33 Products That Are So Affordable, You’ll Wonder What The Catch Is (Spoiler: There Is No Catch)

1. Some Gold Bond’s Age Renew Neck & Chest Firming Cream if you just realized that your 10-step skincare regimen has one glaring oversight: something for your décolletage! The formula includes salicylic acid, glycerin, aloe, and hyaluronic acid, the combination of which gently exfoliates dead skin and then improves the appearance of your skin’s texture and elasticity with a boost of hydration. 

Promising review: “My dry neck and the annoying itchiness I used to experience have completely gone away after using this cream. It’s not only soothing, but it also feels like it’s really nourishing my skin. The firming benefits are a bonus! I highly recommend this product to anyone dealing with dryness or discomfort in their neck and chest area. It’s become a must-have in my skincare routine.” —JAcosta

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a two-pack).

2. Some Catrice “Instant Awake” Under Eye Brightener — a hyaluronic acid-enriched color-adaptive formula that’s ready to neutralize bluish under-eye shadows and dark circles. Tap it on with your finger or a sponge, and you’ll suddenly look like you slept a full eight hours.

The color-adaptive formula is designed so that one of four shades will work on any skin tone.

Promising review: “Took years off my eyes! This product is so reasonably priced. I came across a TikTok promoting this and decided to take a chance since the price was super reasonable. My eyes looked brighter in a good way, and the concealer worked so well that I felt I looked younger. I got compliments from friends asking what I did differently with my makeup. I recommend it.” —Monica T. 

Get it from Amazon for $6 (available in four shades).

3. Lottabody’s Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse to help define your curls without frizz or a crunchy cast. Reviewers agree it works wonders for all sorts of styles, be they twist-outs, braid-outs, roller sets, or simply a curl refresh between wash days.  

Promising review: “I have super frizzy, curly hair and live in New England, where we have super humid summers. I have been struggling to find a product that de-frizzes my hair without making it look oiled down, and this is it. I put it in my wet hair after washing, towel-dried, and put my hair in a ponytail to go to work. My hair was frizz-free all night — even working outside in high humidity. People even asked if I did something to my hair! This is an amazing product for the price. Absolutely buying again and would recommend to anyone with a frizz issue.” —Marissa

Get it from Amazon for $4.20.

4. Nivea’s Skin Toning & Firming Gel Cream — a magical potion enriched with Q10, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin C. PSA: This *will not* work miracles overnight, but reviewers who used it consistently noticed improvements in the firmness of their thighs, biceps, stomachs, and necks!

Nivea recommends applying twice a day for best results. Read more about how Q10 can benefit the skin from the National Library of Medicine.

Promising review: “I’ve been using this for a few years and love it! I had loose skin after losing weight, and this gel has been a game-changer, with noticeable improvement in my skin’s texture and firmness in just a few weeks. I use this gel on my thighs, stomach, and underarms. I pair it with Nivea’s body lotion for the rest of my body. A little bit goes a long way, so the bottle lasts a while. I switched over to another gel for a month a bit ago, and I noticed my skin returning to uneven firmness and texture. Once I went back to using this product, I noticed improvements within a few weeks again. So, this isn’t a cure, but with continuous use, results are maintained to keep my skin firm, moisturized, and even textured.” —Morgan

5. tinted lip balm reviewers confirm is just as good as Clinique’s $25 “Black Honey,” but you’ll get two for just $9! You can stow one away for later use or even bless a friend with your bounty.

Here’s what BuzzFeeder Emma Lord has to say:

“I bought this because I crave that Black Honey and will buy it until the day I die, but I am always paranoid of losing it, so I almost never let it leave my bag. I have tried probably five or six “almost” versions of Black Honey that came close, but this one genuinely spooked me. It has the same easy glide, the same buildability, and the same refreshingly hydrating effect. It was a two-pack, so I gave one to my BFF, another Black Honey fan, who also could not detect the difference!”

Promising review: “Better than Clinique! I bought this one on a whim, but I never liked the real Black Honey Almost Lipstick by Clinique, since it tends to run red on me. In my opinion, this shade is exactly what Black Honey SHOULD be, as it looks more like Black Honey in pictures. For the price, it can’t be beat, so I’m buying more.” —HAC

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (also available in the pink honey version, and in a two-pack that mixes both!).

