When you’re planning an event, it’s always important to note the cleanup that comes before and after it happens.
Planning out an event is already stressful enough, but taking the cleanup into account only adds to the effort.
All it takes to finish this chore is a little organization, thought, and planning and you’ll have your home as it always has been!
Here are a few event cleaning tips for cleaning up your home before and after an event:
Keep a checklist ready
Before the event begins, your house needs to look at its best. You certainly do not want your guests to walk into your home and find it a mess.
Check off items on a list on what, where, and how you should clean your home before the event. For example, you can space out furniture and dust the living room.
Also, keep other important rooms such as the kitchen in order since you might be using it to prepare snacks and meals if you’re planning a party.
Stock up on cleaning tools
Another step in preparing your home early for an event is to stock up on what you’ll need to clean in anticipation of the event.
Events can be messy especially with guests coming in, which is why you’ll need essential cleaning such as:
- Paper towels
- Wet cloths
- Mops and brooms
- Biodegradable bin bags
Check your cleaning closet to see if you’re well-equipped to tackle any messes that might come up.
Be diligent during the event
Being diligent in cleaning will certainly help reduce the time wasted in the aftermath of the event.
For this, it helps if you clean up any spills from drink and food as the event happens. Keep an eye on your guests as well to make sure that they aren’t causing too much mess within your home.
Pick up after guests as the event concludes
Cleaning up after the event will usually involve you picking up after your guests.
Common messes after the event can be crumbs in between your furniture, used glasses, plates, and utensils. Even the outside area of your home could hold trash that needs to be disposed of properly.
Picking up after your guests isn’t always fun. But if you know the areas of your home where they mostly frequented during the event, then you can deal with most of the mess you’ll need to clean up in no time.
