Just as every good mechanic, plumber, or computer tech has their toolkit, so too should every domestic service submissive have a toolkit. Listed below are a few go to items that I like to always have on hand to tackle certain tasks or jobs.
You may not have an interest in certain areas of domestic servitude, which is completely understandable, and fortunately, domestic service is not a one size fits all. Feel free to take what most appeals to you from the following list, and adjust as suits you.
Home Repair
Crazy Glue - I can not say enough about this quick setting adhesive compound. Best used fresh, and sparingly, this little gem is perfect for small repairs of items that will not be used near food.
Gorilla Glue - For larger home repairs of items such as wood moulding, tiling, baseboards, and doors - sand and paint once dry.
Basic ratchet and screwdriver set - From cupboards to shelving to doors, there is always something around the house that could use tightening or a quick install. While you need not buy the top name brand, a mid-range brand, such as Milwaukee or Dewalt, would be handy to have. Even a multi bit tool would serve you well - just ensure you purchase one that feels comfortable in your hand.
Repair putty/filler - For the odd nick or gouge in drywall or baseboards, quick setting, and very malleable. Once completely dry, easily sanded and painted, blending in with the surrounding structure seamlessly.
Cleaning
Twinkle - The gentlest and easiest silverware cleanser. Use a soft sponge to wipe on, rinse, then dry with a microfibre cloth. No force or excessive rubbing required.
Vinegar - The best and cheapest cleaning solvent there is. Perfect for loosening caked on food remnants on the stovetop, in some dish ware, or in the oven, non-toxic, excellent for streak free mirror and glass cleaning. Use with baking soda to create a natural sink drain cleanser.
Cleansing wipes - For large and small jobs, perfect for odd shaped surfaces, portable, and multi purpose.
SOS Pads - For dinner ware, cleaning a stainless steel sink, or anywhere you need a little abrasive help.
Rags - For all jobs.
Body Care
An assortment of lotions - For massage, for softening rough skin, for soothing after play. Ensure to have a selection of non-scented lotions on hand for those who might be sensitive.
Hand towels - Always good to have a stack of plain white, absorbent hand towels at the ready.
Nail/cuticle clippers - For troublesome hang nails and rough skin - use after soaking the hands or feet, and use a shallow snipping motion.
Disposable razor heads/razors - Always you a fresh one with someone, if shaving a particularly dense area of hair, use multiple razors/heads.
Beard trimmer - Need not be a huge investment, a battery powered one will suffice - you just want to trim down particularly hairy areas first.
Household Care
Linen spray or powder - When turning down the bed, or after having changed the sheets - it is a special added touch. Again, caution is best exercised if you are attending someone who has a scent sensitivity.
Decor
Hot glue gun - To add a little bling to your centerpiece, and for fixes that your Crazy Glue just can't seem to fix, a mini glue gun is any aspiring home decorator’s best friend.
Wardrobe
An iron - A solidly crafted iron can be a great asset to any domestic toolkit. As well as creating perfect creases in clothing, irons can give crisp edges to napkins, tablecloths, and another other places linens might be in use.
Shoe polish - Basic black at a very minimum
Needles and thread - A variety of thread, some needles, some buttons, a few safety pins, a pair of scissors
