1. A microfibre hand duster with a slim profile that'll get into those hard-to-reach areas, like under your stove or behind your microwave. The head snaps off so you can toss it in the washing machine when it gets too dusty, so it can be used over and over again.
2. A dish detergent that'll get the food off of the most caked-on casserole dishes, like when you overcooked mom's famous lasagna. Squirt a bit into a sink full of hot water along with the dishes, and the grime will come off easily.
3. A dish squeegee that'll clear leftovers off with one simple swipe, so washing up is even easier. It's made of flexible silicone and also works great for squeegeeing wet countertops and sinks for a super clean look.
4. A soap-dispensing palm brush that'll give you better leverage while scrubbing. It's made of durable nylon bristles that are safe to use on anything you need to wash, so have no fear for your non-stick pots and pans.
5. Or a soap-dispensing dish scrub if you prefer something with a longer handle while scrubbing. It has a built-in scraper that’ll help remove baked-on messes, plus it has a non-slip grip, even when wet.
6. A sink scrub brush, because your dishes can leave your sink looking pretty gnarly once you’ve finished prepping, cooking, and washing up. This brush is made of beech wood and natural bristles that'll have your sink shining so brightly, it'd actually make your mom proud.
7. A foldable dish rack that's perfect for smaller spaces. The plate rack can be folded down for larger items like colanders, and it has a spout for draining, so it doesn't drip down onto your counter.
8. A soap-dispensing sponge holder, so you’ll never again have to hold a soap bottle with your hands that just touched raw chicken. It has a ventilated spot for the sponge, so it dries quickly, and a drip tray underneath to catch excess water.
9. Or a little llama sponge holder, if your sponge prefers to hang out in a more whimsical spot. This little cubby for your scrubby can be wiped clean if it starts to look a little dirty, and it comes with a sponge included.
10. Some scented vinegar, because vinegar is well-known for being a great cleaner, but it smells, you know... vinegar-y. This multipurpose product will make all your surfaces shine and it'll get rid of messes and funky odours in the kitchen.
11. A silicone sink strainer, so your pipes don't clog with built-up food and debris that goes down the sink (yuck). This little guy makes it easy to throw out the stuff you don’t want getting into your drain, so your sink will look nice and tidy.
12. A bamboo broom that'll clear up all your crumbs and look very boho-chic while doing it. It has dense bristles that’ll sweep up kitchen messes, and it comes with a top loop for hanging.
13. A steam mop that'll clean and sanitize your floor as well as kill up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria, because who knows what you (and your pet) have stepped in? It'll also cut through tough, sticky messes easily, so you don't have to scrub at them.
14. Or a little robot vacuum, if that's more your jam. This smart little guy studies the condition of your floors and hunts out messes and scuffs. It can be programmed to routinely clean the floors throughout your entire home or do focused spot cleaning on areas that need extra attention, like the kitchen after meal prep.
15. An electric grill and panini press brush that'll scrub down into those hard-to-reach grooves. It has a silicone wiper blade on the front that scrapes away greasy residue and tiny bits of food, so your food never cross-contaminates.
16. A big soap dispenser, because washing your hands is the most important thing to do. Before food prep, after food prep, before eating, after eating — wash your damn hands!
17. A compost bin that'll keep odours contained, because nothing smells worse than compost. It’s easy to clean (even if you don’t use a composting bag!) and it can go right into the dishwasher if it gets too gross.
18. And lastly, a surface cleaner that'll work on every single surface in your kitchen and house. It cleans up stainless steel, finished wood, kitchen countertops, appliances, and tiles. It's also safe to use around kids and food, so you'll probably find yourself reaching for this product on the regular.
