5 Top Tips for a Sparkling Clean Christmas
It’s a really good idea to prepare for Christmas in advance. I find that if you split your house into sections and plan to tackle one section at a time at the lead up to Christmas.
For example. The children’s bedrooms can be week one as you probably need to make room in these for new toys that are coming in for Christmas, dinning area week 2 so you can stock check table decorations and so on. Make sure you declutter as you go. Clear out wardrobes, cupboards, check underneath beds and in drawers. If you haven’t used it recently and it has no real purpose then it really needs to go.
5 Things To Do In Advance
There are 5 things you can do in advance to make sure your home is sparkling clean this christmas.
Clean your carpets
If you are fortunate enough to own a carpet cleaner this is the time to give them a really good clean. Move as much of the furniture as you can to get that freshly cleaned look.
Clean the Oven
You may be like me and clean the oven pretty much after every usage but if you not and it has a build up of dirt and grim then its time to get your oven clean on. Use good cleaning gloves and fantastic oven cleaning products.
Clean the Fridge
Have a really good fridge clean, take all the items out and the shelves. Soak the shelves in warm soapy water and clean all the sides using a good antibacterial fridge cleaner. Check all sell by dates on the food and wash over jars and bottles so everything you are putting back into the fridge is very clean. Add in a fridge fridge deodoriser to help keep it smelling fresh.
Clean the silverware
If you are doing Christmas Day at your house then make sure you have plenty of cutely and its sparking clean. Just wash in warm soapy water, towel dry and if your silver has become slightly tarnished use a metal cleaner and buff to dry. You can also try this amazing silver polishing gloves.
Organise and clean the Christmas Decorations
Christmas decorations spend a long time living in dusty confined spaces until they are brought out again but how many of us actually think about cleaning them. You would have seen me a few years on Obsessive compulsive Cleaners bleaching my baubles and still to this day I am stopped in the street and asked If I really do this and YES of Course I do.
