When we built our home, we asked the builder if we could LVP our ENTIRE house. That’s a lot of hard flooring to take care of and a mop and bucket was out of the question — so, we got THIS! A two-in-one mop and vacuum! It keeps our floor extremely cle...

This vacuum looks sleek and performs extremely well. It has a HEPA filter to make sure that dust, dander and other icky allergens don't get thrown back out into the air. It handles large debris (like cereal and goldfish) along with smaller debris eff...

I didn't think I needed it until I got it and it made scrubbing SO much easier. I picked this one for the light-feature and I'm so happy I did. I don't know why but the illumination makes cleaning so much more fun and allows me to spot grime easily, ...

I LOVE this for doing walls and floors when they need a good ole’ fashioned scrub down! I like that the clean and dirty water are separate and the mop heads are machine washable.

I love this toilet brush! It’s easy to clean and lasts so much longer than traditional brushes. It scrubs well, the silicone is firm but not hard so scrubbing toilets is easy. I keep the holder right in my bath caddy for easy transport.

The best part of these are they are WASHABLE. I have a VERY high stairway light and cold air return vent so the extending pole is amazing for reaching places I normally couldn’t. The price point was perfect and you get a lot of different duster style...

Scrubbies & Cleaning Towels

The only scrubbies I’ll use — I always have a stock pile for when I need to grab a new one 🧽 A dedicated set of 100% cotton cleaning towels are also a must in my house.

They are soft in warm/hot water and firmer with cold water. Scratch-free, too! I always keep a stockpile for when I need to grab a new one, too! If you don’t already have the Daddy Caddy, get this big pack that includes it!

I can’t touch microfiber without getting the willies so I opt for 100% cotton rags to clean with! These are great and withstand use after use after use.

When sickness strikes my house, I break out the bleach solution! I don’t overuse because it can disrupt your homes microbiome and actually do more harm than good. Not all bacteria is bad bacteria.
