Spring has sprung, and my mad dash begins to clean my house. I don’t know what it is about this time of the year — maybe it’s the fresher air, the birds singing, the flowers blooming. Perhaps it’s just all the pollen I track on my shoes. Whatever the reason, this time of the year always makes me need to deep clean everything, reorganize, restructure, and bring in new where I can. I go room by room, pull everything out, clean all those corners that don’t see the light of day, vacuum up the mountains of pet hair lurking in unworn shoes, and then reorganize my closets and rooms until they feel a little less cluttered and a little cleaner. I’ve been surfing Amazon for the best organizational tools, cleaning supplies, and general additions to my Spring-Cleaning Kit. Organizing is my thing, so there are quite a few organizing must-haves I’m sharing with you all! And some excellent cleaning supplies too.
Keeps Shoes Out of Sight
I don’t love shoes. I know, I know! It’s a shock for many people when someone says they’re not a shoe person, but I’m just not! Despite that, I find myself with quite a few pairs for different occasions, and those pairs have to go somewhere. Preferably somewhere organized and out of sight like this storage box.
Clean Those Bathroom Surfaces
This cleaner and polish busts grime and dirt without any harmful bleach. It’s tough on soap scum and leaves your bathtub and tiles looking shiny and fresh while also keeping your space smelling delicious and bright.
These Bins Will Transform Your Pantry And Fridge
Whose fridge couldn’t use a little help now and then? It’s just so easy for it to get cluttered and messy, so I love these clear organizing bins. They’re a great way to get your fridge for ease of use while still being able to see everything you’ve got.
Grab This Microfibre Dust Mop for Hard to Clean Surfaces
Hardwood floors, tile, and linoleum are more thoroughly cleaned if you sweep first and then dust mop afterward. The dust mop picks up all the stray pet dander, pollen, and dust your broom may not be equipped to handle. Using this post-sweep gives your floors a nice ”finished” look.
Reusable Bags Make Going to the Store Easier
Get rid of those stashed plastic grocery bags! Those grocery bags you’ve been hoarding all year can be recycled, and you can get them out from under your sink where they’re just collecting dust and grime. You’ll thank me for it later.
These reusable bags will ensure you never have to start another stash. Plus, they’re much better for the environment!
Clean and Polish
This terrific polishing cleaner was designed specifically for your wooden surfaces, from cabinet doors to tabletops. And it doesn’t just give everything a deep clean; it also keeps all of those surfaces looking beautiful and bright and ready for entertaining.
Create a Craft Corner With This Storage Bag
I don’t have a craft corner, so I don’t know if wrapping paper falls under the purview of the craft corner, but I don’t think there’s a better place to keep it. This bag holds all of your wrapping bits and bobs well-organized, so you can easily find what you need when you’ve got wrapping to do.
Bamboo Dividers Get Drawers Organized
Spring cleaning is an excellent excuse to excavate your cooking utensils from the back of your drawer and give them a good scrub. Get those dust bunnies out, throw away those chopsticks you’ll never use, and then put them back in an organized manner with these dividers.
Rid Your Surfaces of Prints
This stainless steel cleaner and polish leaves those stainless surfaces looking beautiful, clean of germs and dirt, and print-free. It’s the perfect cleaning solution for anyone who’s got tiny kids with dirty, grimy hands.
Keep Your Porcelain Throne Pristine Clean
The toilet is the least glamorous place to clean in the house, but it’s one of the most important! Build-up causes the bowl to change colors, and you don’t want that. Especially not if you’re planning to have anyone over. This kit gives you a plunger and a toilet bowl brush, so you’re covered for any occasion.
Give Your Closet A Face Lift
The closet. No one wants to get into that. It’s always unruly, and honestly, it’s easiest to shunt anything I can’t find a place for right in there and then slam the door closed. But these bins will fix that problem right up; you can easily pack away those homeless items without creating an eyesore.
