What Redditors are Saying

Best Bathroom Cleaning Tools

Electric Scrubbers and Drill Attachments

Electric scrub brushes are highly recommended for reducing cleaning time and effort. Users have reported that these tools can cut cleaning time in half, making them ideal for tackling tough grime on shower tiles and floors [1:1][5:1]. For those with a drill, scrub brush attachments can be used to achieve similar results, providing a powerful alternative to manual scrubbing [5:2].

Steam Cleaners

Steam mops and handheld steam cleaners are praised for their effectiveness in cleaning without the need for harsh chemicals. They are particularly useful for individuals sensitive to bleach or other strong cleaning agents [4:4][5:3]. Some models come with brush head attachments, which can be used for scrubbing showers and tiles.

All-Purpose Cleaners

Many users recommend using all-purpose sprays for bathroom cleaning, as they are versatile and can be used on various surfaces like sinks, tubs, and counters [2:3][2:5]. These cleaners often save space and money, and when combined with microfiber cloths, they provide an efficient cleaning solution.

Specialized Products

Certain products are favored for specific tasks, such as Lysol Lime & Rust for toilet bowls, which can transform heavily soiled toilets into sparkling clean ones [3:1]. Comet with Bleach is another popular choice for deep cleaning sinks and countertops [3:1], while Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are praised for their versatility, although not recommended for toilets [1:3].

DIY Solutions

Simple DIY solutions like a mixture of Dawn dish soap and vinegar can effectively remove water stains and soap scum from showers [5:5]. This method involves misting the shower area, leaving it for a bit, and rinsing it off, offering a low-cost alternative to commercial cleaners.

Additional Recommendations

For those dealing with extremely dirty bathrooms, heavy-duty gloves and scrub brushes are essential [3:2]. Rubber gloves are also recommended to protect hands from germs and chemical exposure [2:6]. Lastly, keeping a plunger on hand is advised, as it's a crucial tool for any bathroom [4:2].

ORIGINAL POST

I’ve been living with a roommate for a while and only recently started genuinely caring about how my bathroom and living space looks. I’m generally pretty clean, but I want it to look as clean as a week-long wait would look lol. I use a soap scrum cleaner for the inside of my bathtub and the bathroom sink, Lysol solution for the toilet, and some chlorox wipes for counters and the toilet seat, sides, etc.

I’m not sure how I feel about soap scrum for the tub or sink. I don’t have any residue from bar soaps … because I don’t use it lol. I use liquid soaps like Dove men’s liquid soap.

I’ve recently been feeling grossed out by my own living space and want to set up regular weekly cleanings of my space to welcome myself and any guests and not feel grossed out anymore.

Some problem areas I am hoping to get advice on are:

  • what solutions/products do you use inside the bathtubs and bathroom sink? I want to clean and sanitize.
  • what tools do you use to clean the bathroom in general? Do you use a wand or a scrubber or sponge to wipe and clean? I get really frustrated and grossed out by bending over and unable to get everything fast enough. How do you clean the inside of your shower floor, inner walls, edges/outsides of your bath tubs?
  • how often do you clean the plasticky shower curtains? Can I toss them into a washer on warm then dry?
  • anything else you use?

I would greatly appreciate advice. I’m genuinely trying to do better and would appreciate the support.

What are the absolute necessary cleaning supplies that one needs to clean bathroom ?

Posted by rururu_101 · in r/CleaningTips · 27 days ago

I have to buy supplies for cleaning and I am so confused. The internet suggests way too many products for every individual thing. I don’t want to buy too much unnecessary stuff.

My bathroom doesn’t have tiles or ceramic. Everything is plastic. So far I have paper towels, disinfectant wipes, microfiber cloths and those fancy bathtub brushes with a handle and different attachments.

What cleaner should I get? The bathtub is plastic textured. Can the same cleaner be used for sink?

I put a toilet bowl cleaner in and let it sit while I do the rest.

Spray multipurpose cleaner on the sink, counter, tub, and toilet exterior. Then use a microfiber cloth to wipe down those things. I do the toilet exterior last, along with the floor next to and behind the toilet.

Then I use a clean microfiber on the mirror. If it’s really dirty, I’ll use a glass cleaner. A barely damp microfiber will do if it’s not very dirty.

Then toilet brush to scrub the inside and damp microfiber mop on the floor. Or I’ll use a third microfiber and wipe the floor by hand.

We have soft water, and we use a liquid body wash, so I’m not dealing with soap scum or hard water rings in the toilet.

My list for a weekly clean is 2-3 microfibers, multipurpose cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, toilet brush.

Disinfecting wipes or spray if someone is sick.

Deeper cleans (done less often) require scrubbing brushes for nooks and crannies and more microfibers for walls, cabinets, etc. A steam cleaner is nice for the deep clean.

I guess you could do without the multipurpose cleaner and instead wipe everything down with a damp microfiber to clean off the grime, then go over it again with the wipes.

I use bar mop towels instead of microfiber clothes but this is what I do. The toilet gets it's own rag, and I use one for the sink and the tub.

But I'd add rubber gloves to your list.

I use the same cleaner on sink and bathtub, just an all purpose spray. Choose one that works for you (price, scent, environmentally friendly if that is a factor for you) - honestly, as long as you clean regularly anything will work

Illustrious_Dig9644 · 26 days ago

100% agree! I used to overthink and buy separate cleaners for every little thing, but honestly, one good all-purpose spray does the trick for both my sink and plastic tub. I just make sure it says it works on plastic and I'm good. It saves space and money. Microfiber cloths are honestly a game-changer too. As long as you keep up a regular schedule, nothing gets too gross to handle!