6. A tiny 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler that can help with motion sickness, morning sickness, queasiness, and migraines. This is a non-medicated, non-drowsy solution meant to provide immediate relief when sniffed or applied to the tip of your nose. 

Check out a TikTok of the nausea relief inhaler in action.

Promising review: “Took this on my first cruise. Anytime that I started to feel woozy, I’d reach for it. I’m sure the required act of deep breathing helped a lot — and breathing in the fragrance of the essential oil is very calming and effective. Worked for me! Wonderful!” —Willy&Lilly

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $12.99 (also available in a pack of four).

7. An instant foot peeling spray if your heels are so thick rn, you’re simply too embarrassed to go to the nail salon (you can still go!! but I understand). This DIY solution works in a matter of minutes; just spray it on, rub your skin in a circular motion, and watch it pill off. 😱

PS: Each bottle has enough for 50+ applications.

Promising review: “This product delivers exactly as promised and is incredibly easy to use. I suffer from dry skin and often apply various products to soften my feet. With this, I simply spray it on and immediately massage it in with my hands. The dead skin comes off effortlessly. There’s no waiting time, and it’s gentle on the skin. It leaves my feet feeling exceptionally soft. This has quickly become my new favorite thing.” —KimT

Get it from Amazon for $5.48.

8. “flossing toothbrush” with two layers of bristles. One layer being regular firm ones, and the other being longer ones that are ten times thinner and mimic floss as they get between your teeth but are gentle on your gums. Take that, dentist!!

Emma Lord / BuzzFeed

Mouthwatchers is a small business established by Ronald Plotka, DDS, that specializes in antimicrobial toothbrushes designed to get deeper cleans that even patients with “great” dental hygiene might miss with traditional brush and floss routines.

BuzzFeed Shopping writer Emma Lord says, “I personally bought this and love it! I use an electric toothbrush usually, but I feel like I’m getting a much more satisfying clean from these?? Especially because I tend to get yellow stains between my teeth no matter *how* much I floss, and these bristles seem to actually target that a lot more effectively.”

Promising review: “I’m a dental hygienist of 16 years and typically use and recommend electric toothbrushes; however, this manual toothbrush is great! My teeth feel very clean after brushing for two minutes, similar to the way they would feel after using my Oral-B or Sonicare electric toothbrush. I’ll definitely purchase again!” —Beth

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.90.

9. A limited edition Eos Marshmallow “Super Balm” lip treatment that might just have you licking your lips the same way your dog does when you give peanut butter. Reviewers say it smells and tastes that good!!

Promising review: “My new must-have! My number one go-to for healing lips was Carmex. This beat it. I love the consistency (very creamy/smooth), it’s not heavily flavored or goopy, and it obviously smells amazing. It isn’t overbearing and also doesn’t keep coating your mouth like the Eos stick balms (still great, but more wax).” —Breanah Shirazi

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (also available in Strawberry Acai).

10. K-Beauty brand The Saem’s Iceland Hydrating Eye Stick — it improves under-eye elasticity and keeps bags at bay, so no one will be the wiser if you nostalgia-binged The Angry Beavers (my fellow ’90s babies — it’s on Amazon Prime!!!) into the wee hours of the morning. Plus, it comes in a cutesy polar bear container and, I mean, that’s enough to sell me.

How does this cute lil’ guy work, you may be asking? It’s filled with active marine ingredients like Icelandic moss, xylitol, niacinamide, and adenosine — that’s how!

Promising review: “A staple in my beauty regimen! I use this every single morning after washing my face to help de-puff the bags under my eyes. Works almost instantly. Doesn’t have a strong scent. I love that you don’t have to keep it in the fridge/freezer to get that cooling effect, as it already glides on cool to the touch. It applies smoothly and doesn’t have a strong scent. I will be reordering as soon as I am out. 100% recommend.” —Gina B.

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in a collagen formula).

11. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles gel stamps that gradually dissolve with each flush to keep lime scale and toilet rings to a minimum, because the less you have to manually scrub your porcelain throne, the better.

Promising review: “I’ve used these for years. No mess and doesn’t get on your fingers or hands, easy to put together. I slightly push against your toilet bowl wall where the water will hit it when it flushes, and it helps with odor and a little cleanliness with every flush. They last quite a bit, depending on usage, and there are six units in each tube. Cap securely goes on when you’re done, and it does not dry out.” —Tammy W.

