No matter which cleaning job you're tackling, donning a pair of rubber gloves is a great idea. Rubber gloves can protect your hands from drying out when you use chemical cleaners. They can also keep your hands comfortable when you're cleaning dishes in hot water. Rubber gloves come in a range of sizes, so make sure you choose the right ones for your hands.

Consider your floor coverings carefully when choosing the right cleaning tools for your home. Brooms are ideal for sweeping up dust and debris from a hard floor's surface. Since you use them dry, they are ideal for surfaces that don't tolerate water, such as wooden floors. Brooms can also suit indoor and outdoor use. Get a coarse-bristled broom for your patio and pathways and a softer broom, which won't damage floor coverings like floorboards, for indoor use.

Wet mops are ideal for cleaning up liquid spills on hard surfaces that tolerate water, such as linoleum and ceramic tiled floors. However, there are also dry mops for attracting surface dust and debris. These can be very effective, as particles are attracted to the soft mop heads. Wet-and-dry mops are a versatile choice for all kinds of cleaning.

Microfiber cloths and sponges are ideal for cleaning windows without damaging the glass. However, to really create a professional finish, consider using a squeegee. Perfecting your squeegee technique can take a little practice, but it's worth persevering. Dip the sponge side into your window cleaner and clean the window. If your window is extra dirty, you may need to repeat this step. Then squeegee away the water quickly before it dries for a streak-free finish.

You can repurpose the microfiber cloths and sponges you use for windows to clean hard surfaces such as sinks, bench tops, and walls. Scrub brushes come in handy for removing stubborn marks and tackling tricky areas, like grout around the base of your toilet bowl.
