Promising review: "Wow. Game-changer. I have to change my shower curtain liner a lot because of a humid bathroom (yes, even with a fan on 😬). Though there are greater issues in the world, why wouldn’t you want to save yourself some time with these hooks? Not having to take the curtain off each time I change the liner has really been more satisfying than I had anticipated. An added bonus is the rings themselves; the balls that were added hug the shower curtain rod so they never pop off. Something I never knew I needed either. Love these!" —Jdbouchart

Promising review: "My bathroom cabinets had a lot of wear from the steam from showers and baths. I want to replace them, but I decided I would try this first. It’s very easy to apply: Wait 20 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Filled in the places where the varnish was gone and showing raw wood and brightened up the finish. Looks much, much better for an easy and cheap fix. Very pleased with this product." —Dog Lovers

Promising review: "We cannot BEGIN to tell you what a lifesaver this is! We have two old fiberglass tubs with vinyl shower enclosures that, no matter what amount of scrubbing we have done with everything from bleach to cleanser to vinegar and baking soda, would NOT come clean. After I took my shower last night, I sprayed down the tub and walls. Within minutes, all the built-up water deposits, dirt, and grime began to melt away in front of my eyes. I left it on overnight, and when I got up this morning, it did not look like the same tub and shower. This product is a godsend, especially for old folks like us who have difficulty getting down on our hands and knees and scrubbing anything. More importantly, it performs as advertised. We plan on using it as part of our weekly cleanup routine. This is truly an overnight sensation!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This stuff is amazing. I live in an older apartment complex, and even though I scrub and clean my bathtub every week, the caulk around the edge still manages to grow mold and turn brown/ black. I scrubbed with many different products and it didn't seem to make a difference. I found this product, and the transformation is huge. First, it's easy to apply because of the squeeze top. I was able to just really focus on the caulk. Then, because it's a gel, it stayed put and didn't ooze everywhere. It really surprised me on those vertical sides. In the first picture, I already scrubbed my tub and even used some sturdy brushes attached to my power drill. The second half of the picture is after five hours of letting this mold remover soak and just wiping it off." —Rochelle

Promising review: "These are actually cuter than I expected! They are a tad smaller than some I've seen, but they actually looked great and can hold plenty of cotton swabs and cotton balls in the spare bathrooms. I have mine on a serving tray with a candle and vase, and they look great without taking up too much space!" —tara savage

Promising review: "Wow! This is exactly what I was looking for! I have a tiny bathroom in an old apartment building with an untreated window that needs to be covered with a shower curtain inside my shower. Every time you'd shower, you would be attacked by curtains from both sides. That is until I purchased this curtain. It gives so much more room in the shower, like a curved shower rod, but without all that hardware and work associated with it. It's weighted enough so it doesn't move. I'm not longer attacked by my shower curtains. I 100% would purchase again" —Brittany Hopkins

Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in five colors).

Promising review: "The item is neither too big nor too small for my pedestal sink area, which is tiny, and the bathroom itself has no room for any type of standing table for brushes, makeup, etc. I use small plastic cups to hold a variety of hair clips and have jars of skincare cream, and I find this curved open shelving to be convenient for that. For me, the assembly was not hard or very time-consuming. It's nicely lightweight to lift, and I have rust-proofing spray to spray on it to protect the metal from the effects of water moisture." —Carolyn

Promising review: "I saw these shelves on TikTok and really wanted to try them out, as I have no shelves in my shower. The adhesion is impressive — they’ve stayed sticking for the past two weeks with no sign of letting up and are holding about four bottles of products on each of the two racks I have hanging. I thought for sure they would fall after showering or something, but they have stayed strong and held up. I’m so impressed! I’m sure I will purchase more in the future. Super duper easy to install, they look beautiful and modern and give my bathroom a totally different vibe. It’s so nice to have a product like this available!! Thank you!" —Sara B

Promising review: "I bought this because of all the hype on TikTok, and I wasn’t expecting much, to be honest. I have these glass shower doors that have been water marked for a while, I usually use a Magic Eraser, but that doesn’t take them away very well. But after putting this on a microfiber towel, and simply rubbing it in, it is as clear as it was the day we bought them, I cannot believe this! I can’t wait to clean other things! I would recommend gloves, because I didn’t use gloves, and I can feel my finger is a little scratched up from the little particles that has in it." —Jennifer

Promising review: "I used this product five years ago in the bathroom floor of a house we bought. It had beautiful beige tile and hideous orange grout. After cleaning the grout with a paste of OxiClean, I applied the pen. It covered completely and I have beige grout. It has lasted without reapplying for five years. The floor is washed every week. We recently bought a vacation condo with beige tile and orange grout in the shower. I used the white pen and the shower looks brand new. Now I ordered more for the floor." —Pamela Brucker

Promising review: "One of my pet peeves is having to touch the toilet seat. I sanitize my home daily, if not hourly, and the handle makes cleaning the toilet so much more tolerable. The handle doesn’t get splatter on it. Super easy to install, and the adhesive sticks perfectly. It comes with extra adhesions if needed. I wipe down everything with wipes or bleach and paper towel, and I’m done." —Allie Fast

Promising review: "This is the perfect storage solution for our tiny NYC bathroom and so much better than a showerhead hook caddy. It's great that the pockets are mesh so as not to hold water/get gross." —Emily Tozer

Frolic Creations is an Orlando-based small business.

