Cleaning can be the most tedious, time-consuming task when you're trying to maintain your home. But with the right tools for the job and a bit of elbow grease, cleaning can be made easier. Here's a list of must-have cleaning tools that will help you get through even the messiest situations:
Mop
A bucket and mop are handy when you want to clean the floor. You can use the mop to clean the floor or the bathroom and then put it in the bucket with water and soap to make sure that it is clean. The bucket also has other uses such as storing your clothes when you are doing laundry.
Sponge or dishcloth
A sponge is handy for all kinds of cleaning jobs around the house. It’s especially useful for scrubbing out grout, getting rid of tough stains on your countertop, and cleaning up spills on your floor. For dishes, you can use a sponge or a dishcloth. A sponge has more surface area than a cloth does, which makes it great for wiping down large surfaces like your kitchen counters or bathroom tile. A dishcloth is better for smaller jobs like washing glasses or cleaning out your sink.
Bucket
A bucket is one of the most basic cleaning tools in existence — it doesn’t require any fancy attachments or accessories to be effective at its job. You can use it to soak rags (which we'll talk about later) or to store liquids (like bleach). But it's also useful as a place where you can dump some water before tossing them around the house with your mop head attached to the handle of your broom.
Toilet brush and toilet cleaner
An essential tool for cleaning the inside of your toilet bowl, a good toilet brush will have long, sturdy bristles to get into those hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, make sure your toilet brush can withstand high temperatures; you’ll want to disinfect it after each use to avoid spreading germs from one person to another.
Toilet cleaner: A good all-purpose cleaner is a must for keeping your bathroom fresh and clean. Look for one that works well on glass and mirrors as well as porcelain surfaces like your sink and tub.
Vacuum cleaner
A vacuum cleaner is a must-have tool if you want to keep your house clean. You can use it to get rid of dust from different places in your house including under the bed, sofa, and so on. It will help you get rid of dirt easily without having to spend too much time on it. It will also help keep your home free from bugs such as cockroaches which may cause health problems if left alone for long periods of time.
Screwdrivers
A basic set of screwdrivers should include both flathead and Phillips head. You can get them in different sizes and lengths depending on what you need to do. For example, a short one is good for working under sinks and appliances while a longer one is better if you need to use more force when removing screws or tightening things up.
Dust rag or feather duster
A dust rag is a simple piece of cloth that you can use to wipe off dust from surfaces. You can also use them for picking up pet hair and other small particles as well. Feather dusters are also very useful as they can be used to pick up dust from places where dusting is not possible such as inside electrical outlets or behind furniture etc.
Rubber gloves
Wearing rubber gloves while cleaning will save your hands from getting dry and calloused. It also prevents germs from spreading to other areas of your body through the spread of bacteria and viruses if you accidentally spill some chemicals on yourself. If nothing else, it will keep your hands clean!
Dust pan/brush combo
A dust pan/brush combo is great at picking up small bits of dirt or debris off floor surfaces like tiles or wood. Just sweep them into the dustpan then dump it out into your garbage bin later on when you’re done sweeping!
Ultrasonic cleaners
An quality ultrasonic cleaner is a cleaning tool that uses ultrasonic waves (high-frequency sound waves) to clean parts and surfaces. Ultrasonic cleaners use vibrations to remove dirt, stains, and debris from delicate items like jewelry, watches, eyeglasses and other small items.
Brooms
A broom should be used to sweep up dirt, dust, pet hair and other messes from hardwood floors, tile, laminate and other smooth surfaces. We recommend getting a broom with bristles on both sides because they will help to pick up more dirt than traditional brooms.
Swiffer
These handy little gadgets are great for quick spot cleaning throughout your home. Swiffers are available in several different types of materials such as cloths or pads depending on what you prefer. The cloths come in different sizes and have a “extendable handle” that makes it easy for anyone to use them! If you have pets or kids who love to play outside then these are a must have!
We hope this list will help you as you explore the wonderful world of cleaning. The next time someone asks what your favorite tool is, we suggest you send them here!
