1.
A hand cream that’ll make your skin so smooth you’ll forget you once had hands as dry as your humor.
Promising review: “I am amazed! I have dealt with eczema all my life. I’ve used steroid creams/ointments, lotions, wash, you name it. And then I tried this miracle product! In four days, my hands looks better than they ever have! I can bend my finger without pain! I’m sooo happy with the results. And I have only been using it for four days (pictured above)!” —Kelly

A cradle cap comb to gently remove any rough, dry skin from your baby’s head with its ultra soft silicone brush/fine-tooth comb design.
No worries, new parents! Cradle cap — aka, seborrheic dermatitis — is a very common dry scalp condition that affects infants.
Promising review: “The pictures posted here are legit. 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 and 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!” —ZMomUtah

An air purifier — it’s gonna clear up the air in your home so well that going outside to get “fresh air” will seem like an oxymoron.
Promising review: “I can breathe clearly now, the dust is gone! And not just the dust, my neighbors smoke (not cigarettes) and they live below me and it comes up through the walls and floors and it instantly makes my entire apartment smell. Within minutes of putting this purifier on the smells goes away almost instantly. I was amazed. It was also extremely easy to assemble because there was no assembly! Not only was the smoke smell an issue, I’ve noticed when I’m cooking it takes away that smell as well which I love. I also noticed when I wake up in the morning I can breath better (I think there’s mold in my apartment). Anyway, this product was exactly what I was looking for and worth the price. It even comes with a cute little nightlight if you need it!” —Cristina

A lice comb for when your child comes home from school with more than just their human friends.
Promising review: “This better be the only comb you buy if you find yourself unlucky enough to need it!! We got the plastic one first and quickly realized it was a big mistake. This one solved our problem in a heartbeat. This was very effective for our five-person family. This comb was used, boiled, wiped and used over and over again. We have extremely long and thick hair and this comb was far less painful than the crappy plastic ones that come with lice shampoo. Trust me. You have to have a comb that works or those nasty little buggers are staying.” —Jason Anderson

5.
A drill brush kit because hard water is HARD to get off.
This kit includes three nylon power brushes that’ll fit on any cordless drill.
Promising review: “These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shined brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well-made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them.” —Tom S4TX
Get it from Amazon for $17.95+ (available in six styles).

A window fly trap so you can get rid of pesky house flies in an efficient and sanitary way when spring brings back the bugs.
Promising review: “Gross yet effective. We live in the country with animals so we have lots of flies. I did not want to hang a fly trap but caved when I saw this. I feel it’s not as noticeable as others and is easy to hide and works very well. Easy to hang and does not leave a sticky residue when removed.” —Tina

A pack of pimple patches that’ll blast away blemishes in the blink of an eye.
Promising review: “I’ve tried so many brands of pimple spots, and these are hands-down the best on the market. I’m a performer at Walt Disney World, and a clear complexion is required. Last night, I put these on a few acne problems (a small cyst, a whitehead, and a pimple I shouldn’t have picked and has been a bump for about three weeks now). I just woke up and am writing this review in disbelief. THEY’RE FLAT! Gone! All of them! I could cry I’m so happy. The packaging is also ideal because it allows you to conveniently and easily peel the stickers off without stretching them out or folding them back on themselves. Do yourself and your complexion a huge favor! Have these on hand for a stubborn zit when you really need help. Make sure you apply them to completely clean and dry skin.” —Caitlyn
Get them from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in 40 small round patches or 16 large rectangle patches).

A box of salicylic acid wart-removing adhesive bandages — these are simply gonna look like you’re covering up a scratch, but underneath it’s gonna be a war zone on ya warts.
Promising review: “This worked for me. Here’s what happened. First bandage: Everything turned white. Second bandage: The top layer of the wart started disappearing and I could see the blood vessels that were inside it clearly. Third bandage: It started burning while wearing it. One day was REALLY painful, but now I think I just put the bandage on too tight. There was definitely burning though. Uncomfortable, not unbearable. Fourth bandage: The skin around the wart started to crack. Fifth bandage: The skin continued to crack and I could see the wart separating. Sixth bandage: Skin separating deeper. Wart was really soft but it wouldn’t budge. Seventh bandage: The wart stuck to the medicine, so when I pulled off the bandage, the wart went with it. I’m left with some raw skin that’s a bit sensitive but it feels fine. It looks like the entire wart came off, roots and all. Side note: It smells horribly. Make sure you put the bandage on tight enough to try and conceal the smell, but not so tight it hurts. Overall, not a horrible process. Make sure you follow the instructions and keep it on for 48 hours at a time. Two of mine were only on for 24 hours and I think that prolonged the process.” —Chelsea Gipson

A hairbrush cleaning tool so you can avoid brushing your hair with a hair-and-dust-covered brush. Once strands of hair have left our heads they are equal parts nasty and evil…just ask your shower drain.
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

