1. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to keep the soap scum and grime away so your shower is always in tip-top shape. Plus, you don't even have to scrub! Just leave the spray on for 8-12 hours and then rinse it with warm water. It's a lazy, yet effective way to keep your shower spotless.
Promising review: "This stuff is a lifesaver. Life is tremendously busy with kids and cleaning the shower is at the bottom of the list. I bought this due to pure frustration and disgust of my shower and it has turned it around in a weekend. You literally spray it and forget it and just with that little effort, I have a clean shower!! Also great for glass doors. It cleaned everything! Love it!" —Amanda Nichols
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents, two sizes, and multipacks).
2. A pack of Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning gels you can stamp in to make sure that toilet bowl stays clean. It'll give the bowl a little wash every time your toilet flushes — and each gel stamp lasts for up to 12 days.
Check out a TikTok of the Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp to see it in action!
Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work but the gel solidifies and with every flush, suds wash through with the water and it really makes a fresh difference. Also the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting but they do the job." —Janet
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $4.44+ (available in two scents).
3. Or an automatic toilet cleaning system that provides scrub-free and hands-free cleaning for your convenience. Each powerful bleach cartridge lasts for up to three months, without causing damage to your toilet parts.
Plus, it's super quick to install.
Promising review: "I've installed these in all six toilets in my home and they are a great idea. I've been using this for about four to five years. This device circulates bleach product into the toilet bowl after every flush, where it is needed to prevent staining such as water lines from calcium buildup. The chlorine water is restricted to the bowl, not the tank. If chlorine is in the tank it will erode away the flapper and foam seal which separates the tank from the bowl, requiring more expensive repairs. This product solves that problem with no drawbacks and don't look unsightly like the clamp-on bars of chlorine that are permanently inside the bowl." —Dr. D123
Get it from Amazon for $10.53.
4. A jar of internet-beloved The Pink Stuff — this all-purpose cleaning paste has over 112,000 5-star reviews for a reason! 🌟 It can help remove even the toughest stains, dirt, grime, and rust from your tub, walls, counter, glass, floors, you name it!
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 LOVE THIS STUFF!! It will get ANYTHING UP. I used it to to get weeks old hair dye off my white sink cabinet in the bathroom. Be careful with paint though because it will start to take off the paint as well." —Marie01
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
5. A jetted tub cleaner so you can get the junk out of your tub and actually have a nice, relaxing bubble bath. There can be plenty of dirt and dead skin cells hiding in those jets and they have no business sticking around. Simply run your water, pour in some cleaner, and start your jets.
You run your bath, add the cleaner, watch the gunk emerge, drain your bath, and then clean off the gunk!
Promising review: "It's disgusting to see what comes out of your jets when you use this product. I can't believe we bathed in this! I've run bleach and dish detergent through my jets before, and that combination never cleaned with this efficiency. I highly recommended this product." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
6. A bottle of No-Drip Foam Mold & Mildew Stain Remover, because the foam clings to vertical surfaces and crevices and all you have to do is wait for the stains and grime to vanish and then wipe it away. Use it on your tub, tile, grout, sinks, counters, and more.
Check out a TikTok of the Mold & Mildew Stain Remover in action.
Promising review: "I love this cleaner! I used to spend hours with bathroom cleaners with bleach and a scrub brush in my white tile shower never getting the shower clean! I now spray this on the shower and walk away and in a short amount of time my shower tile is WHITE with ZERO scrubbing." —Suzanne
Get two bottles from Amazon for $22.99.
7. A bottle of The Bucko soap scum and grime remover spray if your tub is covered in years of residue that just won't wash away. This tough cleaner will dissolve all that grossness.
Promising review: "Sharing our nasty before picture so you can really see the difference! Our tub/shower has a grippy bottom and scum and dirt cakes on there so easily. The only way I've been able to get it off before was literally scraping it inch by inch, I've spent hours and all it ever got was somewhat clean - never enough for me to want to take a real bath in it. This stuff is expensive but with the good reviews I decided to try it, it works amazingly!! I sprayed it on (it came with a great spray nozzle and a lid) and left it for about 15–20 minutes. Then I took a brush with hard plastic bristles (I believe a soft brush would have even worked) and with less than 20 minutes of scrubbing the entire tub and walls it was cleaner than when we moved in. The grime and scum almost like melted off. It smells pleasant, it's not crazy strong smelling but in an enclosed space I still felt the need to wear a mask while cleaning." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available with or without spray nozzle or in a bigger size).
