The holidays are a great time to make memories with friends and family, and a clean and inviting home sets the tone. From family traditions and cookie exchanges to visits from out-of-town guests, you want your home to always have that special holiday shine.
Windex has been helping homes sparkle for the holidays ā and every day ā for 75 years. Here are some hints to help you keep your home clean and inviting all season long.
KitchenĀ
Tackle the Fridge ā Clear out food and leftovers that are past their prime. Wipe down shelves and make room for batches of holiday cookie dough and perishable food gifts you might receive. Also wipe down the handles and doors so you have aĀ shiny surface with a fresh, clean scent.
Declutter ā Clear everything off the counters that isnāt involved in cooking. Put whatever has been slowly piling up, such as mail and magazines, in piles: throw away, keep and recycle. This will make clearing the clutter more manageable.
Clean the Stovetop ā Crumbs can build up in the space between the stove and the countertop. Use a stiff brush to loosen and remove them in no time. Once the crumbs are gone, wrap the bristles with a cloth dipped in warm soapy water to degrease that area.
BathroomĀ
Let the Light In ā Take down your bathroom light fixtures and clean them . Dust off your light bulbs too ā youāll be surprised at how much brighter the bathroom looks when youāre done.
