#1 A Cleaning Caddy

If you have a large house, I recommend getting one for upstairs and another one for downstairs!

#2 Rubber Gloves

Rubber gloves are an essential item when it comes to cleaning. They can protect your skin from harsh cleaning chemicals and hot water while making it easy to clean dishes, bathrooms, or anything else that requires a bit of elbow grease. You want a pair of durable gloves that won’t tear easily and make sure they fit properly for maximum protection. You can’t go wrong with Mr Clean gloves!

You need microfiber cloths in your life. They’re like magic for cleaning – tackling everything from kitchen counters to bathroom sinks to windows. These little heroes pick up tiny particles of dirt, dust, and nasty bacteria, leaving surfaces sparkling and sanitized. And guess what? They’re also machine washable, so you can keep using them over and over again. It’s a win-win for you!

#4 Spray Bottles

First up, every mom needs a few spray bottles on hand. These are great for homemade cleaning solutions or pre-made cleaners that you can buy at your local store. With a spray bottle, you can easily apply cleaning solution to surfaces, allowing you to easily clean up messes and spills. I have one of these hanging on my shower door so I can spray it every couple of days to keep gunk off my door!

Speaking of messes, a mop and bucket are essential for any busy mom. This combination makes cleaning floors a breeze, especially if you have hardwood or tile floors. We use this one and it works great!

#6 Broom & Dustpan

Another must-have for moms is a broom and dustpan. These are perfect for quick cleanups, especially in those hard-to-reach areas like under the couch or in the corners of the room. Make sure to look for a broom that is sturdy with bristles that can easily pick up dirt and debris. I like to have a small one too, so the little kids can use it to clean up, you should be able to find one at the dollar store easy enough.

#7 Handheld Vacuum

You will use this more than you think you will. I have one attached to my laundry room wall and I am constantly grabbing it to clean up stuff on the floor, on the couch, behind a door! I wish I had one when I had littles, it’s a lifesaver!

#8 A Dust Mop

Let’s face it; dust is a mom’s worst enemy. With kids running in and out of the house all-day, particles, and dirt can accumulate pretty quickly.

It’s also great for quick cleanups, especially when unexpected visitors drop in.

I always have lots of extras, because I have noticed they are not always available!

#11 Old Toothbrush

Yes, you read that right, an old toothbrush can be a valuable cleaning tool. They are perfect for cleaning tight spaces, grout, and other places where scrub brushes cannot reach. Plus, since toothbrushes are small, they are perfect for small stains that require precision cleaning. I always have a couple of old toothbrushes in my caddy, I use one to clean the grout in the shower all the time,

#12 Anti Bacterial Wipes

Keeping a stash of anti-bacterial wipes around the house can help you wipe down surfaces that come in frequent contact with germs and bacteria, such as kitchen counters and door handles. Make sure to opt for high-quality antibacterial wipes that work effectively. I usually get mine at Sams Club or on Subscribe and Save on Amazon.

Paper towels are incredibly versatile and can be used for almost anything.
