Between prepping for guests, baking treats, and wrapping presents, it’s easy for your home to feel less festive and more like a battlefield. But with the right arsenal (we’re talking cleaning supplies, not fruitcake!), you can conquer the chaos and reclaim your clean and tidy home for the season.
Here are some must-have cleaning items to transform your space from “holiday stress central” to “festive oasis”:
The All-Purpose Powerhouse
A good multi-surface cleaner is your holiday cleaning MVP. Look for a spray or wipe that works on countertops, appliances, floors (both hardwood and tile) and even light fixtures. This will eliminate the need for a cabinet full of specialty cleaners and save you precious time.
The Crumb Crusader
Let’s face it, holiday baking means crumbs – everywhere. A handheld vacuum cleaner is a lifesaver for tackling these tiny invaders. It’s perfect for quickly cleaning up spills, dusting furniture and even reaching under appliances.
The Stain Slayer
Whether it’s a rogue splash of cranberry sauce or a mysterious red wine stain, accidents do happen. Keep a good stain remover on hand to handle these holiday mishaps. Choose a product specifically designed for carpets and upholstery to avoid damaging your fabrics.
The Window Wonder
Natural light makes everything feel brighter and more festive. But grimy windows can block the holiday cheer! Invest in a good microfibre cloth and a streak-free glass cleaner. Microfibre cloths are fantastic because they trap dust and grime without needing harsh chemicals.
The Trash Tamer
Holiday gatherings mean more guests, which equals more trash. Having extra trash bags and a handy foot pedal trash can will help control the inevitable overflow. Choose a can with a large capacity to avoid overflowing messes.
