Why is this a good deal? 💰

You can spend a lot of money on specialized cleaners, but this goop is super affordable even when it's not on sale. This discount, though slight, makes it downright impossible to pass up. You might even want to pick up a few to squirrel away or use as stocking stuffers in a few months.

Why do I need this? 🤔

This stuff makes cleaning simple: Just smush it against the grime and voilá! Plus, you can use it just about anywhere. Here's how it works: Simply knead a small piece of the gel into a ball and flatten it against the surface you want to clean. That's it! Once you pull it away, all the nasties come with it. The stuff is reusable, so keep cleaning until it turns dark from all the horrors you've been subjecting it to. It even leaves behind a pleasant lemony scent.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 31,000 Amazon shoppers have awarded this strangely satisfying cleaning gel with a not-so-strange five stars.

Pros 👍

"I used this to clean out the little holes on my iPhone 13," began one former skeptic. "Before I used it, people kept telling me they could barely hear me, and the voice-to-text and audio assistant could never understand what I was saying. I used this product for about three to five minutes, and I didn't expect much from it. To my surprise, it cleared up pretty much all the problems I was having. ... I can't recommend this product enough. It worked way better than I could ever ask for."

"This gel seems to do the trick to lift dirt, dust and debris off of my dash, my console and my guitars," said another five-star fan. "It does a great job and doesn't seem to leave any residue for the most part. Sometimes I go to the shop on the way to work and get an everything bagel, which leaves tons of seeds and whatever else they put on those stinking things, all over my car interior. This goo picks it all up quickly. I bought a second one just for guitars."

"Like a lot of people, I eat at my desk," shared this hard-working reviewer. "Crumbs were getting everywhere. Plus, my cat loved to lie on my keyboard if I was using my laptop. It does such a great job of getting fur and crumbs up. So much better than an air can. Must-have for all office desks."

Cons 👎

Unsurprisingly, after you use it enough, the goo itself gets grimy. One reviewer mentioned that they "wish there was a way to clean off the goo" after the gel has been used. The same fan added that "it can hold a pretty good amount of dirt before it becomes useless."

In terms of scent, another reviewer expected more: "I do wish it had a more of a lemon smell," they wrote. "It smells kind of 'chemically' and it does make your hands very wet."

A clean keyboard is a happy keyboard — say farewell to snack residue!
