This mop is incredibly well-designed - first of all, the deep-cleaning microfiber removes 99% of dirt and bacteria with just water, so you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals in your environment. The included bucket has a foot pedal for easy wringing and a splash guard for easy cleaning, and the mop head is triangular-shaped for getting into every nook and cranny.

Spraying and wiping down counters, cabinets, and stovetops is a definite chore, but it's one that must be done unless you like living in a pigsty. You can make it so much nicer by using delicious smelling cleaners like Mrs. Meyer's Lemongrass Cleaning Spray. It'll make cleaning up more like an aromatherapy experience!

Since quarantine, that pretty much counts as entertainment around here.

These Magic Erasers Are Worth Their Weight In Gold

via: Amazon

If you've got kids around the house (and even if you don't), these are going to come in handy. I use a magic eraser at least weekly to remove dirty handprints from walls, cabinets, and other places where they shouldn't be, but it can handle much bigger messes than that. It'll remove crayon from walls, grease from your stovetop, and much more.

You might be thinking, "I have to clean my washing machine? Doesn't it clean itself every time I run it?" - the answer is yes, you do need to clean it to remove stinky build-up and musty smells.

It works great to freshen things up, and it's super easy to use - pop it in and run a hot or sanitation cycle!

This Cleaning Caddy Is A Must

via: Amazon

One of the most useful tools in my cleaning arsenal is this bucket that stores my sprays, microfiber cloths, bleach wipes, and scrubber brushes. It keeps all the essentials together, but the best part is I can tote it from room to room easily, bringing all my cleaning stuff with me instead of schlepping it a few products at a time. It's plenty big enough to carry what you need for any size clean-up job, but easy to store in a closet or under the sink.

This Windshield Cleaner Is Super Effective

via: Amazon

My windshield is all smeared from where I've tried to wipe off dust or condensation with my sleeve, making it hard to see where I'm going and therefore super dangerous.

Streamline your cleaning with these scrubber gloves that do it for you.

The durable silicone couldn't be easier to clean. Just rinse, and you're done!

This Tub O' Towels Does It All

I was introduced to these Tub O' Towels cleaning wipes by a contractor who was redoing our kitchen. They're super heavy-duty so that you can use them on tough jobs, and they won't tear, but they're gentle enough to use with your bare hands. They easily removed all the paint from my hands when doing house projects, and they're great for greasy messes, too!

This Window Cleaning Brush Gets Every Bit Of Dirt

I seriously hate cleaning window tracks. But this window cleaning brush promises to make it a lot easier thanks to its double-ended design that gets all the gunk out. The brush sweeps away dirt while the scraper dislodges dirt from tight spaces, so you'll get a deep clean every time.

This Toilet Brush Is Thoughtfully Designed

via: Amazon

Ah, toilet cleaning, my most hated chore! But this toilet brush makes it a little less painful, thanks to its thoughtful design. The bottom is vented, so it doesn't sit in a puddle of toilet water instead of drying, and the silicone bristles won't hold gunk as the nylon ones do. Anything that makes this job a little less disgusting is a win in my book.

This Angry Mama Really Cleans Your Microwave

via: Amazon

Why do I feel like this Angry Mama microwave cleaner resembles me on cleaning day? She may be grumpy, but she sure does deep clean your microwave!

So annoying, but then I found these electronic cleaning wipes that do a great job of getting all the dust and debris off screens. They're safe for TV screens, smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras, and more, and come with their own microfiber cloth for drying off after the wipe.

This Shadazzle Cleaner Is More Than Just A Fun Name

And it's all-natural, with ingredients like clay, vegetal oil, and vegetal glycerin.

For most of us, under our kitchen and bathroom sinks is a jumbled mess of cleaning products and other odds and ends, but it doesn't have to be that way. This under sink organizer expands to fit your space and has three shelves to hold all manner of things you need to be stored. Use it in the kitchen to hold pots, pans, and cleaning supplies, or in the bathroom for beauty supplies, towels, and bath products. Your cabinets will radiate so much less chaotic energy!

This Broom Holder Organizes Your Cleaning Tools Beautifully

via: Amazon

We have this broom organizer in our basement stairwell, and it's one of my favorite storage solutions. It holds a ton of tools, from brooms to mops to dusting brushes, and takes up virtually no room since it's flat against the wall. I'd love another one for the garage to hold rakes, shovels, and other garden tools that are currently strewn about!

