If You Have A Messy Bathroom And *Really* Don't Feel Like Dealing With It, These 24 Products Will Help Make Tidying It A Tad More Bearable
1. Wet & Forget, a super simple cleaner you just spray in your shower/tub once a week. The best part? You don't have to 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 for 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).
2. A set of adhesive shower shelves to keep body wash, shampoo, and conditioner off the floors and looking organized — no drilling required. Plus, with your collection of bottles and other shower products off the floor/tub ledges, cleaning these areas will be easier than ever! No more having to remove them all before cleaning *or* trying to maneuver your way around them.
Not to mention, last time I checked, shower time is supposed to be easy and relaxing — not a workout, bending to pick up a different product every few minutes. Now, everything you need will be within easy reach.
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 $30.49+ (available in four colors and two pack options).
3. OR a shower liner with POCKETS that does just as great of a job as the shelves at keeping your products off the floor/tub ledge and can hold more than the shelves! This is also ideal for anyone with a small bathroom and extremely limited storage space because you can hang it facing outwards and use it to store things like hot tools, beauty products, and other toiletries!
Promising review:"I saw this in an online article about getting organized and decided to give it a shot. I absolutely love it. A friend laughed when I described it as 'life changing,' but it really is! I love that there is no more clutter, but another plus that never occurred to me is how much easier cleaning the tub is. Not only because it's already clear, but also because there are no little rust rings that usually come from bottles being left on the ledge of the tub. I don't know why all shower curtains aren't made this way!" — Valerie
Get it from Amazon for $20.14.
4. 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 ever.
Each bottle cleans about four times, and it's septic-safe! Only takes about 15 minutes to clean! Oh Yuk is a family-owned small biz based in Minnesota that sells home cleaning products
Promising review:"Didn't realize how much cleaning went into jetted tubs before getting one! This definitely made it easier. I like that the bottle shows where the 4 ounces are, so there's no need to measure. Just pour and go! It did take the whole bottle for my tub to get fully clean, but it was three years of buildup! I wasn't aware you had to deep clean the jets other than the outside! I never used my jets prior to the cleaning, so I was quite surprised at all the junk that came out! Made my tub look brand new afterwards." — Momof5
Get it from Amazon for $18.73.
5. An over-the-door cabinet organizer because your collection of hair-styling tools continues to grow each time Amazon runs a sale, but your storage space to hold said tools decreases with each purchase. I'm never gonna tell you to stop buying new hair products, so instead I'll recommend you buy this organizer. It's better than a tangled mess of wires on your bathroom counter — promise.
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. 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 $16.99.
6. A Baseboard Buddy boasting a 4-foot extendable pole because the last thing you want to do when you already don't feel like cleaning is bending down or climbing on step stools to get to those hard-to-reach areas around your bathroom.
The kit comes with one Baseboard Buddy and three reusable pads that can be used wet or dry.
Promising review: "This was so easy to put together. I sprayed it with my favorite counter spray and did all the baseboards and door and window frames on my first floor in under 15 minutes!! That's three bedrooms, three bathrooms, kitchen/dining room, living room, hallway, and mud room in under 15 minutes. It used to take me almost half a day and very sore knees and back. I even dusted the tops of some picture frames. Very easy to rinse off when I was done. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to cut time on cleaning and for people who can't/don't want to bend over, kneel down/get on a step stool or ladder." — Suziehomemaker
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
7. A toilet-cleaning gel kit that is so easy to use you'll want to scream about it from the rooftops. Just use the dispenser to stamp a gel disc inside the toilet bowl. The gel will literally clean your toilet each time you flush until the stamp dissolves — it should last about 12 days!
Scrubbing Bubbles
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 $4.67.
8. A set of double-sided shower rings for hanging your liner on one end and your curtain on the other. If you're someone who prefers to just chuck the liner/replace it with a new one when it starts looking grimy instead of taking the time to clean it, then these rings will allow you to do so without having to disassemble the whole thing.
You could also totally keep a ring on the side (or buy an extra set) to use to hang up bath robes!
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. An 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 14 finishes).
9. An under-the-sink expandable rack that reviewers say is easy to assemble and boasts adjustable height settings so you can work around whatever pipe situation you've got going on down there. This rack is great for my fellow "lazy cleaners" who hate tidying up the bathroom, know they have to, and don't want to waste more time than needed trying to find the cleaning products they need.
Similarly, next time you need to quickly cover up a scent with some Poo-Pourri, you won't have to spend minutes on a scavenger hunt just to settle for masking the scent with Clorox disinfecting spray.
