There’s no way this rust remover wasn’t brewed up by a witch — it’s that good.

I'm a resident writer on the Buzzfeed Shopping team, where my love for shopping (and doomscrolling on TikTok) helps me curate lists of the most trending lifestyle, home, beauty, and fashion products.

Promising review: "Wow. Don’t waste your time with any other formulation that you found online. I’ve literally tried EVERYTHING! The soap/vinegar/baking soda, the expensive store-bought 'hard water cleaners.' I’ve scrubbed for HOURS! But this…. This product is like magic. It’s kind of like a paste that you can rub on with a microfiber towel, and the hard water stains literally just RUB OFF. Like butter! Seriously, the easiest option I have tried yet. I stopped within the first five minutes of cleaning to do this review because I’m in shock lol. Coming from someone who never writes reviews! Take that as a sign to buy this immediately. What a game changer, I’m mad I’m just now finding this stuff lol!" —_kayla_carter

Just spray on (don't add water until you rinse!) and wipe. 

Promising review: "This stuff is the bomb! I can't say enough good things about this product. I got my stove top as clean as it was when new — the area around the burners had been impossible for me to get clean before. I also cleaned the inside glass window of the oven with minimal effort. Seriously, this stuff is amazing IMO." —Kim M.

Promising review: "The only dish soap allowed in my household 😅 jk I have used other different types, and this is the only one that has worked amazingly in all my cleaning. Not only do I use it on my dishes, but to clean my bathroom, husband's grill, and everything else that needs a good cleaning." —Lizbeth LF

Get the starter kit (with one reusable spray bottle and one refill) from Amazon for $8.44.

Promising review: "I seriously can't believe how well these little tablets work. I had the most disgusting Hydro Flask coffee mug; I tried everything — bottle brush, different kinds of soap, vinegar, EVERYTHING — and there was still a seemingly impenetrable layer of black sludge inside. It grossed me out so much that I bought ANOTHER Hydro Flask to replace it. Eventually, they both got black inside, so I tried these little magic tablets. I let a tablet sit in each of my mugs for an hour or two, and the black sludge rinsed out COMPLETELY, without even scrubbing. They look brand-new. What a magical product. No weird smell or taste afterward, either. I liked it so much that I used it on another Hydro Flask, which I use primarily to hold my Bloody Mary mix in the fridge. I couldn't put anything else in it because it would always taste like spicy tomato juice. Bottle Bright to the rescue! No residual smell or taste anymore. AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Changed the oil on my girlfriend's car and some oil spilled on my NEW driveway...which I didn't notice 'til four days later. Four spots, all about the size of a dollar bill, baking in the Arizona sun for four days. Found this searching on Amazon, and I thought, whatever. That's one less vodka soda tonight for dinner. Put the stuff on (sits on the stain like pancake batter — don't be afraid to pour liberally) and let it sit from 6 p.m. 'til about 9 a.m. the next day. It dried, and the instructions said to just sweep the stuff up (right, like I am not going to need a scraper and wire scrub pad for an hour. HA). Well, it broke apart with the broom, and the stains were gone. I just swept up the powder pieces — it took about a minute. I WAS SHOCKED! Something that actually works on oil and is easy. Absolutely NO sign of anything that was there. My driveway is smooth concrete, so I can't vouch for what would happen with a rougher surface, but whoever makes this stuff is a genius. If they tried to take on World Peace, Earth would be a better place." —AmazonBob

Get it from Amazon for $17.97+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This thing is the greatest invention since sliced bread! It actually works! And it works great at cleaning all my screens, from the small motorhome screens to our large patio screen. We live in southern Utah, where the red dirt/dust is everywhere, and this simple tool takes the work out of cleaning screens. My secret to using this tool is to have a bucket of sudsy water to dip the head into occasionally as you run it up and down and side by side. No streaks, no dirt, no fuss; plus it's gentle on the screen." —KarenLynn

Includes a wand, storage caddy, and six disinfecting wand head refills.

Promising review: "This toilet cleaning system is a lifesaver! The disposable scrub heads are preloaded with cleaner, so I don’t have to deal with messy bottles or dirty brushes. It’s super easy to snap on, scrub, and toss away when I’m done. I love how fresh and clean the toilet smells afterward, and I feel better knowing I’m not leaving a germy brush sitting in the bathroom. It’s quick, convenient, and really effective — definitely worth keeping stocked up!" —DestinyDezere 

"Love this thing! I just got it today not even 30 minutes ago and went straight to my bathroom to clean. For one, I'm so happy i got to throw away the old brush it was ugly, exposed, and I feel even smelly but this you can use and toss! I love how pleasant it smelled and how soapy it really got and I was able to tackle every space even around the bowl. This thing is 10/10. My restroom toilet looks so much cleaner and shiner." —Marisol

Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" —DayDreamer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color packs).