Get it from Amazon for $5.25 (comes with one dispenser and six gel stamps).

12. Venus Visage Teeth Whitening Pen ready to brighten your smile by four to eight shades with regular use. Whether your stains are due to coffee, tea, more coffee, wine, yet more coffee… or soda, this is sure to help. 

After brushing and flossing, you paint your teeth with the pen (each pen contains about 20 uses), wait for 30 minutes, then rinse!

Promising reviews: “I have to say, I was skeptical about this product from all the TikTok hype about it, but after trying it out, it really does work. This was super easy, didn’t hurt my teeth at all, and didn’t taste much different than my regular toothpaste since I got the mint-flavored one. I used it for a few weeks before my brother’s wedding, and it worked like a charm. I noticed visible results in only a couple of days and was able to keep using it until I reached my desired shade of white. 10/10 would recommend for anyone with sensitive teeth and tastes!” —Victoria Bravo

Saw this on BuzzFeed — they were right! It’s easy to use and actually works. I was so surprised at how well this pen bleached out some coffee stains on my teeth after just one application. I’ve tried Crest Whitestrips, and this is better because you can get in between the teeth.” —CS

Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available individually or in packs of two or three).

13. Some redness-reducing Lumify Eye Drops that work in just 60 seconds! Whether you spend a lot of time in front of a computer, have seasonal allergies, or deal with contact-induced irritation, these are a game-changer.

Learn more about different kinds of eye drops and what they can do at Cleveland Clinic. Note that eye drops can potentially mask symptoms of eye conditions, so you should talk to your eye doctor about what’s right for you. And according to Mayo Clinic, you should avoid redness-reducing drops if you’re looking for dry eye relief.

Promising review: “I have a big spot of blood vessels in the inner corner of my left eye. I use the expensive lubricant eye drops for moisture — I’ve used Visine, Clear Eyes, you name it. No eye drop has made my eyes look this great. Only Lumify! I was soo happy when I looked in the mirror and saw some beauty in my eyes instead of darkness and redness.” —Angela Leonard

Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

14. Some Dawn Pumpkin Spice Powerwash Spray (yes, I said PUMPKIN scented!) to help cut through grease and caked-on messes — be they on your dishes, countertops, stove, etc. If you/your partner/roommate/dishwashing pal have a tendency to let things “soak” overnight, gift yourself a bottle of the good stuff.

Promising review: “Dawn has done it again with this spectacular product to do your dishes with a scent of fall. I love it! Highly recommend it for all fall lovers. It makes doing dishes not feel like a chore.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $5.94.

15. Elizavecca’s Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment, which works just like a hair mask to repair your locks in five minutes flat. The ceramide 3- and collagen-packed formula repairs all types of hair, whether you’ve got over-processed tresses or 4c hair that’s susceptible to dryness. Reviewers even say the $8 product is comparable to Olaplex No. 3!

Promising review: “THIS STUFF IS AMAZING. Super easy to apply. I have fine, curly hair, and it leaves my hair glossy and soft without weighing it down. Works better than any Moroccan Oil, L’Oréal, or Briogeo product I’ve used and is wayyyyy cheaper. Gifted a bottle to a friend with very thick, curly hair, and they said it works amazingly on them, too. Just do it once a week and you’re set!” —Mid-west

Get it from Amazon for $7.60.

16. Dr Teal’s “Cozy Vanilla Season” Epsom salt magnesium soak — a limited edition blend of vanilla, spice, and vetiver essential oils that’ll help you brush off the Sunday scaries this fall.

Promising review: “Love this Warm Vanilla scent! Warming fragrance lingers even as it dissolves well in the bathtub. When I looked at the fragrance components, I was doubtful I would like it, but the combination does impart a warm vanilla scent.” —Erma

Get it from Amazon for $5.87 (also available in two other scents).

