8 Essential Cleaning Tools and Materials for Your Fleet Home 

As professional house cleaners in Fleet, we’re here to provide specialist cleaning services to keep your home in great shape. But what do you do between visits? 

Having a fully stocked cupboard of cleaning tools and materials will come in handy when surprise guests or messy accidents come around. So, we’ve shared a list of the essentials you’ll need to tackle most household chores. 

Vacuum cleaner 

Most people will already have a vacuum cleaner at home. But did you know they can help you do way more than just cleaning floors? These versatile machines often come with different attachments that can help you clean everything from mattresses to radiators.  

Toilet brush 

Cleaning toilets isn’t a particularly pleasant job, but it is crucial to keeping a hygienic home. The best way to make sure the process is as easy as possible is to keep a toilet brush next to the toilet unit. This encourages people to clean up after themselves and will come in handy when you need to conduct a deeper scrub.  

Rubber gloves 

Speaking of unpleasant cleaning jobs… Rubber gloves should be a staple of your cleaning tool drawer. They protect your hands from chemicals and germs, helping you stay safe and comfortable as you go about your domestic tasks. 

Microfibre cloths 

These cloths are incredibly versatile, reusable and far more effective than disposable cloth alternatives. From dusting surfaces to wiping mirrors and walls, you need these washable rags in your kit.  

Dish soap 

Dish soap is great for washing plates, cutlery and cooking utensils because it cuts through grease. As a result, it can also come in handy for a range of other cleaning tasks—from laminate floors to jewellery, fabrics, and outdoor furniture.  

Baking soda 

Baking soda is a fantastic multi-purpose cleaning solution. It’s a natural, mild abrasive, perfect for lightly scrubbing surfaces without damaging them. Baking soda can also help remove odours from carpets and upholstery. Plus, when combined with white vinegar, it can make an eco-friendly drain unblocker for your kitchen and bathrooms.  

White vinegar 

White vinegar is another affordable food ingredient that’s worth adding to your cleaning tools and materials cupboard. It’s amazing for cleaning glass, softening fabrics (as an alternative to chemical softeners), steam-cleaning microwaves, disinfecting countertops and more. 

Laundry detergent 

Laundry detergent is useful for more than clothes. It can also come in handy when you need to clean your soft furnishings, so make sure you always have some lying around. Even laundry detergent pods can be dissolved in hot water for a range of other applications!
