Whether you’re looking to do some spring or fall cleaning, you need the right tools. No, that raggedy old straw broom isn’t gonna cut it—it’s time to upgrade. There are plenty of tools out there to help cut that cleaning time down from an entire Saturday to a 20-minute, anytime job.
Depending on what you’re trying to dismiss from your garage, one of these new tools could be the answer. Got dead leaves in the corners? Blow ’em out. Spiderwebs in the rafters? Try an extra-long broom. Leftover oil from a leaky oil pan? A new squeegee is a great last step in that cleaning process. Take command of your garage again and get it up to snuff.
Everything for Clean Car Wheels and Tires
Microfiber Duster with Extendable Pole
This duster is great for cleaning off windows, your toolbox, and the top of the old garage fridge. The microfiber head grabs dust and holds on, while the handle can extend to 100 inches for awesome reachability.
Dust Pan and Broom Set
For small messes or dirt around the edges, we like this dust pan and broom set. It’s nothing fancy, and the broom is designed to handle concrete. As a bonus, the dust pan is made with a rugged plastic and features a hands-free dumping system.
Extendable Broom
If you need a broom with more reach, try out this extendable sweeper. The aluminum telescopic handle can be adjusted from 32 to 53 inches—perfect for knocking cobwebs from the rafters and sweeping without bending over.
Push-to-Center Broom
If you’re trying to move a good amount of dirt, a push broom does it best. We like this one from Rubbermaid, as it features a neat push-to-center brush design. The steel handle and reinforced supporting yoke help it hold up to repeated use.
Curved Squeegee
If you just got done washing your garage floor, it’s time to get that water out. This squeegee features a curved head that helps keep the water in front of you without it spilling over the side. The large blade measures 24 inches wide, which helps speed the job along.
Sponge Mop
If your garage floor needs a bit of scrubbing, give this garage-grade sponge mop a try. It comes with a built-in brush, squeegee, and two extra sponges. Your garage will be sparkly clean in no time.
12-Gallon Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum
This cool blue shop vac from Vacmaster does everything well. The 12-gallon tank comes with a handy drain at the bottom to easily empty any liquids you’ve sucked up. The detachable blower can deliver 210-mph blowing power to clear out any light debris back outside to its natural habitat.
Black & Decker Cordless Blower
If sweeping and scrubbing sounds like too much work, just try blowing the dirt and leaves out with this kit from Black & Decker. The blower utilizes a 20V battery and can produce an air speed of 130 mph.
Oil-Dri
If you have an oil leak in your garage, this is the stuff to use. Like kitty litter, Oil-Dri absorbs moisture. Pour some on the mess and let it sit for a day or two for best results. You’ll want to periodically stir the stuff on the spill to get maximum absorption. Also, make sure to wear a mask when using this, as the dust can be harmful to inhale.
Oil Eater Cleaner/Degreaser
Once the oil is cleaned up, use this professional-grade oil cleaner to get rid of the stain. The nontoxic degreaser lifts the oil particles right out of the concrete. Dilute with water to adjust the strength.
