Promising review: "These are the perfect complement to your bathroom cleaning tools. The bristles are stiff enough to get to that tough stain, but not too stiff to wear away your grout or tear caulk. The sizes are ideal to get into those tough areas and the handles are nice and easy to hold." —L. Thomas

Promising review: "I bought this RMR spray with low expectations, even with the good reviews. I sprayed a small patch in the evening and let it sit overnight. The next morning, the grout where I had sprayed was as white as if it were brand-new. I decided to spray the entire wall and part of the roof. The next day, everything I sprayed had no visible mold. By the third night, I was pretty much spraying everything left in the shower. This stuff is amazing." —John Werner

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in three sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "I hardly leave reviews, but I had to leave one for this product. I just received this yesterday, applied it last night, and this morning, it’s like I have a brand-new bathroom. I’m embarrassed to show 'before' and 'after' photos cuz it was so nasty, no matter how hard we scrubbed the mildew wouldn’t go away. I almost cried when I saw my bathroom this morning. Don’t hesitate, buy this now, you won’t regret it." —Bianca Green

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

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 the handle and five 18-inch refills from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in two other lengths).

Promising review: "I really like this! I am 71, with arthritis, and cleaning tubs and showers was difficult. The extendable handle is very sturdy. The scrubbing pad is tough, but it did not scratch the vinyl tub or shower. We have iron in our water, and if the water softener runs low on salt, the orange color in the water accumulates. I used 401 spray cleaner and the OXO scrubber, and the orange stain is gone from the white tub! Perfect!" —Carol Miller

Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

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. 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." —Amber Erwin

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (also available in a two-pack).

Promising review: "I saw this product on TikTok and decided to try it out for myself. The name doesn’t lie — spray it on, shut the bathroom door, and in a few hours, the shower is 100 times cleaner. Usually, I’ll let it sit overnight, and by morning, the visible grime on the shower is gone, including soap scum. I’ll usually let the shower water rinse the residue out and then will take a bucket just to get everything off the shower walls. It is a bit slick if you try to get in the shower without rinsing the residue, but otherwise, it’s a worthy cleaning staple in my house." —Tara D.

Get it from Amazon for $19.98+ (available in two scents and two sizes).

Promising review: "This product works beautifully. I tried a lot of products to remove the hard water from my glass shower. I have to admit the first time I used it with a cloth, it was not very effective. The second time, I used a nonabrasive sponge for glass. It turned out beautiful, just like the first day the glass was installed." —EJP

Get it from Amazon for $11.65.

This is a mildly abrasive cleaning paste, so use with care and go slowly when testing on new surfaces. Simply apply it to the surface with a damp sponge or cloth, give it a few scrubs, and then rinse away with hot water.

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." —Nancy F.

Get it from Amazon for $5.29 (also available in a bundle with a scrub brush).

Promising review: "I decided to try this. It is amazing... I use a lot of hairspray, and the buildup on my bathroom tile and walls was gross. This product is so easy to use, and YES, all the hairspray residue is gone (I use it daily). Will buy again and again." —WJB

Get it from Amazon for $4.86 (also available in packs of two and three).

Promising review: "So, we have a toilet that belongs to the cats. We don't use it, we don't look at it, we like to pretend it does not exist. Even with semiregular flushing, cat waste is pretty nasty stuff and builds up quickly in the bowl. One of these wands cleaned it up in a single session! Before-and-after pic attached (above)." —Whitney

Get it from Amazon for $11.98.

One gel lasts for up to 12 weeks!

Promising review: "This is a nifty design. Easy to use and press on without being a mess using the one-piece design. Beautiful scent. It really does release a pleasant scent each time without being overwhelming." —outlander22

Get a pack of six from Amazon for $4.47 (available in two scents and packs of 24).

Promising review: "I wasn't impressed at first. This doesn't take the place of cleaning the bowl manually, but it does cut down on how often you need to clean your bowl. I had old stains from the previous tenants inside my bowl, but after about four weeks the stains have disappeared. Love this product!" —Dorine Buse

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $12.98.

These wipes are safe to use on most surfaces, including sealed granite, finished wood, and stainless steel.

Promising review: "They are not in a bulky container. They are in a compact package, where they can be easily stored for every day use. Love them; I can grab a cloth, good sized, and wipe down my bathroom daily. Will continue to use forever. You get 75 sheets in a pack, won't have to be ordering all the time." —Ralphie Boy

Get a three-pack of 75-count pouches from Amazon for $9.98.

Just place the showerhead in a container filled with the descaler solution and let it soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with cold water after.

Promising review: "This product removed calcification on the granite bathroom countertop and on the faucet base. I have been unsuccessfully trying to remove this for four years after buying my home ... I tried scraping gently with a scraper and multiple chemicals, including CLR. This stuff removed it in seconds." —Julie

Get it from Amazon for $13.95.

