Minimize supplies. Make your cleanup kit hyper-portable by choosing multiuse supplies, like an all-surface cleaning agent and microfiber cloths, which can be used for both washing and drying. Also, don’t skimp on “the most affordable, most convenient cleaner available: tap water.”
Upgrade your bucket. One new purchase that can speed your work is a tool caddy that can nest at the top of your cleaning bucket. It’ll help you tote the supplies.
