Problem area: the bathtub
1. A jetted tub cleaner that'll clean the inside of your tub — like the inside, inside. This cleanser will quickly flush out soap scum and body oils that are gunking up your tub's jets, and you won't even have to pick up a sponge.
2. A set of drill brush attachments if you gave up on baths a long time ago because getting your tub sparkly clean didn't feel possible. No more furiously scrubbing your tub; instead, just attach the brush head and flip the switch on your drill. Why work harder when you could work smarter?
FYI: The yellow brush is a medium bristle brush designed for bathroom surfaces. The other colors are better suited for different surfaces based on their stiffness.
Promising review: "My bathtub has 5 years of calcium and hard water buildup. I loved that there were different attachments, depending on your needs and the amount of hard scrubbing you need. The brushes attached to my drill very easily! After 5 minutes of use (without any additional help from cleaning agents), I have to say that I was impressed to see the calcium buildup melt away before my eyes. I am actually impressed and am really glad I made this purchase!" —Meredith B.
Get a set of four drill brushes from Amazon for $6.95+ (available in several brush stiffnesses).
3. A bath overflow drain cover so you can enjoy a few extra inches of toasty water instead of sitting in water only up to your belly button and feeling scammed.
Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water, and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in nine colors).
4. An electric waterproof bubble massage mat with a built-in heater to make your regular old baths feel like you're soaking in a hot tub. Imagine how nice it would feel to marinate in this after a stressful day...
Note that the suction cups will stick best if you do not have a textured tub.
Promising review: "The SereneLife bath mat is everything I wanted it to be. This has turned my garden tub in my apartment into a very nice Jacuzzi tub. It feels really great on sore muscles and aerates the bubble bath to be very aromatic. The jets are really strong and feel nice on your body." —Megan
Get it from Amazon for $134.05.
5. A plush bath pillow because you don't want to end your bath more sore than you were when you first got in the tub. *gives current bath pillow a stink eye because it always gives me a crick in my neck* This pillow won't slip, slide, or budge thanks to the built-in suction cups and has a padded headrest.
Promising review: "This took my bath relaxing game to a new level. I love how comfortable this is, and the suction cups do a great job of staying in place. It has a nice hook so that you can hang it up to air dry, and on top of that, it comes with a little case to put it in when you throw it in the washer! I love this product and have caught even my husband using it some of the time. I would 100% buy again if I had to, but I have had it a few months, and the quality looks like it will last." —Victorya williams
Get it from Amazon for $37.99.
Problem area: the shower
6. A bleach-free, no-scrub weekly shower spray for making soap scum and shower grime buildup vanish without you ever having to wipe. Rinse it clean the next day, and you'll be amazed to see those hard water stains on your shower door are *poof* gone.
Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits and dirt and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $20.98.
7. A mold and mildew remover gel that you can set, forget, and come back to in a few hours to see grout that looks like new. I'm talking basically every speck of black mold is gone! *Cues up "Do You Believe in Magic"*
Promising review: "Wow! I would give this 10 stars if I could. We've had issues for a few years with the caulking behind the handle of our kitchen faucet turning black from mildew. We've scrubbed with what seems like a million different products with no luck. We were actually just talking about ripping out the caulking and doing a total replacement. But my husband saw this online the other day and decided to order it. Almost immediately, when he applied it, you could see it was starting to work. We left it on overnight, and the black is COMPLETELY GONE! It's incredible. It's 1,000% worth the (small) investment. Seriously — just buy this. It's amazing!!" —Nicole D.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
8. A rust-remover spray so you no longer avoid looking at your shower because of embarrassing stains. This cleanser will obliterate those streaks in the blink of an eye.
Promising review: "Worked great and super fast. My bathtub has a dip where water collects unless it's squeegeed out, but even then, some water remains. Well, it began to rust, and no amount of scrubbing or bleach could clean it. I got this product and sprayed it over the rise spots, and within five minutes, I saw it starting to clear up, and in15 minutes it was all gone." —Joshlynne
Get it from Amazon for $11.55.
9. A shower curtain liner with mesh pockets if your poor toes have suffered the pain of heavy shampoo and conditioner bottles falling onto them every time you step into the shower.
Promising review: "This is the perfect storage solution for our tiny NYC bathroom and so much better than a shower head hook caddy. It's great that the pockets are mesh so as not to hold water/get gross." —Emily Tozer
Get it from Amazon for $16.98+ (available in gray and mesh).
Read my colleague's Maytex Quick Dry Pockets Shower Curtain review for more deets!
