Are you ready to tackle post-holiday cleaning at home? With all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it can be difficult to find the time to get your home back in order. But, with some planning and preparation, you can make the most of your post-holiday cleaning and have your home looking its best in no time.
Make Your List and Check it Twice
The key to post-holiday cleaning is to start as soon as possible. Once the holidays are over, make a list of the tasks that need to be completed. Start your list with:
- Taking down decorations
- Cleaning all the used bedding and towels
- Organizing the pantry and fridge
- Cleaning the stove and inside of your oven
After a week of hosting family and friends, the best thing you can do is tackle the obvious messes. Making and following a list helps you get organized and get the holiday cleaning done quickly.
Focus on Cleaning Your Kitchen - Our Best Cleaning Tips
Once you've made your list, it's time to start tackling the tasks. Focus most of your attention on the kitchen. This is likely the room that got the most use during the holidays, so it's important to give it a thorough cleaning. Work in order of importance:
-
Wipe down all surfaces - the counters, refrigerator, stove, oven, appliances, cupboards, sink, etc. You can mix equal parts white vinegar and water to help you tackle some of the grime.
- Clean out the pantry and refrigerator - throw out any expired or unused items and reorganize to optimize space. It's time to get rid of the leftovers that have been sitting in your fridge all week.
-
Sweep, sweep, sweep - get rid of the crumbs that have gone unnoticed in the corners of your kitchen. You can avoid pests like ants by making sure that you don't have any leftovers to share with them.
When It Comes to Carpet and Upholstery, Ask for Help!
Scheduling your post-holiday carpet cleaning is another vital step in returning your home to its former self. As fun as the holidays are, they can wreak havoc on your floors, countertops, and upholstery. From annoying crumbs to unsightly spots, hiring a professional carpet cleaning service is the best option for getting rid of the messes that follow holiday hosting.
At Zerorez®, we can make your home look Insanely Clean™ again! Traditional carpet cleaning employs the use of harsh chemicals, soaps, and detergents that create a crunchy, sticky residue on your flooring, especially your carpet. This residue that gets left behind actually attracts more dirt and grime, resulting in short-term effects. Zerorez has revolutionized carpet cleaning so that you can have a cleaner carpet for a longer period. We use alkalized water that has the same pH level as soap, giving it the same cleaning power without the residue.
With our help, you can check the biggest surfaces off of your to-do list. Check out what Zerorez can help you clean:
