Read More All the grime in your kitchen is shaaaaking at the idea of this new squeezable version of The Pink Stuff. As a Senior Shopping Writer at BuzzFeed, I specialize in a broad range of topics, including beauty, cleaning, fashion, personal care, home, fitness, and my beloved “TikTok made me buy it.” My work has been featured across lifestyle and writing publications during my ten years in the digital media space, including Bustle, HuffPost, HelloGiggles, and The Washington Post. Promising review: "This product, my drill, and the flat sponge type cleaning pad were the only thing that worked transforming this very dirty tub into cleaner than clean. Very little muscle power necessary. A little goes a long way. It takes off the worst of things and leaves a kind of ceramic coat behind. It’s amazing." —Glinda Check out a TikTok of the laundry spray in action. Puracy is a Texas-based, family-owned business specializing in plant-based, chemical-free, hypoallergenic home products, with a donation made to local families in need with a portion of every purchase. Psst — this spray also does a number on all those other miscellaneous stains in your life, like wine, coffee, soy sauce, makeup, and period blood! I recently bought this to test it for myself, and can attest to how well it works to get period blood out even after you've tried something else. I stained a pair of beloved bright-blue bike shorts in my sleep and tried to get it out with soap and water, but the stain was still there when it came out of the wash. I treated it with this, stuck it back in the wash, and BOOM, it's like it never happened (I panicked before I could get a before and after, please forgive me, laundry gods). Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in different sizes). 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 Check out a TikTok of the Dawn Powerwash Spray to see it in action! I've lived on my own for a long time now, so even when I've had a dishwasher, it's made more sense to wash individual dishes and put them away. This stuff is SO quick and effective at clearing up grime and burnt and caked-on food (I am an AVID eater of burnt cheese). Now that I'm a mom, I love this stuff even more — Dawn Powerwash is surprisingly great at getting spit-up stains out of furniture and items I can't put in the washing machine (like the mesh on a hand-me-own Snoo!). A lot of parents swear by it for getting poop and food stains out of baby clothes, too. Here's what BuzzFeeder 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 I 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 $8.44. Promising review: "Saved me from buying a new dishwasher! I have to admit that I was skeptical that this product was actually going to do anything. I’ve noticed my dishwasher wasn’t cleaning dishes very well lately, and I did everything I could to get it working properly again, but was ready to finally give up and buy a new dishwasher. I bought these tablets thinking they were designed to eliminate odors, but I was willing to give them a shot before buying a whole new dishwasher. I put one in the bottom of the dishwasher last night per the instructions and woke up to completely clean dishes for the first time in weeks. They look perfect. I don’t know why these tablets work, but they absolutely did, and I am a happy customer!" —B. Turner Angry Orange is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products. Promising review: "I love love love this product! This is a game changer for me! Since I've been using this, my friends and family have commented on not being able to smell dog urine in my house! I sprayed this in my son's bedroom and let it sit while I got my shampooer ready! It's been three weeks since I shampooed his room, and I haven't smelled urine even once!" —Jennette MIles Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four sizes). Promising review: "Job well done! If you struggle with frequent drain clogs like I do, I highly recommend this product. It’s easy to use, effective, and a great value for the price. The hook design lets me reach deep into the drain and pull out a surprising amount of hair and debris." —Rose Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in two lengths). Promising review: "This was the perfect solution for a busy mom like myself. I have three little ones, and every day there is a mess of some sort in the backseat. It saves time and money to not have to go to a carwash place and keep feeding the machine. It’s simple to use and a great size. Wish the suction was a little better, but for the price and quality, I can’t complain. It’s a must!" —Amazon Customer "TikTok made me buy it. I NEVER leave reviews buttt I was surprised at how well and powerful this vacuum was! And it wasn’t loud. 10 out of 10 recommended. Go buy it and try it for yourself." —Jessica D. Williams Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in two styles). Promising review: "Works great! I saw a video for this product on TikTok, and knew that I needed it in my life. I love it, and it helps keep my new car looking clean and new!" —Alison