This is a website about hacks, so you know I’m not going to advocate for a cleaning product unless it really gets the job done. Lifehacker has years’ worth of archives explaining how, for the most part, common things like hydrogen peroxide<\/a>, baking soda<\/a>, and vinegar<\/a> get the major cleaning jobs taken care of, and all you need is a rag or a sponge to go with them. Still, there are some more specialized products that are worth having on hand. These are what I use to make cleaning easier and faster. <\/p>\n

Useful cleaning tools you might not have<\/h2>\n

First up, you need a little squeegee. In fact, I think you should have a few. The first one should be stored in your shower and, after you finish washing up, you should use it to get the fog, scum, and water off your shower doors and walls. Doing this every time you bathe takes just a few seconds, but drastically reduces how much and how often you need to clean the tile and glass in the shower. Get one with an adhesive holder so it dries straight up and down, then stick it to the shower wall. This one is $9.59<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Second, you should keep one in the kitchen. Use it to scrape wet messes off your countertops or to gather spills on your floor. Why waste a bunch of paper towels or dirty up a rag when you could just push the wet mess off the counter and into a container, then put it in the trash? Pick up a two-pack for $13.99<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We aren’t finished with squeegees, actually. You also need a gigantic one for your floor. This will replace your broom and I’m serious. It’s $29.99<\/a> (though you can apply a 30% coupon on Amazon right now) and it solves all the annoying little problems you face with a regular broom. There are no bristles, so hair and dust don’t get caught in anything and there are no gaps for dirt and debris to slip through. To wash it, you just wipe down the silicone. What’s even better is that, unlike a standard broom, you can tackle wet messes with this, dragging all the droplets and rivulets into a more concise puddle that is a lot easier to wipe up. <\/p>\n
