No need to avoid making eye contact with that cat urine spot on your bedroom floor.

The grease stain on your driveway. The breast milk stain on your Eras sweatshirt. Or even the gross ring on your guest bathroom toilet that just won't go away. Well, I have some solutions for you with gushing reviews from people who thought their stains would NEVER go away. 

Puracy is a small, family-owned business dedicated to creating natural and organic formulas that are not only effective, but safe for kids and pets. Aside from food stains, this spray also does a number on all other miscellaneous spots in your life like wine, coffee, makeup, and period blood!

Promising review: "Puracy is the best stain remover I've ever used! Grass stains? GONE. Blood? GONE. Baby poo on white clothes? Doesn't stand a chance! Seriously, Puracy got out stains from 6-year-old stored baby clothing!!! It's that good! Grease? Gone. Seriously this stuff is AMAZING! Buy it now!" —GrantedByTiffany

My colleague Maitland Quitmeyer swears by this stuff: "I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I've since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don't have to do that — the coffee can't stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here."

Promising review: "Wow! I don’t write many reviews because I am always ordering off Amazon, but I couldn’t help but write this one because this product is amazing!!!!! I have been trying to clean off some stains on my acrylic sink for years. I have tried everything I could think of, including other cleaners and polishers. But there were a couple of spots that would just not come off. It was just really yellow. I even tried harsh chemicals, like Comet. I tried rubbing alcohol, baking soda, and vinegar, Mr. Clean eraser, and scrubbing with a harsh scrubbing pad. Nothing took it off, except this product. It took just a little bit of elbow grease, but wow!!!" —ereou

Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

Promising review: "I'm a clean freak with hard water, and this stuff took off the build-up like magic. I would recommend using a slightly damp scratch pad. It takes a little elbow grease, but I have tried a ton of products, and this one is the only one that worked!" —Lori

Promising review: "Moved into a new rental with a washer and dryer, and the washer door had some mildew on the seals. This worked like magic. Will def add to cleaning routine. Strong and easy to use. Gel stays where you add it." —Amanda Rodriguez

Promising review: "Absolutely amazing, but it's right away!!! Removed all stains in minutes and took out all smells! It was so easy to use, it took minutes, and it removed everything super easily! Can not recommend enough!!!" —sophia

Promising review: "I’m a bit of clean freak. This tool is an essential tool that scrubs hard to remove bunt-on food and stains. A real game changer. So glad someone introduced this to me." —Grade E

Instant Power is a small biz specializing in plumbing and cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I was unsure of this. I mean… it’s the inside of my tank, so part of me was thinking, 'who cares? It’s not affecting the toilet's performance.' But all that dark red/brown staining was really bothering me every time I cleaned my bathroom and saw it. So I bought it. Poured half the bottle in the tank of each of our toilets first thing in the morning, and by bedtime, the tanks at and below the water line were nearly spotless. There is a ring still left around the top of each, and I WILL get in there and clean it up now that the rest of the tank looks so nice." —Ela McDowell

Promising review: "The water recently changed in our areas, and I noticed this awful blue staining. I had used this back in August and let it sit overnight, and it worked wonders! It worked so well, I purposely let my shower get gross again to take a picture to share with others. I work a demanding schedule and do not have time for deep cleaning ALL the time. This works wonders without scrubbing and no horrific fumes. I bought it for my almost 70-year-old Mom, too. She was so sick of scrubbing. Now she uses it bi-weekly! Highly recommend!" —Amelia

Get it from Amazon for $20.89+ (available in two scents, two sizes, and a two-pack).

One reviewer said this worked so well, that it means she didn't have to replace her old dishwasher!

Promising review: "Tried everything to clean out a really nasty dishwasher in my new apartment. Scrubbing everything wasn’t working. Ran with these three times and it took away 90% of the brown stains that were covering everything." —Weto56

Promising review: "These babies have transformed and reformed my slobby life. My dog sitter thought I got a new sink and fridge. I have never had more fun cleaning in my life — wait, I have never had any fun cleaning. But these magical creatures make it so freaking satisfying. No toxic stuff. No fumes. Just heavenly cleanliness. These are also much, much bigger than Magic Erasers. I cut them in half lengthwise, and they are STILL bigger. And they are a ton cheaper. Buy these. I don’t have much of a life, but I finally have a spotless sink." —Jimmy Jim Ereeno

Promising review: "I am blown away at how incredibly effective they are. I was not expecting them to work as well as a name brand, yet way more affordable. I did doors, frames, hallway, shoes...everything I could attack, I did with NO disappointment whatsoever. I believe I went through four, but being that I had so many more, it was amazing to me. I even did my leather sofa and WOW, WOW, WOW. The amount of dirt that came off was super INCREDIBLE. My sofa is shades lighter! And way more clean. Having these in a rented apartment works wonders beyond measure!!!" —Jai_Exc

Promising review: "Some would say I'm a clean freak, no harsh feelings though! I have used many 'ring' remover cleaners and none have worked like this pumie stone. It doesn’t scratch your bowl and the best part, you're not gagging on fumes from other harsh toilet bowl cleaners that promise removal of harsh water stains in your toilet. Not sure how it affects a well system though I’ve read that it’s ok." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Completely worth the price, durable, good for stain removal and deep cleaning." —Samuel Muñoz

Promising review: "Okay, so these cleaner pods are awesome! I didn't know how gross our Keurig was until today. The big mason jar on the left is when I actually ran the cleaner through plus one rinse cycle. The middle one is another rinse cycle and the last one, on the right, is the last one I did. So yes, I would suggest running two or three rinse cycles instead of the recommended one. But it's still an awesome product for the price! I have a Keurig 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421

Promising review: "We rent a house, and my mom parked her car in the driveway while we went on vacation. When she left and went home, we noticed an approx. 10 x 10 spot. Being that we rent and the fact that spots on the driveway look ugly, I purchased this, and it pulled the stain right out. When it was all said and done, where the spot was looked just like the rest of the driveway! Awesome! Super easy to use. Just follow the directions." —Dan

Promising review: "I cannot believe how well this worked. I am a CLEAN FREAK, and my nasty bathtub would literally keep me up at night. I tried every product on the shell,f and nothing worked. I literally scrubbed until my fingers were raw and still got nowhere. I sprayed this bad boy TWICE on the mildew stains and now they are COMPLETELY GONE!! I am so happy, relieved, and thankful, but also mad that I didn’t know about this product sooner. I absolutely, 100% recommend, and I would give it 10 stars if I could!" —Mackenzie Mayock

Promising review: "I am pregnant so I have a hard time scrubbing my floors but I am a clean freak. So I bought this to give it a try based on the reviews and this has been a lifesaver for me. Before this I used bleach, The Pink Stuff, etc, but flooring was still messy. Now I barely scrub and magic! Can’t find the proper words to describe this beauty." —Lila

Promising review: "We just moved into our home, and every day I cringed looking at our stained porcelain sink. I tried every non-abrasive cleaner I knew about before finally trying BKF. I had to do a few scrubs to really get it clean, but it’s amazing. So happy it worked!" —Amanda Naylor

Promising review: "A clean freak must-have! This is the best fabric seat cleaner ever!!! I have a light creamy seat and it gets stained easily, i had it cleaned numerous times at a deep clean car wash and they always leave water spot stains whenever the seats are dried. The light color seats make it so easy to see the flaws. This product work like a charm, I was skeptical since I tried couple of things before but nothing really worked. I just need to spray it once and scrub with a brush and it just come right off. For a clean freak, this is truly my dream come true." —Jonathan Erickson

Useful Products is a US-based small business established in 2007 by car wash owner, electrician, and former bodybuilder Anthony LaPolla that specializes in drill-cleaning brushes and attachments. 

Each of the different brush colors indicates which tasks the brushes are meant for based on their bristle type, so be sure to check which one is best suited for whatever you need to for! Yellow is the “all-purpose” medium bristle, but some are softer and harder depending on what types of surfaces you’re cleaning (but none of them will scratch!). 

Promising review: "I have been thinking about getting these brushes for a while. I finally did and I’m soooo happy! I would definitely describe myself as a bit of clean freak. After spending so much time hand scrubbing the bath tub, it was never quite enough. After a couple of minutes with these brushes, it’s cleaner than ever before! The beauty is that I no longer have to work so hard to get results! These are worth every penny and I wish I would have bought these ages ago. I used the black and yellow ones for the tub. These are a total game changer!!" —Mom4

Promising review: "An overjoyed clean freak! Absolutely the BEST cleaning tool I own! With these little babies, a hot soapy bucket of water and a microfiber cloth, I can FINALLY get into all the nooks and crannies around the house! They work wonders on things like window sills and sashes, baseboards, intricate trim, and cabinetry. No longer am I beating up my fingers and wearing my nails to the nubs getting scratched and bruised along the way. Keep your toothbrush where it belongs...in the bathroom and get these! Oxo please don't ever stop making these little wonders!" —KB

Promising review: "I love this product! It's a game changer. I have an older dog that is now starting to have accidents. I rent my place, and I was carpet cleaning every other week. Now with this, I don’t have to as much. She went on my new rug, which is white, and I was convinced it was gonna be ruined, but it’s not! The Stomp 'N Go did its job! My rug is perfect and no urine stains or odor. If you have a puppy or older dog, I highly suggest this product." —Sandra E.

Sunny & Honey is a family-run business making cleaning products safe enough to use around pets and powerful enough to get rid of pet stains.

