Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and delicious food. But after the celebrations, your home may be left with more than just good memories—think spills, clutter, and lingering food smells. A thorough post-Thanksgiving cleanup helps refresh your home, ensuring a healthier environment as you transition into the rest of the holiday season. At Carvalho’s Cleaning, we’re here to help reset your space so you can enjoy the season stress-free.
Why Post-Thanksgiving Cleanup Matters
Thanksgiving gatherings often bring heavy foot traffic, food spills, and lingering odors that can attract pests and germs if left unaddressed. During the colder months, closed windows mean less ventilation, making it crucial to tackle post-holiday messes. A quick, targeted clean-up after Thanksgiving can keep your home feeling fresh and cozy as you prepare for the holidays ahead.
Step-by-Step Post-Thanksgiving Cleanup
- Start in the Kitchen
- The kitchen is the heart of Thanksgiving, so start by wiping down countertops, stovetops, and sinks to remove grease and crumbs.
- Use baking soda and water paste to clean stubborn spots in the oven and microwave.
- Take out the trash and recycling to eliminate odors and clear the space.
- Dining Room Refresh
- Clean your dining table, chairs, and any other surfaces used during the meal.
- Vacuum or sweep to pick up crumbs, especially if you have carpets. For stains, blot with warm water and mild soap.
- Wash tablecloths, napkins, and placemats to remove food stains.
- Living Room & Common Areas
- The living room likely saw a lot of action. Vacuum high-traffic areas, dust surfaces, and fluff pillows to restore a cozy atmosphere.
- Use a microfiber cloth to clean windows and mirrors. Declutter any items left out during gatherings.
- Freshen Up the Air
- Open windows briefly to air out your space, even in cooler weather.
- For a natural scent boost, simmer water with cinnamon sticks, orange peels, and cloves.
