Promising reviews: "This has been one of the best cleaning purchases I’ve made. I have a toddler, a baby, a German shepherd, and an American bulldog, plus we live in a rainy area, so our furniture gets put to the test. This machine has cleaned literally every fabric I’ve tried it on, from our cloth couch to upholstered furniture, and it keeps everything looking brand new. It’s surprisingly tough on dirt, muddy paw prints, spills, and everyday messes, yet easy to use. The tanks are a good size, it’s easy to carry around the house, and the suction leaves fabrics drying much faster than I expected. I also highly recommend picking up the Bissell cleaning solutions because they make an even bigger difference in stain removal and leave everything smelling fresh. If you have kids, pets, or just want to keep your furniture looking new, this is absolutely worth it." —Liked & Linked

"Cleaned and took the pet smell away. Also easy to handle." —gram

Promising reviews: "This was super easy to put together and it holds everything I need it to hold! It’s sturdy enough to sit on which is fantastic!! It’s small enough to sit on the porch and not be in the way!!! It looks good and holds everything I need it to hold for my outside plants! It’s also light enough to move if needed!!!! So incredibly happy to have it!" —Spunkygirl83

"Easy to put together and well made. Great for storage on swim spa supplies like goggles and cleaning products. Holds a lot." —P. Klayh

Promising review: "Mom lifesaver. We rent a house that has textured tiles and is a HUGE pain to mop. I can't use a sponge mop, and running around with a dripping yarn mop was a nightmare. This mop was a game changer. I can mop all over the house, spin out excess water, and keep going! Also saved me when my daughter's bathroom toilet overflowed. I was able to clean up the water without having to use towels. Just tossed the mop head into a bleach wash and good as new. I recommend this mop to everyone I know." —Samantha C

Look, I traditionally have hated cleaning the floors, but I'm being totally for real with you when I say that this makes everything (ESPECIALLY MOPPING) way easier on my poor chore-adverse psyche. I've got enough to do in my day without adding *deal with gross mop water* to the list, and this eliminates the need for that completely. 

Promising review: "Wow, after having a baby, this vacuum has saved me sooo much time. I love it." —Amazon Customer

It can be used in pretty much all machines — Hoover, Bissell, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, Carpet Express. The solution works on all water-safe surfaces like carpets, rugs, furniture, and automobiles. Plus, it's biodegradable and nontoxic.

Promising reviews: "Cleaned my carpets beautifully. Scent is natural and fresh. No remnant of pet odors or stains on rugs in pet areas. Highly recommend!" —Amazon Customer

"Have two little dogs and wanted to refresh the area rug and couches in our living room. I own a Bissell Big Green Machine and I have used many different brands of carpet cleaning solutions over the years. This product appeared to do a really good job with my carpet cleaning machine. Nice scent, not overpowering. And did not appear to leave a residue behind. Definitely cut down on the dog odor. Per instructions, you run machine with cleaning solution on the first run. Then, run a second time with just hot water. Would definitely purchase again." —Happy Customer

Promising review: "I wasn't expecting to fall in love with a can organizer rack. In fact, I even thought I'd return it if it didn't meet my needs. Well, weeks later, it's one of my most favorite organizational pantry pieces, and everyone's getting one for Christmas. The setup was extremely easy. The back and sides fold open, and then you hang the racks on, fasten the row separators, and place the rubber end caps on the sharp pieces. No tools required at all. It holds 36 regular cans — four in each row. OR you can store the fat/large cans three to a row. It's extremely sturdy even when packed to the brim. I was really surprised at what a quality piece this is. Adding the rubber end caps and stoppers for the bottom was a nice touch. I love the fact that each row has its own adjustable 'lane.' This keeps the cans rolling forward nice and orderly (no bumping into each other) and can be adjusted any way you need to fit the cans you are storing. If you love to organize and have a good-sized canned food surplus, then I highly recommend getting this one." —Happydance

