This pink cleaning paste and sponge combo would be right up Glinda's alley — and it erases tough stains and grime like magic (so maybe Elphaba was involved too). And if you (like me) try to avoid scented products because your skin is sensitive, you'll be happy to know this is fragrance-free! Promising review: "I am a lotion user every single day. I use face moisturizers that I love. I am over the moon how good this is. I mainly use it on my neck, hands and forearms. The difference is amazing. My skin actually feels so good. I wish I could buy larger containers of it." —Kimberly P. For permanent markers specifically, reviewers say it does take some time and scrubbing, but they were able to get most if not all of the stain out with persistence! Promising review: "Imagine large blobs of permanent blue Sharpie on a white football uniform. Now imagine that the ink had sat on the garment for over a week before the uniform was washed and dried by a mom completely unaware of the ink blobs. This product took out 95%+ of the ink and was easy to use. Now said kiddo does not look like the only one with a spotted jersey. A+ result." —Baby B's Mom Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in three sizes and in multipacks). Promising review: "This stuff is incredible. I had suffered from minor acne for almost two years and I finally realized the products I was using were far too harsh for my dry, sensitive skin. After using gentle products and eventually moving onto k-beauty, I found this to lighten all the scarring from the years of picking at my breakouts. My scarring is still a bit noticeable but it was gotten tremendously better thanks to this product and this product alone. Pictures [above] show my acne a while ago and a more recent picture." —Marc Get it from Amazon for $19.66 (also available in a two-pack). Note: Furniture Clinic (the maker of this product) recommends testing to see if your leather is absorbent before using this product by seeing if a drop of water will soak into the undamaged part of the leather. If the water is able to soak in, use this balm! If it cannot soak in, they recommend using their leather repair paint instead. Promising review: "The sofa in the pictures [above] is 10 years old and well used. My wife and I could not believe the results after using the balm. Really got rid of the cracks. Amazing stuff. Highly recommend it. The two pictures are before and after using the product on one arm of the sofa. Match the color, and it is magic!" —Loyal Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.95+ (available in 16 colors and two kits). Caffeine can brighten skin and temporarily minimize the appearance of stretch marks and cellulite, if that’s something you’re looking for in a product. Read more about the skincare benefits of caffeine at the Cleveland Clinic. Promising review: "Like so many, I was brainwashed by TikTok into buying this rather expensive lotion...then I bought one for my mom, and one for my sister and five more for myself as they became harder to find. My favorite thing about it is the smell. Lightly tropical/coconutty but nothing overwhelming. Every time I wear it people say, 'What are you WEARING?' like I have some amazing perfume on. Besides that, it really is a great moisturizer. I’m not usually a sucker for marketing but this was so worth it." —Kristen Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in five sizes and in bundles). This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free. I've used Ecotools brush cleaning shampoo for years, and it makes cleaning my brushes so much easier. I just add a bit of the shampoo to my brush and gently rub it against a silicone mat under running water, and it makes quick work of removing all the makeup that's built up on my brush for, frankly, way too long. You'll see the water start running brown immediately, which is always super gross but also really satisfying, and once you see your brush return to its original color, you know you're done. And the bristles are always left as soft as before too! Promising review: "I've been skeptical about items that seem like glorified soap but got it as a gift. This cleaned my brushes like nothing else, with just a drop, a few seconds of spreading it around, and literally about 10 seconds of swishing in warm water. It was unbelievable. It took out weeks of caked-on 24-hour concealer and foundation, and left my brush soft and fluffy like it were brand new. I will always use this (and my brushes will always be clean!). It's nothing short of miraculous." —Chloe Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). Just presoak feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5–10 minutes, and rinse! It's recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file (keep reading for a great option!) just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind. Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok. My feet were sort of rough, and I used it as directed — after four applications, my feet are baby smooth. Now, I didn’t soak my feet properly the first three times, but the fourth time I did, and it made a big difference. Some did get on my skin, but it didn’t burn." —Coresa Get it from Amazon for $7.98+ (available in three scents and in two-packs). To clean, you just rinse it under water and let it air-dry. It even comes with a lid for sanitary storage! Promising review: "This foot scrubber deserves a 5-star review! It’s literally the best foot scrubber out there! I’ve tried the metal exfoliators, pumice stones, so many pedicures, etc. You name it, I’ve tried it. This is the ONLY one that has scrubbed off all of the dead/cracked skin on my heels and made them smooth again. I’m so excited I found this!" —Alli Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two colors and another shape). Promising review: "I wish I took before and after pictures because the results are unbelievable with no scrubbing or elbow grease. We have a stone floor/wall shower with stupid large and annoyingly mold prone grout lines. I used it per the directions and rinsed with hot hot water the next morning, and couldn’t believe all the crap that rinsed off. Seriously worth every penny!" —Kate Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents and two sizes, plus a two-pack). This pumice stone cleaner is free of chemicals and odors. It also has a heavy-duty plastic handle so you'll have a solid grip while you clean. Use gentle back-and-forth motions to remove stains and deposits from inside the toilet bowl, and voila! Promising review: "It really does work on the toughest hard water stains. It really is like magic. I used it for all my toilet bowls. However, a couple of notices you should know before buying: 1) You need patience, especially if your toilet bowls have very old stains. It took me 30 minutes of constant grinding, and I used the entire stick. 2) Do not push down on the stick aggressively; it will break in half, and I had to use it by hand. Cleaning power is incredible. I recommend this product." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (also available in multipacks). It's recommended that you do a patch test 24–48 hours before applying this all over your face, as it's a strong, concentrated formula. After that, apply three to five drops once daily and follow with a moisturizer (ideally one with SPF if you apply in the morning!). Though the bottle looks small, reviewers say it'll last you several months with daily use. Promising review: "I should have started using this years ago! I’m in my mid-30s and I’ve tried everything including much more expensive brands, Korean skincare, Japanese skincare, etc. but I’ve always had breakouts and problems with texture. This is by far the best vitamin C product I’ve tried. I’ve tried multiple vitamin C serums in the past, but they always broke me out or had a slimy or gritty texture. This serum has a smooth texture, soaks in quickly, does not pill with other products, and has noticeably cleared up my skin." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes). Be sure to follow the brand's instructions on how to use these together! 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 Get the pack of three from Amazon for $24.99. Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn’t look brand new like I was hoping, it’s 10 times better!! This product really does work!" —GreenGoddess Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $9.36. Promising review: "I am a middle-aged antiquer who loves wood and authenticity. This product rejuvenates aged wood leaving the antique finishes in place. It really does just hydrate and polish your wood. We literally were running around the house arguing over who got to hold the bottle as we treated all of the wood in our home. The transformation is unbelievable! We are so happy with it we ordered three more right away and are planning a wine/polish weekend. Everything it touches turns out amazing, from my grandmother's 150-year-old wood-framed mirror to our 40-year-old china hutch. There is not a better product on the market. Buy this, you will not regret it." —K.A.S. Readers also use this to keep their eyeglasses from fogging! Promising review: "I had a cheap, untempered windshield that was awful in the rain. A friend of mine from college recommended Rain-X, and I was shocked at the difference. I applied it with a soft rag and sat there wondering if it was even on properly. I trusted the system and then later that night took my car out for a drive; it rained while I was out, and the difference was instantly noticeable. Before, when using my wipers, streaks would obscure my view so much that any lights would make driving in the rain hard. Now, the droplets don't smear, and smaller ones sometimes just roll off. It's pretty great." —Alison J. Gong BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord uses this on the reg: "FWIW re: scars, this stuff really works. I had thyroid surgery a few years ago, and Bio-Oil took me from looking like I'd stumbled out of the Red Wedding to virtually no detectable scar within a few months. All I did was apply it once in the morning and once at night." Promising review: "Acne scars? Read this. I found out about this product while scrolling through TikTok last week. It came highly recommended, so I decided to look up the price on Amazon. After reading several reviews, I figured I might as well try it out. Today is the fourth day I've used the product on my face. My skin looks dewy and nice. The discoloration on my cheeks from a few years old acne scars is improving. My skin looks younger — it’s hard to describe, but I can see a difference. It looks less rough. I’ve been using it morning and night." —Yasmin Rodriguez Get it from Amazon for $11.12+ (available in three sizes). Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small skincare brand creating products for our most sensitive areas. Promising review: "I've bought this product numerous times and it never fails. I have no more ingrowns and it also helps so much with irritation after shaving!" —Pris Get it from Amazon for $26 or direct from Bushbalm for $28. The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately — but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, and I took the photos above to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds. Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors). The after pic (above) was taken after about six weeks of use! A little goes a long way, so one bottle can last you a long time. Promising review: "The product is a game changer for me. I would have dry creases under my eyes no matter how much primer or expensive foundation I used. I use this in the a.m. and p.m. and it has made a 100% difference. I was at the doctor’s waiting room and was chatting with a woman and I mentioned I was going to be 53 in two weeks. She was shocked and said she thought I was 35, saying I had barely had any wrinkles. It made my day!" —Angela Kilburn Get it from Amazon for $14.39+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack). Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic. 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 [don't love] the way it smells but others love it when they smell my hair." —Diane J. Huff Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in six scents, four sizes, and multipacks). Promising reviews: "My stainless sink had streaks on it from using an ultra strong cleaner. It left a dark shading that I thought was permanent. I’ve tried scrubs, polishers, natural home remedies from online, just about everything. I read about this sink cleaner from an online best products on Amazon blog. I figured, I’ve tried everything else so I bought it. IT WORKED!!! I’m thrilled with this cleaner and it brought the finish back on my stainless steel sink. Highly recommend this product!!" —loriregin "I have a ceramic sink, but the drain was old and blackened from years of use. This product cleaned it up and shined the old drain. I had tried everything else but to no avail. Whatever is in this is just what you need for old sink metals." —BonLynLee Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in multiple sizes and packs). BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis swears by this spray. Check out her Foot Matters Shoe Stretch spray review for more deets! BTW, Foot Matters is a small business that specializes in shoe-stretching products. Promising reviews: "My sandals were awfully tight on the top of my feet. I tried everything before finally finding this spray. Nothing helped, there was no relief. Then I tried this spray, and it moved heaven and earth, and now my sandals are perfect!" —Swissharpist "I injured my foot a few months back, and most of my shoes don't fit. I've tried stretchers, hair dryer, wearing multiple socks — everything. I bought this stuff, and within a half hour, my problems were solved. Try this method first." —Susan Olson And psst — as much as we love I Dew Care's powder shampoo, this is a more budget-friendly option, offering twice the amount of product for a fraction of the price. Promising review: "Best dry shampoo I've ever used. Love this product! You can pat on how much you want, rub it in, and it absorbs all oils as it should. No white residue leftover and I have dark brown hair. My hair is still soft and flowy, it's not hard or crunchy like Monday dry shampoo makes my hair feel. Love this lil' thing so much!!" —Sugar Magnolia Get it from Amazon for $9.88 (also available in a two-pack). Promising review: "I had a wart on my finger that I had been trying to get rid of for a while. I used all different kinds of freezing medicines and wart removers and ended up with this as a last