1. Cordless vacuum

Skip the robot vacuum, they all get stuck in random places in the house and they’ll end up feeling like another child you’ve gotta go babysit. Trust me, I fell into the trap of buying a robot vacuum and it truly just sits in the corner now. If it wasn’t getting stuck somewhere, it was getting caught on kids’ toys, or worse- my toddler was trying to catch a ride on top of it!

A cordless vacuum has been one of the most life-changing cleaning tools for me, and it truly is a part of my everyday cleaning routine and schedule. The main thing I love about it is the versatility to be able to use it on my wood floors and my carpet. I rarely even use a broom anymore, and I’ve found vacuuming to be so much faster compared to sweeping! This is the one I use, but if you have a few extra bucks to spare, maybe even consider going for a wet-dry vac! Imagine your toddler just spilled a bowl of cereal for the third time this week, now instead of getting down on your hands and knees and cleaning all of that up, you pull out this wet dry vac and suck everything up in less than a few seconds. Wipe down the floor to ensure it’s not sticky and you’re good to go!

2. Spin mop

I know what you’re thinking, what makes a spin mop so different from a normal mop? But seriously, the spinning action is so much faster and takes much less effort than wringing out an old-fashioned mop, it’s truly an expedited process.

If you’re feeling like really getting things clean, you can also do a two-bucket method with your spin mop. The method is having a separate bucket of your clean and soapy water, and then using the spin mop bucket as your “dirty” water. This helps to ensure you are not just pushing mud all around your floors, and this method is sure to keep those floors sparkling!

3. Meyers Baking Soda Cream Cleaner

I use this stuff on everything, and I’ve found it is exceptionally great at cleaning glass stove tops! You know how over time you get those burnt rings on a glass stove top? This cream cleaner will take those marks off effortlessly! I swear by this stuff.

I also love using it for cleaning stone countertops. I get nervous using harsh chemicals on my counters because frankly I really don’t remember what I should and shouldn’t use on them, but I know I can trust Meyers to be natural and eco-friendly, so I know my expensive counters are safe!

4. Pink Stuff glass cleaner

This stuff works wonders, and not only on glass. Ammonia is a great way to clean up pet stains on your carpet, and I’ve found this spray to do a wonderful job for this specific scenario. 

It’s also great for cleaning stainless steel appliances, which are typically impossible to prevent streaking on, but this product truly doesn’t leave a single streak! It’s seriously a must-have if you’ve got stainless steel appliances!

5. crevice & corner cleaning brushes

These are some of the best cleaning tools on the market and an absolute must-have for every house! Whether it be baseboards, countertops, or anything in between, those corners collect dirt so quickly! Without cleaning the crevices and corners, you may begin to feel like your house never truly looks clean! These crevice and corner cleaning brushes will help you get that truly deep clean every household needs!

6. Garbage disposal deodorizing drops

Garbage disposals sometimes end up stinky! These lemon-scented drops are so simple to use, that you literally just drop one in, turn on the water, and start the garbage disposal for a few seconds! This is one cleaning task you can get done in a matter of seconds with these easy-to-use drops, and they smell amazing!

7. Microfiber kitchen towels

These towels may seem like unnecessary cleaning tools but let me tell you, they make cleaning so much easier! They trap the dirt and crumbs rather than just pushing them around everywhere, and they seriously just feel nice! They absorb quite a bit of moisture too, so they are my go-to for cleaning up toddler spills. 

8. Handheld pressurized steam cleaner

This steam cleaner is all the rage on the TikTok cleaning videos and with good reason! This steam cleaner is amazing for getting all of that gunk out of tight cracks and crevices! Try it on your grout between tiles and be amazed as the dirt and grime literally melts away! It’s effortless to use, and the results are immediately visible! This tool is so amazing, I couldn’t imagine living without it!

9. Scrub Daddy EVERYTHING

Of course those little sponges are adorable, but they are so much more than just a cute sponge! Scrub Daddy has made a name for themselves due to their unique technology incorporated into the sponges! The sponge actually changes the firmness based on the water temperature! They get soft in warm water, and harder in cold water- so whether you need to do some major scrubbing or even just some light cleaning, scrub daddy can TRULY do it all! 

Not to mention, that adorable smiley face gives you an extra little bit of cleaning motivation when you look at it 🙂

10. Car cleaning wipes

As a mom, I feel like I really don’t have much time (or the proper cleaning tools) to devote to my car and keeping it nicely detailed, but these wipes make things look just a little nicer and help us stretch to make it to our next true detail! One of my best mom cleaning hacks is to simply keep these wipes tucked away somewhere in the car, so when you’re stopped in traffic or at the pickup line, you can easily and quickly wipe down the dashboard while you wait!

So, what is holding you back from keeping your house clean in the easiest way possible? Cleaning isn’t exactly the most fun thing in the world, but these 10 cleaning tools make cleaning easier so that you can get back to doing all of the fun things faster!
