You won’t find it listed in the curriculum guide, but Independence 101, the crash course in taking care of yourself 24/7, is an important – and often overwhelming – part of the college experience. 

If you’re looking for a care package that will really make a difference, look no further than a Clean Care Kit. Start with an easy-to-clean carryall and then fill it with products to make life easier, cleaner, and healthier in the dorm. Here are some items to include: 

• Disposable wipes: Whether you choose wipes to clean electronics or ones to disinfect, this provides an easy way to clean without needing more supplies. 

• Fabric refreshers: Odor neutralizers can help keep soft surfaces smelling more like a home and less like last week’s pizza. 

• Stain stick: When there might be a wait for a washing machine, being able to pretreat a stain quickly will help prevent spots from becoming permanent. 

• Hand sanitizer: These products can be helpful to help kill germs while out and about and they’re easy to toss in a backpack. 

• Class of Clean Toolkit: Print the handouts or share a link to a cleaning toolkit geared for college students. 

It’s the perfect gift to help your favorite college student impress their peers and also stay healthy during the upcoming cold and flu season.
