After a memorable Thanksgiving feast, your home may need a little extra attention! From cranberry sauce stains to lingering cooking odors, here’s your essential guide to restoring your space to pre-feast freshness:
- Spot-Treat Stains Immediately
For gravy, cranberry, and wine spills, act fast. Blot (don’t rub!) the stain, then apply a mix of mild detergent and water. Gently dab until the stain lifts, and rinse with a damp cloth. - Tackle Grease in the Kitchen
Oven spills and stovetop splatters are common during holiday cooking. Use a mix of baking soda and water on greasy surfaces, scrubbing gently with a sponge. - Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs
Vacuum any crumbs or tracked-in dirt from heavy traffic areas. For deeper freshness, sprinkle baking soda over carpets, let sit for 15 minutes, and vacuum thoroughly. - Air Out the Space
Cooking aromas can linger. Open windows, if possible, and use natural odor absorbers like coffee grounds or bowls of vinegar to neutralize scents. - Disinfect High-Touch Areas
Clean surfaces like door handles, dining tables, and counters with a gentle disinfectant to eliminate germs after the gathering.
