This $7 slime-like gel cleans your car's nooks and crannies
Fans say this goo leaves no residue and saves them big money on professional detailing.
Sure, a car vacuum can make quick work of the loose dirt on your seats and floor mats, but have you checked the nooks and crannies of your car's interior lately? Look around your cup holder, gear shift and air vents — you know, those little crevices that the vacuum can't seem to clean but still always seem to attract crumbs from your takeout. That's where Pulidiki Cleaning Gel comes in. It's great for all those little nasties, and it's only $7 — less than even the cheapest cleaning options at your local car wash.
The glorious goo is specially designed to de-gunk air vents, consoles, steering wheels and other tricky spots.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
At $7, this cleaning gel is wildly affordable. You'd spend more on lunch at a drive-thru than you would for the gel to get those burger crumbs out of your cup holder.
Why do I need this? 🤔
This 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 cellphone, in the TV remote buttons and any other hard-to-reach spots.
What reviewers say 💬
Over 3,500 Amazon shoppers are five-star fans of this cleaning gel, using it to clean hard-to-reach places in their car and home.
Pros 👍
"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 happy, 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 thrilled fan of the original blue version of this goo. "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 another five-star reviewer. "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."
Cons 👎
"This product works great to pull crumbs from the area around my gearshift, praised another reviewer before adding, "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."
Crumbs be gone! All you need to do is gently push this putty into any crevice that can use a good cleaning.
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.
