across this product. After two applications, I allowed the tank to marinate (soak) overnight. After I lifted the cover in the morning, what a shock!!! The entire tank looked SO MUCH CLEANER THAN NEVER BEFORE. This is a gift from the toilet gods. Now I have the cleanest toilet tank in my entire building, for sure :) Very happy and totally satisfied with this cleaner, and I'll purchase it again if needed from Amazon. You won't be disappointed with this amazing yucky tank cleaner." —IZZY

29. A screen-cleaning brush so you 🎵 can see clearly now 🎵 through your mesh screen covered with bug carcasses, dirt, and other things from nature that have gotten stuck. You can use it wet or dry and simply swipe it across the screen to clean!

www.amazon.com

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

30. A cruelty-free pet ear cleanser that'll gently (but effectively) clean your furry friend's ears and help make ear cleaning time a little easier for both you and the fur babe. Just fill the ear canal, gently massage it in, gently remove debris with a cotton ball, and boom, clean, fresh ears.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I have rescue poodles and any poodle owner can tell you about cleaning poodle ears. It's...nasty. But when you add years of neglect on top of already prone-to-funk ears it is just terrible. Infections, pain, and stressful cleanings were part of our lives until I tried this stuff. I have no idea how it works but it's MAGICAL. You squirt it in, smoosh it around, and the ick just starts wiping right off. It somehow fixes the sticky and stinky ear goop and makes cleaning ears as easy as rubbing them out with a cotton pad. It's gentle on the skin and hair while breaking up the funk. I wish I'd found this years ago." —Jenae

31. An enamel paint, so you can easily refresh the surfaces of metal appliances, like your fridge (plus washers, dryers, and bathtubs), if they've begun showing some wear, scratches, and rusting after years of dependable usage.

Some reviewers have even used this on their countertops or sinks, but if you do that, you may want to use an acrylic sealer! According to one reviewer, it's also great to use on vintage appliances!

Promising review: "Oh my goodness! This stuff is amazing! I remodeled my bathroom, and the washer and dryer looked terrible. One coat of this, and they look brand new! I’m going to add another coat today just to make it extra durable." —Linda Forester

Promising review: "I'm in my mid-30s and realized it was time to step up my skincare game. I always looked younger than my age, but recently that's worn off a bit and makeup remover wipes and argan oil at night weren't cutting it. I happened across this trio and, for the price, thought I'd give it a try. My skin feels AMAZING!!! This trio is worth every penny. I don't even feel like I have to wear makeup all the time anymore and when I do, it goes on so much smoother. This is definitely going to be part of my routine for years to come!" —Caitlin

33. A pack of Stomp 'N Go pads perfect for anyone who tends to clean up pet messes (well, urine that is) by stepping on a paper towel. These easy-to-use pads were designed for area stain removal and get to work in just a few easy steps: set, step, leave for 30 minutes, and remove. Time to tackle that vomit stain on your carpet that never seems to come out!

Promising review: "A GIFT FROM HEAVEN!! We have three dogs who sometimes have accidents. We’ve tried EVERYTHING — steam cleaning, sprays, you name it. Nothing has worked...UNTIL NOW!! I open the package above the stain and pour the extra solution on the stain before I stomp the pad down. I leave the pad for several hours (not quite 24 hours), and the stains are GONE!! I’ll use nothing else after these!!!" —Miko Furusushi

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $23.99.

34. And a Bissell Little Green Machine with a unique attachment that sprays cleaning solution, scrubs away the mess, *and* suctions it all up! So when tough messes pop up around the house, you won't have to think twice about how to clean them, thanks to this portable, tote-bag-size gadget.

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

Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (also available in a deluxe model).

35. A pack of furniture touch-up markers and wax sticks for those smaller scratches and scuffs that don't require a full replacement or refinish — seriously, it'll take only a few minutes to make your furniture or floor look like new!

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

Promising review: "Wow, my bathroom drawers are ELEVATED now. They look clean as hell, and I can actually find stuff. Easy to snap together and organize how you'd like. Definitely buying a second set for my kitchen drawers!" —Toni Bish

Promising review: "My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter, I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren’t new ones!" —Mom@home

Get five wipes from Amazon for $16.99.

38. A clear nail polish designed with a bitter taste to help put an end to nail biting, thumb sucking, and generally putting your hands in your mouth. It tastes so bad, and it's perfect for kids three and up who like to put their fingers in their mouths and seem to be constantly sick. It's safe and effective, and you'll definitely prefer chewing anything else.

www.amazon.com

Use it quickly because it expires in 24 months!

Promising review: "So, I bought this is the hopes of being left famished and never placing my hands in my mouth again. AND IT WORKED! I put the polish around my nails AND skin hoping for it to not harden like regular clear polish and to my surprise it was not uncomfortable and dried EXTREMELY fast. Now THE TASTE!!! is HORRIBLE LOL, it tastes like somebody mixed alcohol and Windex in a bottle and sprayed it in my mouth. It's not the kind of taste you could ever get used to, unless you're used to spaying perfume into your mouth on accident. Water is not enough to get rid of the taste, I would recommend brushing your tongue and lips to fully get rid of the taste because IT'S THAT STRONG! BUY IT!!!!" —carla

Get it from Amazon for $12.35.

39. A pet stain and odor eliminator that's created with an enzymatic formula, so it goes beyond erasing the dirt of the stain to *literally* eating up the smell-causing compounds, too. If you have a pet or child and have to deal with...less-than-pleasant bodily messes (read: blood, vomit, urine, etc.), an enzyme cleaner like this one is the best choice to banish them — preserving your carpet, furniture, and upholstery, etc., so you don't have to replace it completely. Basically, this will be your new secret weapon.

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 $23.92+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

40. An LED light therapy mask, which uses blue *and* red light to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, treat (and eventually clear) mild to moderate acne, fade scarring, and even prevent breakouts from happening! Skincare with a luxe flair? We love to see it!

Promising review: "This is the best thing I've ever done for my acne-prone skin. I put off purchasing a light system like this for years because of the cost. My hormonal acne got to the point where I was always having a break out, so I finally tried this. After just one session I could see a noticeable difference. A week of daily treatment and my acne is healing. This was all I was hoping for, just incredible. I also would recommend a Manuka oilfor acne breakouts, and of course a good serum, etc. The only other thing I've done that is great is microneedling. If I had to pick one tool to invest in though, this would be it." —amy dowell

41. A fast-drying grout paint pen because it's finally time to ditch the dingy grout bringing down your bathroom aesthetic! No one will know you didn't hire a professional because this easy-to-use pen simply disappears all the residue and dirt leftover from years of living (aka spills, steps, and stains you don't even remember the origin of).

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I used this product five years ago on the bathroom floor of a house we bought. It had beautiful beige tile and hideous orange grout. After cleaning the grout with a paste of OxiClean, I applied the pen. It covered completely, and I have beige grout. It has lasted without reapplying for five years. The floor is washed every week. We recently bought a vacation condo with beige tile and orange grout in the shower. I used the white pen, and the shower looks brand new. Now I ordered more for the floor." —Pamela Brucker

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip widths and other colors).

42. A bottle of Oh Yuk jetted tub cleaner to get into those hard-to-reach places (read: the inner pipes and jets) and wash all those dead skin cells, body oils, and hair from every user before you out of there. 🤢 Just look at the difference in the tub below — how would you even know all of that dirt is lurking in there?!

www.amazon.com

It only takes 15 minutes to clean — just run the water, pour it in, and turn the jets on!

Promising review: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house, and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now, our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" —Becky
