A mop for your walls? Yes, this viral invention exists, and it's down to $40

We all dread certain chores — think decluttering cabinets, cleaning grout, scrubbing the toilet. Then there are those we tend to ignore altogether, like cleaning the walls. Well, no need to be apprehensive. You don’t have to chase every cobweb and spot-treat each smudge — just wipe everything down with a wall mop! The extendable Chomp CleanWalls Tool has taken social media by storm thanks to its ability to get into corners with ease. It’s on sale for $40 at Amazon.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

According to our price trackers, this cleaning gizmo hasn’t dipped any lower all year, so if your walls could use some love, now would be a smart time to buy. Plus, you won’t have to spend money on replacement heads every time you use it — the two it comes with are washable.

Why do I need this? 🤔

Clocking in at less than 1.5 pounds, the Chomp CleanWalls Tool is lightweight, yet extends as much as 5 feet to tackle those hard-to-reach areas in your home. It also comes with two reusable heads — one wet mitt and one dry — for targeting everything from stains and grime to dust. We love a versatile cleaning gadget!

Just spritz some household cleaner onto the mitt (FYI, the brand has its own wall cleaner spray, sold separately). Then, go to town on unsightly marks and dust bunnies. The head’s unique teardrop shape easily slides into corners and the grooves of molding and baseboards. Want to see it in action? Check out this TikTok, which shows it removing years’ worth of orange stains from a smoker’s house. When it’s time to clean the heads, just toss them in the washer — take that, Swiffer!

What reviewers say 💬

Need more convincing that the Chomp CleanWalls Tool belongs in your cart? Here’s what some of its 5,400 (and counting) five-star fans have to say.

Pros 👍

“I saw this product on social media and had to have it!” exclaimed an enthusiastic user. “It saves my back and I clean my walls a lot more now! No cobwebs in my house! [It] works great at getting in all the corners of my rooms. I only have 8-foot ceilings, but it keeps me from reaching or getting on a ladder to clean my walls!”

“Major time-saver!” raved another impressed shopper. “It takes me forever to wipe down my walls. I usually use a Magic Eraser. This device decreases my cleaning time by 90%. I can have a wall done in seconds. Not only does it cover a lot of surface area, but it reaches every crevice!”

“I love how it works, just have to find a place to keep it when not being used,” wrote a final fan. “Trying to make housework easier and faster, but I’m collecting a lot of tools I don’t have room for.” (Keep scrolling for a solution!)

Cons 👎

One shopper had a fair critique of this doodad. “Wish it came with a twist-up and pull-out extension pole,” the reviewer wrote.

Another reviewer said the handle could be sturdier. “If you don’t make sure that the handle is on snugly, it will come undone,” the shopper said. “[The] handle can break easily, [and the] plastic attachment may break easily if applying too much pressure when washing your walls.”

Thank your step stool for its service, but let it know it probably won’t be needed this year.

“Such a space-saver!” exclaimed one happy customer. “My house is small with very little storage, so I need to find creative ways to make storage. This device is great at organizing brooms, Swiffer WetJets and many other things neatly so they’re not all jumbled in a corner falling over each other.”
