1. A hydrating intense-therapy lip balm if your mummified lips need some sweet relief. In addition to repairing dry, cracked lips, it also helps provide ongoing protection from the elements!
Promising review: "I have suffered with chronic dry cracking lips for over 20 years. I have tried everything on the market and nothing has worked. Sometimes I would have to apply balm every hour to find some relief. This product has cured my dry lips after two days of use!!! I have been using this balm for two weeks now. I apply 2–3 times per day." —JSal

Promising review: "This is amazing! I went from super brittle nails that I could never grow out. I had acrylic nails for two years and I wanted a break; they were so thin and damaged from the acrylics. Now only after a few weeks my nails are completely healed and grown and will not break! I wish I found this sooner, I wouldn’t have wasted my time and money on nail maintenance! Try it!" —Chelsea Lauren Hill
Get it from Amazon for $7.94Â (also available in packs of two or three).
4. An ear treatment to eliminate the gunk that's been causing irritation and inflammation for your pet. It also protects against scary fungal and bacterial infections, like yeast and staph infections.
Promising review: "Saved a ton of money for vet bills. This stuff works fantastic and my cat actually doesn't mind getting the drops. I followed the instructions and they did exactly as they said. After reading the reviews, I was sort of convinced but now I won't get anything else. Totally worth the money." —Debbie M
Get it from Amazon for $23.79+Â (available in three sizes).
5. A pumice cleaning stone so you can power through years of rust, lime, and calcium buildup. It's nontoxic and has ZERO mercy on dirt, but it's still gentle enough to use on your toilet. Your porcelain throne will be shining bright again in no time!Â
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: "Will definitely buy again. Almost 30 years of hard-water buildup of green, and I tried everything for years to remove the green stain. This product rocks. It takes a little elbow grease but sure is worth it. Just don't use it on surfaces that will scratch. In my case, the fiberglass tub aggravates and is hard to clean. After 30 years, I scrubbed away and didn't regret it one bit, and the tub looks almost new." —Debra L.
Get it from Amazon for $13.99Â (also available in packs of two or four).

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

7. K-Cup cleaning pods when you're ready to face the mysterious buildup brewing inside your coffee maker. You'll be grossed out by these results, but at least it'll be gone for good.
Promising review: "OK, 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 2.0 and I had no issues." —Mads0421
Get a pack of six from Amazon for $9.95Â (also available in packs of 12 or 18).
8. A ChomChom pet hair remover for pet parents who love their fur babies but not the awful hair problem. You'll be mystified by how quickly this gets rid of the hair that loves to cling to your furniture! Simply roll it back and forth on the area, then empty the compartment when you're done.
Promising review: "I have three indoor cats, two of them seniors and they have really started shedding terribly. I own no less than a dozen different pet hair/lint removal gadgets and not ONE of them even approaches the effectiveness of this product. Normally, I time my pet hair removal sessions to right before I shower because I am dripping sweat after half an hour of grueling work. I just removed every trace of pet hair from my sofa in less than five minutes and I didn't even break a sweat. As I stood back and examined my sofa, I did not believe it had actually removed the hair but had probably pushed it around somewhere less visible. I popped the button that opens the hair collection compartment on the roller, and THE HAIR WAS IN THERE. WHAT?!!?! It actually took the hair off of my sofa and put it in the compartment!! Literally, I almost cried. I am considering having guests over into my home again...going out to make some friends right now!" —A.W.
Get it from Amazon for $27.99Â (available in two colors).
9. Wet & Forget shower cleaner to help get your nightmare of a shower ✨sparkling✨ clean *and* mildew-free. All you have to do is spray it once a week, let it sit, and rinse it clean. No scrubbing or wiping here.
Promising review: "This may be the best thing I have ever bought off of Amazon. And I buy quite a bit. This was something I needed and didn't even know it! Long story short, the tub in my kids' bathroom was atrocious, due to spotty cleaning and hard water. I bought this with a heavy dose of skepticism, even though the reviews were mighty impressive. On the back of the bottle, it says that you may need several daily applications before your tub is clean, and then you can switch to weekly application. I'm on day three, and let me say, even if this stuff worked no further, I AM BLOWN AWAY. The shower looks close to new. A couple more days, and I'll be able to switch to weekly! I won't post pictures because I'm embarrassed by how bad it looked before. But seriously, I am SO happy to have discovered this product, and I plan to keep on using it." —Tee
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+Â (available in two scents, two sizes, and as a two-pack).

