    24 Products You’ll Need If The Thought Of Maintaining A Clean Bathroom Keeps You Up At Night

    No more nightmares involving grout problems, hard water stains, or messy countertops 🙌.

    1. A jar of the internet-beloved The Pink Stuff that'll magically clean practically anything and everything in your home — and even in your closet! This potion in a paste reverses wall markings, soap scum on shower tiles, discolored grout, and whatever else that could use a little abracadabra alakazam.

    A lot of people compare it to the Magic Eraser in paste form, so even your weirdest, most stubborn stains will meet their match.

    Promising review: "I bought this based on all the enthusiastic reviews and I'm a fan too at this point. The biggest test I could think of is an old fiberglass shower/tub unit that is covered in soap scum and water spots. The minerals in our hard water cause the soap to adhere to the walls and I still haven't found a product that I'm happy with. That said, I was surprised at how the surface felt after I scrubbed a section with the Pink. It was quite smooth. Also, the chrome fixtures came back to a bright shine. I used it on the bathroom and kitchen sinks to good effect and made my baseboards shine." —Trish Fitzpatrick

    Get it from Amazon for $5.97.

    2. A grout pen if your tiles have become so unsightly you've forgotten what color the lines that separate them are. (Spoiler: they're white!) You'll feel instantly gratified with how well this brightens up floors in your bathroom, backsplashes in the kitchen, or literally wherever tiles live in your home.

    Promising review: "This pen was so much better than what I was expecting. I looked up grout cleaner and this came up. My grout was getting black spots and started looking dingy. I gave this a try and my shower looks brand new. I will be buying more. It was very easy to use and so far has held up. If you have white grout and white tiles I highly recommend!" —Ally

    Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (also available with a wide tip).

    3. A hard-water stain remover that'll do all the hard work for you to rid your surfaces clear of cloudy droplets. Think: stained toilets, murky shower heads, and yucky tubs so clear and shiny, you might actually be able to see your reflection in them.

    It even has a minty scent, so you don't have to worry about that harsh chemical smell most cleaning products usually emit.

    Promising review: "I have tried for weeks to get rid of some very tough hard-water stains on my glass shower panel. They had been there for three years while my apartment was rented and never cleaned. I have tried just about everything from toothpaste to vinegar to different types of chemical products. Then I found this product...PURE MAGIC!!! The nontoxicity of the product is definitely a plus, it doesn't smell bad and doesn't sting your lungs like some hard chemicals do. Its biodegradability is a plus! I feel better knowing I'm not dumping some more toxic chemicals down the drain. Most importantly, it works!!! After 10 minutes of work it has removed 90% of the hard-water stains that simply would not come off in the past!!" —O.R

    Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available as a multipack).

    4. A drain snake to give your pipes a good ol' cleanse without having to get your plumber (or parents) on the horn. This'll easily and ~satisfyingly~ clean out the creatures you never knew existed in your bathroom pipes.

    Promising review: "So useful! Thought I’d never be able to clear my drain after using gallons and gallons of Drano (which add up). But these took out the hair that was clogging my shower for months within a minute! Such easy use and definitely would recommend this to anyone who needs it." —Cal

    Get a four-pack from Amazon for $5.97+ (available in two sizes).

    5. Wet & Forget shower cleaner, which *gasp* doesn't require you to do any scrubbing. No, seriously. Simply give the areas in your bathroom that could use some TLC a quick spray down with this...and then rinse off the next day. Plus, it only has to be used once a week!

    Promising review: "I wish I took before and after pictures because the results are unbelievable with no scrubbing or elbow grease. We have a stone floor/wall shower with stupid large and annoyingly mold-prone grout lines. I used it per the directions and rinsed with hot hot water the next morning, and couldn’t believe all the crap that rinsed off. Seriously worth every penny!" —Kate

    Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents and multipacks).

    6. Some sleek, clear apothecary jars so you can inject messy countertops with some sophistication and organization without having to entirely redecorate. Basically, toss that ugly cardboard box of Q-Tips and plonk them in one of these. Easy!