10. A pack of double shower hooks to save you time when you wanna toss your dirty shower curtain liner in the washing machine. Now you don't have to remove the shower curtain too (and then inevitably hang it up backwards). And one certified genius even used the hooks as pant hangers. *mind blown*
Promising review: "Wow. Game-changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn't you want to save yourself some time with these hooks? Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. Added bonus is the rings themselves: The balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart
Get a 12-pack from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in 12 finishes).
11. A set of two adhesive shower shelves so stacking your bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash doesn't feel like playing Tetris on your shower's ledges.
Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they've stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I'm so impressed! I'm sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install; they look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It's so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in four colors).
12. A drain clog remover that'll conquer the hair monster in your shower drain, simultaneously impressing and disgusting you.
Promising review: "When I pulled the orange plastic spiked strip from the package, I was immediately skeptical and felt like all those five-star reviews were from people who exist in an alternate universe. I was tempted to initiate a return on Amazon but decided that I might as well gamble on a piece of $9 plastic before gambling $200 on a plumber. I slipped the plastic strip down my shower drain, and literally FIVE SECONDS LATER, I was pulling up gobs and gobs and gobs of hair. HOLY COW!!!!!!!! OHMYGOSH. I can't believe I still have any hair left on my head. SO MUCH REPULSIVE GUNK!!!! I saved my prize hairball on the shower floor to show my husband because I knew he would be as skeptical as I was. We both agree it looks like a small raccoon or a large squirrel lying helplessly on my shower floor. It's a grisly, messy, smelly, and oh-so-rewarding job." —Chocolate and Chips
Get a six-pack from Amazon for $8.99 (available in orange and green).
13. And a TubShroom because your relaxing showers have turned into you standing in a puddle of water for 15 minutes because the drain is clogged...again. This little guy snags the hair you shed before it can collect in the pipes.
Promising review: "I have long hair and recently had a baby. This means the poor tub drain is getting clogged every time we turn around, and we're spending ridiculous amounts of time with that spiky stick thing you shove down there and then pull out over and over. I figured if this even worked to catch half of my hair, then it would be worth its salt. Holy moly. When they say it catches every hair, they aren't kidding. We clean it off about twice A WEEK! And when they say it's easy to clean, they are right again. A swipe with toilet paper and the hair blob comes right off to be flushed down the toilet. I've already told so many people about this product because I love it so much. Fantastic!!!" —sasamo
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in five colors).
14. A shower door cleaner so your glass doors glisten and gleam. Because no, you did not opt for frosted doors. Wipe away hard water stains, calcium buildup, rust streaks, and more — just try not to walk into your sparkling clean shower doors!
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 non-abrasive sponge for glass, it turned out beautiful just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP
Get it from Amazon for $11.65.
15. A magnetic soap holder if you're tired of gunky soap bars that sit in their juices between showers. 🤮 Just press the magnet into the bar of soap and it'll adhere to the included base so your soap can dry out between uses and last a long longer.
Promising review: "Who knew that the solution to all of my soap bars getting mushy and gross was this small magnet? It's aesthetic in my bathroom and holds any size soap — it really is an ingenious invention. It adhered very well to my mirror and was easy to install. A true game changer." —Irene
Get it from Amazon for $11.95.
Problem area: bathroom floors
16. A power scrubber because you have no desire to schedule a six-hour cleaning session this weekend. It's basically an electric toothbrush, but for cleaning tile grout and hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. This is gonna save you so much time and effort.
Promising reviews: "I have a senior pup who has accidents on our tile, and I had to clean them! This thing is no joke. I got some grout cleaning solution at Lowe's and went to it, and I could see the residue breaking up. I would just use an old tag to wipe excess and steam my floors. Turned out looking better and immediately smelled fresher!" —BV
"I was upset with how grimy my laminate floors were — even after regular sweeping and mopping. Then I tried this little beauty. It made it so simple! I could see the grimy spots disappear, and it didn't scratch the surface. The structure of the head also allowed me to clean along the cracks and crevasses. Yes, it is going to take me a long time to do the whole floor, but much less time than just using elbow grease alone. Love it, love it, love it!" —jenmoocat
Get it from Amazon for $19.67.
17. Or a grout pen that'll cover up the mortifyingly large amount of dirt and grime that has fallen into the cracks. It works like a regular marker, so even the people who failed art can use it. And it beats actually having to clean! 🙃
Promising review: "I used this product five years ago on the bathroom floor of a house we bought. It had beautiful beige tile and hideous orange grout. After cleaning the grout with a paste of OxiClean, I applied the pen. It covered [the grout] completely, and I have beige grout. It has lasted without reapplying for five years. The floor is washed every week. We recently bought a vacation condo with beige tile and orange grout in the shower. I used the white pen, and the shower looks brand new. Now I ordered more for the floor." —Pamela Brucker
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two tip widths and other colors).
