Spring has sprung! And so has pollen, and little feet tracking in dirt from outdoor adventures and, well, you get the picture. There’s a reason spring cleaning is a thing — after being cooped up all winter, everyone wants to bring the outdoors in as soon as the weather warms up. But you’ve gotta take the good with the bad, and that means accepting the fact that bringing the indoors in means you might have to tidy up a bit more frequently.
Fortunately, we live in a technologically advanced age. We haven’t quite reached Rosie the Robot Maid level yet, but we can’t be far off, right? Sure, our tech gadgets might not be capable of the same level of communication as ol’ Rosie. They can pretty much do everything else, though.
Case in point? The following top tech gadgets of 2019 will make light work of your spring cleaning so you can spend less time sweeping and scrubbing and more time having fun.

Dyson V6 Handheld Cordless Mattress Vacuum
Can we all agree that cleaning your mattress is the most awkward thing?

Having a Dyson V6 handheld mattress vacuum makes it far more likely you’ll be up for the task, since it makes doing so simple. It boasts a HEPA filter system and digital motor strong up to suck up dirt, mites, allergens and any other gross stuff hiding beneath your sheets.
