1. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product you can use on a plethora of items and surfaces around your bathroom including but not limited to: toilets, shower/tub floors and doors, tile grout, sink fixtures, and pretty much anything else you can think of.
Promising review: "Oh my gosh — this stuff is a life changer! Used it to get my fiberglass shower totally clean. Nothing else would get it done and this stuff brought my shower back to near-new in one use. We’ve since cleaned a weird chalky film off our garage door, removed wall markings, and cleaned my storm door. We’ll never be without a jar (or three) of this stuff. Worth every penny." —Nancy F.
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
2. A FlexiSnake so you can unclog your hair-filled drain by simply ~snaking~ this tool down there, letting it grab the hair, pulling it back up, and deciding whether you should marvel at its abilities or gag.
More than 4,000 hook and loop micro-hooks cover the full 18-inch span of the snake. It's reusable! Just remove hair after use, and clean with soap, water, and a brush. It's compatible with most bathroom drains, without needing to take off the stopper.
Promising review: "I don’t write many reviews, but when something blows my mind like this, I have to! Not only did this remove an enormous amount of hair from my drain, it took less than 30 seconds to do so! I didn’t really read the instructions, but it’s pretty straightforward. Stuck it in the drain, cranked the handle, pulled it out. Voila, no more hair! Buy it! You won’t be disappointed." —Linsey Walker
Get a pack of five from Amazon for $19.99.
3. Or a TubShroom that'll collect your hair while in the shower/bath, so it doesn't go down the drain and clog it in the first place.
This fits any standard 1.5-inch tub drain or bathroom sink drain. But, if you want to keep your hair-catching separate between your tub and sink, then treat yourself and your home to the SinkShroom!
Promising review: "This is absolutely worth every penny. Kudos to the inventor of this product. I have thick long dark hair, and after two months of moving into my own apartment, my shower drain was completely clogged with all my hair. After being disgusted at the amount of hair I had to clean out with a snake (which is NOT a fun task), I decided I needed to purchase something to prevent it from happening again. I read about this product in a BuzzFeed article, and I have no regrets. It is so satisfying to clean out, and it does not lie when it says it catches every single hair. I have had it for close to four months without once instance of my shower drain backing up. This product is absolutely worth it." —JT
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in five colors).
4. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to scrub...like...at all. Just rinse it the next day and you're good to go. I know, I know, I'm crying tears of joy, too.
Promising review: "Had months of mold and mildew built up in the tub, as we are unable to bend or kneel. This product works as advertised. Spray and rinse two consecutive days and completely clean and shiny! Smells clean too. Will definitely reorder!" —Sheri D.
Get it from Amazon for $20.98 (available in two scents).
5. A wall-mounted towel holder that'll have your bathroom looking like a 5-star hotel bathroom in no time. Additional perk: You'll always have a towel within reach when you get out of the shower.
Promising review: "Absolutely love these! We have extra large towels and these racks hold them perfectly when rolled up! It's such a great modern style and gives the bathroom a great look. They are sturdy and come with wall anchors as well. Will be buying another set of these for our other bathroom, and perhaps another for the dining room for some wine bottles! Don't even have to think twice before buying these!" —Erin Cech
Get two from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).
6. And if you're looking for some nice towels to go with your new holder, this waffle towel set is a great option! These moisture-wicking towels boast being gentle on sensitive skin and will basically make your bathroom feel like your very own personal spa.
Set comes with one bath towel, one hand towel, and one washcloth.
Promising review: "High quality material that is quick drying. Look and feel are amazing and smooth as butter. Highly recommend hang drying or on delicate in the dryer. I use the the hand towel for my hair to dry it a little quicker so I can scrunch." —Kimberly H.
Get it from our Goodful shop for $51.80 (originally $144; available in five colors).
7. A drawer organizer because if you're gonna continue tossing your skincare products, dental supplies, and hair ties into the same little space, you might as well make it look nice and tidy.
8. A pumice toilet bowl ring remover so you can easily scratch away at those yucky stains without leaving behind scratch marks in the bowl.
Promising review: "I never thought I'd be this excited about a clean toilet. I had largely given up on our first floor toilet. Nothing would take out the ring along the waterline. But I saw this product in a BuzzFeed roundup and figured it was worth a shot. Tried it this morning and oh. my. goodness. It easily took out the ring and with some harder scrubbing, the rest of the stains/buildup/whatever the term is for the stuff that made the bowl look gross. It looks just about brand new! Definitely worth the purchase." —Courtney
Get it from Amazon for $11.30.
9. Or a toilet wand to prove wands of all sorts, even ones for cleaning toilets, are truly magical objects. Refer to disgusting photo below for evidence.
Comes with one ToiletWand, one storage caddy, and six disposable ToiletWand refills to kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses. Just click the wipe onto the wand, swish, scrub, and clean the bowl, pop the wipe off, and dispose in the trash.
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 (above)." —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $11.98.
10. A toilet tank cleaner that'll leave that area you never even THINK about cleaning looking good as new. And the best part? You don't have to scrub. You can thank us later.
