New Apartment Care Package
A cute, fun, and useful New Apartment Care Package is easy to make. All of the supplies to make a cleaning supplies gift basket can be found at Target or Walmart or on Amazon.
Start with a bucket. The bucket is not only a good “gift basket,” but a place for them to store their cleaning supplies and carry them around their apartment. Toilet paper makes good “filler” and everyone needs more toilet paper! I have some crumpled paper to fill in the gaps so the items don’t fall in them.
Add the basic cleaning supplies like toilet bowl cleaner, general purpose cleaner, disinfecting wipes, and glass cleaner. Add some rubber cleaning gloves to protect their hands from the cleaning products.
Add some paper towels and a few brushes – swiffer duster, dish brush, toilet bowl brush. Add any of your favorite cleaning tools and supplies.
I love this set of dish rags from Target – already tied with a bow. Attach the “Mom is Coming” Cleaning Checklist. Print it on white cardstock. It would be a good idea to put it in a sheet protector or laminate it.
They may need a reminder of the tasks involved in cleaning their apartment. The “Mom is Coming” Cleaning Checklist will give them a list of all of the steps. It is available in the Subscriber’s Only library. This apartment cleaning checklist and a bow are the perfect finishing touch to your New Apartment Care Package.
