This holiday season is a time to take cleaning seriously. Incredible meals and family quality time await. But only if areas have been properly cleaned. It’s important to stay on top of cleanliness especially with the potential of germ exposure and cross contamination. The more people, the more exposure possibility. Cleaning and disinfecting countertops, doorknobs and tables regularly is just one of the tips you can use to keep everyone as safe and happy as possible this season.
- Don’t procrastinate on cleaning. You don’t have to set aside seven consecutive hard hours to get the job done. Clean your home in little chunks of time over a few days to spread out the work so that every nook and cranny in your house gets the attention it needs.
- Get everyone in the household involved (YES even the kids, roommates, partners and… not dogs, but you get the picture) The more hands on deck the better equipped you can be.
- You can start with entryways, foyer and central closet areas to create room for coats, shoes, etc.
- Hitting the bathroom diligently is a vital part of the process. Disinfecting wipes will be your best bet to get everything — porcelain, sink, tub, floor and toilet — cleaned and in tip top shape. When disinfecting bathrooms, start with the cleanest areas and work your way through the dirtiest. Most ideally, don’t use the same disinfecting wipe on more than one area.
Before you prep food on countertops, kitchen islands, and other kitchen surfaces, consider using sanitizing towelettes that can help eliminate many germs often found in food services areas. 2XL Food Service No Rinse Surface Sanitizing Wipes would be a great product to consider for this.
During holiday season there are plenty of moments and drinks and hours to spend with friends and family. But… for hosts, this means that cleanup is always around the corner. After guests have left there is always more cleaning to be done.
Make time to assess areas of concern, communicate with your guests, perhaps have them help you clean up and even disinfect the surfaces they’ve touched.
Guest bedrooms should be spotless and new appearing, but even more vital, hard surfaces should be disinfected to the extent possible. Bedsheets should be changed regularly. Bedsteads needs to be cleaned and disinfected. Often times nobody thinks about the work that went into the clean but your guest will thank you eventually for having a warm, safe, hospitable environment.
You’re almost done. You do a quick walk-through of the house. Do the bathrooms have clean hand towels, hand sanitizing towelettes, and tissue/toilet paper? Are there messes or tripping hazards left, like your kids’ Spiderman toy? No, okay. You clean, sanitized, disinfected and were RELENTLESSLY dedicated to making a super warm place for your friends, family and yourself. You can relax and be proud knowing that you did your part. Go relax with and enjoy your guests. And be sure to enjoy the Bing Crosby, White Lights, and cozy couch vibes. You earned it.
