Promising review: "The shower in our rental was "clean" but had some stains in the corners that bothered me. Saw the reviews of this product on TikTok and decided to order. It took a couple of applications but the old stains are finally disappearing. Additional result, using it to spray the underneath of our shower mat which is clear and you can instantly see the black gunk appear on the sticky pads-which aren't the easiest to keep clean, usually have to pull the whole thing and then carefully clean under and around each one, destroying the magic erasure. But now I flip the mat, spray with the cleaner and the grime doesn't survive. Love it!" —Caiman
Get it from Amazon for $20.98+ (available in two scents and four sizes).
3. A foaming shower cleaner by Kaboom which sprays on blue then ~magically~ turns white once it's ready to be wiped away — no guessing on when to rinse required.
Definitely one of those cleaning products with results you'll want at the front of your cupboard.
Promising review: "My shower was starting to get a little bit moldy and I couldn't stand the smell of strong bleach in the shower, especially while pregnant. The smell of the oxyclean is not overwhelming and does not make me gag. It was very easy to spray on, leave until the blue turned clear ish, give it a light scrub and then rinse it down the drain. Very easy to spray on the walls and floor the the shower and I love seeing where the spray is." —Justyna

Get it from Amazon for $11.99 for a 2-pack.
5. A bottle of The Pink Stuff which is the definition of clingy, but in the best possible way, since the solution actually clings to surfaces to penetrate and remove most annoying bathroom troubles — including limescale.
Promising review: "I love every single Pink Stuff cleaning product I have owned. This stuff is truly amazing for cleaning the bathroom! Minimal effort! Spray and leave it for a few minutes and you’re done! It makes your shower and toilet sparkle! I can’t use bleach products because they close up my throat, but this has better cleaning power with an incredible smell." —Andrea

Promising review: "I bought this cleaner for the aesthetic — I love the pink! Once I used it I was blown away! It completely removed built-up residue on my quartz countertops. I also tried it on my bathroom drain tub and I reached out to their social media platforms on how to best handle this. I got an immediate/helpful response to let it sit for 20-30 minutes and I did as advised. Then, after some scrubbing, the water stains were GONE! Beautiful green product that works and wonderful customer service." —Patricia

8. A powerhouse duo grout cleaner and brush set for bringing your shower back to day-one newness, because you should never feel like you need to wear shower shoes in your own bathroom.
Promising review: "I don’t typically write reviews, but I feel this product is VERY worthy. My grout lines were stained with red mud before we moved into our brand new house. I tried almost every grout cleaner I could find, and, unfortunately, never had luck even lightening the stains. Grout-EEZ worked beautifully and completely cleaned the lines to make them look like new with very little work and minimal time compared to the things I’ve tried in the past. I was skeptical so I only bought one bottle and the brush, but I will definitely keep this in my house at all times now." —Bhans89
Get it from Amazon for $19.51+ (available in two sizes and with or without brush).
9. A universal cleaner using citric acid, lemongrass leaf oil, and corn-derived alcohol to get rid of pesky bacteria, while leaving behind a scent so ~intoxicating~ that some reviewers even spray it around the house.
10. An Oxo squeegee for removing any water streaks and giving your glass shower door a crystal clear finish with just a simple glide of your hand!
Promising review: "This is PERFECT! Me and my roomie use it right after the shower, and it keeps our shower pretty immaculate. All the shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair, and water spots are swiped clean from the glass shower doors to be washed away on the bottom of the shower. I hate walking into my bathroom and seeing a dirty, cloudy shower door. This does the job beautifully. The suction on this is AWESOME! I've had it for a month and it hasn't separated from the shower wall, and we use it every day. The actual blade is easy to clean, I just spray some bleach-free cleaner on a paper towel to wipe off any grime. I also like to use this squeegee to get the condensation off the mirror. I typically stay in the bathroom for 15 minutes after I shower to do my skincare routine, and I like to be able to see my reflection. This wipes that right off without leaving streaks and also leaves the mirrors immaculate." —MsDbone
Get it from Amazon for $9.99.
11. A 2-in-1 tub brush to take away the hassle of getting those hard to reach spots (especially if you're on the ~shorter~ side). It comes with an adjustable handle and triangle-shaped sponge dirt won't be able to hide from.

