Christmas cleaning tips for a stress-free festive season
Christmas is a magical time of year meant for family, homemade food and presents, but according to a ROIDMI UK poll conducted late last year, the average Brit spends between four and five hours cleaning their home in preparation for Christmas Day, and the national press have suggested some homeowners go so far as cleaning their homes for over an hour on Christmas day (Source: Mirror Online).
Cleaning expert and Director at cordless vacuum cleaner brand ROIDMI UK Geoff Johnson has revealed his top tips to help you get your home prepped for a stress-free season so your home can stay cleaner and fabulously festive for longer.
Geoff says: “Christmas should be spent enjoying time with friends and family, not worrying about mopping and vacuuming. Spending a bit of time prepping your home for the big day in advance will give you more time to take part in all the festive fun.”
Pesky pine needles
“Vacuuming keeps your home looking and feeling fresh but fallen pine needles are a daily battle over the festive season. When vacuuming, make sure to never use the brush head, especially on hard floors, as this can send those pesky pine needles flying across the room. Only vacuum small sections at a time and remember to empty the bag regularly to avoid blockages. Top tip: Try using a lint roller or Sellotape, this also works on soft furnishings!”
Deep clean the kitchen
“Christmas is a time of year we tend to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, so it’s a good idea to prep your kitchen for all the heavy-duty Christmas cooking. A week before the big day you should clean out the fridge and cupboards and throw out old products.”
Clean your decorations
“Christmas decorations spend most of their time hidden away in dusty attics waiting for their time to shine. I recommend giving them a good clean before hanging them up, so they look good as new and impress your guests on Christmas Day.”
Invest in cordless
“A cordless vacuum cleaner such as the ROIDMI X30 Pro makes cleaning up Christmas day mess more convenient than ever and will make light work of pet hair, pine needles, and spillages. They are light and easy to use and will mean you can spend more time with your feet up watching Christmas movies and less time cleaning.”
