Let's work smarter, not harder.
1. A pack of slow-release toilet cleaner tablets that'll bleach-blast away stubborn gunk like rust, grime, limescale, and whatever else is lurking in your tank. One tablet will help deodorize and descale with every flush — so your toilet stays fresher, longer, with zero effort from you.
amazon.com
Each tablet can continuously clean the toilet for up to 15 days with 20 flushes a day.
Promising review: "I like this product and I have ordered it again. It is effortless to use and it cleans well. The toilet bowl remains spotless without brushing and the water remains clear. There is the smell of bleach though, which some folks may not like, no problem for me. Product is effective and is good value for the money." — G. P. C.
Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $16.99.
2. Or a pack of all-natural toilet fizzies for anyone who'd rather skip the bleach and instead go the botanical route. These are basically bath bombs for your toilet, made with essential oils like eucalyptus, lemongrass, or peppermint — so your bathroom ends up smelling more like a holistic spa and less like .... well, a bathroom.
MW Botanical is a woman-owned small business based in California making all-natural products for the home.
Promising review: "Pleasant oder, cleans the toilet well. Like it. Will order again when I run low. Highly recommended." — Andrew Stoeppler
Get it from MW Botanical on Etsy for $9 (available in seven scents).
3. A tub of The Pink Stuff — a wildly satisfying, internet-famous paste that clings to gunk like its life depends on it. Use it on tubs, tiles, faucets, and any other surface you've been side-eyeing, and watch the grim surrender with minimum effort on your part.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought The Pink Stuff to try on my tub, and I was not prepared for how good this stuff is. After one use, my tub looked brand new—I'm talking sparkling clean, no grime, no stains. I was so impressed that I went a little cleaning crazy and started using it everywhere.
✔ Works Like Magic – My sink, stove, and bathroom surfaces all look cleaner than they have in years.
✔ No Harsh Smell – Unlike other strong cleaners, this doesn't have that overpowering chemical scent.
✔ A Little Goes a Long Way – I barely used any, and it still got the job done.
💡 Final Thoughts: If you love that deep-clean satisfaction, you need this. Just be warned—you might start cleaning everything in sight!" — Stacey R.
Get it from Amazon for $5.97.
4. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your bathroom's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll feel so productive without actually doing that much, which is honestly the dream.
The white is a soft bristle, best for wheels, carpet, upholstery, glass, and leather; the yellow is a medium bristle, best for bathroom, bathtub, shower, tile, and porcelain; the green is a medium bristle, best for kitchen, stoves, cabinets, countertops, and linoleum; the blue is a medium bristle, best for boats, pools, canoe/kayaks, hot tubs, and plastics; the red is a stiff bristle, best for outdoors, siding, brick, garage, and gutter; and the black is a hard bristle, best for grills, loose paint, furnaces, ovens, and industrial use.
Drill Brush is a small business based in New York State that makes cleaning brushes that attach to drills. It was started in 2007 by a former electrician who suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and needed a way to clean without causing him harm.
Promising review:"These brushes worked flawlessly. I have a 24-year-old home that has not been remodeled yet. The master bath shower tile and fiberglass shower pan were in pretty bad shape. We tried many types of cleaners to remove residual soap and hard water stains with little success. As a last-ditch effort, I purchased these brushes. They worked amazingly well. Using Krud Kutter and these brushes removed every bit of the dirt and polished those tiles so that they shine brilliantly like they did when they were new. I am completely satisfied with my purchase of these brushes. They are well made and held up beautifully to the forces I applied while using them." — Tom S4TX
Get the set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors).
5. A Swiffer PowerMop to make scrubbing bathroom floors feel less like a punishment and more like a mildly satisfying chore. The pre-mixed cleaning solution cuts through grime, the absorbent pads trap gunk, and the power spray gives you that "I'm in a cleaning commercial" moment.