Promising review: "To the seller and creator of this item, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I may sound silly when I say this, but it’s the truth: froggy soap has boosted my serotonin SO MUCH. Ever since I bought my froggy soap, I can definitely see a change in my mood. Not only has it been a serotonin booster for me, but it has also been a bonding experience. Everyone in my family knows about the beloved frog, and we plan on getting the set of 12 miniature ones so we can all have our own little froggies!!" —Maddison Liddick

Sink Topper is a small business that specializes in household-friendly organizing mats.

Promising review: "I was introduced to this item through TikTok, and they weren’t joking when they placed certain videos on your 'for you page' because they knew that I NEEDED THIS. It is super helpful for small sinks, and I love the material. It doesn’t slide around, it’s wide enough for all my (at the moment) bathroom needs, and I can easily fold it up and take it anywhere with me." —Allie West

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven colors and two sizes).

Promising review: "I have a high-stress job, and I've started taking baths as a way to unwind. However, it never seemed like I could keep enough water in the tub to really enjoy it. This little thing makes a HUGE difference!! I get at least an extra three inches of water, and it is great." —Hyacinthe Snyder

Get it from Amazon for $7.99 (available in nine colors).

Promising review: "The brush works like any other toilet brush, but we love that it is hidden. You have to look very hard to see it, but it is easily accessible if you need it. It was also easy to assemble — just click two parts together and hang off the toilet bowl. I would recommend buying this product." —Ariel

It holds five toothbrushes and four cups, and the two toothpaste dispensers use vacuum tech to get every last drop out of the tube.

Promising review: "I am SO happy I bought this for my bathroom! It looks so clean, it is easy to install, and it is easy to clean when toothpaste gets on it! The design is simple yet genius! My 5-year-old uses it with ease, and she doesn't make a mess with the toothpaste tube anymore! I am extremely satisfied, and I have had it for 3 months now. TikTok made me buy it LOL!" —Stephanie Mendoza

FYI: The yellow brush is a medium bristle brush designed for bathroom surfaces. The other colors are better suited for different surfaces based on their stiffness.

Promising review: "Sadly, I only have a shower at my house, and of course, it’s all tile. I have zero clue why anyone would want tile; it’s awful. Saying that cleaning it is the worst, and it never gets clean, and I know for a fact I don’t put enough elbow grease into it. Well, that all changed with these bangers! I just put it into a drill, spray some mildew spray on it, and hammer away. It’s 100% better than doing it by hand not 97% or 98% or even 99% better, it’s 100% better. You need these." —Mark

Promising review: "I owned one of the plastic ones before, and this was a total upgrade! I LOVE the look. It's a little hard to fold, but maybe I just need to work out more. Anyway, my fiancé was very skeptical, but he says it’s AMAZING and now takes less time hogging the restroom." —Evelyn Flores

The Herbal Zen is a small business based in Pennsylvania. Jason, the owner, was a pharmacist before pivoting to creating a line of small-batch hand-crafted essential oil and herbal-based products that are cruelty-free, gluten-free, and made without artificial fragrance and preservatives.

Promising review: "I really enjoy these. I'm pregnant and find it hard to relax and fall asleep now that I'm in my third trimester, and these are great at night when I shower in the dark with just a nightlight. The scent is strong and will give a great waft every time it comes into contact with the hot water. I'm usually in the shower for about half an hour, and I put this in the very back, and it usually lasts throughout the entire time. If I put it near the front, it dissolves in about 5–7 minutes and can be a little overpowering. It also came with a sample of their stress relief scent, which is just lavender and lemon and honestly smells like fruit loops." —trieulove

Promising review: "I searched for weeks before deciding on this particular bathroom storage unit. I wanted a cabinet on the top with doors. I love that the panels in the door are actually glass and not plastic like some others. I put this together myself, and it was very easy! It took me a couple of hours, but I took my time to ensure I put everything together correctly. The instructions were easy to understand, and everything went together quite smoothly. This is very well-made and sturdy! I have no doubts that this will last a long time!" —dolge.

