(ARA) – During the holiday season, college students often struggle to stay focused on their studies — and a messy dorm room only adds to the problem. In order to stay focused on winter finals, rather than fungus, students should be sure to have a cleaning caddy handy along with their pencils and calculators.
When purchasing cleaning products for college its best to go for all-purpose tools and cleaners that tackle multiple cleaning needs, especially since most dorm rooms are short on storage space, says Kathy Luedke, spokesperson for Eureka.
Following is a list of essentials that will help students keep dorm rooms livable and ready for unexpected visitors during the holiday season — including parents.
* All-purpose cleaning spray: Cleaning spray can be used with paper towels to easily wipe off and sanitize everything from desks and windowsills to computer screens and appliances. Theyre also great for cleaning up spills and those stuck-on foods in microwaves or mini refrigerators.
* Dish soap: Another essential for any co-ed cleaning caddy is dish soap. Perfect for cleaning up late night snacks, dish soap is also great for getting tough stains — like grease and grass — out of carpet and clothes.
* Wrinkle reducers/fabric fresheners: Busy students cant do laundry every night. A clothes freshener or wrinkle reducer should always be on hand for a quick fix before a big date or night on the town. These can also be used to freshen up futons, sofas and chairs after a weekend bash or series of all-night study sessions.
* Lightweight vacuum: Another cleaning must-have is a lightweight, all-terrain vacuum like the Boss SuperLite from Eureka. Easy-to-store and use, this top-selling model is perfect for tackling dirt and crumbs on any surface, from carpets and area rugs to bare floors — even beds and other furniture. The extra long, 20-foot power cord allows students to vacuum the entire room at once, while the bagless design and see-through container let students know when its time to empty. The Boss SuperLite is also compact with a telescoping handle that makes it easy to store in small spaces.
A good vacuum is essential for any living environment, and the Eureka Boss SuperLite is a perfect starter for students, explained Luedke. With this and other cleaning tools handy, students can maintain their rooms in a way that would make Mom proud without taking time away from studying and, of course, having fun.
All-purpose cleaners, dish soap, wrinkle reducers and fabric fresheners can be found at most local grocery, drug and discount stores. The Eureka Boss SuperLite model #402 retails for $39.99 and is available at department stores, home centers and specialty stores nationwide.
