Top 10 Holiday Cleaning Hacks

Christmas and New Year holidays are usually a hectic time for most people. So to save you a little extra time and energy we have 10 Holiday Cleaning Hacks to share, so you can get back to the more important things like socializing and BBQ'ing!

Top 10 Holiday Cleaning Hacks:

  1. Line your kitchen bin with multiple bin bags, so another fresh bag is already in place!
  2. Set the table the night before... it's one job you won't have to do on the day of hosting a gathering or on Christmas day, and it also looks wonderful all set up readyfor when your guests arrive.
  3. When you are hosting a gathering, create a 'drinks area'on the bench or on a side table. Place wine and beer glasses and a jug of a water and napkins. This way people can easily help themselves without having to chase you down to ask for a glass.
  4. Have plenty of food storage containerson hand, so cleaning up left overs is quick and easy, and there is less wastage! You can always freeze what you can't eat!
  5. If you have minimal time available to do the housework before people come over, make sure you do these 3 things:1. Vacuum 2. Clear the bench tops in the main entertaining area 3. Clean the bathroom/toilet. Voila!
  6. Invest in a rubber broom!This will easily sweep up pine needles without getting stuck in the bristles and it also is a great tool year round for picking up pet fur on rugs!
  7. Pet fur on your furniture? Use a rubber gloveto remove it quickly and easily
  8. Got a sticky label that is determined to stay put? Use a hair dryer!
  9. If you are at the beach house over summer, minimize trailing sand inside with you by keepinga bucket of water and towel outside the door.
  10. Keep a medium sized plastic tray in the bootof your car over summer, for wet togs, towels and sandy shoes.

And there you have it! 

Happy silly season from the team at Rug Doctor!
