Spring Cleaning Checklist & Best Products to Get the Job Done Fast

Spring cleaning: you either love it or you avoid it until dust bunnies stage a full-blown takeover. There’s no in-between.

But here’s the thing—cleaning doesn’t have to be a never-ending, soul-sucking chore (promise!). The trick? Having the right tools. Because scrubbing the shower with a worn-out sponge and chasing crumbs with a half-broken vacuum is a one-way ticket to frustration.

Instead, let’s stock up on cleaning MVPs—the kind that make you wonder, Where has this been all my life? From a vacuum that actually picks up pet hair (shocking, I know) to a genius tool that cleans baseboards without making you crawl on the floor, this list has everything you need to get your home sparkling without losing your sanity.

Grab your coffee (or something stronger), throw on your favorite playlist, and let’s do this!

1. Cordless Vacuum

Who has time to wrestle with a heavy vacuum and cords? No-one!

This lightweight, cordless Dyson makes deep cleaning a breeze—from pet hair in carpets to crumbs under the cabinets.

Plus, it converts into a handheld vacuum for stairs, upholstery, and even your car.

With two suction modes and up to 40 minutes of run time, it's perfect for quick cleanups or deep cleaning sessions.

2. Microfiber Cloths & Sponges

Ditch the paper towels! If you haven’t cleaned with a Scrub Daddy yet, you’re missing out.

These smiley-faced scrubbers change texture based on water temperature—soft in warm water, firm in cold—so they’re gentle on delicate surfaces and tough on grime. Plus, the high-quality microfiber cloths trap dust, grease, and grime without streaks

This kit has a caddy, microfiber cloths, and CIF cream cleaner to tackle sinks, countertops, and appliances.
