Living in a tiny apartment comes with its benefits; one of them is how easy it is to keep your small space fresh and clean. Make yourself at home with the following cleaning essentials in your apartment cleaning kit for a spotless-looking home.
House Cleaning Supplies
Wood cleaner to polish furniture and keep dust at bay on vents, ceiling fans, and the like. Glass cleaner make your own with a couple of tablespoons of white vinegar and three cups of water. Dish soap which can be used as a spot cleaner for carpets and furniture by simply adding a few drops to a cup of water. To get the odor out of your carpet mix a solution of baking soda with lemon juice.
You will need an all-purpose grease cutter to clean the stove, countertop, and handles on the fridge. A mild abrasive cleaner with bleach for the bathroom to get your sink, shower, toilet, and grout sparkling clean.
Mop and Bucket
No home should be without a trusty mop and pail. Again, there are many to choose from at varying prices. If you buy one with a detachable pad, make sure it is washable.
Broom
One of the most basic tools of floor cleaning is using brooms. There are many options to choose from when buying one of these. Buy a small interlocking broom and dustpan as it is a better option for small living space. You have killed two birds with one stone.
Rags
It is better to buy cleaning rags in bulk as they are much less expensive than paper towels.
Sponges
In between washing dishes, cleaning in the bathroom, and washing down appliances, each task should have sponges to get the job done and easily avoid cross-contamination.
Toilet Brush
If you want to make sure your bathroom looks its best and keep bacteria from building up inside the bowl then getting the right brush for your toilet is essential. A good toilet brush lets you clean under the lip of the bowl to scrub out the grime that you can’t see and covers a wide enough area that it won’t take forever to eliminate it on display.
Bleach
Every home has germs. Make sure to use bleach diluted with water and while wearing gloves. It can be used to wipe down many surfaces and it kills bacteria. Never mix it with ammonia as that will create a noxious gas.
