Spring is finally here and hot summer days are on their way: What are you doing? Binge-watching movies? Catching up on your reading? Spring cleaning? Hey, don’t scoff at the latter — because we know three out of four of you are doing just that. And for those who have yet to start, we have just the supplies you’ll need for a deep clean.
According to a Statista report, 80 percent of respondents said they partake in spring cleaning every year. Nothing beats that satisfying, accomplished feeling you get after you’ve spent an hour on your hands and knees scrubbing the grout clean, wiped down every neglected nook and cranny of your home, and finally cleaned your washer. It’s honestly one of the most incredible feelings, and it always feels great to wash away the winter gray and give the house some spring sparkle.
No one said a deep spring clean was always fun (unless you’re like us and find cleaning to be therapeutic), but it doesn’t mean it has to be difficult. That’s where these spring deep cleaning supplies come in. From basic, essential tools to solutions and sprays that basically do the job for you, stock up on the following products before you get started.

GorFanty Steam Mop
Image Credit: GorFanty. We recently got a steam cleaner mop, and it’s been a life-saver for cleaning all sorts of random things around the house, like window tracks, the spot where the baseboards meet the floor, and our window screens. They’re also great for melting away grease in the kitchen, cleaning sticky spots out of the refrigerator, and tackling nasty messes on the floor. This model comes with a variety of attachments, including a mop head, an upholstery wand, a few different scrub brushheads, and even a clothing steamer.

Spray, let sit, then scrub and wipe. Just make sure to follow it up with some brush-on grout sealer, to help your grout stay clean.

BLACK+DECKER Dustbuster Cordless Handheld Vacuum
Image Credit: BLACK+DECKER. We have a regular vacuum, but adding this cordless handheld vacuum to our arsenal of cleaning products made a big difference in how we keep our home tidy. This lightweight hand vac makes vacuuming corners, stairs, cars, and small spaces easy. We’ve used ours for everything from vacuuming our kitchen cupboards before wiping down the interiors to sucking up a mound of grated parmesan cheese from the couch cushions before it could leave a stain or smell (note to other parents: don’t let your 4 year old bring a canister of grated parm into the living room, no matter how much they try to negotiate).
