4 Cleaning Tools Everyone Needs in Their Bathroom
The bathroom might just be my least favorite spot to clean in my home — but it’s also the most rewarding one. Case in point: I know that scrubbing the shower until it sparkles takes a lot of work, but it’s deeply satisfying to see all the soap scum and hard water streaks disappear.
To keep up with regular bathroom cleaning, I rely on four core tools. See below for the best cleaning tools for the bathroom that I swear by.
The Best Bathroom Cleaning Tools
