After-party Cleaning Tips

2/12/2018 (Permalink)

This time of year has many Louisianians throwing parties to celebrate Mardi Gras.  Unfortunately, for the hosts, big celebrations such as Mardi Gras also means a “big mess”. We’ve put together some post-party cleaning tips to help you survive the day after.

1. For plates and pans that are harder to clean (probably from the King Cake), let it soak in soapy water first. Throw in a dryer sheet and notice the crumbs clinging on to the sheet.
2. when cleaning up broken glass, wear a rubber glove to get the bigger pieces and pick up the smaller pieces with bread.
3. For unwanted stains in the toilet, pour a can of Coke in the toilet bowl and allow it to sit for about an hour. Use a brush for an easier way to remove the stains.
4. Ground coffee is helpful for cleaning up vomit. Spreading dry coffee grounds on vomit will help absorb liquids and mask the smell.
5. To clean your grill, let the grill warm up to burn down any remaining food particles. Use a fork to clean the grill with half of an onion.
6. Heat a mug of water in the microwave for a few minutes. This will loosen up grease and other microwave stains, making it easier to clean.
7. Use soap and water to clean your blender. Pour the mixture into your blender and blend for 15 seconds.
