Get Ahead of Spring Cleaning by Buying These Items at Costco Now

The biggest cleaning season of the year is just around the corner. Spring cleaning is a time to take your regular cleaning routine up several notches and leave no stain, germ or particle of dust untouched.

More and more people seem to be taking part, with the American Cleaning Institute finding in 2022 that 3 out of 4 Americans spring clean yearly (78%), almost a 10% increase from the year before. Of course, a proper cleaning requires the right products, which Costco has in spades.

Priced at $60, a Gold Star Membership at Costco is an investment you’ve probably never regretted, as it offers serious savings opportunities. Cleaning products are no exception, and the often supersized items typically have a long shelf life, allowing you to use them for months or even years to come.

With so many cleaning products to choose from, you may often feel overwhelmed by all the options. GOBankingRates is here to help, by compiling a list of five cleaning products that offer serious savings. Keep reading to find out what items to definitely put on your Costco list.
