Compare the top 3 picks in Australia 2026

For a new home, start with three basics from our picks. The Kleantoday microfibre cloths come as a pack of 12 in four colours (sky blue, yellow, green and pink), so you can keep one colour per room and avoid wiping the bathroom with the kitchen cloth. They are listed as 280 GSM microfibre, and the maker says each cloth handles up to 1,200 machine washes.

For hard floors, the Sulfar spray mop has a refillable bottle, listed at 350 ml, that sprays water when you press the handle, and it comes with two reusable microfibre pads, so one can be in the wash while you use the other.

The Xtra Kleen caddy is an empty plastic carry caddy with a handle. Use it to carry your cleaning supplies from room to room on move in day.

One honest limitation: these three are everyday basics, not specialist gear. If you are moving into a newly built or renovated home, builder's dust, paint splatter and hard water marks may need specialist products on top.
