Have you found any "miracle products" that actually work?

KABOOM!

This is my miracle because regular cleaners make me light headed and sick. This stuff works wonders..... squirt let sit a few minutes and rinse or flush as the case may be

I buy mine at Sam's in a pre packaged group of products that I love including the orange cleaner stuff.

I also use the Spot shot (sam's) on carpet stains.

I'm gonna try the dawn in the wash, thanks for the tip!

oh and speaking of "miracles" I bought those Miracle movers when we had the carpet replaced and i moved a huge armoir all by myself with little effort!

KY Warming Gel. Yup, I said it outloud.

OH MY!

Spot Shot, will take any stains out of even white carpet! I swear by it.

I used Joy dishwashing soap, my clothes were clean (I have 2 messy kids) and super soft!!

Rain-X

I put this stuff on my windshield and I only have to use my wipers in the hardest rainstorms!!!
Not only does it help in the rain it makes cleaning the window easier. Sap and bird stuff come off alot easier. I put it on all my car windows, mirrors and headlights.

Is the Rain-X the same one they seel in WalMart for $1.88 a gallon in the car section???
I tried the DAWN in the washer and it did GREAT

Based on the info here, I have bought Rain'X(the wipes in the plastic container. Says to rub until a haze, then wipe off. Is this the correct product?) I also got a box of Magic Erasers which did tako off a bunch of dirty marks on a cabinet that my beloved 409 wouldn't touch. A also used Dawn in my washing machine, but have not gotten the load out of the dryer to inspect the items yet. I did notice that a pizza stain on a t-shirt did not come out though.

Has anyone else made a purchase based on the replies here?

My DW just bought a Magic Eraser ... I was skeptical, but it WORKED! I was running around the house looking for things to "erase"! Thanks for the tip.

(I also love Rain-X... been using that and it's sister product, Fog-X, for a long time. The Fog-X prevents fog and film from developing on the INSIDE windshield.)

Glad it worked for you!

I'm convinced that the laundry soap companies would go out of business if more people knew this! I love buying two bottles of dish soap instead of a ridiculously priced box of soap and rocks! (found that out in an Amway meeting!) I keep one in the kitchen and one in the laundry room. I also use it for extra suds in a bath! Great stuff.

Also, now I have to try that RainX!

Great thread! Thanks for the Dawn suggestion...I HATE buying expensive detergents!

I also love Certain-Dri. Not really that much more expensive and it works really great.

I got this Wusthof Santoku knife for Christmas 2003 and love it! It's not cheap ($80), but I use it for everything from slicing chicken to dicing onions to pounding garlic. It's just like Rachel Ray's knife and soooooooo worth it. I know I will keep it for a lifetime!

yep, Clorox Bleach Pens work great!! I had a t-shirt with Red embroidery which ran onto the white shirt, I used the bleach pen on it and wa-la, gone!!

Also, just picked up Invisible Glass at BJ's (comes in 3 can package for $8.99) works great to get that haze off, ya know that blinding stuff on the windshield when you're driving into the sun and can't see anything?? I guess it would work for that smoke haze if you smoke in your car too.

Thanks for the suggestion about the knife, I've been looking for a GOOD one. Did a search on eBay and they have a few a bit cheaper than $80... http://search.ebay.com/Wusthof-Sant...ropertyZ1QQsspagenameZADMEQ3aBQ3aTB2Q3aUSQ3a2
Maybe I should start hinting for Christmas!!
