Hosting a holiday party this season? The most joyous time of the year can really take a toll on your clean and tidy home. Here are a few cleaning tips to make sure your home stays spotless, even after all the fun and cheer.

Cooking Debris

Dessert crumbs and dinner sauces are bound to make it onto your carpet, hardwood floors, and upholstery. Use a vacuum to clean up your floors and rubbing alcohol with a microfiber cloth on upholstery stains.

Also, if you notice any food splatter on the inside of your oven or microwave, don’t fret. Fill a bowl with water and slice of lemon, heat it for 2 minutes, and then the grime will loosen enough to wipe away.

Wrapping Paper

When everyone is done unwrapping their gifts, place the wrapping paper in a garbage bag for recyclable pick-up. Also keep a vacuum cleaner on hand, that way all the cleaning is taken care of before the party even ends.

Pine Needles

Before you take down your Christmas tree and store it until next year, use a hairdryer to blast away any loose pine needles. Then, use a lint roller to pick them up (it will also grab any glitter from presents as well).
