Tips for a tidy home when time is of the essence during the Christmas season | Home Improvement and Living – Fairfax Times

Parties, family gatherings, moments with friends and the occasional surprise guest: the holidays are full of fun encounters and reasons to celebrate. While there's a lot to look forward to, cleaning the house can be a less enjoyable holiday activity.

Decluttering your home can be a lot of work. If you want your home to look its best for a large event, a small gathering, or just an unexpected guest, a quick clean with minimal effort can make all the difference. Here are some tried-and-true tips and tricks to save you time by cleaning smarter, not harder.

Tip 1: Use multitasking cleaners to save time

You don't need a cupboard full of cleaning solutions. Choose multitasking options like Bona's all-purpose cleaners, which clean a variety of surfaces including stainless steel, glass, ceramic, granite and stone. You can complete many tasks around your home quickly and feel good about using a product that is 99% USDA certified, meaning it's better for the environment.

Tip 2: Create trash cans for quick cleanup

One way to reduce clutter is to set up a trash system to quickly declutter a room. Have a small basket or trash can in each room to throw items that need to be put away quickly. This frees up space, especially when time is short. You can put the container in a closet to store later or give it to a family member to store the items while you focus on another task.

Tip 3: For a clean look, focus on the floor

A quick mop will have any room clean in no time, and a cleaning system like Bona's Premium Spray Mop is ideal for dusting and mopping. With an extra-large mop head for faster cleaning, microfiber pads that can be washed and reused up to 500 times, and a system that uses 97% less water than a traditional mop and bucket, it offers great value for money. And it is also environmentally friendly.

Tip 4: Use a mobile cleaning cart for home use

If you only have a few minutes to spare, a well-filled plastic basket can be a lifesaver. Fill your shopping cart with your favorite products, including Green Guard, USDA Biobased and EPA Safer Choice certified cleaning products, to ensure safe ingredients are used in your home. Add things you find helpful, such as: E.g. microfiber cloths, paper towels and rubber gloves. This way, if you get a last-minute call or text, you can quickly clean up before guests arrive.

Tip 5: Don't worry, be happy

The holidays are really about family and friends, so clean a little less and enjoy a little more. While you might notice a few crumbs on the floor or dust on a shelf, your guests probably won't notice. Focus on cleaning high-visibility areas, surfaces and floors while reducing clutter for best effect, especially when you're short on time. Let go of the rest and spend your time enjoying the season.

In just a few minutes, it's easy to get your home ready to welcome your guests. Remember that the holidays are an opportunity to spend time with your loved ones, so stress less, enjoy your home and enjoy the joy of the season.
