This time of year, thoughts turn to spring cleaning. It's a daunting task, but there are ways to make it more manageable. One approach is to create a cleaning schedule to focus your efforts in the most efficient ways possible. But even if you're a master strategist, you still need to have the best tools on hand to do the best job. These gadgets will help take your cleaning to the next level.
There are two types of cleaning tools. First, there are the traditional stalwarts — versatile tools that you use for everyday cleaning. These include vacuum cleaners, mops, sponges and other familiar items. Just as important, however, are the specialty gadgets that only perform a limited number of cleaning tasks, but they do them remarkably well. This might be a water bottle brush or a short drain snake that removes clogs from showers and sinks. Ideally, your cleaning kit will have a mix of both types of tools.
