Since house chores are a little bit more of a challenge after an injury I thought a thread to post tips and tools for how to clean those not so easy to reach areas might be helpful. I'll list out the helpful things that I've learned over the years and hope that you will share your tips too.
Bathroom-
Long handled adjustable scrub brush to clean the shower. I spray it down with cleaner first and let it set and then use the long handled brush to scrub.
Bathroom mirrors are a challenge so I use a long handled squiggy similar to what you would use on your windshield at the gas station. Works great. Those bathroom sink counter tops are difficult to reach over to clean those mirrors so the long handled squiggy is a huge help for me.
Floors-
I use a long armed scrub brush like you see at car washes. It helps loosen the dirt and prevents me from bending over. After the scrubbing I use a regular mop to clean the surface.
I have a roomba robotic vaccum cleaner that I run daily as maintenance and then once a week I use the broom and mop. The roomba makes life much easier.
Hope you can share some of your tips too that we can all learn from.
