Spring is right around the corner. I don’t know about you, but I’m dying for it to get here! I’m so ready for the warmer temps and blooming flowers. We need some fresh air! Whenever spring time arrives, a lot of us get into cleaning mode! Do you like to spring clean? This year, I’ve got two new cleaning tools that are going to make cleaning all the floors in our house so much easier!
It doesn’t matter what kind of floors you have — these two cleaning tools are the only things you need! Our entire basement is carpet, and the majority of our main floor is hard wood. I use one of these cleaning tools for the carpet and one for the rest of the floors.
My Favorite Cleaning Tools for Floors
Let’s Talk Bare Floors
There are two things I don’t like about these types of floors. First, I think they show dust and dirt and crumbs way more than carpet! I’m sure you would agree. Second, I feel like you have to sweep the floors and then mop them before they are ever clean — and that’s a lot of work.
What I love about this cleaning tool — the Bissell CrossWave Floor and Carpet Cleaner with Wet-Dry Vacuum — is that it does both jobs for you! It vacuums and mops at the same time!! We use it for all of our main level floors, and it works wonders! You wouldn’t believe the amount of nasty that we empty out of the tank when we are finished.
Here are the awesome features of this mop/vacuum:
- It vacuums and washes your floors at the same time.
- It can clean both hard floors and area rugs, so you don’t even have to move all the rugs out of the way!
- The dual-action multi-surface brush roll is made from microfiber and nylon so it mops and picks up dry debris at the same time.
- There’s a two-tank system that keeps the cleaning solution and the dirty water separate so you know you are always cleaning with fresh water/formula.
- The controls on the handle allow you to switch between cleaning hard floors and area rugs easily. You can also control the amount of cleaning solution you use with a trigger button.
- It’s easy to clean after you are done mopping/vacuuming all your floors.
Now, I like to be really honest in my reviews. So let me tell you what I don’t like about it. You do have to buy the special cleaning solution to use in the mop. The stuff works great, but it is an added expense. The only other downside is when you clean the tools after mopping, you have to let them dry before putting them back in the mop. With that being said, I love this thing! It’s easy to use, does a great job, and saves a lot of time. I recommend it to everyone I know!

Now, let’s talk carpets.
Vacuuming has never been a chore I enjoy. It feels like it takes forever. The vacuum is always heavy and hurts my back after awhile. And don’t even get me started on the cord and how it gets in the way constantly.
I’m telling ya, people, we have come a long way in the world of cleaning! Dyson has created a vacuum that solves all these annoying issues. We bought the Dyson V8 Absolute Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner, and our lives have never been the same. Our entire basement is carpet, and we have a big basement. But this vacuum cleaner does the job — it goes so much faster when the vacuum is lightweight and doesn’t include a cord. I love that it comes with several attachments and easily click on or off. I can sweep my whole basement and all the stairs before it needs recharged.
The only thing I don’t like about this vacuum is the trigger button to make it work. In a way, it’s a good thing because it makes sure the vacuum is only running when you’re holding the button down. But if you are doing a lot of vacuuming at once, your finger can start to get tired!
This vacuum works on both carpet and hard floors, but we mostly use it for our carpets and furniture too. It easily switches to a handheld vacuum for spot cleaning! It also has a HEPA filtration system so it expels clean air. It’s really easy to empty, too. It also comes a docking station, which makes it really convenient for storing! I’m telling you, friends, ditch your old vacuum and get this puppy. Welcome to a whole new world of cleaning!