8. A pumice stone you'll want to keep your bathroom clean of hard water stains and other gross buildup — no one enjoys sitting on a yucky toilet.
Promising review: "We rented a home and the toilets were disgusting. Someone suggested a pumice stone and let me tell you it was amazing!! The picture is after just five minutes with the stone. I tried bleach, every toilet bowl cleaner available, and countless hours of scrubbing to no avail...but this stone worked instantly! I will be buying several more!! The stone does dissolve when scrubbing so you need a couple. I was able to do almost two toilets completely that looked awful with one stone!!" —CristaCross
Get it from Amazon for $10.79.
9. And in case the situation is a bit more extreme, a toilet wand cleaning system which includes a wand, caddy, and six disposable refills, for you to eliminate the germs and stains from your toilet without having to reach down in there or touch anything gross. The scrub pads are preloaded with cleaner, so it's both convenient and effective.
Includes a wand, storage caddy, and six disinfecting wand head refills.
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 semi-regular 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 pic attached." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
10. An ~intense~ grout cleaning spray so you can remove years of product residue, dirt, grease, and stains from your tiled floor. And it's acid-free. You probably forgot what the original floor even looked like — prepare to be amazed.
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be able to clean my grout out again without hiring someone professional to do it! But this cleaner did the wonder!!! I used it with my steam cleaner and here's the before and after pictures! I did dry brush it before I used the steam cleaner and I saw all the dirt getting out! It really works! It was hard work though, if I ever get a bigger house I might just hire someone to do it." —Chen
Get it from Amazon for $19.98.
11. Or an incredibly powerful grout cleaner to help you remove any beauty product residue, dirt, and stains from your ceramic or porcelain tile floor. Apply the cleaner directly to the grout, let it sit for 5–10 minutes, give it a light scrub, and then rinse with warm water. Trust me, it's called Grout-eez for a reason.
Promising review: "We moved into our house a year ago and I’ve been on a quest to clean the grout next to the stove ever since then. I’ve tried everything — store products, DIY solutions, Pinterest recommendations, you name it. As a last resort I got this and holy cow! I left it on for three minutes as a spot test at first and I could already see a huge difference. I then did two more rounds letting it sit for five minutes each. The scent's not bad, it was fine if I had the window open, it was just being down close to it that got me. Seriously, stop looking and buy this." —Britney Phillips
Get it from Amazon for $21.95.
12. A mold and mildew remover, because those tubs and showers can get gross within the blink of an eye. No scrubbing needed — just spray the surface, let it sit for about five minutes, and rinse it off. This powerful spray kills 99.9% of household mold and mildew and works to lift soap scum.
This product is safe to use on glazed and unglazed ceramic tile, grout, vinyl, fiberglass, and plastic.
Promising review: "Nothing removes mold and mildew from my shower like Tilex. I'm not the best Suzy Homemaker, so my shower can get kinda gross looking. I used the Tilex and my shower was noticeably cleaner after just soaking in the spray for a few minutes. I then scrubbed a bit and even better! Now to get a smaller brush so that I can scrub the bottom better." —Mteren
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $16.99.
13. A set of detail brushes to get all of the cracks and crevices in your lavatory squeaky clean.
14. A millipede-like hair remover covered in tiny hooks to grab all of the hair and build-up that's been stopping your sink or tub from draining properly. It's tough, yet flexible so you can get down in there and yank out all the grossness.
Promising review: "This is the best product ever for getting rid of hair clogs in sink and tub drains! I have two teenage girls with long curly hair and despite them gathering hair that they find in the tub after showering, it still clogs from time to time. All I have to do is put down the drain millipede and it pulls out the hair and removes the black gunk on the side of the drain. It's absolutely disgusting and smells horrible BUT gets the job done without chemicals and a plumber. A must have for every tub/shower drain!!" —D. Darr
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
And check out more ways to avoid having to call the plumber.
15. Or some Green Gobbler Drain Clog Dissolver that'll help get rid of all the hair and soap that have been making your bathroom drains work slower than the time it takes for them to release a new season of your favorite show on Netflix (I'm looking at you, Stranger Things).
Promising review: "OK... So I have to do a little review on this product BECAUSE I have had a stopped-up kitchen sink and have LITERALLY tried EVERYTHING down to the industrial products with NO luck. I decided to go on Amazon and read a few reviews. This is the one I decided to go with. I only used one chamber, let it sit for an hour, and then used boiling water. My sink is NO LONGER stopped up!!! I saved a plumber bill and this was $11.97. HUGE win for this woman!!" —Tabpeach
Get it from Amazon for $11.84.
16. And a TubShroom to help prevent gross blockage in your shower from happening again. Just place it in your drain and let it catch all of your hair before it gets caught in the pipes and leaves you standing in a puddle of water.
This little wonder fits inside of the drain and you can easily remove it and pull off hair at least once a week. You'll even enjoy how grossed out seeing all that hair makes you!
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but for a few bucks I gave it a go. I'm lazy and I live with two ladies (who are also lazy). The tub drain doesn't get addressed nearly enough. I'd usually be the one pulling nasty balls of long hair out of the drain catch just so the tub would actually drain during a shower EVERY DAY. With this bad boy, once a week and you don't even notice a slow down in the drainage." —Jason
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in six colors; also in a sink version).
17. An all-purpose cleaner concentrate made with plant-based ingredients that you can simply mix with water and spray on your dirty surfaces for a good scrub down. It'll leave your bathroom looking spotless and smelling great — plus, you can use it all over the house.

18. A Beard King trimmings catcher sure to help avoid a ~hairy~ situation when your partner or roommate has to shave, but you literally JUST finished cleaning the bathroom. This will help keep all their trimmings off the floor and counter and easy to dispose of.
Promising review: "My girlfriend bought this for me as a present. At first I was skeptical to use, but once I got my hands out it there was no going back. I use my Beard Bib anywhere two to four times a week and cannot live without it. Not only does this serve a big purpose in my trimming routine but now I no longer have to argue with my girlfriend about all the mess that I USED to create. Also, we ordered a beard oil recently and reached out to customer support about the different scents they offer, they were super helpful! Overall it has been an awesome experience and they’ve truly made me feel like a King!" —Timur
Get it from Amazon for $11.30+ (available in four colors and two versions).
19. A powerful spray to help get rid of stubborn mold and mildew stains in your bathroom, on your patio, and more. And you don't even have to scrub! Just spray the area and watch the stains (and musty odors) vanish.
Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes and various packs).
20. An all-purpose scrubber kit — it comes with three different brushes you can attach to your drill and use to remove any of that hard-to-clean grossness that's caked up on your shower, floor, walls, sink, etc. What would have taken you hours to scrub can now be accomplished in minutes! You're welcome.
Promising review: "I bought this on a whim because my walk-in shower is just a pain to clean. I'm 51 and I guess I've just been old school with how I clean, hand scrubbing for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower more clean than it has been in years. In the corners, the floor, the glass door...everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six bristle stiffnesses).
21. A shower door cleaner to finally get rid of the soap scum and hard water stains and make it so that the place where you clean yourself is, well, clean.
Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit — the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass. It turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Get it from Amazon for $11.65.
22. An all-natural glass cleaner, because those toothpaste splatters and water drops on your bathroom mirror have got to go.

Promising review: "I got this to clean my shower after each use. Could not believe all the water that it removed. I had been wiping it down with a towel before. Using the squeegee even made the tile shine. Overall, great product." —Richard Kraus
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
24. And finally, an electric cordless power scrubber with an extendable handle and replaceable rotating brush heads, guaranteed to assist you in removing tough grime from every inch of the restroom — even that gross area behind the toilet or the crevices of your shower you could never reach.
The entire set is cordless, so you can easily move around your bathroom. Each brush is designed to tackle different things, from grout to shower walls.
Promising review: "This cut down the time of cleaning my shower significantly! It’s so easy to use. I got it on sale so the price was 100% worth it. It came with different cleaning heads that help me clean in the corners and the top is bendable. Very good in hard-to-reach areas and takes pressure off of my back!" —Nia
Get it from Amazon for $49.97 (available in two colors).
We know, cleaning the bathroom sucks, but it MUST be done!
