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.
