Getting the bathroom ready for company takes a little more effort than hanging holiday-themed guest towels. It’s time to polish the porcelain and scrub the tub. Fortunately, the experts at Consumer Reports are seasoned grime fighters who test cleaning products all year long. Here are some of our recommended bathroom cleaning products and others you can skip. Sponges can be magnets for bacteria and a bathroom is germy enough. Try cleaning with paper towels that you can then discard. In our tough paper towel tests, we measure absorbency, wet strength and how a paper towel holds up when used to scrub a rough surface. For everyday wipe-ups, Bounty Extra Soft was excellent for absorbency and very good for scrubbing and wet strength. But for bigger jobs use the Bounty DuraTowel, which was excellent on all three tests and the top-scoring towel in our tests by far. But it’s more expensive than most so you may want to reserve it for tougher jobs. Liquid Pine-Sol Original was the only all-purpose cleaner in our tests that didn’t leave streaks on a mirrored surface so that should be your go-to cleaner for the bathroom.

It was also very good at removing soap scum and at cleaning up food stains more commonly found in the kitchen. In our tests, three spray cleaners were also very good at tackling soap scum but they all left streaks on the mirror. They include such familiar brands as Seventh Generation,  Clorox, and Trader Joe's. And if your grout is discolored, you’re better off relying on a tried and true cleanser like Ajax or Comet than on those as-seen-on-TV grout cleaners. Cheap Platform Beds With MattressIn our tests of the Groutinator and Grout Bully, both about $10, they were tricky to apply and neither lived up to its claims.Qua Baths And Spa Prices A cordless sweeper vacuum with wet and dry options sounds like a good option for a bathroom floor. Sliding Door Handles Stainless Steel

But in our vacuum cleaner tests of the Dyson Hard DC56 and the Swiffer Sweeper/Vac, neither of the hybrids vacuumed as well as the best hand or stick vacuums in our tests. Instead, try one of our top three hand vacuums, which were all excellent at cleaning bare floors and getting into edges. They include the battery-powered Shark Pet Perfect II, $60, and the corded Eureka Easy Clean, $50, and Bissell Pet Hair Eraser, $35. Our top stick vacuum, Dyson V6, $300, was excellent at cleaning carpet, pet hair, bare floors, and edges. But it might be a bit pricey for a vacuum dedicated to the bathroom. For that try the Dirt Devil Accucharge BD20035RED, $70, which was very good at bare floors and edges and quite quiet. If you're stocking up on toilet paper, you can’t go wrong with White Cloud Ultra Soft & Thick from Walmart, which was our top scorer. It was excellent at softness, strength and disintegration.Read over 35 bathroom cleaner reviews shared by "Mom reviewers" like you to find out which products work best, and which should stay on the store shelf.
