Best Cleaning Cart Essentials:
1. Glass Cleaning Spray Bottles
Glass spray bottles are one of the best hacks to make all of your cleaners look organized and cohesive anywhere in your home. You have to be careful with these ones since they’re glass, but if you’re a Type A perfectionist (guilty) these glass cleaning spray bottles will immediately make your cleaning cart look 10x better.
2. Microfibre Cleaning Cloths
These might seem weird, but trust me they’re actually super helpful. I can’t promise you won’t look goofy wearing these, but they’re super efficient when it comes to cleaning your floors, and dare I say fun.
You’ll be simultaneously grossed out and amazed with how much dirt these pick up.
3. Adhesive Hooks
Depending on the cart you’re using, you might need some extra room. You can attach these hooks onto the side of your cart and hang towels off of them to make more room for your sprays and other gadgets.
4. Silicone Dustpan Set
A dustpan is a tried and true cleaning essential when it comes to getting those crumbs and cleaning up spills in the kitchen. Go around your table with this after a meal (especially if you had kids) and watch just how much your dustpan picks up.
If you’re going to get a dustpan, silicone over plastic is the way to go.
5. Multipurpose Cleaner
A good multipurpose cleaner will save you from having to buy a ton of different cleaners for different surfaces. They’re a great everyday cleaner that you can use on pretty much anything, although nothing will clean glass as well as Windex or a traditional glass cleaner.
6. Glass Storage Jars
If you don’t have a laundry room or are working with a small space, you might want to use your cleaning cart to store laundry items as well. These glass storage jars are my favorite for storing items like laundry pods and the smelly beads (I don’t know the technical term haha).
These are also great organizers for the pantry. If you want to up your organization game with these, get some printed labels or use a whiteboard marker to label the jar directly.
7. Shower Squeegee
This might seem like a strange thing to keep on your cleaning cart, but don’t underestimate the power of a squeegee. When you’re cleaning large surfaces, this will help you get any of the extra water or cleaner off of the counter and into your sink or bucket.
Of course, it’s also a shower staple. If you want to have perfectly clean glass in your shower, do yourself a favor and grab a squeegee. It will do wonders.
8. Microfibre Dusting Gloves
Dusting is one of those things you either love or hate. Either way, you want to make sure you’re getting in all of the nooks and crannies. I’ve found these gloves are super helpful for getting in those small crevices and oddly shaped places to make sure you’re really getting a good clean.
9. Heavy Duty Cleaning Brush
This is by no means a fancy gadget, but sometimes all you need is a good scrub brush to really remove all of the grime and buildup. This one is especially good for cleaning your bathroom.
10. Bar Keeper’s Friend
If there is one thing in this post that I can convince you is worth it, let it be this one. I kid you not, when all else fails, this cleaner will get rid of those stains.
It’s a holy grail product that every home and apartment owner should keep close by. You can thank me later. 😉
11. Electric Spin Scrubber
When it comes to cleaning tiles, this will be your best friend. It’s also great for cleaning the kitchen sink and doing a thorough job. You also won’t have to put a ton of elbow grease into cleaning when you’re using this brush, it does a lot of the work for you.
12. Clear Glass Spray Bottles
If you want a basic glass cleaning bottle to put your products in to make it look extra organized and aesthetic, these ones come in a pack and are a great affordable option. You can’t deny, everything looks better in glass organizers.
13. Organization Labels
Labels, labels, labels. It’s super simple, but I promise you, once you start labeling things, you won’t be able to stop. These make finding what you’re looking for so much easier.
Plus, there is something about printed labels that ties everything together and makes it look like someone professionally organized your house.
14. Microfibre Duster
Microfibre dusters are a great go-to when you’re dusting shelves, fans, and those tall furniture pieces. We may not be able to see what lies on top of that one bookshelf in our living room, but it definitely needs a good clean every once in a while.
15. Portable Vacuum
Vacuuming can seem like a really tedious task. But when you go around the house every other day cleaning up the crumbs and lingering dirt with a small vacuum, it will make maintaining a clean home a lot easier.
Keep this one on hand for small messes and spills. With a vacuum this cute, you won’t mind the cleaning as much. 🙂
16. Stain Remover
Every cleaning cart needs a good stain remover. No one can escape stains, they’re inevitable. This one works wonders and will be the first thing you reach for when you notice a spot on your shirt or a stain on the tablecloth. Works every time!
17. Hand Sanitizing Wipes Kit
As a quick clean, I like to go around with a sanitizing wipe on my surfaces a couple of times a week. It helps prevent any buildup and come time for your weekly deep clean, you’ll notice you won’t have to spend as much time on the counters.
18. Microfibre Cloth Rolls
These are super cool! Microfibre cloths are definitely a lot more effective than your regular old paper towel. They’re also reusable so you can throw them in the wash and keep using them.
If you want something more absorbent when cleaning, these are the way to go.
19. Cleaning Gloves
Gloves are a cleaning must! Even with natural cleaners, your hands can get irritated and that beautiful manicure will definitely lose its polished finish. They’re a good extra precaution, especially when you’re getting on your hands and knees scrubbing the grout in the bathroom haha.
20. Waffle Cleaning Cloths
It’s always good to keep some basic towels on hand that you can use on the daily. These ones are absorbent and also make for great dish towels. I’ve also noticed they hold up really well, despite me constantly using them and wearing them down.
21. Stain Brush
This brush is more in the laundry department, but you don’t want to overlook it. Somehow it works so much better than using a towel to scrub the stain out. It’s like a big toothbrush that gently works the fabric to get the stains out.
This is something you should use before sticking your stained items in the washer. I’ve never had a stain not come out after using this.
22. Utility Rolling Cart
Of course, you can’t have a cleaning cart without the cart itself. This first one is a great basic that is super easy to put together (I promise it won’t drive you up the wall like some other organizers you have to build haha) and has ample room for all of your supplies.
If you want something that fits in a tight space, the second choice won’t take up much space and will still give you enough room to store the basics.
