SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Cleaner spaces are healthier spaces, especially for those who are allergy-conscious, or who have pets or small children. Consider these smart upgrades and devices to simplify deep cleaning, and feel happier and more comfortable in your home:
Touchless faucets: To improve hygiene and eliminate cleaning tasks, consider smart, touchless faucets for your kitchen and bathroom sinks. Today’s choices include not only ultra-modern designs, but classic looks as well to suit every preference. With this upgrade, you can anticipate seamless food preparation and cleaner, healthier surfaces in high-traffic areas, mitigating the spread of germs. The latest models are also resistant to mineral buildup, reducing the need for long-term maintenance, and feature swivel spouts that rotate, helping you maintain soap and food residue-free sinks.
Cleaner floors, less effort: It’s time to ditch your standard vacuum and mop. The new FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam from Tineco is simplifying cleaning into a single, efficient routine with less manual effort, setting a new gold standard in smart floor care. Combining vacuuming, mopping and 284 degree F steam cleaning, this one machine eliminates sticky, stubborn messes on hard and sealed floors, while sanitizing surfaces for a more hygienic home. In fact, internal testing shows its steam function loosens and removes 99.9% of common bacteria, without the need for a cleaning solution, making it a choice those with young children or pets can feel good about.
Designed to maximize reach, the 180-degree lay-flat design with triple-sided edge cleaning allows for easy access of corners, and gets under heavy, hard-to-move furniture with ease. Plus, it incorporates innovative technology inspired by car gear systems for maximum flexibility. A cleverly placed clean water tank lowers the center of gravity, lightening the machine for effortless maneuverability. Easy to use, its smart features adjust suction power and water flow automatically to simplify cleaning decisions and extend battery life, delivering up to 75 minutes of runtime so you can clean the whole house on a single charge. And when you’re done, the FlashDry system self-cleans and dries the unit in minutes, eliminating the manual maintenance typically required of machines with similar features.
Tineco has sold over 19 million smart cleaning appliances globally, making it a trusted leader in smart floor care. To learn more, visit amazon.com.
Natural air purification: Indoor gardening is not only a major aesthetic upgrade, some houseplants actually measurably improve indoor air quality and help manage mold growth. For cleaner, healthier air, pair a high-quality air purifier with some carefully placed greenery in your various living spaces. For example, a good choice for bedrooms are snake plants, which remove toxins like formaldehyde and xylene from the air while releasing oxygen and moisture for better breathing at night. Whereas spider plants are great for kitchens and bathrooms, as they can help fight mold in these humid rooms. If you have pets or suffer from allergies, add an Areca palm to the living room to help trap allergens.
