(NC) Whether you are hosting the big family event, out-of-town guests or scrambling to entertain unexpected drop-ins, you want to spend time enjoying the season, not fussing about the clean-up.
From
making delicious messes in the kitchen to building creative crafting
projects in the living room, your home is bound to see a little dirt
over the holidays. This year instead of fretting, do it differently. Strategically-timed clean-ups
during your favourite mess-making entertaining endeavours alleviates
the pressure of hosting duties and allows for maximum time making
special memories.
A little pre-planning goes a long way. Keep in mind the following tips to clean as you go:
• Keep an all-purpose cleaner in your hall closet:
It happens every year. Salt stains dragged in from outdoors. To keep
the dirt at bay, an easy-to-use solution like Green Works
Naturally-Derived All-Purpose Cleaner can be kept by the front door to
remove salt and other unexpected "gifts" family and friends may bring
into your home.
• Give your bathroom a 60-second touch-up:
Make no mistake, your main floor bathroom will see a lot of foot
traffic during the holiday season. Pre-plan a 60-second wipe down of
bathroom sinks and counters with compostable wipes to prevent messy
build ups. Keep them under the sink for handy access.
• Build in a per-dinner breather:
In that precious gap that exists between cooking and plating your
food, use that cooling-off period to give your kitchen surfaces a
preliminary wipe down. This will prevent any spills from drying out and
make your post-meal clean-up that much easier.