Easily Clean Up Messes
It would help if you had more dishtowels. I promise! You don’t want to use the same one over and over again repeatedly without washing — that’s a recipe for mildew. So, grow a little collection of them to always have a clean one on hand to clean up messes and wipe down counters.
Care for the Stone
Your granite and stone surfaces in your house and kitchen need some extra help, and this Garden Verbena-scented cleaner and polish will do the trick. It’s powerful, plant-based, and gives a beautiful, streak-free shine that leaves your surfaces looking bright and sparkly.
Mineral Oil Restores and Protects Butcher Blocks
And your cutting boards. And your charcuterie boards. Pretty much any wooden kitchen items that need to be maintained and protected from food and liquids. You want to use it, but you don’t want it to get gross! It keeps those awful bacteria from making a home in the grains of your lovely butcher block.
This Sleek Holder is Perfect for Pod Users
I know I do if you like to display your coffee (I want everyone to know who my first love is), and this pod holder is perfect for you. It’s slick and modern and a great way to keep your pods in an easy-to-grab place without adding clutter to your counters.
Keep Your Good China Safely Stored
It’ll also keep any other flatware safe, too. Some people like to rotate their flatware throughout the year, depending on the season, and these are the perfect tool for those of you into that. It keeps your flatware safe and dust-free to enjoy for years to come.
Tidy Your Cabinets
Cabinets can get messy so quickly, and a great way to start your spring cleaning; pull all of your items out onto the counter and start from the beginning. Use these great organizers to ensure you’re perfectly utilizing every bit of space.
This Pot Holder is Magic
You go to open your cabinet, and pots and pans begin to rain down onto the floor. Your toe is mashed. You’re upset. You yell. Your kids cry. It’s terrible for everyone. This nifty gadget is the solution to mashed toes! It gives you a place to efficiently store pots and pans within your cabinets.
You Can Never Go Wrong With Mason Jars
Mason jars are a great way to store all sorts of things. They’re very on-trend right now, lucky me because I have a ton, and I love the Pinterest style of keeping your sugar or coffee or anything else in them. It de-clutters your counters and looks cute at the same time.
Store Jewelry Safely
Jewelry gets tangled easily and can clutter up your bathroom counters and any other surface in your house. This cabinet is incredible because it hangs over the door, so it doesn’t take up much space, and it’s got room for every kind of jewelry you’ve got.
Safely Store Ornaments
My ornaments are currently taking up a ton of space in my storage closet, haphazardly tossed into random boxes. I had to buy this storage container as soon as I found it because my precious, fragile ornaments deserve a safe place to stay and a place that’s far less cluttered than my current space. I eagerly await its arrival.
Create More Countertop Space
Kitchens come in all shapes and sizes, but tiny kitchens make cooking super challenging. Sometimes you need more counter space, but there’s none. This over-the-sink rack gives you more easily adjustable counter space and even a great drying rack without taking up more counter space.
The Most Effective Chemical-Free Clean
Chemicals are helpful, but they’re not always the best for every household. Some people are allergic, some pets are allergic, and some don’t want chemicals on the floors their babies crawl on. This steam cleaner is a great alternative! You can clean the house’s surfaces without those harsh chemicals and instead with only superheated steam.
Cute Storage for Bits and Bobs
Everyone has that one junk drawer. The drawer collects everything that doesn’t have a place to go. These boxes are a great way to style up that junk drawer and give them a more easily managed place to go. These boxes will keep your junk tucked out of the way.
Professional Grade Cleaning With This Steam Mop
I love a steam mop! It gets your floors cleaned so efficiently and so thoroughly. My steam mop gets up stuff I had thought part of the floor! It turns out it was built-up gunk. Ew. This steam mop is my favorite because it works so well and is easy to use.
Eliminate Pet Stains and Odors
Pets are so wonderful, and we’re so lucky to have them. But boy, do they get stinky quickly. And then they stink up your house, and we can’t have that. Angry Orange is a terrific way to get out that pet odor and keep your home smelling fresh during and after your deep spring cleaning.
