You have sent the guests and the old year, ready to relax, pour yourself a drink, and indulge in a well-deserved break. Then you think about the past time and the fun, and inevitably you remember the traces that the guests have left behind. Familiar, right? That’s why we decided to come to your aid with a few practical tips that we hope will facilitate and speed up the cleaning after the holidays. This way, you can start the new year fresh.
Let the big cleanup begin now!
The holidays include gift exchanges, bustling around Christmas decorations and feasts, as well as an abundance of candles and light bulbs. Without them, we cannot enjoy the unique Christmas atmosphere. After the holidays, it seems like everything turns against us, and suddenly we find ourselves hostages to the kitchen. The sink is filled with dirty dishes, the trash bin overflows, and in the corners, there are remnants of ribbons, bows, and wrapping paper.
Get rid of all the clutter and throw away all ribbons, papers, and boxes that you don’t need. Until the next Christmas, there’s about a year, and by then, you’ll hardly remember them. Check the dishes and return the boxes and trays brought by guests. Remind relatives to return the boxes they borrowed. Put away the Christmas decorations. Don’t forget the lights you hung outside and check if each bulb is working.
Take care of kitchen appliances
Surely, you have taken care of or are about to take care of the kitchen, but set aside some time to clean the appliances with which you cooked all the delicacies that won the guest’s taste. You can use traditional cleaning products or mix water with vinegar and baking soda. Pay attention to the refrigerator and dishwasher. If they are damp, they can develop mold. We recommend using bio-friendly products for effective and safe cleaning.
Clean upholstered furniture
Upholstered furniture is the best spot during the winter season, and during the holidays, not only the family but also the guests enjoy using it. What about the pets? In other words, it’s time to clean the upholstered furniture at home, and when if not now? Clean with a vacuum cleaner to remove solid particles from the fabric. When cleaning stains, use special detergents or some traditional cleaning methods.
If you don’t know what the stain is, use baking soda and apply it to the stain with a clean white cloth. Or apply a little vinegar, wait 15 minutes, then blot with a little water. Treat greasy stains with salt, and then blot with a mixture of soap or water. For coffee stains, mix vinegar, water, and dish detergent. You can entrust the task to professionals who will take care to safely clean and refresh the upholstered furniture.
Clean doormats and carpets
Doormats and carpets are probably soiled with dirt, stains, and odors. Clean them by following the washing instructions on the label. Remove stains before washing. You can get rid of dust and hair with a vacuum cleaner or brush. Take the mats out on the balcony on a sunny day, beat them, and hang them up to ventilate. If it is not advisable to wash them in the washing machine, you can contact a cleaning company.
Washing and refreshing carpets
Carpets have probably lost their good looks from winter and guests. Just think about the traces of mud and rain, wine, food, holidays, guests, pets, and children. We recommend checking the condition of upholstered furniture, mats, and carpets at home, then leaving their care to professionals. Clean and refreshed carpets will improve indoor air quality and take care of home comfort and atmosphere.
