Promising review: "I love WD-40 products and use them for everything. I spray on shovels to keep dirt or snow from sticking, spray around windows and thresholds to deter bugs, clean Sharpies off wood and walls, and, of course, stop squeaky doors. These small direct-point application pens are great. Keep one in the glove box, my kitchen 'junk' drawer, and in the house toolbox." —BBP623

Promising review: "Takes away that gross smell. It seems counterintuitive to put a little packet down your garbage disposal to clean it, but this does actually seem to work, at least for getting out weird smells that baking soda and vinegar don't really touch. I scrub the sink down first, especially around the garbage disposal area, rinse it down, and then just follow the directions on the package. I have used it with single, large-size sinks and with double sinks — the only difference is that the double sink will have blue cleaning foam rise up the drain, which you rinse away when the disposal sounds clear again. I have tried the foaming cleaner in a can, but unfortunately, it stopped coming out of the can about 10% of the way through. Went back to this tried and true." —KS

Promising review: "Oh my god. This might be the best thing I have ever bought. It gets so incredibly warm. You do need to wear it over clothes to prevent burns, but as someone who never finds any heat pack warm enough, the lowest setting is exceptionally hot. As someone who has really bad menstrual cramps and chronic constipation, this little belt does it all. The heat is so soothing and adjustable, and it heats up so fast. The vibration is my favorite part. It helps so much with trapped gas and bloating pains, and can even move things along if you’re having a hard time using the bathroom. The various patterns and heat combinations allow this to be truly customizable to however you feel at the time, and it’s fantastic. Absolutely worth every cent." —Chloe

Promising review: "I purchased my second pair of Dr. Martens three days before I was headed to New Orleans. Seemed like a mistake, right? Maybe it would have been if I didn't have this spray. I used it once and then walked around the house for a bit with some thick socks on. Then I sprayed the boots again, put beer cans inside them, and let them sit overnight. I wore my NEW boots all over three different airports (thanks, layovers) and all over New Orleans. These were the only boots I packed, too. It could have ended up a nightmare, but it didn't! My boots still have a little way to go to be fully broken in, but they're definitely ahead of schedule when I compare them to my first pair. I will use this spray on every pair of boots from now to forever." —lauren

Promising reviews: "I'd left an old pan in the sink for a day or two, and the water caused it to rust and leave an ugly rust stain in the sink. I tried EVERYTHING. I scrubbed and wiped, and nothing worked. Legit, two seconds into scrubbing with this, the stain came off. I swear, it's worth every cent! It doesn't leave any gross smell, and it's real quality stuff. My sink looks perfect now!!" —Alexis

"I was trying to get adhesive off of drywall, and nothing was working. THIS WORKS on everything! It easily took off the adhesive. Then I had Corningware with a stubborn stain; I had tried everything. Then I tried The Pink Stuff, and it easily removed the stubborn stain. I will now always keep this on hand!" —David C. Rein

Promising review: "I've used many, many, many primers in my life, from the cheapest to the most expensive, and I would honestly rate this primer in the top five. After wearing this primer under my makeup all day, when I get home from work my face still looks blurred. I'm 39, and I constantly get compliments on how my skin looks, and I can partly thank this primer for that." —Erica Jackson

Promising review: "I bought one for beside the grill, one for beside the stove, one for the laundry room, and one for the car. I think the intuitive, easy-to-use design is fantastic. We already have the muscle memory for using a spray can. In an emergency, it's so much easier to grab this and use it, and turn a small fire into a non-fire. I don't have time to remember a three-step method of fire control when my bacon has gotten out of control on the stove. I'm not a firefighter! I'd really like to have one in every room. Think about it. Isn't it better to immediately contain a small fire than deal with a big one? This could save your life, and your house." —K Zander

Promising review: "These are a fantastic purchase! My clothes come out of the dryer noticeably wrinkle-free and feel soft. I’ve also noticed a slight reduction in drying time, which is a bonus for saving energy. They’re reusable and chemical-free, making them a healthy, eco-friendly alternative to dryer sheets." —Avinash

Get a six-pack from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in packs of 1, 4, 12, and 72).

Promising review: "I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use, and I use it to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10, especially for the price point!" —Thia

Promising review: "This is the best pill container I have found. It holds a month’s worth of pills in each compartment and is compact and easy to store and travel with. It is very sturdy, and I don’t have to worry about the cap opening accidentally. The enclosed labels are a bonus, and the see-through exterior makes it easy to see how many pills are left. I keep it on my nightstand, and it doesn’t take a lot of space." —TA

Promising review: "I’ve been dealing with a bad fungus nail for about three years. I’ve been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know, the ones with the brush. It never worked ’til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It’s pretty much gone, and it’s been less than two months. Buy it and don’t think about it! You won’t regret it!" —itslilac

Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite kitchen tools! This is right up there with my stand mixer. I save hours a week using this for dinner prep. I HATE cutting up veggies for dinner, and this makes it fast and fun! I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. This is worth every penny. Easy to use, and I can just throw it in my dishwasher for clean up. I’m obsessed. I will be buying these as gifts. This is an absolute must-have for everyone." —Reviewer

Promising review: "I clean my dryer vent after every single use. I was shocked to see so much lint and dust come out! It was very simple to use and it really works! I kept one for myself and gave the other to my daughter." —Shari Schmidt

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $6.64.

Promising review: "I was surprised what a difference these new shower curtain hooks made. They slide SOOOO much better across the shower curtain rod than the ones I had previously. There are also two hooks (one on each side), making it a breeze to change out or wash the shower curtain liner without removing the shower curtain. This saves so much time and aggravation!!! I will be purchasing this type from now until forever!" —MaryMaryinLA

Promising review: "This product is awesome and completely exceeded my expectations! We have been struggling with excessive earwax build-up in my 4-year-old son. We tried everything else, and he would cry and scream if we did anything to his ear. It took two tries, but we got all the impacted earwax out. The first time, I used water and apple cider vinegar, and the second time, I just used warm water. Both methods worked equally well. I tried it myself, and it feels a little weird, but it doesn't hurt. My son doesn't mind doing it and watches TV the whole time. Would definitely recommend this product for young children!" —Alix H.

Promising reviews: "We have two cats, one with long white hair who sheds a lot. I use this mostly on my furniture, comforter, and area rugs. It works wonderfully and is so easy to clean. Love that there is no sticky paper to throw away. A must-have for pet owners." —Steve Fadelli

"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

Promising review: "This is the best insulated cup I have ever had. It keeps my coffee hot all day and doesn't leak. Great product!!!" —Alison Wall

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Between myself (medium long hair) and my overly fluffy cat, a lot of hair and fluff was continually getting caught up on the roller brush of my vacuum. I dreaded vacuuming because it took so long to pull and snip the hairs wrapped up on the roller brush out with scissors. Not anymore! This silly, little, inexpensive thing works great! Super quick to remove all the hair/fur — in virtually a minute, then back to vacuuming with my lovely Miele vacuum." —MKS

Promising review: "I LOVE these little fish. I’ve been using them for about 2.5 years now, and I truly believe they help keep the humidifier and water cleaner. People don’t realize all the nasty mold and bacteria that can be growing in their humidifier and then released into the air in their room! I’ve noticed a huge difference in mold growth when I use these fish." —Shelly

Promising review: "I was using Efferdent to soak my clear retainers, but I always still had to scrub them because it would leave a film, and I don't think it killed any germs because they would turn yellow as well. So I'm very happy I gave this brand a try because it's amazing. After just one use, my retainer was clear and looked brand new again! No scrubbing needed! I just pop one in the cup with my retainer and add a little warm water, and they are ready to go again that night, sparkling clean! Definitely recommend this product and will be using it forever!" —Tara Beth

Promising review: "This stuff works really well. My cabinets had dry spots on them. This cleaned everything right up and gave them new life. I will be using this forever on my wood products." —Kindle Customer

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, specializing in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed for deeper cleans.

Here's what writer Emma Lord has to say: "I love it just after the first few days of use! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I'm getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively." 

