Spring Cleaning – Put Together a Spring Cleaning Bucket
Hopefully the de-cluttering is going well for you and you’re getting ready to start your spring cleaning. A great time saver for your spring or deep cleaning is to put together a bucket or container with all your supplies. Why? All the supplies are in one place, no searching and gathering. It also gives yourself the message that you are committed to doing this (if you need a little message). I spent a couple minutes yesterday gathering my spring cleaning supplies and putting them all in one place – want to see what makes up my spring cleaning bucket?
dusting tools – lots of them!
window cleaning tools
cleaning cloths
some of my favorite cleaners
So…what are you going to put in your cleaning bucket? If you’d like to see my weekly cleaning routine and some of my favorite cleaning products, check out my cleaning routine page. Isn’t the bucket adorable? It’s from Brodder’s Tubs. Gear up, Monday I’m sharing one last de-cluttering project (with a giveaway) and then on the first day of spring, next Wednesday I’m going to start sharing my top ten spring cleaning tasks. I also have some fun homemade cleaning recipes to share with you too !

Where did you get your window cleaning tools?

Post authorThe window cleaning tools and dusters are part of a Casabella set – you can find the whole set here:

Or you can find the individual window products here:

Pricey, but they’ll last a long time and they make cleaning a breeze!

Love the bucket. Is yours the $12 or $28 size?
Becky Says
Post authorIt’s the $28 size – the galvanized metal is the sturdiest I have ever seen and it is finished perfectly – I love it!

LOVE the bucket! Spring cleaning can be a pain, so at least a cute bucket and fun new supplies can make it more exciting. 🙂

I have recently discovered micro- fibre cloths. Great absorption.

Kid cleaners? I only use non-toxic products but I have been known to give my kids baby wipes, a duster, and a spray bottle with water and a microfiber cloth and they follow me around with that. Hope this helps! xo, Becky