Promising review: "This Pink Miracle is just that! A miracle worker! My kids leave their sneakers filthy, and I have to wash them often; for that, this product is fantastic! However, I just found something else they work fabulously on, ballet slippers. Yup. My daughter is about to switch from full slippers to half soles, but needed to get the recital out of her current slippers. I honestly did not want to spend $30 for just one performance, but her slippers were filthy. I decided to try the Pink Miracle on them and risk if they got damaged. Well, I added pink miracle to the brush with water and began to scrub the soles carefully, and voila! Perfectly clean soles and tops! I cleaned the leather tops with a cloth. Saved me $30! Love this stuff, a little goes a long way." —Soleil

Promising reviews: "I don’t usually get overly excited with candles, but I love this candle! I have two dogs and two cats. No matter what I do, the house always has a telltale scent. I lit this candle and could tell a noticeable difference within 15 minutes, and no cheap, waxy candle odor! I’m definitely ordering more!" —Lynda Gale

"I immediately fell in love with the odor control these candles provide. Yes, the price is high for a candle, but this one is great at eliminating both pet and cooking odors. I got the lavender green tea scent — to me, this one smells like lavender soap (so a clean fragrance). Also got the bamboo watermint, which has a very light fragrance and is barely noticeable, but still effective (so if you are bothered by heavy smells and perfumes, the bamboo watermint may be one to try). I will definitely order more. Everyone in the house likes the smells — even our super-sniffer that is turned off by a lot of odors." —Amazon Customer

Promising reviews: "This is a must on baby registries!!! I have tried a handful of options, and by FAR this is the BEST!!!! It has saved me time with the after-bath clean up and mess! I love it!! Wish I would have found it sooner!!" —sj8687

"If your child is like mine, then you probably have 10+ toys for bath time. This basket makes it so much easier for space and convenience. Before I was tossing the toys in the sink, but that wasn’t working out. Don’t hesitate. This helped me organize my little ones' toys and saved me space and time to get them organized once bath time was done." —louie

Promising review: "These Iris brand containers are really nice! The plastic walls are the right thickness which makes them seem strong, sturdy, ready to last. And, there are four locking latches on each lid. One thing I REALLY LIKE is that there is a foam "gasket" on the underside of the lid perimeter. After you place the lid on the box and apply the latches, the lid becomes sealed to the box. I bought two sizes of these to store tax documents and letters in my attic, so I needed a storage containers that would "seal" thereby preventing bugs, dirt and humidity, etc. from entering the containers. You really get what you pay for- so skip the cheap containers and get these IRIS containers instead!" —Florida Guy

Promising review: "I have two messy kids and two indoor/outdoor dogs that Never. Stop. Shedding. This is handling it like a champ. Yes, I need to maintain the roller (because there is an unholy amount of hair in my house). That is fine. It pops out super easily, I detangle it, pop it back in, and she's good to go. It has saved me so much time and kept the floor so much cleaner than I've been able to. I am so glad I decided to pick the Eufy. Sure, it doesn't have a fancy app, but you know what that means? No more screwing around trying to troubleshoot an app. That alone will save me hours per month. Yes, she bumps into things, but she gets the job done. I'll happily get a little agility training in dodging a vacuum that helps me clean the house." —Aonadharcach

Promising review: "I really had a hard time believing for the price and design, this was gonna help me with my pet hair problem. I was desperate for anything as I was choking on dog hair after waking up every morning. I tried it on my couch, which I spend hours vacuuming, thinking it was going to be a let-down. I open the chamber and sweet peas and rice...the amount of hair it pulled out of my couch was astounding. I spent the next two hours using it on my couch and my room rug (which is also vacuumed twice a week), holy crap, buckets, it’s the most amazing thing of all time! The amount of dog hair I pulled actually helped with the smell, I kid you not. I get my workout for arm day all done after about an hour, and my furniture feels so much better! I would love a carpet version, so I’m not on my hands and knees with the hand version, but until that day comes, I’m still using it lol. It’s durable, no mess, no stupid fly sticky tape garbage that picks up nothing. Easy to clean and store. Love this product!" —Amanda Watkins

Puracy is a family-owned small business dedicated to creating natural and organic formulas that are not only effective but also safe for kids and pets. Aside from food stains, this spray also does a number on all other miscellaneous spots in your life, like wine, coffee, makeup, and period blood!

