There are various tools designed for different cleaning tasks and stages of the cleaning process, such as dusting tools like microfiber cloths and feather dusters for removing dust, sweeping tools like brooms for cleaning floors, and wet cleaning tools like mops, buckets, and sponges for wiping surfaces.
