These 30 Cleaning Tools Will Help You Tackle Every Room in Your Home
Sponges and scrubbers, vacuums and mops — these cleaning tools are what help all of us get our home as clean as can be. And every home needs a set of superstar cleaners to tackle messes, lift dirt, and remove stains. But cultivating a reliable cleaning tool kit takes time, and shopping for the right tools can be overwhelming.
That’s why we took the guesswork out of cleaning and found the products you need to get before your next mess. Introducing Apartment Therapy’s Cleaning Awards — our guide to the very best cleaning tools for your home.
What Is Apartment Therapy’s Cleaning Awards?
After months of testing and research — including vacuuming, scrubbing, and tackling messes big and small! — our team found the best cleaning tools that truly shine and sweep away the competition. The results? Apartment Therapy’s second annual Cleaning Awards, a drilled-down list of 30 cleaning essentials that’ll help you conquer everyday messes.

Our list of winners include products from five core categories that touch on every part of the home: kitchen, bathroom, floors, laundry, and specialty tools. We pinpointed the best vacuums, scrubbers, dust-busters, and powerful cleaners. We even selected a cleaning tool that completely blew us away, so we deemed it the “Game Changer.”
