Is there a better feeling than when you make your home sparkle? Not the run of the mill maintenance clean. I’m talking deep clean. It takes courage to tackle, but it feels so good once it’s done. I admit I spend far more time watching before and after cleaning videos and learning about cleaning hacks than I do actually scrubbing myself. But I want to change that. I have a few cleaning supplies and my favourite tools that I use for my very basic chores. However, I’m far from equipped to attack some particularly problematic areas. Thankfully, it turns out that most cleaning products are pretty cheap. Even eco-friendly all-purpose cleaner and a microfiber floor mop. The cheapest of all is the famous scrub daddy. If you’ve never tried it, you need to get one ASAP. It will change your life. Find it on my list, along with 37 household items that will make your home sparkle like it never has before.
Give Your Floor a Refresh
This lightweight and ergonomic floor mop comes with reusable handy microfiber mop heads so there’s less waste in comparison to other similar mops.

Be Fully Stocked with Reusable Mop Pads
These reusable mop pads pair with most mop models on the market to help you clean your floors without creating waste. The pads are extra thick for extra absorption and can be used dry or wet. Each pad is good for up to 100 uses. Simply pop it in the wash once you’re done and you’re good to go!