17. pack of medicated bandages laced with salicylic acid to target both common warts and plantar warts. Just reapply every 48 hours until your wart is no more. 🥊

Promising review: “Works great! Had a wart on my toe for a year, and this killed it within a week or so. I changed out my bandage in the morning and at night. It hurt a bit after the first few days. The first top layer of the wart was able to be pulled off around day four. Then I kept treating it because I saw more ‘roots’ and ‘seeds,’ if that makes sense. It was especially sensitive when treated the second time because of the fresh skin being exposed to the medicine on the bandage. Today, on day maybe nine or ten, I was in a lot of pain and lowkey limping around the store. So when I got home, I checked the wart’s progress, and I was able to squeeze and rip off the top of the wart and peel off the skin around it. Now I see just fresh skin and nothing else!!! Besides a very tender toe, I’m happy! I’ll make sure to update this review if the wart grows back, which I’m thinking won’t happen. Buy this!! Totally worth it!!” —Avi

Get a pack of 14 from Amazon for $7.29.

18. A tub of The Pink Stuff, which can clean anything you throw at it, be that shower fixtures or toothpaste-covered countertops. 

Check it out on TikTok!

And here’s what BuzzFeeder/The Pink Stuff fan Heather Braga has to say:

“After hearing what incredible things The Pink Stuff can do, I finally ordered it and tried it for myself. Honestly, wow! It really does work wonders. I tried it first on my Le Creuset cast-iron pan and was really amazed at how just one pass with The Pink Stuff (and a scouring brush) took off almost every stain! I can’t wait to try it on literally everything in my home that needs a deep cleaning.”

Promising review: “For those who gave less than 5 stars…what were you trying to clean? I had built up grease on the backsplash behind my stove that I hadn’t noticed, which had probably been there for years. I’ve tried pretty much every product on the market — they didn’t work. This product took that grease off within seconds. That worked so quickly. I was so happy that I started cleaning other items: the stainless steel sink, oven, and microwave. This is the best thing ever — and if they increase their price to $50, I’ll still buy it. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.” —RVT

Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

19. Or some of the brand’s all-purpose floor cleaner if you’re already a fan of the paste and could use some of the same magic on your stained tiles, linoleum, vinyl, and laminate.

Promising review: “I’ve been using Stardrops Pink Stuff Miracle All Purpose Floor Cleaner for a few weeks now, and I’m genuinely impressed. It works really well. It’s so easy to use, it tackles dirt, grime, and even sticky residue on my hardwood and tile. It’s powerful yet gentle, has a pleasant scent, and is a great value; a little goes a long way. My floors look amazing, and it’s become a staple in my home. Highly recommend!” —Meghan

Get it from Amazon for $6.98.

20. A rapid relief fungal nail renewal treatment that can address discoloration, brittle nails, thickness, roughness, and ridges, so you can get those pups ready for you next pedi in no time. And by no time, I really mean no time — it starts working in as little as 48 hours.

This product has the APMA Seal of Acceptance!

Promising review: “I’ve been dealing with a bad fungal nail for about three years. I’ve been trying to use products off the shelf and bought one here, you know, the ones with the brush. It never worked ’til I bought this one. Let me tell you, it only took just under a week to see GREAT results. It’s pretty much gone, and it’s been less than two months. Buy it, and don’t think about it! You won’t regret it!” —itslilac

Get it from Amazon for $16.97.

21. Good Molecules’ Wake Up Eye Gel, which targets dark circles with the aid of antioxidant-rich yerba mate, caffeine, peptides, and three forms of hyaluronic acid. Pat in a pea-sized amount and voila!

Promising review: “Amazing price! Amazing hydration! I used to have an issue with my concealer creasing and looking dry, and this was life-changing.” —Sandra

Get it from Amazon or Ulta for $6.

22. Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray — a magic, nontoxic, biodegradable formula ready to handle literally anything you toss its way, even set-in stains! Reviewers say they’ve used it on everything from berries and curry powder to blowouts and spaghetti sauce. 

Fellow BuzzFeed Shopping editor Heather Braga is a huge fan of this spray: 

My 1-year-old is a big ice pop fan, so I’ve got a long life ahead of me to be filled with stain removal. I held her while she sucked down a red ice pop on a 90-degree day, and naturally, it dripped all over my white tank top (note to self: stop wearing white around these kids). I was actually kind of excited because it meant I got to put my newly purchased bottle of Miss Mouth’s Messy Eater Stain Treater Spray to the test! I followed the directions on the bottle that said to dampen the stained area, spray it with the stain remover, then pop it into the washing machine as usual. What do ya know — it really worked! Completely cleared away all the red stains! Not sure what witchcraft has been used to make this product, but I’m here for it.”

