Thankfully, Hertel, La Parisienne and Arctic Power get together to support you every step (and every cycle!) of the way. We promise you a fresh start to the new school year!

Have your gym sets and backpacks been locked away in a closet for two months? Have the work desks and lunchboxes been gathering dust?

We've thought of everything you need to make these moments go by smoothly. Gentle cycle: activated! Here's a product for every situation:

HERTEL DILUTABLE MULTI-SURFACE CLEANING DISINFECTANT - MEDITERRANEAN WAVE

This multi-surface disinfectant is a versatile cleaning product: it's the solution to all your problems in a single bottle! It's also environmentally friendly: since it's a concentrated cleaner, you won't need to buy a whole lot of additional bottles. Specially designed to disinfect the entire house, this household cleaning product easily dissolves grease and removes dirt from most surfaces. Its Mediterranean Wave fragrance transports you straight to the seaside - who knew it'd be so easy to go back there?

Since we've got more than one trick up our sleeve and want to protect your peace of mind, here are a few tips to ensure that the back-to-school season goes as smoothly as possible:

• Take the time to make a list of everything that needs to be done, and divide tasks into sections (inventory, laundry, shopping, etc.) and sub-sections (buying school supplies, buying clothes, buying lunchbox items, etc.). Allocate a period for each sub-section and spread the tasks over a few days. That way, you won't feel like you're spending your whole summer cleaning, and you'll get through your list (almost) unnoticed!
• Plan an evening to swap school supplies with your friends and family. Your peer might have the yellow duo-tang you're looking for, and your neighbor might be happy to take a few lined notebooks off your hands. You can do the same with clothes, backpacks and lunch boxes.
• The night before school starts, take three deep breaths. Take it in. And if it helps, just bring one of your freshly-washed items up to your nose: the calming scent will lighten the load!

You're done.

Have an epic school year!
