My favorite cleaning tool is to get the large cloths used for “cuban mops” and cut them into 8 or 10 smaller cloths – they only cost around $2.00 and they last a LOOONNNNNGGGG time!
I recently purchased THE ULTIMATE CLOTH which you dampen to clean windows and mirrors without chemicals. It’s reusuable and suppost to last 5 years, but I haven’t had mine long enough to say if that’s true!
My favorite cleaning tool would have to be rags, lots of them! I can dust, clean the dishes, wipe up counters, or clean the windows. I am really enjoying my new Dust Buster, too. So handy for cleaning up those little messes and for getting the stairs clean.
My favorite cleaning tool is a clean dish cloth and hot warer. Thanks for a helpful blog!!

My favorite cleaning tool is my teenage daughters. Just kidding, I have trained them well. I LOVE microfiber cleaning cloths. I use much less cleaner with these.
My favorite cleaning tool is my vacuum cleaner. I have so much fun watching the carpet get fluffy again and hearing the junk get sucked into the vacuum. Thanks for the awesome give away
My mom bought me this amazing pink rag – it is sewn with silver thread and gets rid of all germs and everything yucky! 🙂 I love it!!! It is seriously awesome!
A good old fashioned rag. It might sound silly but I love having tons or rags on hand. When I’m done I throw them in the washer and that’s it. I don’t have to keep buying items or replacements.
Being disabled, I love anything that makes it easier; long handled swiffer duster, magic erasers, microfiber cloths with Sshaklee products (really does make the scrubbing easier) stick vac, steamer, and the list goes on.
My favorite cleaning tool is procrastination. If things are dirtier to start with, the results are more dramatic! (In all seriousness, though, it’s the Plastis dish brushes from IKEA. They’re 99¢, perfectly shaped, and the best dish brushes I’ve ever used. I’m terrified IKEA will stop making them, and have stockpiled about a dozen just in case.)
My favorite is absolutely my Shaklee Basic H. After finding it I use it all over my house and it’s wonderful NOT to buy all those different harsh chemicals now!
It may sound crazy but, baby wipes are my go to cleaning tool. They are always around, perfect for counter tops and table tops. I use and recommend them for spills on clothing when we are out to eat – they lift greasy stains almost immediately. I even use them to clean the bathroom and my car!

My favorite cleaning tool is my Dyson vacuum. We have pets and it helps to keep hair at bay.
My favorite cleaning tool is the scrubbing bubble gel that you stick on the inside rim. I use it after I scrub down my bathroom and it lasts a week, and smells fresh every time you flush. With 3 kids in my house, that is soooo nice!
My favorite cleaning tool is good old-fashioned water and a washcloth. You wouldn’t believe how it makes my mirrors shine!! I just wet one washcloth with plain water, wipe and then dry with another washcloth. NO streaks and nothing but shining mirrors! I use the same method for washing my windows too. 🙂
Emily Says...
My favorite cleaning product is vinegar. I use it for everything!
Two words…..Magic Eraser. I swear those things are the most versatile cleaning product I own. I clean my tubs, my walls, my kitchen…everything with those babies. I love them!
I just found out who nice and easy squeegees are to use and that has become my favorite cleaning tool! Besides the gloves… MUST wear gloves to keep my hands from completely drying out!
My favorite cleaning tool is my washing machine. I have 2 kids under 2 (that are both in cloth diapers), a husband that gets dirty at work, 3 dogs, and 3 cats. We do a LOT of laundry and there is no way I could manage without the washer:)