Promising review: "Great mop when you need the job done fast. Liquid refills are easy to pop in, and you can slap on replacement mop pads in a hurry (you'll know when they need to be replaced). This mop is ideal when you get one of those 'I'll see you in 10 minutes' phone calls. Just press the release button on the handle, and a spray will shoot out at the center of the path. Tip: I run the mop head under warm water first and squeeze it out before I start, as a damp mop works better. The floor is clean in no time and I like that I don't need to store a separate bottle of cleaner. My mom loves that it's lightweight, so she can carry it upstairs and mop the hall floors and bathroom tiles. Gladly recommend. — A. Mitchell
Get it from Amazon for $29.94.
6. Or a flat mop that basically cleans itself, so you don't have to touch the grimy mop head (bless). The compact design makes it great for tight spaces, and the reusable microfiber pads mean you can keep your floors and walls sparkling without hauling out a giant mop setup every time.
Amazon, www.amazon.com
Promising review: "This mop is freaking awesome! My bathroom was being renovated so I bought this to wash the walls when it was done. Works awesome! I've used it on the floor as well. I love that you can wash the microfiber cloth. I would definitely recommend this product!!!" — Layla
Get it from Amazon for $31.57+ (available in two sizes and many pad options).
7. A Wet & Forget shower cleaner that's truly a miracle product. Once a week (or whenever you think your shower is gross), liberally spray it all over and then go fall asleep for the night. In the morning, spray water over the areas and watch all the grime instantly wash away.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I was a bit skeptical about a simple wet it and forget it cleaner but no more. When I used this the first time, I did have to do a bit of scrubbing since we did have some soap buildup on the shower walls. I was glad to see that I had to do just a light scrubbing since this product worked well in working on the soap buildup. It's just a simple, spray it on, let it work and then rinse it off. The trigger spray is easy to use and has two different spray settings, one more centralized and the other a wider spray. The scent is not overpowering, and it does what it says. So easy to use and my boys have no problem in rinsing it down for me before they shower. Glad to add this to our cleaning products." — Susan E.
Get it from Amazon for $19.39+ (available in two scents).
8. A TubShroom for collecting the mass of hair that would normally clog your drain. When the water in your shower/tub starts to drain slower than usual, pop this product out, clean out the hair it's collected, and insert it back into the drain.
This thing collects all the icky loose hair neatly around it (at the bottom, so you can't see it when the TubShroom is in place), so all you have to do is wipe it off! It's super simple, yet so genius that some folks are about ready to make it their religion — read for yourself:
Promising review:"The TubShroom is a life changer. To market this simply as a revolutionary bathtub strainer is to degrade the perfection of the TubShroom. People often describe their life split into ages, from childhood to college, from marriage to the birth of their children, career growth to retirement. I see my life divided into two distinct periods centered on one singular event: the gloomy, pestilent dark ages before TubShroom, and all the glorious, magnificent days thereafter. No amount of glowing, favorable adjectives will ever do justice to the magnificence of the TubShroom. These are but feeble, limiting words, which by their very nature, cannot capture the richness, splendor, and transcendent power that is the TubShroom. The TubShroom is embodied enlightenment disguised as a humble implement to avoid bathtub clogs." — Zerubba U Levi
Get it from Amazon for $12.95+ (available in six colors). If you don't have a sunken-in drain that can fit the Tubshroom, Oxo makes a good universal drain protector you can get from Amazon for $11.99.
9. A natural, plant-based cleaner which uses the power of eucalyptus and tea tree oils to rid your bathroom of general nastiness like soap scum buildup and everyday grime. Just spray it, let it do its thing for 5–10 minutes, and then voila! Your bathroom will be sparkling clean.
amazon.com
Promising review:"This stuff is amazing!! I was skeptical at first because I had these dark stains on my shower floor that I'd never been able to get out, and I thought something 'natural' wouldn't be heavy enough for it. I cleaned half the shower at first because I wanted to see how it looked compared to the dirty side, and it did an amazing job with a little bit of elbow grease! You can see the difference." — Katherine Cheng
Get two bottles from Amazon for $15.99.
10. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your consciense) than the single-use ones. Plus, they work wet or dry. When they need to be cleaned, throw them in the washing machine and they'll be good as new.
www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com
They can be used wet or dry and on basically every type of flooring and even drywall if you're so inclined. Since they can be thrown in the wash, one microfiber pad can replace up 100 single-use pads.
Turbo Micro is a small business that makes microfiber cleaning tools.
Promising review: "Just used these for the first time with my Swiffer WetJet and I gotta say I am impressed! Went on easily and cleaned the floors easily! I always hated the one-time use pads and never felt like they got my floor clean. This review is NOT sponsored, I bought these with my own money because I'm sick of single-use products. Seriously, buy these now!!!" — AKGross
Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.25.
11. A sink plunger to easily unblock all the grossness that's been building up in your drain for who knows how long. If you live in a home where the water drains reeeeaaaallllllly slow, this product can probably dislodge all the blockage in just a few pumps.
amazon.com
Promising review: "I needed for my bathroom sink. I doubted it would work as easy and fast as advertised but it did. I thought I'd really have to work it for it to work. Super impressed. Took like a minute, if that. Piece of advice though, if your sink has that overflow drain, put a sponge or something over it. Water and gunk will plunge out of the hole and if you aren't expecting it will have a mess." — A
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in small and large sizes).
12. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your adorable little menace mistakes the bathroom floor for their personal potty pad. Powered by real orange oil, it wipes out stubborn smells and replaces them with a bright, citrusy scent that makes it seem like nothing ever happened.
www.amazon.com
Angry Orange is a small biz that was founded in 2014. They provide pet-related household cleaning supplies like stain removers, mops, and more.
Promising review:"This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a Bichon pup, and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and used to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world, we still can't come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!' This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell, but now, after use, we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." — clayton s tonkin
Get it from Amazon for $17.96+ (available in two sizes).
13. An under-cabinet drawer with a shelf on top that'll finally bring order to the chaos under your sink. Instead of playing hide-and-seek with your sprays, scrubs, and sponges, you can just slide this bb out and grab what you need.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"These are nice pieces that helped me organize underneath my bathroom sink! They fit perfectly! After organizing everything, I was so surprised I had so much more room that I grabbed more items out of the linen closet to fill it up. I still have a lot of room left. I bought these based on the high ratings, and they hold true. (This is Brad's wife.)" — Brad J. Leahy
Get it on Amazon for $25.87+ (also available in bronze).
14. An automatic bleach toilet cleaning system, because cleaning your toilet bowl is never fun. Once installed (reviewers say it's a breeze), the bleach automatically dispenses, cleans, and deodorizes with every flush.
It's super quick to install, and one cartridge can last up to three months!
Promising review:"I originally got these because my college roommate never cleaned the bathroom, and I was hoping to find something that would help me not have to clean the toilet as often. Let me tell you, this works so much better than I hoped. These keep the toilet COMPLETELY CLEAN for three months! When I moved out of the apartment, I took this with me and hooked it up to the toilet back home. When I move out, I will certainly be taking it with me again. Can't recommend this enough." — Dave M.
Get it from Amazon for $10.77.
15. A microfiber blinds duster with spaced-out fingers to tackle several blinds in one swipe. Never again will you need to clear your schedule when you just want to clean your bathroom's window treatments.
Promising review:"I love this product!! It works fantastic! I am a housekeeper for several private homes. My least favorite job is cleaning window blinds! I have used every method there, but the job is still very time-consuming. The main reason it takes so long is you must clean each and every slat separately to do the job right. Not anymore! With this product, you can clean two slats at once, and it cleans them the first swipe! The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS, this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal 'mini' blinds. Additionally, the microfiber 'sleeve' that fits on the tool is washable, and it comes with five of them, so it's a real value, being reusable and with so many to use it should last a long time before they all completely wear out! This product deserves 10 stars!" — Sandy D
Get the brush and five microfiber sleeves from Amazon for $6.99 (available in blue or green).