    Promising review: "Perfect for holding my Q-tips, cotton pads, and extra hair ties on my bathroom sink while making things look cute and tidy. Containers were a little smaller than I thought they'd be, but are actually the perfect size for these items." —bex__7

    Get a set of three from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors, two sizes, and different pack sizes).

    7. A mold and mildew removal gel to banish gunk in your grout and dark spots along silicone caulk. Your bathroom surfaces will shine once again after one overnight application of this. And before you saying anything — nope, no scrubbing necessary. I know, right?!

    Kayla Suazo / BuzzFeed

    Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Suazo uses this and raves: "This mildew remover can destroy any stain in its path — I would know, that is (sadly) my moldy ol' shower above. OK, before you go and judge me, I'd like to defend myself and say that my building is really old. When I moved into my apartment, it looked like there hadn't been repairs since the '60s, and that included re-caulking the bathtub. I tried bleach and every type of shower cleaner at the store, but nothing removed the mold and mildew stains that had been there for like, 40 years. UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS INCREDIBLE MAGIC GEL. The before and after pictures speak for themselves, and were taken after only one treatment. I am one happy customer."

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    8. An Oxo over-the-drain hair stopper, because, no, paddling your feet in a pool of water every time you shower is not considered the done thing. This little creation will catch clumps of hair like a magnet *before* they make their way to clog up your drains.

    Promising review: "This has been my saving grace!! No longer do I have to routinely pull 3-foot-long strands of old goopy hair up out of my drain. Catches everything. Must have for pop-up drains!!"—Chels

    Get it from Amazon for $13.99.

    9. Microfiber glass-cleaning cloths you can count on to dust down tricky light fixtures and mirrors that are notorious for gathering gunk and — according to reviewers — all without the need for cleaning spray! These'll make your at-home oasis *glow* once again, plus they won't leave fibers behind.

    Promising review: "I never knew there was a way to clean mirrors without a spray! I have a bit of a clean freak in me that has been unleashing more and more as I get older. I do a deep cleaning of my bathroom once a week but like to do a quick wipe every other day or so. These cloths were excellent at cleaning and will be much more practical, as I can keep one of each (green cleaning and blue polishing) in each bathroom for the mirrors. Simply wet the green cloth, squeeze dry, and wipe...use the blue to polish to a streak free, lint-free shine. Is it possible these clean better than traditional glass cleaners (even my aerosol fave)? I believe so. These are fabulous for mirrors and windows, and leave a true streak-free shine." —Aria M

    Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.98.

    10. A wall-mounted toothbrush holder and dispenser, aka the discovery I made on TikTok that I've been sending to any and every friend who either complains about their haphazard bathroom counter space, or *lack* of bathroom counter space.

    This game-changer includes a toothpaste dispenser (which means less product waste and mess!), four cups and holders, and a place to store your toothbrushes!

    Promising review: "I love this item! I saw it originally on TikTok and thought it would be perfect for our bathroom! We have one bathroom upstairs and five people who use it. This cleared up so much counter space for us! There are ventilation holes where the cups go to help make sure they dry properly. The toothpaste dispenser has really been working to get every last drop out of the tube. Would definitely recommend for a family or kids' bathroom. There is also a little storage compartment behind the toothpaste that is great for extra brushes, Q-tips, or flossers." —Sariyah J

    Get it from Amazon for $16.77+ (available in three colors).

    11. A set of clear stackable drawers to spark so much organizational joy, your search for meds, hair accessories, nail polish...whatever will finally be less of a headache-inducing treasure hunt. Plus, they're sleek enough to be out on display and compact enough to fit inside of cupboards.

    Promising review: "These drawers are just what I needed to organize loose items under my bathroom counter! They fit all of my nail polish perfectly. I wasn't expecting them to look so nice, and had planned to put them under the sink. I was very surprised by the quality and have kept them on my counter for easier access. I'm very happy with these drawers and I'm going to buy a couple more to stack under my sink. Since they can be customized by stacking, they're a great way to organize around those annoying pipes under the sink." —Katie Steinberg

    Get a set of two from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors).

    12. An automatic scrubbing brush so you can eliminate unsightly grout with a detachable oscillating brush head that'll provide *instant* gratification. This brightens up the dingy look of backsplashes and bathroom floor tiles so well, you'll probably find the whole process incredibly therapeutic.

    Promising review: "Last night I was reborn. What is the cause of this renewed zest for life, you might ask? It was the use of the Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber on my shower grout. It elevated a simple baking soda-and-water solution to alchemical proportions. My pink-tiled shower, the one that came with my scummy apartment, the one that never looks clean no matter how many hours of backbreaking labor I put in, now looks bright, clean, and full of promise. An otherwise disgusting and dated purely utilitarian part of my home is now art. TLDR; This this is absolutely incredible." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $22.06.

    13. A slender storage cabinet that'll fill the void (and be of use) between your sink and toilet, or the toilet and the wall. Think: cleaning supplies, extra TP, and functional yet fashionable decor like diffusers or candles can now brighten up that previous wasted space.

    Promising review: "So easy to put together I could put it together with my eyes closed. Fit amazingly perfectly between the tub and the toilet and it has created so much more space and my bathroom is no longer cluttered because of this product." —COS45B

    Get it from Amazon for $28.69+ (available in six styles and two sizes).

    14. A jetted tub cleaner, which figures out how to clean the *inside* of your tub so you don't have to. Think: soap scum, body wash residue, and other gunk all eradicated from the deep, dark crevices of your jets in just about 15 minutes.

    Promising review: "Thanks for making my life easier! I used this product according to the directions and wowza!! I’m now completely satisfied I’ve got the yuk out of my lines and ports are clean. It’s safe to take a bath once again." —Prajana

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    15. An over-the-loo storage cabinet that makes *great* use of the dead space behind your throne (just peep the super tidy reviewer below). And because it fits *so* well, it might just look like it was built specifically for your abode.

    Psst! This nifty reviewer on the left actually replaced the cabinet knobs with something a little fancier. If you wanna do the same, might we suggest something like these diamond-shaped beauties?

    Promising review: "This is the most attractive space-saver for the bathroom. It went together well and has a good amount of storage. I love the doors, and the fact that there is an open shelf also. It is sturdy and serves the purpose. It really helped the big blank wall too! I shopped these for quite a while, this was the best sized, best looking, and sturdiest I found. Well worth the price." —K. Norman

    Get it from Amazon for $122.98+ (available in three styles and two colors).

    16. A shower curtain liner complete with pockets for anyone who lives in a household in which everyone insists on keeping *at least* four hair products in their shower at all times. This'll free up clutter from tiny corners of tub space and keep products at arm's reach.

    Promising review: "I love this shower curtain. It's very functional. I don't have enough storage space in my bathroom. This curtain is a lifesaver. I use all the pockets, and can keep heavy things in them too. Nothing has ever happened." —svhare

    Get it from Amazon for $20.14+ (available in clear or gray).

    17. A hands-free wringer mop that'll have your head ~spinning~ with just how well it works. Reviewers note that this actually makes mopping fun...can you believe?! The automatic wringer is definitely something to write home about, not to mention the triangular shape of the mop which make it — get this — WAY easier to reach into nooks and crannies in your bathroom.

    And this comes with two extra microfiber refills that are machine washable!

    Promising reviews: "Ok, I never write a review! But this thing is awesome. I really did not expect much for the price but I was proven wrong. My first use was to clean out my bathtub. (I hate bending over). Then scrubbed my bathroom and kitchen floors. Easy peasy. I will certainly keep using my electric bissell but this is great for quick cleanups." —Amazon Customer 

    "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar mop and bucket based upon the great reviews. I am here to add a 5 star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. This mop picked up lots of dirt and grime, then popped easily into the washer. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." —LauraP320

    Get it from Amazon for $49.23.