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 $23.87 (available in three finishes).
10. And if you have a pedestal sink, this metal rack is also very easy to assemble and provides ample space to store necessities like cleaning products, odor-eliminating sprays, extra toiletries, and hygiene products amongst its two tiers.
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 $44.99+ (available in two colors).
11. A power-scrubbing cleaning kit you can attach to your drill and get to work in making your living space look brand freakin' new. The bristles won't scratch and are good to use on tubs, sinks, baseboards, fiberglass shower enclosures, shower door tracks, and porcelain. Reviewers love that this only takes a few quick minutes to get a good clean — less time scrubbing = more time catching up on The White Lotus.
Useful Products is a small business based in New York. Its founder is a former technician living with carpal tunnel syndrome 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. BTW the drill isn't included, but you can find a bunch of great ones on Amazon!
Promising review:"This is my favorite thing I've ever purchased. I'm not a review writer, but I couldn't help myself. Soooo satisfying. It cleans literal years of grime in minutes. If you're on the fence, just do it — you won't regret it!" — Davia DeFries
Get it from Amazon for $18.95 (available in several brush stiffness levels).
12. A FlexiSnake to help you reach the messes you can't see, but can feel the effects of when your shower turns into a half-bath due to a clogged all been there. Instead of having to remove the drain itself, just ~snake~ this tool down there, use the rotating handle to spin the snake and grab the hair, pull it back up, and try not to gag at the results. It may be gross, but it's a heck of a lot cheaper than calling a plumber.
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 $15.99.
13. And once you've taken care of those clogged drains, get yourself the cult-favorite TubShroom — this is gonna make maintaining a clean drain a piece of cake. This bb catches hair in the shower/bath so it doesn't go down the drain and clog it in the first place. All you have to do is clean it out every few weeks.
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 $11.99+ (available in five colors).
14. A mold and mildew removal gel that is seriously so easy to use, you'll wonder why you put off cleaning away those eyesore stains in your shower for so long!!! All you have to do is caulk this over the spots you're looking to fix up, let it sit overnight, and allow it to work its magic! Pretty sure this is concocted with fairy pixie dust.
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.
15. A rotating cosmetic organizer because, news flash: Keeping all your makeup products stashed in the corner of your bathroom counter isn't the aesthetic you think it is. It's actually not any sort of aesthetic. Give your beauty items a spot of their own in this chic piece!
Promising review:"First this is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, which is great! The spin is smooth, and cleared my counter space I needed back! Perfect for my skincare items, perfumes, cotton rounds, and cotton swabs!" — Rae Myers
Get it from Amazon for $11.89.
16. A grout cleaner loved by professional cleaners and for good reason — thanks to the include brush that can be attached to any standard broom pole, you can kiss the days of getting down on your hands and knees to scrub your dirty bathroom floor goodbye. I know it might be shocking news but the dark bit between your tiles? Yeah, it's not supposed to actually be that color. 🤢
Amazon,
Clean-Eez is a small business based in Indiana that sells cleaning products that help you take care of your tile and grout, remove stains and odors, polish wooden floors, and clean stone surfaces.
Promising review: "After trying to get my grout clean with everything I could think of and not having any success, I stumbled upon a TikTok using Grout-Eez so i thought I would try it. This stuff is legit. I'm confident a professional cleaner couldn't get my grout cleaner. There is literally no dirt left. Very little scrubbing required and little to no odor. It's amazing! The scrub brush included attached to my paint handle and I didn't even have to bend over. I cleaned it twice because my grout was really dirty, then I sealed the grout in hopes it won't get dirty again so fast. I can't wait to do the rest of my house!" — Kathy
Get two bottles and a brush from Amazon for $39.95.
17. A narrow toilet paper stand to squeeze in that lil' area between the toilet and the sink (or the toilet and the wall) that you never knew how to now. It features additional hidden storage space for extra TP rolls, as well as shelves for holding additional toiletries or even displaying your favorite candles/succulents.
Amazon
Some assembly is required, and hardware is included. This toilet paper stand is made of waterproof PVC material and comes with a toilet paper spring rod. The bottom storage cabinet can store up to three rolls of mega-roll toilet paper.
Promising review:"Just the right size. Easy to assemble. Fits two rolls at bottom, one in middle, and one at the top. Paper must be threaded bottom up for free flow or it will be difficult to pull through the slot. I put my wipes at very top. Small bathroom, small storage cabinet perfect fit. I wish it was white instead of light gray. Oh well, for the price it'll do." — Sally
Get it from Amazon for $23.48+ (available in six color and five sizes).