resort before going to a doctor. These had my wart come off my finger within a week — no pain, literally just came off when I decided to change my bandage. Amazing!!" —K Pic Promising review: "I have a white tile floor and I was pretty sure the grout was white also, but it was hard to tell since it was so dirty. I had tried many different methods to clean the grout, with limited or no success, so I gave this product a whirl, and was very pleased with the results. Essentially, you squeeze the bottle, aiming for the grout lines, but in reality, it's a little hard to control, but eventually finds its way to the recessed grout lines, and then let it sit. I let mine sit for 10 minutes. You then need to use a scrub brush to 'agitate' the solution, and it lifted up an amazing amount of grime. You have to wipe up the dirty solution, which sometimes gets into the grout again, so a second application may be needed depending on how dirty your grout is. I have a 6'x6' tiled area on my bathroom floor, so it's a small area, and ended up using about half of the bottle, so this is fairly expensive, but in my opinion, it's well worth the expense because it's the only thing that's worked." —Joseph Canas Get it from Amazon for $21.95 (also available in a bundle with a brush). Promising review: "This product works!! High quality material, well made, easy to clean, corrosion resistant, at least in my experience. I can tell this will last a long time. And, it works!!!! Got rid of a coating on my tongue that other tongue scrapers and the tongue cleaners on toothbrushes did nothing for!! Noticed it got a lot off the first use!!! My tongue looks healthy, and my throat feels better. Once a thicker layer starts on the tongue due to postnasal drip there's nothing else that got rid of it. It's easy to hold, and doesn't gag me at all. It comes with a travel case, which I love because I don't want anything that goes in my mouth loose in a bag." —Saffire Dragon Get a single pack with a travel case from Amazon for $5.49 (available in other packs). The Bissell Little Green machine offers strong spray and suction to remove tough pet stains with ease. It has a 48-ounce tank that allows you to do plenty of cleaning before a refill is needed. It comes with a three-inch tough stain tool, a HydroRinse self-cleaning hose tool, and a trial-size of Spot & Stain with Febreze Freshness formula. Promising review: "Two months ago we got a 6-month-old puppy who has needed some time to get adjusted. That included more than a few accidents in our living room and on his bed. This machine has made cleanup of everything so much simpler and I love that it's deep cleaning and has a nontoxic pet cleaner so that our not-so-little puppy isn't harmed through exposure or smells. Also helpful since my teenage sons like to camp out on the couch with their friends on long weekends and our couch gets that fresh clean smell in an hour." —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $89.99+ (available in four styles). Simply fill your dirty mug with water, add a tablet, let it fizz for 15–30 minutes, and then give it a thorough rinsing before drinking from it! Promising review: "Saw this on BuzzFeed, had to give it a try. Used it on our stainless steel coffee carafe that I have been trying to get clean for two years. The coffee stains inside just would not come out, no matter how much vinegar, dish detergent, or scrubbing I did. Until today!! Hot water and tablet in, let it sit for three hours, and UNBELIEVABLE. Where has this Bottle Bright been all my life?? I can’t wait to use it on all my travel coffee mugs. Can you please make tablets for all my cleaning needs?! This was about the easiest thing I have ever done. Love it. Highly recommend!" —Someone Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $10 (also available in 36- and 72-packs). Check out our Bottle Bright tablets deep dive for more incredible before-and-after pics. 👀 The kit comes with two cans of cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush. Promising review: "Unbelievable results. This product surpassed our expectations. We were skeptical because it did not seem like enough paint. Wow, we did two coats and still have half a can left. We did prep the whole kitchen with tape and contractor protection paper. First coat went on very fast and I couldn't figure out the amount to apply, but after the first cabinet it became clear that it did not cover like the first coat of paint. It was thin like satin. When we applied the second coat, oh my gosh, it was just beautiful. We did take the doors off and painted them separately in the basement. We did no sanding, no top coat, because you do not need it. We did label the doors, which made the installation back easier. Would purchase this product again. Our neighbors cannot believe that we did the painting ourselves, because it looks professional. Transformation of our kitchen is