Dreading spring cleaning? These 10 products will make it easier, starting at $7

Actually...before you open the windows, take a sec to inspect those blinds. If they're not looking their best, check this popular blind-cleaning gizmo. It's been pretty darn helpful in my home. Simply spray some cleaner onto the reusable microfiber cloth and swipe to clean two blind slats at once. It includes five machine-washable sleeves that you can switch out as you go. A grateful professional housekeeper raved: "Finally! A product that works on all types of blinds!...The microfiber is the key to getting all the dust, and the design of the product makes it super easy! PLUS this tool can be used on different types of blinds because it is flexible! I have used it on wooden shutters, plastic vertical patio door blinds, and horizontal metal mini blinds...This product deserves 10 stars!"

Now that you've whipped your blinds into shape, how about those windows? To get them squeaky clean, here's an easy, cheap hack. I use 16 oz refillable amber bottles for my DIY concoctions. These are the perfect size, they've got UV protection so your creations won't turn on you, and they won't hang on to old scents if you decide to switch it up. No wonder they have 26,000 five-star ratings (and counting)! "Just what I wanted!" writes a fan. "The sprayer works very well with two spray options, stream and mist, and two off positions for ease of use. The straw is long and slightly curved so it more than reaches the bottom to get every last drop of my homemade cleaners. I also love the caps for the bottles, which offer a nice tight fit for no-leak transport and storage!"

I shed! So do my husband, my kid and my dog. The Tub Shroom drain hair catcher makes bathroom cleaning easier by catching hair before it clogs the drains. This thing has over 87,000 perfect ratings. One five-star reviewer raved: Best hair trap I've ever used, and I've used virtually every style... The genius is that the hair and scum get wrapped around the tubular part that sits — invisibly — down inside the drain... I love that it's soft and doesn't hurt toes if stepped on or kicked."

After the final frost, I love squeezing down our down comforters, blankets, sweaters, puffy coats and the like in SpaceSaver vacuum storage bags. This simple act adds so much space! "I have been doing some spring cleaning and these bags are awesome!" shared a happy user. "All of my winter clothes are in these bags which leaves a lot of room in my closet. I will use the medium bags for traveling, thanks to the hand pump!" This variety pack includes two medium, two large and two jumbo size bags for just $20.

When I need motivation, it helps to have my eager sidekick: the Eufy RoboVac 11S. This little robot pal is smart enough to know where not to go (down the steps), and it returns to its charger on command (via app or remote). It gets under every chair and into every corner, while also collecting quite a lot of dirt and pet hair in its large 0.6 liter dustbin without asking me to empty it too often. One of its over-8,000 five-star fans adds: "This vacuum is fantastic. I have 2 dogs that shed a LOT and it picks up dog hair really well. It is relatively quiet. It does a great job getting into corners and under beds. It also does a great job of mapping out the floor plan and after a few uses follows a very efficient pattern around the house. It has no problem maneuvering around furniture or adjusting to my flooring and throw rugs. It’s great for daily cleaning."

I love to dance. Anything that lets me moonwalk while mopping up paw prints is a must-have. This multicolor four-pair pack of cute, reusable mop slippers gets the whole fam cleaning. (My daughter actually requested these and called dibs on the purple.) The microfiber slip-ons fit over shoes or on bare feet and work as a mop head too. When you're finished, just toss them in the wash. A floored five-star user writes: "You won't believe how dirty your clean floors are!"

The reusable (and eco-friendly!) non-adhesive roller removes pet hair from any surface — and according to Amazon shoppers, it’s well worth the money.

Time to tackle the kitchen! When it comes to scrubbers, I like a workhorse tool that's sustainable too. This adorable, reusable 6-by-5-inch Skoy Scrub (made from remnants from the toweling industry!) outlasts other scrubbers, and it's safe for all sorts of kitchen items — from nonstick pans and cast iron to cooktops and tiles! No need to limit it to the kitchen — shoppers use these on flooring, cars and more. "Appreciating this little scrubber much more than I thought I would," wrote a fan. "It's got the textile advantages of a scrub-brush/sponge with the ability to use it like a scraper. It can more quickly clean a baking pan or sheet than use of the scraper alone, and it seems impervious to grime. It can reach corners better than a brush, and can be used inside of bottles, glasses, etc. It has not scratched any of the surfaces I have used it on so far (enamel, glass, porcelain, nonstick, stainless)... It has not retained smells or odors, unlike a sponge."

The holiday season means big holiday dinners and lots of holiday leftovers to be stored or handed out to home-bound guests. Guess what'll make that task soooo much easier? 

With its cyclonic force and strong suction, this compact and lightweight portable vacuum can tackle just about any mess in your car. The kit includes a filter brush, a carry bag, a spare HEPA filter and three attachments for detailing.
