Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We have good water except for calcium content. Consequently we had a noticeable water ring in the most used toilet bowl. Happened to see this product on Amazon. I had my doubts it would work as any cleaner failed to have any affect at all on removing the water ring. I was pleasantly surprised how easily it removed the water ring without any scratches to the bowl and made the bowl look brand new. — Mike H.

Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have iron in my water. It’s ruined a lot of things. It’s been hard to keep sinks, tubs and toilets white until now. I tested this on a piece of plastic out of my washing machine that turned orange. No more orange. Back to white. Great buy. — Teresa Shankle

Just spray it on the stain and wipe. You won’t recognize your oven once you use this wonder-working product!

My wife just got through cleaning our oven and stove and was just again commenting on how good this stuff is compared to anything else we’ve ever used. This will be our go to cleaner! It’s just the best! — Richard C.
4. Amazon customers swear by this no-rinse evaporator coil cleaner. It will liquefy dirt, grease, oil, and other residues quickly and easily.

The product leaves the area deodorized with a pleasant lemon scent, which is the cherry on top.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I could not believe how good this product works! My dryer repair guy looked at my fridge coils after finding out that I had dogs. I was shocked at the amount of dust on them. He recommended this product and it works within seconds! — heyb
5. Cleaning hard-to-reach areas will not be a problem if you have this dryer vent cleaning vacuum hose attachment by your side. It can help you remove lint that has been accumulating for many years in the dryer vents, helping your appliance work more efficiently. The tool can get into curved corners, which makes it perfect for cleaning appliances that you can’t move.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I honestly had no idea that so much lint was stuck when I removed my dryer lint screen. It was deep down in there. I figured let me give this a try. It’s not expensive so if it doesn’t work it wouldn’t be a big loss. I hooked it up to my small car vacuum which took about 2 seconds. There was so much lint that the little opening kept getting clogged. So I would pull the lint off and go in again, and repeat. Once all the big chunks were removed it finished the job. I highly recommend this. — Eileen L

It removes hard-water deposits, rust, stains, and odor in the blink of an eye, eliminating the need for scrubbing. The product is safe for toilet tanks, bowls, and pipes. When you flush it, it leaves a pleasant citrus scent. Just look at the before and after photo collage below. It looks pretty impressive!
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ According to the instructions I was supposed to use the whole bottle but being that it was so big and that I had 2 toilets needing to be cleaned I only used half. Other than that I followed the instructions, stirring to make sure it was dissolved and then letting it sit overnight. I used a cheap (new) toilet brush from the dollar store to scrub the rust off the sides before flushing. I took these before and after photos to compare and I was pleasantly surprised. The toilet tank is from the 1960’s and I doubt it’s been cleaned within the last few decades. — Nicole
7. This carpet cleaning machine will finally remove all those stubborn stains that other products failed to remove. The appliance works perfectly well on carpets and rugs where pet messes happen, lifting dirt and dust that an ordinary vacuum cleaner may leave behind. Its compact design makes cleaning easy and convenient. This is a must-have for households with pets.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This cleaner is really lightweight and easy to use. It’s also very powerful and effective for such a budget friendly and small machine. This is perfect for area rugs. I imagine it would be less suitable for large carpeted rooms as it does need emptying and refilling frequently due to the smaller tanks. In addition, this model lacks an upholstery brush, so consider that if you are looking for something more versatile. Overall I would recommend this machine, it’s effectively cleaned and refreshed our area rugs that had gotten dingy and were holding pet odors. — Sll1977
8. Don’t miss out on this heavy-duty cleaner specially designed for cleaning brick and stone fireplaces. This safe and non-abrasive gel swiftly removes soot, creosote, ash, and all sorts of grime from your fireplace. Its concentrated formula can break through the toughest spots and works great on surfaces such as brick, stone, tile, and rock.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works really well, and it’s great that it’s non-toxic and non-abrasive. You can literally apply it with your bare hands. You do need to scrub it in pretty well after applying. And make sure to «rinse» the brick afterwards. It’s slow work, but it pays off. — Amazon Customer
9. If your hot tub needs cleaning, this hot tub cleaner is just what you need. It quickly and effectively removes residue from dirt, sweat, grime, and bath products. One bottle is enough for up to 2 cleaning sessions. Dirty filters and poor flow can negatively affect your hot tub. This product solves this problem, making your hot tub clean in about an hour.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our hot tub was so much grosser than I could have imagined. The amount of ick that this stuff got out of the jets was surprising. Honestly, it’s so embarrassing. I drained and cleaned the tub a few months ago but did not think to get this jet cleaner. I will not make that mistake again. The hot tub smells so clean now. I will definitely use this again next time I drain the tub. — Kaerlia
10. This electric high-pressure washer is a real hit on Amazon with more than 56,000 ratings. The appliance tackles a variety of cleaning tasks: homes, buildings, RVs, cars, trucks, boats, decks, driveways, patios, and more. It automatically shuts off the pump when the trigger is not engaged to save energy and prolong pump life. Its long spray wand guarantees extended reach for your ultimate convenience.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This power washer was easy to use and did the job well. I used it on my driveway, paver path and patio. The attachments for soap and the various angle heads snap on quickly and are conveniently stored on the unit.

