Best Tools for a Spotlessly Clean Kitchen

Best Tools for a Spotlessly Clean Kitchen

Cleaning your kitchen doesn’t have to be a dreaded task, but next to bathrooms, it’s probably the place people fear cleaning the most. Unfortunately, that means we can get lazy and douse our kitchens with chemical cleaners to get the job done. The kitchen is the last place you want chemical residue. We’re confident you’ll make quick work of cleaning floors, counter-tops, sinks, and ovens with these kitchen-cleaning tools.

Sweepovac: Perfect for Quick Clean-ups

Busy moms can struggle just to keep their kitchens free of crumbs, pet hair, and anything else their kids track in. A truly unique product is the Sweepovac SL2 Undercounter Kitchen Vacuum System. Designed to fit neatly underneath lower cabinets, it plugs into a standard outlet, using bags to collect debris.

Perfect for kitchens with a lot of foot traffic, just sweep messes directly into this unique vacuum system. It gets rid of everything from dust to Cheerios in a matter of seconds—so simple, even the kids can get in on the act!

Cordless Vacuums: Effective Crumb Removal

If installing an undercounter system seems intimidating, a cordless stick vacuum is a fast and convenient way to clean kitchen floors. The newest models provide as much suction as a full-sized vacuum so you can clear away every last Cheerio as well as stray kibble, pet fluff and fine dust. Lightweight and maneuverable, many models run for up to 40 minutes--plenty of time to zip around your kitchen (and probably other areas too).  

One of our most popular stick models is the Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum. A new torque drive cleaner head and in-line design gives this the most powerful suction and 1 full hour of running time. Like all Dyson models, it also converts into a handheld, convenient for cleaning around your refrigerator, counter-tops, stairs, and even car interiors.

Steam Mops: Chemical Free Cleaning

While vacuuming will get rid of the crumbs, it doesn’t disinfect your floors. That’s where steam mops come in. Steam mops are perfect for sanitizing kitchen floors without using chemicals. They quickly transform regular tap water into a fine steam hot enough to disinfect tile, sealed hardwoods, and linoleum.

The Steam & Go 8-in-1 All Purpose Steam Cleaner takes care of greasy, stuck-on messes on floors, then converts to a handheld cleaner. This continuous steam mop gives you up to 15 minutes of cleaning time and has an adjustable knob so you can easily go from minimal to full steam power. Refilling is simple since you can add water during use without waiting for it to cool. This handy steam mop not only cleans floors, but comes with 8 additional tools for cleaning your entire kitchen from countertops to metal grills. You can even use it to steam clothes.

Steam Cleaners: Whole House Cleaning

Steam cleaners are an effective, chemical-free tool for cleaning kitchens. Like steam mops, they transform tap water into a super-hot steam that eliminates bacteria, viruses, and allergens as well as grime. Because they have a rolling canister, they hold more water for longer cleaning times and generally have a wider variety of tools and attachments for all types of jobs. Steam cleaners are commonly used to clean:

  • Ovens
  • Grout/tile backsplashes
  • Counter-tops
  • Sinks
  • Stoves/grilles
  • Upholstery
  • Carpet

Steam cleaners like the MucCulloch MC1375 Canister Steam System naturally clean your kitchen surfaces, even wiping out dangerous pathogens like E. coli and salmonella. You can control the high pressure boiler with up to 58 psi to regulate steam depending on the task at hand. Portable, with 20 cleaning tools and 90 minutes of continuous steam control, not only will your kitchen be spotless, but the rest of your home as well.  

For extensive steam cleaning throughout your home, you may want to consider a full-size model. They’re more heavy duty with larger water reservoirs, so you can clean bathrooms, the nursery, laundry room, and outdoor appliances, like grills, in addition to your kitchen. Browse our selection of residential steam mops and steam cleaners to find the perfect one for your home.
