Best Cleaning Tools Under $20

Have you ever wondered what the best cleaning tools under $20 are? You're not alone. Many people spend a ton of money on cleaning gadgets that promise cleaning hacks to save time or money. The right cleaning tools for the job aren't finger-snapping hacks - you just need to know what to use and when.

************
I am finding out that 6 hours after we went live this morning - some of the #founditonamazon products have been sold out, or the vendors have raised their prices above $20. When possible we've rerouted you to a similar product. I wasn't trying to deceive you - I guess I need a disclaimer for those joining us after the live show has ended. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. 🤗

I’m not a professional cleaner - just a homeowner. I want to personally thank you, Angela, for sharing this information with everyone and not just professionals. And I’d like to thank all of the professional cleaners who comment on the videos. I’m learning from all of you. Thank you!

I'm glad I stumbled onto your site. I'm retired from the legal profession, but not ready to stop working & thought of housecleaning in early 2023. My friend mentioned me at her church for anyone seeking a house cleaner. I now have 2 clients now & am a care giver. I'm so happy to learn better ways of cleaning so I can grow my biz. Thank you!

I use Barkeepers Friend for glass shower doors to get the water spots off then I use Rainex after to keep the water spots off. Good stuff

I watched one of your videos a while back and you suggested microfiber cloths (microfiber wholesale) for window and glass cleaning. All you needed was water. I thought to myself, too good to be true. I bought them anyways...I clean vacation rentals and 2 years later I have cut all windex use and paper towel use out of my cleaning. I save so.much money and keep trash out of the landfills!

I'm not a professional house cleaner, but I was diagnosed with ADHD when in my late thirties. I have always been messy and my house was always cluttered. After beginning ADHD meds, I can finally focus enough to clean my home. I started working from home during COVID and last year my Mom had a debilitating stroke so I made home renovations and additions and brought her to live with me. I cannot get enough of your tips and instructional words of wisdom especially since my house almost doubled in size. I have always used water only to clean windows and if necesary, a vinegar/water solution with some Dawn. I always get strange comments when people find out I hate Windex and try not to use a lot of chemicals when cleaning. My cleaners consist mostly of Dawn, water, baking soda, citric acid and vinegar. All of this to say THANK YOU and I am now a subscriber! 🙂

I am 30 years old who is very new to keeping a clean house. I love love love your videos. You are so professional and provide me comfort in your knowledge and how you present the information. My husband is a medical resident, and we have two kids.

[marekimura]

You give some of the BEST advice! In this world of "You NEED this cleaner. You NEED this expensive brand. You NEED this whatever." You tell us the truth. You explain it as it should be. Thank you.

Ah, but I am learning new things with you and I am absolutely excited. I think I am sick… who gets exited about house cleaning? I could totally be doing this for living

[marionbylsma]

I keep the dollar tree broom head in my bathroom, shower caddy, and I can wash down the hole tiles and shower curtain and bathtub with it real quick. Never a big problem to keep my bathtub. Real clean and I can even use it on my shower curtain

Angela, I appreciate all your videos. I'm a stay at home homeschool mom of 4 girls and I can't afford to hire a cleaning company although I really wish I could. I use alot of your ideas. Thank you.

Here I am with covid for the first time.. needing to clean my apartment so bad… hoping to get some sort of inspiration to get up and clean. I just don’t have the energy.. so I’ll just watch cleaning tips

[NadoCrowFriend]

Love the “car” squeegee, with the king handle! You’ve solved my problem of trying to reach down to clean my old fiberglass shower - arthritis in my knees makes kneeling in there to clean, impossible now.

[Nclk]

I just found your channel and I am absolutely in love with you 😂
I am a clean freak. I can’t hire anyone because they become very intimidated by how efficient and fast I am. My moto is “all crevices will be well cleaned” hahaha my helpers always say, ‘I should be paying you because I am learning so much”. Right now I have a friend helping me and she is so happy that I clean along with her, but she keeps saying I don’t need help 😂

I grew up close with my cousins. I never knew they had a housecleaner until I was about 17. We always had to clean up behind ourselves, including washing out the tub after each use.

My secret weapon for shower floors and shower walls is the Libman "No Knees Floor Scrub Brush". It's outstanding. The hard bristles make quick work on all kinds of shower messes, even showers that have been neglected for a bit. The best part is the long stick combined with the 360° swivel head, which allows me to all areas comfortably, while standing. It negates me having to get on my hands and knees, work up a sweat, and break my back scrubbing all of the nooks and crannies of the shower. Now neglected showers that would normally take me 20 - 40 minutes to clean, take no more than 5 - 10 minutes of cleaning! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Word of caution: don't use the brush on your fixtures, it might scuff those up. Stick to softer bristled brushes or sponges for your fixtures.

Warning re using Dawn as a regular, everyday hand soap: it is a very strong degreaser that will dry out your hands in the long run. Especially when you wash your hands frequently.

Cleaning "job" hands that have just been through cleaning greasy grimy stuff is different, of course. ♥️ Dawn is a really great allrounder cleaner, I fully agree. 😊

I love that you say to be sparse with strong chemicals in the toilet. Toilet water goes back into the drinking water cycle, so you don't want to fill it up with toxic chemicals.

For C Ziv, I have also been very ill over the past 2 years and although better than I was, having chronic illness means I have had to alter how I do things too!! Like Angela, I agree that you just do what you CAN, and take care of yourself first. Housework is very patient... it will wait for you, LOL!! Now what works best for me is what I call "puttering". I get up and do a small job, or even part of a job and then rest for a bit. Then go back and do a little more. Example is in the bathroom.... do the sink, then take a break. Clean the toilet and take another break if needed. No one is timing you so go at your own pace. I often do things when I need to go to that room for another reason, ex every time I go to the bathroom I clean one thing. By supper time the whole thing has been cleaned ( or all but the floor) and I haven't stressed myself. Do dishes sitting on a chair or stool, wipe down one thing every time you go get a drink or snack... just 60sec and before you know it the whole thing is done. And concentrate on the most important things only!! And let your partner do what he/she can. Even if it isn't to your standards let them sweep or vacuum. You may need to tell them what needs to be done, but DO NOT be embarrassed to ask for help!!! We all need help sometimes. It does NOT mean you are weak, it means you are HUMAN!!!

This was an especially fun Live. You always get my weekends off to a great motivational start. ☺️ And I’ve already got several things in my Amazon cart.

As a new cleaning company starting a month ago I have been watching all your videos and have helped me out like crazy

[ginachu]

It's interesting that there are so many ways youtubers can get paid. A behind-the-scenes or a making-of one episode video would be cool. Thanks for sharing what you know and breaking it down just like you do for any topic. I don't always agree with your recommended products and already know about some of your cleaning talking points as I worked as a janitor for a few years, I always learn something new and I enjoy your enthusiasm on cleaning
