Back to school means the days are quickly becoming busier with school drop-off, pick up and after-school activities. Those lazy summer beach days will soon be a distant memory, replaced with making school lunches and washing uniforms.
Here are some handy tips that might make it easier to get back into the school routine.
Creating a daily checklist is a quick and easy way to help ensure that now school is back we are still getting to all those little tasks that might be overlooked. From preparing the lunches to sweeping and mopping the floor, just add it to the list and tick it off as you go.
Also, create a checklist or chore chart for your kids so that they know which tasks need to be done before school such as getting dressed, brushing their teeth and emptying the dishwasher. This will help the morning routine go smoothly and help you get out the door on time.
Lunchboxes and Drink Bottles
Whether you are making lunches worthy of Instagram or slapping together a vegemite sandwich you can ensure that your child’s lunch box is kept clean by washing it with Tri Nature Dishwashing Liquid. Don’t forget to make sure all those brand-new lunchboxes are washed thoroughly before use.
Drink bottles should also be washed regularly to keep them clean and germ-free. Use a little of the Tri Nature Dishwashing Liquid, some water and a bottle brush, ensuring you get into the nooks and crannies. If the bottle has a straw use a straw cleaning brush. Rinse thoroughly and you are ready to refill.
School Uniforms
If your child plays hard at school and comes home covered in dirt and mud, leaving you cursing the person who made the decision for your child to wear a white shirt, never fear – we have you covered with our gentle but high-performance laundry products.
Just pop the white shirts and socks into a bucket with some Tri Nature Pre-Wash Soaker and leave to soak for a couple of hours. For greasy stains spray the clothes with the Tri Nature Pre-Wash Spray and then wash as normal with the Tri Nature Laundry Powder or Laundry Liquid.
Germ-free
While we usually praise our children for sharing, we don’t want them sharing germs and unfortunately back to school means back to spending time with lots of other kids. Popping a small bottle of Tri Nature Hand Sanitiser in your child’s bag will help to stop the spread of the dreaded school germs (if they remember to use it). It is also great to use before and after eating if they don’t have access to hand washing facilities.
If you are lucky enough to have some “free” time whilst the kids are at school, you could always use this time to read a book or get on top of your other cleaning tasks.