Promising review: "I didn’t have much calcium or other hard mineral deposits in my two toilet tanks. But there was a fair amount of slimy sediment. One treatment cleaned up the tanks about 90%. I ordered another bottle of the cleaner and gave each tank a second treatment. The tanks now look like brand new! The important thing is to give the cleaner enough time to work. I put the cleaner in the tanks before I went to bed so it worked overnight." —Jack
Get it from Amazon for $7.66.
11. A stone creations spray to give your old-looking bathroom countertop a more current look. Not to mention, you can also use it to transform something like a glass vase or bottle into a gorg decorative piece!
Promising review: "Original review (from 2018): We recently purchased a new home, and we're not gutting our main bathroom until next summer, and I just couldn't live with that 1980s green another day. So, after reading a lot of tutorials, I decided to go for it and paint the counter. I LOVE how it came out! It's held up like a dream. I wouldn't use any heavy chemicals on it (but I wouldn't advise those period), but otherwise zero issues with it. (I had done this previously with a different color by a different brand and the outcome was similar, it held up like brand new for several months of daily abuse before I decided to repaint because I didn't really like the color). I think this will easily hold up until we remodel, and it looks great too. DEFINITELY better than that '80s green! Side Note: I see a lot of negative reviews on this product because it doesn't hold up for people outdoors. USE A SEALANT. Don't blame a product if you don't use it correctly. It's not rocket science folks. May 2020 Update: The countertop is just now starting to need (slight) touchups around the sink itself. We had to postpone the remodel until this summer, and this counter has held up like a champ. I couldn't be happier with this product!" —Mistella
Get it from Amazon for $10.53+ (available in four colors).
12. A grout pen that'll get your floors shining like the top of the Chrysler building in no time at all. Did you hire a fancy schmancy service to clean your tiles? Nope, you used a PEN to cover it all up.
Pen is ideal for use on floors and walls!
Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by how far these went. I did the entire floor of my bathroom plus a little of the shower with one pen. It is pretty forgiving and you have quite a bit of working time before it dries completely. This was not a quick task, but it went faster than I thought it would. I was worried the white would look too bright, but it just makes everything look so much cleaner. I'm very happy with this product!" —Jenelle
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and other colors).
13. Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser to help you get sinks, bathrubs, showers, faucets, toilets, tile, and grout in your bathroom looking as good, if not better, than the day they were installed.
Promising review: "I LOVE this stuff!!! It removed rust stains in my bathroom sinks in a minute. The water stains and discolored toilet bowls look like new. I can't wait to try it out in the kitchen. I will never be without this product!!!" —Zebra Girl
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
14. Peel-and-stick floor tile for giving old, outdated flooring a shake-up without needing a professional to come over and take out your floors.
While these are typically applied to the floor, you can totally use them on furniture, surfaces, and walls, too!
Promising review: "I've only had these on my bathroom floor for a month or so, but they seem like they'll hold up. They were a bit of a pain in the ass to cut, but I didn't have the best tools or patience. The price is bananas for how good these look! They really transformed the room for cheap." —Jenascia
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.90.
15. An over-the-door cabinet organizer to give your hair-styling tools their own tidy little storage spot that's not the same drawer where you keep your toothpaste and dental floss.
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 with this metal basket it minimized clutter, keeps things organized and separate, and it also looks nice. It fits two of my blow-dryers, a flat iron, and curling wand. The bars are adjustable, as well (just use the twist ties it came with to secure them in place). Worth the buy!" —Alyssa Jewell
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in six finishes).
16. A wood polish and conditioner for bringing your precious wooden cabinets back to factory condition. Did you just get your bathroom redone by an HGTV crew, or are you just super good at picking out cleaning products?
Promising review: "My bathroom cabinets had a lot of wear from the steam from showers and baths. I want to replace them but 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 $9.19.
17. A power scrubber to make quick work of dirty grout, soap scum, and other tough gunk.
My colleague Natalie Brown owns this and loves it. Here's her review:
"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."
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
18. Or check out this power scrubbing cleaning kit that can do everything the gadget above can do — just tack the attachment head onto a drill if you have one handy and scrub away!
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York. Its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel who started the company to create products that'll allow folks like him to clean pain-free.
It comes with three different sizes and shapes of brushes. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. BTW, the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
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, so I was hand scrubbing it for years. The FIRST time I used this to clean my shower, it took five minutes AND it scrubbed my shower cleaner 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 several brush stiffness levels).
19. An expandable rack for keeping all of your under-the-sink items accessible and orderly.
Promising review: "Great product for a great price. Very sturdy, but lightweight and small — under my bathroom sink is *very* small, and the metal frame is thin enough that it doesn't take up much space, and of course it allows me to utilize the empty vertical space instead of shoving things all the way to the back wall. I might rearrange the shelves, but it's just held with screws on each end so that's easy enough to do. Comes with two supports for two shelves, but you can choose from four heights/positions. 👍🏻 Might need to order a second for under the kitchen sink..." —Calvin Laszakovits
Get it from Amazon for $22.87+ (available in three finishes).
