What do I mean exactly? Well, when it comes to surfaces such as ceramic topped stoves, cleaning may be overlooked because they are such a pain to clean. However, there are now new types of cleaning cloths that make polishing stoves tops easy and, well, rewarding because you can do it well and easily.

So, if you are dismayed by cleaning and not getting the results you’d like, consider the tools you are working with. Maybe it’s time to get serious about investing in the right tools to get the job done.

Tools That Make Cleaning Easier

1.Microfiber cleaning cloths.

These cloths are miracle workers. They make cleaning a snap and shine like nothing else. Tired of spraying gallons of window cleaner on your granite surfaces and using two rolls of paper towels to make them shine? Well, here’s your answer. Microfiber cleaning cloths shine and brighten granite, glass, chrome or metal, and work WONDERS on ceramic stovetops. READ MORE ABOUT THE MIRACLE OF MICROFIBER.

2.Cleaning cloths.

When it comes to dusting or overall cleaning, nothing can compare to a good quality cleaning cloth. No, your husband’s old undershirt is not the tool of choice for dusting. Besides that, who WANTS to clean with an old t-shirt? Old clothes are for the trash, not for cleaning.

Purchase a set of 10 white dish or cleaning cloths to be used only for cleaning. These should be used for three different distinct purposes:

1.General cleaning, such as windows, mirrors, and polishing metal

2.Furniture dusting and polishing

3.Scrubbing, such as counters, walls, floors, etc.

Now, to keep your interest in cleaning, make sure to keep your cloths clean by washing them regularly in HOT water. Throw in some bleach to the wash to keep them white and pretty. Having a clean cloth to begin with will keep you interested in cleaning and WON’T spread more dirt and grime around.

4.Electrostatic mopping/dusting cloths.

Marketed under the names of Swiffer and Grab-It, these cloths work miracles in getting up dust bunnies, hair, and anything small and difficult-to-grab. Do yourself a favor and follow vacuuming with an electrostatic mop! You’ll be amazed at everything your vacuum leaves behind and that these little gems pick up. Too cheap to buy one? Then put an old pair of stockings or pantyhose over a mop and use this after vacuuming. It does an amazing job.

5.Baby wipes.

These aren’t for bottoms anymore. No, these versatile cleaning cloths are great from removing everything from eye make-up to messy faces. In the home, they are the perfect spot remover. Baby wipes quickly pick up stains on carpets and upholstery don’t leave behind soapy residue that actually ATTRACTS MORE dirt, like many specialized carpet and upholstery cleaners do. Wipes are also great for walls and woodwork.