The number one supply for bathroom cleaning is a good dissenfectant. It is for everything including mirrors... yes mirrors, inside the toilet bowl, and everywhere else. Clean with it to get up any soils and then spray again and follow instructions on dwell time to use it to is best potential to help cut down on illness this winter. Don't spray and wipe like they do in restaurants. It has to have contact time.

Also nitrile gloves. Keeps the germs off of your hands and will keep the spray off of your skin to prevent reactions.

Dish soap, water, Windex and maybe lysol wipes do the bulk of my work. 95% of cleaning is easily done with soap/water which people forget, the wipes are mostly for the toilet area if I missed.

4 upvotes on reddit
cereal4elle · 26 days ago

Agree with dish soap in hot soapy water. If it's good enough for my dishes, it's good enough for the surfaces I don't eat off of. I might double back with targeted cleaners for buildup, or places it won't work well, like mirrors or the toilet bowl. But it's cheap, fast, and effective on most everything else.

3 upvotes on reddit
Frowny575 · 25 days ago

I do very similar as some places may need something tougher (my shower and toilet tends to get some buildup from water so soap isn't usually enough). Otherwise the only reason I keep the wipes around mostly is because I may find say soda drips on a floor and it is quicker to grab. I've very rarely used a purpose-made product besides maybe for cleaning carpet.

Even if you are concerned with bacteria, a cap of bleach in like 1gal water does the trick. This is a very common way to disinfect cutting boards quickly as it is just enough to kill whatever from raw meat but not enough to hurt you.

Apprehensive-Big6170 · 27 days ago

I personally own way too many cleaning products / tools, but tbh all I consistently use for the bathroom is:

  • Clorox toilet bowl cleaner with bleach
  • Reusable toilet brush (I run it under super hot water in the tub after each use and get a new one every so often bc they're cheap)
  • Method bathroom cleaner with disinfectant for sink / tub / shower walls
  • Sponge (I use Scrub Daddy, but literally any sponge will do)
  • Disinfecting wipes for counters
  • Microfiber cloths for wiping down mirrors (you can also buy glass cleaner, but IMO the microfiber alone is effective)
  • Vacuum / mop for floors, but that's not bathroom-specific

You can buy everything you need for a good bathroom clean for $15-$30, and most of it will last you a while. Good luck!

Lysol Lime & Rust (colloquially named Lysol Black Label) Toilet Bowl cleaner can take a toilet from absolutely cooked to sparkling in just a little while. Take a pail of water (about a gallon, so a bathroom trash can) and pour it quickly down the toilet; it should make the water level in the toilet almost non-existent. Then swirl the Black Label inside bowl from top down, let it sit about 15 min and then use an old school toilet brush to go to town.

For sinks and countertops, good ol’ $1 Comet with Bleach and a few rags that can be tossed will do so much.

I keep one of these filled with bathroom cleaner in the bathroom, and then when I've got to leave conditioner or a hair mask or something on for a few minutes, I'll do the walls and then rinse them with the shower head. I change the sponge every few wall washes.

Best thing to use for cleaning a bathroom

I thought stiff cleaning devices were the answer but lately I found using a car wash mitt, one on each hand, has me cleaning the bathrooms in record time. I spray everything down with cleaner. Put the mits on and scrub around. Then i just get a big towel or paper towels & dry everything off. For the shower & floor same thing but i use a car wash mit on an extension pole. Way faster & cleaner. They are microfiber & have the tassels.

Take some scrubbing bubbles and hose the whole thing down super super good. Then take one of those melamine sponges, one of those Mr. clean sponges and scrape the whole thing and if there’s anything left after that, some soft scrub on a sponge and scrub it down. But in good faith, knowing that the scrubbing bubbles killed anything first.

Key Considerations for Bathroom Cleaning Tools

  1. Multi-Surface Cleaners: Look for effective multi-surface cleaners that can tackle soap scum, mildew, and hard water stains. Products with bleach or vinegar can be particularly effective.

  2. Scrub Brushes: Invest in a variety of scrub brushes, including:

    • Stiff-bristled brushes for tough stains.
    • Soft-bristled brushes for delicate surfaces.
    • Toilet bowl brushes with a holder for hygiene.
  3. Microfiber Cloths: These are excellent for wiping down surfaces without scratching. They can trap dirt and bacteria effectively and are reusable.

  4. Grout Brushes: A specialized grout brush can help clean between tiles and remove stubborn stains from grout lines.

  5. Squeegee: A squeegee is essential for keeping shower doors and tiles free of water spots and soap scum. Use it after each shower for best results.

  6. Sponges and Scouring Pads: Choose non-abrasive sponges for general cleaning and scouring pads for tougher jobs, ensuring they are safe for your surfaces.

  7. Steam Cleaners: For a deeper clean, consider a handheld steam cleaner, which can sanitize surfaces without chemicals.

Recommendations:

  • For Cleaners: Consider brands like Method or Mrs. Meyer's for eco-friendly options, or Clorox for heavy-duty cleaning.
  • For Scrub Brushes: The OXO Good Grips line offers durable and ergonomic options.
  • For Microfiber Cloths: The AmazonBasics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths are affordable and effective.

Using a combination of these tools will help you maintain a clean and hygienic bathroom with minimal effort!
