Promising review: "I don't write many reviews and I was totally skeptical but OMG I'm in love! I've purchased so many products to try to clean the marks in my sink and nothing worked. I used it on my stovetop and was amazed how well it cleaned it that I moved on to my sink." —Christina

Promising review: "I’m happy to say this product works! I purchased this product due to my inability to provide my skin with appropriate sun protection one day this summer. I proceeded to spend a night wishing that I could safely freeze myself into an ice cube. Midnight discomfort lead me to this product. The initial use was a day or two after the day of regret, but it eased the discomfort and moisturized my reddened skin, helping to soften the leather layer I had started to form. Of course this review would not be complete without me faulting myself a second time. Two times in one summer I proved my inability to adult well. I applied this lotion the MINUTE I realized that I had experienced another exposure to the sun for too long a period. To my absolute joy, this product relieved my discomfort. It left a layer that stayed cool for a few hours (at which time I reapplied it), it was a little tacky to the touch (not sticky or oily), and my skin did not experience the crocodile and subsequent peeling experience it had earlier in the season. The scent is soft and not overpowering. I have experienced skin sensitivity in the past to products, but I had no issues with Burt's Bees products. Thank you for providing me with such a helpful product." —Meghan

Promising review: "I am a fifth-grade teacher, and it is nice to have a warm meal for lunch/snack. I would have to use my underpowered microwave in my classroom to heat food up. Not only would it take a lot of time, cleaning it was a beast with microwave-crusted food stuck on everything. This thing works amazing. I've had it for a week or so and I have eaten every lunch out of it and a few snacks. AMAZING. I can see this coming with me anywhere I have access to a plug-in. Solid, durable, easy to clean, and fits a full can of soup perfectly. I love this thing!" —Don

Promising review: "I hate when my purse falls off the seat and onto the floor in the passenger seat. My friend had one and I had to have it. I love and highly recommend them!" —Rose

Promising review: "I tried this product after reading rave reviews. Well, I’m adding my own! I have white subway tiles all the way to the ceiling. Extremely hard to reach and clean This product truly doesn't require scrubbing and the nozzle allowed me to spray all the way to the top of the tiles and crevices. And it did an amazing job on the shower head. I 100% recommend this product!" —Sam2mona

Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents).

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.

Promising review: "I absolutely love these things! I have five kiddos. These gel stamps keep my toilet cleaner and fresher smelling for longer, which is a definite plus with four boys. These have an easy, no-mess application. I finally just put them on my Subscribe & Save so I always have them ready." —Alyssa M

Promising review: "I never write reviews, but I'm so happy about my sparkling white dishwasher that I can't help it! Ever since I moved into my apartment, my dishwasher was totally yellow inside. There were also lighter colored streaks all in it...it was pretty gross to look at. I read about this product in an article and was so excited to order it! After one use, my dishwasher looks brand new! I seriously can't believe it. Didn't expect it to work so well!" —M. Street

Promising review: "The mosquitoes are worse than I have seen in my 60+ years in northern Wisconsin. Swarms of really big ones. This tool makes a satisfying snap sound when it connects with a bug. Indoors or outdoors it has performed well." —Cooper C

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "This product deserves 10 stars. I have been searching for a joint supplement to help my 5-year-old golden retriever with stiffness in his behind leg. He has been on this supplement for about four months now and I couldn't be happier with the improvement in his mobility. The results have been amazing; he no longer struggles to get up from the floor, and he runs around the yard with a huge grin on his face. He is feeling GREAT! I am also giving this supplement to our 1-year-old puppy to help give him a head start with his fight against devolving hip dysplasia or arthritis. I don't know if this is the right supplement for your beloved fur baby but can only speak for what great results it has improved in mine. I would definitely consider giving this a try." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I love these! I absolutely hate a dirty sink and I use these to keep my disposal from stinking. We bought our house back in October and there was a funk coming from that drain. I tried a lot of different things from baking soda/vinegar to ice and lemons, etc. These little packages have gotten rid of that problem and I continue to use them because they are cheap and they work. Also, there is something really satisfying about the blue bubbles in the sink." —Danielle

Get a pack (good for four uses) from Amazon for $3.78.

