7 Amazing Cleaning Products You Can't Live Without
New year, new you, new goals...you know the drill. One of the best things that comes with the turning of the calendar is the undeniable reminder to try. This takes on many forms for many people, but I am sure that finding new ways to keep your space clean is near the top of your list! To help you in this venture, I am sharing the seven cleaning products I absolutely cannot live without (and neither should you!) + one bonus product that can be used in two totally unique ways!
#1 Bon Ami Powder Cleanser ($1.99)
#2 Microfiber Glass Cleaning Cloth ($14 for 8 cloths)
I use these cloths to clean all of the glass in my house (windows, mirrors, shower door, etc) and love that they require ZERO cleansing product - just add water! These cloths last for ages and will completely rid your shiny surfaces of streaks and lint. Bonus points for also being environmentally friendly in their lack of chemicals and re-usability.
#3 OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Squeegee ($14.99)
The best part of using a squeegee to keep the shower doors clean is that it never feels like I am cleaning. We keep this within reach and use it on the doors as soon as we get out of the shower without even thinking about it. It takes about 30 seconds to do this and keeps the doors shiny clean. When you use this religiously, the surface barely requires any additional cleaning. No more scrubbing at soap scum!
#4 Drill Brush Attachment Set ($10.99)
You guys…this is GENIUS. Instead of hand scrubbing tile, counters, you name it, I hook these little brushes up to ANY power drill and go to town! This product is without a doubt the fastest Amazon purchase I have ever completed ever. And when this kit came in the mail and I put it to the test (30 seconds after unboxing it) I nearly wept with joy. I hate scrubbing our shower tile...HATE IT. I dread it every time and almost never get to it because scrubbing the 3 billion miniature tiles in my shower is my own personal hell. This kit scrubs the entire shower in no time and the particular bundle that I linked also has a brush that can get into corners. This attachment is super important for me as the most filthy tiles in my shower are in the corners!
#5 Shark Genius Hard Floor Cleaning System ($120)
We are bumping up in price but also in bang for your buck with this steamer. We have outrageous amounts of tile flooring in our house (are you sensing the theme that I hate my tile?) so a system to get out the gunk and deep clean grout is non-negotiable. Of the products and gadgets that I have tried, this steamer does the best job with the dirtiest tile - all with just hot steam and a washable cleaning pad. My only hesitation is that the cleaning pad can get stained relatively quickly, making it difficult to get that "look how much dirt I got" feeling of satisfaction after each time you clean (this does not effect the actual amount of dirt you are picking up, just the ability to tell how much dirt you picked up). This complaint is mostly frivolous as one look at your floors will tell you what a great job the steamer has done!
#6 Machine Washable Microfiber Duster ($6.99)
#7 Roomba ($240)
I initially felt like a bit of a diva buying a robotic vacuum (especially because we lived in a condo at the time...) but in the 2+ years that we have had our Roomba I have never regretted it. We keep ours in the kitchen and set it to get to work every few days at 11 am. I love that you do not have to remember to run it and your floors appear to be *magically* cleaned while you are away at work. We also use a few battery powered "walls" to keep the vacuum from going into areas that do not require frequent cleaning (i.e. our dining room). I have found that the Roomba does a great job without destroying anything we accidentally leave around on the floor. If you are not ready to make this large investment, definitely check out some of the other brands of robot vacuums - there are many with great customer reviews with more affordable price points.
Bonus: Cutting Board Oil ($5.99)
Not only is this oil great for preventing wood cutting boards from drying out, it can be used to make a stainless steel refrigerator look brand new! I just squeeze a few drops onto a paper towel and swipe across the fridge (going with the grain) to easily remove fingerprints, smears, smudges, and drips in no time at all. If it gets too oily, just wipe over once more with the clean part of the paper towel to remove the excess.
And there you have it - the 7 cleaning products that I will never ever give up (for the foreseeable future, at least). Pretty please let me know if there are any products or gadgets that you rely on that I should add to my collection. Happy cleaning!
