Ganesh Chaturthi is on the 17th of this month. Most home owners spend the last few weeks before the festival trying to organize and clear up the home. If you are already hard pressed for time and there is still so much left to do, maybe these quick home cleaning and care tips will help!
Make a List
First off, start making a list of what has to be done in order to get ready for the festival. Strike of those tasks or chores you think can wait till later. It will help you organize and plan the entire cleaning and organizing process once you jot down what has to be done on priority basis.
Divide the Work
You really don’t have to clean every single nook and corner within a day! In fact, dividing the chores and spreading them over a few days will make it easier to complete. Start with the kitchen, hire a professional cleaner and target one area at a time. Move on to the windows, the fans, the washroom one at a time.
Invest in Smart Products
We live in an age of smart phones and smart devices. When it comes to cleaning too, there is an array of cleaning devices and products that make every cleaning task easier. Choose your products wisely or rely on the professionals instead!
Get Rid of what you Don’t Need
Cleaning the house before a big festival is synonymous with clearing it up. What’s the difference? Clearing up involves decluttering the home. If you have piles of unused clothes, old newspapers, etc lying around, this would be a good time to clear up. A simple decluttering process will make the home look so much neater.
Set a Target
Don’t rush with your cleaning. Take your time but set a target. For instance, if you just have a week left before the festival, devote a day each to one task. Target to complete it all at least a day before the festival begins to give yourself some buffer time. And Voila, you’re all set for the big day!
