Promising review: "Read about this on BuzzFeed and was skeptical, but decided to try it. Used about a teaspoon on my brand new glass cooktop that was already showing marks (that wouldn't buff out with the glass cooktop cleaner). They came right out. Also pulled stains out of my white ceramic bathroom sinks. Excited to try it on more stuff!" —Amelia F

Promising review: "I saw this advertised on BuzzFeed and didn't completely believe the review, but for $5, what did I have to lose? It is AMAZING, best mascara I've tried and I've tried my fair share. It's not too wet, not too dry, and doesn't make my lashes stick together. It's really just the best ever. Buy it, you won't regret it." —janine t

The biodegradable packet cleans/scrubs away at grime and odor that cause buildup and yucky smells on sidewalls, blades, under the splashguard, and other hidden areas. They come in pre-measured drop-in packets and are recommended to use about once a week!

Promising review: "I purchased this item after seeing it advertised in a BuzzFeed article. I was skeptical at first because you take one of the packets (without opening it) and put it in your disposal. I personally had doubts that our disposal would be able to break the packet down effectively. But, it worked perfectly fine! I can see why a lot of people have recommended this product because the packet and the foam really do help eliminate lingering odors. As it was running for about 1–2 minutes foaming/cleaning, I was grossed out that I could smell the gunk and hidden odors that were trapped in there. It's recommended to clean once a week and I think I'll definitely keep up because the sink doesn't smell like death and decay anymore, ha!" —Ashley W

These tablets remove odor-causing residue and help get rid of lime and mineral build-up that naturally occurs inside dishwashers. The tablet is designed to last throughout the entire wash cycle, and is recommended for use about once a month. These are safe to use in stainless-steel tub and plastic tub dishwashers.

Promising review: "I've seen this item on soo many BuzzFeed lists, so I figured I would try it during one of my cleaning sprees. Wow, does it really work! I don't use my dishwasher often, so it often gets a little crusty-looking...but I just threw one of these tablets in there and ran a normal cycle and it got rid of all the yucky stuff! It's super simple to use and leaves your dishwasher fresh and clean, without any leftover residue." —Christine Doan

Promising review: "Just received this item after reading about it multiple times on BuzzFeed. I’ve never made an effort to exfoliate beyond a sugar scrub, but my new waxer said it was essential. This product is great. It removed more dead skin than I thought possible and left my skin soft and looking refreshed. I do have sensitive skin, so I was careful to follow the instructions as written and had no skin discomfort or reaction." —Katherine E.

This spray is ideal for all hair types and has tons of reviews from folks with 2a–4c curls who absolutely swear by it!

Promising review: "Honestly, I bought this after seeing it featured in a BuzzFeed article. There's a reason it's so highly rated! I have no clue how to care for my child's curly hair since mine is stick straight. This spray helps her curls reform and be less frizzy. It smells nice, her hair stays soft, and doesn't seem like it's weighed down by the product. I also like that this works to help the tangles of my straight-haired kid, too. I'll definitely purchase again!" —Meadow

Promising review: "I impulse purchased a set of four after reading about these in a BuzzFeed article. I am so shocked at how well they perform! It feels like I just had a dental cleaning every time I brush now. My teeth feel slick and smooth all the way to the gum line. I’m even reaching those tricky parts in the back. I’m a habitual floss pick user, so I sort of floss but it’s not perfect. I can already see the difference in my gums after using this toothbrush. My husband has a Sonicare toothbrush, but he tried one of these because I was raving about it. He hasn’t used the Sonicare brush in over a week! He did complain his gums were sore after the first two brushing cycles but he lightened the pressure and hasn’t had a problem since. I usually press a bit too hard and have to replace my toothbrush every month or so because the bristles are so bent. With this brush, though, it’s been almost a month and everything is still perfect. Maybe I’m consciously not pressing as hard, but I don’t feel like I have to. I do recommend making sure you move it up and down, not just back and forth or in circles. That seems to really get the best results for me." —Youngs

Promising review: "This was on a list on BuzzFeed for things that you have to buy on Amazon if you have a pet. We used to spend at least an hour every few days vacuuming hair (one dog and one cat) from couches and cloth surfaces. Total pain. We used a number of attachments with limited success. We bought this thing and it gets 95% of all the stuff on the couch in 25% of the time. Simple yet extremely effectively designed product. Highly recommend." —Chris

All you have to do is put one of these babies in like you would with any other K-Cup, brew one large cycle, watch dirty water get cleaned out, throw the pod away, run a water-only cycle, and then return to brewing your faves.

