Shine in a silicone-free product?! Dreams really do come true.

Promising review: “OMG!!! Most amazing hair treatment I’ve ever used in my entire life. Most hair masks weigh my hair down but since this is a water, it makes it SO soft and bouncy. I’m obsessed and will keep buying. Holy grail.” —fariba n.

Get it from Amazon for $9.87.

2. A pack of dishwasher-cleaning tablets for crossing something off your to-do list while barely lifting a finger. Just run an empty load and you’ll be on your way to a cleaner cleaning machine, which means fewer streaky dishes you just have to wash again anyway.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This stuff is amazing! I used it in my dishwasher. Had standing water on the bottom, dropped one tablet in the water. Put it on light wash cycle and at the end of the cycle, the water was gone! It thoroughly cleans and I have not had any other problems. I now use it regularly. I recommend this highly to keep your dishwasher clean and eliminate clogs from buildup. It was recommended to me by my super and after my positive experience I am happy to cosign his recommendation.” —cheapchicshopper

3. A powerful mold and mildew stain cleaner that’ll lift the most daunting grout and caulking stains without the back-breaking scrubbing. Just apply the concentrated gel formula, wait six to eight hours, and wipe it off to reveal the pearly white grout you never thought you’d see again.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This product worked amazingly well!! It says to apply on a dry surface and let sit five to six hours. My shower wasn’t totally dry and after three hours, the once dirty caulking was perfectly white again. I was a little skeptical, but this is my new holy grail cleaning product. I wish I could give it more stars. Just awesome!” —Carl Oviedo

Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

4. A pack of Downy fabric spray so you can rock wrinkle-free fits even when there’s no time (or energy) to break out the iron. Just spray, give your clothes a few swipes, and watch the wrinkles rapidly fall away.

amazon.com

I hate wrinkles *and* am lazy — two at-odds conditions. This stuff has been a staple in my life since approximately ninth grade (thanks to my mama). As a former Catholic school uniform wearer, this stuff was VITAL to freshening up wrinkly dress shirts that spent the after-school hours stuffed in a gym bag.The scent is light and fresh and its wrinkle-releasing powers are nearly instant.It definitely works better on some fabrics than others (great on cotton, less great on some synthetics), but it’ll improve the look of most without dealing with an iron or steamer.

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $15.94.

Natalie Brownan editor here at BuzzFeed, actually tried these containers for herself, and, well, you just gotta read her full Rubbermaid FreshWorks container review.

Promising review: “Oh my gosh, they work! I went on a 10-day trip and left my husband home with asparagus, strawberries, and spinach in the containers. He ate some of all of them, but there was plenty left when I got back, and everything was in perfect condition! I couldn’t believe it! These containers will save us a lot of money not throwing away food because we couldn’t get through it fast enough. (We shop at Costco and get large containers of produce.) These are TOTALLY worth getting!” —Elizabeth Walter

8. A bottle of professional-grade callus-removing gel that quickly removes years’ (I repeat, YEARS’) worth of hard calluses without endless scraping and scrubbing. Reviewers say dead skin dissolves in mere minutes, so I’d start picking out a new pair of sandals, like, now.

Just presoak your feet, apply the gel, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, and rinse! It’s recommended you go back in afterward with a foot file just to make sure no residue or dead skin is left behind.

Promising review: “I have the driest heels and this is the ONLY product that has ever worked. Before I used this my heels had some pretty deep cracks and now they’re almost baby soft again. BUT please follow the directions…left it on my super-dry thick-calloused heels for only three minutes and the calluses were literally melting off! Wonderful product! So glad I don’t have to go soak my feet in those tubs at the nail salon anymore.” —Kiki

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

9. These reusable Swiffer dusters so you can save money and the environment by saying buh-bye to disposable duster heads without compromising on a clean home.

Psst — the seller notes that thisworks best with Swiffers with the yellow handlebut also is compatible with the blue handle. You should avoid using fabric softener when washing this duster so it won’t lose its static cling.

