Skip the Scrubbing: 10 Gadgets to Get for International Clean Your Room Day

May 10 is International Clean Your Room Day, so if you don’t always keep your living space perfectly tidy, this could be the push you need. But sweeping, mopping, dusting, and the like can be really boring and time-consuming. This is the 21st century, and human ingenuity has produced a number of gadgets and gizmos that take the sweat out of spring cleaning. Here’s a rundown of 10 cutting-edge cleaning machines that will make your tidying painless.

Roborock S6

There are dozens of robot vacuums and mops on the market, but one of the most impressive is the Roborock S6. It performs wet and dry cleaning on a number of surface types, and it’s powerful enough to clean up pet hair and other debris. Optical sensors and lasers give it navigational power to handle the complex topography of your room, and it also accepts voice commands through Amazon’s Alexa. The Roborock S6 must be cleaned regularly, but the companion app tells you when it’s time for that to happen.

Gladwell Gecko Robot Window Cleaner

No matter what kind of room you have, it probably has at least one window. And windows get dirty. Instead of washing them yourself, get a Gladwell Gecko(Opens in a new window) automatic window cleaner and let this funky little device polish every inch of that glass to transparent perfection. An app for your phone lets you remotely command the Gecko, in case it’s missing a spot.

PhoneSoap HomeSoap

Thinking about the items you touch the most each day, your phone and other electronics are pretty high on the list. But cleaning and disinfecting these delicate devices can be a tricky task. Thankfully, other gadgets are designed specifically for that purpose. The PhoneSoap HomeSoap(Opens in a new window) is a portable chamber that uses UV-C light to kill germs and bacteria on the surface of your phones, game controllers, remotes, and more. It’s an effective and efficient way to get these items clean.

Rubbermaid Reveal

Scrubbing things is simply not fun or engaging, so why can’t machines do it for us? Rubbermaid’s Reveal(Opens in a new window) power scrubber is sort of like a turbocharged electric toothbrush that oscillates its scrubbing head 60 times per second. It’s designed to reach into annoying spots such as around the bottoms of fixtures and seams between tiles, saving your hands from cramping. The Reveal is the perfect tool for that final pass of sore spots in any room. Once it’s done the job, you can detach the head and wash it in your dishwasher.

Townew Self-Changing Trash Can

All that garbage has to go somewhere, but packing up a full bag and putting in a new one can be an annoyance. Thankfully, technology can reduce the pain of touching trash: Townew’s self-changing and self-cleaning can is stocked with bags, and when it’s time to pack one up, a simple button press has the mechanism seal up the full bag and prepare it for disposal in just three seconds. It puts in a fresh bag for your next load of garbage at the same time.

Cusipro Magnetic Spot Scrubber

Getting the inside of objects clean can be irritating, but luckily, a simple gadget makes wiping down vases, glasses, and other containers easier. The Cusipro(Opens in a new window) system pairs two magnets, one of which has a cleaning cloth attached to it. When you move the exterior magnet, the one inside the vessel wipes up the dirt and grime. No battery is required, so you can use it to your heart’s content.

Odistar Desktop Vacuum

Yes, you need a vacuum for your floor, but a fair amount of grit and grime winds up on your working surface as well. The Odistar Desktop Vacuum(Opens in a new window) is the perfect solution for crumbles and kibbles at your computer—it’s a palm-size cube that weighs about 4 ounces. You pick it up, turn it on, and brush it across your desk, table or other hard surface, and it suctions up dust and dirt. It’s not self-directed (how could it be, at this size and price point?), but it’ll only take a minute or two to clean just about any surface you put it on.

Giddel Toilet Robot

Cleaning toilets is one of the worst chores—you know what you do in there, and no matter how thick your gloves are, reaching into the bowl to scrub it is unpleasant. So why not have a robot do it? Giddel’s self-propelled toilet cleaner(Opens in a new window) mounts on the tank and features an array of brushes that thoroughly clean the rim, bowl, and top of the seat. Each brush uses a variety of motions to attack toilet grime. The Toilet Robot is easily rechargeable and portable, so you can use it for every bathroom in your house.

LHG Styler Steam Closet

Having piles of clothes sitting around is a major issue for a messy room, but who has time to go all the way to the washing machine? With the LG Styler Steam Closet(Opens in a new window), you take clothing—even items marked dry-clean only—hang them up in the machine, and start the cycle: Hot steam deodorizes and get rid of pesky wrinkles. This thing isn’t going to be able to get rid of ground-in dirt like a regular washing machine does, but if you’re not scrubbing and mopping your room yourself, you probably won’t get that dirty anyway.

HiTech Air Reactor

Many different models of air purifiers are on the market, but most of them operate in the same way—a fan sucks air in, and physical filters trap contaminant particles of various sizes. That’s all well and good, but they just hold the gunk instead of getting rid of it. The HiTech Air Reactor(Opens in a new window) uses photocatalytic oxidation to disintegrate the bad stuff at a molecular level, permanently banishing it from your living area. Sure, it’s a little more expensive than a basic Amazon model, but this kind of destruction is worth paying for.