18. A set of peel-and-stick floor tiles that'll hide any ugly flooring that came with your rental. These five-layer tiles are durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean!
Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we built a house. We wanted to do a little updating, but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self-adhesive flooring, and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great, and it's been a few weeks, and we've had no issues. I love the texture, and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine
Get a set of 10 tiles from Amazon for $14.50.
Problem area: the toilet
19. A Clorox ToiletWand cleaning kit for powering through tough rust, lime, and calcium streaks you have to explain to your guests are not poop stains — I swear! Give your tired arms a break and let this little guy scrub away discoloration with ease. Each abrasive head has soap built in and is disposable so you can toss it when you're done.
This set includes 1 ToiletWand, 1 storage caddy, and 6 disposable ToiletWand 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 builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before and after pictures attached (above)." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
20. Or a Scrubbing Bubbles toilet cleaning stamp so you can polish your toilet without ever having to pick up a dirty toilet brush. *shudders* The stamp releases the cleaning gel, which foams and cleans your toilet.
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 six stamps from Amazon for $4.99.
21. A toilet tank cleaner to obliterate hard water deposits and ugly stains in your toilet's water tank.
Promising review: "The minute I dumped the product into the tank, I could see bits of deposits breaking off. I let it sit overnight, flushed it, and used a longer scrub brush to reach in and get the remaining crud. Not totally perfect, but way better than it was." —Reviewer
Get it from Amazon for $7.45.
22. The ToiletShroom because it does it all — it's a plunger, dredger tool, and squeegee in one handy device. Store it in its matching caddy when it's not in use.
Promising review: "Please don't hesitate to buy this! I had a severe clog that didn't want to move! I tried with my old plunger, and I tried putting bleach in overnight. It still wouldn't clear out, and I tried the home remedies Google suggested. I went to Walmart online and discovered this revolutionary new type of plunger. The Toilet Shroom is the real deal! It didn't take 5 minutes to get rid of the clog that nightmares are made of! Please follow the directions on the box because it is the key to getting rid of the clog!" —Walmart Customer
23. A toilet seat lifter if you have no desire to actually touch what's probably a very dirty toilet seat. It may also encourage your partner or roommate to actually lower the seat when they're done peeing...well...one can hope!
Reviewers say this is also helpful for people who have arthritis or for whom gripping the seat is difficult.
Promising review: "One of my pet peeves is having to touch the toilet seat. I sanitize my home daily, if not hourly, and the handle makes cleaning the toilet so much more tolerable. The handle doesn't get splatter on it. Super easy to install, and the adhesive sticks perfectly. It comes with extra adhesions if needed. I wipe down everything with wipes or bleach and paper towel, and I'm done." —Allie Fast
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $11.97 (available in two colors).
24. A hidden toilet brush that'll sit neatly behind your toilet's water tank, camouflaging itself until you need it. No space for a toilet brush holder in your itty bitty bathroom? No problem!
Promising review: "The brush works like any other toilet brush, but we love that it is hidden. You have to look very hard to see it, but it is easily accessible if you need it. It was also easy to assemble — just click two parts together and hang off the toilet bowl. I would recommend buying this product." —Ariel
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
Problem area: the drawers/cabinets
25. A wood polish and conditioner so you can hide the signs of wear and tear and water damage on your bathroom cabinets.
Promising review: "My bathroom cabinets had a lot of wear from the steam from showers and baths. I want to replace them, but I decided I would try this first. It's very easy to apply: Wait 20 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Filled in the places where the varnish was gone and showing raw wood and brightened up the finish. Looks much, much better for an easy and cheap fix. Very pleased with this product." —Dog Lovers
Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in three sizes).
26. A two-tier sliding shelf because there are cabinets in your bathroom that everyone knows to absolutely never open for fear of triggering an avalanche of junk. These durable baskets are up to the task of corralling all the random bits and bobs you own, so every bit of storage space is usable.
Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sectionals' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." —Tess De Pretis
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in four colors, three styles, and with or without dividers).
27. A set of interlocking drawer organizers for anyone who's tired of rooting around for their contacts case. You can customize the arrangement to fit the space available in your bathroom cabinet drawers.
Madesmart is a woman-owned business!
