Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name-brand shower cleaners and bleach to try to clean the soap scum off the tiles and tub. I had no luck and I would cough and get sick because of how strong the smell was. I thought I would try this to save my lungs. I sprayed my entire shower and left it for about 15 minutes. Came back and rinsed off the walls and they were shiny! I've never had such a clean shower. The smell is amazing and subtle. All I smell is tea tree and it didn't affect me at all. The price is also a good deal since the bottle is pretty large." —Amber Erwin

9. Kaboom bathroom cleaner with OxiClean that changes color when it's ready to be wiped away — and that's just genius. It sprays on blue so you can make sure every inch of your tub is covered, then turns white when it's done breaking down all that soap scum and hard water stains.

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and built up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before and after pics attached (above)." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (also available in various bundles).
13. A jar of toilet fizzies — which are basically bath bombs for your toilet.

Oh, and it's also loaded with eucalyptus essential oil to make your porcelain throne smell like a fancy spa.

Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse

24. A small but impressive power scrubber to break down all the caked-on grime in between your tiles so you can turn your bathroom into the clean, shiny sanctuary you truly deserve.
"I'm obsessed! This thing works small miracles: I cleaned about half of my bathroom's grout to its original sparkling-clean cream color in 40 minutes, and it took honestly no effort at all. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.
Honestly, when I first tried the scrubber out, I didn't see too many uses for it other than for grout. But after owning it for a while, I've realized that while I don't need it every single week, it's priceless for the occasions I encounter tough gunk that I'd otherwise only conquer with excessive patience and elbow grease." — Natalie Brown, BuzzFeed Shopping Editor
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
25. An all-purpose scrubber kit to turn your power drill into the ultimate cleaning tool you never knew you needed. The nylon bristles won't leave behind any scratches, so you can scrub away without worrying about ruining your tub.
26. And a dishwashing wand — wait, hear me out! Fill it with vinegar and dish soap and keep it in the shower for the times when you want to give the walls a really thorough scrub-down. Now you can get to cleaning while waiting for your hair mask to soak in. Work smarter, not harder.
