1. A tub of The Pink Stuff, aka an all-purpose paste you can use to scrub anything in your bathroom, from faucets and other plumbing hardware to tubs and tiles. With very minimal effort (aka scrubbing) on your part, this pink goo goes the distance, so you don't have to.
Promising review: "Moved into this house with what must be over 8 years of water scum on the shower glass- enough to make it look frosted. I had a cleaning crew come out to clean the house, and they worked for hours in the bathroom, and still couldn't get that glass clear. I thought I was just going to have to live with it.... until I remembered I bought the pink paste! I completely forgot I had it in my utility closet. I began using it, and I couldn't believe it. I'm so excited to continue on and free my bathroom of the remaining water marks! This product is a must-have" —Abigail Pafford

2. 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.
3. 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.
4. A bottle of Angry Orange Pet Odor Eliminator for when your favorite furry friend makes one or a dozen oopsies on the bathroom floor and you can't seem to get the stink out. Using orange oil, it gets rid of the lingering smell and replaces it with a lovely one with notes of citrus.
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

5. 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.
6. A set of drill brush attachments perfect for taking on the toughest stains on your bathroom's tile, glass, grout, and fiberglass. You'll save so much time and energy thanks to these attachments and can instead focus on doing what you do best: zoning out on the couch while binging the latest Netflix show.

Promising review: "These are great! I use the large one to give the bowl a cleaning. A variable speed drill (needed) makes quick and short work as well. They have other brushes for other applications that I will order as needed. Very affordable, well made and will get many uses due to durability." —Michael R.

7. A pack of sweeper slippers so you can rid your floors of dirt, hair, and grime while keeping your toes nice and warm. Prepare to be swept away by how much time you'll save.
Promising review: "I absolutely love these! I kind of bought them as a joke. I hate wearing socks, shoes, or slippers, but I also HATE dirty feet. These were the answer I was looking for! They are lightweight on my feet...hardly notice I'm wearing them, and by golly they pick up the dust and dirt that our dog leaves behind! They also wash very nicely. We always wish in Tide and these looked brand-new after being washed. I'm very pleased with my purchase!" —Tim S.

8. A toilet bowl ring remover if you haven't cleaned your toilet bowl in a reaaalllllly long time. That permanent dark ring? It's no match for this pumice stone on a stick!
9. 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.
10. A pack of five Swedish dishcloths if you want to ditch the paper towels and welcome the future of bathroom cleanup with some no-odor, biodegradable cloths. A single sheet outperforms 17 rolls of paper towels. Plus, they look like little works of art.
11. 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.
12. A nontoxic all-purpose cleaner that comes with a reuseable glass bottle and 34-ounce bag of refill. 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.
13. 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.
14. A set of Swiffer-compatible reusable microfiber mop pads that are way better for the environment (and your conscious) 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.
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.
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

15. A jet cleaner to break down and remove the dirty soap buildup and bath and body oils from the inside of your jetted bathtub, Jacuzzi, or Whirlpool.
16. 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.
17. A hairbrush-cleaning tool to get all the dead hair out of your brush, because using your fingers to pull it out can get gross and messy really fast.
18. A bottle of all-purpose cleaner that only uses five ingredients to keep the grime and gross at bay. The scent is orange and clove, which makes the whole house smell delicious. Use this on everyday messes to keep your bathroom looking and smelling divine.
19. A microfiber spin mop to make sure your mop isn't soaking wet before you use it, which will dramatically cut down on the time it takes to not only clean your floors but also let them dry, especially during cold weather. Plus, it's machine-washable, has an automatic wringer, and is designed in a shape that will reach into small spaces and corners. Truly, this mop does all the work for you — all you do is dunk into the water and push around the floor.
Promising review: "Ashamed to say, but I barely ever mop the floors. I purchased this O-Cedar Mop and Bucket based on the great reviews. I am here to add a 5-star review of my own. This mop and bucket not only cleaned my floors, but it made the entire process easy (and dare I say fun?). I did the entire first floor of my house, both tile and wood. Then wanted more fun, so I scooped up the handy handle and carried it upstairs, where I continued on to the bedrooms and bathrooms. I don't want to go on and on, but this mop picked up lots of dirt and grime and then popped easily into the washing machine. It came out great. The swirly thing makes all the difference. It wrings out all of the excess water, so it's easy to mop without using too much muscle, which I do not have. And the mop heads are short, rather than long mop heads, which only make for heavier mops. If you're on the fence, go for it, you'll agree." —LauraP320

20. A bottle of Method's nontoxic and plant-based all-purpose cleaner that'll easily tackle everyday messes. Avoid a marathon cleaning session by using this everyday cleaner to take on spills and other unpleasantness before they solidify and become more difficult to remove. This one smells like grapefruit, and I can personally confirm that the smell is absolutely divine.
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 bathing.
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.
23. 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.
24. An all-natural, chemical-free fizzing toilet tablet that's like a bath bomb for your bowl. Drop one in, let it do its fizzy thing, and then lightly scrub away any residue.
Pardo Naturals is a Black woman-owned small biz founded by Rita Pardo that creates natural body, hair, and home products.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Melanie Aman says: "For all the folks who don't enjoy cleaning the toilet — myself included — these dissolving tablets make quick work of a grimy bowl. The tablets are a little hard to dislodge from the plastic container (though that does make me feel confident that they're secure during transit and won't break; mine all arrived intact!), but once you get one out, you drop it in the toilet, and let it do its thing. It'll start fizzing — just like a bath bomb — loosening any stains and streaks in 10 minutes so they come away with a light brushing. I never let the toilet get too bad (and usually it takes awhile for me to notice any buildup since there are only two people in the apartment), so I can't vouch for them if you have really set-in hard water stains or haven't cleaned the commode in six months. But if you're looking to ditch the harsh cleansers in your toilet cleaning routine, this is a great addition to your lineup."
Get six tablets from Pardo Naturals for $10.50 (available in seven scents).
25. A set of machine washable microfiber cloths for leaving 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.
Microfiber Wholesale is a family-owned small biz that started in 1946. Since then, the brand has evolved into an e-commerce business that creates and distributes high-quality cleaning products.
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.
Get a pack of eight from Amazon for $16.98.
26. A bottle of grout cleaner if yours looks like it has seen better days. Yes, that dark gray grout might *actually* be white.
27. And a super-affordable, game-changing power scrubber for deep cleaning your bathroom — especially grout! — in a major way.
28. Aaaaaaand a grout pen if you realized your grout is beyond repair and just needs a fresh coat of paint.
