Cleaning-rolling cart?

[Anonymous]

Recommendations for a rolling cart for cleaning? Has anyone else created this??? Looking for durable/not dinky/smooth rolling.

I have various reasons
-I consider myself minimal on house cleaning supplies, but when I do a big clean, I still am carrying 6-8 things around.
-storage for supplies. Upstairs, I have 4 places where things ends up (3 baths and 1 laundry room). Want it all in one place.
-adhd in family. One diagnosed as hyperfocused. Younger, I suspect, is hyperactive/very unfocused. Older says they have it, but if it is, it’s the mild one we all sort of have. That kid is more like a starter, but never a finisher. They want to be helpful, but we lose focus together.

I have 3 levels, and if it goes right, I’ll create the first, then two more so I don’t waste energy up and down stairs getting something.

My minimal cleaning is
-one spray bottle
-micrfober cloths
-duster
-Glass cleaner
-Magic eraser
-paper towel roll
-box of disposable gloves
-maybe carpet stain remover
-I could add some toilet paper and hand soap refills
-sometimes a couple other cleaners like a bronners solution or Bon Ami, if I’ve been using it (usually not very committed to these, but they might end up in my cart)

Wow, that's intense.

So you could use a little red wagon or a golf/grocery caddy stroller type basket.

I just use a plastic cleaning caddy with a handle. It holds 6-8 bottles, I stock it with my cleaning tools.
I get fresh cleaning rags each time I clean so it doesn't help to stock the caddy with those.
If you want something rolling I would get those little carts with shelves marketed for college dorm rooms.

I have a three tier rolling cart from Ikea.

I just stock the cleaning supplies near whatever is to be cleaned. Ex. near or under each sink, there is a bottle of Clorox Clean-Up. It makes it MUCH easier to do this on the fly.

Look at an art cart from Michaels or similar. It has three levels and wheels but isn't huge.

I have a bath caddy that my roomba carries around for me.

That is a bit much.

Do you sometimes remove the cleaning supplies and give your cat a ride?

I found that if I had to drag my cleaning supplies around with me, I'd procrastinate on cleaning.
I got one of those hand held caddies for each bathroom and filled them with all necessary supplies. Then I put a caddy under each sink.
Another Caddy went under the kitchen sink, filled with supplies.
All the other rooms of the house are just vaccuming and dusting and a lot easier to just grab as needed.

Where do you put this out of sight on each level? You must have huge underused closets.

I store cleaning supplies on each level s9 I don’t have to go up/down stairs.

We have a bathroom on each level, so at a minimum there is a cleaner spray, a glass cleaner and a roll of paper towels on each level under the sink. It's one of the reason I'd never get a pedestal sink. Sometimes there are cleaning wipes, like clorox too. But I use those less so it's inconsistent.

I have a caddy that I carry. It's really helpful and it stores away easily on a shelf.

-glass cleaner
-wood cleaner
-softscrub bleach for sinks
-toilet bowl cleaner
-windex
-scrub brush
and then clean microfiber cloths.
