The Best Tools and Gadgets to Keep Your Bathroom Clean
Cleaning the bathroom is one of those things that you will always have to do. It’s a very Sisyphean affair, but the methods you use to do it don’t have to be ancient. Modern technology has created some cool cleaning gadgets that will quickly fill your bathroom with a sparkling shine – and with less effort on your part.
Bathroom floor cleaning tools
Cleaning the bathroom floor is a hassle because you have to scrub and scrub it in a small space. Let these devices help you.
-
Replace your robot vacuum with a vacuum and mop combo that can help you keep your tile or vinyl floors nice and clean. The Eureka E10s ($599.99) is a more expensive option that empties itself. The Tikom G8000 ($159.99) is more affordable and cleans in straight rows rather than the zigzag pattern that other LiDAR-powered models use, which is ideal for small spaces.
-
A silicone brush like this one from Nodirz ($11.99) is very useful around the house, but especially in the bathroom, where it pulls dirt and debris out from under cabinets and between tiles more effectively than a standard bristle brush.
Gadgets and tools for cleaning everything else in the bathroom
From grout to water stains, there are all kinds of dirty things in the bathroom that need to be addressed. These tools can do it for you.
-
The Holikme 20-Piece Drill Bit Set ($17.95) eliminates manual labor from cleaning by allowing you to easily insert different types of brushes directly into your drill. The package includes buffers, brushes, cleaning and polishing pads and an extension rod to help you clean quickly and easily.
-
If you don’t have a drill, try the Voweek Electric Scrubber ($39.99), one of those viral cleaning machines you see all over social media . It has a retractable handle and four types of brushes, so you can clean tight corners, high ceilings, or even behind the toilet.
-
For smaller areas, you’ll need a smaller electric brush, like the Rubbermaid Reveal Electric Scrubber ($22.44), which is large enough to get behind faucets, in gaps between tiles, and anywhere one of those big guys won’t fit.
-
The FlexiSnake Drain Weasel ($19.95) is a major upgrade from the cheap drain snake you might have on hand right now. It has a handle that allows it to rotate 360 degrees inside the pipe, is 18 inches long, and 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 clean tiny spaces, like between tiles, much easier and more convenient than an old toothbrush.
-
For glass shower doors or mirrors, consider Sharper Image’s Cordless Window Vacuum ($80), which you fill with water, stick to the glass, and lets do all the work for you. After spraying the glass, it even removes the water and then sorts it into a separate tank so that clean and dirty water never mix.
-
Yes, the Rinseroo Shower Hose Head ($26.95) is great for washing dogs and babies, but it’s also great for cleaning the shower itself. It turns the shower head into a six-foot hose so you can rinse your entire sink with ease.
-
To keep your toilet clean between visits, try the Coway Bidetmega 400R ($370.43). It’s a two-for-one offer: a bidet that also keeps the inside of the toilet clean and hygienic when not in use.