A box of septic-safe dishwasher cleaning tablets for obliterating mineral buildup and odors. If a washer is dirty…is it even a washer at all?
Just pop one in for a full cycle and let it work its magic. Plus, you only need to use it once a month, so a single, $6 six-pack will last you a while!
Promising review: “Worked very well! We’ve lived in our home a while, and small remedies haven’t done much to help clean the dishwasher. I finally decided to give a cleaner a try, and this one worked exceptionally well. The pics above are after one use of two packs (as per instructions for a particularly dirty washer). I’ll definitely be getting more when I run out to help maintain a cleaner dishwasher!” —chocobeanie
Get a pack of six tablets from Amazon for $8.99.
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 down easily, then ran it one more time to get it detailed really clean. I highly recommend using it (more often than once every six months) for a super fast, super clean microwave!” —Kelsey

A laundry whitener that’s gonna help make your stained whites look brighter than the day you bought them…no matter how impressive your sweat stain skills are.
Promising review: “Wow! Better than bleach. With the first load of whites I used a whole measure of this product and no bleach and the whites came out like new. I had no idea how dingy they had become. We’ve bleached them every time we did laundry but they just got dingier and dingier. After that first load, we went back to the recommended level of OxiClean to each load to keep whites white and to extend the use of the product and no bleach smell. We’ve relegated the chlorine to household cleaning chores and no longer use it in the laundry thanks to this product. It works on color clothing too. It comes out bright and clean.” —John
Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes).
13.
A bottle of nail and cuticle care oil to strengthen your nails and bring them back to life. Get this if having another broken nail will be the final nail…in your coffin.
Promising review: “I had peeling, weak nails for years. Tried everything. I bought this in February. This size bottle lasted a bit more than a month religiously applying it two to three times a day. I was really seeing great improvement so I bought another bottle in late March. By May, all the peeling had grown out and my nails were getting stronger every day. I then bought the big four-ounce refill bottle because I never want to run out of it again! Cannot recommend this stuff enough!” —Diana

Read my BuzzFeed coworker’s review of this gross and satisfying tool.
Promising review: “Can’t say enough good things about this product. I have a family of four and would frequently have to snake our shower drain, it appears I won’t be having that problem ever again. I even give my dog baths and this collects the hair. It does not seem to slow down the flow of water down the drain significantly. I’m very impressed having been using around a month. You don’t know how much hair you wash down your drain until you use this!” —Aaron Morlock

A bedbug killer — this can kill off the creepy crawlies on your bed faster than they can say, “Boo!”
Amazon, amazon.com
Promising review: “This completely eradicated the bedbug problem we incurred when we purchased an old bed frame. First thing we did was buy encasements for all of the mattresses and box springs (this is a must). I sprayed every five to seven days around the baseboards and perimeter of the beds, vacuumed three times a week, sprayed down our bed, bed frames, and mattresses daily with 91% alcohol with some lavender oil (found out they hate lavender), and sprinkled diatomaceous earth around the baseboards as well. It’s been three weeks and we haven’t seen any more, thank goodness! This was one of the most horrible experiences I have ever been through — sometimes feeling helpless, not being able to sleep, and worrying about these nasty critters eating on our daughter at night. I am so glad we found this spray and I would recommend it to anyone that’s having problems with these things.” —Court

16. A ChomChom pet hair remover roller for picking up fur and locking it inside the roller, making cleanup a breeze. P.S. — it doesn’t lose its effectiveness with heavy use. We love our pets but woof, shedding is their greatest skill.
Promising review: “I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However I find it’s a great arm workout and it works wonders.” —Joanne Ertel

A tongue scraper, because cleaning your tongue is an important part of oral hygiene — you can use this to take off all that bacteri-yuck.
Promising review: “Unfortunately I, like many, suffer from bad breath and have tried so many things to stop it. I read that sometimes it’s the germs on your tongue that can cause it, so I went crazy trying to brush my tongue. Of course we all know how that ends — gagging, watery eyes, and it still looks like that gross film is on your tongue. I finally decided that maybe it was time to get a tongue cleaner and it had to be a stainless steel one because they are easier to clean and sterilize. This product is really easy to use and I can get very far back on my tongue without activating my gag reflex. Also, it doesn’t have the feeling like brushing with a toothbrush does. This cleaner just glides across my tongue, taking all the icky germs and bad breath with it. I love my nice new fresh breath and bolster of confidence!” —jordanlauren

A bottle of fizzing tablets to keep your kettles, mugs, and water bottles clean. Honestly, these things work so well you’ll be able to sit back, relax, and drink it all in.
Promising review: “I seriously can’t believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting HydroFlask coffee mug — I tried everything. Bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING, and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER HydroFlask to replace it. Now eventually they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much I used it on another HydroFlask I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn’t put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING.” —Amazon Customer