Promising review: "I've had it in my possession for like two hours and I've cleaned everything. The couch, the blinds, the cat tree pad, the chair; I'm obsessed. I feel like this thing should win an award for being so awesome. I feel like it should be in raffle baskets and giveaways and silent auctions for every event that highlights 'things cat people need.' It's better than those sticky rollers, it's better than the one-directional velvet wand thing that I always use the wrong way. It's the best." —Meowser

Daily Dose is a family-owned small haircare biz!

Promising review: "With this product I can actually brush through my hair! It also leaves my hair shiny and smooth! I have really damaged, colored hair that becomes sooo tangled after washing that I typically can't get a brush through no matter what products I use. But this actually works! New customer for life!" —Susan

Promising review: "I wish I had found these sooner!! These cold sores were probably the worst I’ve had, and wouldn't clear up or stop itching/hurting. I googled cold sore remedies and these happened to pop up. After reading the reviews, I immediately ordered them. They came right on time and I put them on before bed last night. It's been less than 36 hours and already these cold sores are healing up beautifully. I plan to order another pack or three so I can keep one at home, one in my purse, and one in my locker at work so if I ever feel the warning tingle/itching of a new breakout, I can slap one of these bad boys on and get rid of it quickly! Highly recommend for my fellow cold sore sufferers." —Jessica Hill

Promising review: "Best foot callus remover I have ever used! I read a lot of the reviews before purchasing this product. Most callus removers I have purchased in the past were not very effective. So I was encouraged by the reviews. I saw that a lot of reviewers mentioned to be very careful not to leave it on longer than three or four minutes. My feet were the softest they have ever been. Love love love." —Cheri whisker

Get it from Amazon for $11.19.

Promising review: "This is an unbelievable product! I work 12-hour shifts in the hospital and need protection for the corn on my left great toe. I purchased the size large and it fit well. Underneath my socks and athletic shoes, I completely forgot I was wearing it — bonus! The silicone is very soft and flexible and cleans easily. The product is priced well for the quality and quantity (six) that is provided. Each toe cap is packaged individually in the bag so the order can be shared with others if desired. I would absolutely recommend this since it has held up quite well for the 17 hours I often have it on (from the time I wake up until I am back from my shift). Cleans and dries easily and has maintained its shape." —LJ

Rocco & Roxie is a family-run small business making everything you and your pet need to live a clean and fun life. From treats to toys, they've got what you need!

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

Petra is a family-owned small business whose products and tools will help you to maintain your lawn or backyard space.

Promising review: "When I first learned about this product I was very both surprised and very skeptical. I recently had a big shrub removed from my yard and the sod I laid down was yellow and wilted, needless to say I didn't keep up with the watering. I had a party in the yard and I hated how that area looked, especially because it was in the front so you couldn't miss it. I ordered the grass dye and holy smokes, it instantly worked!!!" —Jaydee R.

Don't have space for an entire organizer? Check out these snap-on laundry detergent cups that also catch spills and drips.

Skywin is a small biz creating gadgets to make life a little simpler.

Promising review: "Where were these things all my life! I used to hate the big jugs of detergent after many spills and these suckers being heavy. A great simple invention and it works and doesn't shift around on top of my dryer. Less mess and I enjoy doing laundry more because it's easy to get my detergent. Love this updated look with no pieces to attach." —spendzilla

Check out a TikTok of the shower towel hooks in action.

Promising review: "These are the perfect solution to hang towels, shower caps, squeegees, or other items on your glass shower doors. I have tried so many suction cups over the years, and they all constantly fall down about once per week. I don't have to worry about that anymore with these. I wish I knew about these sooner! They seem to be high-quality and have clear rubber caps on the ends, so it doesn't scratch the glass." —L. DeGraff

Promising review: "I have been extremely impressed with the results. The cleaner has been a game changer in keeping my washer clean and fresh-smelling, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to maintain their washing machine's performance. What I love most about this product is its effectiveness. Even after just one use, I noticed a significant improvement in my washer's performance. It no longer had the musty smell that had been lingering, and my clothes came out smelling fresh and clean." —Proyectos Creativos

Get the pack of six tablets from Amazon for $11.95.

Check out a TikTok of the Door-Doc in action.

Door-Doc is a small business that specializes in home laundry solutions.

