Clean Out Dust and Debris from Your Garage with These Top-Rated Tools

This duster is great for cleaning off windows, your toolbox, and the top of the old garage fridge. The microfiber head grabs dust and holds on, while the handle can extend to 100 inches for awesome reachability.

For small messes or dirt around the edges, we like this dust pan and broom set. It’s nothing fancy, and the broom is designed to handle concrete. As a bonus, the dust pan is made with a rugged plastic and features a hands-free dumping system. 

If you need a broom with more reach, try out this extendable sweeper. The aluminum telescopic handle can be adjusted from 32  to 53 inches—perfect for knocking cobwebs from the rafters and sweeping without bending over.

If you’re trying to move a good amount of dirt, a push broom does it best. We like this one from Rubbermaid, as it features a neat push-to-center brush design. The steel handle and reinforced supporting yoke help it hold up to repeated use.

If you just got done washing your garage floor, it’s time to get that water out. This squeegee features a curved head that helps keep the water in front of you without it spilling over the side. The large blade measures 24 inches wide, which helps speed the job along.

If your garage floor needs a bit of scrubbing, give this garage-grade sponge mop a try. It comes with a built-in brush, squeegee, and two extra sponges. Your garage will be sparkly clean in no time.

This cool blue shop vac from Vacmaster does everything well. The 12-gallon tank comes with a handy drain at the bottom to easily empty any liquids you’ve sucked up. The detachable blower can deliver 210-mph blowing power to clear out any light debris back outside to its natural habitat. 

If sweeping and scrubbing sounds like too much work, just try blowing the dirt and leaves out with this kit from Black & Decker. The blower utilizes a 20V battery and can produce an air speed of 130 mph. 

If you have an oil leak in your garage, this is the stuff to use. Like kitty litter, Oil-Dri absorbs moisture. Pour some on the mess and let it sit for a day or two for best results. You’ll want to periodically stir the stuff on the spill to get maximum absorption. Also, make sure to wear a mask when using this, as the dust can be harmful to inhale. 

Once the oil is cleaned up, use this professional-grade oil cleaner to get rid of the stain. The nontoxic degreaser lifts the oil particles right out of the concrete. Dilute with water to adjust the strength.
