Cleaning After the Holidays
The holidays bring joy, laughter, and cherished moments, but they also leave behind a trail of clutter and cleaning challenges. Let’s dive into some simple, mom-approved strategies to get your home back to its sparkling best using Quick Shine products!
How Do You Clean Your House After Christmas?
After the holidays, the first thing to tackle is de-cluttering. Start by carefully packing away holiday decorations—wrap ornaments securely, label storage bins, and keep everything organized for next year. Once the decorations are stored, focus on cleaning the spaces they occupied. Use the Quick Shine Hard Surface Floor Mop to collect dust and glitter remnants efficiently.
Next, tackle the kitchen. Holiday cooking often leaves a trail of spills, crumbs, and grease. Use the Quick Shine Multi-Surface Floor Cleaner to eliminate any stubborn residue on hard surfaces, making your floors and surfaces sparkle.
Finally, refresh the living room and other common areas. Rearrange furniture to its pre-holiday layout and give floors a finishing touch with the Quick Shine Polishes to restore their shine.
What’s Your Strategy for Dealing with Post-Festive Cleanup?
A solid plan can make the cleanup process far less daunting.
- Create a Checklist
List all areas that need attention, from the living room to the bathrooms. Don’t forget to include detailed tasks like mopping floors with the Quick Shine Multi-Surface Spray Mop or polishing hardwood floors with the Hardwood Floor Luster. - Divide and Conquer
Cleaning as a family is faster and more fun! Assign tasks based on age and ability—for instance, younger kids can collect wrapping paper scraps while older ones can help mop or dust. - Set Realistic Goals
Spread tasks over a few days if needed to avoid burnout. Start with high-traffic areas like the kitchen and living room, then work your way through bedrooms and bathrooms. Keep the whole family organized with Cozi.
What Days Are Best for Cleaning?
Timing your cleaning sessions can make a big difference:
- Weekends or Holidays: Perfect for deeper cleaning when everyone has more free time. Dedicate a Saturday morning to scrubbing and mopping.
- Mid-Week Touch-Ups: Keep things tidy by spot-cleaning floors or wiping down surfaces mid-week. Quick Shine Safer Choice Certified Floor Cleaners are ideal for quick and easy maintenance.
- Personalized Schedules: Choose days that align with your family’s routine to ensure you have the time and energy to clean thoroughly.
When Should I Start Cleaning for Christmas?
The key to stress-free holiday prep is starting early:
- Plan Ahead
Begin your pre-Christmas cleaning about a week before the festivities. Use the Quick Shine Mighty Multi-Surface Pack to clean floors and add a protective shine in one go. - Deep Clean Early
Tackle heavy-duty cleaning tasks like scrubbing floors and baseboards before the holiday rush. - Prepare Guest Areas
Make guest rooms warm and welcoming by cleaning floors with the Hardwood Rescue Pack and tidying up a few days ahead of time.