Promising reviews: "I heard about this product from BuzzFeed! I noticed my coffee did start to taste bad, and wondered what would happen if I tried it out. The ease of use is spectacular. I saw the Keurig brand kit you can buy from Target and it just seemed so confusing. With this, you literally brew it like you would a normal cup of coffee, and dump it out. It worked like a charm. I used two cups in a row until the liquid came out a little transparent, and now my coffee tastes great! I’m definitely planning on using this longer term, every few months to keep my Keurig clean. Who would’ve thought you need to clean the inside of a Keurig? Get this! It works!" —Amazon Customer

It's recommended to change the spikes every 30 days during the spring and summer months!

Promising review: "Read about these on BuzzFeed and can honestly say they're easy to use and work. Just stick them in and water. My poor plants looked like they were on their deathbed and now look great. They've perked up and have new growth. I wish I bought these years ago, I could've rescued a few plants. Will definitely buy again." —Dee

These hydrocolloid dressings contain a hint of tea tree oil, calendula oil, and cica. The ingredients in this are gentle and ideal for all skin types and tones!

Promising review: "Thanks to BuzzFeed, I found out about these powerful little patches! I have sensitive skin and have been hard-pressed to find any good spot treatments until Avarelle! The patches are made up of natural ingredients so they don't irritate the skin. I usually put one on before bed and by morning, that sucker is gone (truly, it's a miracle). For the deeper zits, it takes maybe two to three patches but it even gets those ones and leaves my skin blemish free — we all know how bad it looks when you try to get those ones out yourself. Yikes! I highly recommend for all to try." —Javier

Get a pack of 40 from Amazon for $8.49.

Promising review: "This tool is awesome!! I bought it on a whim after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article as I’m never able to fully clean my Wet Brush. In seconds, my brush looked good as new!! Super easy to use and clean and it is small but very sturdy. Definitely recommend!" —Jennifer Anderson

Get it from Amazon for $11.95.

This is good for cleaning pores and removing blackheads!

Promising review: "I saw a ton of reviews for this on BuzzFeed. I'm a sucker for face masks so I thought I'd try it. It's definitely different! It was fun to goop on and yes, it does bubble. I left it on for 10 minutes or so and my face felt super clean and refreshed when I wiped it off. Will definitely use again!" —Elba G.

Promising review: "I don’t usually write reviews but after my fourth bottle I felt it was needed. I have very sensitive skin so much so that using the wrong product will leave me with hives for days. Additionally, I have struggled with dermatitis, strawberry legs, and ingrown hair on my legs for years. For a long time I couldn’t shave. I hated showing my scarred, itchy legs — nothing helped and most products made it worse. I purchased this KP scrub after seeing it in a BuzzFeed article. I was hesitant at first because it is a little pricey for such a small bottle, however it is totally worth it! I have gone almost a whole summer without having any dermatitises or my regular issues, and using it in tandem with an exfoliating mitt helps make it last longer and I think work more effective, and it doesn't bother my sensitive skin at all. If you on the fence, please take my advice and buy! It is worth it!" —Vern

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "Holy cow. This is the BEST product ever. I have been seeing it on BuzzFeed for months and I kept telling myself that I did not need it, but I was wrong. This is absolutely worth every dime I have. I work in a kitchen of a restaurant and sweat, sweat, sweat all day and my eyeliner is STILL PERFECT at the end of the night. I am honestly so so beyond impressed and I have already recommended this to everyone." —Kitkat36901

Get it from Amazon $14.97 (available in three sizes).

Drill Brush is based in New York — its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.

It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW, the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!

Promising review: "I have spent a lot of time trying to scrub the mold and mildew off my bathtub by hand, but to no avail. Then I saw this product advertised on BuzzFeed and thought I'd give it a try. It's less than $20 and worth every penny. I highly recommend this product if you have a good drill and a dirty bathroom." —Stephen T. Shore

Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in several brush stiffness levels).