Promising review: "I’d never had any issues with mold or any nastiness accruing inside my washer, until I did. I read a bunch of reviews and convinced myself I didn't need such an item — after all, I could just prop the door open after every wash. The thing is, the way the washer is positioned in the laundry room, I’d hit the washer door every time I went in there. I gave in and made the purchase. Sooooo worth it! Easy to maneuver around and it's a sturdy little gadget. Highly recommend!!!" —painter Jane

Promising review: "This stuff works! I'd never had a wart in my life! At first I thought it was a small callus but as months went by it was getting larger. I started to google and realized I had a plantar wart on my thumb! So I got the Freeze Off and thought 'This has to work!' Nope! I tried the Freeze Off three times and nothing! I then 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 little tougher to removed and I had irritated my skin trying to cut it out, so I left it alone for few days before reapplying a strip and by the second 48-hour treatment, it was gone! I thought my skin would be damaged but it looks like nothing was ever there!" —Audrey N.

Promising review: "Really love this product. I’ve been using it to clean mildew off caulk in a bathtub. It makes white caulk look brand-new in a couple of hours. So much easier than using bleach spray. It's more of a gel so it sits on the caulk, allowing it to work. Perfect for bathtub/shower situations." —Jimmy James

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

Promising review: "This stuff is the GOAT!!! It has been a godsend. My son spit up baby Tylenol on my couch like eight years ago and nothing would get that stain out until this stuff. AND NOW it has proven itself once again. As I colored my mom's hair dark brown last week with one of those box dye kits, I did so wearing my FAVORITE Homage "Clear Eyes Full Hearts Can't Lose" shirt and low and behold…I got that awful dye on my favorite shirt. AND FOLEX GOT IT OUT. If it can remove permanent hair dye. It can do anything." —cmccask

Sagely is a family-owned small business founded by husband-and-wife team Ellie Glazer and Ivor Miskulin.

Promising review: "Love this thing!!! I'm only 30 and didn't want an old lady pill box...and this one was modern and cool. The little slots to push in pills is fantastic and the containers are very large. It keeps my huge vitamin pills on either side and could fit over 10 large ones if needed. Love this thing. Worth the price and looks like it'll last forever. I do wish the magnets were stronger. They just keep them in place but will slide off if bumped. I assume this is helpful for people with arthritis. It's an easy fix. I take down one day's worth of pills, set it on my counter, and now I'm not too lazy to take my pills!" —Chicken McNugget

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

Promising review: "I was so worried that it wouldn't cut great, but after trying it a bunch of times, the pill cut the same way every time. I love how half of the pill goes to a little hole for you to just tip in your hand, and the other half stays in the container. Great price! Great product!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $2.49 (color may vary).

Promising review: "This is really a product where you’ll wish you had taken a before and after picture. My metal barstools were left on the balcony all winter because of a surprise three-day blizzard. After being buried in snow all winter I thought for sure I would have to throw them out when I saw them in the spring. Looking at them now after using the product, no one would suspect that they weren't new ones!" —Mom@home

Promising review: "Who can say no to a mess-free toasted panini in under four minutes? Or frozen chicken nuggets or fish sticks. The sky is the limit with what you can fit into each of these toaster-safe bags. This is a late-night grilled cheese made in two minutes from heaven!!!" —Corey Guy Tremblay

Promising review: "I just tried these last weekend at an outdoor wedding with an indoor reception. They were amazing! I kept them on all night. First, I walked outside in thick grass, and the wedding photos were taken in a mushy grassy area. I didn't sink even a little bit. It was fantastic. My heels were fabulous. I then decided to leave them on for the rest of the night since they made my heels more stable and comfortable. So glad I tried them. I was showing them off to the other ladies, and everyone loved the look of them." —J L D

Promising review: "I love this bottle holder! Toddlers throw everything and with this product attached to the bottle and strapped to a high chair for example, you don't have to get up to pick up the bottle. Not the best articulation but you get the idea right? #mombrain" —Randi

Promising review: "Your search for door screens stops here! I initially purchased two previous screens from other companies. The first one kept flying open with the slightest breeze. The second one had a rip in the seam when I took it out of the box! I almost gave up, but decided to give this one a try! It's a WINNER! It was simple (that's saying a lot for me) to hang, it has the tie-backs, which I use when my door is shut/blinds open, so I am not looking at the screen. I purposely didn't tie it back one night to put it to a high wind test, and it passed with flying colors (never flew open)!!!!! I purchased a second one for a friend. I love this screen!" —Karen