Store Kiddos’ Toys in Unicorn-Themed Boxes
Toys are often hard to keep corralled. They seem to, Toy Story-like, take on a life of their own when you’re not around. These boxes are a great way to keep them tucked away so the kids’ rooms, playroom, or even your living room, don’t look like an FAO Schwartz threw up there.
Storage Baskets Are a Stylish Way to Declutter
These baskets are so cute! I’ve got them in my house, and I use them for everything. I use one for mail, so mail doesn’t clutter up my counters, I use one for dog toys, and I use one for belts and hats and such that don’t have a better home. They’re a cute way to keep your house mess-free.
Give Your Feet a Break With This Mat
This mat feels like standing on a cloud. I love having it in my kitchen because it keeps my feet from screaming at me while washing dishes or working on dinners or lunches. It’s a great way to give my feet a rest after a long day, even when there’s more work to be done.
Economical Refill of Angry Orange
Whether this list made you try Angry Orange for the first time, or it’s already a favorite in your household, you should grab this giant refill bottle. It cuts down on the waste you’re creating and saves you money, so you don’t have to continue buying individual bottles.
Wrangle Toys Into This Soft Box
Every kid should have a toy box. It’ll keep toys from spilling out across your kids’ rooms or even your whole house and gives them a nice-looking place to stash them when they’re done playing. And I love this toy box because it’s soft, so there are no sharp corners for little ones to bump against.
Kill Germs In Your Home
We’ve all become far more concerned with keeping ourselves safe from outside germs. A home sanitizer is a terrific way to ensure the outside germs stay outside and you and your family can stay healthier.
The Best Clean and the Best Smell
Mrs. Meyer’s does a tremendous job of getting built-up dust, grime, grit, and general dirt off your everyday surfaces. It makes quick work of sticky spills and mucky messes so you can keep your day moving. And it smells terrific too, which is always a plus!
All in One Kit for Spring Cleaning
Every surface needs specialist cleaning equipment. You don’t want to degrade the wood or wear down specific stone. I love this kit — it has everything you could need for cleaning, no matter what sorts of surfaces you have to clean in your household.
This Air Freshener is a Necessity
Febreeze is a classic. I don’t know anyone that doesn’t have at least one can of the great stuff in their house. It keeps your home smelling fresh and clean and even tropical if you grab a scent like this one! It’s incredible to use if you’ve got pets for a general scent boost between deep cleans.
Wipes Are So Damn Handy
Disinfecting wipes are terrific if you’re in a hurry and just trying to do a quick, easy clean. It’s also a great way to keep your surfaces clean and wiped down if you need to wipe things down over and over and over… I can’t imagine why one might need to do that. Certainly not a pandemic.
Get The Reach You Need to Go High
I hate dusting, but it’s super important for my household because I’m pretty allergic to dust, and we get a lot more of it than most people because of all our wonderful pets. This duster extends so I can reach all of those high, hard-to-reach places. I can keep my space clean and dust-free with ease.
Handle Tough and Hard to Reach Crevices
It can be challenging to get into the nooks and crannies of window sills or sliding glass doors, but ignoring the dust and grime in them can be equally annoying. This kit gives you all the tools you could need to work that crusty mess out and get them spotless!
Your Lint Trap Will Be Spotless
Keeping your lint trap clean and free of buildup is very important. Not only can you damage your dryer if you don’t, but it can, in the worst cases, begin a fire if you’re not careful. This helpful gadget catches the lint and pulls it from the trap, so you don’t have to try it yourself.
Protect Your Manicure
I get manicures every month, and I love it. It’s the only extra thing I ever do, but it’s not a cheap one. Since I’m making a monthly investment in my beauty, I want to keep that investment safe and sound even when doing the dishes, so I adore these long gloves. They protect my nails perfectly.
