Slime the grime away with this incredible cleaning gel — just $7 in this early Black Friday deal

Everybody knows that nooks and crannies are the worst part of any cleaning job. It can feel almost impossible to extract that stuck-in grime, whether it’s besmirching your keyboard or the recesses of your car’s air vents. Enter ColorCoral’s “magical” lemon-scented Universal Cleaning Gel, which is designed to pull out dust and debris from the most annoyingly hard-to-reach recesses of your electronics, appliances and car dashboard. The bestseller boasts over 30,000 rave reviews, and it’s on sale for just $7 (originally $12) in this early Black Friday deal.

Why is this a good early Black Friday deal?

You can spend a lot of money on specialized cleaners, but this pile of goop is super affordable even when it’s not on sale, but these double discounts (the early Black Friday sale plus on-page coupon) make it downright impossible to pass up. At $7 (38% off) you might even want to pick a few up as stocking stuffers.

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 away 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

Tens of thousands of Amazon shoppers are seriously obsessed with this gel.

“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 doughnut 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 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.”

“I got this to clean the dashboard in my car and it is great. I love it. The downside is that it looks a little icky after use but that hasn’t stopped me one bit. Would buy again!” raved a fan.
