Cleaning Accessories

Written by Karen Bates (last updated April 5, 2021)

Household cleaning can be a constant, everyday task for many people. With so many things to keep in order, it can be important to organize your cleaning schedule in order to get everything that you need to done.

To effectively accomplish all of your cleaning tasks, it can really help to have the right tools on hand to assist you. Along with some of your basic cleaning tools, you will also need cleaning accessories to make your chores easier to accomplish. The most important aspect of this is to know which accessories can help you and to keep these available for when you need to clean.

For each area of your home, you should have cleaning supplies at the ready so that you can complete cleaning jobs in a quick but organized fashion. Gathering all the cleaning tools and accessories that you will need to clean a specific part of the house beforehand will allow you to do the best job possible in the shortest amount of time.

For the various chores around your home, keep these cleaning accessories available for you to use:

  • For cleaning tools with disposable parts (such as certain kinds of mop heads or brushes), keep a supply of replacements on hand. It can be quite inconvenient to realize that you have run out of replacements in the middle of a cleaning project.
  • An extra spray bottle can be a great cleaning aide. Use a spray bottle to store homemade cleaning solutions or other cleaning liquids.
  • Scrub brushes, rags, and sponges are important to keep available to help you apply surface cleaners and scrub away dirty build-up.
  • A good dustpan makes it easy for you to pick up the dirt and debris from a swept floor.
  • Using a micro fiber cloth can gently clean surfaces and remove dust.
  • Are your cleaning tools and accessories disorganized? Get things in order with helpful containers and caddies for your cleaning items, and you won't have to worry about losing them again.
  • Disinfecting wipes are a very convenient way to clean. Although these wipes can be costly compared to other cleaning methods, they are a very useful accessory to have on hand to help with quick clean-ups.

When a cleaning job needs to be done, check your cleaning supplies to ensure that you have the proper tools and accessories to help you get the task done right.