Promising review:“Great washable duster replacement tops. They vacuum off and wash up easily, and they grab dust and cobwebs every bit as well as the disposable ones I was using. Considering it means putting a bit less into landfills and also saving money in the long run, I only wish I had bought these years ago, sincerely. Also they shipped very promptly and arrived sooner than expected, so that was a pleasant surprise. Thanks!” —otherlings

Get it fromTS Designs USon Etsy for$4.99(available in 11 colors).

10. An affordable teeth-whitening pen because a smile you’re proud of is (literally) worth smiling about. This pen requires just ONE minute of daily use to get teeth that are four to eight shades whiter. The best part? No lingering sensitivity.

amazon.com

Promising review:“These pens are awesome!They are very easy to use and come with good instructions. I haven’t even used it 10 times yet and I’m already seeing results so I’m excited to see it keep getting better!!The flavor is a little bit unpleasant but not bad at all and definitely worth it. I also haven’t noticed it making my teeth sensitive at all, which I was a little worried about since I already have sensitive teeth so I’m glad it’s not affecting that!! The first picture is a selfie from before I started using this, and the second is from today! You can already see some results after only a few times!” —Sami Froemke

11. A jewelry-cleaning pen to return cloudy gems to their former, out-of-the-box glory without shelling out the big bucks for a professional cleaning. You’ll be enjoying your jewels like you’re seeing them for the first time.

Stephanie Hope / BuzzFeed

Promising review: “I inherited some really special jewelry from my great-grandmother when she passed, but it hadn’t been worn much since her dementia diagnosis and had just been sitting out getting dusty and dingy. One piece, in particular, is a 1.25-karat oval-shaped citrine (our birthstone) pendant in a pineapple setting. It was filthy and you could barely even tell that it was a citrine; it was so cloudy and covered in dust and gunk. I used this for about four minutes really getting into all the little spaces and crevices of the pendant, and when I was finished I literally cried. It was beautiful and sparkly and just perfect. I wear it almost every day now and clean it with this pen about once a week just to keep it sparkly, but now it only takes about 30 seconds.” —keith may

Get it from Amazon for $8.02.

12. A bestselling mesh br a if you’re a member of the itty-bitty titty committee who’s tired of not being able to find a comfortable yet supportive bra that doesn’t have a ton of padding or gapping cups.

Pepper

Pepper was launched in 2017 by two women who wanted to fill the (literal) gaps in the lingerie industry, working against the notion that if you’re skinny, you must have small boobs, and if you’re larger you must have big boobs.

My colleague Allison Jiang says this bra lives up to the hype. In her own words:

This bra solved just about every issue I had with bras in the past, like cup gapping, slipping straps, and scratchy underwire. The straps are thin but somehow so comfy and durable. They have not slipped down my shoulders, even once. Not once! And I never have to do that thing where I have to adjust the band in the front, because it stays put all day without pressing into my skin uncomfortably.”

To hear from more BuzzFeed Pepper fans check out our full Pepper bra review.

Get it from Pepper for $50 (available in band sizes 30–40, cup sizes AA–B, and in six colors).

amazon.com

Promising review: “I have a TMJ mouth guard that is about 12 years old, and nothing else I’ve tried had managed to clean it like this stuff. It didn’t take everything off the first time, but it makes a HUGE difference. Very satisfied.” —Sara Elizabeth Eaton

Get it from Amazon for $9.98.

15. A probiotic gel moisturizer so your parched skin can finally get the deep, all-day hydration it’s been craving, with a heaping serving of visible brightening and redness reduction on the side. Oh! Did I mention it’s ideal for those with sensitive, eczema-prone skin?

