When the seasons start to change, it can be a great time to reevaluate your home and get ready for the new season by cleaning your space and decluttering. When big sales like October Prime Big Deal Days occur, it is a great time to stock up on cleaning favorites and new gadgets to make your cleaning processes easier.

Writer Jannely Espinal tested mops to find the best ones for your floors. She said, “When tested on all four floor types, the mop head was efficient at picking up debris and soil with minimal swipes. While some soil residue remained on the vinyl flooring and ceramic tile, the mop did an excellent job removing the loose particles.”
Shop TODAY contributor Chrissy Callahan tested these trash bags and says, “I found this bag to be both strong and durable, especially since it didn’t puncture when I put sharp flower stems in with the rest of the heavy load.” If you like a tighter trash bag fit, these are the ones for you.
