Best part is it's easy to take upstairs
Time for that annual spring ritual: house-cleaning. To make it a breeze, Laura Dellutri of The Healthy Housekeeper suggests trying some of her favorite gadgets:

Backpack Vacuum
Most vacuum cleaners are clunky and heavy to carry. Dellutri uses the ProTeam VX2000 (above), a nine-pound backpack model with a 35-foot power cord, rug/floor tool and microfilter. "Best part is it's easy to take upstairs," Dellutri adds (proteamvacs.com; $499).

Flexible Duster
Get to hard-to-reach zones atop refrigerators and between cabinets with the Total-Reach Duster (ungerglobal.com; $9.95). The flexible paddle is 31 1/2" long and 5 1/4" wide, so it can fit into tight spaces.

Swivel Mop
The Vileda Ultra Max flat mop has thin replaceable pads and rotates 360° to get under kitchen cabinets and around table legs. Its bucket has a built-in wringer so your hands never get wet or touch detergents. "I've even used it to clean paneled walls," Dellutri says (rollomatic.com, $21.99).

Flushable Toilet Brush
Fresh Brush has biodegradable pads that you can flush after use (scrubbingbubbles.com; $4.99).
