I got one of those totes and keep it stocked the full range of cleaning supplies in it (wood, glass, tile, each with their own set of specific color coded hand towels, sponges, etc).

this is what I mean by tote

I use hand towels instead of paper towels, but you get the idea. microfiber for wood/glass, bar towels for other shit. scrubbies, sponges, each assigned to a cleaning solution if they are ones that shouldn’t mix.

when there’s some kind of mess or I notice something needs attention, I can just grab it without thinking, carry it to the problem, and take care of whatever is going on in one trip.

I got the idea from how professional cleaners in commercial spaces use a singular, multipurpose cleaning cart (or carts for multiple teams) to independently handle 99% of typical cleaning and maintenance jobs as they move along a circuit.

so like, it’s not just for spot cleaning, but I can walk from room to room and clean every type of thing in every space in a single loop with no walking back and forth.

yes, I am extremely fun at parties.