16. A toilet bowl ring remover for when your toilet has seen some things and you're not sure if that dark ring is dirt, despair, or both. This pumice stone-on-a-stick scrubs away years of buildup without damaging porcelain — basically the cleaning equivalent of a fresh start.
amazon.com
Promising review:"We bought a house that had been empty for about 15 months, and the primary bathroom toilet had a very bad water ring. I had tried about four different things to get it off of the bowl, and nothing worked. I was recently searching the internet for some new ideas, and the pumice stone came up. I used it today, and it worked great. The water ring is finally gone. It did not scratch the porcelain at all." — momof2
Get it from Amazon for $9.26+ (also available in packs of two and four).
17. And a wall-mounted toilet brush with silicone bristles to clean your toilet way more efficiently once the dreaded ring is gone. It's also rust-proof, which means it won't inevitably turn orange like traditional brushes do.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "I purchased this item because of a TikTok review, and I absolutely love it! You can toss your old brushes that get nasty-looking and stop wasting money on disposable brushes. This brush does it all! It is well-made and very easy to clean. It hangs nicely, out of the way, on the side of the tank. I highly recommend this item!" — L. Crocitto
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five colors).
18. A nontoxic all-purpose cleaner that comes with a reuseable glass bottle and 34-ounce refill bag. This is especially a good get if you have a bathroom that has no windows or lacks proper ventilation, as plant-based products like this one don't off-gas smelly chemicals like more traditional cleaners do. Also, I can confirm that it smells AMAAAAZING and would even say it doubles as a room spray.
Common Good is a woman-owned small business based in Brooklyn making all-natural, refillable household products, that are gentle on skin and kind to the planet.
I am constantly trying out new all-purpose cleaners — they're what I grab throughout the day for everyday messes that I quickly want to wipe up. Because of this, I aim to use all-natural cleaners that smell nice. This cleaner is great, and because it uses no harsh chemicals I'm even comfortable having my two-year-old use it when it's time to help me clean up after dinner. While the eco-friendly properties and smell are definitely reasons why I love it, it's also a phenomenal cleaner. From rice that seems glued to the dining table to faucets in the bathroom that are covered in water spots, everything gets dislodged easily and wipes right off. A true miracle product!
Promising review: "Not only does this product do a great job of cleaning (better than any other product I have tried), it smells great as well. Looking forward to trying more products from Common Good!" — Richard F.
Get the refill pouch and glass bottle set from Common Good for $32.25 (available in three scents).
19. A pack of Magic Erasers to arm yourself with before tackling the tough job of cleaning any stained surface in your bathroom. This all-in-one product is a game changer and dissolves as it works, so the cleanup from the cleanup is minimal at best.
amazon.com
These melamine eraser sponges are super tough on stains, but won't damage the surface underneath the stain.
Promising review:"Learned about these online on cleaning blogs and tried them out — amazing! They make cleaning spots that don't improve or need seemingly hours of scrubbing clean instantly! I feel lazy using them. Some spots can't be cleaned with them, but those are rare and just too stubborn for anything and need some kind of special help." — Kindle Customer
Get a 10-pack from Amazon for $12.77.
20. A bottle of scum and grime remover that's specifically designed to take on the nastiness of gunk in your bathroom. No scrubbing required, just spray and wipe away.
amazon.com
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Mallory McInnis swears by this stuff! Here's what she has to say about it: "Have you ever seen the movie The Santa Clause? There's a scene where Tim Allen's character shaves away his white beard and then ~WHOOSH!~ it reappears instantaneously. That's basically my bathtub and soap scum. I've tried many products to keep it at bay, but this is the only one that has ever really worked. Not only does it have a cute dog on the packaging, it also allows me to (easily!) wipe away dastardly soap scum without having to use a lot of muscle! Which is great, because I don't exactly have a lot of muscle to use."