Promising review: "I'm amazed at how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth — it definitely gets between the teeth and also, more importantly for me, gets in the small, deep crevices in my molars where I always have food stuck, and regular toothbrushes couldn't get stuff out. I brush more often (after meals/snacks) because of how effective it is. As stated, definitely go easy around the gums. The bristles feel soft but will cause your gums to bleed if you use regular pressure. Nice and easy does the trick, SO WELL!" —Jason A.

Turbo Mops is a family-run small business that wants to help you live (and clean) more sustainably.

Promising review: "The Velcro closure alone is worth the purchase. It was really easy to put on (no more pinched fingers), and the hold is very strong. No more having to handle the dirty, drippy sheets to try to reattach them in the middle of cleaning the floor. I noticed that my floors are cleaner because the microfiber absorbs more and doesn't just push the grime around the floor. Also, these can be washed in the washing machine for the next use." —Rosemary

Promising review: "We love to have scented candles burning throughout the year and got tired of having to replace the gas lighters. This lighter is absolutely incredible. It has paid for itself several times by not having to replace lighters. Not only that, it's safer to have around the house compared to an open flame lighter." —Nathan

Promising review: "OMG, this milk frother makes my homemade latte taste like it was made by a barista. It was perfect. So perfect that I bought a second one for my brother who loves coffee to use. I've already recommended it to some coworkers. It has changed my coffee-drinking life. This comes highly recommended." —Michelle

Promising review: "These held up really well on my backpack that I took with me on a long trip. While having the two zippers clipped together did make opening the backpack a little bit more difficult, it also gave me a sense of security while wearing the backpack in public." —Jenna

Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in four color combinations).

Promising review: "We have two kittens who share a litter box and produce a surprising amount of waste for such tiny guys! As a result, the odor was getting out of control. I bought this based on other reviews and have been using it for a few weeks. It really works! I’ve used it with regular clay litter and now pine, and it works well with both. It’s been helping to keep the odor to a bare minimum, even when we forget to scoop for a little bit. Highly recommend!" —ktrammell

Promising reviews: "LOVE it. It took three minutes to cut grapes, which would have taken me at least 10 [by hand]. As a mom of a toddler, those minutes are precious. It was also fun and easy to use." —Jacqueline

"I wish I had had this a LONG time ago. This little gadget has come in so handy. If you have a toddler or small child, you NEED this. It quarters grapes, cherry tomatoes, olives, etc., so they aren’t choking hazards for little ones. So much faster than slicing every tiny grape up yourself. 10/10 would recommend." —Sara Waits

Promising review: "Wow! Bought this little steamer and am really impressed. I did one go on my brothers' couches, and [there's a] difference. It could use one more go to get to the 'looking like brand new,' but this is amazing!!! When you watch the video in the product description, there is something oddly satisfying about watching the dirty water get suctioned in after spraying the surface you are cleaning, but I must admit I didn't believe it would work that well. Well, it does!! Just like advertised! I am so impressed. If you are considering this cleaner, get it; you will not be disappointed." —edina bajraktarevic

Promising review: "I love this insulated lunch bag so much. I usually just bring my lunch in a plastic grocery bag (lol), but I decided to step it up a little bit and get something insulated. It is nice and big! I can fit breakfast and lunch in there, plus more! It has side mesh pockets for napkins, utensils, snacks, whatever! My coworker immediately asked if I wanted to trade lunch bags with her. Great price point!" —Caitlyn

Nori is a woman-owned small business based in Connecticut, hoping to make your life easier with this all-in-one travel iron and steamer.

BuzzFeed contributor Negesti Kaudo is a fan:

"It's super travel-friendly too! I personally own one of these irons and take it with me on every single trip — it fits easily in a carry-on or weekender — just to make sure I still look fly after haphazardly tossing all my clothes into my bags."

Promising review: "It heats up incredibly quickly, so I can tackle wrinkles in no time. The steam output is powerful and consistent, effortlessly smoothing out even the toughest creases on all types of fabric, from delicate silk to heavier cotton. I love how lightweight and easy to use. Plus, the built-in safety features give me peace of mind while I use it." —Alisha
