tidy

There are so many great cleaning products out there, and there is nothing that you absolutely need, but if you struggle with the upkeep of your home for whatever reason, these gadgets and supplies can help you maintain your house with relative ease.

Robot Vacuum

Now, these are a bit pricey and they aren’t as good as running a full sized vacuum but, running this daily helps maintain your home so you can get away with deep cleaning your floors much less! 

I have one for our main floor and I will typically run this at night when we’re going to bed or first thing in the morning as we’re heading out the door. Then, you get the luxury of waking up in the morning to clean floors, or coming home to clean floors! You can always do both as it makes its way back to the charging station on its own. 

I’m planning to order another one for our upstairs once I decide what we are doing with the flooring.

Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum

I have never enjoyed quick cleanups more. The Dyson V8 truly lives up to the hype. It is quick and effortless with an easy-to-empty canister, easy-to-clean filter, and sleek charging station. 

This is ideal for hardwood and tile floors as I don’t think it works well on carpets, but if you only have a small portion of carpet in your home this should suffice. The Dyson is a much quicker alternative to sweeping. With easy maneuverability it fits into tight spaces and under furniture easily. I also like to use it on our couches for a quicken freshening up. 

Method All-Purpose Cleaners

I use the antibacterial for the kitchen which leaves a nice lemon scent. This is great for cleaning surfaces that have cooking residue and food scraps. I use the lavender scented all-purpose cleaner on almost all other surfaces, including the dining room table, coffee table, desk, and nightstands. 

It is non abrasive and also leaves a pleasant, clean scent. The spray bottle makes tidying up the house much faster and is perfect for the in-between deep-cleanings of your home.

Air Purifier

Air purifiers can be very useful in eliminating excess dust collection in your home. This can allow you to go a day or so longer in between dustings. Particularly if you have pets, these can be extremely helpful in limiting the dander they leave around the house. 

One con to these is you will essentially need one for every room however, prioritizing heavier traffic areas in your home would be the first step. 

Steam Mop

I am in love with having a steam mop. It is effortless compared to a spin mop or regular mop. There’s no filling and dumping a basin, and if you have a Bissel, you can purchase the scented water that leaves behind a fresh smell for your floors.

I love using this in between deep cleans. I wet mop probably once a month and steam mop once or twice a week. They are so easy to use, and you simply toss the cover in the wash and can reuse countless times, therefore it’s eco friendly as well!
