Also great for glass doors. It cleaned everything! Love it!" —Amanda Nichols

Promising review: "Most amazing teeth whitening concept yet! These little paint on, teeth whitening gel wands are so wonderful! I bought them on a whim thinking it would probably be more waste of money, like so many other teeth whitening devices I have tried. Although these probably have not whitened my teeth as quickly as some other things, their ease of use more than makes up for it. Just brush your teeth, floss as usual and then use a tissue to dry your teeth before you apply the gel… It applies in seconds and it’s so so easy. I started using it twice a day for faster whitening. Other products I had to discontinue before they could be effective due to extreme burning and pain in my gums. These produce no pain. 😀 I will continue to use these as it’s the only product in my busy life that I can possibly manage to keep my teeth looking their best. Results may differ with different people I’m sure… But for me … I’m sold!" —Chelle

Rocco & Roxie Supply Company is a family-owned small business established in 2013 that specializes in pet odor eliminators, pet toys, pet snacks, and pet accessories.

Promising review: "So far so good, but I haven't used it on a large area yet. I own three dogs and a cat. Two of the dogs are very old, small and obviously have a problem with peeing in the house. It has been a battle, I have even put in a doggy door but they still have accidents. I ready hundreds of reviews on this, not just from Amazon before purchasing. I also purchased a small Bissell portable machine that I hope to use in conjunction with this product sometime this weekend, I just haven't had the time. I have had this for a few weeks now, but just haven't gotten the chance to really clean with it due to my busy schedule. That hasn't stopped the dogs from having accidents. With this, I have followed their directions and soaked up the urine and then applied this in a spray bottle to the area they have urinated. I let it set for about 15-20 minutes and then I use a towel to get the wetness out of the carpet. I have to say that I give the product 5 stars for my first uses. Although I haven't been able to follow up with the carpet cleaning yet, that spots do not smell of urine, they do not look stained and the dogs have been avoiding the areas that have already been sprayed. I am impressed." —Lori

Promising review: "These are fantastic! I am so glad I ordered them. I absolutely love the versatility of these glass containers. They make meal prep a breeze. You do not have to transfer your food to another container which means it takes less time and makes fewer dishes. This busy mom loves both of those things!! I put it in the freezer, in the oven, or microwave. I love being able to see my food in them in the freezer or fridge, it keeps the space clean and organized. I am going to need to order another set because I love them so much! I have not had any trouble with the lids, they all fit perfectly! The only negative with glass containers like these is you cannot stack them inside each other so they do take up more room when they are in the pantry." —Dana Ellett.

Promising review: "Highly recommend for busy parents. Once I received the brushes in the mail I used them in the shower the next day and all the nasty buildup was gone. I would highly recommend to anyone who has little time to clean during the week. Although I was scrubbing for nearly an hour, they did the job I needed them to do. Between a full time job and three kids I don't have hours during the week to deep clean. It was amazing to find a tool that allows me to deep clean the shower in under an hour." —Angel Vega.

Promising review: "Easy and convenient for busy folks. Makes my ring shiny and doesn’t leak. Love giving these as gifts. I have a sonic cleaner that I use when I really want to get my ring clean, but who has time for all that? My diamond is princess cut, so it gets dull within a day, which means I’m cleaning it a lot. I prefer this little wand, since it works well and the formula doesn’t irritate my skin." —L. Delacruz.

Promising review: "This is one of the best purchases I have made in quite some time. This thing is great for our family. We have used it to cook chicken nuggets, fries, fried pickles, and today even fried pork chops! My husband even mentioned these were the best pork chops he has ever eaten. We do make a couple of modifications. After using it the first time we decided to add some olive oil which makes the food come out crispier. We actually ordered an olive oil spray bottle from Amazon and it works great. You don't need much oil at all, or any, but our preference is a little makes the food better. This thing is a breeze to clean and great for quick meals for this busy mom. I would buy it again, and I wish I had bought it sooner." —Staci Cooper.

Promising review: "This is the best kitchen appliance I have bought in a long time! Super easy and quick to use. I have a busy schedule and I make egg salad a LOT to take with me...this saves me SO much time and effort. Set it and forget it, but the super loud continuous buzzer/alarm will NOT let you forget it, which is a nice safety design. They're also REALLY easy to peel! I've never peeled eggs so easily before. Huge plus that I hadn't even considered. This little contraption is also pretty small and stores easily. Even if you only boil eggs once in a while, it's worth it!" —Jaime Bosworth

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I have read so many books since the summer simply because of the ease of reading from a Kindle and being able to take it with me wherever I want. It's definitely a little bit pricey, but considering the majority of the books I read I get for free from my local library's Kindle ebook selection, it's been well worth the cost. And not having to physically drive to the library to check out a book and return it is awesome for my busy life. I highly recommend it." —Noah.

Promising review: "As a super busy mom and business owner, I don't have a lot of time to fuss with my makeup. But I always want to look presentable. I'll admit — I didn't think a stamp would actually work. But I was desperate! These eyeliner stamps are SO easy and look so good! I ended up buying every size and now I never have to worry about looking put together even when I'm low on time!" —Erin S.
