AmazonRave reviewer Marianne R. Fezza said, "Buy this NOW! My husband and I absolutely love this little cleaner. We have used it to clean our cars, mattresses, upholstered chairs, area rugs, and our couch. It works great and is so convenient for almost everything. Easy to clean, easy to move. I did use this on our carpet to compare it to my larger carpet cleaner, and it did NOT clean as well as my larger cleaner did. It is excellent for spot cleaning, though."

6. If you're not afraid of getting a little squeamish, this foot peel mask is bound to work wonders on your feet. The mask aids in the removal of dead skin over the course of five to seven days, resulting in smoother-looking feet.
AmazonOverwhelmed reviewer JeepGirl78 shared, "Oh my gosh, can I just say I am COMPLETELY mind blown and AMAZED!!! I've always had super calloused feet because I walk around barefoot often, or without socks. Given my history, I figured this product had no hope. But, I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. I'm getting married soon and, well, I'm sure he'd rather feel soft feet than nasty, cracked, calloused feet. So I used the 'mask' this past Monday. It is now Sunday, almost a week to the day later. I've been concerned that I once again wasted money. I was preparing for a second treatment tomorrow. My feet are BAD, so I figured nothing could help me, but all of a sudden, the dead skin is coming off!!! Folks, it's WORKING!!! Even the most awfully calloused feet WILL benefit from this!! Trust me!!"
Grab a two-pack from Amazon for $15.95 (available in three scents and two-, three-, and four-packs).

AmazonPleased reviewer Chen exclaimed, "I never thought I'd be able to clean my grout out again without hiring someone professional to do it! But this cleaner did the wonder!!! I used it with my steam cleaner and here's the before and after pictures! I dry-brushed it before I used the steam cleaner, and I saw all the dirt getting out! It really works! It was hard work though, if I ever get a bigger house, I might just hire someone to do it."
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.

9. Get rid of pesky pet hair on surfaces using this handy, reusable pet hair remover. It's similar to a lint brush – just roll it back and forth on the surface of your choice, and it will effortlessly pick up hair or fur.
AmazonDelighted reviewer Morgan Willis stated, "If I could give this product 6 stars, I would. My husband and I use it almost every day. We have three furry dogs and six fluffy cats, which makes for A LOT of hair. We were using a lint roller before we bought our ChomChom Roller. The lint roller didn't work very well, and had to be replaced. We have had our ChomChom Roller for months, and it still works just as well as it did when we first got it. We can actually invite our friends over now without worrying about all the pet hair."
Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in four colors).

I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! Eww, embarrassing! So I got the freeze off and thought 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the freeze off three times and nothing! I than realized the same thing was happening on my other thumb, a small callus but I knew that the wart had spread! Now I was desperate to get rid of them and knew I had waited too long! Bought the invisible strips and it removed my small wart in four days and my big wart in eight! I couldn't believe it. I left strips on for two days, then pulled back the dead skin with a cuticle clipper, and reapplied! My bigger wart was a bit tougher to remove and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for few days before reapplying strip and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone!"
Get 14 pads from Amazon for $7.29 (also available in packs of 20, 28, and 34).
11. Make those terrifying stains and messes disappear effortlessly with this non-toxic Folex Carpet Spot Remover. No need for rinsing or vacuuming!
AmazonBrittany shared, "I had terrible rust and oil stains all over the seats of my car when I bought it. I tried other cleaners to get it out, but they actually made the stains darker. I took it to the dealership to see if they could get it out and they flat out told me no, so I gave up and lived with it for almost five years. I tried this after it was recommended by a friend. I sprayed it on and literally watched the stain run right off my seat. It was amazing! I thought I was going to have to pay hundreds of dollars to replace the seats in my car because nothing else would work. This stuff really is awesome!"
Get it from Amazon for $6.65.
12. Eliminate soap scum and grime in your shower with minimal effort using this bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray. Just spray and leave it overnight, then wash it away when you shower the next day.
AmazonImpressed reviewer Amazon Customer posted, "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleaner to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on their hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!"
Get it from Amazon for $19.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and with or without a spray nozzle).
13. Treat severe dandruff with this ketoconazole 1% dandruff shampoo. This shampoo will help you control flaking and itching.
AmazonAmazed reviewer chris stated, "MIRACLE PRODUCT! If you have a flaky scalp from dandruff, BUY THIS. I was about to go to the dermatologist if this stuff didn't work. Thank goodness I saved myself hundreds of dollars by giving this product a shot. I used it four or five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely.

On fresh accidents, it works with just one treatment. It removes the stains and, more importantly, it completely removes the odors. On older, setting stains, it completely removes stains and odors after several repeat treatments. I've tried so many products over the years. Hands-down, this is the best."
Get it from Amazon for $19.16 (available in two sizes).
16. Get your dog's teeth squeaky clean with minimal hassle using this liquid tartar remover. Just add it to their water and it'll work like doggy mouthwash. It will reduce plaque and help with bad breath.
AmazonBaconPancakes shared, "My dog's molars were turning black and he had a ton of buildup on his canines, and his gums were beginning to look inflamed. And, of course, his breath could kill a horse. After one week of constant use (a cap full for every bowl of water) you could see an obvious difference in tooth color. I was blown away. (Why can't human mouthwash do such a good job on our teeth?) After three weeks, his molars were almost completely clean. After a couple of months of use, the plaque on his canines was soft enough to brush some of it off, which was totally impossible before."
Get it from Amazon for $10.59 (available in three styles, two sizes, and a formula for cats and dogs).