Biossance

Promising review: “I really love this moisturizer. I have combo to oily skin. I love how this is lightweight yet moisturizing. It sinks into your skin and does not sit on top like other gel moisturizers. It isn’t sticky either, which I highly appreciate. In the winter, I like to layer an oil on top and it does just fine. I do feel that it brightens uneven dark spots as well!” —Anonymous

Promising review: “Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, Benadryl, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine…nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He’s the happiest he’s been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats…he eats these every time so that’s an added bonus!” —Darcie Nation

Promising review: “I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase! I originally purchased because I am afraid of bees getting into my soda can while I’m outside. I didn’t know that it would also keep my soda airtight and leak proof — such an awesome bonus! I love that it came in a six-pack. I keep one in my purse for on the go!” —Carley Lesinski

Honeylove

Promising review: “I have been burned buying wireless bras in the past, and have gotten something that is worthless and resembles the thin inside bra of a bathing suit. This is different and in a good way. It is so comfortable, the fabric is thick, and the garment is well-made. I liked it so much that I went back and bought three moreand I’m planning to get another couple in different colors. Congratulations to Honeylove for making a product that actually does what they say it will.” —Ruth P.

Promising review: “This thing is amazing! It cleans grout and hard water stains with ease! I just cleaned the tile in my kitchen and look at the difference! I simply heated up a 50/50 solution of vinegar and Dawn, sprayed it on, then let this thing do the scrubbing for me! The whole kitchen took 10 minutes!” —Jc

Get it from Amazon for $23.

Promising review: “I used this product for my stove because it’s one thing I dislike cleaning. I have used multiple degreaser sprays and they all are so toxic and don’t work for me. The Magic Eraser was OK but I used several at a time and I had to scrub so hard. But this product oh my goodness, legit a miracle. It doesn’t have any type of smell. I put the paste on a cloth, clean the area then wipe it off with a damp cloth and voilà, magic!” —May

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

Promising review: “I am very impressed with this product. I was new to suede shoes and instantly regretted buying a gray-colored shoe once I got them dirty. Luckily I found this lovely thing. Very easy to use, straightforward packet comes with it that tells you which sides to use and when. I would definitely recommend this since you invest so much in those shoes you might as well keep them nice and clean!” —Celeste

Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

23. A bottle of all-natural stain remover to revive fabrics you thought were a lost cause with plant-based ingredients that are safe to use on everything from clothing and car seats to bed linens and cloth diapers.

amazon.com

Check out our full Puracy Natural Stain Remover review.

Promising review: “This is by far the best stain remover I’ve used yet. I have a one-year-old, and I’ve been treating his clothes since he started solids around six 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 its clean ingredients. Puracy, you have a forever customer!” —Hannah Weber

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in three sizes).

24. A super-convenient tofu press if you’re tired of spending more time tending to your tofu than you do your cat. This all-in-one system works in the fridge without you needing to come back and increase the pressure.

amazon.com

Plus, all the water collects at the bott om so there’s no mess and no need for paper towels.

Promising review: “I’ve been a vegan for 13 years and I can’t believe I went this long without a tofu press. So much more enjoyable cooking with tofu after pressing it. This press is different than all the rest as it has a tray that catches all the water. You can put the whole thing in the fridge and it’s hassle free. Take it out the next day and drain the liquid and you’re good to go. The other presses require a plate underneath and some require tightening and adjustments as it presses. I’ll admit after reading some of the reviews here of users with broken Tofuture presses I was hesitant to order but I’ve just been careful with mine and haven’t had any problems so far.” —Conner

Get it from Amazon for $26.95.

25. A powerful carpet cleaner for lifting those scary stains that make you question if it’s time to bring in the professionals. With this around you can get the job done yourself. And the best part? No rinsing or vacuuming required!

Promising review: “I am honestly and simply amazed by this product. It lived up to all it promoted. The true test was a long visit from my daughter who is highly allergic to my cat. Typically the visits are cut short due to constant sneezing or drowsiness from allergy medication. I’m sooo pleased to say she spent hours at my house Christmas Eve and never sneezed once. I spray often and especially before her arrival. Works like a charm!” —Of

Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

27. A sleek cordless water flosser so you can get your flossing done faster with a rechargeable unit that does all the hard work for you. It’s water-resistant so you can floss in the shower, doesn’t take up a ton of counter space, and when your dentist asks the inevitable “Are you flossing?” question you can proudly flash your squeaky-clean pearly whites.

