items Cleaning and ADHD don't always go together super well. Add in trying to be eco-friendly as well and it can feel overwhelming.
I don't think our houses need to be perfectly spotless and photo ready at all times, but I do think clean is good for our m...
This brand has a reputation for being gold standard and indestructible. Steam cleaning is wonderful because it's eco friendly- it will replace almost all your chemicals- and it's just the one machine to clean lots of different things so you aren't in...
Steam Cleaner & Steam Mop
I find colour coding cleaning clothes really great. Reduces reliance on disposable paper towel, and you xan deeicate different colors for different tasks (e.g., blue for glass, yellow for kitchen) which reduces cross-contamination and decision fatigu...
Multicoloured Cleaning Cloths
Brilliant bundle of editable cleaning planners, check-lists and trackers. ADHD does make keeping on track of cleaning trickier, and can feel overwhelming. Where to start? When did I last do this?! All questions you will no longer need to ask yoursel...
Editable ADHD Cleaning Planner and Checklist (pdf)
Eviro friendly, they'll do what needs to be done and make your house smell beautiful at the same time! And you can use the lavender to help you fall asleep after your day of cleaning 🍃
Essential Oils- lemon, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender, and peppermint
It cleanser everything from you to the sink. It's magic and reduces the need to choose which can be a bit of a barrier when it comes to cleaning. Highly recommend and you can choose your favourite scent!
Dr Bronners Castille Liquid Soap
I use this on tiles, sinks, stainless steel sinks, glass, basically everything. Keep one in your bathroom and kitchen and easily clean most surfaces. It's sort of fun and incredibly convenient for a little dopamine hit or 30 second spree. It's just o...
Non-Scratch Fillable Dishwand
Use this for cleaning really tricky small places- taps, grout etc. Super powerful, easy and fun to use. A tiny little water pressure machine of your very own! You will be amazed and horrified at the gunk you will excavate.
Water Flosser
You can use white vinegar to clean almost anything. It's cheap, non toxic, cuts through grease, you can spray it on something to soak, add directly to a cloth and even add a (tiny) but to a steam cleaner. Great in the bathroom to sinks and showers, c...
White Vinegar
Another classic all rounder. It soaks up odours, cleanser without scratching, easy to get in bulk and you can just keep on task with with. Pour some down your sink and add vinegar to make it bubble and clean the pipes!
Bicarbonate of Soda
Put your vinegar, essential oil mixes, and soap mixtures in these to to help yourself with a 'spray and leave to soak' situation. You can stick on labels (and truly I encourage you too- I have been overconfident on more than one occasion that I would...
Glass Spray Bottles
Hear me out- bins are gross and even worse is when they have been sitting there for ages. ADHD can make things like taking out the trash a bit harder, but having a tiny dishwasher safe bin that gets full before things are too gross... definitely much...
Kitchen Caddy Bin
When you hyperfocus on a good clean, you will never feel satisfied without one of these. It just feels different with clean drains.
Sink Cleaner Brush Set
Keeps tiles, mirrors and windows sparkling and way more fun than wiping off water marks everywhere. A good little 5 second takes when you shower that can help you feel on top of things even when a little feels like a lot!
Squeegee
Minimal waste, maximum descaling. Limescale just looks ugly while not unhygienic, it can feel therapeutic to clean it off. This will do the heavy lifting and you can give it a little soak to help with what I think of as the satisfying 'final touches'...
Eco Limescale Remover
I honestly love these and they replace regular laundry detergent. You can also soak them and make a natural soap you can use in general cleaning. A bag lasts for ages, and you just replace the nuts when needed (you can tell by looking at them). Gre...