These Storage Baskets Are So Chic

via: Amazon

I've always wanted my pantry to look as perfect as an Instagram influencer's, and these storage baskets are a small step I can take towards getting a drool-worthy final product. I love them for storing my kids' snacks so they can grab and go, plus it makes packing their school lunches a lot easier when I can instantly see what we've got in stock. You'll get a set of two narrow baskets that are stackable to save space if you've got a small pantry like I do (ok, it's really a closet but still holds food!)

These Storage Containers Keep Food Super Fresh

via: Amazon

I like to see exactly what I've got in stock when I look through the various pasta, rice, dried beans, etc., that I've got squirreled away in case I forget something that expired seven years ago stuffed in the back of the shelf. These airtight food storage containers do a fabulous job at keeping food fresh and visible and even come with their own chalkboard adhesive labels, so you know exactly what's in the jar.

This Lid Storage Will Makeover Your Cabinets

The cabinet where I store my food containers is an unholy mess 99% of the time, and no matter how carefully I organize the containers and lids, they all end up jumbled together in the end. No more - I got this lid organizer to keep things straight, and it's doing a bang-up job at keeping things in order. It has five adjustable dividers so that you can customize the storage to your needs!

This Storage Cart Is Magic

via: Amazon

We have this exact storage cart that we use to store all the kids' art supplies, and it has made a world of difference. Before we bought it, crayons, markers, and construction paper were everywhere, but now they're happily contained where kids can find everything they want by themselves when they're feeling crafty. I'd also use this in my bathroom to hold supplies that don't fit in the cabinets, bedroom as a cool bedside table, in the kitchen to hold cookbooks and gadgets, or as a mobile bar cart in any room. See, magic!

This Craft Storage Set Is So Compact

via: Amazon

With all the little doo-dads that go along with crafting for kids or adults, there's a bunch of little things to store that can easily get lost or buried somewhere. I love this craft organizer for holding anything from beads for the kids to sewing supplies for me. It's super helpful to see everything at a glance, so I know when to stock up!

This Pan Organizer Keeps Things Tidy

via: Amazon

I've had one of these pan organizers for years, and it's more than pulled its weight for kitchen storage. Before, my pans and muffin tins were all jumbled in that weird drawer that's under ovens, and I had to move mountains of them every time I wanted the pan that was inevitably on the bottom. This keeps things tidy so you can see and grab what you need at a glance.

These Refrigerator Organizers Are Key

via: Amazon

Before, my condiments, snacks, sodas, and whatnot were floating around the fridge in no particularly organized fashion, which makes it hard to find what you need quickly. These refrigerator organizers make it so much easier to see and grab what you want - there's a place for everything and everything in its place! Plus, now my kids can get what they want without asking me for help with a snack every five minutes since quarantine apparently makes children very hungry (except during actual meals).

via: Amazon

Right now, whenever I want a specific pot or pan, I have to rifle through a bunch of them to get the one I actually want.

It's a best seller for a reason!

These Reusable Storage Bags Are Eco-Friendly And Cute

I got my husband this set of reusable storage bags for his daily PB&J sammy at work, but they also come with smaller snack-sized bags for the kids' lunches and gallon-sized bags for big-batch cooking and freezer meals. It's easy to be eco-friendly and organized with this set that generates so much less plastic waste.

These Drawer Organizers Make A Huge Difference

My underwear drawer is a jumbled mess, and my sock drawer is even worse. So when I saw these handy drawer organizers, I immediately snapped up the set, and now my things are always in order and easy to find in a hurry. This set includes organizers for lingerie, undergarments, socks, and more that fit easily in your drawers for a custom organizing experience on the cheap!

This Kitchen Drawer Organizer Expands To Fit

via: Amazon

If you don't have a kitchen drawer organizer, I'd suggest you remedy that since you need a place to store flatware and various kitchen tools. We've got one that holds just the silverware and another to keep the "junk" drawer semi-organized. I like this one since it expands to fit your drawer space.

This Storage Bag Is Great For Off-Season Stuff

via: Amazon

In the summertime, we need a place to store bulky comforters, sweaters, and the like to keep them safe from moths and dust. We've been using plastic tubs, but those take up a ton of room. These fabric storage bags are a much better idea - they're soft-sided, so they can squish into closets or under the bed and are much easier to store, plus they're moisture-proof and dust-resistant!

This Cutting Board Organizer Fits Right Over The Cabinet Door

via: Amazon

Think you don't have space to store unwieldy cutting boards? Think again - this cutting board organizer fits right over your cabinet door to take advantage of unused space!