Promising review: "I have a dog with Cushing’s disease, and she has frequent accidents, so a good carpet cleaning product is a must. So many products have overwhelming smells to cover the odor or don’t do enough and leave the house smelling like pee even after carpet washing. I liked Sunny & Honey so much for our machine I immediately bought the big bottle after just one use. Four days after the initial cleaning and the house still smells nice. The price may be a few dollars more than what I can buy at my local stores, but it is worth it. The smell isn't overpowering; the house just smells fresh and clean." —Trekkie

Promising review: "I use this in pretty much every load of laundry that I do! We have a very old dog, and every now and then, he will have an accident in the house, and it's usually on the carpet somewhere. I'll mix up a little bit of it in a small squeeze bottle and use it on the area after I have cleaned #2 up or soaked up #1, and it takes care of any odors and or stains!" —Rick C.

Promising reviews: "I have two Australian shepherds and make extra money by dog sitting through Rover. As you can imagine, my couch takes a lot of damage. The cushions have been vomited on, puked on, stepped on with muddy paws, and licked until damp. Well, I am amazed with the Bissell Little Green! I have no doubt that this purchase will be well worth the reasonable price for the use I’ll get out of it as a dog sitter. I had planned to use it as a spot cleaner (which I will), but after watching the dirty water come off of the 'clean' areas of the cushion? I’m considering just cleaning the whole couch!" —Ivy

"I purchased this item during Prime Day and wasn't sure how much I even would use it. It was at such a great price that I went for it, and I haven't been disappointed at all. I used it with the pet stain and odor eliminator, and it performed exactly as expected when my pet had a little accident. It removed every trace of the stain and smell! I'm a fan!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I know this sounds cliché, but I literally never write reviews. And here I am. I did it. Why did I do it? Because this product is absolutely, unbelievably unreal. I have dogs who pee and poop in the house sometimes, and I use this product to clean their messes. And it is miraculous. No stains, no smell, nothing. It almost works like an eraser. And it works on fabric, wood, rugs, glass. I buy three or four tubs at a time, because I don’t want to run out. This is my go-to for pretty much everything. And they’re really not that expensive. Kudos to the inventors of this!!!" —Jim

It can remove oil, grease, ink, grass, and blood stains for all my vampires out there. Psst, a few months ago, I recommended this to a friend who fell in a puddle of motor oil on a sidewalk, then accidentally wiped it on her camel coat. It got the stains out!

Promising review: "Best stain remover I have used yet. I wish they did a larger bottle. We have bunnies as pets and when they get old, their litter box habits go a bit by the wayside. We have loads of linens and peepads for them, but many of these items are white. Nothing has every truly cleared them but this knocks out those stains.I have also managed to remove old blood stains that have haunted some items." —Srae

To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with an absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin!

Promising review: "This is the best carpet stain remover! It cleaned long-standing, stubborn pet stains with ease. Made my carpet look almost new. Wish I’d tried it sooner." —jc

Promising review: "I have a cleaning business and often need to use urine cleaner at work. I’m always looking for a better product and I think I found one. It doesn’t be behind a horrible smell like some others I’ve used. I’ll be ordering more!" —Suchagemini

It can be used on leather shoes, accessories, interiors, furniture, upholstery, saddles, jackets, and tack.

Promising review: "I use this for my everyday boots as well as my dress shoes. I'm not always gentle with my boots and I thought I had ruined them the other day (worn out color, scuffs all over), but I cleaned the muck off, gave them a brushing, then applied this leather honey, and after letting it sit, my boots look almost like the day I bought them! It keeps the leather supple and restores color. You only need to use a small amount per use!" —David Horning

Promising review: "It’s a little hard to squeeze but that totally makes up for the AMAZING results. I was embarrassed about our tubs because the people we bought our house from didn’t caulk or seal them properly and this resulted in mildew buildup. I tried EVERYTHING until I saw this on TikTok, I believe — MIRACLE FREAKING WORKER. I will be buying more, the only complaint I will ever have is the shipping got mixed up but that is not a problem and was fixed very easily!" —Brooklyn Nguyen

Promising review: "I cannot say enough great things about this product. We just purchased a home that has a well with very high iron content in the water. I tried everything to remove the stains from our three toilets but nothing worked. I found this product online and immediately went to Amazon. The results blew me away. I didn't have to scrub at all. I let it sit in the tank for several hours and the results floored me!" —Toni Huitt

Promising review: "Worked wonders! I spilled nail polish remover on my nightstand. This worked like magic! Just rub lightly with the cloth." —JMac

Promising review: "Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom and scum and dirt cakes on there so easily. The only way I've been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch, I've spent hours and all it ever got was somewhat clean — never enough for me to want to take a real bath in it. This stuff works amazingly!! I sprayed it on (it came with a great spray nozzle and a lid) and left it for about 15–20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing the entire tub and walls, it was cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost melted off." —Amazon Customer
