The right products can make cleaning your home that bit easier, and certainly more effective. Listed below are just some of the most helpful items that every cleaning kit should contain:
Microfiber cloths
These are a godsend for dusty homes, and are so much more effective than dusters, especially the feathered kind. Because they attract and retain the dust, you can get your home dust-free that bit quicker, and avoid simply shifting the dust from a to b as you go around your home. You can even wipe up liquid messes and wash windows with them.
Heavy duty cleaning sponges
When you buy the household sponges that have a soft side and a tougher, more abrasive side, you can clean all manner of stains and spillages effectively. Also, you can reuse them by simply throwing them in with your next load of washing, or soaking them in bleach for an hour to sanitize them.
The magic of an eraser!
Moms especially swear by these magic erasers, as they work wonders on crayon stains on walls! Because it’s made of melamine and is ever so slightly abrasive, it can tackle even the toughest of stains without damaging the wall or surface beneath.
Steamer mops
These are an affordable way to help reduce the bacterial count in your home, and keep your entire household safe from potentially harmful bugs and bacteria. Not only that, but they can make your floors shine like new!
An antibacterial all-purpose cleaner
Destroying 99.9% of all bacteria, antibacterial cleaning products can be safely used all over your home, on floors, kitchen and bathroom surfaces, stainless steel and windows. And during the ongoing health crisis, these are proving more useful and important than ever before.
Handheld dustpan and brush
These might not be new fangled and modern, but they’re just as useful now as they were when first invented many years ago. An essential item in anyone’s cleaning kit, a dustpan and brush can be extremely useful for small cleaning jobs that don’t require a vacuum cleaner – or you can’t be bothered to get it out and plug it in! Many of these small sets can even be hung up somewhere for better storage and easy access.
An extendable microfiber duster
These are fantastic for reaching all those areas of your home that you can’t get to with your arms alone. Cobwebs can be cleaned away, and dust can be removed effectively from the tops of cabinets and shelves.
White vinegar
So versatile, white vinegar has been used in household cleaning products for decades, and the experts say it’s one of the best cleaning products around. Cheap and easy to find, it effectively gets rid of bad smells, can shine glass and cut through tough grease.
Glass spray bottles
These are a more environmentally alternative to plastic spray bottles, and can be used to keep any cleaning solution in for easy and effective use.
Or, why not ditch your cleaning kit altogether and use the services of a professional cleaning agency, who will have their own kit filled with highly effective, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies to get your home spotlessly clean, fast!
