I’ve found that having a dedicated mobile station helps me switch my brain into cleaning mode. Having all my tools in one place makes it less overwhelming, too.

Using a wheeled cart has been a game changer! I can easily take it to each room I’m working on. The cart can also fold up when I’m not using it, but I use it so much that it’s always around!

All of my tools are available on Amazon! Touch or click on the images below to shop.
