I spent this past weekend spring cleaning my apartment with some help from my bestie Alexa. Amazon's smart assistant is one of my most essential everyday tools. I keep an Echo in every room to control the best smart home devices, act as an intercom to talk to my family, and remind me of tasks such as taking the trash bins out to the street on Sunday and Wednesday nights.
My Echo Dot ($49, Amazon) is indispensable when it comes to cleaning. Most people simply use their smart speaker to play music while they clean. Some might even use them to control the best smart lights. However, Echo smart speakers and smart displays are capable of so much more. Here's 5 ways how a smart assistant can help you be more efficient and make your chores more convenient.
