Break down your post-holiday cleaning tasks into smaller, more achievable tasks.
Inviting family and friends over for the holidays is a special occasion, but cleaning up before and after a big event isn’t all that fun. Use the tips below to make cleaning a little easier.
1. Set a schedule and stick to it
It’s hard to clean the whole house at once. Try creating a weekly cleaning schedule that completes different tasks each day. For example, you can devote one day to mopping and vacuuming, and another day to clearing and emptying. You can save time by breaking down your cleaning tasks into small daily chores.
2. Always clean
When hosting a dinner party, load the dishwasher with as many pots and large kitchen tools as possible and run it while your guests are eating. In this way, many of the dishes have already been prepared, so the next load will be dinner plates and glassware from the guests. When everyone’s turn is over, throw the wrapping paper.
3. Use quality tools
Half the battle when cleaning a space, big or small, is having the right tools to make the job easier. Make sure you have what it takes to lift heavy objects. Look for an easy-to-operate, versatile vacuum cleaner that can condense dirt, pet hair, and debris. Extra sponges, microfiber cloths, and stretchy dusters also go a long way.
