A Guide to Post Holiday Cleanup

There are two camps of people after the holidays. On January 2, one camp makes a mad dash to tear down the tree and put away every trace of the season. The other camp dreads post-holiday packing and waits until the first buds of spring to arrive to do so.

No matter which camp you fall into, cleaning up after the holidays can be a time-consuming and downright frustrating process. And it’s a reminder that one of the most joyous times of year has come and gone. However, it doesn’t have to be such a dreaded chore if you plan now.

Here’s How You Should Really Be Cleaning Your Home

Sometimes it can feel like you don’t know where to start when cleaning your home—especially on those lazy Saturday afternoons when you’d rather do anything else. Even though it can be intimidating, it can also be satisfying when it’s finally finished. Try incorporating the cleaning tips below into your routine to help make your life infinitely easier.

Hardwood Floor Maintenance Tips

Everyone loves a shiny hardwood floor, but there are a variety of daily activities that can cause wear and tear, such as moisture imbalances, pet claws, and common foot traffic. To keep that attractive sheen you love, it’s incredibly important to keep up regular, proper maintenance.

Maximize Your Mudroom or Entryway for Fall

The fall often brings cozy decor, tasty food, and fun celebrations into your home—but it can also be a time for tracking in wet leaves, mud, and other markers of the changing weather. Keeping up with maintenance in your mudroom or entryway is of the utmost importance to prevent any potential damage to your interior.

If you don’t already have a dedicated mudroom, you can still reap the benefits of upgrading your entryway for the season ahead.

Tackle These Home Projects During Quarantine

Quarantine has us all spending a lot more time in our homes, and that means you’ve likely had an opportunity to take stock of the home projects you’d like to do. Whether it be something simple like switching out a piece of furniture or more complex such as adding another bathroom, this extra time is a great opportunity to make it happen.

Keeping a Chemical-Free Home

What word comes to mind when you think of your home? Comfortable? Family? Hopefully, you think of your home as a positive space full of happiness and good memories. Although our homes are supposed to be safe spaces, it has become increasingly difficult to keep harmful chemicals (and products made from them) away from our families. And you might be inclined to think that by ridding your home of chemical-filled cleaners you’re eliminating the problem. But, unfortunately, chemicals can be found in most of the things we buy and use on a daily basis.