priceless. Buy buy buy the product." —Brad Isley Get it from Amazon for $55.01+ (available in 11 colors and in quart sizes). I finally tried out this tool with my Crave Naturals brush, which I used for (*checks Amazon order history*) TWO YEARS without ever doing a deep clean of it. I mean, sure, I would regularly pull out the loose hair and whatever I could get to using my fingers, but there was always this gross layer at the bottom I couldn't reach, and I kind of just tried my best to pretend it wasn't there. LET ME TELL YOU: This tool is genius. With barely any effort, it pulled out that gross, years-old layer of *stuff* at the bottom of my brush (the photo above shows that layer already ~dislodged~ by the tool, right before I pulled it out), and now I don't have to feel disgusting every time I run it through my hair. It actually feels like it's doing a better job of *brushing* now too! Seriously, if you are a human with brushable hair on your head, you need this. Note: It's worth giving your hair brush a good rinse with soap after that layer of hair and lint is pulled away! I didn't find it was necessary to soak my brush before using the tool. Promising review: "This product is amazing. I've always had acrylic or dipped nails because my real nails have always been brittle and always break and peel. I decided to give my nails a break and wanted to try and grow them out. I can't even believe the outcome! They are stronger than ever and growing! I really wish I had taken a before pic to show the difference!" —JOE D. Carpet messes are undoubtedly the worst to clean up, but you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for noncarpet use. Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let it dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona mia Get a 32-ounce bottle from Amazon for $23.92+ (available in two scents and a gallon size). Promising review: "It will take one look from your friends to say 'Did you buy some new wheels?' This stuff is absolutely amazing. For the full effect, dismount your wheel, spray the back. Go do something for 10 minutes. Wash with water, no scrubbing needed. Turn the rim face up, do it again. Do the rest of your rims, and don't forget the tire protectant when you reinstall them. This stuff will handle salt, road tar, off-road dirt and mud — you get it dirty, it comes clean. Where was this stuff when I was racing off-road?" —johnfcon Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes). It features 18K gold-plated heads to contour every curve on your leg. Reviewers with disabilities or injuries also say it makes it way easier to get the job done! BTW, this is solely for use on legs — do NOT use under your arms! Promising review: "LOVE IT! This is now my favorite hair remover. It's so easy and comfortable to use, leaving my legs soft and smooth from top to bottom. There was no discomfort or irritation at all. Smoothly gliding around/over ankles, back of the knees, and blind curves. I have found using this is actually a relaxing experience." —Jez Psst — BuzzFeed Shopping editor Samantha Wieder is also a huge fan of the Finishing Touch eyebrow hair remover, and they make a tool for general facial hair removal too! This no-rinse, non-foaming toothpaste comes in a poultry flavor dogs will love. For best results, it's recommended to brush their teeth at least 2–3 times per week. Promising reviews: "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's toothbrushes at first to help her gums adjust and now use an actual dog toothbrush." —Paisley "I thought I would never be able to remove the tartar on my dog’s teeth unless I go to the vet. But after brushing her teeth for 2–3 weeks, the thick and hard tartar began to fall off. The result is unbelievable." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $6.51+ (available in two sizes). You can get a pet-friendly toothbrush for $7.99! Promising reviews: "This is the best stuff for floppy-eared dogs. My beagle has so many issues with her ears getting inflamed. Just a few drops of this and they are perfect again. She even sits down and turns her ear up for me to drop in. She knows they help her. They clean and protect her ears. My vet even said these are the best drops for her. I totally recommend them. I never want my fur baby to hurt and was so wary to use. It is a clear gel and when applied, it seems to work for a long while." —Debbie J Manning Promising review: "TikTok made me get it. I have a few favorite sweaters and was super upset when these little lint balls started popping up. I was looking for ways to remove them and stumbled upon this fabric shaver and my life has been changed! I absolutely LOVE it. 100/10." —Ruth Get it from Amazon for $8.53+ (available in two colors). Read more about tea tree oil and acne at Mayo Clinic. Promising review: "This kicked my buttne's a#$. I will say that I paired this with an antibacterial body wash (which