Get it from Amazon $21.98+ (available with or without the sprayer).
21. A squeegee to mount directly to your shower's tile or glass. Avoid spending an afternoon scrubbing away at water stains on your shower's surfaces by quickly using this to remove access water whenever you're done showering.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: "Great, amazing product. Saw this on TikTok and I had to get it because it was so viral. And I'm so glad that I did, best purchase for my shower." — Brittany Zepeda
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four metal finishes and three sizes).
22. However, a bottle of hard-water stain remover if your bathroom's surfaces are already coated in water spots. This all-natural cleaner will have all those surfaces spotless in no time at all.
amazon.com
Bring It On! is a small business that sells cleaning supplies.
Promising review:"Best scrub ever. Purchased this product after buying a house with heavy hard water buildup. This stuff took care of everything and cleaned the glass shower door like a champ! Some of the build up was bad so it took a few applications but it's now gone gone gone! Very easy to use and has a pleasant citrus smell." — LMG
Get it from Amazon for $19.
23. A jet cleaner that'll flush out all the gunk lurking in your jetted tub's pipes — I'm talking soap scum, body oils, and whatever else has been marinating in there since who-knows-when. The before and after is *deeply* satisfying ... once you get over the horror of what comes out.
amazon.com
24. A bottle of grout cleaner to deliver the kind of transformation usually reserved for makeover shows. If your grout's gone from white to "what even is that," this miracle in a bottle will lift the yuck and leave you wondering why you didn't do this years ago.
amazon.com
Clean-Eez is a small business that makes cleaning products for the home.
Promising review:"I used this on my bathroom grout which, is off-white, or should i say should be off white. With kids and pets, the grout was no longer its natural color. I used this stuff the other day and it's like it was just grouted. I've been telling everyone that wants to hear how well it worked. When I get time I'm going to do my kitchen floor." — Danielle Cooper
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.
25. And a super-affordable, game-changing power scrubber for deep cleaning your bathroom — especially grout! — in a major way.
Tap to play GIF
BuzzFeed shopping editor Natalie Brown put this baby to the test, and here's what she had to say: "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. I literally sat on the floor, dipped the bristles in a Castile soap dilution (2–3 drops of soap + 1/2 cup of water; but you could use almost any cleaner of your choice), then lazily ran the scrubber back and forth over a 6-inch section of grimy, dark-gray grout — and it only took about 30 seconds for that grout to go from dingy to bright. I started by using the specialty grout brush, but then I decided to try it with the default brush and that seemed to work just as well, IMHO!" Check out her full power scrubber review.
Get it from Amazon for $17.38.
26. Aaaaaaand a grout pen if you realized your grout is beyond repair and just needs a fresh coat of paint.
amazon.com
Just a note, this does take some elbow grease and time to actually do (one of my colleagues did it to her bathroom and it took her a few hours) but in comparison to actually regrouting your whole floor — this is a total time-saver.
See the grout pen in action from BuzzFeed's Deputy Editorial Director Elizabeth Lilly.
Promising review:"I used a white color over dark brown grout. It needed two coats but looks very nice. No one had been able to tell it was painted. It's been almost a year and it looks the same as day one. Adhesion is great, nothing is sticking to it. It's easy to apply, but you have to take your time. I recommend it." — Barbara
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available with a narrow or wide tip).
27. A set of machine-washable microfiber cloths that'll leave glass and mirrors streak- and lint-free after you clean them. The pack comes with green and blue cloths, and to use them you get the green cloth damp and then clean whatever surface you need to, then use the blue cloth to wipe away whatever residue is left over — no need for cleaners, this method successfully cleans your surfaces with just water.

Promising review: "We have a huge bathroom mirror that is very difficult to clean. I've used everything from a number of cleaners (various foam and sprays), vinegar, microfiber cloths, newspaper, paper towel, etc and nothing would get it completely streak free until now! Best purchase ever." — Sandy O.
