How to choose: cleaning tools & home helpers
- Match the tool to the surface. Hard bristles suit tiles and grout but can scratch stainless steel, glass and non-stick pans.
- For rechargeable cleaners, check the battery runtime and how it charges (USB or a charging base) before buying.
- Washable, replaceable pads and heads save money over time compared with throwaway ones.
- Never mix cleaning products such as bleach and ammonia-based cleaners, and keep products labelled and out of children's reach.
- For anything plugged in, check that it is rated for the 220V supply used in the Philippines.
Frequently asked questions
Are electric scrubbers worth it?
They can save effort on bathrooms and kitchens, especially over large areas, but they need regular charging and washing of the heads. A manual brush is fine for small jobs.
How often should I replace sponges and brushes?
Replace them when they smell, fall apart or stay dirty after washing. Kitchen sponges usually need replacing more often than bathroom brushes.
Which is better for tiles, a mop or a scrubber?
A mop is best for daily floor cleaning, while a scrubber is better for stained grout and corners.