I recommend if you have folliculitis) Background real quick: My skin is pretty sensitive and I work out 5 days a week. A bad combo for your skin, especially if you have folliculitis. Everything irritated my skin: sitting down, wearing the wrong underwear, shaving my bikini line even got irritated the next day. Summer time was always the worst. The extra sweat really clogs your pores. I have been using this for a week and a half. It did get worse for the first 3 -4 days and then all of sudden it cleared up like the sun coming out after a hard rain. I like the smell of the lotion, personally I think its a mild smell. It dries fast and doesn't stick to your clothes. I put this on in the morning and in the evening. You don't need much. Your skin is left feeling very smooth. If you have buttne, give this a try — you will not be disappointed." —Dani Dawson Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (also available in a two-pack and bundles). Humble Suds is a small business based in Evergreen, Colorado, and run by moms Holli and Jennifer. My former colleague Danielle Healy swears by this stuff: "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." —littleashleyshortcak Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes). To use, you just apply a thin layer twice a day (morning and night) to the affected area and under the edge of the nail for a week — after that, switching to applying once per day at night. Promising review: “I tried EVERYTHING! I tried tree tea oil for years and various different products. Nothing worked. The reviews were so great on this that I decided to try to cure it one more time. But when you have had a condition for 35 years, you aren’t too hopeful! I followed the suggestions of some of the reviewers and cut my toenails (I only had it on my big toes) everywhere that the fungus was present. Even below the quick. I started applying this gel, which is super easy to use. I swear to you that I noticed a difference after one application.” —WIAPilot Promising review: "I spray this on my cats' brushes and they both love it. It really picks up the dander from my one cat and helps a lot with any hotspots he has. There's marked improvement in both of their coats, definitely worth the purchase. I’m glad I bought two bottles." —doink Get it from Amazon for $7.48 (also available as wipes). Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has 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." Get the starter pack from Amazon for $17.50 (includes a full spray bottle and three refills; available in other packs and in three scents). The above before and after shows paint removed from the side of a van — simply by wetting a Magic Eraser and scrubbing the area. Promising reviews: "First-time homeowner. We expected to do deep cleaning BUT THIS is just a small fraction of how filthy the cabinets were! I will forever live and advocate in favor of Mr. Clean Magic Eraser! Along with lots and lots of wood cleaner!" —LesTap "A gentleman who saw the paint on my van recommended this. And holy cow it actually removed the paint off my van. I was skeptical at first because I tried other things and it didn't work. But only with one Magic Eraser it came out! Simple instructions just wetting it, squeezing it, and scrubbing the area. I'm super happy and it looks like nothing ever happened! Totally with the money!" —Keiry Get a pack of six from Amazon for $5.38 (also available in a 36-pack). Promising review: "OK, here is the first review in my life, as I usually can't be bothered. This product shocked me and deserves to be famous. It completely blew my mind. I have no idea what kind of magic is in this bottle but I have tried literally everything to remove the hard water drops/film/residue from our glass shower door. I'm talking hard, white texture that you cannot scratch off at all! For two years. I came across this, ordered, put some on a sponge, drew a square to test it out, a couple of minutes later rubbed it slightly and ran outside screaming for hubby to come see the miracle of the glossy again, see-through shower door! Seriously unbelievable!" —Potomac Palms Get it from Amazon for $15.77+ (available in three sizes). FryAway is a woman-owned and Latine-owned small business started by Laura Lady, who loves both cooking and being kind to the planet. They donate 1% of revenue to nonprofits focused on water conservation. Promising review: "This is a must-have for anyone who fries. We rarely deep fry, but having to get rid of the oil is always a pain. This product makes disposal SO much easier and less of a headache. No need to worry about spills or greasy containers. Pop it into the hot oil (with burner off), and let it sit. Once it’s solid, scrape it into the trash can. Done. Seriously GREAT." —Michael Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three styles and in larger pack sizes). That leather recoloring balm is no joke!
