What Students Need In Care Packages for Cleaning: Keep Them Healthy Away From Home

The Maids of Greater Lehigh Valley • April 11, 2014

Students require so much when they are away from home, especially if it is their first time. Many of them do not know what products to buy or where to buy them because they have become accustomed to their parents buying everything. Parents may not always know what students need in care packages for cleaning, but they will try their best make sure their child gets what they believe is best. 

What Parents Know

Parents know that the student need to have their clothes washed, dishes cleaned, and a house that smells fresh and clean. Since the parent is the person who has been purchasing cleaning products for years they know all products are not healthy for their child. Some parents have students who have allergic reactions to certain products, and they understand that their child does not take the time to read every label before purchasing cleaning products.

Preparing the Package

Knowing what students need in care packages for cleaning becomes an easy task for the parent. Listed are some items that are common in packaging:

  • Laundry detergent
  • Dish detergent
  • Disinfectants
  • Body wash (soap)
  • Portable mops and brooms
  • Air fresheners

The student will appreciate what the parent has loaded their care package with and will soon know exactly what to purchase when they begin shopping for themselves.

Making Sure the Package Does Not Leak

Most of the products that parents will place in the package are not spill proof, especially once they have been sent to the postal service to be tossed all around. What students need in care packages for cleaning are products that make it to them safely so they do not have to purchase them again (or at least not until the bottle is empty). Labeling the package as toxic or fragile will notify postal workers that they must handle this particular package carefully.

If you have carpet in your home, you and your family live with it every day: you walk on it, sit on it, lay down on it, eat over it, and spill stuff on it.