Promising review: "Wow, my bathroom drawers are ELEVATED now. They look clean as hell, and I can actually find stuff. Easy to snap together and organize how you'd like. Definitely buying a second set for my kitchen drawers!" —Toni Bish
Get eight interlocking bins from Amazon for $9.87+ (available in three colors).
28. An over-cabinet hair care station to transform the tangled mess of heat-styling tools. It's too bad no one will see how nicely and neatly you stored them once you shut the cabinet door.
Promising review: "This product did exactly what I needed it to. Before, all my items were in a drawer, and the cords were a pain, but this metal basket minimized clutter, kept things organized and separate, and also looked nice. It fits two of my blow dryers, a flat iron, and a curling wand. Worth the buy." —Alyssa Jewell
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five finishes).
Problem area: unusable space/nooks and crannies
29. An over-the-door towel rack because there never seems to be enough space in the bathroom for hand towels, face towels, *and* bath towels.
Promising review: "The house we bought has a small bathroom and no towel racks. We plan on redoing it anyway, so this has been a great temporary solution. On the back of the door and out of the way. Super easy to assemble — this is coming from someone who dies a little when they have to assemble ANYthing. The only thing I'll ding it on is that it's so lightweight it bangs on the door when drying your hands on a hanging towel. Other than that, good product and a good price. Can't beat that!" —Rose W.
Get it from Amazon for $20.29.
30. A slender storage cabinet for that odd bit of extra space between your toilet and the wall (or your toilet and the tub/shower) that is currently sitting unused because you're not sure what the heck will fit there.
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 $14.32+ (available in five sizes and six colors).
31. A curved two-tier shelf to grant your wish for extra bathroom storage even if you have a pedestal sink.
Promising review: "The item is neither too big nor too small for my pedestal sink area, which is tiny, and the bathroom itself has no room for any type of standing table for brushes, makeup, etc. I use small plastic cups to hold a variety of hair clips and have jars of skincare cream, and I find this curved open shelving to be convenient for that. For me, the assembly was not hard or very time-consuming. It's nicely lightweight to lift, and I have rust-proofing spray to spray on it to protect the metal from the effects of water moisture." —Carolyn
Get it from Amazon for $47.99 (available in two colors).
Problem area: bathroom counters
32. A tub of The Pink Stuff so you can restore your sinks and bathroom surfaces when hard water stains, dried-up toothpaste, and spilled makeup overstay their welcome.
Promising review: "I bought this because of all the hype on TikTok, and I wasn't expecting much, to be honest. I have these glass shower doors that have been watermarked for a while. I usually use a Magic Eraser, but that doesn't take them away very well. But after putting this on a microfiber towel and simply rubbing it in, it is as clear as it was the day we bought them; I cannot believe this! I can't wait to clean other things! I would recommend gloves because I didn't use gloves, and I can feel my finger is a little scratched up from the little particles in it." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $5.29.
33. A space-creating "Sink Topper" that'll function as both a surface for your beauty products as well as a heat-resistant mat for hot tools *and* a makeup brush cleaning mat (thanks to its textured surface)!
Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats.
Promising review: "I was introduced to this item through TikTok, and they aren't joking when they place certain videos on your 'For You page' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks, and I love the material. It doesn't slide around, it's wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs, and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." —Allie West
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes).
34. A sheet of marble-effect contact paper to cover up the awful laminate countertops. It's oil-proof and waterproof, so it can stand up to spills.
Promising review: "For $5 a roll, this is a great product. If you're willing to take the time, be precise, and be patient, this is the product for you. We used it to upgrade our bathroom on a budget, and the results were spectacular. The key is to remove the backer as you go and work little by little. If you do this, you will not have any issues with bubbling. I also used an X-acto knife and a scoring bone to be as precise as possible. This is perfect for a budget improvement." —Amazon Customer
Get a roll from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in five sizes).
35. A toothbrush station because it automatically dispenses toothpaste for you = fewer opportunities for messy kiddos or roommates from getting toothpaste all over the cap and counters.
It holds five toothbrushes and four cups, and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube.
Promising review: "I am SO happy I bought this for my bathroom! It looks so clean, it is easy to install, and it is easy to clean when toothpaste gets on it! The design is simple yet genius! My 5-year-old uses it with ease, and she doesn't make a mess with the toothpaste tube anymore! I am extremely satisfied, and I have had it for 3 months now. TikTok made me buy it LOL!" —Stephanie Mendoza
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in three colors).
36. A large-capacity rotating makeup organizer that'll neatly store your makeup and skincare so you can reclaim the already limited counter space in your bathroom.
