Picture of Housecleaning Kit - Tipnut.comOne of the secrets to efficient house cleaning is to cart around your own customized cleaning kit from room to room, this saves you time since you have everything you need at hand.

As common sense as it sounds, this isn’t something that occured to me until FlyLady caught my attention a few years ago, she has a lot of good tips and I very much recommend the system (it’s free!). The kit was also recently suggested in How To Clean Like A Maid.

For the housecleaning kit itself, you can use a bucket, a plastic caddy, a box or whip yourself up a housekeeping apron to stick everything in. Using an apron is especially helpful when decluttering at the same time you’re cleaning since you can free up an arm to cart around an empty box to fill up from room to room (you can find a couple free patterns here for housekeeping aprons).

Here’s a list of supplies to pack in your own kit, feel free to add your own ideas below :).

Housecleaning Kit - Supply List

I’m not a heavy sponge user, but they can’t be beat in the bathroom around the toilet and the floor (in my opinion), just remember to clean them well.

Once you’re done cleaning, remove anything that needs to be chucked out or washed, restock what’s needed, then store the cleaning kit away with all the cleaning tools and supplies left in the kit. The next time you need to clean, your kit is ready to go.

The trick with a house cleaning kit is that you pack everything in your kit that you would use or need for cleaning your house, while at the same time not packing it so full of stuff that it’s a burden to carry around.
