Branch Basics Concentrate
There are a lot of chemical-based cleaning products out there, and thankfully many manufacturers have taken steps to become more eco-friendly. The newest kid on the block is Branch Basics. The brand uses a plant-based, non-toxic and clinically tested concentrate that can be diluted for various uses in one of their easy-to-refill bottles (laundry, foam hand wash, glass cleaner, all-purpose cleaner and bathroom cleaner). The more than 500 five-star online reviews prove the concept works! The best part? One bottle of the concentrate can be used to make 20+ formulas for upwards of $100 in savings. Talk about a spring cleaning steal! The Starter Kit + Oxygen Boost package ($69) will get you off to a great start.
Dyson V11 Torque Drive Vacuum
This brand new beauty comes from a company that needs no introduction. Dyson continues to lead the pack in the vacuum cleaner industry and the new V11 ($697) will definitely be a boon to your spring cleaning. Better than its predecessors, this vacuum offers suction power that automatically adjusts based on floor type, so you no longer have to switch back and forth manually. This also means that battery life is extended. The new LCD screen faces the user and indicates the remaining battery life, not just in bars as with previous models, but down to the second. Your floors and area rugs are about to be cleaner than they’ve ever been before.

Winbot X
“The view is better than ever,” says Ecovacs of the newest version of the Winbot ($450). The free-moving window cleaner cleans your glass using a four-stage process that squeegees and wipes in every direction. It easily identifies your window’s size and shape to create the proper path for optimal cleaning. Choose the automatic cleaning pattern or the deep cleaning mode, which goes back over the same areas more than once.
And if robots can clean your windows, they can bake bread, too!

The original Shark Steam Pocket Mop made a breeze of steam cleaning. Now Shark has introduced their smartest innovation yet.

Molekule Air Purifier
When it comes to spring cleaning, you’ll need more than all-purpose cleaning sprays and a vacuum cleaner. To get the air in your home really clean, consider this new high-tech air purifier ($799) that will help get rid of the dust and bacteria that may have built up during the winter. Molekule uses a new process called PECO that rids the air of pollutants at the molecular level. This means allergens, mold, bacteria, viruses and chemicals aren’t just trapped in a filter, but totally removed from your household air. It can trap VOCs and viruses that are 1000x smaller than anything a HEPA filter can trap. How cool is that?!