    18. A six-tier towel rack if your place hasn't been gifted with a linen closet (NYC residents, looking at you). This neat tool takes up minimal space and just requires a blank wall + some serious towel rolling skills.

    Promising review: "Perfect for our bathroom! We recently moved and the new master bath doesn't have a linen closet, so we had to get creative with how to store everyday items like towels. Since they were going to be out in the open, I wanted something that was functional yet decorative. This fit the bill perfectly! We have towels from IKEA, and even tightly rolled, the rack was a bit tight, so I just used my hands and gently pulled each hook out a bit and now the towels fit perfectly. I am very happy with this purchase!" —Faye_Bon_Fury

    Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in eight colors).

    19. A miraculous pumice stone to restore your hope if you thought deep cleaning your stained toilet was a lost cause. Simply wet the stone, gently scrub, and gross rings of horror — be gone!

    Promising review: "Wow, after 10 years in our house I had pretty much given up on getting our toilets looking nice again. You have kids who forget to flush? I thought I'd have a nasty-looking toilet for the rest of time...until I discovered this tool! Holy wow, when I tell you that I have spent HOURS trying to clean the toilet before (with no results) and this thing made it SPARKLING WHITE in less than five minutes, I'm not joking! Never again will I settle for toilet rings or stained toilet bottoms. This tool will do the job for you — just scrub and it's gone!" —Lilac28

    Get it from Amazon for $11.55 (also available in multipacks).

    20. And! Fizzing toilet tablets for some regular toilet upkeep. Just plonk one of these scented tabs into the bowl to give it a good cleanse, because gone are the days of you battling with grimy rings (and whatever else is in there).

    Pardo Naturals is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business helmed by Rita Pardo, a mom who was looking for natural hair, body, and home products that wouldn't irritate her daughter's severe eczema.

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman uses these and raves: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (although that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."

    Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).

    21. Or! A Fluidmaster Flush ’N Sparkle bleach kit, which won't require you to do any scrubbing. Just install this cleaning + bleaching system to do all the work for you as you flush — each cartridge lasts for three months, so you can have your porcelain throne looking like perfection in no time *and* for an entire season!

    Promising review: “This works absolutely phenomenally. I would clean the bowl area every weekend like clockwork to remove mold or something. Our municipal water system may not inject enough chlorine to prohibit? But toilet cleaning is a breeze now!!! Works on the Koehler new low flush systems…amazing. No chlorine damage to rubber parts either like other devices! Pretty simple instructions to install." —CdrW

    Get it for $10 and a two-pack of replacement cartridges for $10.98, both from Amazon.

    22. A drawer organizer set containing five compartments so your storage can look like less of an overflowing junk drawer and more like a mood board made for Instagram.

    Promising review: "Perfect for a standard size bathroom drawer! All five containers fit and I’m able to separate out my hair products/brush/comb, hair ties, razor blades, and the misc. Items such as headbands for face washing. The frosted look is great and just what I desired. Almost wish I had more drawers to organize with these!" —Jen

    Get the five-piece set from Amazon for $15.99+ (also available in a 10- or 20-piece set).

    23. A power scrubber set with three attachment brushes to show bathroom scum who's boss. Just attach any of the heads to a drill and watch them get to work on tight corners of the tub, flat tiled surfaces, and even spot jobs so you can forget all about the fact that someone else used to use your shower.

    This set contains three different size and shape brushes to meet different needs.

    Drill Brush is a small biz based in Upstate New York — their founder, a former electrician living with carpal tunnel, wanted to create products that make cleaning faster and easier without the strain of hand-scrubbing.

    Promising Review: "My shower has never been this clean! I have tried so many scrubbers, been sore from trying to remove soap scum, and just left disappointed. This product was easy to use and cleaned dirt I didn’t even know was dirt in my shower!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six levels of brush stiffness from soft [the white one] to ultra [the black bristle]).

    24. A hexagonal toilet paper holder so artistic, you'll want to hang it up in your ~Loo-vre~ (sorry, had to). Function and fashion, together, so your TP can be up and on display instead of collecting dust on the ground.
