Residential Cleaning Tools Every Home Must Have

Essential Cleaning Tools

Whether you are just getting started in a new home or just want to upgrade your residential cleaning kit, below is a list of the most essential cleaning tools that no home should be without.

A Quality Sponge

There is a wide variety of sponges available today, and it would be useful to have a classic sponge around. Especially when it comes with an abrasive side that can tackle any grimy, dirty surface; however, if you want to explore an alternative, try out sponge cloths that bridge the gap between a sponge and a towel.

Microfiber Cloths

Similar to white towels, buying a few of these to keep handy will increase your cleaning power. Microfiber can get surfaces clean on their own or with a little water, and will not scratch or leave streaks behind, which makes them great when cleaning windows.

A Squeegee

These tools are must-haves when it comes to keeping showers free from the likes of mold and mildew. They will work on windows if that’s a part of your cleaning regime. To get the most out of yours, make sure to protect the blade from damage when you use and store it. If your squeegee is leaving streaks behind or failing to perform as well as it used to, you know it’s time to replace the blade.

A Scrub Brush

A sponge or cloth will not always do the job, so keeping an all-purpose scrub brush handy to use on tile, tough stains, and tubs is a must. You can even use an old dish brush that you no longer use or simply purchase a heavy-duty cleaning scrubber.

A Bucket

A nice-sized bucket can work more than just stow your cleaning supplies, as it can be used to mop and a myriad of other household chores, making it an essential item for sure.