18. A bagless, touchless stationary vacuum because your bathroom floor put it kindly. What with hair post-styling, remnants of makeup powders, dust accumulating, etc. Lugging your bulky vacuum is not an option because it can barely even get into all those narrow little crevices in the room anyways. The area between your toilet and the wall? Not happening. With this genius invention, all you have to do is take a broom and sweep everything towards it! Simple as can be!
Promising review:" Saw it on TikTok and knew I had to have one. I hate cleaning but get annoyed with the clumps of dog hair and bits of things on my kitchen floor. I usually just vacuum my tile with the vacuum which is a pain. This thing is so easy to just sweet things into and it sucks them right up. Sure, it's more expensive than my actual vacuum, but I've only had it three days and have used it two times." — AC
Get it from Amazon for $126 (available in two colors).
19. A pack of duster sponges that pick up so much yuck in a single swipe, you won't be able to shut up about it for weeeeeks. Not to mention, they're super squishy so they might just make to clean your lavatory. An exaggeration? Maybe, maybe not. Guess you'll just have to buy these and see for yourself.
BuzzFeed editor Maitland Quitmeyer gives them a big thumbs up: "I bought a pack of these recently, and so far, love dusting with them! All the dust sticks right on, so you don't end up breathing in all the dust you just tried removing. It's great for baseboards, too!"
Promising review: "I rarely review products, but this little sponge literally changed my life! It picks up EVERYthing in one swipe! Hard water marks on your bathroom mirror, no problem! Hair clippings on your sink and counter, one swipe and they are gone! Dusty blinds? Swoosh, swoosh, swipe! And ala-presto ka-bam, like magic, they are perfect and dust-free! I just need one of these for my floors! I love, love, love how the sponge picks up everything, and with a little running water, all the dust, hair, muck, and guck just rinsed away! This will not disappoint! Thank you!" — DayDreamer
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six color combinations and in packs of four and eight).
20. A set of minimalist adhesive hooks — raise your hand if you're guilty of letting your wet towel end up: on the bathroom floor, your bed, over your desk chair, or some other spot it doesn't belong post-shower. 🙋♀️ The year is 2025 and it's time we put an end to the madness! No screwdrivers or drills are needed for these. Just slap 'em on the wall, and you've got yourself a nice new towel hook.
Promising review:"I was surprised by this product. My daughter put them in her house and told me about them. So, I bought some and was super happy how easy it is to install, it's a no-brainer, and they look really nice. Love this product and recommend it to all who don't want to drill something into the wall. I give it a thumbs up." — sue whited
Get a pack of four from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in eight colors).
21. A set of glass jars with bamboo lids that'll help you achieve the satisfying aesthetic organization goals you see on TikTok/Reels for your very own bathroom. Thanks to the included set of labels you'll have designated spots for your cotton swabs, hair ties, floss picks, and more in a matter of minutes.
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 swabs 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
Get the set of four jars from Amazon for $9.99.
22. A rust stain remover spray you can think of as 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 cover with a shower curtain? Yeah, time to say goodbye to it for good. And best of all? No need to scrub!
Promising review:"Used it on our tubs, toilets, sinks and shower. Compared it to the It Works Bathroom you can get at The Dollar Tree. It took one bottle of this stuff to achieve the same result as three bottles of the It Works. I will buy this again, hands down. I tried the powder, which was good for scrubbing and soaking the tub, but the spray was fantastic for the shower and sink. Just sprayed, walk away for a few minutes and wipe/rinse." — Carrie D.
Get it from Amazon for $7.38 (also available in multipacks).
23. A drawer organizer you absolutely need to buy if you're going to continue using that singular drawer on your bathroom vanity to hold all of your skincare products, dental supplies, and hair ties. This organizer will help keep it nice and tidy — and hopefully help you realize that your hair ties haven't just *poof* disappeared, they've just been hiding underneath your vast collection of The Ordinary serums.
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 it from Amazon for $9.99.
24. A bamboo toilet topper tray to help maximize space in every inch of your bathroom. This is perfect for holding extra rolls of toilet paper, menstrual products, room sprays, candles, or any other necessities. Organization hack that requires zero effort on your part? Heck ya!
Promising review:"This is a great tray for the back of a standard toilet! I used mine as a decorative piece, but I plan to order a second for my master bathroom to hold cotton swabs, an extra roll of toilet paper, etc. I love the way it looks!" — A. Michelle
