What does this tool do?
Cleaning supplies are a small, recurring line in the household budget. Tracking how many products you buy and how often you clean turns that habit into a monthly figure you can compare with a cleaning service.
The Formula
Monthly cost = products per month × price per product; cost per clean = monthly cost ÷ (cleans per week × 4.33)Frequently Asked Questions
Is it cheaper to buy concentrates?
Usually yes for routine cleaning. Dilutable concentrates cut packaging and shipping, though the upfront price can be higher and dosing must be accurate.
How many products does a household need?
Most homes can cover routine cleaning with a multi-surface cleaner, a bathroom product, a floor cleaner and a few cloths. Specialist products add cost without much extra benefit.