Danielle Healy / BuzzFeed

After recently experiencing my first cavities as an adult, I decided maybe it was time to get serious about that whole flossing thing. A few personal barriers to that goal included the fact that I hate flossing, it takes forever if you’re doing it well, and regular floss is single use and potentially very wasteful. The answer? This water flosser. It’s certainly an up-front investment, but after several months of regular use, it seems like it’s built to last a long long long time (it looks no worse for wear after me dropping it several times). One charge lasts SO unbelievably long, and since I live in NYC and have approximately zero counter space, the fact that it’s so compact is a big plus. You have to refill the water reservoir once or twice per floss sesh, but it’s really easy and you don’t have to shut the unit off and on every time. My teeth feel super clean after using it and it’s really helped me build a better oral-hygiene routine that I don’t dread doing before bed.

Get it from Burst Oral Care for $69.99 (available in four colors).

amazon.com

Promising review: “After just about three weeks of use I’ve seen such a positive change in both the evenness of time and of the texture of my skin. Melasma and acne scarring have faded pretty dramatically — I don’t even bother putting on foundation when I do my makeup in the morning. The oil is so lightweight and doesn’t exacerbate my already oily complexion.” —L T C

Get it from Amazon for $8.92+ (available in three sizes).

29. A vegan ingrown hair oil that’ll work to treat and prevent itchy red bumps from infiltrating your pits, downstairs, or wherever you struggle with post-shave and -wax irritation.

Bushbalm

Bushbalm is an Ottawa-based small biz with a special focus on the pubic zone(s). Their result-driven collection of products targets such grievances as ingrown hair prevention, dark spot treatment, and razor burn relief.

BuzzFeed editor Katy Herman uses this to stay smooth after shaving:

“I just recently received a sample of this lovely stuff, which is from an Ottawa-based small business, and I have already seen a difference in how my bikini line looks after shaving! I always struggle with razor bumps in the down-there area specifically, but this oil helps keep it soft, smooth, and bump free! The brand recommends applying it right after getting out of the shower, and you can even use it to spot-treat ingrown hairs. I’m pretty ~scent~sitive to smells, and the tea tree scent is really lovely and refreshing (it smells like a spa)! I also love the pump-style dispenser, so I don’t make a greasy mess every time I use it — which, from now on, is gonna be pretty much all the time. I’m sooo excited to wear swimsuits this summer without all the bumps and irritation!”

Get it from Amazon or Bushbalm for $26.

30. A stackable bottle rack if you’re eager to finally take down the “DO NOT ENTER” sign on that one cabinet that’s guaranteed to pummel you with bottles and thermoses every time you open it.

amazon.com

Each rach holds three bottles, and each set comes with two racks that can be stacked one on top of each other.

Promising review:This was EXACTLY what I needed for bottle storage! It is perfect for almost every size I have: from shaker cups to the big 32-ounce Hydro Flasks. I cannot believe how well this worked in my cupboard. I’m thinking of buying more and trying them with kid’s sippy cups and traveling coffee mugs! Only thing that was different than I expected (though I frankly could care less) is that the plastic looked almost smoked or gray instead of clear. It’s in my cupboard so I do not care one bit, but if you’re putting it out on a countertop or something maybe you care. I would buy again, and probably will!” —MGSFamily

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six sizes).

31. A pack of AirPod-cleaning putty that’ll excavate all the gross gunk living in your earbuds so you can get back to clearly hearing every 👏 last 👏 detail 👏 of your fave true crime podcast.

amazon.com

Promising review:“I never usually write reviews but this is an exception. I’ve had my AirPods for over a year and when the sound quality was diminishing, I was afraid they had a short life expectancy and I would need to get a new pair! Even after using Q-tips to clean the AirPods out, I thought that was enough until my friend said there’s stuff built up that’s hard to see, but there was nothing able to get it out! Enter this product — it literally took five mins to clean each earbud effectively and instantly the sound quality was as good as new! Loud, clear, less trouble connecting to my phone, etc. I really suggest giving this product a try. SO happy I found a solution!” —Amazon Customer
