Tell us if this sounds familiar to you…
You decided to throw a party at your home for some of your close friends and family. Everyone showed up on time, there was plenty of food, snacks, and drinks for everyone, and you had the time of your life.
Sounds like the perfect night doesn’t it?
But then the time comes for everyone to leave and as the laughter and festivities fade away, you are left facing the aftermath of the wonderful time you had.
There is garbage everywhere, all the surfaces are littered with dirty cups, bottles, and plates, the floor is full of crumbs, and the bathroom smells like a public toilet!
Cleaning up afterward is one of the most stressful aspects of throwing a party. Some people say it is even more stressful than planning the bash. Fortunately, we’ve got you covered with our comprehensive post-party cleaning checklist!
Things To Clean The Same Day
Most people feel too exhausted and tired after enjoying themselves thoroughly and are tempted to put off the cleaning till the next day. Unfortunately, there are some things that you should clean up immediately if you want to make the task easier for you the next day and avoid attracting various bugs and pests into your home.
Here is a list of things you should do as soon as the guests leave:
- Collect any leftovers and cover them up before putting them in the freezer to ward off ants and other bugs, as well as the risk of food poisoningin case someone decides to eat it the next day. Removing any leftover food will also prevent any stinky odors from spreading in the house.
- Grab a large trash bag and go around the house collecting any plastic cups, empty bottles, and other garbage.
- Pick up all the dishes and silverware, load up the dishwasher and turn it on so they will be clean and ready for use the next day.
- Check all surfaces such as the rugs, carpets, and couch cushions for any spills and treat them for stains before they set in.
- Pour some toilet cleaner in the bowl and let it stay for the night to make it easier to clean the next day while preventing any lingering odors.
- Sprayquality disinfectant all over the house and especially in the high traffic areas such as the dining table, the coffee table, light switches, doorknobs, sinks, and faucets, and wipe them as you go.
- Check any wooden surfaces for water rings and clean them up before they get permanently damaged.
Cleaning Up The Day After The Party
The day after the party is when you do the grunt work and deep clean the entire house. Here is what you should focus on and add as you go according to your home cleaning needs:
- Take down any decorations you might have put up and store them away safely.
- Take out the clean dishes from the dishwasher and put them away.
- Take all the bathroom towels, kitchen towels, and table linens and put them in the washer. Load up the dryer once they are washed and fold them before putting them away.
- Clean up the toilet by scrubbing the toilet bowl thoroughly and clean and sanitize all other surfaces.
- Sweep, mop, or vacuum the entire house to remove sticky messes and any dirt and debris from the floors.
- If you had a barbeque party, clean the grill properly before storing it and hose down the patio and deck.
