Tips for Deep Cleaning After Holidays

Holidays are fun, but they can easily make a mess. From decorations to extra dishes and gift wrapping everywhere, the aftermath of a holiday is clutter. And you may only notice the clutter when the celebrations go down, the guests leave, and you are left to bring your space back in shape.

Deep cleaning after a holiday is necessary to make the spaces look clean and neat and ensure a healthy and sanitized home. Otherwise, the clutter may affect your mental well-being, kill your productivity, and pose injury risks. Discover some helpful tips for a deep cleaning after the holiday and how a junk removal company can help.

Take Down Decorations

As beautiful as the decorations may look, their season is over, so the decorations must go down. Depending on how overboard you went with decorations, you may need time to take down the lights, wreath, garland, and other decorations.

Some decorations are reusable, while others are broken and must be disposed of. In that case, take time to separate the reusable from the disposable ones and decide what you will do with each item.

Clean High-Traffic Areas

The party or family gathering may have been restricted to the living room, but that doesn't mean other areas were untouched. Clean high-traffic areas like the kitchen, entertainment room, and guest rooms.

The easiest way to clean is to focus on one room at a time. Dismantle furniture if necessary, and dust the surfaces. Remember the laundry, especially sheets and towels.

Clear the Fridge and Pantry

A party means lots of food; if you hosted one during the holiday, your fridge and pantry need clearing out. First, check all the shelves for expiry dates, and throw away any leftovers that have gone bad. After cleaning and drying the shelves, neatly organize them according to categories and list what needs restocking.

Sort Out the Gifts

The holiday season is also the perfect time to show love through gifting, so you probably have a pile of gifts. And as much the gifts were offered with love, some are not something you need or want.

You can donate or return the items to the store if you still have the receipt. However, in case of broken gifts, you may need to junk the items. So, take some hours to unbox the gifts, inspect each item, and decide what to do with them.

Clean the Garage

The garage often serves as storage for holiday decorations and other items, so clearing it out after the season is over is necessary. First, take time to sort through all the items in your garage, and decide what to junk. Then, make room for other activities by disposing of broken furniture, bikes, lawnmowers, and old boxes you no longer need.

Seek Professional Help

The steps above will likely yield a load of junk that may require professional help. A junk removal company can remove all unwanted items and dispose of or recycle the items properly.

Having professionals handle the job is time-saving and ensures everything goes well, without any mess left behind.

Hiring a junk company also ensures everything is disposed of correctly. You don't have to worry about toxic materials or hazardous items getting into the landfills or not complying with the disposing regulations.

Deep cleaning after the holiday season doesn't have to be complicated or daunting. Instead, you can make the process easier, faster, and more enjoyable with the right company.
