Showering should feel revitalizing, but that's not always the case with hard water. Never dealt with it? Lucky you. Hard water can leave a slimy residue on your skin and a dirty film on your dishes. This water-softening Feelso showerhead could be a simple solution for at least part of the problem, fans say. Even better, it's down to $20 for Prime members during the Amazon Labor Day Sale.
Cleaning the loo can be easy and even a little fun with the right gadget. This cordless cleaning tool also scrubs your tub, tiles and anything else you want to sparkle. It can save your elbows, shoulders and back, and fans say it does the job faster and better than human hands. The popular pick features two speeds, an extendable arm and four replacement heads.
One five-star reviewer called the scrubber "life-changing," saying it "made cleaning the tub and showers way easier and left everything sparkling. I like the fact that it comes with several attachments and that they are easy to switch. I also liked that it has different speeds and is very ergonomic. A great tool to teach teenagers to clean the bathroom ... it will make it fun."

Sleep hot? These moisture-wicking sleep cushions are filled with a plush, down alternative (100% polyester) encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover, and its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool and dry while you snooze.
"These pillows are great for proper head and neck alignment and plump up beautifully after opening from being vacuum sealed," raved one satisfied sleeper. "I’ve tried many different types of pillows through the years, which had to be plumped during the night … not anymore! Soft, but not too soft, and breathable."
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This price isn't quite as low as it was during Prime Day, but almost — and it's still one of the best we've seen it marked down to.
"So easy to use!" gushed a fan. "Heats [up] fast and effectively crisps food without leaving it dry. Used with just a very small amount of oil, items come out with the taste and texture of a traditional fryer. Oil-free cooking is faster than the oven and doesn’t heat up the kitchen. Easy to clean."

The Feelso contains 15 different layers of filtration to purge extra minerals from your water and make you feel like you're bathing in a mountain spring.
"This showerhead is amazing," raved a five-star reviewer. "The pressure is amazing, all three settings are a dream. It's got a lot of power but somehow remains soft and doesn't hurt your head or skin. After a single shower my skin feels softer and so does my hair."
Right now, this water-filtering wonder is 50% off its normal price for Amazon Prime members, making it an excellent Labor Day deal. If you're looking to upgrade your shower (or perhaps avoid buying an expensive water softener) now's a great opportunity — and for less than the price of a dinner out.
A lot of people don't even realize they have hard water, especially if they live where it's always been an issue. For example, in Florida, a lot of dissolved limestone in the tap water can create hard water. To combat its effects, this showerhead utilizes layers of calcium sulfite, activated carbon, vitamin C, ceramic balls and more to filter out these materials so that you actually feel clean after bathing. All of this works together to remove these minerals from your shower water before they reach your skin.
If hard water has never bothered you, why should you care? Easy: your health. There are quite a few scientific studies linking eczema outbreaks to prolonged exposure to hard water. If you want to keep your skin nice and healthy, you should avoid exposing it to hard water whenever possible. Sure, you can install a filter at your home (which is a good idea if you live in an area where hard water is prevalent), but an easy fix is this screw-on showerhead.
Customers love this showerhead; over 4,000 excited shoppers give it a perfect five-star rating.
"It's worth way more than what they charge," wrote one impressed shopper. "Everything about how this showerhead feels is everything I could ever want from it. I'm impressed with the water pressure, texture, simplicity, versatility and ease-of-install associated with this product. Makes me excited to shower!"
If you have skin problems, this can help, fans say. Shared a rave reviewer, "I've been struggling with hair loss and skin irritations which led me to purchase this showerhead, and what a difference it has been on my hair and skin. My hair has been noticeably fuller and my skin is not as dry and itchy as it was before."
"This showerhead is amazing," raved a five-star fan about the power behind the water. "The pressure is amazing, all three settings are a dream. It's got a lot of power but somehow remains soft and doesn't hurt your head or skin. After a single shower, my skin feels softer and so does my hair. It's not tangled like it was with the hard city water."
Fans were mostly satisfied with this showerhead, but one did wish "the showerhead had a wider pattern."
One other thing to note: The plastic clip that holds the showerhead is a bit fragile, some reviewers caution. "The one thing I would change is the plastic piece that holds the head in place. It's of poor quality and broke twice in less than a month just from general use."
