7 Better Alternatives To The Best-Selling Slime-Like Cleaning Gel At Amazon


Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change.

If you haven’t seen it yet, one of Amazon’s best-selling automotive products is this colorful cleaning gel. The slime-like putty is made from a “high-tech material” and is designed to clean dirt and dust from the hard-to-reach areas of your vehicle – like the cup holders and air vents. It can also be used for cleaning other things, like your computer keyboard and other office supplies but what you unfortunately cannot do is clean the cleaning gel. The company says the goop can be self-cleaned by folding it onto itself but warns on the product listing, “Do not wash cleaning goo with water. It’s a no-clean product that can be reused multiple times.” We’ve used this gleaning gel and it works reasonably well as a quick solution for picking up crumbs and dirt from cupholders and other areas of the car that even the narrowest of vacuum attachments has trouble reaching however, it’s not as reusable as we’d hoped. With this shortcoming in mind, we’ve gathered seven of the best, reusable, cleaning products you can currently buy on Amazon to clean your car, office and more.

Another Amazon best-seller is this portable handheld vacuum from ThisWorx. Version 2.0 is still corded and plugs into your car’s 12V outlet, but there are some small differences from the model it replaces. Some of the changes to the new model vac include a larger capacity, and a new filter system and filter type. The ThisWorx car vacuum comes “fully loaded” with a travel case, 16ft power cord, HEPA filter, long hose nozzle, narrow tube nozzle, brush nozzle and filter maintenance brush. Users praise its compact form factor, value, and suction power. One potential knock against this vacuum is that it’s not equipped for wet cleanups. If you are looking for a handheld car vac for both wet and dry messes, check out this sub-$20 option from Armor All.

We don’t recommend using a leaf blower to clean out your car’s interior. We do however recommend buying a small electric handheld duster to do so. A small blower like this is great for cleaning dust out of air vents and other areas of your car that are hard to reach without a small brush or Q-tip. This model from Fulljion is designed for cleaning dust from computer cases, keyboards, cars, fans and more. What’s even better about a rechargeable blower like this lets you ditch buying disposable cans of air duster.

  • Built-in 6,000-mAh rechargeable battery with fast charging capability
  • Fully charges in 3 to 4 hours
  • Comes with 5 sets of nozzles 
  • Adjustable 3 speed airflow modes: 33,000 RPM, 38,000 RPM, and 51,000 RPM

This small microfiber duster with extendable stainless-steel handle is the perfect size for those hard to reach interior spaces in your car. Unlike the popular cleaning goop, this duster can be used wet or dry and the mini head is detachable so you can wash it and reuse it. It’s not the most sustainable item on this list but it is more sustainable than the goop and it comes with a replacement head so that when the first one finally bites the dust (yeah, we know) you’ll have another one already to go. And at under $7 it’s a hard deal to ignore.