Promising review: "Ladies and Gentleman.....this scent right here is NOTHING to play with. I use this for my bathroom and when I tell you the smell won't quit....IT WON'T QUIT!!! This is just amazing. This scent lingers for days and is truly amazing. Aside from the smell, THIS CLEANER WORKS WONDERS! Like sparkling clean!

Promising review: "This product is absolutely AMAZING! We just moved into a new apartment that was left with some problem areas in the bathtub and on the stove. It got out ALL of the stains and scum that literally no other cleaner could even touch. I wish I could add the before and after! 10/10 would recommend!" —eostrye

This scrubber is waterproof, comes with six head attachments to meet your varying needs, and can last for up to 100 minutes on a full charge.
Promising review: "Bought this to replace another similar item I had that had little to no power. This has an awesome amount of power and works so well on my shower! I put very little pressure and the soap scum comes right off. I also like that it's a smaller hand-held device, so it's easy to hold, and I use it for my sinks too. Definitely recommend!" —A

15. Or a set of brush attachments that you can stick on your drill and go to town on your shower, tub, glass doors, and grout with minimal effort. Who knows, seeing all that grime slough away could be so satisfying that you *might* even enjoy yourself (heavy emphasis on might).

Juniperseed Mercantile is a woman-owned small Etsy shop located in Littleton, Colorado, that makes eco-friendly goods for the home, body, and babies.
Promising review: "Finally, something that gets soap scum off our tub without much work. The jar isn't very big, but you only need a little bit (like the size of a quarter) to start scrubbing. If you pair it with a crotched washcloth or scrubber, it makes it even easier. Smells awesome too!" —Lindsey Dietrich
Get it from Juniperseed Mercantile on Etsy for $15.

Promising review: "We bought a house and there were iron stains in the showers, sinks and toilets. I tried bleach and other types of cleaners at different times to try and remove the stains. Nothing worked and I was so disappointed as I usually use bleach on tough stains and it removes them with no problems.....but it failed. I saw this on amazon and was skeptical if it would work. To my surprise it worked and fast. Just a few minutes after spraying it on it melted the rust stain away." —S. Peterson
Get it from Amazon for $6.98.
19. An eco-friendly hard water stain-remover that'll tackle the stubborn stains that never seem to disappear, no matter how hard you scrub. Plus, it's biodegradable and safe enough to use on just about anything — including shower glass, tile, stainless steel, marble, brass, and porcelain!
Promising review: "I love that this product is eco friendly! I wasn't scared to use the product even though I'm pregnant. The scent kind of reminds me of toothpaste and wasn't strong. I did a quick application using an old scotch blue sponge on my bathroom shower to apply it. I left it on for about 10-15 minutes and then had my husband wash it off. He said he didn't do much scrubbing because everything just kind of came off on its own. For the corners for the shower, he used an old toothbrush to reach those difficult spots. He said those crusty areas pretty much just came off on its own with some rinsing. Amazing! I'm so glad I bought this stuff instead of some other brand I saw on Amazon which was caustic! I'd much rather wait 10 minutes for an eco friendly non toxic product to work. If you're on the fence about buying this, do it already! I wish I had discovered this sooner instead of dealing with a gross and embarrassing looking shower for so long! There were a few spots I missed or and some areas need a second application but I expected that. It took years for all that hard water to build up, I wasn't expecting it to be gone overnight. I expect the shower to look good as new after we get do a second application of this." —S. Ngov
Get it from Amazon for $18.77.
20. A tube of silicone grout whitener, because those nasty stains do not have to be a permanent part of your life.
