16 FANTASTIC BATHROOM CLEANING HACKS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Let’s be real for a second—cleaning the bathroom sucks. Nobody wakes up excited thinking, “Yes! Today’s toilet-scrubbing day!” Unless you’re some kind of superhero (in which case, please teach me your ways), you probably try to avoid it as long as possible. But here’s the deal: bathrooms don’t clean themselves. And the longer you put it off, the scarier it gets.


The good news? I’ve got your back. Over the years, I’ve picked up some genius little tricks—bathroom cleaning hacks that save time, energy, and maybe even your sanity. Some of these I learned the hard way (trust me, vinegar is your best friend), and others are pure internet gold that actually work.


So grab a coffee, roll up your sleeves (or don’t, some of these hacks barely require effort), and let’s get into 16 fantastic bathroom cleaning hacks you’ll wish you knew sooner.







1. Use Vinegar to Defeat Shower Head Buildup



Ever noticed your shower pressure isn’t what it used to be? It’s probably not you—it’s the mineral buildup.


  • Fill a plastic bag with vinegar.
  • Tie it around your shower head.
  • Leave it overnight.



Wake up, remove the bag, run the water, and boom—goodbye crusty buildup, hello power shower.





2. Baking Soda + Vinegar = Toilet Superhero



Cleaning toilets is…well, gross. But this hack makes it almost fun (almost).


  • Sprinkle baking soda into the bowl.
  • Add a splash of vinegar.
  • Let the fizzing do the dirty work.



Scrub lightly and your toilet will sparkle like it’s auditioning for a cleaning commercial.





3. Squeegee = Your Mirror’s New BFF



Hate wiping toothpaste splatters every morning? Keep a small squeegee in your bathroom. Quick swipe after your shower and mirror = crystal clear, streak-free, drama-free.





4. Dryer Sheets for Soap Scum



Soap scum on glass shower doors is the villain of bathroom cleaning. But here’s the plot twist: dryer sheets fight it like magic. Just dampen one and wipe down the glass. It’s like Photoshop, but for your shower.





5. Lemon for Hard Water Stains



Got faucets covered in weird white spots? Slice a lemon in half, rub it on the stains, and watch them disappear. Bonus: it smells amazing, unlike that chemical spray that makes you cough for 10 minutes.





6. Shaving Cream = Fog-Free Mirrors



Want to stop wiping fog off the mirror after every shower? Rub a thin layer of shaving cream over it, then wipe it off. You’ll have a fog-free reflection next time you step out. Who knew?





7. Toothbrush = Tiny Scrub Brush



Those old toothbrushes? Don’t toss them! They’re perfect for scrubbing grout lines, around the faucet, and other tiny spots your sponge can’t reach. Just don’t mix them up with the one you’re still using. (Ew.)





8. Coca-Cola for Toilet Stains



Yes, seriously. Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl, let it sit an hour, then flush. The acid breaks down stains. Kinda gross, kinda genius.





9. Magic Erasers for Bathtub Rings



Bathtub rings are annoying and hard to scrub…unless you use a Magic Eraser. Wet it, wipe, and watch the grime vanish. It feels like cheating, but hey, who cares?





10. Vent Fan = Dust Magnet



Your bathroom vent is probably hiding enough dust to knit a sweater. Remove the cover, vacuum it, and wipe it down. Not only does it look better, but your fan will actually work again.





11. Toothpaste for Chrome Fixtures



Instead of harsh cleaners, just grab plain white toothpaste. Rub it on chrome faucets, rinse, and shine. Your sink hardware will look brand new. Who knew your Colgate could multitask?





12. Essential Oils in the Toilet Paper Roll



Want your bathroom to smell fresh 24/7 without those chemical air fresheners? Add a few drops of essential oil inside the cardboard tube of your toilet paper roll. Every time it spins—instant air freshener. Subtle, smart, and cheap.





13. Vinegar Spray for Shower Curtains



Shower curtains get gross fast. Fill a spray bottle with vinegar + water, spritz after every shower, and you’ll stop that gross mildew smell before it starts. Pro tip: toss it in the washing machine once a month too.





14. Hair Dryer to Defog Mirrors



Don’t want to mess with shaving cream? Quick fix: just blast your mirror with a hair dryer for 30 seconds. Poof—fog gone. (Plus, you feel like you’re in a fancy hotel bathroom.)





15. Keep a Cleaning Caddy Handy



Instead of hunting down supplies every time, keep a small cleaning caddy in your bathroom stocked with the essentials—sponges, spray, cloths, etc. It makes quick cleanups so much less of a hassle.





16. Microfiber Cloth = MVP



Forget paper towels that leave lint everywhere. Invest in a good microfiber cloth. It wipes mirrors, glass, sinks, and counters streak-free. Wash it, reuse it, repeat = money saved.





Extra Pro Tips (Because Why Not?)



  • Do quick daily wipe-downs to avoid marathon cleaning sessions.
  • Keep a bathroom playlist—because scrubbing toilets is slightly better with music.
  • Reward yourself after cleaning (coffee, Netflix, chocolate—you earned it).






Final Thoughts



Look, bathrooms may be everyone’s least favorite cleaning project, but with these 16 fantastic hacks, you don’t have to dread it. Most of these tricks use stuff you already have at home—vinegar, baking soda, lemons—and they actually work.


The secret is to stop thinking of bathroom cleaning as a giant chore and instead break it down with smart little shortcuts. Trust me, once you try a few of these, you’ll feel like a total cleaning ninja. And hey—your bathroom will thank you.


So, which of these hacks are you trying first? And if you’ve got your own weird-but-awesome trick, spill the tea—I’m always looking for new ways to make cleaning less…soul-crushing. :)