Promising review: "I was intrigued by this product; it has good reviews. But I had tried other products that had not worked for us. So I decided to try it. We have laundry every day. Our special-needs boy drools on his shirts, and many detergents do not completely remove the stains. Always having to leave clothes in soapy water overnight that can fade the clothes, and some stains still won’t come out. I decided to leave them pre-treated for up to eight hours (max). I sprayed the solution on his shirts and scrubbed them mildly with a gentle brush or an old toothbrush. Leave it on the washer overnight and turn the washer on the next morning. To my surprise, all of the stains were gone and the colors were bright. I was in disbelief, so I did it again with black clothes and washed them with Woolite dark colors (my regular detergent for blacks), and they came out really nice and dark. My son had sensitive skin, and I was afraid it would be a problem, but he is not affected by it, and I love the scent. I thought the price was a bit high, but it had saved me from buying new clothes. I think it is worth the price if it can save some of our favorite pieces of clothing." —Jenni

Promising reviews: "We have two long, fine-haired cats in my house, and this thing works SO well that even people with serious cat allergies have NO issues in my home when they are here. Excellent for cooking smells, too. I fried bacon for breakfast, and the thing turned on high until the smell was gone from my house! So goooood! During prime allergy season with pollen or with dust, not an issue. Put the machine in your bedroom! It's quiet! And you'll sleep with less or no congestion. We loved ours so much, we got another one! Haha, worth the price." —Hannah

"The odor filter is a big plus for me since I have a dog. It noticeably reduces pet smells and general room odors. Changing the HEPA and carbon filters is quick and easy, and while replacement filters are an ongoing expense, the overall build quality makes it worth it." —Lucky Flowers

Check out this TikTok of the Folex Carpet Spot Remover to see it in action! 

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how well this stain remover works. I used it on a few spots on my carpet, and the stains started lifting almost immediately with very little effort. The spray bottle is easy to use, and a small amount goes a long way.I also like that it doesn’t leave behind a sticky residue, and the carpet felt clean after it dried. The scent is light and didn’t linger, which is a nice bonus. For best results, I gently blotted the area with a clean cloth after applying the product. The 32 oz bottle provides plenty of product, making it a great value for households with kids, pets, or everyday spills. It’s now one of the cleaning products I like to keep on hand because it’s quick, effective, and easy to use." —The Marnie Edit ✨

Promising review: "This dustpan/broom actually works better than any I bought previously. I have a home with four pets. Needless to say, I have lots of pet hair. This broom was able to sweep my Persian carpets easily. In fact, it’s the only broom that has ever cleaned pet hair off my Persian carpets. The teeth on the dustpan were deep and cleaned the broom well. I would highly recommend this set to anyone with pets, a hair salon, or who just wants a great broom dustpan set." —andrea burkholder

Promising reviews: "Purchased this as a Christmas gift primarily to tackle cat litter spillover onto hardwood floors. So far, it has worked remarkably well. We no longer need a dust pan and bin in that room. Suction is more than sufficient and noise no worse than average handheld Dustbuster." —Mark M.

"Where was this 30 years ago? I absolutely love this. For someone who needs clean floors but with pets, kids, and just dust, it’s impossible without vacuuming daily. Now with my EyeVac, it’s literally seconds, and I have clean floors all the time. Worth every penny!!!" —Rhonda Laguna

Promising reviews: "I am so happy with this product! I have a small dog with digestive issues, and she leaves us 'gifts' from both ends. These pads eliminate the need to get down on my hands and knees to scrub! I love that. There is no residue left behind, just a fresh-smelling clean spot. I have yet to see any of the spots reappear, which also makes me very happy! I've also used these pads to remove yellow mustard stains from a white carpet! I highly recommend this product!" —D. Gilles