It can be used on stainless steal, cast iron, solid surface, granite, acrylic, and vitreous china. 

Promising review: "I only WISH I had waited to use this until I could have taken a 'before' pic to go with the 'after' one of my 14-year-old sink. This cleaner is incredible. My cleaning person came on Wednesday, but the sink still looked dingy on Thursday with some persistent areas of discoloration and staining. It gets a lot of hard use. Now, five minutes following application of the product with a sponge, a bit of a scrub, and a quick rinse, it looks new. I’ve ordered this for both married kids for stocking stuffers. WORKS as promised. Not kidding. Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t just done it myself and seen the eye-popping results. Quit reading reviews and BUY this stuff! (Read the cautions carefully regarding what kinds of surfaces are appropriate for use of the product and which ones to avoid, but on regular stainless steel sinks, it’s honestly perfect.)" —EdUK8

Get the 8.5-ounce size for $9.95 or the value size from Amazon for $29.95.

To use, apply to the stain, gently agitate with your fingers, and blot with the absorbent cloth. This is nontoxic and should be nonirritating on the skin!

Promising review: "This carpet spot remover is a total lifesaver when you have puppies or senior dogs at home. It works fast on stains, lifting them out without leaving residue or strong odors behind. I’ve used it on carpets, rugs, and even upholstery, and it cleans everything from pet accidents to food and drink spills. The spray bottle makes it easy to apply exactly where needed, and the included cleaning cloth is a thoughtful extra that helps get the job done quickly. It doesn’t discolor fabrics and leaves the surface looking fresh again. Overall, it’s powerful, reliable, and a must-have for pet owners who need quick and effective cleanups." —Angie Sutil

Promising review: "Works like magic. There's a reason for all the positive reviews. I've never seen any product work so effortlessly and live up to its claims. With just one round, no scrubbing, just spray and wait, this removed four years of deep rust stains from my bathtub, leaving it clean, bright, and spotless. Worked just as well on the toilet and sink. I'm beyond impressed. You can't go wrong buying this amazing rust remover." —Deadat57

Get it from Amazon for $6.88+ (available in three sizes and multipacks).

Promising review: "I cannot believe how well this worked. I am a CLEAN FREAK, and my nasty bathtub would literally keep me up at night. I tried every product on the shelf, and nothing worked. I literally scrubbed until my fingers were raw and still got nowhere. I sprayed this bad boy TWICE on the mildew stains and now they are COMPLETELY GONE!! I am so happy, relieved, and thankful, but also mad that I didn’t know about this product sooner. I absolutely, 100% recommend, and I would give it 10 stars if I could!" —Mackenzie Mayock

Promising review: "We moved into our house a year ago, and I’ve been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. I’ve tried everything — store products, DIY solutions, Pinterest recommendations, you name it. As a last resort, I got this, and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first, and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds, letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad; it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." —Britney Phillips

Promising review: "Very satisfied. I tried everything to remove black mold with no success. This product actually worked to remove the black mold. I applied the gel on the mold and left it sit overnight. I was amazed the mold wiped off with a rag." —Robin S. Johns

The plant-based, lavender-scented cleaner comes with a microfiber cloth for you to use on your appliances, and reviewers say you only have to use a little bit of the cleaner to clean your entire fridge or oven, which means one bottle will last you a really long time.

Promising review: "This stuff works great... and that’s coming from a clean freak. This cleaner/polish works awesome on stainless steel and any other material that the appliance is made of. It comes with a high-quality microfiber cloth, and it smells good. A little goes a long way, so it lasts through daily use." —RMK

Get the set of cleanser and polish from Amazon for $19.95+ (also available in a larger size and two-pack).

Promising review: "I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't cleaned my microwave in about six months. It's an awful task. I ran Angry Mama one time, wiped down easily, then ran it one more time to get it really clean. Highly recommend using it more often than once every six months for a super fast, super clean microwave!" —Kelsey

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four colors).

It only takes 15 minutes to clean — just run the water, pour it in, and turn the jets on!

Oh Yuk is a family-owned small business based in Minnesota that specializes in PhD chemist-formulated cleaning products for home appliances, from dishwashers and washing machines to hot tubs and jetted bathtubs. 

