10 Home Cleaning Products You Need for Spring Cleaning
Did you know that the spring-cleaning tradition can be traced as far back as 3,000 years ago to Persia? The tradition was called “khaneh tekani,” which translates to “shaking the house.” Ancient Persians believed that removing clutter and an annual deep cleaning would thwart bad luck.
Most Americans don’t necessarily have superstitions regarding spring cleaning — it’s simply the time of year when they can open the windows, let the fresh air in and tackle those deep-cleaning tasks that have been neglected throughout the year. Before you get down and dirty and dive into spring-cleaning mode, here are 10 must-have cleaning products and gadgets that you need to make this time of year easier.
#1: Telescopic Tub and Wall Scrubber
When cleaning tile, grout and walls in your home, a telescopic tub and wall scrubber is a must-have. This handy cleaning tool helps you reach high spaces, eliminating bending and straining. It extends from 24” long to 36”, so no surface will be left uncleaned. Just add your favorite cleaning product, and you’ll be good to go.
#2: Telescoping Ceiling Fan Duster by LivingSURE™
Ceiling fans can get dusty fast, so it’s important to clean them regularly. However, this chore is notoriously difficult and can result in dust particles landing everywhere. A good tool that will help take the headache out of cleaning your ceiling fan is LivingSURE™’s telescoping ceiling fan duster. The microfiber cloth traps that loose dust and the telescopic handle adjusts from 28 ½” long to 47 ¾” long, allowing you to clean those high surfaces without less effort.

Shower tiles, baseboards, sinks: There’s no area in your home that should be left untouched during this spring-cleaning season. For a lot of clean with a little bit of effort, our extendable cordless electric spin scrubber is a household cleaning essential. This cordless gem has a handle that extends to approximately 40” long, and it comes with three easy-to-change electric scrubbing brush heads to accommodate your cleaning goals.

#6: Long-Handle Window Cleaner
Snow, sea spray, dirt and grime can insidiously creep up on your windows. However, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as crystal-clean windows. Window cleaning might just be at the top of everyone’s most-disliked cleaning task, however, especially when there are second-story windows involved. Our long-handle window cleaner takes the pain out of this chore. It reaches up to 10 feet and features an 8 ½”-wide cleaning hand with a foam scrubber on one side. On the other side is a rubber squeegee that minimizes streaks. Ingenious!
