Compact Cleaning Tools
Drawers fill up with tools that looked useful in a supermarket aisle. The keepers are the ones that do a weekly job: a window squeegee, a grout brush, a lint tool. Everything else is clutter with a handle.
Key buying considerations
If it does not have a weekly job and a home, do not bring it in.
One tool per job
A grout brush and a squeegee beat a 12-piece set you cannot store. Sets are how drawers die.
Window tools and condensation
In a UK winter, a squeegee or window vac may be daily kit, not a spring-clean extra.
Replaceables versus gadgets
Cloths and brush heads you can wash or replace are more useful than battery novelties.