19. A dandruff shampoo that’ll work wonders as long as you aren’t ~flaky~ about using it.
Promising review: “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 of five times (over a month) and it cleared my scalp almost completely. One more use and my scalp will be 120% healed! This stuff blew my mind. Totally worth it.” —Chris
Get it from Amazon for $18.44 (also available in a conditioner).
Promising review: “Want to feel disgusting about your previous self from five minutes ago and better about your health for the next couple of weeks? Then wet down your schnozz and toss one of these babies on there. It will transform from malleable and comfortable to a stiff sticky pad on your face. After waiting five minutes, when you are ready to see what disgusting things have been cratered in your nose, pull this baby off. Get ready to feel the rush of excitement as your nose has its blackheads ripped from their pores and you feel cleaner than you do after a shower. Then flip it over and inspect it closely to see how many nasty blackheads were previously calling your nose home. Take a pick or show to a friend, preferably both. Then crumple it up and throw it away and begin the countdown until the next extraction.” —r0bdawg11

A terrific toenail brace — this can flatten out your nail to prevent it from jabbing into your skin. Your ingrown toenails are about to be de-feet-ed.
The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it. You should start seeing results within three days.
Promising review: “I never realized how curved my toenails were. I thought the pain I had was just normal and a fact of life. Only when I read about the Curve Correct product, did I realize that I had a major problem, and it could be resolved! Now I’m on the way to normal, flat toenails, that DON’T grow curved into my skin!” —Jamie H.

A bottle of pet earwax to clean out ear gunk so well your pets may finally hear you when you tell them to stop jumping on the furniture.
I have hairless cats who need a little extra help keeping their ears clean and I love this stuff! It’s gentle enough to use often and breaks up earwax fast.
Promising review: “My husband and I just adopted our cute puppy, Winston, from the humane society. When we adopted him his ears were unfortunately pretty dirty, but after using this ear cleaner today his ears are so clean!! I’m so amazed at everything it managed to get out. Our puppy’s ears look so much better now! I would highly recommend this product to anyone with a dog.” —AmazonLurker

23. A Goo Gone kitchen degreaser that’ll rid surfaces of those sticky, gross, and stubborn residues you’ve honestly just grown to accept as part of your appliances at this point. It’s time to solve that problem.
This is safe for use on tile, ceramic and sealed stone surfaces, *and* even safe for food prep areas!
Promising review: “The tops of my cupboards had been cleaned maybe once in 15 years. They were disgusting with grease and dust that I thought I’d never get off. Goo Gone Kitchen Degreaser worked a miracle for me! The cupboard that was directly above the oven took some elbow work, and all others were as simple as spray, and wipe. The tops of my cupboards look new again!” —JC

A wheel cleaner to get your wheels on a roll, even if you have months of mud, salt, and rust piled on them.
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

A makeup brush shampoo so you can stop making your skin dirty when you’re trying to look fresh.
Promising review: “This cleanser is great! It fully removes all makeup from the brushes without leaving them feeling beat up (I’m not the most gentle when it comes to cleaning brushes). I use a thick foundation that soaks heavily into the bristles, but this removed it all. At first I thought it was a bit thin, but after using it, a little bit goes a long way. It has a nice lather, but very nicely and easily rinses out.” —Kryssy

A water-based alkaline wood cleaner — this is gonna wipe away dirt, oil, and dried spills while being gentle on the wood itself. Turns out your hands were always filthy and your railings really felt it.
Promising review: “This is the best wood cleaner! It doesn’t leave a super shiny or wet appearance on your table top — just a beautiful, clean look. Much better than other wood cleaners I’ve tried in the past!” —Georgie Girl

Amazon
Promising review: “We are in love! This thing cleans so well and gets all the way down the line and around the corner. It’s wide bristles really help get all the lint out and even help scrub some of the really stuck in their pieces off. We use this regularly now to clean out the vent!” —Leslie

A jetted tub cleaner for jets that have slowly stored your dead skin cells, dirt, and other bacteria-filled buildup all the times that cleaning yourself didn’t involve cleaning the bathtub after.
To use, just run your water, pour in some cleaner, and start your jets. It only takes 15 minutes!
Promising review: “This stuff is seriously amazing! I am relentless about cleaning my tub because I use it so often. Before I purchased this, I used the typical homemade recipe of bleach and powdered dishwashing soap. I’d have to run two or three cycles to get it crystal clear. One cycle with this stuff, 15 minutes, and the results are amazing! I first ran my tub with the solution, then drained it and wiped it down with a sponge. When I refilled the tub up and reran the jets, I kid you not the water was CRYSTAL CLEAR! I’m so impressed!” —Chelsea

A grout pen that’ll make your tile look cleaner than the day you moved in…unnervingly so.
Promising review: “I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my large master bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I’m very happy with this product!” —Jenelle

And finally, a bottle of Tend Skin Solution to clear up redness, bumps, and razor burn. Shaving is about to be a much smoother process.
Promising review: “This product is a lifesaver, simply amazing!! My before picture (above) is from two months ago without using Tendskin after shaving. That’s how bad my thighs used to get two to three days after shaving. I used to cry so much because EVERYTHING hurt my thighs, including my silk covers. My after picture is from July 31, 2019. As you can see it’s a tremendous difference. Although I still have scars, my shaving doesn’t bring tears to my eyes anymore. It’s helped with razor bumps, ingrown hairs, dark spots, and my sensitivity to denim.” —Kim
