Top Cleaning Necessities For The College Bound Student
We spent 18 years teaching them to take care of themselves, and now they’re off to college. We taught them how to clean, too, do we really think they’ll spend their limited budget on cleaning supplies? lol Mine didn’t, that’s for sure! One of them used his to buy all the food he could get his hands on and another bought extra frozen burgers so he could use his George Foreman grill to sell dinner to his entire dorm… lol the difference in kids!
But, back to the point of this post, we need to send them off with all we think they’ll need and then hope they make the right choices in all areas!
We’ve discussed, so far:
