There are so many tools on the market to help you clean your home quickly and more efficiently. I previously wrote about time saving laundry and housecleaning tips, now it’s time to talk about the tools that can save you time.
Personally, I don’t like disposable products, I think they are a waste of money and landfill space, but I can also see the need for them. So here are some products to help you keep your house clean.
Cleaning the toilet is not high on anyone’s list of favorite things to do. Luckily there are products on the market to make the job a little more bearable. There are several disposable toilet brushes. These are handy because you don’t need additional cleaners and you don’t have to find a place to store a dripping toilet brush. There is also a new system that you set up and step on it to spray cleaner in the toilet.
There are several mops on the market that include a part that holds a cleaning solution so you can just mop and go, no buckets to fill, carry and empty. These can also usually hold a dry cloth for sweeping and dusting floors.
A long handled duster is a must. The handle should be collapsible so you don’t have to carry around two dusters. You can dust the bookshelves and get the cobwebs in the corners.
Microfiber cloths are the new cleaning product that everyone is raving about. The best thing about them is they are reusable, just wash and they are ready to go again. They can handle everything that you normally do with a paper towel and don’t leave lint behind like paper towels can.
Disinfecting wipes can come in very handy although they can be expensive. I keep them in my cubicle at work to keep the area clean. They also come in handy in the bathroom, especially if you have little boys. I keep these wipes in the car as well. They are great for wiping your shoes if you’ve stepped in something and wiping up spills in the car.
Make sure when you buy a new vacuum that it has plenty of attachments. I love the little upholstery brush and use it to clean my baseboards without bending. It’s also easier to use an attachment than to try to balance the vacuum on each step.
There are many more, find the things that make cleaning faster and easier for you.
