A clean home starts with essential tools like a vacuum, bleach, mop and bucket, all-purpose cleaner, and sponges or microfiber cloths. While having these on hand is helpful, Justlife’s professional cleaning team brings top-quality supplies and expertise to keep your home spotless with ease.

A clean, organized home doesn’t just happen on its own — it requires the right tools and products. While professional cleaning services like Justlife bring their own high-quality equipment and supplies, it’s always useful to have a basic set of cleaning materials at home for quick touch-ups or unexpected messes.
Below is an expanded list of must-have home cleaning essentials that will help you tackle dirt, dust, and stains effectively.
A vacuum is now a household staple and arguably the most important cleaning tool you can own.
Why it’s essential: Vacuums remove dust, hair, pet dander, and small debris from carpets, rugs, upholstery, and even hard floors. Unlike brooms, which simply push dust around, vacuums actually trap and contain it.
Types to consider:
Upright vacuums for deep carpet cleaning.
Canister vacuums for better reach under furniture.
Stick vacuums for lightweight, quick clean-ups.
Robotic vacuums for hands-free daily maintenance.
Extra tip: Use a HEPA filter vacuum if you have allergies, as it captures even the tiniest dust particles.
Bleach is a powerful disinfectant and stain remover — perfect for killing germs and whitening surfaces.
Uses:
Disinfect bathroom tiles, sinks, and toilet bowls.
Remove mold and mildew from grout.
Whiten laundry (only safe fabrics).
Alternatives: If you prefer non-chlorine options, try oxygen bleach for a gentler but effective clean.
Caution: Always wear gloves and ensure proper ventilation when using bleach. Never mix it with ammonia or vinegar, as this can produce harmful fumes.
The mop may seem old-fashioned, but it’s still unbeatable for deep floor cleaning.
Types of mops:
Traditional string mop – great for heavy-duty scrubbing.
Microfiber flat mop – lightweight and quick-drying.
Spin mop with bucket wringer – reduces physical strain and mess.
Steam mop – sanitizes floors without chemicals using high heat.
Extra tip: Have two buckets — one for clean water and one for rinsing — to avoid spreading dirt back onto the floor.
A versatile cleaner is a must for everyday wiping and disinfecting.
Where to use:
Kitchen counters.
Bathroom sinks.
Tabletops and desks.
Door handles and high-touch surfaces.
Extra tip: Keep one spray bottle in the kitchen and another in the bathroom so you’re always ready for quick clean-ups.
Product variation: For eco-friendly cleaning, choose a plant-based, biodegradable all-purpose cleaner.
You’ll need a combination of scrubbing tools and lint-free cloths to handle different surfaces.
Sponges:
Soft sponges for dishes and delicate surfaces.
Abrasive sponges for stubborn grime (avoid on non-stick cookware or delicate finishes).
Microfiber cloths:
Perfect for dusting furniture, wiping mirrors, and cleaning electronics.
Reusable and machine-washable, making them cost-effective.
Extra tip: Color-code cloths — e.g., blue for bathrooms, yellow for kitchen — to avoid cross-contamination.
While an all-purpose cleaner can handle many surfaces, glass cleaner is formulated for streak-free shine.
Use on:
Windows.
Mirrors.
Glass tables.
Shower doors.
DIY option: Mix vinegar and water for an effective, budget-friendly alternative.
Protecting your hands while cleaning is essential.
Benefits:
Shields skin from harsh chemicals.
Provides better grip on wet tools.
Keeps hands soft and free from dryness.
A good duster can make cleaning faster and more efficient.
Types:
Microfiber dusters – trap dust instead of spreading it.
Extendable dusters – reach ceiling fans and tall shelves.
For jobs where a sponge won’t cut it, scrub brushes give you extra power.
Uses:
Tile grout.
Outdoor furniture.
Stubborn bathroom soap scum.
