Cleaning Supplies Every Student Must Have
Get ready for freshers’ week with these essential cleaning supplies.
The days of cleaning your child’s room while they’re out with friends are about to be a thing of the past. That’s right, it’s almost freshers’ week!
While this is arguably the most exciting time in any young person’s life, it’s also one of the most stressful. Now, your not-so-little one is in charge of everything from getting their coursework done to keeping their new home clean. Luckily, the first step to a tidy room is having the right supplies.
In this blog post, the experts from Merry Maids UK break down the cleaning supplies every student must have.
Cleaning Supplies Every Fresher Needs
- Paper Towels: Paper towels are a university student’s best friend — they’re napkins, hand towels, dish rags, and about 20 other things. If you can, send your student off with a couple of rolls. Trust us, they’ll go fast!
- All-Purpose Cleaner: When in doubt, an all-purpose cleaner can tackle most messes.
- Disinfectant Wipes: Is your child not one to clean very often? Disinfectant wipes are the foolproof way to get a sparkling finish with just one product.
- Washing up Liquid: Even if your child’s university has a canteen, most students like to bring a few plates and cups with them for late-night snacks and cooking. Dishes are also a necessity for anyone moving into an off-campus house or apartment.
- Microfiber Cloth: Is your child sneezing throughout your weekly call? If so, it might not be because of their allergies. Paper towels don’t pick up dust as well as a microfiber cloth, so we suggest throwing one into your student’s bags. Encouraging them to use it just once or twice a week will go a long way in eliminating dust.
- Small Vacuum: A handheld or cordless vacuum should provide enough cleaning power for any bedroom or flat.
- Bin bags: There’s a good chance your child’s room will function as a bedroom, living room, dining room, and kitchen, which means they can never have enough bin bags.
- Laundry Detergent and Fabric Softener: If their washing facilities are on another floor of the house, lighten your child’s load (literally) by grabbing them some portable detergent.
