Promising review: “These exceeded my expectations. They obviously won’t be as absorbent or soft as Bounty, but for bamboo, they’re amazing! Go look at other bamboo paper towel reviews; you’ll quickly realize that these exceed the quality of any others. They’re strong, lint-free, and clean well. Yes, they’re not that soft, but they’re not wiping your butt, so you’ll be fine.” —Summer Wilks 

Price: $14.99 for a six-pack (also available in a two-pack)

Use a UV blacklight (as shown above) to find urine spots you didn’t even know were there!

Promising reviews: “I was skeptical at first, my cat peed on my couch and I had tried everything else but the smell was still there. I saw an ad for this and was completely surprised it worked so well! I sprayed my couch and wiped it down and the smell is GONE! Worth every penny!” —Amy

“I love my dogs, stink and all. But I get embarrassed when non-dog owners come over, and my house smells like pond. Y’all know what I’m talking about. I keep a clean house, but I can’t afford the water to wash their beds every week. I decided to try Angry Orange, and let me tell you, it works. Just two sprays on each dog bed, and the odor was gone. Also, four hours later after the orange smell had dissipated, still no doggie smell. ” —ocdmax

I bought this for my white porcelain kitchen sink and I’ve since texted five people about it, which is really a lot for such a boring grown-up product. It cleans beautifully, but the *best* thing about it is its ability to repel stains after cleaning. You know that thing when you rinse out your coffee cup and the coffee water just lingers in your sink and you have to purposefully rinse it out for two minutes? You don’t have to do that — the coffee can’t stick to the sink and just goes RIGHT down the drain. Time saved, sink clean — this is really a Virgo dream product right here.

Promising review: “Holy banana peppers! This stuff ROCKS! I hate cleaning. You clean, stuff looks okay and smells nice for like an hour, and then it’s as if you’ve never cleaned. We have a deep stainless steel sink that I love, except for the cleaning. It never looks clean, so cleaning it isn’t exactly rewarding. I mean, I clean it because germs, pandemic, etc, but I don’t like anything about it. I saw this on some BuzzFeed “things you should buy on Amazon” and ordered it. And ignored it. Now, as there’s a quarantine, even as an essential worker, I really have no excuse to not clean. Sigh. I splooshed some in the sink, like I did with Barkeeper’s Friend liquid, and scrubbed away as usual. However, when I went to rinse, it was all sparkly and shiny and the water beaded up! I seriously made my husband and daughter come into the kitchen to look at my sparkly sink! This is the cleanest this sink has ever been, and I seriously LOVE this product! Off to order more before you all read my review and discover its true awesomeness. I didn’t take any pictures before because why the hell would I do that, but believe me, the difference is amazing!!” —Amazon Customer