Promising review: “My 1-year-old has taco meat stains ALL over the sleeves of his shirt. The stains were 2–3 days old, too. I sprayed the shirt, let it sit for about 15 minutes, and then washed the shirt with regular laundry soap. Almost every bit of the stains came out. Definitely buying bulk in this product!” —Sloan Avery

Get it from Amazon for $7.97 (available in three sizes and multipacks).

23. Monday Haircare Dry Shampoo so you can hit snooze on your alarm clock but still leave the house with office-presentable hair. The formula is keratin-enriched (which helps protect your strands from damage) and features the brand’s signature gardenia scent.

Check out a TikTok of the Monday Dry Shampoo in action.

Promising review: “I was thoroughly impressed with this dry shampoo. It’s affordable, effective, and everyone compliments how great I smell when I use it. Two bottles lasted me a few months. It does have a white cast, but that can easily be worked into the hair to become undetectable.” —Meg B. 

Get it from Amazon for $5.99.

24. A plug-in insect trap that can contend with mosquitoes, gnats, moths, and fruit flies because if they’re not eating you alive, they’re messing with your plants and produce, and you won’t stand for it!!!! If you live in a rental, it’s a true godsend for those weeks between visits from the exterminator.

PS: If you need refills for an existing Zevo, these ones are super affordable and compatible!

Promising review: “This really works for us! We live in the country, LOTS of little bugs where we are. Originally bought this to catch the houseflies that have been really bad the last two summers. And while this has helped with that, the majority of bugs it catches have been little things following the light into the house at night, little grass bugs, MOSQUITOES, little flying things, and so on. It works SO well, I have been changing the little sticky thing every two weeks or so, which seems like a lot, but it gets full of bugs! Definitely would recommend it if you are out in the country like me!” —Cait Keene

Get it from Amazon for $19.97.

25. set of reusable microfiber mop pads (yes — they’re compatible with your Swiffer) so you can say goodbye to those single-use ones that are 1) Expensive and 2) Not great for the planet. 

They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you’re so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up to 100 single-use pads. PS: Turbo Microfiber is also a small biz!

Promising review: “Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet, and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. Seriously, buy these now!!!” —AKGross

Get a set of two from Amazon for $16.89.

26. Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion, because the days are getting shorter and your summer glow is fading fast. This moisturizing formula gives you a natural-looking bronze *without* the dreaded self-tan smell. 

Promising review: “I’m really impressed with this product. It’s very easy to apply, the same way you would any lotion. It absorbs quickly into the skin. There is a very light, pleasant fragrance. I had no issues with the application or streaks. The tanning lotion gives a nice bronze appearance to the skin, which is what I was looking for. The sunless tanner allows you to continue to build the color until you reach your desired look.” —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.39 (available in Fair to Medium, Medium to Deep, and several sizes).

27. foaming drain cleaner if you’ve got a sensitive schnoz and your sink has been smelling… off… lately. One reviewer says they used a single can on five different sinks, so you can go wild and make a night of cleaning every drain in your home.

Promising review: “Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited to use a cleaning product before. Who knew you could get so much satisfaction from a drain cleaner? I could probably make an ASMR video and post it, as it is that satisfying! Even though I had to angle this over my sink drain to avoid the low faucet, it worked perfectly. The foam went down the drain and up through the overflow, bringing lots of black, yucky gunk with it. I have used lots of drain cleaners before, but not one that actually came up through the overflow. I’d never even considered what stuff was in there. It did a great job of cleaning everything out, and it left the sink smelling fresh and clean as well.” —Amazon Customer 

Get it from Amazon for $15.98.

28. bottle of wood polish and conditioner that utilizes beeswax to restore tired antiques, furniture, doors, and trim. If you’ve left a whole lot of cup rings on your coffee table (I mean… who can be bothered with coasters??), then this will become your BFF.

Promising review: “Works like a charm, magic touch!!! I accidentally over-scrubbed my cabinet doors and did not know what to do. I tried this product, and it worked, and all the scratches are gone. Such an awesome helper. 👍👍👍” —Emily

Get a bottle on Amazon for $9.98.

29. A three-pack of Dr. Scholl’s reviving foot masks with Epsom salt, shea butter, and a nifty self-heating design so you can treat your tootsies to some TLC.

