Better than its predecessors, this vacuum offers suction power that automatically adjusts based on floor type, so you no longer have to switch back and forth manually. This also means that battery life is extended. The new LCD screen faces the user and indicates the remaining battery life, not just in bars as with previous models, but down to the second. Your floors and area rugs are about to be cleaner than they’ve ever been before.

This free-moving window cleaner cleans your glass using a four-stage process that squeegees and wipes in every direction. It easily identifies your window’s size and shape to create the proper path for optimal cleaning. Choose the automatic cleaning pattern or the deep cleaning mode, which goes back over the same areas more than once.
Branch Basics Concentrate
There are a lot of chemical-based cleaning products out there, and thankfully many manufacturers have taken steps to become more eco-friendly. The newest kid on the block is Branch Basics. The brand uses a plant-based, non-toxic and clinically tested concentrate that can be diluted for various uses in one of their easy-to-refill bottles (laundry, foam hand wash, glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner and bathroom cleaner). The more than 500 five-star online reviews prove the concept works! The best part? One bottle of the concentrate ($49) can be used to make 20+ formulas for upwards of $100 in savings. Talk about a spring cleaning steal! The Starter Kit + Oxygen Boost package will get you off to a great start.
Microfiber Duster
An allergen-free home should be one of your goals when spring cleaning, especially if you have asthma sufferers in the house. Reach for the stars (or at least for the top shelf of your closet) with this nifty microfiber duster. It features the latest split fiber technology to quickly grab dirt and the head is bendable up to 90 degrees.

This 12-pack of cleaning cloths uses bamboo fiber to creplace messy feather dusters, disposable dusting sheets and plastic-derived microfiber towels. From cleaning mirrors to cleaning out cabinets, drying, wiping and drying dishes, these 12 -inch x 12-inch bamboo cloths will pick up all the water, dust, hair and more without leaving behind lint or streaks.

“Cleaning up just got easier” according to Black + Decker. Their brand new 3-in-1 cordless stick vacuum has 65 percent more suction than before, and offers more than 30 minutes of run time.

The original Shark Steam Pocket Mop made a breeze of steam cleaning. Now Shark has introduced their smartest innovation yet.

The “intelli-mop” head features a touch-free pad with attach-and-release technology, so you never have to touch a dirty cleaning pad again! The steam blaster feature attacks tough, greasy stuck-on messes. The three levels of intelligent steam control work to easily dust, mop and scrub.
Molekule Air Purifier
When it comes to spring cleaning, you’ll need more than all-purpose cleaning sprays and a vacuum cleaner. To get the air in your home really clean, consider this new high-tech air purifier that will help get rid of the dust and bacteria that may have built up during the winter. Molekule uses a new process called PECO that rids the air of pollutants at the molecular level. This means allergens, mold, bacteria, viruses and chemicals aren’t just trapped in a filter, but totally removed from your household air. It can trap VOCs and viruses that are 1000x smaller than anything a HEPA filter can trap. How cool is that?! Want to shop around for an air purifier? Try other options like the Dyson air purifier.

Spring cleaning means tackling projects you leave behind on a regular basis. One of those is the daunting task of cleaning your blinds! This blinds duster, made of high-quality polyethylene, is sturdy and is sure to cut down on your dusting time. The cleaner includes five microfiber cloths that pick up dust swiftly and easily. The design can clean tops and bottoms of two blinds at the same time.

Magic Eraser
Magic Eraser’s are great at getting into tiny cracks and crevices and nooks and crannies and all those hard to reach places like around the blade of a can opener. Since this product is basically super fine sand paper, it can delve into those areas or clean built-up grime in a jiffy. But because it’s basically sandpaper, it can easily cut through finishes on wood surfaces and trim—so be mindful while you’re erasing!

Bissel Pet Stain & Odor Remover
Removing pet stains isn’t always a pleasant task but Bissel’s Pet Stain & Odor remover makes it easier.

These are a best seller on Amazon because of the job they do on stainless steel appliances, which can become gross-looking with fingerprints all over.

