We all enjoy celebrating all our festivals. However, as soon as the celebration comes to an end, the stress of winding things up, cleaning and re-assembling everything starts to worry us.
If you follow these 5 smart post-festive home cleaning tips, you will turn your place as clean and neat in no-time.
- Remove all the decorations- first things first start by removing all the decorations from around the house. Some of the decorative items such as divas and fairy lights could be re-used next year as well, so make sure to keep it somewhere nice and safe. If you have used flowers for decoration, remove them first because as they get dried out they are prone to insects and, later on, can spread foul smells.
- Gift arrangement- we are often showered with gifts and sweets during festivals. Amidst the celebration, we keep them here and there, which can lead to a messy-looking house. Once you are done with the celebration, divide the gifts among the family members, you can use gifts such as candles and wall hanging for the house, arrange all the sweets and get rid of all the boxes and packaging for more space.
- De-junk- uncluttering the house before and after celebrating festivals is essential as it helps make the cleaning process brisk. Get rid of all the unwanted things gathered during festivals.
- Arrange food- we prepare different dishes in huge quantities for our guests to enjoy. After the celebration you are left with all the leftover food. Start arranging the food in sections. Throw away all the food that cannot be eaten anymore and store all the good food into containers and enjoy it as leftovers. This helps keep your kitchen well-organized.
- Sanitize the house- huge gatherings also welcome the possibility of more germs and bacteria in the house. After the guest leaves, disinfect every corner of your home, mainly the guest room, bathroom and hall. Make sure you are not just cleaning the house but also prioritizing the health of your family.
- Vacuum- thoroughly vacuum all the sofa, bed sheets, mattresses and chairs. This will remove all the dust, dirt and stains your upholstery must have collected during the guest's stay. Along with vacuuming, wiping all the table tops, and the kitchen platform to eliminate dirt.
- Stain cleaning- in case there are stains on your sofa fabric or chair, clean that off immediately before it goes deeper inside the fabric. For wall stains that are tough and do not wash-off, you can use this simple DIY. Take some backing soda, dip a wet sponge in the baking soda and start scrubbing over the stain in circular motion and you will see the stain coming off in no time.
