Cleaning gadgets are an essential part of home maintenance, but not all are created equal. You can purchase many different products, from Swiffer to Bon Ami to Mrs. Meyer's plant-based multi-surface cleaner. Here are a few of my favorites:
Swiffer
You may be asking yourself, "Is Swiffer really a cleaning gadget?" The short answer is that it is. Swiffer's worldwide revenue has exceeded $500 million. Its convenience is why it is so popular. Swiffer's original design was made for young adults and parents who are busy but don't have the time or desire to clean. The company currently offers a mop with a dusting cloth and an antibacterial wipe.
Bon Ami
Bon Ami is known for its effective, "scratch free" household scrubs. Experts recommend the powder cleaner, which is also recommended by Saudia Davis, founder and CEO of GreenHouse Eco-Cleaning, and Cindy DiPrima (co-founder and CEO of CAP Beauty). Bon Ami's ingredient list is simple and includes baking soda and limestone as well as feldspar mineral and alkylbenzene-sulfonic acids.
OXO's Good Grips Deep Clean Brush Set
OXO's Deep Clean Brush Set includes a set of two nylon bristles that are angled and sized for maximum comfort. The Large Brush is angled to clean grout, stove tops, and shower door tracks. The Soft Thumb Pad at the back of the bristlehead provides a place for your thumbs to rest. The thumb pad is non-slip and soft to ensure maximum comfort during scrubbery.
Mrs. Meyer's multipurpose, plant-based cleaner for surfaces
Mrs. Meyer's offers a multi-surface cleaner made from plants for those who are concerned about chemicals in cleaning products. Mrs. Meyers uses biodegradable, natural ingredients that are not found in conventional cleaning products. Its ingredients list is lengthy and contains ingredients that can irritate skin or cause allergies. However, it's not toxic. The product may be superior to conventional cleaning products but it leaves consumers feeling disappointed.
OXO's EasyRing Spin Mop
OXO EasyRing Spin Mops are simple to use. With the newer generation, it is much easier to pull the mop head. This handy cleaning gadget comes with a variety of attachments, including three scrubbing pads and three wet mopping pads. You will also find two reusable cleaning containers and a handy hanging loop. The instruction manual also includes cleaning solution recipe.

How to teach a cat to use the litter box
They are great for reducing waste from your pet, but not all cats like them. They can be too small for cats, or simply wrong for them. This could lead to them smearing litter on the floor and leaving it there.

The box should have enough room for your cat to stand straight inside the box without having them crouch.

You should place it so your cat can go outside.

Once he gets used to the idea, reward him with praise whenever he uses the box correctly. You might also consider offering treats to your client, but only after you've completed your business.

Your cat shouldn't be forced to use the box.

Be patient! It can take several weeks before your cat starts using the box regularly, so don't worry if it takes longer than expected.
