Ultimate Cleaning Kit

If you're like me January is the time of year you get motivated and start cleaning and organizing everything in your house that doesn't move! If this sounds like you then you are in the perfect place with 24 posts filled with ideas from some of my favorite blogging friends who will be sharing printables, tips, tricks, recipes,and projects as part of the Ultimate Cleaning & Organization Resource blog hop.  Scroll all the way to the bottom of this post for all of the links and more inspiration.  Today, I wanted to share the very basics with you, the Ultimate Cleaning Kit.  This kit contains just a few items that are perfect to start with when it comes to cleaning.  If they don't work, then by all means move on to the big guns (the more potent cleaners) but my philosophy is to start with the small stuff and only move on if necessary.I've included affiliate links to some of the products in this post to help you get everything you need for your own Universal Cleaning Kit all at once. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

*DIY glass cleaner and degreaser

1 part of white vinegar and 1 part of water in a spray bottle
