3. A pack of medicated, waterproof bandages reviewers love for effectively concealing, protecting, and lifting stubborn warts from deep beneath your skin. Promising review: "I spent more than six years with a large, sometimes painful plantar wart on the bottom of my foot.
The doctor tried freezing. I tried apple cider vinegar, aspirin, freezing at home, over and over again..
.nothing worked. Never showing the bottom of my feet, refusing to get a pedicure with the girls, and so, so embarrassed.
It felt like I was doomed to have it forever; it was resistant to everything. Literally, six years of fighting it and, on a whim, tried these because of the good reviews. ONE APPLICATION.
I wore the bandage overnight. I didn’t think it did anything, but a few days later, the wart just came off. I know it’s silly to be so emotional over a stupid wart, but I’m telling you, I nearly cried.
I’ve never been so happy with a product in my life. Highly, highly recommend giving these a try if you’ve got stubborn plantar warts." — Liz Dube Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.

All you have to do is spray and leave it overnight. Then, rinse it when you shower the next day. You'll be amazed to see all the stains simply wash away without you needing to scrub.
Promising review: "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 cleanser 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, 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 our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised.
This is truly an overnight sensation!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two sizes and two scents). 5.
A foot file so you don't have to rely on pricey pedicures to reverse weeks' worth of dead skin buildup. This miracle product will make your feet feel baby-soft all over again. Promising review: "AMAZING!!! Seriously beyond impressed with this product.

* Psst! Bio-Oil contains retinol, which accelerates skin turnover but can make you more sensitive to the sun — so don't forget your sunscreen! Promising review: " I swear by this product. Very effective on discolored skin due to scarring. I had shingles on my face brought about by stress because we were moving.
It ravaged the lower right side of my face, and I was pretty sure it was going to leave hideous scarring. I bought this and started applying it when I started scabbing, and I still haven't stopped using it until now. I had my shingles in April, and it's August now.
It works. Check the before and after pics. Scars are now gone.
" — twitch Get it from Amazon for $10.40 . 7.
A carpet cleaner so you don't have to have an absolute meltdown if you (or your child or pet) make a horrible mess. Fear not! This magic formula takes care of even the most stubborn stains. Kevin from The Office really could've used this when he spilled all that chili.
.. Promising review: "Better than the best! This stuff cleans grease off of chinos.
Yes, we did purchase it to clean the rugs in our motorhome, and it reliably cleans them like new, as I can't convince the spouse to remove his dirty shoes. Beyond rugs, be sure to try it for clothing spots, as it's better than those stocked on grocery store shelves and leaves zero residue, even on chinos. Blot the moisture out, let dry, and it's ready to wear.
If you have pets, order the large size, as you'll find it indispensable. Doesn't take much to do the job, just a little spritzing; wait a few moments, and rub with a clean rag or towel for rugs. My order included two bottles; I loaned one to a friend to try, and now she won't give it back.
" — sharon l. smith Get it from Amazon for $6.65 (also available in various packs).
8. A reusable pet hair remover because at this point, you have forgotten the original color of your couch because it is entirely covered in your fur baby's fur. Promising review: "I was cautiously optimistic, but this tool is as effective as everyone is saying.
My couches, and especially my recliner, look brand-new. It takes little to no effort to use. Just use it in a 'scrubbing' type motion, and it catches and traps the fur (and other small debris, such as crumbs.
..) in the little compartment.
Pop it open and empty it out. Done." — Ian K.

I had braids and took them down three months later, and if I didn't have this brush to get the knots and tangles out, I don't know what I would have done.
I swear by this brush. It's a must-have. I have type 3c coil hair if you are wondering, but I recommend it for all hair types if you deal with knots and tangles.

And finally, I found one that is easy to keep in my purse, quick and accurate to apply, and perfectly matches my medium blond hair. I now have a spare in my makeup bag and another in my purse if I rush out the door and don't apply at home. It's definitely a good buy and something I will keep in my makeup rotation for the long term.
If you are on the fence, buy it." — NicoleTep Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four shades).
11. A pumice stone for scrubbing away hard water marks from your toilet, grill, tiles, grout, and more without using harsh chemicals or scratching the surface. Promising review: "We rented a home, and the toilets were disgusting.
Someone suggested a pumice stone, and let me tell you, it was amazing!! I tried bleach, every toilet bowl cleaner available, and countless hours of scrubbing to no avail...
but this stone worked instantly! I will be buying several more!! The stone does dissolve when scrubbing so you need a couple. I was able to do almost two toilets completely that looked awful with one stone!!" — Crista Get it from Amazon for $11.38 .

I stumbled across this hair treatment on TikTok. I had never heard of it before, but I decided to give it a try. I used it for the first time yesterday and I couldn't believe how amazing it made my hair feel and look .
It's sooo soft, shiny, bouncy, and nourished . My bleached rat's nest now looks and feels like virgin hair again . Even my boyfriend noticed a huge difference in my hair, and you know it's a GOOD product when the boyfriend notices.
:D I’m going to buy a lot more of this product. I’ve been really frustrated about my hair for years now because of all the damage; now I can finally relax and enjoy my new hair. <3" — Eline "I was skeptical.
I’ll admit it. I wasn’t sure this would work on my 4c hair but it made my hair so soft ! And I didn’t need to use a tremendous amount of product. It made it easy to comb out and blow dry my hair.
It even made it smoother after the flat iron . You can’t beat it for the price." — Niki D.

