Promising review: "You will not regret buying these. They work SO well. I had constant draining issues in my shower and so I figured I would search 'Hair Drain' on Amazon. Lo and behold, there I was searching for tools to clean out my drain. I did not expect these 'drain snakes' to work so well! They are made out of sturdy plastic and I was able to use it both on my shower AND my sink drains before being too grossed out and needing to throw it away." —Nhi

Are you grossed out by the fact that your old toilet brush is sitting in literal filth? Then this scrubber kit is for you. It includes a wand, storage caddy, and six refill sponges, the latter of which you could toss after just one use. Plus the cleaning liquid needed is built-in so you really don't have to do anything at all!
Promising review: "Nothing could be easier than this. Just swish and toss! The soft squishy sponge gets under the rim easily, unlike a stiff brush. The best part, of course, is that you dispose of the sponge after just one use. No more keeping that dirty brush under the bathroom sink! This system is a keeper and I bought one for every bathroom in my house." —Carol Lynn

This one has two razor hooks, and two swivel baskets so you can accommodate taller bottles just by pivoting them to allow for size variety.
Promising review: "I loved it when my husband installed a handheld shower head, but realized I would have to give up the caddy that held soap and shampoo. I liked this product so much I bought two more for the other two bathrooms. I also like that it comes in different finishes." —Glued Together
Get it from Amazon for $22.99 (available in three finishes).
These melamine eraser sponges are super tough on stains, but won't damage the surface underneath said stain.
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be able to get the weird pink soap stains out of my tub. Picture someone scrubbing with cleaning products until their arms were sore, to no avail. But this worked with no effort! It's unbelievable. Please never let this go off the market!" —Catherine King

Promising review: "I am amazed! I honestly didn't think a 'natural' glass cleaner would work this well, but I was terrified by the chemicals found in my other glass cleaner, so I decided to give it a go. This product cleaned my mirrors and windows with zero streaks. It has a very light, pleasant aroma, and even after wiping down all the glass in my kitchen and bathrooms, I didn't have a sneezing fit like I often do after spraying cleaners. Will definitely purchase again!" —Lauren

Promising review: "I used to have to throw out expensive hair traps that sit over top of the drain after only a few weeks because you could never really get them fully clean. But not this thing! The genius is that the hair and scum get wrapped around the tubular part that sits down inside the drain. Why spend time and elbow grease really cleaning something like this just to avoid having something ugly down in your shower? This takes care of it; the top stays clean and it's all you ever see. No offensive soap-scum." —Amazon Customer

This concentrated formula clings to silicone sealants (so the thin area around your shower head, in between your tiles, etc.) and helps to prevent mold and mildew from popping up again.
Promising review: "This product deserves more than five stars. It is magic! I've tried everything for the mold in my tub tiles and grout, and nothing has worked — but not only did this remove the mold, but it left the grout looking really shiny. I couldn't be happier!" —Amazon Customer

Might also be a good time to wash those bathroom mats you're too scared to think about how moldy they are. Bitz 'n' Giggles has the step-by-step for washing a shower curtain liner.
Promising review: "Anyone with a small bathroom knows that free space is almost non-existent, and these have been so great. We bought two so we had one for each bathroom, and we were able to get the majority of our towels up on them and looking nice (which means we freed up space in the linen closet)!" —Amazon Customer

FYI: The stone material is specially made to avoid scratching. Plus the heavy-duty plastic handle protects your hands while you clean!
Promising review: "I'm so embarrassed to show how disgusting my toilets have been, but it's worth it for me to help anyone who has suffered as I have. We built our house and have lived in it 33 years. We dug a well and the water was beautiful, until air hit it. The copper, iron, and lime are all so high the chart doesn't even go that high. We have spent thousands on a huge filter that filters all the water coming into the house from the well. My toilets have been disgusting to me, though clean (as clean as I can get them). This pumice stone — HOLY MOLY — my toilets are clean!!!!! I am totally amazed. It took about 30 minutes on each one. The stains are gone. THEY ARE GONE!!!!!!" —Libby Nance

Promising review: "This is just what you need to clean your grout lines in the quickest way possible! I don't know what we were thinking when we decided to put subway tile in our shower, but we did, and cleaning the grout lines can be a very time-consuming job. But this brush really did a great job and sped up the process!" —Amanda E. King

Promising review: "I was a little unsure with how these jars/canisters were going to work, whether they'd be too big or small, but turns out they're just what I was looking for. After many years of use, the old cotton ball and Q-tip containers my kids had were scratched and ready to retire. Now that they have a longer counter, these jars fit side by side with their daily needs at their reach. I bought a set of three glass ones originally, but hesitated to put them in their bathroom for fear of finding out that they broke the glass, so I went with these instead. They look very high-quality, very shiny, and they each hold a lot of items.I love looking at these jars. They make the counter look neat!"—Mushi2Anone

The head is designed with three dual-edge blades for a streak-free and squeak-free coverage. The set includes one Squeegee (gray with black handle) and two silicone replacement blades. There's also a hook hole built into the handle so you can easily hang it up anywhere you'd like!
Promising review: "You'd think all squeegees are pretty much the same, but not true! In the field of squeegees this one is a standout. First of all, the blade is a thin strip of silicone, not rubber or plastic. That not only cuts a clean sharp swath across glass or other smooth surfaces, it also does an amazing job of gathering pet hair and lint from upholstered furniture, carpets and throw rugs. I have three small long haired dogs and nothing would remove the fur they left behind; not even the famed Dyson Animal, but this squeegee cleans it right up! It's a minor miracle! Add to that the fact that you get, not one, but three easily replaceable blades and you are practically set for life. And all that for a really reasonable price. You just can't beat it! If you need a squeegee, this is the one!" —Karla

Promising review: "Wahhhh! So gross! This process caused dry heaves and I don't even have a weak stomach. I had just cleaned my jets two weeks prior and they were running clean with no 'black monsters' shooting out. I just thought they were clean. Oh no. I was wrong. Ran once with Oh Yuk and this greasy green and brown and black goo kept coming out. Then I ran a tub of pure water and all these flakes of biofilm were floating around which I've never seen. So I'm assuming the Oh Yuk loosened this stuff up from the tubes. I noticed that if I cut the jets on and off several times it's almost like the pressure just made more and more shoot out. I would recommend turning them on and off several times as well as running them for 15 minutes. I will never ever use a public hot tub again. I'm here to order a gallon of this stuff. I recommend this to any jetted tub owners!" —KW

Not only are these easy to clean, they also have drainer holes so water does just sit at the bottom and get moldy in between rinses.
Promising review: "I didn't even know I needed this as much as I really did. This is a fantastic little organization gadget that I am super duper delighted to have found. This fits perfectly inside my tub, doesn't sway like I feared, and holds everything I need. Great quality. I highly recommend." —El B

This stuff also works great against all types of pesky problems. Mildew, mold, rust, you name it!
Promising review: "Oh my gosh, this product is amazing! I didn't have much faith initially since we have extremely hard water and it usually takes over two hours with a magic eraser to budge it. But in under an hour and hardly any effort later, this product wiped out my shower like magic. You do have to use it on a dry surface with the included cloth." —Alicia A Dennis

Promising review: "I was so bummed when I scratched up my pretty white sink with pots and pans. I thought I'd need to have it replaced or try to sand it and refinish it somehow, but I bought this stuff as a last ditch effort to fix it myself. It takes some elbow grease to make them go away, the scratches don't just wipe off, but if you scrub at them for a few minutes they melt away pretty quickly. After two rounds my sink looks nearly brand new again!" —Dan Borden
