Having a party is a great way to bring your friends together, share good food and have a boogie. But hosting can be stressful! As well as being responsible for making sure everyone’s having a good time, you’re also in charge of the cleaning after the fun is over. Follow these top tips to make clearing up after a party a walk in the park!

Have the Tupperware Ready

If you’re having food at your party, have your storage containers prepped and ready before the party begins. That way, you can immediately box up leftovers and pop them in the refrigerator for tomorrow. It’s also a good idea to clear space in your refrigerator before the party for this purpose.

Take a Trash Bag for a Walk

Grab a garbage bag and take a walk around the main party area. You’ll find plenty of trash and the room will start to look neater right away! If you’ve got a lot of cans and bottles, take a few bags with you so you can separate the recycling as you go.

Spot Sticky Stains

Don’t leave any sticky food or drink stains over night. Take a damp cloth and spot clean anything that needs a scrub. You’ll thank yourself in the morning!

Load the Dishwasher

There’s nothing worse than waking up to a big pile of dirty dishes. Load the dishwasher before bed, or scrape away food and pop your dishes in the sink to soak if you don’t have a dishwasher.

Hiring someone to help you with seasonal cleaning or keeping your home tidy on a weekly basis is not a taboo anymore. There are many agencies that offer cleaning services for a reasonable fee for anyone who’s tired of doing the chores alone. Here’s what you should do before hiring a house cleaner for the first time.

Should You Tip?

You’re absolutely not required to tip your cleaner, but if you’re feeling grateful or want to show appreciation for the work done by tipping, a range of 10-20 percent is appropriate.

Tidy Up

This really depends on the type of the arrangement, but if you’re hiring someone for a few hours once a week, you want them to be able to use that time effectively. This means you should tidy up before they come so they can start cleaning immediately.

However, you shouldn’t worry about the cleaner seeing your mess—that’s why you called them in the first place!

Mention Your Pets

Make the agency know if you have pets as some cleaners may be allergic. Typically, nobody (unless allergic) should have any problem with your pets present during the cleaning, as long as they’re well behaved.

We all must admit our houses have dirty areas in them that need more attention than others. Here are some areas to pay attention to:

Kitchen

This area is the breeding ground for all manner of bacteria, some harmless and some dangerous. The kitchen should be cleaned more regularly than most other areas, especially the sink, countertops, handles, and the refrigerator.

Bathroom

This area can become a germ-breeding haven if not cleaned often. Make sure items such as towels and mats are regularly washed. Change hand towels every few days. Keep the bath, basin, and shower disinfected.

Common living areas

Germs are lurking on things that everyone touches such as the TV remote and game controllers. Clean these with disinfectant wipes often, especially when someone is sick. Mites love the cushions of the couches and chairs. Consider steam cleaning periodically.

The bedroom

Bed linen needs to be changed frequently, which makes sense given how much time we spend in our beds. Use a mattress cover to prevent mites from getting into the mattress or steam clean it occasionally.

For those of us who hate chores around the house, at least there are some that we don’t need to do more than once a year! Here are some examples:

Cleaning the gutters

It is wisest to clean your gutters after the leaves have finished falling in the autumn. If you don’t, your gutters become clogged and cause expensive damage to the roof.

Cleaning outdoor furniture

This is a chore reserved for spring when the outdoor furniture is being unpacked for the coming summer. You should only need to clean it once a year if keep up to date with stain removal as soon as accidents happen.

Personal documentation

If you keep a temporary filing system (even if it’s a drawer where you store bills, etc.), then at the end of the tax year you can go to your document filing system, remove the old paperwork, and file the new in preparation for tax season.

Garage, basement, and attic

Once a year these areas should be thoroughly cleaned from corner to corner. Look for damage that needs to be repaired and get rid of broken or unused items.
