18 best cleaning tools and accessories for your home.

WRITTEN BY Grove Collaborative • 22 min read

Some of us clean up a little bit of our homes every single day — well, except holidays, and sometimes even then we're still cleaning. To clean up quicker and make sure your home is sparkling all year round, stock up your house with popular cleaning tools and cleaning supplies to have on hand. Life is so busy with work, family, and friends, plus the everyday routines we carry out, that cutting out time for cleaning can be hard. But having a dedicated cleaning routine will make sure your home is a healthy one, free of nasty things that can build up over time like dirt, dust, and even mold. You may not know it, but ignoring your home’s health and cleaning can cause you to actually get quite sick if dust mites and mold run amok.


Explore our list of the best cleaning tools and accessories for your home below and make a checklist for yourself to use with your new tools when cleaning calls.

FAQs

What basic cleaning accessories should you always have?

Anyone who does the cleaning at their house knows there’s a method to the madness. Basic (and reusable) cleaning tools are a must for tackling everyday cleaning. Here's our quick list (in no particular order) of what we think every home should have for just basic cleaning:



Aside from the cleaning tools listed above, you should also always have multi-surface cleaners or concentrates, bathroom cleaners, kitchen cleaners, room fresheners, paper towels, wood cleaners, glass cleaners, and carpet cleaners on hand to keep your home looking its best. Other good-to-have items are soap dispensers for your bathrooms and your kitchen, a dish brush, kitchen towels, and laundry machine cleaner.


How often should you deep clean your home?

Deep cleaning a home should be done, but people have different opinions when it comes to how often it should be done. Deep cleaning includes things you won’t clean every day like windowsills, light fixtures, cabinets, blinds, ceiling fans, carpets, vent covers, and more. Some argue that two to four times a year is enough, while others strongly believe once a month is needed to keep your home healthy and running smoothly.


No matter how often you decide to deep clean, it’s definitely something you should do to your home. Make sure to have a plan of attack and to stock up on household cleaning supplies for when the time comes. There are many places you don’t normally clean or think about that need some extra TLC. Think of things like inside your oven, your mattress and pillows, door frames, above ceiling beams, and freezers. There’s plenty of places dirt, germs, and bacteria can hide that you don’t clean on a regular basis.


How much time should you spend cleaning your house?

Keeping a home clean is super important, especially if there are a lot of people (or pets) living in your home. Some recommend spending 15 to 30 minutes a day cleaning areas of your home, and that’s not to include household chores like dishes or laundry. Spot cleaning every day makes it easier to keep your home clean and allows more time for deep cleaning later on. You’ll want to stock up on bathroom cleaning tools and kitchen cleaning accessories to make the job easier, too. Having handy cleaning tools and the right cleaners is really half the battle.


If you’re planning to clean your home in one fell swoop, than here’s around how long it’ll take you depending on the size of your home.


  • A one bedroom, one bathroom apartment: 1.5 hours
  • A two bedroom, one bathroom home: 2.5 hours
  • A three bedroom, two bathroom home: three hours
  • A four bedroom, three bathroom home: 4.5 hours
