A mop for your walls? This spring cleaning savior exists, and it's down to $40
In less than a week, spring will officially make its grand entrance — and we can't say we're sad to see winter go. Bring on the tulips and frolicking bunnies! Of course, there's also ... spring cleaning. Let's get that out of the way early this year, yeah? You've probably got the standard chores like decluttering cabinets, cleaning grout and scrubbing the toilet on your to-do list. But when was the last time you cleaned your walls? It's not a task many of us think of, but it can really help your house sparkle. The extendable Chomp CleanWalls Tool has taken social media by storm thanks to its ability to get into high corners with ease, and it's on sale for $40.
According to our price trackers, this cleaning gizmo hasn't dipped much lower in over a 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.
Clocking in at under 1.5 pounds, the Chomp CleanWalls Tool is lightweight, yet extends as much as 5 feet to tackle hard-to-reach areas. It also comes with two reusable heads — one wet mitt and one dry — for targeting everything from stains and grime to dust and cobwebs. 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.
Need more convincing that the Chomp CleanWalls Tool belongs in your cart? Here's what some of its 5,600 (and counting) five-star fans have to say.
"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!"
"I fell for it. I did. I got sucked in but this turned out to be one of those things that you never knew you needed," said another squeaky-clean shopper. "We have wood stoves and 11-foot ceilings. I was easily able to reach right up and get the crown moldings without getting a ladder. Phew. Oh and the cobwebs. I sprayed a little wall cleaner directly on the pad and went to work. Glad I got this. The kitchen ceiling is next."
"I am a smoker, and when I moved out of my apartment, I used the Chomp spray with this," shared a third fan. "After I got done cleaning the walls, you couldn't tell I smoked in there. No smoke residue or discolored walls. When the inspector inspected the apartment, he couldn't even tell I smoked in there. This wall cleaner mop with the Chomp cleaner works wonders."
One shopper had a fair critique of this doodad. "Wish it came with a twist-up and pull-out extension pole," they wrote. "It's too much to have to take the pole apart and [put it] back together to use."
A final reviewer said the handle could be sturdier. "If you don't make sure that the handle is on snugly, it will come undone," they warned. "[The] handle can break easily, [and the] plastic attachment may break easily if applying too much pressure when washing your walls."
P.S. Rather than shoving your new favorite wall cleaner (and all of your brooms) into a crammed closet, keep 'em neat and out of the way with this wall-mounted holder:

Italians vote on citizenship and job protections amid low awareness and turnout concerns - International
Italians vote over two days starting Sunday on referendums that would make it easier for children born in Italy to foreign parents to obtain citizenship, and on providing more job protections. But apparent low public awareness risks rendering the vote invalid if turnout is not high enough. Campaigners for the change in the citizenship law say it will help second-generation Italians born in the country to non-European Union parents better integrate into a culture they already see as theirs. Italian singer Ghali, who was born in Milan to Tunisian parents, urged people to vote in an online post, noting that the referendum risks failure if at least 50% plus one of eligible voters don't turn out. 'I was born here, I always lived here, but I only received citizenship at the age of 18,'' Ghali said, urging a yes vote to reduce the residency requirement from 10 to five years. The new rules, if passed, could affect about 2.5 million foreign nationals who still struggle to be recognised as citizens. The measures were proposed by Italy's main union and left-wing opposition parties. Premier Giorgia Meloni has said she would show up at the polls but not cast a ballot — an action widely criticised by the left as antidemocratic, since it will not help reach the necessary threshold to make the vote valid. 'While some members of her ruling coalition have openly called for abstention, Meloni has opted for a more subtle approach,' said analyst Wolfango Piccoli of the Teneo consultancy based in London. 'It's yet another example of her trademark fence-sitting.'' Rights at stake Supporters say this reform would bring Italy's citizenship law in line with many other European countries, promoting greater social integration for long-term residents. It would also allow faster access to civil and political rights, such as the right to vote, eligibility for public employment and freedom of movement within the EU. 'The real drama is that neither people who will vote 'yes' nor those who intend to vote 'no' or abstain have an idea of what (an) ordeal children born from foreigners have to face in this country to obtain a residence permit,' said Selam Tesfaye, an activist and campaigner with the Milan-based human rights group 'Il Cantiere.' 