Promising review: "Awesome product! I’ve tried almost every whitening tool/trick and nothing worked like this. Very easy to apply and it has a minty taste. I did only my top teeth just to try it out to see the difference and wow! In three days (using four times a day) I noticed a HUGE difference. I’m amazed and will be using it on my bottom teeth. I honestly can’t believe how fast and well it worked. 10/10 product." —Adrianna Panek
Get it from Amazon for $18.99.
11. Or a "why didn't I try this sooner?" teeth-whitening pen so you can achieve instant results that'll make you a believer. It can banish stains from wine, coffee, tea, etc. It's painless, effective, *and* mint-flavored.
Promising review: "I really didn't realize how well it worked until I took the after picture. Then I felt bad that I had not done this before. Let me start by saying, I did not even do this every day. I am bad about starting something and not finishing it, but I did use the two tubes that I purchased. I plan on purchasing two more so I can get my teeth whiter. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get their teeth whiter." —Sheri Blanchard

This stuff works amazingly well, is easy to use, and allows me to trash oil without a big mess! It just takes a little scoop and a short amount of time for it to set into a gel, and then it all scoops out of the pan so easily! I’m just sad I didn’t find this product sooner!" —TheBjamin

"This portable vacuum is ammmmmazing! I love all of the attachments to get the hard to reach spots! It gets the job done! TikTok made me buy it! If you are on the fence about this one... do it! Hit that buy now button. You will not be disappointed. Never putting quarters in a timed vacuum again. There is never enough time, and you rush around trying to beat the timer. Or is that just me? Haha." —Abigail

14. A bottle of makeup brush-cleaning shampoo because you need to wash away those impurities residing in your applicators immediately. The results might give you goosebumps — in the best way.
This shampoo is hypoallergenic, cruelty-free, and paraben-free.
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this brush shampoo! I was a little skeptical of how well it would clean my brushes since I'd never tried it before, but after using this I am very pleased with the outcome. It has a faint shampoo scent but nothing too overpowering, and suds like you wouldn't believe. It got all the way down to the base of the brush and gave it a really good cleaning. One of my brushes is made from boar hair (Estée Lauder powder brush) and I was worried it was going to frizz it out and ruin the shape, but it actually improved it after I had previously used baby shampoo. It's very soft and not at all coarse feeling. I also used this shampoo on my Beauty Blender, and it did a great job getting all the foundation out. All in all, I'd rate this product a 10/10!" —Ryan Brooks
Get it from Amazon for $6.96Â (also available as a two-pack).

With this paste, it was gone within less than a minute. I immediately tried it on my stove — omg, I'm in love. It’s a purchase I don’t regret at all. Will be buying it again. This stuff has helped me remove stains that I wasn’t able to clean with anything." —Happy customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.29Â (available in two sizes and bundles).

Now I can stack my lids in the organizer and my storage containers fit nicely on the shelf, and I have a lot of storage containers. I would definitely buy this again and again. Great product." —Laura

The puffiness under my eyes was substantially reduced and my skin felt much softer and moisturized. They're a great addition to your self-care." —janiem

23. A life-changing foot file — it'll help repair dry, cracked feet without a trip to the nail salon. Gently rub it on your feet and watch the crust literally vanish before your eyes.
Promising review: "I was BLOWN AWAY by this product! I have dealt with calloused, cracked heels for as long as I can remember. Some things have worked better than others in the past, but I’ve been in a rut of bad feet for the past several months. The foot rasp/file/scraper that I had was not even coming close to doing the job, and it is a similar style to this one, so I wasn’t getting my hopes up for this one. Based on the reviews and before/after pics, I had to give it a shot though! I gave it a go before getting in the shower and was just so impressed with how easy to use it was and how incredibly it worked. It took less than 15 minutes between both feet and VERY LITTLE pressure/effort was required. This $11 product gave me better results than most professional pedicures I’ve had!" —Halk
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. OR! A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel when the thought of repeatedly scrubbing or filing your feet gives you the willies. This will get you mesmerizing results without paying for an uncomfy visit to your manicurist.

