Cleaning caddies can contain a variety of cleaning supplies. Today I’m sharing all my favorite cleaning caddy supplies.
I know spring cleaning gets a lot of attention. And I admit, when those first 60° days hit, I am the first to open the windows, turn on the radio, and start cleaning… BUUUUUT… right now… this is my favorite time to clean; it’s the time in which I feel most motivated to clean. The first day of school is a mere 3 weeks away and I always think of it as a new start. I want things clean and organized and structured. I love this time of year!
Creating A Cleaning Caddy
I have only had a cleaning caddy for about two years. Prior to that time, I would grab my cleaners, toilet brush, cleaning wipes, dust rags, sponges, and towels and try trudging through the house without dropping anything. Why I hadn’t purchased a caddy was beyond me. They are super handy, and don’t cost much.
What to Put In A Cleaning Caddy
Cleaners
If you have been around this blog for any length of time, then you are probably aware that I make most of my own cleaning products. It started as a way to save money, but soon became a way to safely clean my home without harsh chemicals. Here are the cleaners I currently have in my cleaning caddy:
- DIY Cleaning Wipes
- DIY All-Purpose Cleaner
- DIY Toilet Bombs
- DIY Shower/Tub Cleaner
- Vinegar- For my DIY Toilet Cleaner
- Baking Soda- For my DIY Toilet Cleaner
Cloths, Rags & Sponges
- Old Pillowcase- For Dusting Ceiling Fans
- Sponges
- Norwex Cleaning Cloths
- Microfiber Dusting Mitt
Other Items
- Toothbrush- For small areas that need scrubbing
- Pumice Stone– For removing toilet stains

Printables For Your Cleaning Caddy
As I am getting my house in order, I decided to spruce up my cleaning caddy with a few printables for my DIY Cleaners. I decided to create my own with these 2 Inch Square Labels by Avery™– Labels 22806™ , however, you can find some super cute labels on Etsy as well.
I also created a post with free printable cleaning labels, and you can find that here.
Love it? Pin it!
Hi! I’m new to your site and am loving all your tips and beautiful printables so far! I was wondering if you would mind sharing how you created some of the icons on your cleaning lablels? I absolutely love them (especially the lemon and the one that looks like a flower burst design) and would like to make some coordinating printables for myself that might compliment these labels. Thanks in advance!
Hi Emily- The lemon is something I created myself in PicMonkey and the flower burst is also an overlay offered in PicMonkey. I’m not sure whether you’re familiar with this program or not. You can do a lot of things for free, but there are certain fonts, overylays, and features you need to pay for. Let me know if you need help with it at all.