20. A Shower Cat hair catcher — a simple wall-adhesive solution to get if at any point your shower wall or door has resembled a yuckier version of an abstract painting, except instead of colors, it was just all the hair you shed.
Shower Cat is a small business established in 2021 specializing in products to prevent shower clogs.
Promising review: "I first saw this product on TikTok and I knew immediately that I needed it. I just moved into a new apartment and I didn’t want to be how I used to be, where I’d just let hair go down the drain and plug it eventually, or peel it off of the drain after each shower. It works great but I probably need some practice with it. I currently just floss my hair through it so it will hold them and there are a few stray hairs that don’t stick. I would recommend to anyone who is tired of putting your loose strands of hair on the shower wall." —Cari Schwartzkopf
Get it from Amazon for $14.95.
21. A granite countertop paint kit that'll turn your bathroom into the most envy-worthy room of your home in no time. Give those drab surfaces the fab upgrade you've been dreaming of!
Promising review: "I used this product to transform my guest bathroom and it came out amazing. It is so easy to use and the step-by-step instructions are easy to follow. Now I am going to do my kitchen countertops. This product is amazing!!!" —Melissa
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in five colors).
22. Or this surface cover if granite (or painting) isn't your thing — no worries! Try this instead for revamping your bathroom furniture and surfaces into beautiful "marble" pieces!
Check out our marble adhesive surface cover writeup to learn more about this inexpensive and super cool product!
Promising review: "Looks AMAZING. Really easy to use, just make sure you measure and get a piece big enough for your item so you don’t have to line up multiple pieces. Took less than 30 minutes to redo my buffet top from the dark brown granite it used to be." —Brittany renzoni
Get it from Amazon for $5.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save up to 10%; available in five sizes).
23. Or this gorgeous dark marble surface cover similar to the one above but in a different color in case you could use one that better fits your bathroom's aesthetic.
Promising review: "I'm very pleased with this contact paper. My countertops were stained when I bought my home. I couldn't afford new ones so I covered them in contact paper, and honestly, from across the room it looks like real marble! It has superior adhesion! Very happy!" —Barbara Weber
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four sizes).
24. A jetted bathtub cleaner so you can fill up your luxurious bath, add a quarter of the bottle, and bask in the satisfaction of gross residue clearing away. Then get ready to enjoy the best bath you've ever taken...like ever.
Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic-safe! Only takes about 15 minutes to clean!
Promising review: "Love this stuff. I was skeptical at first. I am a huge germaphobe and this worked well enough for me to actually take a bath at my new place with the jets on!" —Ann
Get it from Amazon for $17.84.
25. A mold and mildew spray because let's be real, it's not exactly the most sightly thing to see on your shower walls.
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.
26. Or a mold and mildew removal gel similar to the product above but in the form of an easy-to-control gel. Just caulk over the spots you're looking to fix up, let it sit overnight, and allow it to work its magic!
Promising review: "For a couple of months, I had been battling a mold spot on my bathroom sink caulk. I had tried various things to get rid of it but had no luck. I read about this whitener and thought I would try it and I’m glad I did. It was easy to use as the tip allows for precise application. The gel is thick so there is no need to re-apply. I applied it and then waited for a few hours. That mold spot was gone and has not re-appeared. I would highly recommend this stuff." —Wendy N
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
27. A set of peel-and-stick subway tiles for giving your bathroom an upgrade the Selling Sunset cast would approve of. The '90s called and they want their bathroom back!
Promising review: "I had a small backsplash area in my husband’s bathroom that desperately needed an update. I installed these tiles in about 30 minutes. The adhesion is great. I was able to remove and adjust one that I had placed a little wonky and it stuck well even after the adjustment. It’s only been about a week so I can’t speak to how they will do over time but so far, they’re doing and looking great." —Eugenia
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (clip the coupon on the product page to save $10; available in 13 colors).
28. A shower door cleaner because believe it or not, once upon a time, you used to actually be able to see through your glass shower door. Cool as it might seem to have frosted doors, it's actually quite dirty and we think you should give it the clean it deserves.
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 $10.98.
29. A natural tub and tile cleaner to help dissolve soap scum, hard water stains, and mineral deposits from your shower/bath floors and walls with minimal effort required on your end. Plus, it's free of synthetic fragrances and smells like eucalyptus.
Promising review: "I have an old shower/bathtub. I tried name brand shower cleaners and bleach to try and 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. I 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. It came with the sprayer separate and the bottle sealed so it wouldn't leak in the box. I highly recommend this." —Amber Erwin
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $13.97.
30. A cabinet paint kit perfect for freshening up the paint on your current bathroom vanity or giving it a whole new look altogether.
The kit comes with two cans of cabinet paint, a roller arm, two roller covers, and an angled paint brush.
Promising review: "We updated a bathroom in our home, and we used Nuvo Black. It was easy, fast, and came out better than we anticipated. Only two applications and we still have a pint and a half of of paint left. For those looking for a great way to give your bathroom a makeover — do it! You won’t regret it." —Miami Pet Concierge
Get it from Amazon for $52.27+ (available in eight colors).