Crawford Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in two scents and two sizes). Turbo Mops is a small business that specializes in eco-friendly cleaning products. Promising review: "If you have a Swiffer Wet Jet and are tired of having to buy those mop pads, I would 10000x recommend these. All you do is stick it to the bottom of your mop like you would a mop pad and mop like normal. It stays on great and even picks up crumbs better than the store-bought mop pads. Once you’re done, you just throw it in the wash, and it’s good as new. I’m not sure if you’re supposed to dry them, but I do, and they come out just fine! I love these!!" —Kate Get a two-pack from Amazon for $13.99 (available in multipacks). Psst — if you don't already have one, you can get a standard Swiffer on Amazon for $18.50! Promising review: "I have tiles that the builder put down. As you can imagine, they are not the best quality and feel porous. Everything shows on the floor, but this cleaner truly makes a difference. It goes deep into the tile and grout and leaves it super clean without much effort. Truly effective. The floor looks super clean and shiny after using it. It comes well-packed, so there is no leakage. Best floor cleaner in my opinion. A little goes a long way." —Michelle O Get a set of two from Amazon for $14.61. Powerstone Pumice is a small business that specializes in home cleaning products. Promising review: "I have never been so happy about a purchase before, and this did it! We went away for a week and came back home and saw stains in all of the toilet bowls. I researched, and it’s from hard water or something like that. I’m so glad I [tried this] because this saved me so much money and time on finding a solution that works miracles. I didn’t even need to scrub hard. Just rubbed it on the stains a couple of times, and I was done in less than five minutes for each bowl. I highly recommend this product!" —Selina B Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (also available in a pack of two and four). Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action! Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Janet Bottle Bright is a small business that specializes in effortless bottle cleaning products. Promising review: "Saw this on TikTok and gave it a try. May I say the results were golden! My husband uses the same Yeti everyday for coffee and the inside was stained pretty bad. I put this tablet in, gave it a wash and it looks brand new!!!!!!! Also took away that coffee smell!" —Kelsey Promising review: "I absolutely love this product. I saw it on TikTok and figured I would give it a try. My grandmother passed away almost eight years ago, and she left me her first engagement ring in her will. I have tried so many jewelry cleaners, toothpaste and toothbrush, you name it, tried everything except for sending it away to get cleaned. I ordered the Diamond Dazzle Stik on Thursday, and it arrived the following Saturday, fast shipping! Today is Sunday, and I cleaned my ring with the Diamond Dazzle Stik. My ring is just as shiny as it was when my grandfather bought it for my grandmother many many years ago. I will definitely use this Diamond Dazzle Stik on all my jewelry. Highly recommended!" —Heather Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). Promising review: "This set of shoe washing bags turned out much better than I expected. The material is thick, so the shoes don't move around, and the soft inserts provide a truly deep clean from all sides. I especially liked the self-locking zipper, which prevents anything from opening during the wash cycle or getting tangled with other items. I tried washing sneakers and lightweight trainers both times. The results were excellent, leaving the shoes looking like new. After drying, the bags retained their shape and looked like new, so they'll definitely last a long time. A great accessory that saves time and takes care of your shoes." —Amazon Customer Get a set of two from Amazon for $19.99 (available in five colors). An embarrassing confession: I do not have a pet, but I shed like nobody's business. My hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it, so I often was just unrooting clumps of hair from the floor with my hands (sorry for the visual). I bought this broom and it immediately started pulling up GOBS of hair. My carpet, like, genuinely changed color (turns out the pink was supposed to be much pinker, whoops). Anyway, do with that semi-horrifying information what you will — you can read my full review of the pet hair broom for more deets. Promising review: "I have two long-haired dogs, and my larger dog (a standard Aussie) sheds a lot. It's a constant hassle to clean up, and it doesn't seem to matter how often we vacuum, there's always more hair. I saw this product on TikTok and thought it might be worth a try to get up more hair from our carpets. It worked really well. I personally found the 'squeegee' side worked best on the carpet, but the brush side worked well on the tile." —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $15.99 (available in multiple styles). Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! Promising review: "I wish I had taken photos since I was amazed at the results, honestly. I bought my car about a year ago, and it had stains all over the seats — I didn’t want to pay $300+ for them to be cleaned since I’m a college student, so I just waited. My sister saw a TikTok video or something about this machine, and while I was doubtful that it would work since some of these stains have been there for who knows how long, I finally bought it cause I spilt a blue slushee over my car seats. Lo and behold, I now have a car with no stains whatsoever! I wish I had gotten it sooner!! I wish I had taken before and after pics, but I’ll try and upload some of how it looks now at some point! But 15/10 recommend!!" —jovana montoya Promising review: "I was surprised at how well this worked to clean my shower. In the past, I’ve used a homemade baking soda paste mixture to scrub my bath and shower, but I was excited to see that just spraying this tub and tile cleaner helped loosen the dirt so that it just wiped right off!! Yay! Saves me time and scrubbing energy :)." —Grover Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I’ve used others before, but they didn’t last and weren’t as durable! Very easy to use! The perfect size. It reached all the way behind my dryer, and you just slide it across, and it gets everything out from under it! I’ve used it in various areas — the dryer, gaps between the oven, and under the oven. Definitely worth buying!" —L.M. Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99. Check out a TikTok of the "Angry Mama" microwave cleaner in action. Promising review: "This product is so amazing, I'm going to get one for all of my children. I am a teacher, and I let my students use my microwave. Usually it takes me half an hour of scrubbing after 31 students have made popcorn, and heated up lunches. This time I used the product, and I literally spent less than one minute just wiping down the microwave!!! I will now keep one in my classroom, and one at my home. A miracle product that actually does what it says, remarkable!!!" —Desiree Barlow Get it from Amazon for $10.88+ (available in two colors and as a set of two). Promising review: "When you think you don’t need it. But TikTok thinks you do. I definitely am glad that this product was what I need. Works on laptop, tablets, and phones! Love it! Highly recommend this product!" —Laura Schlutt Promising review: "This stuff really is magical! When we moved into our house, the previous owners did a horrible job of cleaning the stainless-steel appliances. There were permanent run marks going down the front that I could not remove....and I tried EVERYTHING. I should note that I’m not actually positive that these appliances are true stainless steel or just manufactured to look like that. I wanted to cry tears of joy after wiping down the dishwasher because I had been looking at those awful run marks for three years, and they were finally gone! The whole tub is worth it for that appliance alone." —MayBae Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $14.98. Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about it: 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: "I first saw this product on TikTok. I was skeptical, as not everything that blows up works as well as they say. But after trying so many different sink cleaners, I was ready to give this a try. I followed the directions exactly on the bottle, and the results were instant. I will not go back to any other cleaner for my sink." —lexidan Promising review: "I didn’t understand how this tool was going to work, but I saw a TikTok where someone used it as part of their everyday cleaning routine, and my curiosity got the best of me! And wow, oh wow, am I glad I did! The area has to be big enough to pull it back and forth, so it’s ideal for couches and beds, and other furniture. It is so easy to empty too, and oh so satisfying to see what you picked up with it! Now I want to try the handheld version for clothing!" —Kindle Customer Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in two colors). Honeyera is a small business that specializes in home storage solutions. Promising review: "Awesome quality, and HUGE! I’ve wasted money on cheaper versions of this, and now I know I won’t go back. Really sturdy, and holds more than you expect. Using it in my sewing room for fabric, interfacing, and batting, and it works like a charm. Going to order another one for my other closets because this inspired me to use it everywhere. Also, the free stickers were a cute bonus!" —Alexis Crumer Get it from Amazon for $30.95+ (available in nine colors). Promising review: "I don't know what it is about these, but putting one down my sink and watching the foamy bubbles come up is SO satisfying. Really scratches an itch that I didn't even realize I had. I read about these in some article about popular products on TikTok and wanted to try them because my garbage disposal had not been smelling super lately. They did not disappoint! Super easy to use and leaves the disposal smelling fresh." —Liz R. Promising