Fed up with all the grit and gunk hiding out in your car's console? Give the goo a go! (Amazon)(Amazon)
I was buying a dresser off Facebook Marketplace this weekend and had to take out my kiddo's car seat for the first time in a while. The horror underneath — crumbs from every snack she's had in the past two months (plus a few road trip meals for good measure) — was jammed into every crack, crease and cupholder. And it's not just her seat. Once I started looking closer, I realized the whole car was gross.
Sure, a regular car vacuum can take care of the easy stuff on the seats and floor mats. But have you looked really closely at the areas around your cup holders, gear shift or vents? Those spots trap every speck of dirt, sand and mystery gunk — and your vacuum can't reach them. That's where Pulidiki Cleaning Gel comes in. It's a magnet for all those little nasties, and it's only $6 right now, its lowest price ever — that's less than even the cheapest cleaning options at your local car wash.
Smelly fridge? Yeah, not so appetizing. But this unassuming odor minimizer works for up to 10 years (yes, you read that right) to keep things fresh. All you do is place it inside and, well, that's actually it. Sorry, baking soda — you've been replaced. This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car ... anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is the lowest it's been since 2023, FYI.
Have a car full of fast food containers and crumpled tissues? We'd advise scooping up this No. 1 bestselling car trash can while it's on sale for a mere $6 — over 60% off!
Got any camping trips planned? Homemade pizza with a view sure sounds more appealing than canned soup.
This little space-saver corrals all your dish-cleaning accouterment in one spot to keep your counter and sink clear of clutter.
At $9, this cleaning gel is already wildly affordable — but it's currently on sale for just $6. You'd spend more on lunch at a drive-through than you would for the gel to get those burger crumbs out of your cup holder.
The gel easily molds into every nook and cranny in your car. As I'm writing this, I know exactly where I could use it to get rid of dust and dirt that my vacuum can't reach, like those pesky window buttons that never seem to be clean, or the place that at one point was meant for spare change but now just holds whatever trout flies I last used.
Like the slime kids love, this sticky gel is designed to adhere to dust and other debris but not your hands. It doesn't leave any residue despite its gooey texture. And how great is this: No water or cleaner is needed! Plus, it can be reused until it turns black. No chemical smell, either — it has a light, sweet scent. And it's not just for cars — it can pick up dirt trapped in your keyboard, on your cell phone, in the TV remote buttons and any other hard-to-reach spots.
Over 3,700 Amazon shoppers are five-star fans of this cleaning gel, using it to clean hard-to-reach places in their car and home.
"I didn't expect it to work as well as it does, but it's been an absolute game changer for cleaning the hard-to-reach areas in my car and house," said a five-star customer. "You just press the gel into the crevices and then pull it back up, and it picks up all the dust, crumbs and debris. It works wonderfully in between the buttons on the dashboard, around the vents and in the cup holders."
"I bought this on a lark, not expecting it to work all that well, but it really works great in crevices in the car!" shared one playful partisan. "It feels weird and looks weird, but it is kind of fun and [feels] like being a kid again to use it."
"Just purchased a new car and needed something to help me keep it looking nice," said a conscientious motorist. "The product works perfectly and does not have an odd smell, which I greatly appreciate. Although it feels a bit odd to handle, it is not too slippery or hard to pull off."
"Works great to pull crumbs from the area around my gearshift," another reviewer said. But they added: "Then the product was full of crumbs and I had to throw it away. So it's great to use once, or maybe twice if you are picking up more than just dust, but then it just gets icky."
Another reviewer wished the gel wasn't impacted so greatly by the temperature. "I deducted one star because it cannot be stored in the car for quick cleanups or in a warm summer garage where it will essentially melt to an unusable consistency."
If you have crumbs in your car, we're going to assume you eat on the go. If that's the case, this car trash can is just what you need.
