— -- Products advertised on TV are often promised as ways to streamline your daily routine, but how well do they work in real life?

Good Morning America” tried out “As Seen on TV” products on live TV for a special series called “Buy It and Try It.”

We used two products designed for pets: Woof Washer 360 and True Touch Grooming Gloves.

Read below to see how well the two products worked.

Use: "Woof Washer 360 lets dogs of all sizes get 360 degrees of clean."

How It Fared Live:

ABC News' Gio Benitez said he saw that dirt "seemed to be falling off" the dog he washed using the Woof Washer but "not everywhere."

ABC News' Becky Worley used the Woof Washer on a longer-haired dog.

"I feel like I still have to kind of get in there and dig my hand around to get him," she said. "It does do a good job getting underneath the dog."

Jack Haanraadts, a Woof Washer representative, said the dog washed by Worley seemed to be "really enjoying the massaging jets" of the Woof Washer.

"The adjustable arc definitely helps too. You can get the increased maneuverability," he said. "You can really get under and get the undercoat and get all the dirt out from underneath."

True Touch Grooming Gloves

True Touch Grooming Gloves are advertised as featuring soft silicone grooming tips that "reach deep down to loosen and lift away hair, dirt and debris from under and off their coat like a magnet."

Use: "Your pet will enjoy a relaxing massage while the over 175 soft silicone grooming tips reach deep down to loosen and lift away hair, dirt and debris from under and off their coat like a magnet. Plus, the flexible grooming tips massage and stimulate the skin for a shiny, healthy top coat."

How It Fared Live:

"What animal doesn’t like being petted," said Worley, who used the glove on a longer-haired dog. "I can really see this because some animals are skittish about the brush and being groomed."

"But I’ve been brushing Roger here for a little bit and the one thing I’m noticing is you can kind of peel this hair out but I’m not getting a ton of hair right now," she added.

Worley asked a representative from the maker of True Touch Grooming Gloves if a glove is less efficient than a brush when grooming longer-haired dogs.

“Actually I think it’s much more efficient,” said Teresa Sinapi, brand manager for AllStar Products Group. “And it has silicone, which massages your pet, making them much more comfortable.”

"GMA" co-anchor Michael Strahan used a True Touch Grooming Glove on a cat.

"The animals look very comfortable,” he said. “They’re not minding it all so I think it’s a success, actually.”