My colleague Emma Lord loves these! Here’s her review:

“I’m a long-ish distance runner, and these were certainly an interesting experience for my feet! You slide them on and, after a few minutes, feel a tingling, mildly burning (in a good way) sensation. It doesn’t quite numb your feet, but it relaxes them. I kept them on for 30 minutes and then toweled my feet off, and the tingling sensation slowly faded over the next 30 minutes. After that, my feet felt very refreshed and relaxed at a time of day when they’re usually aching from all the miles I put in. The whole thing was a mess-free, easy process, and I will definitely keep them on hand for longer run days!”

Promising review: “Really makes my tired feet feel much better. I’m a nanny who works nine-hour days and is on my feet for most of it — lots of times barefoot. These even help my feet the next day! Lasting relief.” —Lynn Crofton

Get it from Amazon for $11.97.

30. Some piercing bump solution to help heal and reduce the size of pesky keloids, so you don’t have to give up on your brand-new piercing. (Been there, done that, and I know it’s devastating. 😭)

FYI: This product does not promise to work overnight. Apply this daily 2–3 times a day as long as needed. Also, talk to your doctor before attempting to treat your keloid on your own, and learn more about keloids from Cleveland Clinic.

Here’s what BuzzFeed contributor Jordan Grigsby has to say about this small biz product:

“Oh! BTW, I bought this. Last year, I got a dermal piercing on my chest, and since literally just about every piercing I’ve ever gotten has grown a keloid on it, I should have known my dermal would eventually, too. I got the piercing in February of 2023, and around May, I noticed a nasty, stubborn little bump making a guest appearance on my piercing. 🙄 I had written about this stuff a few times, so the light bulb went off and I immediately bought it. I consistently used it twice a day, and it gradually disappeared, literally like magic, within a month. Keloids are a serious nightmare, and I’m so glad that I found this stuff. I even *accidentally* ripped it out in November and immediately grabbed this to prevent a keloid from forming, cuz I just knew it’d get infected. To my surprise, no keloid, nada. You do have to be patient and consistent. This is NOT an overnight miracle, but it’s worth it. I also suggest that you continue to use it for, like, another week or two, even after your keloid goes away juuust in case it tries to sneak back into your life. I haven’t had issues with my piercing since and no more have grown.”

31. kojic acid dark spot-removing soap you can safely use on your face, hands, neck, bikini area, inner thighs, and underarms. The vitamin C + E, retinol, collagen, and turmeric formula not only goes after uneven skin tones but cleanses and hydrates while it’s at it. 

Promising reviews: “I got this in hopes of lightening my dark inner thighs. It’s been a month of using the bar every time I shower, and I see drastic results already. I was a bit suspicious if this would actually work, but if you are on the fence, please take this as a sign to get it and try it out. I’m so excited to see how I look in a few months from now because this thing works, and it works fast!” —puppbear

“I started using this product one month ago. I use it all over my body, and it lightened my underarms just in time for spring. I wish I knew about this sooner.” —Michaella Leyein

32. nonabrasive cooktop cleaner with a cleaning pad and scraper that can get rid of burnt-on food, water stains, and persistent grease splatters that have seemingly been there for years. 

The heavy-duty formula — from small biz Cerama Bryte — works on glass, ceramic, induction, radiant, and halogen stovetops.

Promising review: “When we moved into our current rental, it was clear that the previous tenants didn’t maintain the glass cooktop of the stove. I’ve tried many other products and a lot of elbow grease to clean it myself, but nothing has helped, until this product! I saw it featured on a recent BuzzFeed article about superior cleaning products, and I’m so glad I did. This is the only thing that worked, removing years of baked-on filth.” —James

33. A cleverly designed 4-in-1 gap cleaning brush so you can give your Stanley a comprehensive clean for… oh, the first time ever. Trust that I’m not judging — the nooks and crannies on that lid are no joke.

The bottle brush head can be rotated 360 degrees, and it also features a U-shaped silicone cupping brush, a stranded slit brush, and a stiff bristle corner brush.

Promising review: “I have a number of Yeti and other lidded mugs, cups, and glasses I use at the office and clean out in the communal break room sink. I could see a buildup that I just couldn’t get to in the lids, and it was grossing me out! This little tool does the trick! It gets in between the rubber ridges in the rings, all around the lip of the cups and lids, and cleans everything from milk residue to lipstick smudges. I have been using it five days a week for several weeks now, and no signs of wear on the tool. Cleans up great, dries well, does the job.” —Alfie
