For Thanksgiving, you likely had some people over to celebrate the holiday. It's one of the few times a year you spend time with your family and friends. With everything going on, it's best to keep your home clean and sanitized. Here are some steps to take to thoroughly sanitize your home after your guests have left!
Separate by Rooms
As most people know, it's best to separate your cleaning into separate rooms. It makes the job easier by organizing the rooms in the order you want to clean. It also helps to de-clutter the areas before you begin doing anything. Put everything back where it goes, that way you have less mess to work around when you tackle the rooms.
Pick Your Weapon
Choose what cleaning supplies and tools you want to use for each area. The best, safe options are to use eco-friendly products to clean your home. This means harsh chemicals and toxic fume won't be introduced to your environment. Pick something that disinfects the area, but it is made from natural ingredients. There are also specific options for floor sanitation as well.
Tackle the High Surfaces
Counters are the most frequently used surfaces on a daily basis, especially during the holidays. Everything is prepped on these surfaces when you are cooking in the kitchen. Wipe down anything people touched, primarily in the kitchen and the common areas. Coffee tables, kitchen counters, cabinets, anything that was used needs to be sanitized. It's also smart to wipe down dining room chairs and other items people might have used when they visited.
Wipe Down the Floors
Select a floor cleaner that is natural, but will eliminate germs and any bacteria that might have collected. Whether you have hardwood floors or carpet, there are different types of cleaners to tackle both. If you need to sweep or vacuum first to pick up debris, do this before sanitizing. For hardwood floors, you can pour your solution into a mop bucket and mop everything to sanitize. For carpets, shampooing your carpet is a great option to thoroughly clean the areas.
Whether you had several guests over for the Thanksgiving holiday or just your immediate family, it's still a good idea to sanitize. Creating a routine to sanitize your home on a regular basis can help protect your family. It creates a clean, safe environment when you step inside from work, school, and other public places.
