Our Top 10 Favorite Cleaning Tools

Call us cleaning dorks if you must, but we believe everyone should have at least one favorite cleaning tool. In our case, since we spend so much time cleaning, we have more than one. We've listed our top 10 favorite cleaning tools so you can share in the love.

1. Scrub Daddy

Scrub Daddy has enjoyed some much-deserved publicity on TikTok, being showcased as a sponge of preference for lots of professional cleaners. That’s because it has a cool texture-changing feature; in cold water, it's rigid to help remove debris; in hot water, it's soft and acts as more of a gentle sponge. This versatility makes it a must-have.

2. Sponge Holder

Speaking of sponges, what’s worse than a wet and cold one sitting in a puddle until you pick it up? Probably stepping on a Lego, and that’s it. That’s why we love sponge holders, especially the ones that hang over the side of the sink to let the water drain out so you don’t have to cringe when you do dishes.

3. Dishwashing and Cleaning Gloves

Another option is to skirt around, never touching the sponge with your bare hands. We love cleaning and dishwashing gloves because they separate us from the dirt, grime, and cleaning product inherent in cleaning.

4. Washing Up Bowls

You never know when you might need to soak something a little longer than the other dishes or need an extra bucket of hot soapy water for tackling that fridge or shower. That’s why we love washing up because they give you an easy-to-use extra space. And some even have an easy-to-use drain on the bottom.

5. Mop Vacs

Who doesn’t love an effective 2-in-1? Mop vacs suck up dirt and debris while mopping, turning two big jobs into one. There's a variety of kinds, from heavy-duty mop vacs to budget-friendly mop vacs, but no matter what, you’re getting a great clean for less work.

6. Squeegees

If you’ve ever watched a window washer work, you know the power of the humble squeegee. There are lots of these, from big squeegees perfect for windows to smaller squeegees to keep your shower stall clean.

7. Standing Broom and Dustpan Combo

Hey, we're here to save your back. The worst part of sweeping is getting all the crumbs into the dustpan without turning into the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Standing brooms and dustpan combos give you an easy way to sweep everything up neatly into the dustpan without having to throw yourself on the ground to do it.

8. Magic Erasers

Another household name, Magic Erasers, really does seem like magic. They're a great fix-all, picking up all kinds of scuffs, marks, and even markers from sensitive surfaces like walls or sneakers.

9. Shower Scrubbers

What we love most about shower scrubbers is that they extend. This saves your back and your knees, letting you get extra leverage on those hard-to-reach spots while still getting a good scrub in. And you can always use them for places other than the shower too.

10. Cleaning Caddy

You’ve got to have somewhere to stash all our favorite cleaning tools, and that’s a cleaning caddy. This multipurpose storage bin can come with a handle, wheels, or both (those are the best), making it easier on your back and arms to bring supplies to where they’re needed.
