A collection of the “boring but necessary” bathroom items every first time homeowner ends up needing. These aren’t the fun purchases… but trust me, you’ll be glad you have them in the first couple months of living in your home.
the least glamorous purchase on this list… but maybe the most important 😭 if you shed even a little, this thing will save your drains (and your sanity)
DrainWig Shower Drain Hair Catcher
one of those tiny homeowner purchases that makes middle-of-the-night bathroom trips so much easier 😅 soft lighting without blinding yourself at 2am
AUVON LED Night Light with Motion & Dusk Sensor
one of those weirdly specific homeowner things nobody tells you about 😅 these help catch silent toilet leaks before they turn into a higher water bill
Dissolvable Blue Dye Tablets for Leak & Adulteration Detection
a guest bathroom essential in my opinion! one of those little things that makes shared bathrooms feel way less awkward
a very unexciting homeowner purchase… but scented bathroom trash bags honestly make such a difference in small spaces
Hefty Small Trash Bags, Fabuloso Scent, 4 Gal, 52 Ct
used to remove hair and debris from clogged drains in sinks, showers, and tubs. the most disgusting but one of the most useful things I own
8 Pack Drain Snake Clog Remover
if you have hard water… this is one of those products that quickly becomes a bathroom staple. it makes such a difference on faucets, shower glass, and buildup around sinks
Lime-A-Way Hard Water Stain Remover Spray
one of those tiny things that makes cleaning your shower way less annoying later. takes 10 seconds and helps keep glass looking spotless ✨
Stainless Steel Shower Squeegee with Hooks
one of those homeowner things nobody talks about until your grout suddenly starts looking… questionable 😭 this makes such a difference with buildup in bathrooms!
Power Paste All Purpose Cleaner Bundle
I use these microfiber cloths constantly for mirrors, counters, faucets, and quick cleanups. they're great because they leave no streaks and are washable!
Amazon Basics Microfiber Cleaning Cloths
one of those “lazy cleaning” homeowner purchases that actually makes a difference between deep cleans 😅 just know bleach tablets can be harsh on toilet tank parts over time, so I use these more as an occasional reset than an everyday thing
Clorox Ultra Clean Toilet Tablets Bleach
one of those bathroom essentials that isn’t exciting… but this version at least hides the brush and actually looks clean sitting out in your bathroom
OXO Good Grips Compact Toilet Brush & Canister
proof that even the least glamorous bathroom essentials can still look clean and minimal
OXO Good Grips Toilet Plunger
a tiny bathroom upgrade that makes a big difference! this keeps water where it’s supposed to be and helps avoid that gross mildew buildup over time
BigFoot Clear Shower Curtain Liner
under-sink storage gets chaotic FAST in bathrooms. this makes everything way easier to find and keeps the cabinet from turning into a pile of cleaning products and toiletries
