Spring is a time of year when a lot of people are thinking about the better weather ahead and are ready to say goodbye to the winter blahs. Looking around, you think about how your home could use some freshening up, but the amount of work it might require makes you pause. What if you could get those tasks on your spring cleaning list done easier, though, with the help of new technologies? It’s definitely possible, and here are some great ones that you might want to use around the house.
Smart Vacuum Cleaners
Vacuuming is a chore that many people find boring and if you’re one of those folks then you’ll want to hear this. Save yourself the trouble of hauling out the vacuum and having to spend a lot of time going from room to room with it. Instead, smart vacuums help you by doing the work for you. Go hands-free with robotic ones that you simply turn on and let them map your home, navigating around the couches and other furniture.
Some models even come with self-emptying docks, adding to their convenience. Think of the time you’ll be able to put to other activities, or to some much-needed relaxation as a robot vacuum tidies the floors for you.
Get even more functionality out of the smart vacuum cleaner by connecting it to an app, if there is one available for the model you choose, and scheduling cleanings from your smartphone. Imagine returning from the office to a home with dust-free floors.
Cordless and Robotic Lawn Mowers
Springtime also means spending time in the yard. The warmer weather brings new lush grass, which, of course, needs mowing. With regular trimming, the lawn looks amazing, which helps your whole properly look nice, especially on a sunny day.
With the help of tech, mowing the lawn doesn’t have to be a lot of work anymore, and the quality of the mow is still great. Many robotic lawn mowers operate similarly to robotic vacuums, cutting grass on their own using intelligent built-in software and navigating obstacles. There are smart mowers that even return to their charging docks when needed.
There are also cordless electric lawn mowers. Without worry about fuel and cords, your task of getting out to cut the lawn is a lot easier. Try a battery-powered lawn mower to experience how it is quieter and more environmentally friendly than a traditional one. It also requires little effort to maintain.
High-Tech Window Cleaners
The spring cleaning checklist usually includes cleaning the house windows, inside and out. While it’s good exercise for your arms cleaning the glass, there are likely other things you’d rather be doing. Plus, it’s frustrating when you spend so much time on this activity only to realize that you still see streaks on the window panes. Yet you continue trying as the interior looks so much nicer with the sun streaming in.
The solution could be getting a smart window cleaning robot. The latest ones cling to glass surfaces and clean them thoroughly. Perhaps best of all, they are designed not to leave smudges behind. The most popular devices use suction technology and artificial intelligence to cover large windows in less time and do a great cleaning job.
What if you prefer to be at least a bit hands-on with the task? Consider using a water-repellent glass treatment to lessen the amount of work in the future.
Steam Cleaners and Your Spring Clean
Deep cleaning involves getting rid of dirt that’s been sitting there for a while, so it may be hard to get rid of by hand. Instead of using a lot of effort, look for a high-pressure steam cleaner to sanitize floors and countertops.
The latest ones can also sanitize grout and upholstery. Whether you’re prone to allergies, have kids, or want to create a safer home for pets, this type of device appeals to a lot of families.
Multi-purpose steam mops are a relatively new thing that might be of interest. They have attachments you can mix and mat, depending on the surface you want to use them on. There are ones for use on kitchen tiles, others for bathroom fixtures, and more. Some models even do double-duty as garment steamers.
Air Purifiers
After dusting and vacuuming, there might still be particles in the air, keeping you from getting a true refresh of the home as the new season begins. That’s when you might shop for smart air purifiers with HEPA filters. They can collect allergens, pollen, and pet dander to help make the indoor air cleaner.
Leading brands offer purifiers with real-time air quality monitoring via smartphones by simply connecting to an app. Some higher-end models even have UV-C light technology to combat bacteria and viruses.
Top models offer wider coverage, so they are usable across more of the house’s interior. Some can also be controlled by voice control by connecting to an app. That makes changing device settings easier than ever, whether you use a smartphone or laptop.
Other Tech around the House
Of course, this list is not exhaustive. Other tech to help you with spring cleaning include inventory apps that help track stored items, electric pressure washers for cleaning the driveway and deck, and smart home assistants set up to send you reminders when to clean different things around the house. You can even set up these smart assistants to activate tech like your robot vacuum with simple voice commands.
Concluding Words on Using Tech for Spring Cleaning
The latest technologies can make spring cleaning easier and faster. That can free you up to have more opportunities to go out with friends, work overtime at the office, or spend quality time with the kids. You’re more in control of your time now!
There are many tech choices, including robot lawn mowers and smart vacuums. Adding innovations like these to your routine can make it simpler and better, which explains why more people are using them now. When you’re done using them, be sure to clean the devices as recommended for the best care so they last a long time, including next year’s spring clean!
