The Pink Stuff is back in stock on Amazon

I’m a cat owner – which means I have to accept the reality that weird spots and smudges will pop up all over my house. From wet food she splatters Jackson Pollock-style all over my walls to little scratches she leaves on my closets, my cat keeps me busy. When I’m not vacuuming up their fur, I’m wiping down a surface.

Of course I love my cat. But the stains and splatters, many of which I was never able to get rid of completely? Not as much. And after trying everything from magic erasers to scrubbers to stain removers that remove everything but the actual stain, I had all but given up. That is, until TikTok oh-so-conveniently tricked me into stumbling upon a cleaning solution that promised to help.

TikTokers have branded The Pink Stuff as the best, fastest, and cheapest way to get rid of any stain — period. I’ve scrolled through hundreds of videos of users putting it on walls, pots, countertops, window panes and pretty much anywhere. Apparently I’m not the only one obsessing over it – the hashtag #pinkstuff has over 473.3 million views.

Check out how a TikToker even used it on her sneakers:

I managed to snag a $6 tub from Amazon (it frequently sells out, probably due to TikTok stalkers like me who want one for themselves) and it arrived the next day in all its pink glory . Did I mention it’s a #1 bestseller on Amazon?

Now the name makes perfect sense: it’s a pink paste that turns bright pink when applied. The tub is massive, too: it weighs about a pound, so you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck.

You see, something this cheap and something this bright must smell like chemicals, right? Incorrect! It has a light floral scent so you don’t have to hold your breath when opening the jar. To apply, simply use a cloth or sponge (many TikTokers swear by the Scrub Daddy) and gently scrub away the stain. It only takes a little elbow grease – in just a few minutes, the cat food residue on my walls was gone for good. It took a little longer to treat the scratches and paw prints, but they’re gone now too.

According to countless TikToks and over 115,000 five-star reviews from Amazon, it works on almost every surface. Parents swear it removes permanent marker stains left by toddler Picassos, while chefs insist it removes stubborn stains on cutlery, pots and pans. If you’ve had a stain for years, try The Pink Stuff – it could change your life.

Shoppers are getting pink tickled by The Pink Stuff — one even used it to keep her shower looking good as new:

“Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer!” she writes. “I used it to completely clean my fiberglass shower. Nothing else would have done, and this stuff made my shower almost new again in a single use. Since then we’ve removed a weird chalk film from our garage door, removed wall markings and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a glass (or three) of this stuff.

Also a must for colored pencil creations:

“I’m in love. It’s official,” wrote one delighted shopper. “I’m obsessed with magic erasers, but sometimes they don’t work for all jobs. We live in an apartment out of town when my son decided to paint the whole wall with crayons. I use a magic eraser at home with no problem, but this place has dull paint and a magic eraser would have ripped it away. The Pink Stuff was recommended by a friend and I’m obsessed! It didn’t damage the wall, I really like the scent and best of all the crayon came off with minimal scrubbing.”

Another buyer used the paste to remove scratches from her car:

“I recently ran my white car into a traffic cone, so you can imagine my excitement when four different brands of scratch removal didn’t work and I see this stuff,” she shared. “This stuff removed those marks instantly with a strip of the cloth. Then I had to circle my vehicle to find little marks that I could remove with this stuff.”

Even cleaning professionals are hooked:

One chimed in: “I’m a professional housecleaner and I don’t think I’ll ever want to be without this product again!! Nothing else has cleaned my oven door…this worked with a little muscle power. It’s completely clean now!! It has a pot I’ve had for 15 years that looks like new. I can’t wait to use it in my clients’ homes.”