Promising review: "This stuff is great! We just bought a house, and my hubby cleaned the jetted tub twice with a strong bleach solution. I bought this product based on the reviews and tried it after. Look at the crud that came out of the jets. Now, our tub is all sparkly and clean! 😊" —Becky

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

You may need a few applications at first if your bathroom has stubborn grime. Once your shower is clear, just spray this once a week to keep it sparkling. 

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out, and then I will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D. 

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two scents and two sizes).  

Check out a TikTok of the Sqeezy in action. 

Promising review: "The 'abrasive sponge when cold' or 'squishy when hot' is an awesome feature for the type of scrubbing you want to do. The Pink Stuff with the sponge does wonders! We have a hideous 30-year-old shower and although it doesn’t look brand-new like I was hoping, it’s 10 times better!! This product really does work!" —GreenGoddess

Get the set (one Pink Stuff jar and a "Sqeezy") from Amazon for $10.04 

The two-speed runs for about three hours on a single USB-C charge. It comes with seven scrubber heads.

Promising review: "I recently got this handheld cleaning brush, and it made cleaning so much easier! It has two speed options, a clear battery display, and charges quickly with a USB-C cable. The multiple brush heads are great for different surfaces, and they’re super easy to swap out. I also love that it’s waterproof, so I can use it in the bathroom without worry. Overall, it’s lightweight, simple to use, and gets the job done. Highly recommend!" —Mplat

Promising review: "If you've seen this on TikTok or Instagram, the hype is real. I work as a nurse, and the times I have worn my ring... the hand sanitizer can be ruthless on the diamond shine. This pen was just what I needed to make the stones sparkle again. Just follow the directions and you're golden." —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $9.48+ (available in four pack sizes).

Promising review: "This is a wonderful product. I have an older dog who can't always wait until I get home from work, so accidents occasionally happen. I have a Hoover Rug Scrubber, and this product is very easy to use with my machine. Carpet Miracle works amazingly well on stains and odors, even those that have been set for a while. I did the carpet in the 'room of shame' twice just to be sure, although for normal soil and odors, once should be more than enough. It leaves behind a wonderful, clean, fresh scent, and the carpet feels and looks wonderful. I plan on continuing to use this product to keep my carpets clean and my home smelling fresh." —Vicky Faurot

Promising review: "It is very uncommon for me to write a review, but this product is amazing. My family's silverware had not been polished in the 15 years since I married my husband. The only time I ever polished anything before it was messy and smelly and took forever. Therefore, I didn't have any interest in polishing something that we weren't using. I decided to try these wipes because the price was reasonable. They are easy to use and do a wonderful job! The silverware looks silver! I used four wipes to polish a service of eight, and it took me about 20 minutes. I highly recommend this product!" —Kehrli

Promising review: "I have a golden retriever and the shedding is out of control. My fabric sofa is constantly covered in hair and I finally decided to try this after reading an article about popular TikTok products. The reviews do not lie, this thing works magic!! I wish I had taken a before and after picture because the difference is noticeable. I watched the video tutorial before I tried it to ensure I was using it properly and everything he says is true, you do really have to put your arm to work with vigorous back and forth movement! However, I find it's a great arm workout and it works wonders." —Joanne Ertel

Promising review: "WHERE HAS THIS BEEN ALL MY LIFE???! Holy cow, I didn't realize how easy and quick it was to clean a garbage disposal until I bought this product! Typically, I'd just use vinegar and baking soda down the drain and call it good. I didn't know that there was an actual disposal cleaning product available until I stumbled across it through a BuzzFeed article. I had to try it. The instructions are very simple. It literally takes five minutes and some hot water, and VOILA! you have a clean, no-longer-stinky garbage disposal. Any time I got a whiff of an odor, all I did was drop one of these packs in the disposal,l and the smell was GONE! Plus, the blue foam bubbling in the sink was amusing to watch. Worth every penny!!" —VadersGirl

Humble Suds is a small biz based in Denver, Colorado that sells plant-based cleaning products. 

Promising review: "I was ready to buy a new leather living room set since my current one was weathered and scratched by the cat. Decided to try this product after seeing it on Google and it revived my furniture like I never would've imagined!! Love that it is natural and safe for a curious cat!! Five stars!!" —Shannon M. Campbell

Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $24.95.

Promising review: "I am so surprised by how well this works! I had washed my washer with bleach the week before and then saw this on Amazon decided to try it because of all the good reviews. I could not believe all the black mold that came up into my washer from using one of these tablets! My washer smells so much better and it’s so much cleaner now! I see they have one for the dishwasher I’m buying that next!" —Catherine A.