"We have many cats, and this is, hands down, the best product we have ever used. So simple to use, you literally open the package, put it on the soiled area, step on it, and then pick it up 24 hours later. The area is clean, with no signs of stains, and smells pleasant. I've used it on fresh stains and older stains, and it works just as well on both. This product has saved so much time and cleaning effort that I'll be recommending it to all my friends and family. Already purchased a second case to have on hand." —Mina

Promising review: "Pet odors can be a persistent challenge, but the Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator takes on the task with remarkable success. Its ability to eliminate odors rather than just masking them is a testament to its effectiveness. For pet owners seeking a reliable and powerful solution to keep their homes odor-free, this product offers a game-changing answer. The convenience of a citrus deodorizer that targets even the toughest smells is a true blessing for those who share their lives with furry companions." —bratton423

"Originally bought this to sweep up pet hair. It was remarkable! We no longer have a pet, but we still use it daily to sweep dirt, sand, etc. from the floors. Also, use it on area rugs in between vacuumings. Best all-around broom you will ever own! Great purchase even if you don’t have pets." —Moe

Promising reviews: "Miss Mouth's messy stain treatment is magic!!! As a mom to a 10-week-old, we have had to use this product several times per day for various stains, and it has been incredible. There has not been a single stain that this product was not able to get out! It is easy to use, so easy to bring with you on the go (we keep it in all our diaper bags!), the packaging does not leak, and it again works so well!!! Highly recommend this to any other families out there with little ones!" —Kelleen Wegener

"What sets Miss Mouth's Messy Eater Stain Treater apart is its effectiveness. It's remarkable how effortlessly it removes a wide range of stains, including stubborn ones like coffee, grease, and even red wine. With a newborn, we've had our fair share of formula and baby food spills, and this spray has not disappointed in removing those stains completely." —Hunter bottoms

Promising review: "As a dance mom, you never know where you're going to get stuck steaming your kid's costumes. The long cord saved me as I needed to hang costumes from a doorway and was quite far from the plug. Five stars for the long cord!! Warms up quickly and cools down just as fast. Once you dump the water out, no worries, as it cools off by the time I make it back to her dance bag. I can steam about six costumes per max fill." —Chrissy Quintana

Saw the great reviews for this cleaner, stepped out in faith, and ordered two bottles, and now everyone we know is ordering this after seeing the 'after.' REMARKABLE. Works on the dash, steering wheel, cloth seats, carpet, trim, and paint. I sprayed it onto the carpet in the cargo area, immediately scrubbed with a heavy brush (no long wait time), and the stains were literally gone. I will never be without a bottle of this!" —ginlj

Promising reviews: "This bottle, pump parts washer, sterilizer, and dryer saved my life. If you have a small kitchen or want to save time while washing, sterilizing, and drying bottles, this is definitely worth considering. It doesn’t take much space and is easy to carry. I have been using it every day for almost a year, and it still works very well. There are two wash cycles: Rapid takes 19 minutes, and normal takes 29 minutes. Sterilizing takes 10 minutes, and drying takes 60 minutes. It fits up to eight bottles, including both small and tall bottles." —Celine

"I’m officially 10 days postpartum, and all I can say about this product is THANK GOD! I run this machine on average three times a day! If this thing were to break down on me, I would literally cry.

Promising review: "With a toddler, two dogs, and wood floors, this is one of the best purchases I have made in recent memory. It's surprisingly powerful for a hand vac, and it saves me from having to drag out the full-size vacuum. I also love the lithium battery. It is so much better and more convenient than a Ni-Cad. It retains full power until it is discharged. I use it in the car, stairs, and all around the house, and it never loses suction." —dhj

Promising review: "This comes in handy! From my baby dropping things to him throwing things as he got older. Easy to use. Wipe down and make sure it dries before he sticks it back in his mouth. He’s thrown pacifiers, toys, and bottles, and this has saved me. I use this for other things as well, such as wiping tables or chairs. The towels are small, so I have to use a few. I have some that have been opened and forgotten about and are still moist. Love that it’s fragrance free and doesn’t leave a sticky residue. Towels are on the smaller and thinner side, but it does the job." —Mimi
