1. A mold and mildew removal gel to help make your bathroom surfaces look brand new. Mold and mildew are bound to happen, there's no need to fret!
Promising review: "I had some mold spots in my bathroom I couldn't seem to remove. I tried having it soak in bleach and bought other cleaning products. I tried many ways, but couldn't get it removed. I put this stuff on it and let it sit for a few hours and the mold completely went away! I am so happy with this product and highly recommend it." —Larry Kolk
Get it from Amazon for $13.99.
2. The Pink Stuff, a TikTok-famous cleaning product so good, you'll be tempted to part ways with every other cleaning product you own. Seriously, this amazing stuff can be used on a plethora of items and surfaces in your bathroom.
This awesome stuff can be used to clean like a bajillion and one things, but note that it shouldn't be used on plastic or acrylic surfaces, highly polished stainless steel, or hot/warm surfaces! Plus, this is vegan!
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 $5.97.
3. 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.
4. A pumice cleaning stone to scratch away at those — TBH, pretty repulsive — toilet stains without leaving horrid scratch marks in the bowl.
It's over 40% denser than similar products so it has a longer life! The handle allows you to keep your hands clean while cleaning the toilet. It removes calcium, lime, and hard-water stains using gentle abrasive action, and cleans porcelain fixtures, hard-water stains, pool tile, toilet bowls, barbecues, steel, and stone.
Promising review: "I have a 19-year-old bathroom toilet that had accumulated some nasty stains over time, and regular toilet brushes and cleaning products just would not remove them. I decided to try this pumice stone, and it worked like a charm! Given the nature and severity of the stains, it required some elbow grease. But 10 minutes later, I have a new-looking bowl, and I see no signs of scratching." —Happy Retiree
Get it from Amazon for $11.99.
5. Or, a bag of (super pretty) toilet bombs if your toilet needs a clean, but (thankfully) doesn't require a heavy-duty solution. Simply drop one into your porcelain throne, watch it fizz up, give the bowl a quick brush, and flush!
Blue Poppy Bath is a small biz based in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, that sells handmade bath and body products!
Promising review: "An easy way to clean the toilet, nontoxic, and smells great. I toss one in several times a week and just brush very quickly. Excellent product." —Jeni Massi
Get a pack of 10 from Blue Poppy Bath on Etsy for $7.60 (available in seven scents).
6. And an automatic cleaning system for once your toilet is in pristine condition. It'll make maintaining that level of cleanliness easy peazy since it cleans with every flush. No scrubbing or bleach required. Plus, each cartridge should last about three months so you won't have to worry about changing it often, either!
Promising review: "I've used this product for a couple of years now and LOVE it! 'I love cleaning toilets,' said no one ever!! This is the answer to clean toilet bowls without having to scrub. Easy to use. Wish the refills were a little less expensive, but worth not having to scrub a toilet bowl." —Acorn
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
7. A squeegee you can use to dry your shower doors, walls, mirrors, and other moist surfaces without leaving behind streaks.
Promising review: "The large suction cup that holds this squeegee in the shower works perfectly. And unlike many metal squeegees, this one is very lightweight, so it will not pull itself off the wall. The blade is strong enough to remove water from my shower doors, and wide enough to allow me to get each door in three easy swipes. For the longest time I resisted purchasing a squeegee, but realized that constantly scrubbing my shower doors to remove soap buildup is far too time-consuming. Using this squeegee does not prevent me from having to clean my shower, but it does allow me to take more time between cleans, as this little device alleviates most of the buildup that would occur. Overall, the squeegee does what it is intended to do — keep my glass shower doors looking clean and soap scum–free." —Steven M.
Get it from Amazon for $9.95.
8. A hard-water stain remover so you can clean stubborn bathroom messes and restore a multitude of your surfaces (ahem, like the shower door as seen below) to brand-new condition.
This helps eliminate hard water stains, rust, and limescale from things like shower doors, shower stalls, shower glass, windshields, windows, glass, barbecues, chrome, tile, toilets, granite, steel, fiberglass, pools, bath tubs, sinks, granite, marble, chrome, boats, autos, brass, stone, metals, porcelain, brass, aluminum, stainless steel, hard vinyl, and more!
Promising review: "When we moved into our new place the shower doors looked like they had never been cleaned before. I tried at least 10 different products and methods to remove the hard water spots but nothing even made a dent. Bio Clean, however, was like a magic eraser! I scrubbed each door for about 10 minutes and it was incredible! I’ve never written a cleaning product review before but this one is worth every penny." —Shane B
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
9. Kaboom with OxiClean, a bathroom cleaner that sprays on blue and then turns white when it's ready to be wiped. It'll make cleaning your bathroom feel less like a guessing game, and more...fun. Yes, it's possible.
Promising review: "My wife was looking for something to clean a film from her tub. She tried all the other products available, but none worked as well as this. It went on blue, and turned white after. It did a good job; you could see where you sprayed it and where you didn't. I would buy this product again." —Jerome P.
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
10. A power scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your bathroom look brand freakin' new.
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! Drill Brush is a small biz 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.
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 $17.95+ (available in several brush stiffness levels).