Foldable Storage Cubes
Foldable Storage Cubes like these are super trendy and for good reason. They can provide excellent storage while blending into whatever room you place them, thus clearing some clutter.
Clutter corralling trays
Everyone needs a place to drop stuff—even professional organizers. Place everyday things, like car keys, on a tray to keep them from getting misplaced. Opt for trays with sides like this one from Jack Cube, so items won’t roll off and get lost.
Ongoing donation bin
Organizers always have a donation bin set up and ready to fill with items to give away. A container like this tall and narrow pop-up tucks easily into a convenient spot like a hall closet. When the bin is full, you know it is time to schedule a pick-up or plan a drop-off.
Oversized trash can
Professional organizers don’t let rubbish build up; they’re always tossing out the trash. Therefore, an oversized trash can like this Umbra Pewter Venti is a must. The swing top lid lets you drop waste in without ever touching the can. And a secure garbage bag fastener means no more bags slipping to the bottom and making a mess.
A basic timer
Instead of leaving tasks open-ended, professional organizers set time limits to help motivate themselves to begin and finish projects. A portable timer, with a large display, like this Polder Mini Digital Timer, is just the thing to help you get through a long to-do list. Set the timer for a short window, like 10 minutes, then see how far you can get before the buzzer sounds.
To-do lists
Everyone, including professional organizers, gets a deep sense of satisfaction from crossing completed tasks off their to-do list. Grouping tasks on this Weekly Task Pad lets you see your week at a glance, so you know what needs to get done.
A place for thoughts
Try to avoid scribbling on random scraps of paper. For quick notes, do what professional organizers do: Use a dry erase board like this U-Brands Contempo White Frame Dry Erase Board. Hung in a convenient location, this board is the best place to list the menu for the week, write a phone number, or jot down a reminder.
Neaten up the shower
Bottles and bars of soap resting in shower corners are a no-no for professional organizers. We prefer things up and out-of-the-way in easy to reach shower storage, so this Zenna Shower Caddy fits the bill. The two shelf caddy hangs from the shower head with enough space to store shower essentials.
Cleaning caddies
Caddies are a Professional Organizer’s best friend! Toting everything you need to get the job done means fewer wasted steps backtracking to grab something you forgot. This cleaning caddy include all the space to store essentials like sanitizing sprays, a broom and dustpan set, and more to get you started.
A tidy trunk
Things don’t roll around loose in the trunk of the car when a professional organizer is at the wheel. Everything, from umbrellas to bags of groceries, has a home in these collapsible crates with handles. To make space for larger cargo, you can easily fold the crates down. And they have comfortable handles, so you can to carry them.
Under sink storage
Always make the most of that awkward space under the kitchen or bathroom sink by inserting an adjustable organizer like this Expandable Under-Sink Organizer. Professionals use one with shelves and pull-out bins, so stuff isn’t shoved into a cavernous hole. Plus, it’s adjustable to fit around plumbing; the best part is the no-tools assembly.
Double the hanging space
Don’t settle for the basic closet configuration of a single rod: The quickest and easiest way to double space in your closet is to simply hook a Lynk Double Hang Closet Rod over the existing closet rod, and in seconds, you have more hanging room.
Versatile cubes
Storage is key in every room of the house. Professional organizers prefer flexible storage that can change as your needs change. These White 4-Cube Cubby Shelving work in almost every room of your home and can store everything imaginable. Use the cubes in the entryway for shoes, the hall closet for seasonal items, the clothes closet for stacked sweaters, the pantry for bulk goods, the garage for car-care items, the craft room for tools, the office for paper storage, the dining room as a sideboard, or the living room for blankets and television remotes.
Outdoor activity storage
Your outdoor and sporting equipment comes with some of the most awkward and oddly shaped items—bike helmets, tennis rackets, soccer balls—that need to be stored. Professionals love divided sections like this a heavy-duty triple storage bin. Plus, these metal grids allow damp equipment like bike helmets to dry.
Loads of laundry
Wasting time sorting dirty laundry is something professional organizers try to avoid. Put dirty items in the right bin the first time using a 3-bin rolling laundry sorter to separate types of laundry. The lift out bags can easily be taken to the dry cleaners or the laundromat. And the fact that the sorter is on wheels makes it easy to roll it up to the washing machine and keep your laundry room organized.
Paperwork system
Paperwork is always an issue, even for the most diligent professional organizer. Solving paperwork organization problems has never been easier than with these open-top file boxes. Add a few hanging file folders, and you have the perfect place to file bills-to-be-paid, receipts, and so much more. The open-box feature means the file labels are easily readable, so you won’t forget where you put that paper.
Labels are a must
Professional organizers will label anything that will stand still. Labels serve a double purpose: You know where to find things and you know where to put them back. But no one wants a gummy mess left over after the label is removed—this Post-it Label Roll solves that issue. The labels attach securely and remove cleanly from surfaces like plastic storage bins.
Contain plastic bags
Plastic grocery store bags are handy, although storing a bunch of plastic bags inside another bag can get messy. Professional organizers corral their bags in a dispenser like this Simplehuman stainless steel grocery bag holder. Insert bags through the large opening on top and pull them out, as needed, from the slot on the bottom.
Replacement battery storage
Finding the correct size replacement battery has never been easier than with the this battery organizer. This storage container lets you neatly store all size batteries in a box with a hinged lid. No more searching for a spare battery they will all be sorted and stored safely upright.
Drawer dividers
Finding a place for everything and everything in its place is a breeze with these adjustable bamboo drawer dividers. Forget about jumbled drawers; these customizable dividers let you create a spot for all the stuff you want to store in your drawers. Organize your kitchen, bedroom or anywhere.
Small stuff storage
Small parts storage bins are the best way professional organizers know how to contain all the little pieces and parts that would otherwise get misplaced. From picture hanging hooks and screws to craft pieces and jewelry, these little bins let you keep all the little stuff from getting lost.
Divided storage
Efficient storage, like this adjustable divider, is an organizer’s dream. No more un-stacking then re-stacking a tower of trays. This divider creates multiple vertical slots in your kitchen cabinet to store cake pans, baking sheets, muffin tins, cutting boards, serving trays, and more.
Polish with a Microfiber Cloth
Microfiber cloths excel at putting the finishing touches on mirrors, countertops, and even tile and fixtures. After cleaning surfaces with your favorite cleaning solution and drying them off with a terry cloth rag or a separate microfiber cloth, polish them to a mirror finish with a dry microfiber cloth.
Microfiber cloths are perfect for this because they pick up dust, wipe off smudges and don’t shed any fibers. You’ll find microfiber cloths wherever cleaning supplies are sold and they’ll help you know how to clean your bathroom better. You can also buy them in bulk at wholesale clubs and use them throughout your house for all kinds of other cleaning chores. They’re one of the best home cleaning products you can get.
