News Years party clean up
New Years embrace new beginnings – a chance for everyone to begin fresh and fun and in most cases It is bound to start with a celebration of some sort which will probably get a little messy. If you have hosted here is a little round up of how to clean up that mess quickly.
Before going to bed
Get ahead start by having a little tidy up before locking up and going to bed, trust me you will appreciate this in the morning.
Kitchen & Food
Put any uneaten food in plastic containers and place it back in the fridge. Seal or re-cork bottles of wine that haven’t been entirely emptied yet. You can use some cling wrap to cover the top if you can’t get the cork back in.
Spills & Clutter
Act on any urgent matters such as stains and spills. For clothing stains, pre-treat using a stain remover and soak overnight. Grab a heavy duty bin liner and clear out any clutter—but remember to recycle!
In the morning
You may be feeling a little hung over so before you start with your big clean up give you some a little TLC, drink plenty of water and have a good breakfast. Start the new year fresh and get on with the job at hand.
Surfaces & Air
Start by clearing surfaces and dealing with any sticky patches from spilt drinks or dips. Throw open those windows and let some fresh air in to get rid of any horrible smells. Run the vacuum around so you are not treading food crumbs throughout the rest of your home.
Laundry & Dishes
Fill the dishwasher with bowls, plates, and glasses. Gather your fabric tablecloths and napkins and give them a quick cycle in your washing machine using a good quality detergent. Refresh the sofa by giving it a good vacuum and spritz with a homemade fabric refresher.
The Bathroom
Do not forget to inspect the toilet premises. Wear rubber gloves and start wiping the areas with disinfectant. Remember to spray and leave the product to work to get the full benefit and kill those germs. Change over the hand towel and wipe over the sink area.
Congratulations you are now a step closer to bringing your home back to normal state!
