That said, there are a number of household cleaning products available that are designed to help you get the job done with less effort. Let’s take a look at some products which will not only make your life with arthritis easier but reduce the wear and tear on your body as well.
If so, a robotic vacuum may be the right solution. In addition to helping your joints, this product can be helpful in controlling indoor allergens if you have allergies (which, as happens when you have more than one medical condition, can compound your symptoms.) A robotic vacuum is also a plus if you have pets.
Robotic vacuums require little from you. Program it, recharge it and set it free to do the job. iAdapt Responsive Navigation Technology enables Roomba to find its way around any shape or size of a home.
A long handled dustpan and broom can make this activity simple again. With this tool you can clean up without bending over, making this a “must have” for people living with arthritis.
A self-propelled vacuum, however, can make vacuuming nearly effortless. No more strenuous pushing and pulling that leads to pain and can harm your joints further.
When this is the case, a Rubbermaid dual-action floor and carpet sweeper may be just the answer and can allow you to sweep your floors and carpets in a snap.
If you are limited in your bending and don’t really want to climb a ladder to get at your fans, here is a great solution.
Swiffer Dusters 360 Extendable Handle Starter Kit features a handle that extends three feet, with a pivoting head that can be adjusted and locked into place for cleaning just these surfaces.
