BUBBLIEST BATHROOM ATTENDANT

Scrubbing Bubbles Bathroom Grime Fighter

Bathrooms can get pretty gross. (Understatement much?) Social Media Editor Samantha Saunion turns to this disinfectant to conquer her toilets, sinks, tub, and floors. "I'm a self-proclaimed lazy cleaner, so I love that it does all the hard work for me," she says. Spray. Let sit. Wipe. Done. $4; walmart.​com

All Free Clear Laundry Detergent

Beauty Director Heather Muir Maffei swears by this detergent because of how gentle it is on clothes. "I have a 3-year-old and a 5-year-old, plus I have reactive skin, which is incredibly sensitive," she says. "This fragrance-free formula is recommended by derms and actually gets clothes clean without damaging them." $12; target.​com

Windex Vinegar Glass Cleaner

It's amazing what a difference clean windows can make. This stuff forgoes a lot of the typical chemicals but still leaves a streakfree shine that Managing Editor Tara Cox is always impressed with. "It has all the glass-cleaning power of vinegar but isn't stinky like straight vinegar," she says. $4; amazon.​com
