Walmart

Promising review: “I bought this bathroom space saver and I wish I’d bought it long before now. It fits perfectly in the space behind the toilet but not flush against the wall because of the thick baseboard. It seems to be very sturdy so I’m not concerned about it tipping over. It doesn’t touch the actual toilet so it shouldn’t get bumped or anything. It’s a serious upgrade from the skimpy chrome tube kind of organizer, and it adds some serious storage to the bathroom.” —DIYLady

Obviously my arm doesn’t have the same rotation speed as this but dannggg…I also used it on my very dirty white bathroom floor grout. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it, it saves your arm!!” —Mia
