Who doesn’t love hosting a big party where the fun never stops? But do you know when it stops being fun? It’s the time after the party is over!
And there are cups strewn all over the surface, dirty dishes piled up in the basin, and empty bottles of Eagle Rare after an epic party night! The messy home after a wild party is undoubtedly one of your worst nightmares. It makes you feel like you would never want to host another party ever again.
So, are you going to let the mess and the cleanup come in the way of hosting epic parties? Certainly not!
All you need is the right tips and tricks to clean your house after a huge shindig. And, here’s letting you know all about it!
1. Take Care of Your Carpets without Delay.
A wild party leaves its mark in the form of stains on the carpet, and those stains are not going to come off easily if you leave it unattended for too long. Handling stains such as wine spills and coffee at home is tricky. They need the expertise and tools of professional carpet cleaners to be genuinely useful. Are there no stains on the carpet? You can run your vacuum cleaner through it once just to make sure it’s clean. If that carpet has not seen professional cleaning but has already gone through quite a few parties, it’s time to take it to the cleaners.
2. Deal with Some of the Mess before Sleeping.
Yes, it has been a crazy night, and all you want to do is go to bed and have a good night’s sleep. But imagine waking up to a stinky house the next day, thanks to the leftover food on the counter, dirty plates in the kitchen, and maybe even a few cigarette butts here and there.
It’s best to do some of the cleanings before hitting the bed for the night. You don’t have to start washing all the plates right away, but you can throw away the leftover food. Pick up the disposable cups and plates and toss them in the garbage bin. If you have used your dishes, line them in the dishwasher.
3. Begin with the Messiest Room in the House.
Cleanup is a challenge, and it’s time to face that challenge head-on. So, start with the messiest room in your house instead of leaving it for the last.
Usually, the living room is the place that has the worst mess in the house. There will be cups, plates, leftovers, stains, and all those things that can make you go mad at first. Calm down and start cleaning.
Take your dishes to the kitchen and collect the cans and bottles to have them recycled instead of throwing them away. Put things back in their places, such as that expensive vase or those décor pillows that you had moved out of sight for night.
4. Tackle the Mess Made In Your Bathroom.
Bathrooms can become quite messy after a crazy party because people will drink, and someone or the other is going to throw up. Vomit is the worst thing to clean up from a bathroom. Use a mop to pick up the puke and clean with plain water. After cleaning most of it using water, apply a bit of detergent to disinfect that area thoroughly.
If you had a huge party and there were too many people, the chances are that your entire bathroom needs a thorough clean up for it to stop being unhygienic. Don’t forget to disinfect the bathtub, sink, and toilet bowl.
5. Check Around the House to Make Sure it’s Clean.
You would think that you have cleaned it all, and you would pat on your back for that. And then, you’ll notice that there is a dirty cup and plate peeping at you from the farthest corner of the backyard. Or, there might be cans and bottles in the balcony where people might have stepped in when you weren’t noticing.
So, even if you think that you have finished cleaning, you should stop and check the entire house and the backyard to ensure nothing is left to clean. As a final touch to the process, you should vacuum your full yard and home. You would be surprised at all the junk that was hiding from plain sight.