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Danielle Healy had excellent results with this stuff, which is from a Denver-based Etsy shop specializing in plant-based cleaning products. She writes, "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!"
Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95 (available in two sizes).
18. Remove bacteria and buildup on your tongue with this stainless-steel tongue scraper.
AmazonNick said, "I was a little unsure what to expect. I had never used something like this before, but my girlfriend says my breath stinks, and she deserves better than that. Using this has removed that. Not really sure how it works or why that layer of spit and stuff on your tongue has to smell so bad, but this removes it well and also feels kinda nice. Thank you!"
Get it from Amazon for $6.49 (also available in a two- and three-pack and four styles).
19. Get rid of crusty, stubborn eye flakes on your baby's scalp with this gentle cradle cap brush and comb.
AmazonBefore purchasing this, consult a pediatrician about signs and recommended treatments for cradle cap (seborrheic dermatitis).
ZMomUtah said, "It makes removal so much easier and gives more consistent removal than my previous method of washcloths or just scratching the cradle cap off with my fingernails. It's amazing, gross, and wonderful. My babe doesn't even flinch when I spend 10 minutes clearing his scalp of all the goo. It seems to be soothing to him. I just apply baby shampoo, then brush a little with the blue brush. Then I slowly start to comb in sections all in one direction. Then I go back and forth in multiple directions. It's shocking the amount of dead skin that comes off. I've even used it successfully in his eyebrows (he gets some cradle cap there, too). This is a KEEPER!"

Yes, like others described, you do feel a burning sensation. At least in my case, it has not caused any lasting marks. Any discomfort that I feel from the heat is far outweighed by the benefits of not having any itching. When you first apply it, the itching actually increases, but by the time you are done with the treatment, the itching is completely gone. I was so shocked at how effective it is from the first time I used it. I don't know how I lived without this for so long! Seriously, you will not regret this purchase!"

AmazonThis brush has four sides (so you can get into every nook and granny) – a nylon metal brush, a rounded welt brush, a side with rubber bristles, and another side with a thin welt brush.
Gaby Scott said, "BUY THIS THING! I got mud on my new suede boots and thought for sure they were ruined, but this brush completely restored them. I was shocked. I even used it on an old pair of boots from college that I have considered ruined for several years, and it did wonders on getting rid of the filth on top of the suede. I was even able to use it to remove stains on leather handbags as well. I was so impressed. It’s absolutely worth getting and trying for yourself! Scuff marks take a bit more time to improve, but they do look better after brushing them."
Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

25. Enjoy smoother, more even skin with Bio-Oil. This oil can help repair skin damage and fade scars and stretch marks. It has over 74,000 5-star ratings!
AmazonMissMaria82 shared, "I have eczema and I'm constantly trying to find basic skincare that I can use regularly. I have some really bad mosquito bite scars from last summer and some issues with hyperpigmentation, not to mention scarring from eczema outbreaks throughout the years. I saw this reviewed online and decided to give it a try, even though every other product they recommended for skincare was a bust for me. Not this! It smelled like it was going to be too strong and the consistency felt like it was just going to sit on my skin, so I was shocked when my skin drank it in and I had no irritation at all. Even better, after about two months I started noticing some fading and my skin texture felt better. Now it's been about four months and I'm a believer. I'm still on my first bottle (it seems like I've needed to use less over time or something), but I'm considering sizing up with my next purchase, just so I can drench myself in it daily...I'm only kind of exaggerating. It's actually gentle enough for my face and I can't even use Cetaphil on my face (I use very gentle face wash and moisturizer). I hope it becomes your new go-to skin treatment too!"

AmazonPhillip and Katherine exclaimed, "100% the BEST product I have ever used for shower/grout mold stains. It really does work in 15 minutes. I was very skeptical because the videos look too good to be true, but it ABSOLUTELY works! I just reordered the gallon-size bottle for our vinyl fence. It stinks a little bit, but not nearly as badly as a lot of other bathroom cleaning products I have used. Seriously, you will not regret this purchase!"

AmazonBuzzFeed editor Heather Braga loves it. Here's what she had to say:
"After reading about how necessary it is to actually clean your makeup brushes (I know, I KNOW, I should've been doing this for years) I was super grossed out and motivated to order the right supplies to do the job. I've heard good things about Ecotools makeup brush cleansing shampoo so I figured I'd start there. The Amazon listing also suggested buying a silicone makeup brush cleaning pad to go with it, so I figured... why not? Well, now I'm patting myself on the back because ordering these two items was a GAME CHANGER!
I could not believe how much residue came off my brushes in just one cleaning. You only need to use a little dab of the shampoo, so one bottle will definitely last a long time. The silicone pad made it super easy to thoroughly lather the brushes without leaving my bathroom sink in shambles. I also loved how each section was labeled with which brush should be cleaned in each area. My brushes look brand new! Don't hesitate like I did – buy both the shampoo and the mat ASAP."
Get it from Amazon for $6.99 (also available in a two-pack and a travel size).

AmazonAndrea N said, "I could not believe how much this product worked. After many failed attempts using different products, I finally gave up and accepted my coffee pot was always going to be stained. Then my husband sends me an article about different things to buy on Amazon and this item was one of them. I was skeptical, even after seeing reviews and before-and-after pictures. But what the heck, for less than $10 it was worth a shot. And I'm so glad I did! I let my coffee pot run without adding coffee so I could have nice hot water, then dropped one of these tabs in. It immediately started to fizz, ended up leaving overnight. The next day, with a quick swipe with a bottle brush, my coffee pot looked like it was brand-new!"

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."
