Spring Cleaning Tools
Spring cleaning and all things spring cleaning tools have arrived.
Let me tell you.
I personally love a good clean.
But can equally dread it at the same time.
All in all — my mental health always improves after a good clean and clear out.
I have been doing these regularly throughout the entire pandemic.
Before the pandemic?
Who had the time?
But now, with a healthy refocus that an uncluttered and clean space brings you.
I really do have to say — keep the clear out’s coming.
In this blog post I wanted to offer my favorite spring-cleaning tools.
As well as items that I plan on bringing into the spring cleaning mix this year.
These are items you may want to know about, or even items you may have wanted to be reminded of.
Favorite Tools
Cleaning would be nothing without the tools we decide to clean with.
My favorite tools to spring clean with are those that do the heavy lifting on dirt and grime.
Perhaps like me, you have a fur baby?
If you do, you’re probably of the mindset that animals are family.
Because they are (obviously).
In saying that, you probably also like it to feel and smell as if your home has a pet that never smells.
If this is you, let me introduce you to my favorite spring cleaning tools that are pet fur proof.
These tools are also really easy to use.
A bonus, really.
These are items that I use year-round, but really get their time to shine every six months or so.
Pet Friendly Vacuum
Who doesn’t love a good vacuum and clean floors?
Investing in a good vacuum is key to making sure your floor and carpets are fur-free or fur-free-ish.
I love my pet hair vacuum.
The great thing about this vacuum is I get to see exactly how much my dog is shedding.
Then I get to dispose of the fluff and re-evaluate my cleaning strategy.
To keep things fresh, I try to vacuum twice a week (more if needed).
Vacuum Selections
This vacuum by Shark is a powerhouse. If you have a dog that sheds — or just tends to need a lot of power in your cleaning –this is a great option.
I love how lightweight this one is. Perfect for all the hard-to-reach areas. Versatile and agility, which I love. Plus it is compact so it is easy to store away.
A furbuster? Yes, please.
Carpet Cleaner
At this point, I think we can see that I love a clean floor.
The Hoover carpet cleaner has become my new cleaning obsession…… (every six months or so).
Why am I obsessed with it?
Mostly because it’s really compact and adorable, but also packs a punch.
Firstly, it does not take up a lot of space and it is really easy to use.
Secondly, it has a built-in drying mechanism.
This means that the dry time on your carpet floor is reduced.
Thirdly, this thing takes out tough stains.
Pet-related stains or human stains (it does it all) and does so flawlessly.
But are there any cons to this carpet cleaner?
It’s a bit loud, but other than that I think it does the trick.
It’s great for small spaces, but it isn’t the typical strength of your everyday carpet cleaner.
I have the Hoover Power Dash. It’s on Amazon for $119.
This one by Hoover is also a great option — and a bit cheaper.
Winston Brands also has a great affordable option.
Bare Floors
I do eventually have to lead into the necessity of bare floor cleaning, right?
To clean my bare floors — I use this Swifter Wet Jet, and I love it.
For years, I had used the original Swifter.
However, I was constantly needing to replace the cloth midway through cleaning the kitchen –Not great.
With this, I only have to use one cloth and can rewet the mop with a push of a button.
I love this thing.
My next favorite is the O-Cedar Spin Mop, which is a great investment for great mopping results.
Dusting Tools
You cannot talk about spring cleaning without talking about dusting.
Fact.
I try to dust every week.
Tasking myself to dust is annoying, but I love the feel of a clean environment that is dust-free.
To achieve this — I use either the swifter duster or a microfiber dusting tool.
You cannot go wrong with the microfiber duster.
It’s great because when you need to clean the duster, all you have to do is throw it into the wash, and it’s as good as new.
Under the Bed Storage
Microfiber towels are also a great thing to always have on hand for cleaning or dusting.
Spring Cleaning Organizational Tools
Spring Cleaning is all about organization and decluttering– or putting things away until next season.
To help me along with these things, I always look for new ways to organize and store things.
Things that can stay in storage until they are needed again are a must when spring cleaning.
Here are some of my favorites.
Extra Storage
Closet Organizers
Closet resets are a welcome breath of fresh air these days.
What is in there?
Shopping my closet and finding treasures. All signs of a great time.
Clothes Pants Hanger
Stacking things like jeans on hangers and purse hooks can help when organizing your closet.
Purse Stacking
Hangers
I swear by these.
Dresser Drawer Organization
Now let’s talk about dressers.
I am the OG at shoving things in drawers.
Adding boundaries within the drawers is a great remedy for that, honestly.
Reorganizing things to combat bad habits so that you’re less likely to do them.
Under The Sink Storage
Another place organization can be lacking for a lot of people, can be underneath your sinks.
If you have ever needed a hand in under-the-sink organizing —
Amazon and Target can really help you out.
Kitchen Tools
Kitchen organization and all of its tools are also amazing.
Truly, I love tools for fixing the chaos that can sometimes come from the kitchen space.
Making room for little storage bins within the fridge allows you to see your fridge in a new way.
This will free up time wondering where certain items are.
Or even what items are in the fridge.
In addition to organizing, it really opens up the visual space.
Another great investment has been insertable swivel Lazy Susan turntables.
These turntable cabinet inserts are amazing.
Lazy Susan’s allows you to spend less time searching for kitchen ingredients, which is great.
And it also keeps the clutter to a minimum.
Bathroom Favorites
Now, to tackle bathroom clutter and the tools to fight it.
In all spaces and rooms within your home, organization is key.
Every six months or so, I replace my shower curtain liner.
Here is one you can purchase to keep your shower space refreshed for spring.
Bathroom Countertop Space
To combat even more clutter, I really love this countertop hair tool kit.
What is not to love?
There is freedom in making sure everything has a place is key to a clutter-free space.
These hair tool storage kits allow more counter space and more visually pleasing aspects of your home.
Plus, you do not have to wonder where things are.
A great way to live is living in a space that works for you.
That’s All
