    Learn More About Cleaning Supplies

    Ready to give your cleaning closet a bit of an upgrade? Opt for beautifully handcrafted cleaning tools and supplies from brilliant artisans on Etsy. Each piece is created with thought, and many are so beautiful they can easily be left out until the next use! Here are a few of the basic cleaning supplies every home should have:


    • Buckets, mops, and brooms: As classic floor cleaning tools, you can sweep up pet fur, food spills, and dust before mopping with soap and water for a spotless finish. Some brooms may be better equipped to handle outdoor work—like stiff bristle brooms made from corn or plastic—while others with synthetic fibers are better for cleaning up smaller particles like dust and fur inside.
    • Cleaning products: Your home is full of things to clean, including yourself. From soaps and suds to scrubs and dusters, wash everything in your home with a wide variety of handmade cleaning products available on Etsy.
    • Cloths and sponges: Few cleaning jobs are possible without a cloth or sponge. Whether you use them to scrub away dirt or dry off surfaces after cleaning, these are necessary for any cleaning job.
    • Laundry supplies: Keep your clothes looking and smelling fresh with laundry supplies like dryer balls, detergents, and soaps.
    • Air fresheners: Top off any cleaning job with an air freshener from independent Etsy sellers. Fill your car with the scent of pine or blanket your house with the calming aroma of sandalwood and citrus.

    Small shops on Etsy can add bits of customization and personalization to even the most often-overlooked cleaning supplies.


    • Aprons: You might want to protect your clothing with an apron as you tackle tough spills or use cleaning products. Certain canvas aprons can withstand oil stains if you’re working with an oil-based cleaner or shiner that might splatter. Lightweight cotton and linen aprons are easy to toss in the washing machine once your chores are done. Outdoor aprons come in handy for DIY projects, painting, and gardening. They can often be monogrammed or personalized with a special message.
    • Cleaning gloves: Cleaning gloves help stop you from touching the ick you might be cleaning, from cleaning drains to scrubbing the tub or shower walls. Some can be customized with embellishments or embroidery.
