Must-have cleaning supplies<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Vacuum cleaner<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

To pick up all the dust, hair, and other dirt from the floor, using a vacuum cleaner is the most efficient and effective way to do so. This step prepares the floor for a good mop thereafter, to make it squeaky clean.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re the traditional type and prefer to use a broom, sure. But we believe using a vacuum cleaner would be quicker and more thorough.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One thing to note is to make sure your vacuum cleaner is fully charged if you\u2019re using a wireless one. You don\u2019t want the vacuum cleaner to run out of battery when the helper\u2019s not done vacuuming the entire house.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Mop<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

After your helper has finished vacuuming the floor, the next step would be mopping. There are a couple more common ones in the market such as rag mops, roller mops, and steam mops. But it doesn\u2019t really matter which one you prefer, as long as you have a mop at home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re thinking of getting your helper to use a cloth to \u201chand mop\u201d the entire house, please don\u2019t. Not only is it tiring, but it is also time-consuming.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Pails<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When it comes to cleaning, you\u2019ll definitely need a couple of pails. One with a handle would be great so that your helper can carry it around instead of always walking back and forth to the bathroom to rinse the mop or cloth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With the Style Degree Pail and Bucket 3 piece set<\/a>, you’ll have a variety of pails and buckets for all your needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Cloths<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is advisable to prepare a few different cloths for different uses. For example, look out for microfibre or anti-scratch cloths like this one<\/a> from Style Degree for cleaning windows and glass panels as they are soft enough and don\u2019t leave streaks.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For general cleaning of other surfaces such as tabletops and cupboards, a normal cloth would do.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Also, you might want to have separate cloths for the kitchen and the rest of the house. Cloths used in the kitchen are dirtier and oilier and you wouldn\u2019t want to transfer the grime to other surfaces of your home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

5. Bathroom brushes<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The bathroom is a dirty area and needs its own set of cleaning tools. Minimally, you should have a toilet bowl brush and a brush for the floor and walls.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You wouldn\u2019t want to use the same brush that was used to clean the toilet bowl to scrub your floor and walls, right\u2026<\/em>?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For the toilet floor and walls, you can get a brush with a slightly longer handle to make it more efficient and easy to use.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

6. Cleaning products<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\"\"<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Last but definitely not the least, you\u2019ll need a range of cleaning products. After all, cleaning with just water and some cleaning tools wouldn\u2019t be clean enough.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some basic cleaning products are:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