Promising review: "Found this on a BuzzFeed list not long after we got a waffle maker, which we use weekly. I was so excited when it arrived and after about a month of use, still super happy! It’s sturdier than I expected and doesn’t feel like it’s going to crack or break. Easy to use, easy to clean by hand or throw in the dishwasher, and my counter is splatter-free now when we make waffles. It’s also easy to make batter the night before and store in the fridge! If you’re on the fence about this one, just go for it. 👍🏻" —Meagan

Get it from Amazon for $16.50+ (available in two colors).

Features cutlery icons for easy identification. They recommend to wash and dry this by hand!

Promising review: "Love this utensil organizer! We bought our first home and didn’t realize our current organizer was too large for the drawers. I couldn’t find one I liked in store. Saw this one came highly recommended in a BuzzFeed article and so happy that I did. It’s small, fits perfectly in my drawer, well-built, and holds all of my utensils. I have recommended this item to a few family members. 10 stars!" —Nicole Thompson

More than 4,000 hook and loop micro-hooks cover the full 18-inch span of the snake. It's reusable! Just remove hair after use, and clean with soap, water, and a brush. It's compatible with most bathroom drains, without needing to take off the stopper.

Promising review: "The reviews were all correct! Bought this after seeing it featured on BuzzFeed. This cleared out our bath drain and was delightfully gross in the process. I've used Drano for years, but I'm never going back after buying this." —Sam

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

This fits any standard 1.5-inch tub drain or bathroom sink drain. But, if you want to keep your hair catching separate between your tub and sink, then treat yourself and your home to the SinkShroom!

Promising review: "I saw this product on a BuzzFeed list and had to give it a try. I have two daughters with thick, long hair, and I have long hair, too. I was tired of constantly having to clean out the drain in our tub/shower. This product works great! It stops the vast majority of hair going down the drain. Now I only have to clean the drain once every six months or so, if that." —Kelly

Promising review: "I suffer from migraines and tension headaches, so when I saw this in a BuzzFeed article, I was curious but skeptical. Bought it months ago but just started using it. This stuff is AMAZING. It doesn’t fully get rid of my headache, but it dulls everything enough that I can function. I could have saved myself from so many lost hours of work and overall miserableness if I would have started using this sooner." —Meghan Powell

Promising review: "I saw this honey in a BuzzFeed article and I’m so glad I did. I use this honey on everything — waffles, as a glaze on chicken, in lemon tea. The options are endless. Nice flavor with a little heat that’s not overwhelming." —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $9.66.

Promising review: "I bought this after seeing it on BuzzFeed. I thought the price was low enough to try. We live in a house from the 1950s and the bedroom is on the complete opposite side of the house. The house is very dark at night. We put this in the bathroom to give a little light (thereby avoiding our bright light and fan switch). It works great. It changes colors and is bright enough to use at night but isn't blinding. We are going to get one for the guest bathroom as well. Great buy!" —SR

Promising review: "I recently bought these anti-chafing bands after seeing them mentioned a few times in various BuzzFeed Shopping articles. I took a trip to Paris and decided to buy these after being on the fence — I knew we'd be walking around the city a ton. I've struggled with Swedish Fish-red thighs when I walk long distances, and the various powders/lotions I've tried hadn't been doing it for me. I bought these and WOW, do they work! My thighs were comfy and secure and I walked MILES in these. (My BF also thought they were pretty sexy, so added bonus.) If you experience painful thigh chafing, these are for you!" —Shelby

Get them from Amazon for $20.69 (available in 15 colors and sizes S–3XL).

Promising review: "So BuzzFeed brought me here, but I almost didn't buy it because the reviews and comments said it made a ridiculous noise for the timer. Super loud. Scared the crap out of everyone. Couldn't turn it off. Can confirm that it does not make an awful sound. It sings you a cute little song. Not scary. I made six eggs as soon as I unpacked it a few minutes ago. Get the egg maker, it sings to you when you're sad and makes you omelettes." —Madi King

Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in eight colors).