11. And a cordless scrubber that'll make quick work of cleaning tough gunk. This is better suited to use on grout lines, small crevices and corners, and tight spaces.
BuzzFeed editor Natalie Brown swears by it:
"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.
12. A bathroom cleaner for tackling soap scum, stains, and other bathroom messes featuring a plant-based ingredient list you'll feel good about.
It's made with purified water, coconut-derived actives, citric acid, natural rosemary oil, and natural lemon oil. It's free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, and is biodegradable. Public Goods is a small business based in New York, NY that offers low prices on high-quality sustainable products from household cleaners, to hair and body, to grocery items, and more. Annual membership is $79, but if you're interested in buying a product like the bathroom cleaner above before committing to a membership, you can sign up for a free two-week trial!
Promising review: "Love this stuff! Light and refreshing scent. Cleans great! And the simplicity of the bottle is so aesthetically pleasing on my cleaning shelf!" —Amanda M.
Get it from Public Goods for $5.25.
13. 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 didn’t expect this to be professional grade or anything, but hey, for the price, this definitely did the job. Our bathroom sink was starting to drain really slowly, so I bought this. In less than two minutes, it had fed down the drain easily and pulled up two separate disgusting chunks of hair and soap scum. I wore cleaning gloves to clean that gunk off the snake, but it wasn’t too difficult. Drain worked perfectly after. I use it maybe once a month to maintain. Good value!" —KB
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
14. Or a TubShroom that'll sit in your shower/bath drain and collect your hair 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 $12.95+ (available in five colors).
15. A high-pressure steam cleaner to target residue on hard surfaces without needing chemicals or casing dangerous fumes. It just uses good ole' water. OR if you're feeling really ~fancy~, try using distilled water.
The power cord length is 20 feet Includes accessory nozzle, extension hose, flat-scraping tool, grout brush, fabric steamer, window squeegee, angle concentrator, and detail brush. The tank can hold up to 6.6 ounces of water at a time, and the heater only takes about 30 seconds to warm up.
Promising review: "This worked like a champ cleaning the grout in the kitchen and bathrooms of the house I just purchased. It's a 40-year-old house and maybe 40-year-old stains. This steamed them out, and even got paint off the hardwood. Nice. Couldn't recommend it more, it did exactly what I needed it to." —W. Pickel
Get it from Amazon for $41.19.
16. A grout pen that will have your bathroom 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 large master 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).
17. A jetted bathtub cleaner so all you have to do is fill up your luxurious bath, add a quarter of the bottle, watch it work its magic by removing gross residue, and drain the tub to find it sparkly and clean.
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.
18. A natural glass cleaning spray for use on mirrors, shower doors, and any other glass surfaces in need of some extra TLC in your bathroom. 🎶"I can see clearly now, the fog is gone."🎶
This cleaning spray is non-toxic and free of chemicals, parabens, phthalates, and sulfates. Butter Me Up Organics is an Etsy shop based in Livermore, California that sells organic handcrafted bath, body, baby, and home products.
Promising review: "This is great! Took it straight out of the package and started cleaning my sliding door! Cleans very well! Thank you! Can't wait to try all the other products I purchased from this shop!" —Surishae Co
Get it from Butter Me Up Organics on Etsy for $16.50.
19. 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 nontoxic, 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 $12.39.
20. A rust stain remover spray that is basically fairy pixie dust in a bottle. That rust stain that's been living rent-free on your shower wall since you moved in? The one you always have to be sure to cover up with a shower curtain? Yeah, time to say goodbye to it for good.
It comes in an easy-to-use trigger spray and is ideal for cleaning bathtubs, showers, toilets, colorfast fabrics, vertical surfaces, and hard-to-reach spots. Plus, it's non-abrasive, and made with non-hydrofluoric acid based formula which is safer than other similar liquid rust stain removers.
Promising review: "Holy wizardry! Seriously it was more work to clean the mirror over the vanity than use this product. With almost no effort, this made my dark orange, iron-water shower stall white again. I definitely suggest wearing a mask or bandana and running the ventilation fan if spraying in an enclosed area. Great product!" —Jessica B
Get it from Amazon for $9.90.
21. An extendable tub and tile scrubber to help cut cleaning time in half as it makes it so much more simple to clean in hard-to-reach, high/low places in your bathroom!
BuzzFeed writer Marquaysa Battle loves hers:
"I have asthma so cleaning my bathroom can be much more of a task than it is for other folks. I get winded quickly so I love cleaning products and tools that help me get stuff done faster and easier, which is why this scrubber stick thingy is my JAM. Also, the scrubber part is replaceable so there'll be no buyer's remorse when it wears out from all the scrubbing you're about to do."
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
22. A tic-tac-toe toilet roll holder because why not keep a pile of toilet paper rolls more organized by turning them into a cool display? Your bathroom is about to become your new favorite room in the house with this thing!
Hand and Homes is based in Littleton, Colorado and sells fun home and bathroom decor.
Promising review: "Packed perfectly and arrived promptly. No issues with my order. I painted and mounted it. Holds Costco toilet paper so I’m happy!!! Let’s tic-tac toilet roll!!" —Amy Knox
