Promising reviews: "This stuff is amazing. I was first introduced to Folex when I was staying at my sister's house. She's an interior decorator and I made the huge mistake of spilling iced tea on her off-white carpet. Just imagine her reaction. After screaming at me, she ran to get her bottle of Folex from her cleaning supplies. She blotted the stain with Folex and in front of my eyes, the iced tea stain completely disappeared from the off-white carpeting. If I didn't see it with it my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Needless to say, I keep it in my house and it's never failed me, not even when my cat has an accident. Bravo, Folex. I’m a customer for life." —Donna R

"I found this product one day at Home Depot and I have four German Shepard dogs and carpet.... I figured why not let's give it a try. I have been buying this stuff since... You can use this on your carpets, couches, beds, even in your car and it never fails!" —Brandi Salmon

Promising review: "These are awesome!!! I’ve purchased them multiple times and have never been disappointed. They’re effective and efficient, so pretty much everything you would want in a purchase. My daughters and I always use them and they’ve never failed to drastically reduce, or completely eliminate, breakouts. I usually apply these over night and always see a huge improvement by the next morning. They don't budge at all unless you’re intentionally removing them. If you’re on the fence, get off. The 4- and 5-star reviews are true." —Amazon Customer

Tons of reviewers with different hair types (2c, 4a, and more) absolutely love this brush.

Promising review: "I love this detangling brush, I use it every time I do my wash day and it hasn't failed me yet. I have very thick, 4a hair and typically brushes fall apart because my hair is so thick but this one hasn't. I feel like my hair is properly detangled and I love using this to as a chaser for when I flat iron my hair." —Natorea Richardson

Promising review: "I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn't hypoallergenic as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check because from the moment she came home we were in love...Then enter the Chom Chom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right— and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and from like your life depended on it— the Chom never fails...Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White

Promising reviews: "After years of buying cheap sponges, I have finally found THE ONE. My grandmother gave me a couple of these as a gift and I loved them so much I wore them out and had to buy more. I wash all of my dishes with these, from glasses to ceramic knives, to my pots and pans and it never fails to clean them to being spotless with minimal effort — even with stuck on food." —Keisha Locy

Promising review: "Every pet owner should own these. They are so easy to use, and pull up every kitty stain without fail. It even picks up other dirt that we didn't know was there! No stain has failed to be picked up by these, even the ones that have sat for a few days before we noticed them, and some old stains that were there when we bought our house which didn't even come out with professional carpet cleaning. You need these!" —MKELady

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but...I realized I had to let people know its benefits. The other eye creams/gels I have used this year don't cut it with the dry skin around my aging eyes. So after applying my newest anti wrinkle, retinol, and whatever else eye cream, I reach for this product and it never fails to leave the delicate skin around my eyes feeling softer and moisturized. I’m glad I found this product and may try some others from this company. The ingredient list is impressive for sure," —Janet

To get your foot nice and smooth, slip on the foot mask and leave them on for at least an hour (some reviewers recommend just throwing socks over the mask to keep things secure). After you remove and wash your feet, you'll see your dead skin and calluses begin to peel a few days later — if you've got a lot, It'll look something like the pics above. The gross (but oddly fun?) part is watching the process as you slowly make your way to super-smooth feet!

I saw this in a BuzzFeed article and thought, no way it's THAT good... It's that good. It's better than good. It's wild how good it is. My shower looks better than new. It took rust stains off tile. It took years of hard water scale buildup off in seconds. It is literally a miracle product." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "NEVER fails me!!! I’ve owned this for almost two years and it always comes through for me. It has stopped me from throwing up SOOO many times and has relived many headaches and migraines... I just run to my nightstand, grab this, and literally roll it outside my nostrils and smell it for a few minutes. 9/10, I don't throw up and am able to calm down enough to grab a cup of ginger ale and ginger candy to further help. I just purchased three more to have around the house and one in my purse for on the go." —i l y

"I almost never write reviews, but this product should be tried by people suffering from chronic headaches. I take far too many over-the-counter meds due to lifetime, chronic headaches and migraines and worry about the negative effects the meds have on my digestive system. This migraine stick was yet another attempt at reducing headaches, without meds. It works! I'm not saying it will stop a full-blown headache or migraine. I haven't had the opportunity to try that yet, because when I feel a headache coming on, I use the roll-on stick and it works. I roll on a small bit on my forehead, temples, and base of my neck in front and back. After about ten minutes, I realize the headache has gone away. I'm sold! I've been using this for three weeks and have avoided a lot of meds. It's worked every time, without fail." —NSF