Just apply the gel evenly on the surface you want to clean, let sit for 3-5 hours, and then rinse with water or wipe with a towel.
Promising review:
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was skeptical that this product would work because I have tried a lot of different things with no luck. After one application almost all of the staining is gone! I was also shocked that this product has no smell! No harsh chemical odor at all. I have a couple spots I want to treat again to see if I can get it completely clean, but my tub looks 100% better than it did before. It’s super easy to use. I’m so happy with the results. — Kerri

An Elderly Woman Is Turned Away from Business Class until a Little Boy’s Photo Slips Out of Her Purse
A poor old woman decided to fly business class to get closer to her son. However, she faced rejection from passengers on board until they discovered her true identity.
Rhea felt self-conscious. The old woman had gotten on the first plane to leave the airport that morning, and she sat in a seat in business class where the well-to-do folks stayed.
As she entered the cabin, nobody spared her a glance, but when she located her seat and sat, eyes turned towards her. The reason was simple; she stood out like a sore thumb.
Where the other men and women present all wore fancy and expensive-looking clothes, Rhea wore her old, broken-in clothes — it was her best, but it looked drab compared to what the others were wearing.
The man next to her had his face completely buried in a newspaper when she sat down, so he did not quickly notice her. When he put down the issue, he looked to his side and winced at her appearance, then he signaled a flight attendant.
“What is this?” he asked, pointing to Rhea.
The flight attendant looked a bit mortified at the man’s tone, but after verifying the woman’s seat number, she faced the man and replied, “This passenger took a seat according to the ticket she paid for.”
The man looked like he would vomit at any minute because of Rhea’s presence, and before he even proceeded to talk, he unfolded a pristine handkerchief and used it to cover his nose. Then he said, “I don’t know what’s on her ticket, but I bought a seat in business class to get away from people like her, now it just feels like I’m in a cheap alley with homeless people.”
The altercation had gotten the attention of many in the cabin, and some seemed to be in support of the man. One plump woman bedecked from her head to her feet in jewelry piped up.
“If I wanted to fly with such riff-raff, I would buy an economy class ticket,” she said, and a murmur of agreement moved through the passengers.
The murmur quickly took on a life of its own and soon led to a squabble the attendant tried to quell, but the rich folks would not hear of it — the woman had to go.
“Can’t you see she doesn’t belong here?” one man said.
“Is this how low this airline has fallen? How can such a person afford the bill?” another asked.
“We want her gone and we want a formal apology for allowing us to come into contact with such filth,” the man beside Rhea said.
He and a few other passengers were on their feet and refused to sit until they got what they wanted. Rhea sat there, listening to them arguing and trampling all over her dignity.
“I’m okay, this too shall pass,” she kept repeating under her breath like a mantra.
Still, she heard how they spoke of her, and it hurt her very deeply that people could be so cruel. Before she knew it, sad tears cascaded down her slightly wrinkled cheeks.
“Perhaps I’ll just leave,” Rhea thought, then started to gather her things with shaky hands.
As she stood up to go, she stumbled, and rather than catch her as instinct should have made him, the man beside her flinched away as if to avoid getting splattered with mud.
Rhea fell to her knees and inadvertently spilled the contents of her purse. She started to collect her things with trembling hands, knowing she was the focus of everyone in the cabin.
An expensively dressed old lady who had been sleeping peacefully until the ruckus woke her got up from her seat and also went down on her knees to help Rhea.
At that, the cabin went silent, and the passengers stared dumbfounded as one of them treated Rhea like a human. The first thing the woman picked up was a passport photograph of a little boy.
“Thank you very much,” Rhea whispered as she collected it from her.
“This is my son,” she said with a teary smile, still on her knees. “He is the pilot of this plane.”
“He must have grown up to become a handsome young man,” the rich old woman said.
“How could I know? I had to give him up for adoption when he was just five because I had no means to take care of him.” As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes, and the cabin remained silent.
“I’ve been looking for him for years but I’ve not been able to find him. Recently, I found out he became a pilot so I started to go from airport to airport looking for him. Today I found him but the only way I could get close to him was by boarding this flight.”
Rhea looked up at the people around, most of whom averted their eyes shamefully, then she continued.
“I’m sorry for making you all feel uncomfortable but I just wanted to be as close to my son as possible which is why I saved up my money to get this chance. The business class is closer to him and I’ve never flown before so I thought it would make a great birthday gift for myself.”
The passengers listened to her story, and by the time she stopped talking, many were crying. Rhea got up eventually and went with the flight attendants, who were hell-bent on introducing her to her son.
“What if he doesn’t want to see me?” she asked, resisting their urging. “What if he hates me for abandoning him?” Before the flight attendant could speak, the man who had been against her sitting beside him beat her to it.
“You had no choice, I believe he will understand that,” he said before quickly diving behind his newspaper again. He was also ashamed. Rhea left with the flight attendant to finally meet her son.
After some time, a man’s voice was heard on the plane. “This is the captain speaking… there is a special person flying on this plane — my mom, and it’s her birthday today.”
Everyone applauded the old lady, and those who had ridiculed her before apologized for their mistake. When the plane landed, the pilot, whose name was Joseph, met up with his mother, and finally, after many years of estrangement, Rhea held her son again.
What did we learn from this story?
Choose to be kind. When the man beside Rhea started to clamor for her to leave the cabin, others joined in, and even though the woman had done nothing, they may have succeeded in making her leave. The only person who did not do what they did was another old woman. She stood up for Rhea even though she could easily have just joined the haughty passengers, and her decision changed everything.
Never give up. Rhea looked for her son for years but could not locate him; however, that did not stop her. She kept looking, and she was ready to do anything to meet him, including saving up her hard-earned money for an expensive business class flight. Her perseverance and sacrifices were rewarded in the end, and she was able to meet him.
