Collection: Cleaning Equipment

What cleaning gear does your home need?

The right cleaning kit depends on your floors and home. Hard floors — tile, timber, vinyl — need a mop and bucket suited to the surface, plus a broom or sweeper for daily crumbs. A dustpan and brush handle spot messes. Bathrooms want scrubbing brushes and a squeegee for the shower. This household cleaning kit also needs cloths, sponges and a caddy to carry supplies room to room. Work through your floor types and the rooms you clean most, and build cleaning supplies that suit them, rather than a cupboard of tools that don't match your surfaces.

Which mop suits your floors?

The mop should match the floor and the mess. A flat microfibre mop is great for everyday cleaning of sealed hard floors, light and quick, with washable pads. A traditional string or sponge mop with a bucket handles bigger spills and heavier grime, holding more water. A spin mop with a wringing bucket controls how wet the mop is, which matters on timber floors that shouldn't get too wet. A steam mop uses heat to clean and sanitise sealed floors without chemicals. Match the mop to your floor — gentle and barely-damp for timber, tougher for tile.

How do you build an efficient cleaning routine?

The right tools make cleaning faster and less of a chore. Keep supplies together in a caddy so you carry everything room to room in one trip. Use microfibre cloths, which grab dust and clean with just water on many surfaces, cutting chemicals. Have separate cloths or colour-code them for bathroom versus kitchen to avoid cross-contamination. A good broom or sweeper for a quick daily pass stops dirt building up so the big cleans are easier. Matching the tools to the job — the right mop, cloths and brushes — turns cleaning from a slog into a quick routine.

Common questions

What cleaning equipment do I need?
A mop and bucket for hard floors, a broom or sweeper for daily crumbs, a dustpan and brush, scrubbing brushes for the bathroom, and cloths and sponges for general cleaning.

Which mop is best for timber floors?
A flat microfibre or spin mop that you can keep barely damp, since timber floors shouldn't get too wet. A spin mop's wringing bucket controls how wet the mop is.

What's a steam mop?
A steam mop uses heat to clean and sanitise sealed hard floors without chemicals, lifting grime with steam. It suits sealed tile and some sealed timber floors.

Why use microfibre cloths?
Microfibre grabs dust and cleans many surfaces with just water, cutting chemical use. Colour-coding cloths for different rooms avoids cross-contamination between bathroom and kitchen.
