    38 Things To Help Freshen Up Your Bathroom

    Upgrade your bathroom with these must-haves.

    1. A bottle of Wet & Forget shower cleaner because no one wants to scrub their bathtub clean. With this, you'll just spray it on, wait 8–12 hours, then rinse it off. Super easy!

    after image of the same shower completely clean

    Promising review: “I have well water. Something in my well water reacts with copper plumbing and turns my shower tiles blue. Since my bathroom color scheme isn't on the blue spectrum, this is problematic. The well water also causes the shower glass to film up quickly. I've tried dozens and dozens of cleaners and scrubbed till my arms ached trying to get ahead of the blue and scumminess. My ambition in life is NOT to be a full time bathroom scrubber! I saw this stuff on a professional house cleaner's TikTok (sorry, don't remember which one) and thought 'what the heck, might as well give it a try.' Oh my goodness, the first day after my shower I sprayed this stuff all over and walked away. The next morning there was a NOTICEABLE reduction in the blue and the glass looked clearer too. Day two, sprayed again and walked away. The next morning the blue was gone except for a few spots on the floor tile and the glass looked amazing. Day three I sprayed the remaining spots and the next morning the shower practically looked new. NO SCRUBBING AT ALL!!!! This is my new favorite shower cleaner. The ONLY con I have is that it makes me sneeze while I'm spraying from inside the shower, but I can live with that.” —L. J. Petillo

    Promising review: “Best cleaning product I’ve ever used. I don’t usually go for all natural cleaning materials because, honestly, a lot of them don’t do what they say they’re going to. This one, on the other hand, definitely does the job! I tried it out on my brother's college bathtub (none of the boys had cleaned it since move in a year before). I covered the entire tub, waited five minutes, and then scrubbed with a magic sponge/rinsed. Most everything washed off immediately!!! I covered the more difficult areas once more and it was good as new!” —Anonymous

    Promising review: "Buy it just for the prisms! I can't tell you how surprised and delighted we were at the rainbow effect this film has. I bought it to make a window overlooking the street more private, and I thought I would appreciate seeing the rainbow colors on the window itself. But then when the light was shining on it at the right angle, it cast these beautiful rainbow colors on the wall. So I bought a second roll to put on one of our master bedroom windows that overlooks our neighbor's patio so I don't have to draw the curtains. In the morning now, the light comes in at just the right angle to pass through the rainbow prism and cast beautiful rainbow colors on the wall...and the bed...and the cat." —J. B.

    Promising review: "Holy cow I've been trying to get my clear glass shower doors clean using other products and to no avail they just weren't getting clean. This product is AMAZING! Worth every penny! You will not be sorry you bought this. After using this product to get the doors sparkling clean I also used the Rain-X Shower Door Repellent to keep water stains from building up again so that it doesn't have to be cleaned as often.

    Promising review: “The grout around our tub was DISGUSTING. It was never caulked right and it got gross very quickly. I would scrub. The cleaning lady would scrub. It would get worse. Well, I was scrolling through Facebook as you do and came across one of those BuzzFeed lists. I am a sucker for those lists. But this stuff made me curious. I don’t know why it doesn’t have 10,000 good reviews. Seriously. All I did was squeeze it on and walk away. I let it sit overnight. Check this out. Buy it. Like today.” —KarynB

    Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

    22. A foldable bamboo Squatty Potty pretty enough to leave out even when guests are coming. This device raises your feet up, which helps put your body in a squatting position, so you can comfortably ~doo-doo~ your business.

    Promising review: "I owned one of the plastic ones before and this was a total upgrade! LOVE the look. It's a little hard to fold but maybe I just need to work out more. Anyway, my fiancé was very skeptical but he says it’s AMAZING and now takes less time hogging the restroom." —Evelyn Flores

    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've been hand-scrubbing it was 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. It cleaned in the corners, the floor, the glass door...everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

    Promising review: "I never write reviews but this product deserves one. I have always wanted a backsplash in my outdated kitchen but didn’t feel that the tiny space warranted a lot of money if we weren’t going to update the whole kitchen. Peel and stick tile to the rescue! I bought a pack of these just to try after reading a review on BuzzFeed. I figured if it didn’t work out that I could always remove them and no harm done or tons of money wasted. The tile applied easily and looked amazing right away." —Amazon Customer

    Promising review: "Wow. For the price, I was not expecting such a beautiful handle. The brushed brass color was the perfect shade. Looks very elegant and high-end. I had purchased another handle to compare and couldn't believe how much heavier this handle was compared to a similar brand. Very easy to install, as screws were included. Do not hesitate to purchase this handle if you are looking for an elegant brushed brass handle. Would look beautiful in a kitchen, bathroom, or as a handle for a dresser." —ASCRN

    Get them from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two color combinations).

    28. An easy-to-grip power scrubber because cleaning doesn't have to be an uncomfortable activity. With three brush attachments, you'll be able to scrub *anything* clean. Grout? Clean. Stove? Clean. Rims? You guessed it, clean.

    Promising review: "Oh my gosh! You think your tub is clean and then you see what comes out with this! I followed the directions (fill tub over jets, pour in cleaner, turn on jets), and almost immediately, disgusting residue shot out. And then more came out as the formula had time to circulate. So glad I got this cleaner instead of sitting in filth, especially because we just bought a new house and I thought, 'Maybe I should try to find out if there is a special cleaner for these tubs.' Glad I did and can know my tub is cleaned out." —Aaron Johnson

    Get it from Amazon for $17.84.

    31. A sleek steel and glass shelf with space for you to hang your towels and display your lovely tchotchkes.

    Promising review: "This is a great little shelf and relatively easy to put together. Because it's glass, I would suggest taking your time while putting it together and ask someone to help. I put this up by myself, which worked, but it would have gone smoother had I had someone there to assist. Beautiful shelf and compliments my bathroom perfectly. Nice size as well. I keep my cotton buds, cotton balls, etc. on the shelf in decorative containers, which helps keep it looking very elegant. I would definitely recommend this." —Tracey Reed

    Promising review: "This is the most attractive space-saver for the bathroom. It went together well and has a good amount of storage. I love the doors and the fact that there is an open shelf also. It is sturdy and serves the purpose. It really helped the big blank wall too! I shopped these for quite a while and this was the best size, best looking, and sturdiest option I found. Well worth the price." —K. Norman

    Get it from Amazon for $115.32+ (available in two colors).

    36. A bottle of Poo-Pourri toilet spray so when you go to do your business, it stays *your* business. Just spray a few times into the bowl before you go, and leave the bathroom smelling like a spa since Poo-Pourri is actually made of essential oils!

    Promising review: "I didn't think I would like this, but it works! I was shocked. My husband has very regular BMs and that usually means that the rest of us have to avoid that part of the house for at least a little while. I got this for his birthday as a gag gift, but we tried it and it works amazingly well! The only downside is that I'm starting to associate the pleasant citrus scent with poop as well. It is not a subtle coverup, as anyone who walks by the bathroom will smell a great outpouring of citrus, but it's better than the alternative! Since then, we have also purchased other scents, which are also pleasant without being excessively overwhelming." —steel_muffins

    Get it from Amazon for $9.27.

    Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton buds and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage
