Cleaning Kit Supply List
Stop by the First UMC Lakeland Narthex to find a display table with buckets and supplies, along with a printed supply sheet. Start by focusing on the liquid supplies, such as detergent and liquid dish soap.
Please make sure you follow the list instructions on what items to purchase. Note that all items must be new ad all cleaning agents must be liquid form. No powders are accepted.
We need:
• 32-64 oz. bottle liquid laundry detergent
• 16-40 oz. bottle liquid concentrate household cleaner--No spray cleaners
• 16-34 oz. bottle dish soap
These are best purchased locally, as they often spill or get damaged when ordered online and shipped.
