Spring Cleaning: 6 Ways to Tackle the Messes that Come with Twin Toddlers

Got kids? Got pets? Got kids who love to chase pets and get their hair everywhere? Worry no more, cleaning's no longer a chore. The Freo Pro by Narwal is a two-in-one mop and vacuum that automatically adjusts its suction while it moves between carpet and hard surfaces throughout your home. Its innovative design features a conical cleaning brush on a floating arm, so instead of getting tangled, hair and fur go directly into the dust bag. The vacuum's built-in system compresses dust for weeks' worth of cleaning, making for effortless disposal. Industry-leading mapping technology with millimeter-precision lasers enables it to avoid small and low-lying objects (like the Paw Patrol figurines you forgot to clean up before starting a cleaning session). The mop head has AI DirtSense technology that can sense when your floors are (or aren't) clean and keeps scrubbing until they are sparkling. Side sensors enable it to hug objects, so it reaches every corner of your home. Plus, the included base station is totally hands-free. It automatically washes, dries, and refills the mops with detergent and water, THEN cleans and dries itself. As long as you can remember to hit start (even if it's from your phone when you're not at home), this machine takes care of the rest. What more could you ask for?

This is a cordless stick vacuum with 550 watts of powerful suction suitable for deep cleaning high-pile carpets, area rugs, or hardwood floors. The rechargeable battery will give you up to 55 minutes of runtime on low mode or 22 minutes on high, and if you run out of power before you run out of (cleaning) energy, you can easily swap in its back-up battery to finish the job. It's got an anti-tangle brush, so whether you're vacuuming up pet hair or human hair (postpartum hair loss, anyone?), you're not going to end up with a gnarly mess to rip out from the brush roll. A dual HEPA filter captures 99.9 percent of allergens, dust mites, and fine particles, giving you cleaner air in your home. This cordless vacuum also has an LED flex head that helps you see dust in dark corners or along baseboards, and it comes with a dusting and crevice tool, a telescoping wand, and a wall-mounted dock to keep it out-of-the-way but easily within reach. Hurry, this one's almost 80 percent off right now!

This little machine packs huge cleaning power, allowing you to instantly and permanently remove stains from carpet and upholstery. It's the perfect deep cleaner for that terrifying moment when your once-hot-coffee inadvertently gets spilled onto your couch or carpet or your little one's mini juicebox leaks onto the carpet. I have used this machine on my brand-new couch and been impressed with it; you'd never know it was anything other than pristine. That's thanks to the power of Bissell's Pro OXY formula and its unique StainProtect technology, which loosens and removes tough spots and stains by providing consistent water temperatures while it cleans. This lightweight and compact machine is super portable and it has a self-cleaning HydroRinse tool that allows you to rinse the hose to remove build up, pet hair, dirt, and any lingering odor. It has a 15-foot cord length and a 37-ounce tank capacity, which means less stopping to empty the tank during a cleaning session.

This is the Winbot W1 Pro Omni by Ecovacs. It's an amazing, all-in-one window-cleaning station that can be used while it's plugged in, like if you're cleaning the windows in your kitchen and it's near an outlet, but it can also clean while it's in battery mode, which means you can use this machine to clean the outside of your windows—like, say, the ones you don't want to get a ladder out to reach the top of. As long as you can safely attach the unit to the front or back side of your window, you can sit back and watch—or catch up on laundry or dishes—as it cleans for you. With the battery, it's got a runtime of 110 minutes of continuous cleaning on a full charge, which is the equivalent of 55 square-meters of coverage. It uses intelligent climbing technology that's powered by an upgraded synchronous belt, making it resistant to water and friction, which prevents it from slipping while cleaning. This machine is designed with three-nozzle wide-spray technology, precision edge detection, and efficient turning, so it's able to clean a wide range of window types, from standard or frameless ones, to floor-to-ceiling and even tilting windows or shower doors. Five customizable cleaning modes can be accessed through the companion app or on the main unit's panel, so you can select or switch modes before it starts or while it's on-the-go.

These durable dusting gloves use a positive static charge to automatically attract dust and dirt when you scrub them on surfaces. They're made of a soft microfiber material, so they won't scratch the area you're cleaning, whether it's along the tough-to-reach slats on the blinds in your living room (HOW do they get so dusty so quickly?) or the hard-to-get-into areas in your car, from the dash, to the fans, to the knobs and control panel. These easy-to-clean gloves make it easy to clean your home in record time. With just a few quick swipes, you'll be saying goodbye to dust in no time.

One of the first things you'll probably assess once you find out you're expecting your babies are the products you use to clean your home. Even with child-locks, there's always the worry that your little ones, once mobile, could get into the cleaning supplies, so you don't want to have dangerous chemicals lying around. Pink Solution is a vegan, non-toxic, and powerful all-purpose cleaner that is eco-friendly and biodegradable. It's plant- and mineral-based, and it packs a serious punch when it comes to fighting stains (even the hardcore blowouts (times two) that you'll experience with twins). It's safe to use on basically any surface inside AND outside your home. We're talking kitchens, bathrooms, floors, marble, granite, tile, stainless-steel appliances, carpets and rugs, windows and glass, exterior siding, your car...all of it. Since we brought this into our home, cleaning has become easier and stains have become a thing of the past.
