Fed up with all the grit and gunk hiding out in your car's console? Look to the goo! (Amazon)
While your car vac can do a great job sucking up the dirt left over on the seats or floor, it can't get everything — like the little crumbs in your cup holders, the dust in your vents or the ever-present pollen that permeates every crack, crevice and cranny of the car. But there is a tool that gets right up in all those nooks and leaves your car looking like you just drove off the lot. Pulidiki, a top-selling brand at Amazon, just dropped a new and improved cleaning gel. Like the original, it's reusable, effective and, better yet, just $7! Or pick up the original for $1 less.
Want to start your evenings on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this popular pair while it's nearly 80% off. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush pillows are moisture-wicking and promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. They're also machine washable!
If you’re seeking a rustic fire pit for grilling up some grub, this top-rated model from Bali Outdoors is a solid pick. It has a food-friendly design that comes with a removable and FDA-compliant alloy steel grill grate for firing up meats, veggies and more in your backyard. The grill also adjusts up and down, swings left or right and has handles at both ends. (Just make sure you wear oven mitts or protective gloves to adjust it when the flame is roaring.)
"This was fairly easy to assemble and gives off great heat, enough to keep six to seven of us warm with one bundle of wood from the grocery store," said one shopper. "I love the additional burner for grilling. We’ve cooked corn, burgers and steak on this thing, and so far so good."

Car floor looking a little crumb-y? Then it's this No. 1 bestselling car vacuum to the rescue! Weighing just 2.4 pounds, it's easy to maneuver around your ride, whether you use it to zap up pet hair from the seats, fast food remnants on the floor or the layer of dust blanketing your dashboard. It comes with three attachments for targeting different types of spaces and messes, and its 16-foot cord means you'll have no trouble reaching the trunk. This model even has a handy light and HEPA filter to help purify the air. Snag it while it's nearly 50% off.
"This is the best auto vacuum I have used," wrote an impressed customer. "It gets the things that other vacuums have not, like the fine dust that collects on the dash and console. The attachments seem built for a car, as does the design and shape of this machine. Kudos to the design engineers. ThisWorx is well named because it does."
Toss those fast food wrappers right away with this car-friendly, leak-proof trash can. It slips right over your headrest and is just what you need to keep your car tidy. Plus, it has three pockets to store hand wipes and ... maybe some very handy purple cleaning goo!
Even at full price, this cleaning gel is an affordable splurge — but discounted, it's even more appealing. You'd spend a lot more on lunch at a drive through than you would for the gel to get those burger crumbs out of your cupholder. That's a small price to pay for something that will get all the gunk out of those hard-to-reach crevices in your car and keep it feeling like-new for a lot longer.
And how great is this: no water or cleaner needed! Plus, it can be reused over and over again until it turns black. No chemical smell, either — it has a light, sweet scent. Oh, and it's not just for cars — it can pick up dirt trapped in your keyboard, on your cellphone, TV remote and any other hard-to-reach spots.
Like the slime kids love, this sticky gel is designed to adhere to dust and other debris — but not your hands. It also somehow doesn't leave any residue, despite its sticky, slimy texture. The new version comes in this fab purple color, and the original is a bright blue shade.
More than 3,000 Amazon shoppers give this cleaning gel a five-star rating.
"Saves time and effort," said a shopper. "I thought that I would have to get my car detailed professionally in order to get the vents and other crevices clean — wrong! This goop is long-lasting and works great every single time."
"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 thrilled fan of the original. "It feels weird and looks weird, but it is kind of fun and [feels] like being a kid again to use it."
Another chimed in: "This product works like magic. I’ve vacuumed and used an air hose on my car console, and they never get it like I want it. I ordered this product, and I was amazed! I rolled it around and it got every bit of dust and miscellaneous things, every bit. I took four minutes to do my whole giant console area."
A third added that it's perfect for that new-car-feel: "I put this on the console of my car. My car is older, and getting into the crevices to clean is hard. I put the product in my console and it looks brand-new. Like, I-just-left-the-car-dealership new. I need to buy another one because it picked up so much debris, it is filled up. But I love this product."
Some shoppers wish there was a good way to clean off the gel though to prolong its life.
"The product is quite sticky but not to the point where you can’t manage it in your hands easily. Color is very appealing and there is virtually no scent," said one person, but added, "Hesitant on the life span since there is no real way to clean [off] the debris you collect from your car. Overall good value for price point."