Promising review: "The dogs love this stuff. The picture attached is only after two weeks of use (brushing two times a day). The dogs love the flavor and actually think of tooth brushing as a treat now. I also put it in a chew toy for them to chew on to help brush their own teeth. We used children toothbrushes at first to help her gums adjust and now use an actual dog toothbrush." —Paisley
Get it from Amazon for $10.03.
26. A stainless-steel tongue scraper to give your mouth the royal treatment while conquering killer breath. Plus, it'll leave your mouth with a fresh clean feeling — no one will offer you an unsolicited stick of gum anytime soon!
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

28. Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray because despite their meticulous self-cleaning habits, sometimes cats need help with their coats! It contains aloe vera and oatmeal that targets dry skin, redness, and dander.
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

29. A jetted tub cleaner — no one wants to bathe in a tub with filthy jets that can be traced back to... who knows how many previous owners *shudder*. Add some to the running water, fire up the jets, and watch in pure awe as you get rid of the filth in one fell swoop.

30. Mighty Patches, which are truly ~tiny but mighty~ with the power to pull gunk out of zits. Put one on at bedtime and behold the grossness (but also amazingness) when you wake up.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Amanda Davis tried these and says: "I've tried various (countless 😅) pimple patches in the past and The Mighty Patch definitely takes the cake. I stick it on and honestly forget that it's even there. The adhesive is strong, so it stays on during my tossing and turning at night, but I often wear it during the day, too! I work from home, and it's not noticeable during my video calls which I truly, truly appreciate. I begin seeing the gunk from my zits after 2–3 hours of having it covered, but I leave it on for at least the full six. When it's removed, it's like the healing time was sped up and what would've taken a couple of days took just HOURS."

Promising review: "These little patches are a miracle worker. When I feel a pimple coming on, I slap one of these on and leave it on overnight and the next day it's gone before it's even started. Also have used them on full-blown breakouts and it shortens the healing time. A must-have." —Chris C.

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.

35. A hairbrush cleaning tool capable of removing all the loose hair and product buildup that has accumulated in your brush. Try not to drop your jaw on the floor as you watch the dust, fluff, and strands of hair disappear.
The reviewer above got such amazing results by using this tool along with soaking their brush in a Dawn-and-diluted-vinegar solution!
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

38. An antifungal tea tree balm that can treat just about any persistent skin condition you've been battling. Whether it's ringworm, athlete's foot, jock itch, or plain old dry skin, this stuff is basically a miracle in a jar!
Promising review: "I ordered this balm on a whim as a remedy for a skin rash, and was very impressed with its effectiveness! After getting rid of my rash, I decided to try it elsewhere and it worked wonders on dry skin areas like elbows, knees, and feet. I was blown away by how I changed my feet entirely! As a dancer, my feet have always been a war zone: dry skin, callouses, ingrown toenails, and athlete's foot (all frequent problems over the course of many years). I was always embarrassed to wear sandals or any type of shoes that would show off parts of my feet because of all the dry skin, but sometimes it couldn't be avoided. This balm has made my feet the loveliest they have been and now I can choose any type of shoes I want to wear without embarrassment." —anengstrom

