Help: What Kitchen & Bathroom Cleaning Supplies Do I Need?

Question

I'm a 21 year old male and living on my own for the first time. So far for my kitchen I have a broom with dust pan and then for my bathroom I have a plunger.

I'm only looking for things to keep the place clean such as the toilet, sink, shower, kitchen floor and counters. What supplies am I missing besides a mop and a toilet scrubber?

Answer 1

Windex, Ajax or Comet, liquid toilet bowl cleaner, dishwashing liquid (i like Dawn) and maybe a couple of those green scrubby pads......Also spick and span for the floors and something like mop and glo to keep the floors shiny.

Answer 2

Try buying 1 product that does a lot.
Like Clorox cleanup. It is a bleach containing product so it kills germs and you can use it in the kitchen, toliet, sinks, bathtub/ shower.
Also you need a product to mop the kitchen and bathroom floors with. Try looking for a "no rinse" product. Read labels.
You also need a vacuum by the way.
You should also buy WINDEX to clean mirrors and windows. Now you have 3 products to get everything done.

NOTE do not mix any products together especially ammonia based products with bleach because it causes a fatal fume if mixed. And only when mixed. You can use them NEAR each other but not mixed together.

Answer 3

I have been cleaning house for 36 years and I just now found a very good time saver and excellent piece of equipment. It is a steamer. I got it on a clearance sale for $9 and I do everything with this. Mirrors, windows, tile floor, ceramic tile, commode, tub, sink and even the chandolier. I am coming up with more and more things to use this machine on every and at $9 it can't be beat. No need for harsh cleaners either. Remember if you do get one get one with the attachments.

Answer 4

get thee to the dollar store!!! OK here is what i buy for cleaning supplies

Clorox wipes- cleans counters, toilets, sinks etc, and then you can just toss them!!!

Toilet cleaner

pinesol- floors, stinky garbage cans

409

Bar keepers friend- i use this to clean the stove

microfiber cloths for windows and mirrors

windex

a package of cheap toothbrushes- preferably ones that look VERY different from the one you use !!!

a dishpan- even if you have a dishwasher, these are great for holding water for rinsing if you are doing the stove, or for soaking dishes that have sat out too long

a bucket to keep it all in, and for mopping!!

Answer 5

I'd only add two products that SHOULD clean everything.....

Scrub Free (foaming shower, tub and toilet bowl cleaner)

Lysol All surface disenfecting cleaner. Cleans everything else and gets rid of germs!

One more thing, use an anti-bacterial pump soap for on your kitchen sink...

Answer 6

go buy a swiffer wet jet for spills and to clean the floor. a bottle of lysol will kill the germs in your kitchen and bathroom. you will need a dish rack for your kitchen and soap to wash dishes. i will suggest J clothes because they are disposable and cheap to replace rather than having to wash them. you will need a toilet scrubber and shower cleaner. that should cover ya. enjoy the new place!!

Ajax or Comet i love the scent of Ajax for bath lavatory sinks kitchen and loo non abrasive and bleach the most suitable fairly does the job and disinfects windex for mirrors and glass.Murphys Oil for furnishings or Pledge. White vinegar and water for mopping. Ceiling fan cleanser static type feather duster. Mr sparkling 3 n a million mop for bathtub bathe i take advantage of ajax on the suited at the same time as it runs out of its cleansing soap the suited and the mop are tremendous for bathe and bathtub. Mr bubbles automatic bathe cleanser fairly works properly to keep bathe and bathtub sparkling. once you've difficult water Lime Away to eliminate calcium mineral and rust. sturdy luck Oh and a bathroom brush!
