A clean home doesn’t require endless effort—just the right tools. As we move through 2025, the cleaning industry has embraced smarter, more efficient equipment designed to make everyday tasks quicker and more effective.
Whether you’re doing routine maintenance or preparing for a deep clean, having the right tools on hand can transform your cleaning routine. Below, we’ve rounded up the must-have cleaning tools every Australian home should have this year to keep your space spotless and stress-free.
1. Microfibre Cloths – The All-Rounder
These cloths are not only reusable and eco-friendly, but they also trap dust, grime, and bacteria more effectively than traditional rags. They’re gentle on surfaces and can be used dry for dusting or damp for general cleaning.
Why it matters: Microfibre reduces the need for harsh chemicals and leaves no streaks behind.
2. Extendable Duster – For Hard-to-Reach Spots
Whether it’s ceiling fans, air vents, or the tops of cabinets, an extendable duster makes it easy to remove dust without a ladder.
Why it matters: High surfaces are dust traps—keeping them clean improves air quality and reduces allergens.
3. Spray Mop – Fast, Efficient Floor Cleaning
Forget the bucket. A spray mop allows you to clean hard floors quickly with minimal mess. Simply fill the tank with water or your preferred cleaning solution and spray as you go.
Why it matters: Ideal for weekly mops, especially in homes with kids or pets.
4. Vacuum Cleaner with HEPA Filter
A powerful vacuum is a must—but one with a HEPA filter is even better. It traps fine dust, allergens, and pet dander, making it ideal for allergy-prone households.
Why it matters: Cleaner air, less dust buildup, and healthier indoor spaces.
5. Grout and Tile Scrub Brush
Tiles may sparkle, but dirty grout can make the whole room look unclean. A stiff-bristled grout brush helps you scrub away grime and mould build-up with precision.
Why it matters: Restores tile surfaces and improves hygiene in kitchens and bathrooms.
6. Cordless Handheld Vacuum
Great for quick touch-ups, car interiors, and small messes, a cordless handheld vacuum is a time-saving addition to your cleaning arsenal.
Why it matters: No cord, no fuss—just quick, powerful spot cleaning.
7. Lint-Free Glass Cleaning Cloths
Windows, mirrors, and glass surfaces require a streak-free finish. Lint-free cloths or squeegees are perfect for getting a crystal-clear shine.
Why it matters: Elevates the look of your home by keeping glass and mirrors sparkling.
8. Silicone Squeegee for Showers
Prevent soap scum and water spots from building up by using a squeegee on shower screens and tiles after each use.
Why it matters: Daily use keeps bathrooms looking cleaner for longer and reduces deep cleaning frequency.
9. Electric Spin Scrubber
This powerful handheld tool removes the effort from scrubbing tough areas like tubs, grout, and tile edges—saving your arms and your time.
Why it matters: Deep cleans without the elbow grease—perfect for busy households.
10. Natural or Eco-Friendly Cleaning Products
While not technically a tool, switching to effective, plant-based cleaners complements your cleaning toolkit—and is gentler on your health and the environment.
Why it matters: Safe for kids, pets, and people with sensitivities, while still being powerful and efficient.
