1. A pair of suction cup hooks that'll get your towels and robes off the floor. Now they'll actually be dry next time you need to use them. Since these use suction to stick to windows or glass, you don't have to worry about damaging your walls.
Promising review: "These suction cup hooks are exactly what I needed for my bathroom. They were very easy to install, no tools required, just press and they stick right on. I use them on my shower wall and glass door, and they hold towels and robes with no slipping.
The quality feels solid, and they look sleek in black, which matches everything nicely. I also like that they’re removable and don’t leave any marks or damage behind.
Great for organizing small spaces and keeping things off the floor. Definitely a useful and reliable product!" —Rafa B.

My rental shower has a textured, plexiglass floor. No matter what I try, it always looks dingy and dirty...until I started using this stuff! I spritz it in the shower before bed and rinse it out in the morning. It's the only thing that's made my shower look and feel clean!
Promising review: "I love this stuff. I have purchased several bottles of it. The bottle is a good size and lasts a long time.

It is clear, so there is no color to bleed into your grout. I use this weekly to keep my shower clean with minimal scrubbing.

Promising review: "This thing is a game changer. I love it. I have not overstuffed any of the pockets, simply keeping one item in each pocket, but it is so much better than having shampoo and conditioner and scrub bottles on the edge of the shower!

Promising review: "One of my favorite Amazon purchases! They are not pretty, but are they functional! The sticky stuff was easy to apply, just be sure to get it level. I’ve had them for about a month, and they are still mounted solidly. So convenient! Very sturdy." —Beach Girl

Promising review: "I have one brass sink and one copper sink in my basement. I hate those things because, unless you completely dry them after every single use, you get all the discoloration. Once visitors leave, they are such a pain to clean. My arms are about to fall off! These attachments made cleaning them a breeze. Also, I had a multi-month visitor, and the tub was awful…This brush set made it so easy." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in three other styles).

Get it from Amazon for $6.92.

Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these microfiber cleaning cloths. The assortment of colors makes it easy to designate them for different tasks, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. They are soft yet very effective at picking up dust, spills, and grime without leaving any lint or streaks behind. I have washed them many times, and they hold up well without losing absorbency or falling apart. For the price, this 12-pack provides excellent value, and I always have a clean cloth on hand for any cleaning job around the house or car." —Charlie Price

When I cleaned it, I felt like I needed something powerful. Not anymore! This Scrub cleaned both effortlessly — I mean practically wiped and swiped, and did it. I love this product and all the Clean People products I've tried!" —Jacqueline H.
Get it from Clean People for $13.
