- Cleaning your entire house isn’t as intimidating a process when you have all the right cleaning products for each and every room.
- We found 17 top-rated cleaners, appliances, and tools that people swear by to clean their bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms.
- They include a high-tech robot vacuum, a classic hand duster, and multi-use tools designed to save time, energy, and space.
Even the thought of cleaning tires me out, and I usually have to spend a few hours (ok, more like days) mentally preparing for the chore.
However, I’ve found that once I start cleaning one of the rooms in my apartment, I get into a productive groove that whisks me from bathroom to kitchen to living room to bedroom with montage-like ease.
Having both the mental strength to clean and a proper toolkit of products on hand will help you reach this cleaning groove and get the chore over as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
If you’re equipped with thorough, durable, and easy-to-use cleaners and appliances, you can clean your entire home and barely break a sweat in the process.
What products should you fill your cleaning basket with? We looked to the top-rated ones first to see what everyone else swears by to catch dust bunnies, clear out clogged drains, and make their countertops sparkle as much as when they first moved in.
These 17 cleaning products are all highly rated best sellers you can use throughout your house, from the bathroom to the living room.
Anywhere: Dyson V10 Absolute Cordless Vacuum
Amazon
Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, $526.33, available at Amazon | Also available at: Best Buy, Walmart, and Target
Though $500 can seem like a lot to pay for a vacuum, the V10’s powerful and thorough cleaning capabilities make every dollar worth it. The battery only runs when you push on the trigger and it lasts for up to 60 minutes, letting you clean your whole apartment more efficiently than ever before. It comes with two cleaner heads (one for hardwood floors and one for carpet) and four additional tools so you can reach every inch of any surface.
Anywhere: iRobot Roomba 690 Robot Vacuum
Amazon
iRobot Roomba 690 Robot Vacuum with Wi-Fi/Alexa, $297.49, available at Amazon | Also available at: Best Buy, Target, and Home Depot
If you absolutely hate cleaning, let a robot vacuum do the work for you. While you’re outside of the house, it can make use of all that empty time to clean your house and even automatically return to its docking station to recharge. It senses where there are concentrated areas of dirt and moves around your furniture so you won’t return home to find it jammed in a corner.
The app lets you schedule cleaning sessions anywhere, while Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility integrate it seamlessly into your smart home set up.
Anywhere: Clorox Wipes
Target
Clorox Value Pack Scented Disinfecting Wipes (3-pack, 225-count), $10.59, available at Target | Also available at: Walmart
You’ll see these bleach-free wipes in nearly everyone’s cleaning cabinet because they’re thick and durable, kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria, and come in three fresh scents. They dispense easily out of the canister and dry quickly, plus they’re safe on hard and nonporous surfaces like finished hardwood, sealed granite, and stainless steel.