"These brushes, paired with some liquid glass cooktop cleaner, MIRACULOUSLY cleaned soap scum and limescale deposits from the doors. It took a lot of work but these brushes succeeded where everything else failed. My sister thought the doors were frosted glass, that's how bad the buildup was on them. After a weekend's work (with frequent breaks so I wouldn't burn out my husband's DeWalt cordless drill), the results are amazing." —Mary in Nebraska

Promising reviews: "This brand is excellent...I decided to try this brand based on reviews and absolutely wasn't disappointed. We've now had them for more than 2 years without fail. We have two 2-fan, and and one 3-fan running a minimum of 12 hours daily and all we do is use a vacuum every two to three months and they're good to go. Their angle is perfect, cooling is above average, and dependability is nothing I ever expected. I can't think of any other brand I would consider at any price. More than two years, and all three are still running great!" —Rantasia

"This works extremely well. My laptops fans used to scream to the point it would make you scream into your microphone just to talk to your friends on discord. With this product that diminished, and I don't have to worry about the fans kicking up that loud ever again...I fully recommend this product just as it was recommended to me by a friend with a similar laptop problem.

Promising review: "Best thing I could've ever gotten for the kitchen. Grocery bags would pile up, and look so messy in the corner no matter how neat my mum and I tried to keep them. When I saw this I was ecstatic. It comes with screws, and wall stick ons for your choice of installation. I used the stick ons and placed it on a tile wall and it hasn't failed me yet... There are times when it is full beyond measure (because we did extra grocery shopping), or it is empty with two or three bags waiting to be pulled out, so it is getting its use." —Ran1017

Promising review: "These magic erasers work exceptionally better than the Mr. Clean erasers that are obtained locally. These are twice as thick and do a fantastic job at cleaning up dirt and grime. I originally purchased these to scrub out the inside of my electric smoker and WOW, just one of these makes my smoker door look brand new! I have started using them to clean all kinds of things around the house and they have become my go-to tool! They work phenomenal on the whites of shoes look new, wall scuffs, bathrooms, shower doors, sinks, etc. There hasn't been a thing that these magic erasers failed at. Buy them today!!" —TShepp

BuzzFeed Writer Emma Lord (pictured above) swears by this thing!:

"An embarrassing confession: my hair gets so ingrained in the carpet that a vacuum truly does nothing for it. In fact, to make matters worse, weird particles get stuck in the hair on the floor, which is stuck to the carpet, 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 it 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."

Promising reviews: "I have had my rubber broom for nearly a year and it has not broken or failed to work for me and I use it to sweep multiple times daily, the whole house from the stairs to under beds. You simply twist the broom to tighten or loosen the telescopic feature. And you don't need to apply so much pressure to sweep." —Ashcatchem

"Where my vacuum failed, this rubber rake prevailed! The colors of my rug are noticeably brighter in the area where I tested the rake. Use shorter raking motions for best results." —Emily Edwards

Puracy is a small biz based in Austin, Texas that makes nontoxic, plant-based cleaning and personal care products.

Promising review: "This is by far the best stain remover I've used yet. I have a 1-year-old that I've been treating his clothes since he started solids around 6 months. This stain remover has never failed me. It's even gotten crayon out of a Kyte sleep sack that was washed with a crayon. I treated it after I discovered it and let it sit for an hour, then washed it, and it all came out. It's my go-to baby shower gift for new moms, and I love that it's clean ingredients. Puracy, you have a forever customer!" —Hannah Webber

"I'm a super [active] sleeper. I mean, like, in my sleep I'm pulling up the sheets with my hands, rolling around, throwing pillows off the bed kind of sleeper. While these bed bands didn't solve the problem of chucking my pillows across the room, they absolutely completely solved the sheets problem, which was THE most infuriating thing considering that my bed is in the corner of the room, and the sheets are extremely difficult for me to put on as it is. These bands are made of a strong elastic band paired with metal clasps to attach to the sheets. ... I had them all attached and working within five minutes of opening the package. It has been some time now since I have purchased these bands, and they have never once failed me. They've never failed to keep my sheets down nor have they snapped out of place or broken at any point. They simply work, as the packaging states. I love these. If you are a heavy sleeper or just have a problem with your sheets coming up at night, these are THE solution!" —Eli
