But the biggest lesson I’ve learned over the years is to clean little but often. Whether you’re spritzing and wiping the doors once you hop out of the shower, or scrubbing your toilet with a dispensing loo brush, there are plenty of things that you can do to make your cleaning routine a whole lot easier.
So, I’ve found for you 24 tools and products that allow you to put minimal effort in but still achieve the same spotless results...

Be careful as it's pretty abrasive, but in my opinion, it's one of the best heavy-duty cleaning tools out there. It has a special 'FlexTexture' which changes depending on your water temperature. It also washes pretty well after use, FYI.
