It's small, grimy and it's where you find out all those gross little things about your housemates that you didn't want to know (taking tampons out in the shower and leaving them there is now a thing, cool, good to know), but that doesn't mean your bathroom deserves to be forgotten when you're sprucing up your house.
Here are some cheap and useful things that'll mean you'll actually want to take a shower.
These no-tools-required sticky hanger things
Sick and tired of having a shower only to find your stinky boy housemate casually hung his towel over yours and now yours smells nearly as bad as his? These snazzy knob hangers come in packs of five and are different colours so you and all your delightful housemates can all have one each. Whether you choose to wash your towels or not.
This light pull that is the end of excuses for pee everywhere
‘Oh, nooo, it was dark in the middle of the night and I couldn’t find the light switch.’ NICE TRY, MISTER. With this glow-in-the dark light pull that excuse is firmly out the window, putting an end to those ‘surprise puddles’ next to the toilet you keep stepping in in the morning.
This water-friendly cactus that’ll stop your jewellery rusting
We’ve got a nice little routine that involves taking off all our jewellery, getting in the shower then forgetting all about it until we find it several months later, rusting and discoloured, thanks to the blob of shampoo it’s been festering in. This plastic cactus dude can sit just by your shower and hold all your bits while you wash. Even if you forget to take the jewellery back off it, it won’t get ruined or lost.
This shower timer to stop you and your housemates killing each other
Ever got in the shower and zoned out mid-scrub only to zone back in ten minutes later to an irate housemate banging on the door and realising the hot water’s definitely run out? This five-minute shower timer will teach you to keep your showers short and sweet, and it sticks to the wall with a suction thingy, so again, no tools required. Which is always a bonus as we have none.
This friendly bathtime pal
Why? For starters, no ones has used rubber duckies since Bert and Ernie’s time. Scuba Steve here actually serves a function by holding the fort down by your bath’s plug. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it rubber duck douches.