The kit comes with 10 picks in different sizes and 10 brushes.

Promising review: "I used these on my shower heads. AMAZING. It got lots of gunk and ick out of the sprayers. The nozzles work and spray so much better. I had tried all sorts of cleaners to clean the shower heads and nothing seemed to work. It was tedious to clean the heads, but it was worth it." —Feather House

Get it from Amazon for $7.89.

Promising review: "Have you ever used a squeegee, even a nice one, and been frustrated when seeing little streaks of water on the glass afterwards? I have, and I have been confused and frustrated about why that should be. Usually I can, by adjusting pressure and angle, avoid those streaks, but, still....With this squeegee, those streaks almost never happen. Why? I am not sure, except that it seems to use black rubber instead of silicone. Regardless of the reason for the difference, I'm celebrating a seemingly simple thing done well." —angelsix

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).

Read our review of the Bar Keepers Friend soft cleanser.

Promising review: "Love, love, love this product! It cleans my glass stove top beautifully. I've also used it for the bathtub and sinks in my home and it cleans them perfectly. Great price, great product!" —Linda M.

Get it from Amazon for $7.39 (available in two sizes or a pack of two).

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 to 100 single-use pads.

Promising review: "Ok, so I was never skeptical about this product, but it has really WOWed me. It works better than the traditional disposable wet and dry Swiffer pads. I think it has everything to do with the texture. I have long hair and my bathroom gets pretty hairy, just a quick sweep of my bathroom using this thing and it pretty much picked up everything. I also used it as a "mop" in my entryway, and it worked very well." —AT

Get a set of two from Amazon for $10.95.

I've been using this regularly for the last six months, and I never thought I'd be so impressed by something so seemingly boring. The foot-operated wringer is a life-saver for a lazy cleaner like me, and the microfiber mop dries quickly and stays fresh in between uses.

Promising review: "I have arthritis and can't get down on my hands and knees to clean the bathroom floor. The area around and behind the toilet was most vexing. The spin mop cleans all around the toilet easily and all through the house as well. I have never had a mop that I liked over my 55 years of marriage. But I am totally enchanted with the spin mop. The foot pedal for wringing is a breeze and works well. The mop doesn't scrub, but it does a great job of general mopping. Wonderful that the fabric head pops into the washing machine. I already ordered replacement heads to have on hand." —Phoebe

Get the spin bucket and mop with two extra refills from Amazon for $39.98 (also available in various other bundles).

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 $11.20.

Promising review: "So I have these, and to be honest, I don't use them for my window area. I actually use them for my tile grout area in the bathroom shower and tub; they are so perfect for cleaning those areas." —Anita B

Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: "Seriously one of the best purchases I have ever made. It makes cleaning the bathroom way less of a chore. The power behind this tool helps make the cleaning tasks go way faster and saves me a whole load of energy. Fast and efficient. I wish I had bought one of these over a decade ago!" —Jade Mom of 3

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in eight colors).

Psst: Batteries are included!

Here's what BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Natalie Brown had to say: "I'm obsessed! 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. And — as if easy, sparkling grout wasn't enough! — it busted through some serious soap scum buildup in my bathtub (thanks, fancy soap, and slow-draining tub) in less than a minute.

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 $19.95 (refill heads and attachments also available).

The kit comes with three different sizes of brushes so you can tackle both big and small messes.

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 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. In the corners, the floor, the glass door ... everything came out squeaky clean. I'm NEVER cleaning my shower by hand again." —Terry

Get a set of three from Amazon for $18.95 (available in six colors with various bristle textures).

Promising review: "I used it in my always-never-clean-enough, made of a hard-to-clean plastic shower and it genuinely cleaned it. I now use it in my bathrooms and kitchen. I should have bought two the first time!!" —Carly and Brandon P

Humble Suds is a small Etsy shop based in Colorado.

Get it from Humble Suds on Etsy for $15.95+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I have tried for weeks to get rid of some very tough hard-water stains on my glass shower panel. They had been there for three years while my apartment was rented and never cleaned. I have tried just about everything from toothpaste to vinegar to different types of chemical products. Then I found this product...PURE MAGIC!!! The nontoxicity of the product is definitely a plus; it doesn't smell bad and doesn't sting your lungs like some hard chemicals do. Its biodegradability is a plus! Most importantly, it works!!! After 10 minutes of work, it has removed 90% of the hard-water stains that simply would not come off in the past!!" —O.R

Get it from Amazon for $19.77.

Just fill your tub with hot water, add 4 ounces of cleaner, run the tub's jets for 15 minutes, then drain the tub and wipe away any remaining residue.

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 $18.73+ (available in two sizes and a pack of two).
