Make an unpleasant task a little easier.
Cleaning the bathroom is one of those things you’ll always have to do. It’s very Sisyphean, but the methods you use to do it don’t have to be ancient. Modern technology has produced some cool cleaning gadgets that will get your bathroom sparkling fast—and with less work from you.
Tools for cleaning the bathroom floor
Cleaning the bathroom floor is a pain because you have to scrunch down and scrub in a tiny little space. Let these devices help you out.
- Swap your robot vacuum for a vacuum/mop combo that can help you keep your tile or vinyl floor nice and clean. The Eureka E10s ($599.99) is a pricier option that self-empties. The Tikom G8000 ($159.99) is more affordable and cleans in straight rows instead of the zig-zag pattern that other LiDAR-powered models use, which is just right for a small space.
- A silicone sweeper, like this one from Nodirz ($11.99) is super useful around the house, but especially in the bathroom, where it pulls dirt and debris from under cabinets and in between tiles more efficiently than standard bristles.
Gadgets and tools for cleaning everything else in the bathroom
From grout to water stains, the bathroom has all kinds of dirty things that need to be addressed. These tools can do that for you.
- The Holikme 20-pack of drill brush attachments ($17.95) takes the manual labor out of scrubbing by making it easy to stick different kinds of brushes right into your power drill. You get buffers, brushes, scouring pads, polishing pads, and an extension rod, so you can scrub quickly and easily.
- If you don’t have a drill, try the Voweek electric spin scrubber ($39.99), which is one of those viral cleaning machines you see all over social media. It has an extendable handle and four kinds of brushes so you can scrub tight corners, high ceilings, or even behind the toilet.
- For smaller areas, you need a smaller electric brush, like the Rubbermaid Reveal power scrubber ($22.44), which is little enough to get behind faucets, into the gaps between tiles, and anywhere else one of those big guys won’t fit.
- The FlexiSnake Drain Weasel ($19.95) is a major upgrade over the cheap drain snake you might have on hand now. It has a handle that allows it to rotate 360 degrees inside your pipe and measures 18 inches in length, plus it comes with five attachments.
- A gap-cleaning brush, like this one from Rienar ($5.97), has an ergonomic handle and long bristles, so you can scrub tiny spaces, like those between your tiles, much easier and more comfortably than with an old toothbrush.
- For your glass shower doors or mirrors, consider the cordless window vacuum from Sharper Image ($80), which you fill with water, stick to the glass, and let do the work for you. After spraying your glass, it even removes the water, then sorts it into a separate reservoir so the clean and dirty water never mix.
- The Rinseroo shower hose attachment ($26.95) is great for washing dogs and babies, yes, but also for washing the shower itself. It turns your showerhead into a six-foot hose so you can easily rinse around the whole basin.
- To keep your toilet clean in between uses, try the Coway Bidetmega 400R ($370.43). It’s a two-for-one deal: a bidet that also works to keep the inner parts of the toilet clean and hygienic when not in use.
