21 cleaning and organizing products our editors love for spring cleaning

For some reason my apartment collects dust like crazy, so owning a vacuum cleaner can literally run for over an hour and requires nothing more than a quick push of a button or command. “hey Alexa”, changed my life. It picked up every single piece of hard-to-reach dust and debris from under the bed or hard-to-reach corners, and was even a master at catching wool STILL falling from my living room carpet.

I have too many clothes and not enough room. To free up some room in my closet, I started putting my clothes in vacuum bags and they made a huge difference. They are great for organizing and storing seasonal clothes. Pro tip: I use smaller ones in my luggage when traveling and it saves a lot of room!

This organizer kit comes with several cable clips, ties, and sleeves – many of which I haven’t even used all of them – to keep the eyes of tangled wires and cords out of sight. . The larger box fits a standard power strip and is roomy enough to hold two coiled laptop chargers inside, plus a phone charger and a few other cords that I keep through the top holes for ease of use. easy access. I use the smaller one to hold power banks, headphones, and other small tech cords.

I am absolutely obsessed with these multi-use fabrics. They’re the perfect tool for cleaning – whether it’s in the kitchen (Swedish dish towels) or in the bathroom, these versatile sheets are a must-have in any home. They can be used wet or dry and are a great alternative to wasted paper towels. After a few uses, throw it in the bin and get a new one. Trust me, you’ll love them.

These eco-friendly paper towels have become my go-to for cleaning every surface in the house. The packaging is 100% plastic-free, recyclable and compostable and each roll comes with 150 sheets. It looks much smaller than regular paper towels but in my experience it is soft and absorbent, and best of all, never leaves any streaks.

The drawers in my kitchen used to look like trash drawers until I bought Target’s new organizer, Brightroom. I scooped up all the different sizes of storage trays to accommodate all my odds and ends. The result is fully organized drawers that make it easy to find whatever you’re looking for. And did I mention that these trays start at under a dollar each?

I have a sizable perfume collection and these acrylic shelves are the solution to giving them a dedicated place to keep them organized and still within reach. I love the simplicity of the shelves, how easy they are to install (they come with screws and wall anchors) and how nearly invisible they look.

Not only is my Dyson vacuum extremely light and easy to operate with one hand, but it works so well that I really want to vacuum. The various attachments make it easy for me to do pretty much all the vacuuming I need to do, but my favorite is the “Laser Detect” attachment that reveals microscopic dust. I have a super dusty apartment, and this laser is really the only way I can find dust in every nook and cranny.

I am a total block packed switch. In fact, I was so obsessed with them that I now use them in addition to my suitcase. I have a dedicated packer that I use to keep things around the house. For example, during the winter, I would put away my summer shorts, shirt, and swimsuit and exchange them for winter clothes when the weather starts to get warmer. It’s a great way to keep your clothes organized – especially if you live in a small space.

Like most people, the cabinets under my kitchen sink are a mess. I was so frustrated trying to find the items that I use most so I got a storage caddy that hung on the cupboard and it solved all my problems.

This spray really does it all. I use it to clean bright white marble counters, wooden TV panels, mirrors around the house, my Breville coffee machine, my dog’s “accidents,” and even the electric stove that I use. previously could not be cleaned. It is formulated with clean and safe ingredients and best of all, smells like spring in a bottle.

I love these affordable little crates from Urban Outfitters, and I use them in my apartment to keep the odds and finish a little more organized. The blue one on my desk holds all of my hand creams and diffusers, and the white one in my kitchen holds the oils and spices. They add a cute pop of color, they’re super easy to assemble, and they can serve a million different uses.

I swear by Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. These can stain and peel off anything. I use them in the kitchen, bathroom, on the wall, and even to clean my shoes. No mess or stains that these can’t deal with.

While this product may seem a bit more expensive at first glance than other cleaning products, the device itself is refillable and all you have to buy in the future is a refillable capsule. . I love that this product is more than a single use, and I’m even a fan of the fact that it really cleans well. This is one of the only products to remove coffee stains from my carpet, plus it disinfects surfaces and doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals.

The Swiffer wet sprayer is my go-to when I need to clean the floors of my apartment. I swear because it literally picks up absolutely everything and leaves my floors looking clean and shiny.

I’m prone to food drops and Grandma’s Secret Stain Remover is my holy grail. Don’t let the cheap price fool you, this one really is the best. A little spray will make any stains go away. It also works incredibly well on makeup stains.

My bathroom cabinets were a disaster before I bought these truly game-changing stackable drawers from Amazon. They’ve helped me maximize the space underneath my bathroom sink, and they’re deceivingly spacious, so I can categorize and store each of my makeup products – and not to mention actually finding them now. Who is Marie Kondo?

When my husband and I moved into a new apartment and set up a shared home office, we quickly realized we needed some office organization solutions. This Poppin cabinet is pretty and fun enough to add some style to the space, yet functional enough to make our office feel like a real workplace. We share file cabinets and then use the top drawers for other random office supplies. We both like it.

The Honest Company’s liquid all-purpose cleaner is my go-to for kitchen cleaning. This formula is very versatile and can be used on a multitude of surfaces. It cuts through grease and dirt but is gentle enough on more delicate surfaces. I stopped making bottles of my favorite scents, but the brand recently switched to refillable containers.

I used to hate leaving all my bathroom essentials on the ground and having to constantly step over them to get in and out of the bathroom, so this organizer changed the game. They’re on the wall now, which makes it super easy to get what I need and keeps everything else out. The adhesive is also super durable and won’t come off.

When I was a child, I never understood my mother and grandmother’s obsession with steel wool. Once I had a place for myself, I realized why they were so enamored with them. I almost threw away some of my favorite pots and pans because of how yellow they are but a quick clean with these will make them look like new.