Promising review: "I saw great reviews on this item, so I took the plunge and ordered two sets of them. They were a little pricey, but I am so happy with the product that I think the price was completely worthwhile! These organizers are much better than other plastic drawers I have used in the past. With the way they are designed, items don't get stuck in the drawers, they are easy to slide, they are spacious, and they have little removable 'sectionals' that you can use to organize the inside of the drawers. All in all, this was a great purchase, and I would make it again in a heartbeat." —Tess De Pretis

Promising review: "Who knew that the solution to all of my soap bars getting mushy and gross was this small magnet? It’s aesthetic in my bathroom and holds any size soap — it really is an ingenious invention. It adhered very well to my mirror and was easy to install. A true game changer." —Irene

Promising review: "I moved to a new (well, not exactly new — the building is about 50 years old) NJ apartment three years ago, and I loved it then and still love it today. But there was one serious issue at the time I moved in: my toilet tank. Three years ago, just for curiosity's sake, I lifted the cover, and I nearly fainted after what I peeked inside. It seemed the tank had never been cleaned since it was first installed. I tried to clean it out using vinegar. No use. Scrub it with Comet? Forget it. Straight bleach? Worked a bit, but it was a waste of time. Happily, I came across this product. After two applications, I allowed the tank to marinate (soak) overnight. After I lifted the cover in the morning, what a shock!!! The entire tank looked SO MUCH CLEANER THAN NEVER BEFORE. This is a gift from the toilet gods. Now I have the cleanest toilet tank in my entire building, for sure :) Very happy and totally satisfied with this cleaner, and I'll purchase it again if needed from Amazon. You won't be disappointed with this amazing yucky tank cleaner." —IZZY

Promising review: "I was sooo skeptical and was confused about how they’d work, but the gel solidifies, and with every flush, suds wash through with the water, and it really makes a fresh difference. Also, the scent is light but really nice and fresh! I recommend these 100%! They’re super interesting, but they do the job." —Janet

Promising review: "These are so easy to install! We sold our house and moved into a mobile home on our land while we built a house. We wanted to do a little updating, but we don't want to spend a lot. We decided to use self-adhesive flooring, and I fell in love with these! The pattern and color were perfect for my bathroom theme! Installation was easy and quick. They stick great, and it's been a few weeks, and we've had no issues. I love the texture, and they're so easy to clean! Definitely recommend!" —Heather Wine

Promising review: "Please don't hesitate to buy this! I had a severe clog that didn't want to move! I tried with my old plunger, and I tried putting bleach in overnight. It still wouldn't clear out, and I tried the home remedies that Google suggested. I went to Walmart online and discovered this revolutionary new type of plunger. The Toilet Shroom is the real deal! It didn't take 5 minutes to get rid of the clog that nightmares are made of! Please follow the directions on the box because it is the key to getting rid of the clog!" —Walmart Customer

Promising review: "I used to shave at the gym after 10 minutes in the steam room. Now that the gym is closed, I need to shave at home, and the best place to do that is in the shower. This is by far the simplest solution: a mirror that hangs on the glass with a suction cup. It needs to be warmed up (the shower works fine for that) for 10 seconds or so, and it remains fog-free long enough to shave. It may look small, but the size is quite adequate. The suction works pretty well, although if you leave it up for a few days, it may fall. Not a problem, since the mirror is plastic and unbreakable. Highly recommended." —William Kasimer

Promising review: "I saw this product on Shark Tank and was annoyed that the sharks (nearly all men and one woman who’s worn her hair short for years) had such a strong negative reaction to the HairyGrabster. As soon as I saw it, I was like, YES, I NEED THAT! Especially since my husband decided to grow his hair long as an outcome of the pandemic. We need this silicone thing to keep our drains clear. He had no idea you lose that much hair when you wear it long, but that’s because I’ve been the one picking his hair out of the drain lately! I tested it out in the shower tonight, and the HairyGrabster lives up to its name! See my attached photo. The mass of hair is gross, but less gross than yanking it out of the shower drain, along with other nasty stuff. $10 each is kind of expensive, so I bought a two-pack to defray the cost. I never knew I needed this item, but now I can’t think of a better solution aside from cutting my hair shorter to minimize hair loss. I will be buying more to give as gifts to my other long-haired friends. The HairyGrabster suctions to the shower door really well. You just need to wet the back beforehand!" —Holly TJ

Note that the suction cups will stick best if you do not have a textured tub.

Promising review: "The SereneLife bath mat is everything I wanted it to be. This has turned my garden tub in my apartment into a very nice Jacuzzi tub. It feels really great on sore muscles and aerates bubble bath to be very aromatic. The jets are really strong and feel nice on your body." —Megan
