If you\u2019re responsible for hosting holiday events, then you know how exhausting it can be to prepare the food and decorations, let alone making sure your home is clean and presentable to your guests. The holidays are just around the corner and should be spent celebrating and enjoying the company of family and friends rather than spending every waking second cooking and cleaning. We\u2019ve put together some holiday cleaning tips that can be accomplished throughout the week leading up to the big day so you can stress less and feel more relaxed this holiday season.<\/p>\n
A week prior to your guests\u2019 arrival, wash any throw rugs that you have and set them aside to fully dry. Keep them tucked away until the day of to ensure they do not get any dirt or stains on them that would require attention. Be sure to vacuum or shake the rug prior to washing to remove any loose dirt and excess debris that may be in the fibers.<\/p>\n
You may not think to do this, but guests will notice stains or scuffs that may be on the baseboards in your home, such as in the kitchen, dining room or family room. This is why cleaning your baseboards is a must for holiday preparation and is one of our holiday cleaning tips you\u2019ll want to remember. For painted baseboards, Magic Erasers will work well for this task. If you do not have any, you can substitute by cleaning your baseboards with a 50\/50 mixture of water and vinegar. Soak a sponge in the mixture and wring thoroughly prior to scrubbing to ensure the baseboards are not left too damp.<\/p>\n
Tanto en el caso de los muebles de cuero como de los tapizados, retira los cojines y asp\u00edralos para eliminar los residuos m\u00e1s grandes que se esconden en las grietas. Para los muebles de cuero, prepara una soluci\u00f3n de limpieza con partes iguales de agua y vinagre para limpiar el cuero. A continuaci\u00f3n, acondiciona la superficie con una mezcla de una parte de vinagre y dos partes de aceite de linaza (o aceite de semillas de lino); apl\u00edcala con suavidad, d\u00e9jala actuar durante la noche y l\u00edmpiala al d\u00eda siguiente. Para los muebles tapizados, busca la etiqueta que indica de qu\u00e9 est\u00e1 hecha la tela de la tapicer\u00eda, ya que esto determinar\u00e1 qu\u00e9 productos de limpieza debes usar. La mayor\u00eda de los muebles tapizados admiten detergentes a base de agua; sin embargo, algunos tambi\u00e9n requieren limpieza con vapor o limpieza profesional. Aseg\u00farate de seguir las instrucciones de limpieza para evitar da\u00f1ar la tela.<\/p>\n
Nothing is more unappealing to guests that walking into a dirty and grimy bathroom, so preparing your bathroom is one of the most important holiday cleaning tasks. Some bathroom holiday cleaning tips include cleaning mirrors, wiping down the sink and vanity area, cleaning the shower or tub and of course, the \u201ccommode.\u201d Make sure the bathroom has fresh hand towels, a full soap dispenser and extra toiletries to accommodate your guests. If you only have one bathroom in your home, consider doing this the day before guests arrive or spot-cleaning the bathroom later in the week, as well.<\/p>\n
Since this is one of the main rooms that you and your guest will gather in, you\u2019ll want to ensure your kitchen is as clean and inviting as the other rooms of your home. Clean your stove top and grates, as well as your microwave and other small appliances that will be left out, such as your coffee maker. If possible, store any small appliances or items that will not be used in a pantry or closet to provide more room. Reducing clutter on your counters will give an appearance of a cleaner kitchen.<\/p>\n
It seems that dust accumulates faster than we realize, so this is one task you\u2019ll want to reserve for a day closer to guests arriving. One of the most obvious holiday cleaning tips entails polishing your bookshelves, dining table and other obvious wooden surfaces in each room. Be sure to pay attention to the less-obvious surfaces, such as ceiling fans, windowsills and blinds, as they tend to accumulate a lot of dirt and dust.<\/p>\n
The day before guests arrive, be sure to go over all flooring with a vacuum to clean up any extra debris and dirt that may have accumulated earlier in the week. For non-carpeted flooring, be sure to mop the areas that guests will be gathering in. If you have a Swiffer Wet-Jet or Swiffer Sweeper, this will suffice for your tile, hardwood or laminate flooring in place of mopping. If you\u2019re planning on shampooing your rugs and carpet, be sure to complete this task earlier in the week to ensure your floors are completely dry by the time your guests arrive.<\/p>\n
