Housekeeper's Box

This is a list of all the items I use when cleaning. I’m asked all the time, so I thought a list is easier.

  • Tesco all purpose cleaning cloths (tesco, please not value or on roll – too small!) Or yellow square cloths (spontex) or cellulose, either washable.
  • Spongy scourers
  • Wirey scourers
  • Soap pads, any make (eg Brillo)
  • E cloths / kitchen roll / old pillowcase / old t shirt (for glass, dusting)
  • Washing up liquid
  • Bicarbonate of soda
  • General all purpose cleaner ie (bathroom / kitchen power / Cif cream / ecover)
  • Glass cleaner (Mr Muscle - it’s the best!)
  • Sparkle polish, any make (with silicone for mats and coasters, without for furniture, if you prefer?)
  • Feather duster
  • Dish brush
  • Scrubbing brush
  • Broom, dustpan & brush, vacuum cleaner, mop & bucket
  • Washing up bowl.
  • Milton liquid, squirty bottle, Milton tablets (in baby aisle or this can be supplied for £5)
  • Thank you very much!

    Tip: Did you know, if you use a spray polish, i.e. sparkle, with silicone frequently, this gives good protection against the tops of your drink mats/coasters getting damaged with liquid marks that form around the edge.
