List of Cleaning Tools to Prepare
Items for Use in the Kitchen
-
Essential
Sponge
For hygiene purposes, we recommend preparing three types of sponges: one for dishes, one for frying pans and pots, and one for the sink. It is especially more sanitary to keep the dish sponge and sink sponge separate.
-
Essential
Kitchen Detergent
You will need one bottle for cleaning dishes, pots, and pans. Recently, more user-friendly products such as “upside-down bottles” have also become available.
-
Essential
Degreasing Detergent
It is mainly used for sticky grease stains on stovetops and range hoods. Since many of these stains are stubborn and difficult to remove, choosing the right detergent is important.
-
Essential
Kitchen Haiter
It is used to remove mold and slime from sinks and sink strainers. With a spray, you can easily disinfect, bleach, and deodorize.
-
Essential
Cleanser
It is used to remove water stains around the sink. Since it may scratch the sink, we recommend choosing one with as low an abrasive level as possible.
-
Nice to Have
Baking Soda Soap
It is mainly used to remove grease and oil stains around the kitchen. It is environmentally friendly and does not pollute wastewater. Of course, it is also gentle on the skin.
-
Nice to Have
Kitchen Paper Towels
They are convenient for quick wipe-downs and detailed polishing. We recommend those with excellent water and oil absorbency.
Items for Use in the Bathroom and Toilet
-
Essential
Bathroom Detergent
It is used for cleaning bathtubs and tiles. There are many types available, but having a standard detergent will be sufficient to start with.
-
Essential
Kabi Killer
Bathrooms are particularly prone to mold growth. This product removes both red and black mold. Please be sure to wear gloves when using it.
-
Essential
Bathtub Sponge
It is used for cleaning the bathtub. We do not recommend using hard brushes, as they may cause scratches.
-
Essential
Toilet Cleaner
It is used for cleaning the toilet bowl. There are many types available, but starting with a standard product will be sufficient.
-
Essential
Disposable Cleaning Sheets
They are used for cleaning the toilet seat and the surrounding area. Thicker sheets are easier to use and are recommended.
-
Nice to Have
Citric Acid Spray
It is used to remove water stains from faucets and mirrors. Like baking soda, it is made from natural materials, making it environmentally friendly and safe for wastewater.
-
Nice to Have
Mold Prevention Absorbent Cloth
It is used to remove water droplets that can cause mold in bathrooms and washrooms. Choose one with high absorbency.
Items for Use in Room Cleaning
-
Essential
Microfiber
ClothThese are finer-textured cloths compared to regular rags. Even those from 100-yen shops work effectively, so having about 10–20 of them is nice to have.
-
Essential
Room Cleaner
This is a spray-type cleaner that can be used for a wide range of purposes, including floors, furniture, and lighting. It also offers disinfecting effects.
-
Essential
Vacuum Cleaner
We recommend a cyclonic vacuum cleaner over a bagged one, as it is easier to maintain and does not require frequent filter replacements.
-
Essential
Lint Roller
It is very useful for removing small debris and dust from mats, carpets, and other surfaces. Be sure to pay attention to the adhesive strength when choosing one.
-
Nice to Have
Floor Wiper
If the floor area is large, a wiper helps save time and makes cleaning more efficient. Lightweight and slim types are recommended.
-
Nice to Have
Wiper Sheets (Dry)
They are used for the final step of floor cleaning. It is recommended to choose ones with good absorption of hair and dust.
-
Nice to Have
Wiper Sheets (Wet)
They are used after vacuuming and are ideal for cleaning under beds and sofas where the vacuum head cannot reach.
-
Nice to Have
Handy Mop
They make dusting dramatically faster. An extendable type is convenient for reaching high places.
