Back to School Essentials Check List

The summer holidays may of just started but many of us will already be thinking about Back to School. Most of the shops will have the Back to School posters up with uniform strategically placed at stores entrances.

We always go away the last few weeks of August and I like to have everything done before we go so as soon as the holidays start I start to pick bits up for my 3 and I use this checklist and mark off what I have brought. I find this way I don’t forget anything.

The worst thing you can do is head into town a week before they go back as most stuff will be gone, limited sizes will be left for school uniform so get out there early and be prepared. If stores don’t have your sizes they will have plenty of time to order for you or for you to go home and order online.

I have designed a back to school check list that you can download here Back To School Check List

This loosens dirt so you can wipe it away easily and more effectively.5️⃣ Always clean from top to bottomDust and dirt fall down as you clean start with shelves, counters, and work your way to the floor so you don’t undo your hard work.6️⃣ Vacuum before washing floorsPicking up dust, crumbs, and hair first ensures you don’t smear dirt around when you mop, leaving the floor cleaner and fresher.7️⃣ Change cloths to avoid cross-contaminationUsing the same cloth everywhere spreads germs.
