15 Clever Amazon Gadgets, So You Can Spring Clean Without Getting Your Hands Dirty

If you hate dried-out hands that smell like cleanser, this lightweight Homitt Electric Spin Scrubber Power Brush With 3 Replaceable Brush Heads ($50) is a true lifesaver (and that comes from someone who owns one herself). It makes scrubbing the tub, tile walls, counters, and other areas of my home so easy and keeps hands totally dry in the process. I love the simple on-off switch (versus a ton of arm motion with an actual sponge) and that it comes with three different brush shapes to tackle different tough spots.

For an upgrade on the model I have, I'm eying this Homitt Electric Spin Scrubber Power Brush With Adjustable Extension Arm and 3 Brush Heads ($70) next. Because it extends longer (up to 42 inches), it would be easier to reach the upper walls of my shower without stretching my arms and to clean the floor without even bending down. Win-win.

If cleaning is still your form of cardio and you want to use some actual arm power, the Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Bathroom Scrubber With Reusable Handle ($8) is a cheaper option to a power brush. This still washes away grime while keeping hands clean . . . so are you ready to say "bye" to your regular sponge (since it's refillable, too)?

My dog doesn't shed that much, but this FURemover Pet Hair Removal Broom With 3-5' Telescoping Handle and Lint Brush/ Squeegee Combo ($20) definitely picks up any hair that falls off either of us. However, my favourite part is the squeegee side of the broom that can get at dust and dirt, too, and that it can be rinsed off (versus disposable mop pads). Since I do sometimes see evidence of Beau on clothing, the included smaller lint brush is a treat since it acts like a magnet and can be washed clean as well.

Or instead of cleaning your dust-collecting display items with a towel or brush, slip on a Microfibre Cleaning/Dusting Glove (1 Pair, Washable/Reusable) ($10), and you can admire and clean them at the same exact time.

Even though I'm not going to the gym these days, I still love to keep a reusable metal bottle by my bed so I can have easy access to cold water in the middle of the night. And if you've ever used one of these, you know they can get a bit funky (and can be tough to clean without leaving soapy residue). I absolutely love these Bottle Bright All-Natural, Biodegradable, Chlorine and Odour-Free Water Bottle Cleaning Tablets (12 ct.) ($8) because they just go right in the bottle and work their magic overnight, then you rinse the bottle clean in the morning. No brush needed, and, more importantly, no icky smell or taste afterward either.

If you've got a dust allergy, a dust-mite allergy, and just plain allergies (or even suspect you do), this Housmile Mattress Vacuum Cleaner ($130) is a miracle worker. Just run it over your mattress, couch, pillows, and any other soft surface, and you'll truly be amazed (and possibly disgusted) by what its filter picks up.

Yes, you'll have to hold the dish with one hand, but this Mr. Siga Soap-Dispensing Dish Brush With Holder ($13) is way easier than scrubbing with a sponge, as the soap comes out with the touch of a button and the brush has a scraper bit to get at stuck-on food without using your nails.

Using protective gloves to wash dishes is one way to keep hands clean and wrinkle-free, but why not skip a step and opt for these textured Anzoee Reusable Silicone Scrubbing Gloves For Kitchen, Bathroom, Car, and More (1 Pair) ($8) to clean without a sponge (or pair with that dish-dispensing brush for double scrubbing, too)?
