C’s Home and Office Management is here to assist. We know how hard it is to keep up with all of the holiday festivities, so we’ve put together some helpful hints on how to get your house in tip-top shape after company leaves.

We offer a wide range of services that will leave your house sparkling clean, including a deep cleaning or light cleaning for the new year. We also have experience working with all types of surfaces – from marble countertops to hardwood floors – so you know we’ll take care of everything perfectly. From cleaning out the fridge to organizing closets, we’ll show you how to make sure everything is perfect, so you can take a breath and start the new year stress-free.

Let’s get started in the kitchen.

Deep clean the fridge.

Dispose of any ‘expired’ items in the refrigerator. Go through all the food and condiments. Clean from top to bottom. A simple mixture of warm mild soap and water will work. Clean all the shelves, drawers, and ledges. Refresh the baking soda for odor control. Be sure to check the seal on your refrigerator, mold can hide here. Go through your freezer as well, disposing of any food that may have been kept past its time. Creating a fresh batch of ice is a great way to help freezer odors as the ice will absorb food odors around it. A spotless refrigerator is essential to start the year off with a clean slate!

Tackle the linen closet.

We suggest you have two separate areas for your linens: one for your personal use and one for guests. The guest sheets and towels will last a lot longer with less use. For your personal linens you can extend their life by adding 1/2 cup of white vinegar to the load to remove detergent buildup, this tip will also help restore your towels to their original fluffy state. Even with proper maintenance towels and sheets do have a life expectancy. It may vary but after 5 years it is time to replace your sheets, 3 years for towels. You can recycle them into rags for household projects. To keep your linen closet organized you should place a folded set of sheets inside a matching pillow case, this way you know where your entire set of sheets are.

Additional helpful happy new year hints.

Place doormats both outside and inside your doorways to help keep floors clean and safe.
Pay special attention to guest rooms and baths, which may not be used frequently and could use a special freshening up. Check that all linens and pillows are fresh, and provide an extra blanket or two. Make sure there is an empty drawer and closet space with hangers.
Right now, disposable hand towels or reusable napkins are a great idea when you’re using a shared bathroom. They keep germs to a minimum, and you don’t have to worry about freshening the bathroom hand towels so often. Stock up on clearance items now that the holidays have passed.
Another way to keep older family members from taking the germs your kids picked up at school home with them is to wipe down doorknobs and light switches daily.
When taking down holiday decorations in your house, make sure they’re nice and clean before storing them for next year’s holiday season.
Don’t forget the oven! A good self-cleaning will keep it free from past food odors and working optimally.
