Great for pretend play or teaching household chores, this Deluxe Cleaning Kit will keep your little housekeeper entertained for hours. It comes with tons of fun accessories including a broom, dust pan, dust mop, "wet floor" sign, bucket, small dust broom and much more.


Great fun for your little helper.

The small broom and mop now keeps my house from being a natural disaster. When she helped sweep with a big broom, the counters and tables would be cleared with the handle coming around. Walls and pictures were getting a rough treatment as well. Now every time I clean she can help at her level. The broom and mop really work, we have lost a few strings on the mop. The boxes of soap, wipes and sponges she could care less about along with the wet floor signs. I covered those in packing tape to make them last longer (heard this trick from another mom). She uses the "spray bottle" and an old wash cloth to dust and wipe her counters on her kitchen. She loves the dust pan and bucket too. Overall this is totally worth the price. The only con I have is the shedding of the mop, I am hoping it will last. I highly recommend it to keep your little helper from destroying the house and to help clean the house.