39. A stain and odor eliminator so you'll be armed and ready to handle any accidents as soon as they happen! You can use it on many surfaces, including carpet, furniture, floors, and clothing. The results speak for themselves — you gotta try this stuff.
This stain and odor eliminator spray uses a chlorine-free and color-safe formula that is safe to use around pets and children. The natural enzymes in this product are activated on contact, which allows it to feed on ammonia crystals and organic matter until they're completely eliminated.
Promising review: "I don’t leave reviews, EVER! BUT this product is hands down worth every penny. I’m amazed, it’s magic. The dog urine smell from our kitchen tile grout was driving me [wild], to the point I was convincing my husband to buy me new flooring. I thought I would try this before dropping thousands on that idea. I’m glad I did! This stuff smells so damn good and the next day, I didn’t smell any urine anymore. Super thankful for this product, it’s my new go-to!" —Ashlee

Promising review: "This Waterpik does an outstanding job, and I can see the difference in my teeth and gums after a few days' use. It is good for cleaning between the teeth where the toothbrush misses. If you get this, follow the directions. Money well spent." —Roy

Promising reviews: "I have had dry scalp issues for years. This cleared it up in three to four washes when using the complete set. Couldn't recommend more!" —Lauren C.
"I get really bad dry patches on certain areas of my scalp. I’ve tried all sorts of products for years and nothing has made a dent until I started adding Briogeo Scalp Revival products to my routine. Specifically, this scrub has done wonders and practically eliminated the problem even in this much drier winter weather. I can’t go many days without washing my hair and I use this product about once, sometimes twice, a week." —Jennifer T.

42. A microwave cleaner when you're looong overdue to clean out the nasty gunk living in your appliance. Fill it with water and a hint of vinegar, then pop it in the microwave. It'll loosen all that caked-on grime so fast, you'll question why you waited so long to try it.
Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran this one time, wiped it down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed [and] really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey
Get it from Amazon for $8.99 (available in four colors).
43. An all-natural scour paste for tidying basically any dirty surface in your home that's been giving you grief. You know those random areas you didn't even realize needed cleaning? Yup, this paste has you covered.
Humble Suds is a small business based in Evergreen, Colorado, and run by moms Holli and Jennifer.
My colleague Danielle Healy swears by this stuff. In her own words: "I recently moved into a new apartment, so lately I've been cleaning A LOT. Shortly after moving in, my partner and I went to store something on the top of the kitchen cabinets only to find them caked in a thick layer of grime 🤢 After going at it with regular multipurpose cleaner (with little success), we broke out the scour paste as a last-ditch effort and OH BOY did this miracle product deliver (pics above). If it can handle that grossness, it's going to have no problem with day-to-day messes like soap scum and burnt-on food. Plus, it smells delightful and comes in minimal, low-waste packaging!"
Promising review: "Buyer beware: don’t buy just one!! Learn from my mistake, and buy at least two jars because this stuff is INCREDIBLE. I used it on my textured shower floor. It was EASIER to clean and required less scrubbing than any other product I’ve used, including CLR. If you have black matte bathroom fixtures, this is the stuff you need. My shower and sink drains look brand new. My other favorite part about this scour paste, is the fact that I don’t need to use any paper towels. Just a wet rag to wipe it all down at the end. I will be buying more jars for myself and to give to my friends because this stuff is absolutely amazing. You won’t regret it!" —littleashleyshortcak
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $13.56+ (originally $15.95; available in two sizes).
44. A bottle of wood polish and conditioner if you were about to give up on restoring that sacred antique and slather it in a coat of paint — try this first! It's made with beeswax that'll rejuvenate your sad furniture, doors, and more.
Promising review: "I have no regrets with this. I have a bunch of antique wood furniture. I have three particular tables that really need some love, especially in the wintertime and, up until this point, I was using some oil stuff that worked. For a minute. So I saw this and was like, I guess it seems legit. Over the weekend, I went after those tables with this stuff, and so far it's outlasted my oil by a long shot. I didn't do any special prep of the tables and just kind of went for it. I didn't glove up, so I did get messy. And if you're a train wreck like me; you'll want to wear old clothes while doing this, but I was happy that I could get this off my hands with just some normal hand soap. I let it sit and soak up for the advised time and came back through and buffed it. The pieces have never looked so good since I've had them." —Kid
