Dealing with the aftermath of your holiday party can leave you wondering why you hosted one in the first place. But if you use a few of these fast ways to clean up after a holiday party, you’ll be feeling much better about your hosting decision! Take a look at how you can adjust your party plans and spend less time cleaning up than ever before.
- Start out with a clean slate, and you’ll be much better off once the party ends. Empty all the trash cans, run the dishwasher and then put away the clean dishes. Most of the clean up will be done before the guests even start arriving.
- Plan out the menu to include easy to grab, easy to eat foods such as appetizers and finger foods. If you avoid messy, saucy foods from the start, clean up will be much easier.
- If you are hosting more than 15-20 guests, it pays to use disposable dinnerware and silverware that you won’t have to wash afterwards. Don’t worry, there are disposable options that look amazing!
- To limit the spread of the holiday party mess, limit access to rooms you don’t feel like cleaning up afterwards.
- Keep some portable stain removers handy {such as these handy stain wipes from Amazon} to clean up any spills that happen before they have a chance to set.
- As soon as the party ends, focus on accomplishing what’s essential. That includes pre-treating fabric stains, rinsing dishes, and picking up leftover food. The rest can wait until morning!
