If you’re like me you know that once it gets close to Christmas then it’s time to start planning the holiday clean up. My clean up starts whenever I begin to take down my tree. It’s at this time that I begin to look around my house and see the dirty baseboards, the dirty windows and so much more. Here’s a list of how I clean up after the holidays.
How I clean up after the holidays.
Once I begin taking down my tree I see all the things that haven’t been cleaned in a while. I then make a list and begin to tackle those items. Here’s my lists of things that I need to get to cleaning after the holidays.
The things I found to clean were:
The hearth, not only did I have to sweep it, I needed to wipe it down. I used the Mean Green Orange Champ for this job. It works wonders.
The windows because of 3 dogs and 3 kids it was a given they needed cleaning. Puppy noses everywhere on my windows.
The baseboards always seem to need a good wipe down.
I had to dust my pictures and my tabletops.
I cleaned everything off my counter and wiped it down and the backsplash in the kitchen
The dog or pet area had to be scrubbed down and allowed to dry.
I went ahead and washed my sheets and blankets.
I washed my curtains in the living room and the kitchen.
I vacuumed the couch and washed the cushion covers.
The grout on the kitchen floor needed cleaning in the worst way possible. This is a big job so only start this one if you have the time. I had to pull out the big guns for this one. I used the Mean Green Super Strength for this one.
I cleaned the space between the window screen and the window. It was so bad. I’m embarrassed.
These are just a few things I found that needed to be cleaned. Have you ever started a project and it led you to clean. It seems that is the way my projects start now a days.
What is on your cleaning list that I didn’t think about? Before you go check out my other cleaning articles. Then follow me on facebook and on pinterest for more fun!
I do the same thing! When I start putting away the tree and all the Christmas decor, I start noticing dirty windows, etc. Mean Green has so many great products and they really help make cleaning up a whole lot easier.
I always forget the baseboards! I’ve heard great things about Mean Green and it looks as if I’m going to have to try this out, on my tough jobs!
I need to try this out! I’ve slowly been cleaning the house and putting away decorations. There are some spots I really need to scrub.
I need to do my after Christmas cleaning. I don’t know how the house can get so messed up in just one day.
I have never used this orange champ for cleaning before. Sounds like it works on just about anything and is easy to use.
There’s so much winter grime that can build up in your home. I agree its nice to get it all cleaned up so you can ring the new year in, in a clean peaceful home.
I LOVE Mean Green cleaner!! It smells great and gets my house SUPER clean!! Speaking of I need to clean my house…HA!
after the holidays the house is usually unrecognizable. It requires a major wave of cleaning and some good cleaning products to restore normalcy.
Cleaning the house even its not after holiday is hard work. I like keeping my place clean and make sure everything is organize. Good cleaning products that is environmental friendly is important.
Do we have to?!? Yes, I did need the nudge to clean up after the holidays.
I don’t clean up until the day before New Year’s Eve. I just sit and let the place do its thing for a few days.
That first pic is too adorable. Make them help at an early age, you won’t regret it!
This is my goal for sure! My house is crazy hectic right now, our basement flooded a week before I gave birth to our new baby, so everything is a HUGE clutter mess here. I need to get my life in order.
I love Christmas, but the one thing that I stuck at is the clearing up. I find the process so painful. this article has made it seem less painful.
Sounds like you have been doing a lot of cleaning! I have to do some deep cleaning like this. Washing curtains and couch covers are a lot of work, good for you!
This product sounds great. It sounds like you really did some deep cleaning with this. I love the picture you shared. He is so cute. Happy New Year. God Bless
These all sound like good things to do for spring cleaning. I know it’s not spring yet, but in California, it kind of feels like spring already. I will have to try out some of the cleaners you use here.
Oooh I have never heard of this cleaner but it sounds great!! I hate the after holidays cleaning and decluttering but SO necessary!!
