Question

Well im moving to an apartment tomorrow and i want to clean it before i head there( it is clean but i want it to be my version of clean) so i bought the necessities for cleaning an apartment. Mop, sprays for bathroom and kitchen, toilet brushes, plunger, dishwasher soap, etc. I spent about 172. In my mind i thought i was being rational because it is important to keep the apartment clean with the right stuff. We dont have any prior cleaning supplies but a vacuum. Do you think i overspent? I mean my husband got so mad and yelled at me and it just was so bad and im 29 weeks pregnant so i was just sobbing and stressing out from moving. Yeah we are on a tight crunch, we dont have much furniture but a bed. But i just figured we needed to get those stuff anyways and how am i going to clean a bathroom and kitchen using two rags and one spray.

Answer

I think it's reasonable. You have no idea what happened there before you and with a baby on the way I'd  rather live with only a bed and know my family is in a clean, safe environment. Cleaning products last for a long time as well and if you only had a vacuum before I think it's a good investment

Answer

That is a little much. Glass cleaner, an all purpose surface spray, pine sol, mop, broom, bucket, paper towels. Off brands work just as well as name brands

Answer

Honestly i don’t know how you spent that much. I’ve never spent more than $50

Answer

We’ve invested quite a bit in cleaning products because we don’t want all the chemicals in the cheap ones. It’s one of our priorities as a family. However, if we were still purchasing chemical cleaners and had absolutely nothing, I could see how that could add up quickly.

Answer

It does seem like a lot, but it depends on what you bought. I bought a $50 steam mop that's SO worth it. I wish I bought the more expensive version. I can see it all adding up. Things aren't cheap. And sorry the dishwasher detergent from the dollar store isn't the same as the one I like. I shop for sales, buy store brands and have a budget but some things aren't worth going off brand. Everyone's different though!

Answer

If you wanted to know what i bought

The three yellow bottles one is foam and the other two are disinfectant. Look the same.

Answer

That is a little cost for all of that stuff. I never spend that much on cleaning supplies

Answer

I would say  cleaning is needed but 172 bucks is too much.

Answer

If my husband spent that much without buying a steam cleaner, I’d be pissed. Most cleaners are what? Under $10?

Answer

In what does cleaning supplies cost $172 lol I would've yelled at you too. The MOST you should've spent was maybe $60 at the dollar store. And that's a hard maybe. That supplies better last for months.