A pack of bottle-cleaning tablets because, let's face it, it's been way too long since you've cleaned your water bottle or tumbler, and it's probably growing its own ecosystem at this point. Just pop it in, let it fizz, and rinse! Promising review: " After many failed attempts using different products I had finally given 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, why not try it? I am so happy 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 and ended up leaving overnight.
The next day, with a quick swipe with a bottle brush, my coffee pot looked like it was brand-new! " — Andrea N Get 12 tablets from Amazon for $7.99 (also available in a pack of 78). 15.
A Revlon One-Step Dryer Brush so you can get an absolutely gorgeous blowout in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES at home rather than spending upwards of $50 at a posh hair salon for the same results. Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about buying at first because I have course 4c hair. I was scared my hair would get tangled, but let me tell you, that’s not the case.
It gets my hair straight and does not take long at all quickly way to blow out my hair." — Niqniq "I have thick, curly hair and used to spend so much time and energy trying to blow dry and straighten my hair. You know how exhausting it can be to hold a blow dryer in one hand and a brush in the other and wish you had two more arms or your own personal stylist! This dryer makes it so much easier with the built-in brush and cuts drying time in half.
It has a long cord that rotates, so it never gets twisted or tangled. It does get hot on the highest setting, but the end of the brush gives you a place to put your hand so you don't get burned. It's fast and easy to blow dry my hair now, and if I want a more sleek look, I just smooth it over quickly with a flat iron.
I highly recommend this tool!" — Tessy B. Get it from Amazon for $33.40+ (available in five colors).
16. A cradle cap brush and comb to gently remove stubborn flakes from your baby's sweet lil' head without hurting their tender skull. FYI: Before purchasing this, talk to a pediatrician and read more about cradle cap — aka seborrheic dermatitis — at Seattle Children’s and the American Academy of Dermatology .
Promising review: "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 different 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 Get it from Amazon for $3.99 . 17.

The kit comes with 10 toenail braces and the materials needed to apply it, including a nail file, solvent, and cotton swabs. 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 CurveCorrect 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. Get the kit from Amazon for $44.
99. 24. A CeraVe salicylic acid body wash formulated with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide that'll take care of keratosis pilaris flare-ups without leaving your skin totally dried out.
Promising review: "My 6-year-old daughter has keratosis pilaris, commonly known as 'chicken skin.' This year, it really flared up during warm weather, so I gave this wash, along with lotion, a try. Wow, I saw results after just a few uses, and after a couple of weeks, most of her bumps disappeared.
Can’t beat this price for the results either." — Ashley Steigerwald Get it from Amazon for $13.99 .
25. A set of Korean skincare exfoliating mittens because it's time to finally say goodbye to that loofah you've had for way too long. This ~handy~ tool sloughs away dead skin to reveal visibly (and touchably) softer arms, legs, bums.
.. literally wherever you want to use it.
Promising review: "I have always had skin issues. Itchy, flaky skin and lotion won't absorb; no product really helps remove the gross dead skin in high-friction areas. These changed my life! Remove dead skin with ease, and aren't as coarse as those gloves you see in big box stores! I'm significantly less itchy, the lotion absorbs better, and I feel better when I wear tank tops or even less! These things are a lifesaver.
Most gross and satisfying, while scrubbing, I noticed the water turning gray in the tub as I scrubbed away all those dead skin cells. My allergies aren't half of what they were a week ago, and I can use all those cute soaps and lotions! I feel great. I'd buy these a million times more.
I had no idea how much body soil I was retaining. I feel great after a shower, and for once, I feel truly clean." — Rachel Schumacher Get it from Amazon for $8.
99+ (available in packs of one or two). 26. A set of adjustable strap holders because we're not gonna let a rogue bra strap ruin our racer-back tank top moment! Never again! Promising review: "My bra straps spent more time off my shoulders than on them.
I have bras that fit perfectly, but the straps are too wide-set or something. I'm so glad I bought these little bra strap clip holders because they've solved the problem. I've used them for three days now, and my straps have not fallen off of my shoulders even once in that time.
Amazing! I love them! I put a clip holder on my bra and then put the bra on like a T-shirt — over my head, put my arms in, then fasten it as usual in the back — pretty easy. The length of the clip holders is adjustable. I have fully extended them to fit across the back of my 38DD bras.
At first, it felt a bit odd because it was different, but it didn't take long to adjust to the feel of it. The strap clip holders do the job, and they are pretty cheap, so give them a try. " — Polly Esther Get a set of three from Amazon for $6.
99+ (available in nine styles). 27. And finally, a bundle of the Pink Stuff all-purpose paste and spray you KNOW is good, because TikTok loves this stuff! This formula magically reverses wall markings, cooked-on grease, soap scum, shoe scuffs, and whatever else needs a little extra love.
Promising review: "WOW!!!! This stuff is amazing. I literally just have to spray it, let it sit for a few minutes, come back, and depending on what I’m using it for, I either wipe it and it comes right off, or I just use a scrubbing pad, and it comes off. There’s nothing out there that is anywhere in comparison to this product!!!! This stuff is the absolute best.
I highly recommend purchasing this. I can tell you that half of my cleaning products are now going to be thrown out because all I need is The Pink Stuff. Whoever invented this stuff is an absolute genius; if you’re a clean freak like me, this really is the way to go.
Also, it doesn’t have that nasty chemical smell; it smells great. Just buy it; you won’t regret it." — Twin33 Get the original cleaning paste and multi-purpose spray from Amazon for $19.