review: "After moving into a house owned by older adults, a lot was neglected. Feeling overwhelmed by the hard water left in our shower, I avoided it for months. After watching TikTok, I found this product recommendation, and MY GOD did it change my life. It is SUPER messy, so wear gloves, and it’s easiest to squeeze on a paper towel, apply, and then scrub with a wool scrub after. But once you figure out the flow, boy, does it work!!!" —Alicia 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. Promising review: "So I kept seeing this item on TikTok and thought, 'heck, why not?' I love this item for deep cleaning, whether it's car mats, shoes, or the shower." —A. Givens Psst – 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!). Get it from Amazon for $24.98 (available in six styles). Promising review: "I bought this to wash baby bottles and pump supplies. Good build and does not feel cheap. I like that it is collapsible for storage and it has a drain on the bottom which makes it super convenient to drain after a soak. I can fit a lot in the tub for soaking." —Lacey D. Here's what BuzzFeeder Maitland Quitmeyer has to say about them: "I bought a pack of these and love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!" Promising review: "I saw these on the good ol' TikTok, and I was blown away by how much dirt it took off the baseboards. As a cleaner, mopping doesn't just do the trick sometimes, and I catch myself on my hands and knees wiping a majority of it away. These sponges come in a pack of four. They are already pre-wet, but they just feel cold to the touch. I ran one along a baseboard, and in less than a second, it took off more than my mop. These are easy to clean, and they dry really fast, so you can reuse them again and again." —smoresgalore Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in six color packs, including my beloved pink). Promising review: "If it were possible to give 10 stars, this product is definitely worth it. I originally bought this in the store and was most impressed with how well it cleaned the refrigerator from all fingerprints and watermarks. My friend came over and said, 'What in the world did you clean your refrigerator with because it looks brand new?!' It is the best product I have ever used on my refrigerator and stove! Just wipe down and let it sink in, then wipe over with a clean, soft towel for a polished, shiny look! IT IS MARVELOUS! I SAY MARVELOUS! Don't bother with sprays! I bought two containers so that I will not run out for a long time!" —Roie Instant Power is a small business that specializes in plumbing and cleaning products. Promising review: "I was wondering why I had to clean my toilet bowl so much; it always had discolored water, even though I don't use well water. I was doing my daily BuzzFeed/TikTok crawl and saw this stuff on one of the recommended pages. Well, turns out I had a super gross toilet tank hahaha, should've figured since the toilet itself is 20+ years old (I rent, okay‽). Anyway, this stuff really works! And super easy too, I just poured about half the bottle into the tank and stirred a little bit to mix it up before bed. The next morning, when I flushed, you wouldn't believe how clean the back was; it was like day and night! And it smelled nice too! So much different than the old rusty water smell I've unfortunately grown used to." —Amanda Promising review: "Excellent, sturdy broom which sweeps nicely. The unit stays standing up without a lot of effort; it just has to be balanced properly. I like the little thingies on the dustpan that clean off the broom. Also, when sweeping into it, you don't have to hold the dustpan, plus it is easy to empty because the dustpan doesn't flop around. I feel somewhat silly saying it, but it is a pleasure to sweep. I'm going to buy a few as gifts to some friends because I like it so much." —DonnaMarie13 Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in seven colors). Promising review: "I hate to clean blinds. I've tried every method you could imagine, but none really did a good job. While looking at the internet for something to make the job easier, I found the Hiware window blind cleaner duster brush. The price was more than affordable, so I thought I would give it a shot. This little device is genius, and the microfiber sleeves are so easy to throw in the washer to get ready for the next time." —Northwest Gal * If You Missed Spring Cleaning, These 33 Products Will Help You Make Summer Cleaning A Thing * Cleaning Products That Work So Well, I Bet You'll Keep Using Them Forever * Just 39 Terrifyingly Good Before And Afters Of Cleaning Products Doing The Dang Thing * Cleaning And Organization Products That’ll Keep You In Your Roommates’ Good Graces * Products With Downright Shocking Result Photos That’ll Motivate You To Finally Clean Your House * These 27 Cleaning Products Will Have You Wondering If Magic *Does* Exist BuzzFeed Shopping is service journalism first: our writers and editors spend all day shopping so you don’t have to, vetting products, fact-checking brand claims, and surfacing what actually helps in real life.