'Foreigners are also victims of blackmail, as they can't speak up against poor working conditions, exploitation and discrimination, due to the precariousness of the permit of stay,' she added. Activists and opposition parties also denounced the lack of public debate on the measures, accusing the governing centre-right coalition of trying to dampen interest in sensitive issues that directly impact immigrants and workers. In May, Italy's AGCOM communications authority complained about RAI state television and other broadcasters for a lack of adequate and balanced coverage. 'This referendum is really about dignity and the right to belong, which is key for many people who were born here and spent most of their adult life contributing to Italian society. For them, a lack of citizenship is like an invisible wall,' said Michelle Ngonmo, a cultural entrepreneur and advocate for diversity in the fashion industry, who has lived most of her life in Italy after moving as a child from Cameroon. 'You are good enough to work and pay taxes, but not to be fully recognised as Italian. This becomes a handicap for young generations, particularly in the creative field, creating frustration, exclusion and a big waste of potential,' she said. The four other referendums aim to roll back labour reforms, making it harder to fire some workers and increasing compensation for those laid off by small businesses, reversing a previous law passed by a centre-left government a decade ago. One of the questions on the ballot also addresses the urgent issue of security at work, restoring joint liability to both contractors and subcontractors for workplace injuries. Many expected to abstain from voting Opinion polls published in mid-May showed that only 46% of Italians were aware of the issues driving the referendums. Turnout projections were even weaker for a vote scheduled for the first weekend of Italy's school holidays, at around 35% of around 50 million electors, well below the required quorum. 'Many believe that the referendum institution should be reviewed in light of the high levels of abstention (that) emerged in recent elections and the turnout threshold should be lowered," said Lorenzo Pregliasco, political analyst and pollster at YouTrend. Some analysts note, however, that the centre-left opposition could claim a victory even if the referendum fails on condition that the turnout surpasses the 12.3 million voters who backed the winning centre-right coalition in the 2022 general election.

Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce to Open in Benghazi
The Italian-Libyan Chamber of Commerce plans to open a new office in Benghazi to strengthen its cooperation with local business stakeholders, according to the Chamber's President Nicola Colicchi. Speaking to Italy's Nova news agency, Colicchi emphasized that the initiative aims to foster stable partnerships between Italian and Libyan small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). 'We are working in close harmony with Libyan institutions,' he noted, adding that the goal is to create a collaborative business environment that facilitates knowledge and technology exchange and supports outreach to African markets where Libya is already active. Benghazi to Host Italian-Libyan Economic Forum The announcement comes as Benghazi prepares to host the Italian-Libyan Economic Forum from 24 to 27 June, with the participation of Italian companies seeking expansion opportunities in Libya. Colicchi stressed that economic development is a critical pathway to achieving political stability in Libya. 'When local communities start benefiting from an integrated economy, it helps heal internal political divisions,' he said. He also voiced support for holding swift national elections, calling for a strong economic development push alongside diplomatic efforts to reunify the country. Italy Reinforces Presence Amid Global Competition Ettore Rosato, Vice President of the Italian-Libyan Parliamentary Friendship Group, stated that bolstering Italy's presence in Libya is crucial in the face of strong international competition. 'Italy must strengthen its ties with Libya to avoid losing more influence to competitors like Turkey and Russia,' Rosato warned. In a sign of growing bilateral engagement, the Italian Consulate General in Benghazi recently hosted a Republic Day celebration attended by over 450 guests, including Libyan officials, institutional representatives, and business leaders. Francesco Saverio De Luigi, the Italian Consul General in Benghazi, noted a sharp rise in Italian activity in eastern Libya, citing the issuance of over 4,000 visas in 2024 and the resumption of direct flights to Rome as evidence of normalization and renewed cooperation. Italy's Ambassador to Libya, Gianluca Alberini, reaffirmed that Italy remains Libya's top trading partner, with bilateral trade surpassing €8.6 billion in 2024. He also welcomed the reintroduction of Italian language courses in Libyan public schools and the allocation of 100 scholarships to Libyan students by 2025—the highest number across Italy's entire diplomatic network.
