Affordable products that make cleaning your bathroom less of a chore

The bathroom is one of those places where daily use means lots of grime builds up quickly — a cloudy shower door, a toothpaste-speckled mirror, a toilet with a gross-looking ring in it. And keeping the room looking clean involves so much kneeling, reaching and scrubbing that nobody enjoys. That's why you need the right products to make the job easier.

Our favorite affordable bathroom cleaning products

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Shower & Tub Scrubber

Reach things like soap scum more easily with this starter kit, which comes with a handled scrubber and two lemon-scented foaming Magic Erasers. The head rotates 360 degrees and has a built-in squeegee to dry glass, and a hole in the handle to hang it up between uses. More than 60,000 have been purchased in the last month alone.

Clorox Clean-Up Bleach Cleaner Spray Value Pack

How does anyone clean without this? If you have stubborn stains, spraying this and letting it set for a few minutes before you scrub works like a charm. If you don’t mind the scent of bleach and cleaning with a little extra care (this will stain any fabrics that touch it), this is a powerful cleaner that makes bathroom maintenance much easier.

Stardrops - The Pink Stuff - Miracle Cleaning Ultimate Bundle 

Instead of buying four separate cleaners, this bundle comes with pink cleaning paste, multipurpose spray, bathroom foam and cream cleaner. Together, they target dirt, grease and grime across ceramic, glass, stainless steel and porcelain, which covers sinks, showers, walls and countertops.

Bomves Electric Spin Scrubber

A cordless spin scrubber means you can clean grout lines and get into tub corners with less elbow grease. This one, which has sold more that 10,000 times in the last month, has two speeds (300 and 500 rpm), plus seven interchangeable heads for cleaning floors, narrow grooves and curved fixtures. The battery lasts for up to 90 minutes per charge.

Swiffer Power Mop

This spray mop kit includes the Swiffer PowerMop, two pads, fresh-scent solution and two batteries. Each pad has more than 300 scrubbing strips for grooves and grout. It makes it faster and easier to clean finished floors (but don't use it on unsealed tile or unfinished, waxed or oiled wood).

Wet & Forget Shower Cleaner Spray

For stubborn shower buildup that doesn't need immediate attention, spray on this formula, leave it for eight to 12 hours and rinse the next day. Use it weekly to eliminate soap scum and grime on fiberglass, acrylic, tile and glass.

method Daily Shower Cleaner Spray 

This four-pack of shower cleaning sprays provides preventative maintenance — mist the eucalyptus mint-scented formula over showers, tile, tubs, glass and fixtures after use and it dissolves and helps prevent soap scum (without even needing to be rinsed off). The cruelty-free cleaner comes in bottles made from 100% recycled plastic.

Clorox Toilet Bowl Cleaner Clinging Bleach Gel

This cleaning gel, which has sold 100,000 times in the last month, comes in a bottle with an angled nozzle that directs it below the rim of the toilet, where it clings 50% longer to destroy stains, deodorize and brighten the bowl — the bleach-based formula kills 99.9% of germs when used according to label directions.

Dancemoon JustHang Shower Squeegee with Built-in Hook 27% OFF

Using a squeegee after using your shower helps remove water before spots and soap residue can settle onto the glass. This 10-inch tool uses a one-piece soft-touch silicone body and has an integrated hook, so it hangs directly from the shower door or rail without needing a separate suction cup or hardware.

Clorox ToiletWand Toilet Bowl Cleaner 8% OF

Anyone who dislikes storing a damp toilet brush in the bathroom will love this disposable system, which includes a wand, storage caddy and 16 pre-loaded heads (and has sold 40,000 times in the last month alone). Their hexagonal shape reaches beneath the rim and around the drain. When you're done cleaning, press the release button to drop each used head into the trash.
