Essential Household Cleaning Supplies

 

Which household cleaning supplies you need usually depends on the type of home you have and the type of lifestyle you live. It also depends a lot on whether you have small children in your home or grown children. The size of your home also plays a part. If you live in a spacious home with large areas of tile or composite-wood floors, you will need large area dust mops, a good wet mop and bucket set, and a good disinfecting cleaner to put into your mop bucket.  You may also need an electric buffer if your floors are waxed or if you want them to look their best.

If you have two or three floors and the house has no elevators, then you will probably want to keep one set of cleaning equipment on each floor in a utility closet near a bathroom or at least a large water sink with a short hose to fill and empty your buckets.

For smaller homes or standard 3 bedroom 2 bath homes, most people feel comfortable keeping their cleaning supplies organized in the garage or an outside tool shed near the garage. Simple flat floor mops with cleaning heads are usually good enough for most kitchens and bathrooms in homes of this size. An ample supply of cleaning cloths or rags comes in very handy. Standard spray disinfectants and cleansers will work for most grease spills near stoves and ovens. Just be sure to have a good supply of labeled sprayers so you can tell which cleaner you put in each bottle sprayer. 

Purchasing highly concentrated cleansers is usually your best buy in cleaning products. You just pour a cap or two of the concentrate into a spray bottle, fill it with water, shake it, spray it and wipe it up with a cleaning cloth or towel. If you have small children in your home, you should probably spend a little extra and get the green cleansers that won\'t poison your children should they happen to begin drinking some of it. Amway has some as well as other companies. Look in your phone directory in your local area and you should be able to find several.  

Your local Home Depot or Lowe\'s will also be a good place to purchase household cleansers and mops as well as other cleaning supplies. Sam\'s Clubs or Costco are also good places to get professional cleaning supplies and mops, buckets and other items you may need for cleaning. Walmart will carry cleaning supplies but often in more expensive retail sizes. 

The lowest cost cleaning supplies may be the ones you find online however. eBay often has household cleaning items for sale at excellent prices. Other newer auction sites such as Big Value Depot or Big Ticket Depot may have just the items you\'re looking for at even lower prices than eBay. It\'s all a matter of shopping around. Tripleclicks is also a place worth looking into.

Whichever way you choose to find good cleaning supplies, always plan in advance for what you need.
